The Need Of Go0d HIgbzvays
By R. w. RICHARDSON,

The almost impossible condition of the public

which he graduated, locating in Chi.

very lucrative practice. He was elect

AGE OF IRON AND STEEL.

AGE OF IRON AND STEEL.
The Scientific American has
issued another special number,
this time devoted to the Iron and
and Steel industry Of the Uuited
States. Technically considered,
the number is one of the best of
the special issues which have SO
far been prepared BY the Scienti-
tic American. Each article bears
the stamp of absolute certainty
of fact-a certainty gained by a
personal examination of each OF
the plants described. Instead Of
giving a condensed account of a
large number of less important
works, the editors have wisely
adopted the plan Of selecting a
certain number of large indus
trial establishments, and of Civ
ing them a very thorough des-
cription. Among the more mo-
table articles of the issue may be
mentioned those on armor plate
and gun steel, structural shapes,
tube making chain making steel
and wire making, and rail maxi
ing. The number is dressed in a
handsome co1ored cover.

to train nursing for colored women
and at the same time getting colored
medical graduates and post graduate
training. He was physician to the Pro.
testant Orphans Asylum eight years,
surgeon of the Providential Hospital
six years. also surgeon in the Cook
County Hospital for six years; then
he was elected surgeon-in-chief OF. the
Freedman's Hospital at Washington.
D. c., for four years. While there he
reorganized it by uniting mod.
ern methods to the training
school for colored nurses.
He is at present professor OF operative
surgery in Maharay Medical College,
Nashville, Tenn. There are but few
men with such busy lives.
He is in constant demand at medical
associations and societies and his SUI
perior school and surgery especially
has distinguished him. This IS one
lesson Of what industry, energy and
education car, and has accomplished
in so short time. It surely demon
strates the capability of our race In
the higher sciences.

Again the cycle of time has brought

How have j lived? And what are the
results? These are serious questions
ami should be answered by us ali
1903 years ago Christ was born
whose natal day we commemorate
now, and God sent his only son into
this world that he might better man
kind and through him be saved;
therefore IL this was our lovely Saw
iGrs mission, what must be our m
sion on earth? The great answer
comes to us like the wailing wint.
from the North, East, SCUM and
West. Then we are not here fol

ulate vast sums Of filthy lucre, nor
to sit upon the stool to do nothing
but here for greater work then this

ize and revolutionize this sinful and
wicked world of ours. We are here
as ambassadors OF Christ to spread
the Christian religion and moraiit.
unto all the earth. We are to max
the world better by us having lived
In its countries. Nations should be
like individuals, seek to make mar
kind happy, then when we sit around
our well laden table we should know
that we have made some hearts light
err by our kindness. We should enjoy
this day that peace reigns more uni
versally than one year ago. let each
strive to do our Masters will more

ing more. Of the three already

delivered, having to read it as an
essay and the effect was not so
good as it would have otherwise
been. He is undoubtly a pro-

but his delivery is not up to the
standard. The next lecture of
note will be next Monday.evening
