To the men and women of a genera tion ajro, men and women who livet and struggled with him throughout the most tremetidoiiH Ntrugt,'lc that his tory records, it would Ite a 8ujt'rfluous task to call attention to the nobility if ohuraetor of hat peerlcs leader Hut those men mid women are passing 11 too mtiidlv. and a new iren- cration it "tlin;r their places. In the culture of this new Mu ni tion the study of no historic charact'T will prove more fruitful of lofty con ceptions of manhood, of inspiring devotion to duty, of visions of an in -ifmculntely pure life, than will the study of the character of Robert K. Ie. It is well that our State has made his birthday a holiday, and every school within its borders should on that day endeavor to implant in the minds of the young some lessons from that lieautiful life. We print below an extract from Captain C. H. Denson'a last public speech delivered before the Daughters of the Confederacy, of Raleigh. Mis subject was the "Life and Character and military career of Robert K. Lee." In speaking of Lee as a son, Captain Denson said: "Fatherless at eleven years, one of his elder brothers, Charles, a student in Harvard, and another, Sydney, an officer in the navy, with his sisters younger than himself, and his mother a helpless invalid, tne Doy rose 10 me occasion, and became In his extreme youth, the head of the household. As Mary Ball had moulded the character ana inspired we me or ner son, Geortre Washington, so Anne Carter lived again in Robert Lee. His devotion to the exquisite woman who was his mother was perfect. He was housekeeper and carried the keys; he manatred the business of the estab lishmenthe saw daily that the horses were cared for after school it was his happiness to fly to his mother, for her evening drive. His strength was ai ways wonderful, enduring inthe hard est of campaigns as a boy he was known to keep up with the hounds ill day on foot, at the hunt. So he was accustomed to carry the fragile form of his mother in his arms to the car riage, and arrange her cushion, and hang over her, anticipating every want, until she cried when the hour of his departure for West Point came, "What shall I do when Robert is crone? He is both son and daughter to tne.'! vhat more beautiful conception of the true relationship that should exist between son and mother can be shown than is here shown? What nobler ex ample of manly boyhood can be sug gested than is here suggested? Surely no boy could find a more magnificent type of manhood for imitation. PORTABLE IRRIGATOR. IaTeftloa That Shoald Prove Bn to All Oardoaera. Among recent Invention In garde-- ers' implement Is one worthy of spa- clal notice, says a writer In the Scien tific American. The Implement Is n portable Irrigator especially adapted for treating the roots of a plant with fer tillziug llijuid. The general shape of the irrigator is similar to that of a pitchfork, the tints and handle of which are hollow. A pls too Jsadupted to le operated witl. n TRIALS OK THE POLICE FORCE. Perhaps no body of men are , con fronted with greaterresponsibility titan are the members of the police force. This is so especially inour large cities where they have almost every form of vice and crime to contend with. In New York city the police force has been subjected to severe criticism recently. The rank and file of the force are splended fellows, but at "the top" rottenness has been found' In this connection it is interesting to not the Hartford Post's mention of Captain Miles O'Reilly and his work. He is one of the captains there who believes in enforcing the law to the let let, who does not allow his hands to become soiled with "graft" taken from : protected vice, and who has thus be come an ornament to the force. The Post says: Captain Miles O'Reilly has begun to i do things in (and to) the ' Tenderloin. He did wonders over in Brooklyn and was transferred to the Oak street sta tion in Manhattan, where he applied : the deodorizingprocess with fine effect. Sent up to the Tenderloin precinct by Commissioner Greene, Captain O -Itellly is now up against the toughest S reposition of his career. - In theTen erloin gilded vice of all forms and descriptions has stalked abroad. Here tofore it has been hit, but not badly ; hurt. Will the redoubtable Miles O'Reillv succeed in cleaning up the district? He has ambition, persistency, fearless ness and three-ply integrity, and he also has" a . record to maintain. He started in last night and raided a lot of joints. Between him and the concen trated and allied vice- of the Tender- 1 loin a pitched battle has begun. It will be a great contest. If O'Reilly i wins and succeeds in putting the Ten derloin' on a moral basis he will be do ing something that none of his prede cessors has ever been able to achieve. TIevertheless, if we were victims of the betting habit we should be inclined to wager a red apple or two on O'Reilly.

In operation the tines are burled tut the ground, with their lower ends it proximity to the roots to be treated The liquid can then be forced out in a fine spray at the point where It will do the most good. Antiquity of Appendicitis. M. Lannelungue, a Frenchman, claims to have discovered that cases of ap pendicitis existed in Egypt under the pharaohs. The Revue Sclentlflque Bays of the disease: "It has long been icon fused with peritonitis, typhlitis, lutes tlnal catarrh and with diseases of the liver, kidneys and ovaries. At the Trous seau hospital from 1885 to 1880 there werenoted 470 cases of peritonitis. From 1803 to 1800, In the same hospital, aft er appendicitis had become recognized, there were 443 cases of it about tbe same number. Appendicitis Is thus not any more frequent than In the days when it constituted a good part of the acute cases of peritonitis of unknown cause." HATHAMITE. i Wonders of the Latest aad He Pawerfnl Esplostve. The most powerful explosive know., In hathamlte, a recently discoverer substance which showed reuiarUp qualities under recent tests. IJ.'ii.- having (lie iintxlmuui of explosive pow er, this strange material, which Is ti. discovery (if G. M. Hathaway of Wvlis boro, Pit., Is the most difficult to 03 plode. says the New Vork World. To test It on this point the fultow!'. seemingly dangerous exixrimeiits wer tried without effect: Lighted matcher were thrown Into It. It was pounded to powder on a sledge. Shells y?r exploded near It. Rifle balls wire firtT Into It. Light percussion caps wore dlselinrged la It. To explode the material a heavy per cussion ran must be used, but tU'.u 1: detonates with terrific force. Some Of the tests of its explosive force were: A sniiill cliiiige of the mixture wa exploded upon a sheet of quarter Inch boiler plate. It cut a bole In the steel as cleanly lis a machine could do It. A small charge was exploded be tween two cakes of Ice. each weighing over l.'.o pounds. All that remained was a stun II pile of actual snow not finely crushed ice. In a second test on quarter Inch steel In the open air the plate was placed on a collar of steel. The steel wits cut clean over the collar. The collar, of the toughest steel and three Incite deep, was broken Into several pieces. About an ounce of hathamlte wai exploded In a regulation United State government one pound steel shell, and very thorough fragmentation of tilt shell occurred. The peculiar coughs which indicates croup, is usually well known to the mother of croupy children. No time should be lost fa the treatment of it, and for this purpose no medicine has received mors universal approval than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Do not waste valuable time in experiment in? with untried remedies, no matter how highly they may be recommended, but give this medicine directed and all symptoms of croup will quicklv disap i';r. For sale by J. E. Hood" Drug- An ingenious Instrument has been de vised by Professor William Hallock of Columbia university for use at the bo tanlcal gardens In Bronx park. The apparatus was suggested by Dr. D. T, Macdougal of the latter Institution and Is designed to secure a record of tern peratures In the soil. For this purpose an adaptation of the famous Richard recording mechanism has been effected, says a writer iti the New York Tribune, Around a small brass cylinder, rotat ed by clockwork on a vertical axis. Is wrapped a sheet of paper. The latter is first prepared by elaborate ruling. Horizontal lines on it represent degrees. while perpendicular divisions indicnte days and hours. Against this paper rests a pen, which rises and falls with cuanges or temperature, but never moves sideways. The movement of the cylinder at the rate of one whole ro tation a week causes the pen to leave a wavy trace on the paper. As in the Richard instruments, the Hallock "ther mograph" carries the pen on the end of a short, exceedingly light lever pivoted so as to yield to the slightest Impulse up or down. The method of communi cating this impulse to the lever from the soil Is original. The Richard ther mometers record the temperature of the air above ground and immediately sur rounding the apparatus. Professor Hal lock has found a way to keep the In strument In the same general positlou. but to actuate It from below the surface of the earth. Close to the lever which carries the pen and connected with it in such a way as to make it rise and fall In sym pathy is an electric metallic reservoir shaped like one tiny saucer inverted over another that is upright The In jection of a minute quantity of fluid from below Into this reservoir will lift Its top perceptibly and move the pen. From the middle of the reservoir tber extends downward a tube, which ter minates In a bulb containing kerosene. The tube Is long enough to allow the bulb to be burled In the ground. Vari ations In temperature cause a contrac tion or an expansion of the fluid exact ly as in a mercurial thermometer. As the tnbe and rvsewolr are also filled with kerosene, changes in the volume of the bulb create pressure or suction In the reservoir, whose top la that caused to move op and down, ' :," The bulb of the thermograph had at last accounts been tried at a depth of one foot Two kinds of tempera tort, fluctuation were observed. One, the regular diurnal rise and fall, ahowed a minimum between 8 a. m. and noon and a maximum between 8 p. m. and midnight The other oscillation faintly Indicated the passage of ordinary warm and cold waves. It is too toon, says Dr.-UacdongaL to tell much about the Influence of the temperature ob servations made In the soil upon plants, but several Interesting lines of inquiry are opened u NOVELTY IN WINDMILLS. Portable One Invented For Use on the Prairies. Instead of using animal power in driving the various machines which are used on a farm a western Inventor,, Mr. Amos Wallace, has conceived the idea of making the wind do bis farm work for him. Stationary wtndmlllg are common enough, but a portable windmill Is surely a novelty that mer its more than passing notice, and portable windmill it Is that Mr, Wal lace uses, says the Scientific American, The contrivance is mounted on a low, four wheeled wagon which can be, readily hauled to and from the1 '-field. On this wagon a stout framework Is erected at each end. The upright frameworks are provided with bearings to receive the shafts of wind wfceea It will be observed that the frame works are stiffened and securely sup? ported by a system or braces. Each wind wheel shaft carries sprocket, connected by a chain witfi small sprocket, journaled in a stand ard, which Is carried In the center the wagon. The central sprocket shaft Is, fitted, y ':! a pulley which receives a driving belt. Obviously the belt can be slipped over the pulley of any farto machine which is Intended to be driven. PUNY CHILDREN TOO MANY OF THEM DIE. Their Little Bodies Unable to Stand tne Ordeal of Development. ' 4 .; '. WE THINK EVERY MOTHER IN THIS TOWN SHOULD KNOW ABOUT VINOL It is the Delicious Tonic We Advise for Growing Children.. I your boy or girl pale and listless T Do they act differently from other children ? Do they sleep poorly and eat poorly ? Does your boy avoid the sports and games of other boys ? Does your girl complain of headache and find her studies a hardship ? If so, you may make up your mind thev are growing too fast. They need something to help nature In her great work of furnishing the necessary eler ments for creatine1 flesh and muscle tis sue, bone structure and rich, pure, red blood. They need a tonic in the full sense of the word and we can tell yon what to get It is Vinoi wine of Cod-L.lver Oil, the preat modern reconstructor. Children like it, it is so delicious to the taste, in spite of the fact that it contains a highly conceniratea extract 01 the dtcinai principles that are iound in cod-liver oil. But because the vile-smelling and tasting grease has been discarded and all of the other disagreeable features eliminated, the benefits of Vinol are easily understood. Vinol acts favorably on the stomach. creates an appetite and enables the food that is eaten to do the greatest . possible amount of good. , Following is a letter that bears dl reetlv on this subiect : " I was all run down and took VinoL It did me so much good and it was so pleasant to take, that I gave It to my children. They were growing fast and needed something is the way of a tonio and I found it to be just the thug for .them." SARAH riCKKBIXO, 1B38, Fall Eiver. Mass. We cordially invite mothers inter- ested in tne welfare of their children. as wen as any one else needing a sure, safe and delicious' tonic, rehnilder and retuvenatof, to call on us. We will gladly tell any one mil we know about Vinol and wny we bo highly endorse it. ' inasmuch as we are always ready'and pleased to refund tne cost of Vinol to k those who don't find it exactly what we claim it to be, it will be seen: that we are prepared to substantially endorse Or claims for the excellence of tala marvelous preparation, 7. ; J. E. HOOD,' Druggist Cnrloa Propeller. A steamship has recently been built; by an English firm drawing only elev en inches of water, yet having a pro peller two feet six inches In diameter. which revolves entirely under water when the vessel is in motion. The screw la placed in a humpbacked tunnel (that is, higher In the middle than at either end) in the after part of the bull, both ends being below the surface of the wa ter. Whui the vessel Is at rest, the screw lies in the tunnel, only the lower eleven Inches of It being In the water When it begins to revolve, however water is drawn in through the forwaru end of the tunnel, forces the air out and completely fills It and Is in turn forced out through the rear end of the tunnel which is below the water surface. In thla way a large screw is supplied with the necessary water to Work in, and a light draft Is made possible at the same time. Unbreakable Class. Glass that you cannot break, it is claimed by a European Inventor, may. be molded into any desirable form Lime and lead, that enter Into the man nfacfure of glass now In use. do not en ter into the composition, according to the inventor, but he refuses any other information about it With a gimlet of this glass a bole can be bored in a tough board, or a hole can be bored in a sane of glass and then patched with the new glass. Any kitchen utensil can be made of the material, and it does not crack with any amount of heat used In the ordinary processes of domestic lire. v v j '.,y. . A civil and mining engineer "of Strass- burg, Germany, has recently planned a new system of . waterworks for Apia which calls for little expense to oper ate it after once installed. 1 - i t A company has been capitalized at $40,000. The water Is to be pumped from a subterranean spring by means of water power obtained from the Tal- sigano rover, a turbine or overshot wheel being used for the purpose. In the event of a shortage of the supply of river water a traction steam engine will be utilized. ' . .This enri.is will ha nrmrMul with tone cruBbttr, water car and all annlt- mces for macadamizing roads, making roncrete, etc, and it Is the Intention of the company to rent It to the govern meet when not wanted for pumping purposes. Thus tne plant will not only run itself when once Installed, but the imergency engine will produce further income In improving the roads of the Island. ; IF YOU WANT A Pump Repaired or a;new one put down, or Awn ings put up, Or a Sign painted cal on me at BELL'S SHOPS, two blocks east of A. & N.
