Lot Something Good BE Said.
When over the fair fame of friend OF
foe
The shadow of disgrace shall fall;
instead
OF words Of blame, or proof of thus
and 90,
Let something good be said.
Forget not that no fellow being yet
May fall 50 low but love may lift his
head;
Even the cheek Of shame with tears is
wet,
II something good be said.
No generous heart may vainly turn
aside
In ways Of sympathy; no soul so dead
But may awaken strong and glorifled,
If something good be said.
And so l charge ye, by tho thorny
And BY the eros. on which the Savior

And by your own souls hope of fair re-
nown,

sheep-shearing by Machinery.

The strengthening experiment that
is being tried in Sycamore. Ill, is prov
ing successful, says the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat. A gasoline engine OF
four horsepower runs ten clippers,
which shear on an average 1000 sheep
day. One of the advantages of the
experiment is that about half pound
more wool is realized from each sheep.
The test will be given to $4,000 sheep.
The sheep are sheared, the wool tied
and packed in large sacks holding sew
eral hundred pounds each and ready
for shipment at once. The success met
with in this experiment will revolu-
tionize the strengthening business.

A Performance in Texas brought to
Sudden End by an Unexpected
!. Denomination.

An actor tells Of tragic experience
he had recently while playing to an
audience in a little town in southern,
Texas, reports the Pittsburgh Dis
patch. In one Of the scenes of the
play, in which he acts the villain, he
hides himself in barrel, that he may
listen to a conversation between the
hero and heroine, whose future we'll
being he is trying to destroy. In the
town hall there was little Ii any prop
erty material. A barrel would do to
conceal himself in, SO "hired hand"
was sent out to and one. He succeeded.
Tho time came for the actor to do his
part. He slipped in the barrel with
ease. The man and the woman APP
peared, and whae they were in the
midst of an animated conversation
there came howl from the barrel that
fairly shook the rafters. This was fol-
lowed by the eavesdropper crawling
out with his hands to his face, and
he in turn was followed by swarm of
wasps. The wasps got among the stage
people and then among the audience,
which created SO much CONFUSION that
the show was broken up.

The Vulcan Company.

Joseph Seigel, manager of the Vul-
can copper mines, returned from
Reno last Thursday and left for the
mines Friday. The reports from the
Parrot mine continue to be most
cheerful, and development work is
being vigorously and Systematically
prosecuted. About 40 men are EN-
ployed and a gasolene hoist is being
put in.
Mr.. Seigel, on behalf of hi. com
pany, has secured bond on the coal
mines of VIM. Grozinger and w. A.
Ingalls,, and will at once begin devel-
oping them. These mines will prove
valuable acquisition to the Vulcan
Company, as they are but 25 miles
from the smelter, and will reduce the
cost of coke to minimum.
1t is almost certain that the G. & c..
R. R. Co. will put ia spur from
Luning to the Parrot mine, thus af-
fording cheap transportation for un-
limited quantities of ore.

to make report periodically to the

SAMOAN LIFE.

Easy ana Agreeable
Time.

When native Samoans are not at war
they seem 10 foreigners TO have very
easy and agreeable lie. There is never
very much to do. aud what there is is
not arduous or firing. The old women.
for instance, braid mats or sit upon
the rocks and beat and strip the bark
for making tspa, the native cloth. The
men spend much of their time in MAX
ing fishing nets and tackle.
In spite of the simplicity of the ma
tional attire, the Samoans are rather
vain, and spend good deal OF time in
identifying themselves. The hair is
often plastered with white lime, giving
it, when dry, the effect of a white wig.
The lime is washed off by night. The
result is gradual change in the color
of the hair from a red to a bright yell
low. Apart from this strange fancy,
the Samoans quite share the Euro
peans' ideas in regard to beauty. They
particularly admire tall persons.
A fad of the young man of Samoa is
to wear the name of his sweetheart
tattooed upon the forearm. AS the
Samoan wears no sleeves this ornament
is always visible, and he is very proud
OF it, which is easily understood, as the
young lady herself always does the
tattooing, it being impossible to in
trust to professional workman task
so full of sentiment.

Senator Cafferv is having erected

INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION.

The wave of industrial education
which is sweeping throughout the
South, possesses as much interest 0
Texas and Louisiana, If not more so,
than it does to any other part OF the
country south, born of a necessity
for industrial institutions. Natural
evolution in the course of time might
educate the minds and the hands OF
the porducing class so that manufact-
uring enterprises would follow as a
natural sequence. The demands OF
commerce and of trade coupled to
the competition which is going on be-
tween ourselves and our neighbors on
either hand, make it necessary to
anticipate the possible results Of evo-
luton and by strenuously agitating
and moving in the right direction
create the facilities which are so much
needed.
The erection of industrial institu-
lions and their beneficent effect upon
the farmer and mechanic, has passed
the experimental stage, and the ex-
perience Of enterprising people e-se-
where has made it incumbent upon
the people of these States to act in q
like degree.
II we desire to teach the youth to
a proper consideration of bis sur
roundings and of the possibilities
contained in the product of the field
and forest, we must educate his mind
and his hands to that point when he
need no longer be dependent upon
the precepts or examples set by his
competitors in other States.
The prosperous nations of Europe
have long since realized that indus
trial education must be made a part
of national curriculum and as q re-
suit of paternal interest and the es-
tablishment of manual training
schools, the artisans and scientists of
England, Germany, France and ever
Japan have been enabled to Wrestle
with and overcome the agricultural
and manufacturing problems of The
day.
Another result Of the system has
been the constantly increasing man
featuring and individual wealth of
these countries. The United States
must accomplish this by stages and
thus Texas and Louisiana, both pos
sessing every advantage necessary,
must educate its growing population
in the direction indicated, for, no
matter how willing minds and hands
may b., without the proper and nee
cessary degree Of education, desire
availeth nothing and we fall behind
in the race for commercial aggran-
dizement.-Literary Bureau Sunset,
