OUR SMALLER COLLEGES.
In Many Respects They Arc Doing

In Many Respects They Are Doing
Better Work Than the Larger.
There are a few striking facts about
the small American college. writes Ed
ward w. Box in Ladies' Home Journal.
One striking fact is that 60 per cent.
of the brainiest Americans who nave
risen to prominence and success are
graduates of colleges whose names are
scarcely known outside of their own
states. It is fact, also, that during the
past ten years the majority of the new
and best methods of learning have
emanated from the smaller colleges,
and have been adopted later by the
larger ones. Because a college happens
to be unknown 200 miles from the place
of it's location does not always mean
that the college is not worthy of wider
repute. The fact cannot be disputed
that the most direct teaching. and
necessarily the teaching most produc
tive of good results, is being done in
the smaller American colleges. The
names of these colleges may not be ia
miliar to the majority of people. but
that makes them none the less worthy
places Of learning. The larger colleges
are unquestonably good. But there
are smaller colleges just as good. and.
in some respects, better. Some Of the
finest educators we have are attached
to the faculties of the smaller institu-
tons of learning. Young girls or
young men who are being educated at
one of the smaller colleges need never

college; it is the student.

The big new steam mill of o. j.
Stowe at Beverly will be completed in
about two weeks. 1t has boilers and
engines of 11O horse power and a COM
plete outfit of Case roller mill machin-

Stowe that his outfit was the best for
a mill of that size they had ever turned

Beverly wheat buyers, and the mills

The Muskingum is down to low water
mark-four feet and FIVE tenths.
There isn't such a thing as stopping
navigation on it any more on account
of low water, as the dredgeboat and
newly built lock, maintain a four foot
channel. A steamboat has not stuck
in the Muskingum river for seven
wears.

The Beverly and Marietta backet So
noma, as remodeled, will no doubt set
the pegs for the Muskingum river
steam boats for some years past and
perhaps for any OF them heretofore in
that trade. Saturday she ran from
Blake's, over eight miles above Bever-
ly, to Beverly in three-quGrters of an
hour, or at the rate of II miles an hour
in still water and with less than $50
pounds of steam, slowing up for a
quarter of mile in shallow water
As she is allowed 200 pounds of steam,
when everything gets to working
nicely she will make much better time,
She came down from Beverly Tuesday
in three hours and half, making nine
landings and handling considerable
freight Fifteen miles an hour down
stream will be easy work for her when
the river is up.

a WARLIKE MISSIONARY.

Enemy.
That the warrior spirit is not con-
fined to soldiers is clearly shown by
story of missionary chaplain in Natal.
Rev. George Smith. MIR Smith had
been temporarily attached to the army
for the period Of the campaign, and dur
ing the whole of the long and fierce
Zulu attack right gallantly he played
his part in tending the sick, giving aid
to the wounded and comforting the
dying.
No one had greater share OF danger
than he, and no one, says a writer in
Blackwood's Magazine, showed a more
soldierly example Of treating that dan
ger with. calm Indifference. Not only
did he perform the duties of his office
but as every man who could handle n
rifle was sorely needed to defend the
parapet, Mr.. Smith did essential service
by going round the various posts and
distributing reserve cartridges.
good story went round the army in
South Africa bearing on the spirit Of
his professional conduct on one occa-
sion.
One of the men, in the heat and ex-
citement of battle, was cursng his en-
emies and using most profane Ian
guage, The chaplain, coming behind,

were when they were built.
One of the Dutch governors of New
Amsterdam, seeking in spirit some fa-
miliar earthly habtation might find
old Amsterdam, for it cuts the same
figure in the sky to-day thatit did when
he left it; but the last dead boss of New
York, if by any chance he should get
away from where he ought to be, would
search the horizon in vain for the face
of his city. The features his eye would
seek for are there; Old Trinity still
stands, its stecple, like the spires OF
the old cathedrals, uplifted high above
the earth; but its solitary prominence
is gone. The modern office building
has risen higher than the head of the
cross and the church has lost its dis
tinction. The enterprise of business has
the aspiration of religion.

Metallized Wood.

The following process, invented by
Mr.. Rubennick, forAmetallizing wood,
is thus described by Les Mondes: "The
wood is first immersed for three or four
days, according to its permeability, in
a caustic alkaline lye (calcareous soda)
at a temperature of from IS to 80 de-
grees. Thence it passes Immediately
into bath of hydrosulphite of calcium,
to which is added, after "a or Sc hours,
a concentrated solution of sulphur in
caustic potash. The duration of this
bath is about 48 hours, and its tempera-
ture is from 35 to 80 degrees. Finally
the wood is immersed for 30 or so hours
in hot solution (35 to SO degrees) of
acetate Of lead. The process, as may be
seen, is a long one, but the results are
surprising. The wood thus prepared,
after having undergone a proper drying
at moderate temperature, acquires un-
der burnisher of hard wood polished
surface and assumes a very brilliant
metallic luster. This luster is still fur
ther increased if the surface of the wood
be first rubbed with piece Of lead, tin
or zinc and be afterward polished with
q glass or porcelain burnisher. The
wood thus assumes the appearance of a
true metallic mirror and is very solid
and resistant. -Invention.

The Old Time Stagecoach.

In 1852 there were, strange as it
seems. only six stagecoaches running
in all England, and of course these were
the only public vehicles for travellers.
Even these were a novelty, and per-
son named John Crosset thought they
We're such dangerous innovation that
he wrote a pamphlet against them.
"These coaches, - he wrote, "make gen.
tlemen come to London upon every
small occasion, which otherwise they
would not do except upon urgent neces-
sity. Nay, the conveniency Of the pass
age makes their wives come often up,
who rather than come such long jour-
neys on horseback would stay at home.
Then when they come to town they
must be in the wade, get fine clothes,
go to plays and treats, and by these
means get such a habit of idleness and
love of, pleasure that they are uneasy
after" Even people who come to the
city on steam cars are sometimes sim
ilarly affected by the visit, even unto
this day.-Exchange.

Parliamentary Humor.

The London World gives this as an
illustration of the keen humor of JUS
tice Darling: On one occasion, when
Mr.. Gladstone was beginning to give
up the lead in the house of commons to
Sir William Harcourt, it was noticed
by the members that he left the house
at the dinner hour and Sir William
Harcourt led for the rest Of the sitting.

A Thorough Cure.

There is no sentiment about GriZler.
He is close and is not easily alarmed. It
is not surprising, then, that the doctor
assumed the utmost gravity when Griz-
Ter called to present the case of his wife.
''I'm greatly afraid,'' said the hus-
band, ''that her mental equilibrium is
disturbed. She is not like other women
and not as she used to be-
"What are the symptoms?'
"You may regard them Of negative
character, doctor. To begin with, she
never opens her fashion papers of late -
bad! Bad! Very bad!''
II feared as much. The woman who
lives next door called last night and
wore one of the most elegant hats I ev
er saw. You know that l am not given
to noticing such things. Mrs. Grizle1
never seemed to see it and said nothing
about it after the caller had gone"
lawful exclaimed the doctor, ''aw-
full. I've known your wife, Grizler, ev.
or since she was born. No one ever had
a brighter mind or a happier DISPOSE
tion. I can't understand it. Used to be
the life and beauty of every company
she was ever in. Does she go out?''
''No, nor entertain. Never mentions
the theater, burns all invitations and is
without the slightest interest in the So
oial whiri. Iwould give half I'm worth
to see her the girl married.
"Done," snapped the doctor, and he
wrote out the strangest prescription on
record. It called for horses, carriages,
fine raiment, jewels and a we'll filed
purse. At the bottom was a receipt in
full for $3.50, 900. There was no chance
for Grizler to weaken, and now his
wife is one of the most brilliant women
in the swim. When she and the old doc
tor meet, he winks and she whispers,
