who can still admire the beauties
of nature, in whose ear the voice
of youth sounds pleasantly, and
the laugh of children is as music,
who can enter into their pleasures
and share in their enjoyments
with a keen relish, perhaps, be-
cause they recall the memory of
by gone days. and who a travel
the down-hill road of life with
more hope for the future than e
greet for the past. For such a man
even old age has its pleasures, for
though at times the shadows of
the past may darken his spirits,
he has but to turn his thoughts to
the future to dispel them. How
vain aud empty appear to him all
honors and distinctions gained by
trafficipg with truth, justice aud
religion; how worthless that ac-
emulation which, while it cor
rupts and enervates the soil, can
not satisfy the heart, and which
he who has wasted his life in
gathering must leave behind; and
how idle and hollow that popular
applause in which the weak fana-
tic fancies he hears the voice of
God.

THE STATE UNIVERSITY.
Next Session Will Open September 9,
With a Probable Enrolment of
$500 Students.

1t should be a cause of graft
foation to every citizen of Mis-
souri, that the State University, at
Columbia, Is the most rapidly
growing institution of it's kind in
the federal union. The ENROLL
ment during the past session, ex-
elusive OF 246 entered in the Uni
versity extension courses, al
1892. Early last fall the Boston
Transcript gave the University of
Missouri second place in rapidity
of growth, and this a before the
opening of the Short Course in
Agriculture in Columbia, the en-
rollment which easily brought the
University to the first place. The
right of the University to claim
this was confirmed in November
by Professor Tombo, Registrar of
Columbia University in the City
of New York. After the Univer-
sity of Missouri other American
universities ranked as follows:
Indiana, Iowa, Dartsmouth, Kan
sas, Illinois, Chicago, Pennsylva-
mia, Ohio, Tufts College, Virginia,
Georgia, Boston, Wisconsin, Cor
nell. Nebraska, Michigan, Yale,
Columbia, Harvard and Minneso-
ia. There is hardly any doubt
that next year will see $500 stu
dents or more enrolled in t h e
different Departments of the Uni
versity of Missouri.
While the income of a number
of universities is greater in the
aggregate than that of the State
University, the income per student
at Missouri is only exceeded by
that oftwo similar institutions, the
Universities of Illinois and Wis
consin. In the present biennial
period the University will be able,
through the generosity of the
State and Federal governments,
to spend annually in the higher
education of the young men and
women of Missouri the sum of
$3.50, 600, the equivalent of the in
terest at 5 per cent on an endow-
ment fund of $11, 900, 900.
The time is past when any Mis-
souri, boy or girl need turn from
their native State for educational
advantages. The development of
the system of public schools, ex-
tending from the kindergarten at
the bottom through thu grade
schools and high school to the
University, has taken place in
Missouri as in few other American
commonwealth and has brought
the priceless boon of learning
within the reach of the humblest
as we'll as of the most we'll to do.
Missouri can now offer education
al opportunities equal to those of
any State and far superior to
most of her sister commemorative.

SATURDAY EVENING REvERIEs.

AS we are alone with our
thoughts this Saturday evening,
our mind recalls many ad mirable
actions that are overlooked by
many of us because they are so
little and common. Take, for
instance, the mother, who has
broken slumber, if any at all, with
the nursing babe, whose wants
must not be disregarded; she
would fain sleep awhile when the
breakfast hour comes, but faith
fully and uncomplainingly she
takes her timely seat at the table.
Though exhausted and weary,
she serves them all with a re-
freshing cup of coffee or tea be-
fore she sips it herself, and often
the cup is handed back to her to
be rcfilled before she has had time
to taste her own Do you hear her
complain-this weary mother
that her reakfast is cold before
she has time to eat it? And this
is not for one, but for every morn
ing perhaps, in the year. Do you
call this a small thing? Try it
and see. Oh, how does woman
shame US by her orebearance and
fortitude in what are called little
things! All, it is these little
things which are tests of charac-
ter; it is by these "little" self de-
mails, born with such self-forgot-
ten eentleness, that the humblest
home is made beautiful to the
eyes of angels, though we may
fail to see it, alas, until the chair is
vacant, and the hand which kept
in motion all this domestic ma
chinery is powerless and cold.

Many a child goes astray, not
because there is a want of PRAYER
or virtue at home, but simply be-
cause home lacks sunshine. A
child needs smiles as much as
flowers need sunbeams. Children
look little beyond the present
moment. If a thing pleases,
they are apt to seek it; if it dis
pleases, they are prone to
avoid it. If home is the place
where faces are sour and words
harsh, and fault finding is ever in
the ascendant, they will spend as
many hours as possible elsewhere.
Let every father and mother, then,
try to be happy. Let them look
happy. Let them talk to their
children, especially the little ones,
IN such a way as to make them
happy.

servile tool of Wall Street and
everything in American politics
which that term implies.
He had a magnificent opportuni-
ty to crown his career with useful
service, he sold it for the pitiful
reward which he reaped from his
employees. In the history of his
country he will never take even a
respectable place, for he did the
objectionable thing. He sold his
own honor and betrayed his own
party. The golden chain which
in those last four years bound him
to Wall Street. will in the future
be known for what it was-the
shameful badge of degraded SER
vitude.
The Republicans are proud of
Roosevelt, the strong armed and
high-shouldered champion. The
Democrats are ashamed Of the
only man they have been able TO
elect in more than half a century.

THE LEAD PENCIL.
its Development From the Markers
Used by the Ancients.

tks OcNctopmcnt from inc WaFSefo
Used by the Aneients.
IL Is difficult TO determine the exact
period I'm which "black lead was firs<
utilized as an Instrument for writing
or drawing. as II has been confused
with other mineral bodies TO which Il
bears 10 relation. The ancients used
lead. but the metal was formed into
Hat plates and the edges OF these plates
used to make the mark. II an orna-
mental design was desired. the tran
scriber drew parallel lines and traced
therein Illuminated designs. usually
with hard point. but also with soft
lead. That lead was known TO the an
clients is also proved by the fact that
1t is mentioned In the book OF Job.
During the year 1915 there was a de-
scription OF the black lead pencil writ
ten by Conrad Gesner. He says that
pieces OF plumbago were fastened In a
wooden handle and mixture of fossil
substance. sometimes covered with
wood, was used for writing and draw
ing. About half century later n very
good account of this mineral was Civ

We are informed in Beckman's His
tory of Inventions" that the pencils
first used in Italy for drawing were
composed of n mixture OF lead and tin.
nothing more than pewter. This pen
Gil was called Il stile. Michael Angelo
mentions this stile. and, I'm fact. il
seems that such pencils were long used
In common over the whole continent
of Europe. At this period the name
plumbago or graphite was not in use,
but instead the name molybdena or
molybdoids, which is now applied to
an entirely different mineral.
Graphite or black lead is formed In
the primary rocks. In the United
States ii occurs i'm feldSpar and quartz.
In Great Britain in greensboro rock
and gneiSs and i'm Norway In quartz.
The mine at Borrowdale. England. has
supplied some Of the finest black lead
in the world, but the quantity varies
owing TO the irregularity with which
the mineral occurs.
The Jews We're for awhile the only
manufacturers OF pencils. 1t required
great skill TO perfect the manufacture,
according TO the degree OF hardness or
softness required. OF recent years the
manufacture OF pencils has increased
to such an extent that the price OF
these articles has decreased proper
tionately. Graphite and pure clay are
combined and used in the manufacture
or artificial black lead pencils, and. on
the other hand, the greatest perfection
is attained in the making OF the higher
class pencils. Graphite Is exposed to
heat TO acquire firmness and brilliancy
Of color. Sulphur is also used TO secure
a more perfect color.-Scientifc Amer
