The American Federationist, the off, cial organ of the American Federation of Labor, which President Samuel Gompers edits in person, contains this reference to war possibilities, which is of present interest: The workers are not less but perhaps more patriotic than all others, yet they abhor war for mere wars sake. If the honor of our country has been insulted, if the inter ests of our people are assailed, if the lives of our men are wantonly or ma- liciously destroyed, none will be more ready to respond to call to redress the wrongs and punish the evildoers than the united wage of our country; but no spirit of jingoism or false sentimentaliy will move them from their well-grounded position. In any war labor must not only furnish the men to do the fighting, to be killed and maimed, to leave the suffering widows and orphans hearts bleeding, but the toilers thereafter must bear the burden of taxation resulting from such a catastrophe.

The Textile Training School of Clem- son college, South Carolina, will be similar in design to small model cot ton factory. It will be equipped with specimen machines for the work of the various departments of mill in the manufacture of cotton. These ma- chimes will be set up and equipped to be operated. Besides lectures and the study of textbooks on the manufac- ture of cotton, each student will be required to analyze the construction of each machine by taking it to pieces and putting it together again. This will be done under the direction of an instructor, who will explain the func- tions of the different parts of the ma chine. A careful explanation will also be made in the manner of adjusting the various machines for different work.

"As distinct branches Of science ethnol-

Is rarely of scientific character. No one

to understand a few tribes. Governments
have been breaking down the barriers; ex-

to collect and oollate facts. As 20 final
