The Age Of Lead.

We are wont to speak of this era
IS the "age of iron," and there is no
gainsaying that, industrially speak
ing, iron is precious metal"
Nevertheless, few people realize
how useful, if not absolutely neces-
sary, to modern civilization, is that
other metal, lead. Soft, yielding,
pliable, it is not much like its sister
metal, but those distinguishing quail
ties are wnatSgiye it such prominent
place in the arts and industries.
Modern plumbing, requiring many
turnings and twistings, but withal
tight joints, would be almost impos-
sib!e without lead pipe. The great
est civilizing agent in the world-the
printing arts absolutely dependent
on lead. Hand-set type, linotype
"slugs," monotype type - all are
made of compositions Of which lead
is the chief component-to say Moth
ing CT the bearings in the presses as
well as all other kinds Of machinery
in which "babbitt" metal is used.
Solder. is another lead product
what a field of usefulness that one
form opens UP.
Then there is the most important
use Of all to which lead Is put-paint,
that necessary material which keeps
our houses looking pretty - inside
and out-and preserves them from
decay.
How many of us thank metallic lead
for the comforts OF paint? Yet the
best house paint is nothing but me-
talic lead corroded by acid to white
powder known as white lead" OF
course, there are many limitations OF
white Lead" some of which are sold
as white lead and some which are
offered by the name of ready-pre-
pared paint under the familiar pre-
tense that they are 'just as good" as
white lead. But all good paint Is
made of the metal, lead, corroded and
ground to a fine white powder and
mixed with linseed oil.
White lead is also used in the coat
ing Of fine oil cloths and for many,
purposes besides paint.
"Red lead" is another product OF
metallic lead and is what Is known as.
an oxide of lead, being produced by
burning the metal. Red lead Is the
best paint known to preserve iron,
steel or tin, and is used largely in
painting metal structures, such as
skyscraper skeletons, mills and
bridges.
There are many Other products OF
the metal lead, such as itharge,
orange mineral, etc., which are es-!
sential > many of the arts In which
we never imagine that lead would be-
of the least use.
Verify, we live in an age Of lead
as well as OF iron. ' -

What "Makes" a Man.

The college that famous man had
been graduated from is very likely to
claim all the credit for his distin-
. guished character and achievements.
A portrait Of the late John Hay was
presented to Brown University this
week, and, according to the orator CT
the occasion, the Brown of fifty years
ago must be awarded no end Of glory
for having had the young Ea>y as a
student and having given to him It's
diploma. If the colleges of fifty years
ago were such inefficien. places OF
learning and mind training Us Charles
Francis Adams avows them to have
been, a difficult problem arises IN
awarding to them just the proper
amount of credit for their celebrated
alumni. But however good or bad a
college may be at certain time, It
is sure to turn out some one who
makes more or less of an impression
upon the world in his after life. DID
the college make" him? It is to be
feared that some Of the credit for a
great career must be awarded to the
mans grandfathers, grandmothers,
and even his father and mother, then
a little more to his training at home
in the early plastic period down
through adolescence, and still a little
mere to the other schools that helped
to develop him, and finally a good
round bit 70 the never-ending drill
that he acquired away from books in
the hlrly-burley Of life itself. What
credit is left may be awarded to the
modest institution where the great
man spent four short years out Of his
sixty or seventy. Really, this is not
detracting from the credit due to
college for a great alumnus; it is
merely a protest against the college
taking all, as so often happens on
commencement day, and at alumni
diners.-Springfeld Republican.

"Since using Grape-Nuts alone for

STRANGE Ideas of the Chinese.

, A traveller in the Celestial King
dom says that in China many hun
<dred people live their lives on ooats'
Among them there is strange Idea
that a boat must have an eye painted
on its bow in order to see its way
through the water. An Enslisnman
travelling in China once sat In the
front of a small boat with his teet
hanging over the painted eye. The
owner became very much excited and
begged the traveller not to cover the
eve of the boat, as it must see its
way. When the first railroad was
built through China the native work
ers wanted to paint an eye on the
front of the locomotive. They regard
ed it, as dangerous to have so fierce
an appearing thing tearing It's way
through the country without an eye
to guide its course.

District Attorney Bell said he would

BLACKLISTING is LEGAL
According to Decision Rendered by a
United States Commissioner in
AIabama--Interesting Matter.

A decision of great interest and i'm
portance was made recently by United
States Commissioner John A. Elmore,
at Montgomery, Ala, where he dis
charged Frank Young of the Louisville
and Nashville railroad, who, it was
charged, had violated the law Of the
United States in refusing to hire mem
bers of the Order of Railway Teiegra.
pliers until they had repudiated the
order. Commissioner Elmore held that
the law was in conflict with the con
stiturion Of the United States. It is
possible that the test of the law will
he carried to a higher court.
The charge made against Mr.. Young
was that on hiring 3: A. Nesmith as
a telegraph operator Mr.. Young re-
CURED of him that he sign a written
agreement not to become member Of
the Order of Railway Telegraphers
This was declared by the plaintiff in
this case, the United States, to be in
violation Of the act approved June l,
1895, which seeks to forbid the making
of any condition as necessary to the
employment of any one by common
carriers acting under the direction OF
the interstate commerce commission.
It was, in effect, argued by the at
torney of the United States that Mr.
Young had teen guilty of blackmail
ing, that he was debating the condi.
tons under which a man could be
employed in the service of the Louis
Vile and Nashville railroad, and die
tating in violation of an act Of con-
gress.
Commissioner Emore declined to
accept this view of the case. He held
tnat the act under which the charge
was brought was unconstitutional. 1t
was his opinion that in the passage
of the law congress invaded the rights
accorded the individual under the con-
stitution. MIR. Young was, therefore,
discharged.

Lincoln People Give Enthus-
iastiC Welcome.
RECORD D-BREAKER CROWD
Republicans and Democrats Vie With
Each Other in Doing Honor to
Their FelIow-T Townsman-A
Memorable Occasion.

William Jennings Bryan returned
Wednesday evening to his Lincoln
home, and the home folks" welcom-
ed him with every evidence Of ap-
proval and satisfaction. 1t was neigh
borly welcome, planned, as such and
carried out in its entirety with that
understanding. Lincoln has more re-
publicans than democrats, and Bryan
has in the past spontaneously ex-
pressed the belief that it would be
a task to reform the city politically,
but on this occasion there was no
line of partisan division and the well
come extended to both Mr.. and Mrs.
Bryan was sincere and open-handed.
Everybody showed good nature; no.
body wanted to quarrel about politics
and nearly the whole population show
ed that it was genuinely glad that so
well known a man as MIR. Bryan lives
in the city.
It is doubtful whether Lincoln ever
held larger crowd. The weather,
barring the heat, was as nearly per-
feet as could be. It was half-holiday
in the city and every train which
brought not only Nebraska people, bu1
many from nearby states was crowd.
ed The city was handsomely deco
rated for the home coming, the fronts
CT business houses being a mass Of
flags and bunting, while in the resi-
dence districts Autographs Of Bryan
in the windows, together with the ma
tional colors were everywhere seen.
The non-partisan nature Of the recep-
ton was emphasized in every way
possible.
The Bryan train arrived at the Bur.
lilgton station shortly after o'clock
p. IN. Two hours before that the
crowd began assembling and was
packed around the station, on the
platforms Of freight and express
buildings and on the sidewalks and
in the street sfor nearly half block
away There was roar of welcome
as the train rolled in and Mr.. Bryan
appeared On the platform. In the par,
ty, aside from Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan
and their daughter, Grace, was the
Lincoln delegation, which left the
city over a week ago to meet him at
New York, and which Mr.. Bryan ac-
companied on it's homeward trip, to-
gether with few Of the Nebraska
democratic mayors, who also went to
New York. g.
Mr. Bryan's only expression as he
looked down on the multitude of faces
was: Great Scott! what crowd" |"
In the afternoon exercises were held
on the capitol grounds It is estimated
that $4,000 people listened to the ad-
dresses of welcome and a felicitous
speech by Bryan. :
Following his speech: Mr. Bryan
shook hands with the thousands who
passed before him. A display. of
fireworks ended the exercises. ;, =
