Vibration.

.Uibration is the great bugbear Of
H. husiness," said one of the best In
nrmed stationary engineers in New
nrleans. ut is governed by fixed
rvs of course, but they are so subtle
III intricate that 1t is next to impossi-
NJ ~ master them. They have a most
,r,nortant bearing, however, on the life
40 machinery. l have known valuable
s,oines to jar themselves literally to
nieces for no apparent cause. Some
s,ioht error in adjustment had set up
vihration that was communicated from
mart to part, like a contagious disease,
mill the whole plant was affected.
"a steady tremor of that kind will
not orly wear out the parts, but It
couses what we call structural
changes in the metal itself. Wrought
steel will gradually lose it's toughness
and elasticity and become as brittle as
cost iron. When it is fractured, the in
terior will have a strange, graduated
anpearance, and the worst of it is that
the alteration may be going on for
months without the knowledge of the
most careful engineer alive. That is
the secret of the breaking of a great
many propeller shafts at sea.
"There are different ways of stop
ming vibrations, and one of the most
curious is to set up counter tremor in
the opposite direction. One neutralizes
tbe other."-New Orleans Times-Demo-

The commissioners recommend a rea.

clearer definition of the amount of personal

zati n OF the purchase of the public leans

The proposition to adopt an even rate
OF taxation for banks without exemptions is
not approved on the ground that to enable

5 per cent interest dividends they must
have the advantage of all the exemptions

The kindergarten.

A large number of interested friends
gathered in the kindergarten room De-
cember IA. 1t always makes one feel
that they have had glimpse Of heaven to
spend the morning with Miss Dascomb and
her little people, but special exercises had
been prepared for this, their closing day. A
quiet talk to the children by Miss Dsscomb
about the Christ-child was followed by a
pretty motion song with Miss Nellie Davis
at the piano. They also gave Christmas
hymn which they had learned to sing to
their friends.
1t was pleasant Illustration of the prin-
ciples they are taught, IN giving and re-
ceiving pleasure, when the children of the
sixth grade from the room below marched
up and arranged themselves in order
around the room and after listening to the
kindergarten children, sang to them. Then
the visitors were shown how even in their
games thought is used and the baby mind
taught to act. Mrs. Hammatt was asked
to talk to the children and that she has
rare tact in reaching the child's mind was
shown by their rapt attention while she told
them beautiful stories of children who were
kind and thoughtful for others. 1t was
picture for an artist to see their eager
faces upturned to hers, which was full Of
love and sympathy for them.
A noticeable feature as one entered the
room was prettiy decorated tree, and it
was happy time for the little ones when
they took the gifts their own tiny fingers
had fashioned and bestowed them upon
their parents, pretty little baskets for
mamma and blotter for papa. One could
but feel sorry for the few who had no one
there to receive what they had prepared.
The men who lett their business for time
must have felt amply repaid and have taken
up the burden again with new courage.
Not until the buds begin to swell in the
spring will the class come together again !;
but through the long winter there will be
resources for these children who have been
trained. All honor to the man who dis
covered there could be education in the
nursery as we'll as in college halls and to
the many who have in following bis teach
ings proven "Of such is the kingdom of
Heaven"

The Happy Ass.

The chief beauty Of the following
poem Is that it Is both rhyme and
blank verse-rhyme according to the
spelling and blank verse according to
the pronunciation:
Through twilight's gold heard the wild ass bray
His love song, which resounded o'er the quay,
While he, well knowing that for Joy he should
Cayort in glee, kicked up the messy mould,
And with the energy Of lusty youth
Once more let off his everlasting mouth,
Which set on edge two polka dotted calves
Until they, too, oped wide their safety valves
And fed like me. and few like the wolf
Or cen the hit ball in the game Of golf.

FIDELITY TO BE OBSERVED.
Secretary Hay is determined that the
State Department shall observe with
the most scrupulous fidelity whatever
obligations may rest upon it toward
Nicaragua and Costa Rica, in the
matter of the construction OF the Mic
araSua canal. 1t has not been posi-
Die to move In that matter pending the

ton-Bulwer treaty. There has not been
the slightest disposition to ignore the
governments Of our sister republics in
the matter. but in the view of the
department 1T would not have been safe
nor digntfied to make overtures to them
nefcre the United States had acquired
che power to deal with free hand
with the canal problem so far as Great
Britain was concerned. Now. how
ever, the department Will address itself
TO the government of Nicaragua and
Costa Rica looking to abe requirement
or whatever privileges are deemed es-
sential to the construction OF the canal
and Its operation.
CONSENT OF OTHER POWERS.
About the same time. or rather as
soon as the Senate shall have ratified
the treaty and the ratification shall
have been exchanged, the department
Will address identical notes to the great
maritime powers of the whole world
to secure their adhesion to the project
for the perpetual naturalization of the
canal.
