Old IrOnsides' Masts.

One hundred years ago the Constitu-
ton, cold Ironsides," was launched at
Boston, where it is now proposed to take
her from Portsmouth. According to re-
port the Constitutions three masts were
cut in the town of Malta, now Windsor,
on the north side of the Augusta road be-
tween Cooper's Mills and Bryant's Cor

one Gray cut the trees, swamped road
to Puddle dock in Alma in the winter Of
1865 81, and hauled them into the Sheep

Wiscasset, where the government agents
yoked them at both ends with pieces of
white oak, 5xs, slipped through mortices
in the trees, and then towed them to Bos-

The Happiest Person Alive.

The person who has always been we'll
takes health as matter of course, and
doesn't appreciate it. The happiest persons
are those who have been cured after they
have considered themselves incurable they
become anxious about their fellow-men, and
spread far and wide the good news of their
regained health and the means ty which it
was accomplished. There is a great army
of such people to-day who owe their present
happiness and health to DR.. Greene and his
great medical discoveries, and the testimony
they bear of relief from the grip of decay and
death bears out the broad statement that all
the diseases arising out of the nerves and
blood can be quickly and permanently con-
quered by this famous specialist. Among
the potent remedies discovered by his re-
search is the world famed Nervura. Dr.
Greene's office is at 81 Temple Place, Bos-
ton, Mass, and he may be consulted either
personally or by letter free of all charge. To
be told exactly your i'll and what TO take to
be well by this great physician, free of all
cost, is the privilege of rich and poor alike.
A letter to him will receive instant atten-
ton, and his reply and advice will be abso-
lutely without charge.

The Pearl Craze in Arkansas.

An official of the Interior Department
has received some interesting information
about the craze which has seized he peo-
pie of Arkansas for pearl hunting. His
letter says that nearly all the strea ms of
the State are being dragged for mussels.
In the White River party Of pearl hunt
ers took out 2O0O musses in one day with
out flnding a single pearl. That same
evening number of colored boys who had
been attracted to the scene found some
mussels from which they took half dozen
valuable pearls.
A resident of Camden, Ark, writing on
the pearl hunting craze, says that it has
become SO violent in that vicinity that it
is seriously interfering with the gather
ing of the crops. The pearls which are
being taken from the streams around Cam
value from 81 to So. The pearls which
are being found are what are known as
''orient pearls on account of their fine
tint.
The pearl craze in Arkansas was, ac-
cording to the Interior Department of
hcial S correspondent, started. by vet
eran who was an inmate of the Confederate
soldiers home, near Little Rock. This
veteran got a leave of absence from the
home, and while on his furlough engaged
III pearl hunting in the Saline River. He
was SO successful that he applied for an
indefinite absence from the home to hunt
pearls. This started others, and before
long every stream in the State was being
searched for musselS.

vantage of highly trained and industrial
population All the leading European ma
lions are spending fabulous sums in the
establishment of trade schools of all
kinds, not necessarily all in textiles, but
in every branch of industry, realizing the
great advantage that nations like Germany
have received in the possession of special
lied trade schools during the last 20 years.
The Lowell school is the result of a
movement on the part of American man
ufacturers to lead other nations in the
making of high grade textiles.
New England textile manufacturers are
now recognizing fully the necessity of
such schools in order to qualify workmen
to take the positions of overseers, to en-
able the sons of manufacturers to learn
the business i'll greater variety than is
possible in any one MILL and to give the
young men who enter the textile business
the best advantages. The trade school,
and especially the textile school, is essen
TALLY an institution for giving a young
man an earning capacity. A better in
vestment cannot be made than the fees
payable at such a school, for the instruc-
ton gives a capacity for earning d sub
stantial salary in after life.
The school is the admiration of all visit
ors, and it is thus gratifying to note that
it compares advantageously with all for
eign schools. L. S. Consul Monaghan, of
Chemnitz in Saxony. has recently written
a letter in which he welcomes the estab-
lishment of the Lowell school, and re
cent visit by Director Brooks of the Lowell
Textile school to Europe, and his inspec-
ton of European textile schools for the
fifth time during the last eight years.
further confirms the opinion that the
Lowell school is up to date in every re-
spect, and is as well equipped as any for
eign school.
The Lowell Textile school offers very
advantageous opportunity for the young
men of New England, and also of the
Southern and Western States to learn the
textile business to the best advantage, and
to take advantage of opportunities that
are seldom provided.
Catalogues giving course of instruction
and other information may be had from
Director Brooks, Lowell, Mass.

The w. c. L. U. and War.

| The energies of the Nebraska branch of
the Woman Christian Temperance Union
are reported to be engaged in an attempt
to prevent the use of real weapons by the
high school cadets in the State public
schools. At present the State provides
real muskets for the boys to drill with,
but these ladies are said to maintain that
the young men of the State should be
taught peaceful methods of settling dis
putes, and that exercises with fire arms
are not conducive to that sort of instruc-
ton. In this position, if it is really true
that they have taken it, the Nebraska
Christian Unionists seem to show them
selves not quite up to the times. The
modern idea Of the use of trained soldiers
is to prevent fighting and to compel the
peaceful settlement of disputes. All
Europe is armed, not for conquest or to
bring about the rule of the sword, but for
fear some one may commit a breach of the
peace. Whan there is railroad strike or
any sort of eruption Of the workers or the
unemployed in Nebraska, and the militia
are called out, what are the armed soldiers
used for? To settle dispute by force?
Nota bit. To compel settlement by legal,
peaceable methods so the modern idea
is that to teach soldering to schoolboys is
not to make warriors of them, but men of
peace.
After all, though, to make instructive
comments on the actions of the Christian
Unionists in the West is thankless task
since no sooner is an apparent indiscretion
criticised than Miss Frances f. Willard re-
ports that it never happened; or if it did
happen, that the w. c. 7. L. was not re-
sponsible. [Harpers Weekly.

on the premises, humidiiiers, and COM
plete system of fire protection, and every
thing that can be considered at all neces-
stry for the equipment of a school or mill.
The instruction is divided into several
sections. The principal departments are the
evening classes for the people employed
in the mills. In the day classes, which are
held both morning and afternoon, arrange
ments are made for the training of stu
dents III any one of four courses.
First, the cotton manufacturing course
second, the wooden manufacturing; third,
the designing, and fourth, the dveing.
These courses overlap to a considerable
extent, so that q student in any one
branch attains sufficient knowledge o
other branches SO far as they appertain to
his own section, but the work is special
lied as fal as possible, SO that at the end
OF the three years course IA the school.
the student will have the knowledge of a
practical manufacturer in one of the four
important branches.
In the evening school the work is much
more specialized, as the evening students
have less time to devote to the work
than the day students. The evening stu
dents have all the advantages that the day
students have in manipulating the ma
chinery and taking the same subjects of
study.
The school is fortunate in having very
strong board Of administration. The trus-
tees include mill tleasurers, agents. and
uperlntendents from various parts of the
M errimack valley under the presidency of
Agent A. G. Cumnock, of the Boot cot
ton mills, and the capital invested in the
mills they represent amounts to about

two textile schools, but these are import
ant ones and it has been the good fortune
OF the Lowell Textile school to be in a posi-
ton t. eclipse all other existing schools in

and excellent arrangement of its equip

The collection of power looms includes
representative machines from almost all
