A Story OF the Revolution by Mrs. sara

Amador ledger., 1901-07-05

According to William E. Curtis of
the Chicago Record-Herald Thomas
Jefferson was an inventor of considera-
BILE genius. He invented folding
chair, revolving chair, copying press
and hemp break. His most important
invention was a pillow. Mr.. Bacon, his
overseer, says: ale was very ingen-
1ous. He invented a pillow that was
considered great improvement on any
that had ever been used. He got a
great many premiums and medals for
it. He planned his own carriage, build
ings, garden and fences and a good
many other things. He was nearly al
ways busy upon some plan or model"
Jefferson's pillow received gold medal
in France in 1890.

National Gallery Tor Washington.

There is talk among artists and per-
sons interested in art of the establish
ment in Washington of an American
national gallery, which shall do for this
country what the National Gallery
does in London and the Louvre in
Paris. In spite of the fact that the
American capital is not the American
metropolis, Washington seems to be the
inevitable home of such a gallery when
it comes, and it is surely coming. The
present movement is credited by the
newspapers with the support of many
of the ablest American painters and
sculptors. A committee which has it
in charge includes in its membership
Sargent, Whistler, La Fargo, Dielman,
Alexander, Macmonnies and many
others. That there is great future for
art in America no one can doubt, but
due appreciation is still lacking in this
country for the work of our own men,
and the highest success in art does not
yet bring in this country rewards in
reputation or in money comparable to
those attainable in Europe. New York
still runs after foreign painters, some
what to the neglect of men as good and
in many cases better at home.

BRIEF REVIEW.
Our Vast Mineral Resources.

A chart published by the Geological
Survey gives summary of the mineral
products of the United States for the
past ten years. The aggregate values
have increased by more than one-half
in that period and the figures for 1899
are greater than in any previous year,
footing up the enormous total of $685.
100000. The value of the metallic prod
ucts of the year is given at $527, 21S, 1854
and of the non-metallic at $447, 100, 1862.
The latter class, includes, of course, the
coals-$16S, 100000 IN bituminous and
SSS, 100000 in Pennsylvania anthracite
1854, 800, 600 in petroleum, $4,000, 600
worth of natural gas and large value in
stone, brick clay and cement, with va
rious other minerals. Of the metals
our pig iron is worth almost as much as
all the others together, the value of the
product in 1899 being given at S245,-
100000. Copper comes next, with S104,-
100000, and the S71,0OO,O0O in gold
is third. The market value of the sill
yer produced in 1899 was about $685.
100000 and the lead and zinc together
were worth about as much. Quicksjl-
yer, aluminium. antimony, nickel and
platinum are the other metals that fig
ure in the table. -

Is there anything more cruel than
SANDER? If there is Polly would like
to know it. SANDER flies like the
winged arrow tipped with its deadly
poison. 1t is fleet as the wind and as
treacherous and wicked as sin. 1t scat
tiers its venom as it flies and sows it
broadcast just as the wind does the
down of the thistle. The slanderer is a
coward of the first water. He never
comes out openly and says what he has
to say, but throws out insinuations in
quarters to those who love the tooth
some morsel and will delight in passing
it with little addition to the unwhole-
some narrative. The slanderer is also a
falsitier. Truth has hidden her fair
face from him and he is reveling in the
joys of falseheod and deceit. With
them he is at home and in his element.
Every city, town and village has its
slanderer, more's the pity, and he turks
among the high and the low, the rich
and the poor.

Let me see: where did L get off my
train of thought? / remember, now.
1t was somewhere near the place where
you must put more sand ON the road
when you are at a standstill and the
wheels merely turn round and round.
An old friend says, cts not so much
sand you want, Polly, but pure grit.
Mix them-sand and grit, mean-and
you'll get there every time. Ive been
there" he goes on to say, land ! know
what I'm talking about. I've been
that low-spirited, discouraged and dis
gusted that L have actually been stand
ing on the ragged edge of nowhere. If
you know where that is Polly, it's
more than | do. But that's where
was-didn't know which way to move
Guess 1 depended little too much on
myself. Finally L would remember
that l had forgotten my Pilot, who
moves the universe. Then the wheels
| would begin to turn, and then would
come the supply of sand and grit that
1 needed, and the first thing 1 knew
had pulled out of the Gulf of Despair
and with the star of hope for headlight
and faith for brake to stop before 1
got to any such dangerous place again,
L was accomplishing all had set out
to do. I've got little verse [ can
quote that will express my sentiments
better than 1 can do, Polly, it's like this:
''If you strike some frigid weather, and discover
to your cost,
That you're liable to Slip on a heavy coat of
i frost.
Then some prompt decided action will be called
into demand,
And you'll slip way to the bottom if you haven't
any sand.''

that, and feel every word of it. Wish
could impress it on every boy and
girl and every man and woman, and

I'iI tell you what it is, boys and girls,
that makes the success in life-it's
sand-and it must be the right kind of
sand, too. Sand that is made up of en-
ergy and determination to succeed in
doing whatever you start out to accom-
plish in the face of all obstacles. This
sand will help you to tide over many a
rough place smoothly, and again if you
have found a place in life when the
wheels of perseverance have slipped so
many times from pure disappointment
that they just simply move round and
round III an aimless sort of fashion
without making any Roadway, throw
out little more sand, put on little
more steam, and you will be off like a
locomotive on well-sanded road and
heading straight for the goal of success.
Really, come to think about it, it is the
grown up folks who need this sand
more than the boys and girls. Youth,
although it slides from the top of hill
to the bottom, will climb, painting and
blowing, to the top of it, just for the
fun of sliding down again. They can
more readily bear the d1sappointments,
for they are only inst beginning the
ascent of the hill of life; but those who
have reached the top and are going
down the other side slowly but surely
and reaching out to grasp the prize
of success, when the wheels move round
and round aimlessly, making no head
way, they are the ones who want more
sand on the track of life that will ena-
BILE them to grasp the situation. Put
on more sand, throw off the breaks of
despair and hopelessness and you will
be very apt to glide into the station of
success. You may be sidetracked on
the road sometimes, but you will event
ually accomplish your purpose.
