brought out by Miss jYendes,
which it were well for

teacher m the counter jto
every
hear,
wan that -the way to get a bet.
ter rnlary (which most teach
ers should h-ive) is to put the
whole powers which) one
possesses into the wpfCat any
price accepted as wages. The
teacher who measures the
work by the vagesjr6ciived is
probably fully paid cr j even
overpaid. But the teacher
whose soul is , in the work
can't be dispensed with and
employers will, not jreadily
lose such services on account
of a few dollars in salary.
This occasion was intended
chiefly as an opportunity to
become acquainted and the
time spent was more
social than formal; but ! Miss

Ona of the late
i . .
and , most
science is
striking triumphs of
that of reducing air to a liquid
state.
We have no idea how it is
accomplished, indeed, the late pro-
cess is patented, we belive.
The liquid has the color of water
with a! very slight tinge of blue.
Its temperature is 300 degrees
below zero and one gallon is said
to be equal to a ton of ice. A
rubber ball submerged in it
quickly become brittle as chalk.
Ice also becooies white and
crumbling like j. gum camphor.
The ice is two and a I half times
as hot to this liquid as steam is
to ice. I '
Good tempered steel submerged
in it can be nappel off like glas.
You can no more (hold your
finger in it than von ban in hot
water.
To drop it into a glass
is to break the glass as
vessel
i
surely as to pour hot -water into
it. You may have your coffee
boiling On the stove and pour in!
this liquid like pouring in water
to settle it nnd ypur coffee is ice.
Mercury freezes in it in a minute.
Alcohol crystalizes on being
poured on it.
The
rapidly
liquid evaporates very
when exposed to the air
but you dare not attempt to con-
ine it in a vessel as you do some
chKnicals or it! will
blow you
is put in
higher than a kite. It
ve8selsland something like lint
cotton is laid over lit which
instantly freezes and- becomes
the only safestopper.
It may be mauipulated for
explosive purposes and is said
to have a power 6f2,000 pounds
to the square inch arid a force
100 times tnat of steam.
Its utility is yet a j matter of
speculation but it is believed to
be capable of utilizing aa a sub
stitute for eteam nd electricity as
u mecoanicai power. 1
It is believed that no j vei y dis
tant generation will be enjoying
homes made as cool as j they are
wanted in the summer, and, m the
winter, tjiia. wonderful agent can
be .made to run j. a dynamo that
will, by the4psQ.of electric radia-
tors, warm up thejhomes without
the use of fuel.
It is claimed that a gallon of
nearly"118 liquid chemically mani
pulated for explosive purpose is
equal to $100 worth of dynamite
or nitra glycerine, j j
This frigid fluid ; formerly cost
about $6 per gallon but by the new
patent prqeesaani be produced
for ten cents per gallon, j
It remains to be seen! whether
the claims for this invention are
exaggerated or whether hhe half
has not yet been toid: but enough
is fully, demonstrated to . rank this
among thd Jowering mpnuments!
iTOM genius in the closing
annals of the nineteenth j century.

Great Britain Oar Best Customer.
Great Britain continues to be our
beat customer. In the year endme
December 13, 1898, we sold to the
United Kingdom $538,661,787 of
exports, against $482,695,0241 in
1897. whiie we boHghJ- of .that
country directly! but $111,361,617 of
r.'lf9 002.28 worth
in 1897. We hUe eold our English
ousind four times as much as we
bought from thin. Tbe hnlano.
wa3 settled largely, of course, by our
purchases from' countries to which
England exports more than we do.
England takes of ua mostly wheat,
lard, cotton, corn, leather, hams,
bee copper: and other unmanufac
tured articles. We bought from her
chuff worsted and woollen goode,
wool, cotton; goods, jute goods, linen
goods, tin plates, earthware, alkali,
bleaching materials and hardware.
While we do not buy of England as
much as we sell her, still) we buy of
her more than we buy of any other
country, and we take from her a
larger proportion of our imports
than any other foreign conntry
(uot a colony) takes. -Baltimore

Count D'Altemw, in the Spanish
Tones, Monday j denounced practi
cally all the generals that com
manded Spanish treops in Cuba and
seemed outraged ; that five months
had elapsed since the war and not
a General hid been courtsmartiaied
nd shot. Any veteran knows what
ie tbe matter with the Count. He
was never under the American or
even the Cuban .fire himeelf. The
American soldier administers the
best pf pills for such livers.
as thia is tne anniversary of the
birth of George Washington, it may
not be uninteresting to note that on
December J.4th, of this year, our
hero will have slenc in daath innt

since the patriarchrl days he nrght
be in thenidst of active life today
on his 167ch birthday when we
could get from, his ,own mind the
coansels of a rather, meeting the
situation of today, instead of the
