some soul sensitive on the question of
social equality to the extent that the

Not long ago the Nashville Choral

Ryman Auditorium, for the benefit Of
a white Methodist church. In the
original agreement the Negro patrons

SOME HEROES.

llrrniSn ,l,"S not wear quite lhe same style "r garments as il did when knighthuud was in flow CT, but perhaps lhcr" is just as much of il as there was then and 1t IS just as genuine. The man who works on a modern steel structure is hero, after d fash ion. His daring deeds arc some what humble. but not more hum- lie than were those of the arch cr and pikcSman in uld-time wars who met death incnnSpicuOusly while the armorcd knight was prancing around the field on his mcttleSOmc stecu. IL has always been the saudily displayed heroes who obtained the prizes and the rewards in wealth and fame.
 The industrial processes of our lime are, upon the whole, as per Ilous as warfare and il requires as much courage to carry them nn as it did of yorc to march against the foe on the stricken field. RailrOading is a singularly dangerous occupation, but per haps not more so than log driv- ing, or even mining. As the ma chimes We use grow more cOm- 3licated and powerful, death 1urks in all sorts of new re- treats r6ady to bounce out up on the unwary and not infre- quently upon the wary, too. Peo- pie who tell Us that the cessation of warfare will destroy manly rigor and courage do not know what they are talking about. Peace demands more courage nowadays than war did in the days of Charles the Bold.

HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF.

IL Is curious circumstance that many foreigners after they have resided in the United States for a certain number of years experience q longing ln change their names. This used to be the ease even with the Irish who were not Sn proud of the pairO- nymicS and their race fifty years ago as they are now. In those days Irish cnIirraniS were look cd down upon by the Puritan and Cavalier stock among whom fate had brought them to dwell and they sought as soon as they de- gently could i0 hide their origin under all anglicisr,l anne. Thus the DPurIy'S were transformed into the Anglo -SayoniZrd PurdyS. Other names were more serious ly mudiii"d. some were dropped altogether and English sounding titles Scl''clrd at random in their places. Patrick O'SuIlivan made himself over into Jim SmiilI and did mol improve himself always by tn" change. but un doubt h" found q certain Snrial ahNanIaG" in il.
 The GrrIiIHuS and NurW"giauS who were Iurking in ll" lniIrd States in ih"sr days did the same thing. alIliuIIgh lu q less extent tfIau h" Irish. Al present none of these naliunalilirs would dream of dropping or altering the names they bring with them from Inc old countries They have be- come titles of honor instead of badges of Srrviluhc, and they are proudly worn and preserved.
 Hut il iS otherwise with Ilc natiOnaliiics from southern Eu- rope and Western Asia who arc coming to our shores in these latter times. The Irish and Ger mans have asccnhcd from scr- vile tOil tO politics, trade and the professions, and the Slovaks, Ar ncnians and Italians have talk cn their places in inc mines and on the railroads, sometimes un- der the most unhappy and de- graded conditions. When by any chance one of these men rises q little in the social scale he hast ems to forget his origin as quick ly as possible and naturally does all he can to make others for get it. That is mere human na- ture. Of course as long as he retains his foreign name more

New Water Finder.

The hazel twig as a water finder has
been s%upplanted by a remarkable in
vention consisting of a simple appara-
tus. The principle IN which the in
strument works Is the measuring of
the strength of electric currents which
flow between the earth and the atmos-
phere. These are always strongest in
the vicinity Of subterranean water
courses, the flowing waters Of which
arc charged with electricity to n GER
tain degree. The apparatus takes the
form Of a box shaped instrument fixed
on a tripod, with a dial on which a
needle is used to indicate the presence
of water. If the needle remains sta
tionary it may be taken for granted
that no subterranean spring exists,
The spot where the greatest move
ment Of the needle is obtained is that
where we'll boring operations should
be made.
