WOMEN AS BLACKSMITHS.

One of the newest trades for
women is blacksmithing, and
Miss Esther Searle Of Cawker ci4y,
Kan. is the pioneer. She adopted
it in the way in which unusal occu-
pations generally are taken up-by
chance. Her father is blacksmith,
and has been assisted at the forge
by his son, and last summer, when
the young man was away on his
vacation Miss Searle thought that
the work was too much for her
father alone, so she went into the
forge and soon learned to WELD the
heavy hammer with ease and skill,
When her brother returned Miss
Searle found herself so interested
in her novel work that she con-
tinued to go to the smithy every
day for an hour or so She found

The Pan.American Circus.

The Pan American circus ex.
hibited here last Monday, giving
two performances, at 2 and 1880
p. m. Thousands of people were
on the streets at an early hour in
the morning and waited anxiously
til IL 80 to see the street parade
and despite the down pour of rain
a large throng witnessed both per-
formances. This circus as a whole
was a very up-to-date one and was
minus the many Objectionable
features which are usually circus
characteristics.

A GREAT GIFT.

"When Treasurer Logan stepped
to the platform at the Chapel on
Thursday evening of last week and
announced that Mr.. Andrew
Carnegie has presented Tuskegee
Institute with the magnificent sum
of 100000 toward the Endow-
ment Fund, a scene was enacted
that will live in the history of the
school. The great hall echoed
with the cheers of the happy stu
dents. The 'Tuskegee- rah- h-rah'
was given over and over with a
will, mingled with miscellaneous
college cries and yells, eliminating
in the chorus of 'C-a-r-n-e-g-i-e'
and a whirlwind of enthusiasm.
The officers and teachers were no
less delighted than the students,
even if less demonstrative. Led
by the chaplain, the entire as
semblage joined heartily in that
appropriate hymn, Praise God
from Whom All Blessings Flow.
1t was a great night for Tuskegee

The industrial department at
Lincoln is a humbug. During it's
ten years or more of existence it
has never turned out a mechanic.
Students are seated on the stage
every year and have their names
on the list of graduates and are
given a supposed diploma. Some
of whom have been in the school
less than year are paraded before
the public as graduates from the
Industrial school," Yet the in
dividual at the head of that
school draws $1,000 per year and
never attended an industrial
school. 1t is to be hoped that the
regents of that school will see to il
that this part of Lincoln Institute
is put into the hands of competent
instructors.

THIS MAN KNOWS WHISKY.

the misery it has made for my

never touched the stuff, and I've
made a VOW that l never will"
These are not the words of an
impassioncd temperance theorist.
They are the calm, deliberate
utterance of young man who
killed his drunken stepfather in
defense of his mother and was in
carcerated in a Cleveland police
station. A police lieutenant had
pressed a glass of whiskey upon
him, urging him that his weakened
condition demanded it. But he
knew whiskey and he had no use
for it.
Here is what might well be ac-
cepted as an expert opinion upon
the effects of whiskey.
This young man had had ex-
periences that have shown him
what whiskey will do. He does
not need to theorize. He speaks
with positive information.
But for whiskey he would not
have been in Jail.
Decidedly true. And equally
true it is that but for whiskey few
other people ever would be in Jail.
1t is not putting it too strongly TO
say that whiskey causes nine-tenths
of the crimes that get people in
Jail.
This young man has seen the
misery whiskey has made for his
mother.
And who cannot call up from
ones own recollection. dozens of
mothers whom whiskey has made
miserable?
Scarcely community or social
circle but has several-often good,
patient accomplishing heroines s
who have given up hope, and
whose desolated hearts are left to
feed on the agony of despair.
They bear the deprivations, the
neglect, the abuse, the blows, and
utter no moan but IN their hearts.
where there is moaning always.
The earth has been salted with
tears shed by mankind in sympathy
with the brave women who send
their husbands and sons to battle,
sitting alone at home with their
tears and fears, but such women are
happy, proud, exalted, compared
with the drunkard's wives, crouch
ing with tears and fears and shame,
while their husbands give their
lives up to the devil, Drink.
The bright, sweet hopes of their
bridal days have become mock
cry. The vows upon which they
staked their life happiness have
proved as light as air. The love
that once bade fair to be shelter
in every storm has been beaten
down and torn to ruin by. whirl-
winds of bestial passions.
There are millions OF women
like this.

young man, the brute whiskey

Yes, there is the truth. . . 1t makes
a man brute. He may be good
and kind and tender, when he is
sober, but whisky makes him a
brute. He may be provident and
thrifty when he is himself, but,
filled with whisky, he becomes an
entirely different class of being.

Two well known horsemen of Phil

their old favorites and the kindly
feeling they had toward them In not
working them too hard. but letting
them do as they liked in their old age.
The older of the horsemen said:
"One of my best horses was sent
out to Kansas to pass the rest of his
days quietly on a farm; the farmer
had barn stored with corn, which
took fire one cold afternoon and as
the heat was so intense 1t managed
TO pop the corn very quickly. which,
with the strong wind blowing at the
time. caused the corn to fly about in
all directions. The old mare stood

LAST OF HAMILTON TREES.
All That Is Left Of Them in Upper
Manhattan


II is safe to say that there isn't a
city in all the world where sentiment
counts for so little as 1t does In New
York, when IL comes to the preserya-
tion of historical objects. This is no
better illustrated than Convent ave-
nue.. between 142d and 143d streets.
At one time a fence surrounded the
little group of trees to protect them
from vandalism, and an inscription
told the stranger that they were
planted by Alexander Hamilton in
commemoration OF the thirteen orig
inal states. But eight of the trees
are now standing, only three of which
show any sign of life by putting forth
their scant foliage of fresh green.
This springs foliage will probably
be the last spring garb the historical
old gums will ever don, as building
has crept up close. only a few vacant
lots remain in which they are the
center. The building stones of the
Lady of Lourdes Church are scatter
ed all around. and even the trees
themselves which Hamilton set out
with such beautiful, patriotic senti.
ment, are covered. high as the sign
hanger could reach, with real estate

THE DISLIKE OF FRESH AIR.
Prejudiee Not Because Of Malaria,
But to Save Fuel.

The theory that the necessity OF ex-
Guiding from houses the injurious
night air is the cause the world over
OF the practice of poor ventilation
will not hold It is at least not the
sole nor the chief reason of the
prejudice against fresh air.
Manifestly il does not obtain for
countries in which there is no mos
ly in the winter season. the theory
has no applicability. and another ex-
PLANTATION must be found.
This is. we believe. the necessity
that exists. especially among the vast
majority of the poor, to economize
warmth. A large portion OF the peas
ants of France to-day secure this
economy by keeping their domestic
animals Mt night in the combined
house and stable.
In Arctic climates and in winter
even in temperate zones. and especial.
ly in previous centuries, the securing
of sufficient clothing and saving the
loss of warmth has doubtless been
chief cause of the universal fear OF
ventilation.
In this way to-day in some coun.
tries medical college lecture rooms
