COMRADES AND BROTHERS.

From The Edinburgh News.
BY a curious chance of empire, the gates Of
Peking were shut when the legations were finally
cut off two brothers who belonged 10 quite dif-
ferent branches of the British service and might
have been divided by hundreds of leagues-I)r
Wordsworth Poole, the medical officer of the lega-
ton, and his younger brother, officer in one OF
the legations.
The story of these two brothers reads like the
romance of the Corsican brothers Wherever one
is In danger the other seems to be his help
The military brother some years ago was lafd

numbered some of the brightest minds in the country, among them being our own Junius Jordan. It prepares young ladies and young men for their future battles and has turned out greater number of val uable citizens than any other school in the country.
 An act of the general assembly of Arkansas to amend certain sections of the University law, says among other things thay, "The board of trustees of the school should notify the county judge Of each county Of the number of free scholarships ap- pnrtioned to the county at least two months prior to the beginning of each regular annual session of the school, and 1t shall be the duty Of the county iudSe to appoint from the actual residents Of the county the number of benefieiaries to which it may be entitled, preference being given to those noted for diligence and proficiency in study. If the county judge shall fail to name the quota of banef1ciaries, or if those ap- pointed shall fail to attend, the President of the University shall ap- point the full number"
 The number of bsneficiarfes fixed by the Board Of Trustees is 1000, dis tributed to the counties of the State in proportion to the population. There fig also one Honorary Schol- arship" to each county, to be award ed for superior merit and proficiency, from tbe public schools.
 Jefferson county is given twenty nine free scholarships, which County Judge J ones is now ready to give to young ladies and gentlemen ho put in application for same. All benefi- ciary students should be present, if practicable, at the opening of the first term. Appointment Of benefi. ciaries are made for a period of four years; but failure to enter the Uni versity within reasonable time, or absence from the University for 8 year or more forfeits the appoint. ment. A student may be reappoint- ed after an appointment has expired. Here is a chance for enterprisiug young people to get free schooling in one of the best colleges in America.

SETTING TIRES.
The old Way of Shrinking Them on
and the Modern Way.

The old way OF putting a tire on
wheel was TO shrink It on. The tire
was made just trine smaller than the
wheel and then heated, with the result
Of expanding 1t slightly. When thus
heated It was crowded down over the
rim OF the wheel and then cooled with
water TO keep It from burning the
wheel and also to contract 1t. Cool
Ing. Il was shrunk on to bind the wheel
tightly. The modern way OF putting
tire on a wheel Is with hydraulic
tire setting press.
BY this method the tire Is made just
a trlhe larger than the wheel. so that

bed Of this press. upon which the
wheel lies horizontally, with an open

outer end of each section Is turned up

continuous flange, or collar. all around
the bed Of the press. Each one OF the
sections has under IL a hydraulic cylin-
der, and the sections are all arranged
TO work to common center. In use
the wheel is laid on the press with the
cold tire around 1t within that turned
up collar, or flange, around the edge.
When the press Is set in operation, the
