John Esten Cooke on Lieut.. Gen. Gordon.


To the Editor of The Atlanta News
Among the many beautiful tributes
paid to our beloved Gordon none is
more beautiful than that of our GAL
liant John Esten Cooke, who, in his
thrilling romance, "Hilt to Hit"
(written in 1863, says:
II
"As I left Early's tent, met one
who was building up then great
fame-General Gordon.
"Gordon was q soldier born-from
head to foot, soldier. The penetrat-
ing glance, the proud head fanked by
long hair carried behind the ears, the
firm lips, the resolute chin, the COM
mandiDg carriage Of the whole person,
showed that he was born for leader
ship. His fame was late.growing
flower; but how dazzling was the
bloom when it camel Have you ever
seen the 'Giant-of Battle rose,' read
er? That superb, full disc, of flash
ing crimson, which Stuart so loved?
Here was the human 'giant-of battle
the man whose name was to eleotrify
the whole army, as it will electrify
the future; who, at Cedar Creek, the
Wilderness, all along the road to
Petersburg, at Rare's Hill, and in the
last charge at Appomattox, was TO
win fame, shining clear, among the
brightest in history.
II look back and remember meeting
many great men; among them few rise
in stature to the level Of Gordon. To
receive his modest and cordial salute,
with the friendly smile, charmed ME;
to press that hand that held the
sword-hilt with o grasp so heroic in
battle, was very great honor. I
thought so then; I think so more than
ever today.
"Health and happiness attend you,
Generall You tread already on the
shining heights Of history. Three
names today are greeted with strange
enthusiasm in the South. Those
names are Lee, Hampton and Gordon"
y
The meeting referred to occurred in
September, 1864, at Winchester. Va.

The Breathing OF Iron Into Steel.

Thirty nine years age, when the
Bessemer converter was invented, the
Age Of Steel began.
Perhaps no other one invention has
done so much to influence our civiliza-
tion as this Bessemer converter.
1t is great iron, brick lined vessel
iu which cast iron is made into steel.
From ten to fifteen tons Of molten cast
iron are poured into it, aud then from
two hundred little holes in the bot
tom of the vessel strong current Of
air is forced up into the mass Of liquid
metal.
AS the air rushes into the converter
it makes the iron almost twice as hot
as it was before. All the waste mat
ter is burned up. The silicon, su!
phur, curbon, etc., are destroyed by
the fierce heat, and nothing but steel
remains.
The great mass of molten metal
Kisses and roars like living thing in
pain the moment chat the air is pump
ed into it. Showers of sparks fly
from it's mouth. a column of white
f!e breaks from it, as if it were vol
cano in eruption.
Such is Bcssemer convertcr-the
fiercest and most strenuous Of all the
inventions Of man. 1t is simply a
blast furnace that breathes. Ono
long, deep breath and the iron is iron
no longer It is the Gnest ard best of
steel.
You can never forget how steel is
made i you remember this that you
ar, in certain sense Bessemer con
verter yourself. Whenever you take
deep breath, you are burning up the
waste matter in your body.
The air that you take into your
lungs is changing bad blood into good
blood. 1t burns up the poisonous
matter just as the air forced into the
converter burus up the silicon, sui
phur and carbon. There is more diff
ference between your blood before and
after it has been through the lungs
than there ia between the cast iron
and tho steel.
A Bessemer converter must have
plenty of air, and pure air. If the
air from some sweatsbop or basement
bakery were pumped into the convert
er the result would be very poor
quality of steel.
The tens Of thousands who die from
consumption aud pneumonia might
save their lives if they would remem-
5or ;haS their lungs are mado on the
same plan as Bessemer converter.
Nothing but plenty Of pure air can
make either good steel or healthy hu-
man beings.
Whether we are Ike cast iron or
like steel depends upun whether or
not we burn up the waste matter of
the body in the lung furnace. You
can easily test this by taking fifteen
or twenty long breaths of fresh air.
AT once you will feel warmer and
your head will be almost giddy with
the swift circulation Of new blood.
Sir Henry Bessemer, an English
man, is generally given credit for the
invention Of the converter. But
some authorities say that the real in
ventor was William Kelly, an iron
master, Of Lyons, Ky.
It is said that Kelly made the origi-
mai machine i: 1877, and that Besse-
mer heard of it from au English
workman in Kelly's employ. Besse-
mer did not make kno wn the invention
until 1864.
Kelly was unfortunate and became
q bankrupt When he died he was
comparatively poor, while Bessemer
uas made knight by the British
Government and became very wealthy.

Cleanliness not only adds to the ap-

q good impression on the mind of your
visitors, but is the greatest preventive
Of disease. II the yards and houses
are kept clean and pure, there will be
little trouble about disease; so before
the breeding season opens have the
houses and yards thoroughly renovoted
and disinfected. Remove. all the
dropping boards and nest boxes, have
them thoroughly cleaned and white
washed, and after the house is put In

Pools of stagnant watera should
not be allowed to exist where hens
can get to them; cover up, fill or frence

supply of nice, clear, sparkling water.
There is no fertilizer that varies so

variation is caused by the manner in
which the stuff is kept and the amount
Of litter it contains.
The spread of veterinary science

The Country Feeds the Town.

ern cities showed that 81 per cent. OF

of the commercial and professional
representative men Of Chicago showed
that IS per cent. were raised in the
country and rural villages. Seven
teen Of our % president come from

four colleges and seminaries showed
that the rural districts and villages are

than the town upon the rural districts
The leaders are quickly succeeded by
men from the country. They always
have been, they always will be. For
this there are two reasons. One Is
that the country air, food and exer-
else are essential to compact and

glorifed in strong thinking, are closely

THE REAL THING.

Less genuine tortoise shell is imported
IN New York from India now than there
has been for a great many years, owing to
the active efforts OF the jams. This, says
the New York Times, is an influential sect

throughout the empire. Their mission on
behalf Of the tortoise is much the same
as that of the Audubon societies in this
country with regard to birds. Great
cruelties, the Jams allege, are practiced
trying to stop it. A woman who had read
ABOUT this movement went into a Broad
way store and looked at some tortoise shell
combs.
But are they genuine?" she asked.
There are so many limitations in the
market now"
