Th^heedle, once an oppress ive tyrant, becomes a cheerful s la v e- roll and rumble and roar unto the fam­ily wardrobe Is gathered, and winter is 'defied,! and summer Is Welcomed, and the ardors and severities of the seasons are overcome; winding the boubtifc threading the shuttle, tucking, quilting, ruffling, cording, embroidering, under- braiding aet to'music; lock stitch, twist-, ed loop stitch, crocket stitch, a fasci­nating ingenuity.

No wonder that at some of the learn­ed Institutions, like the New Jersey State Normal school, and Rutgers Fe­male Institute, and Elmira Female col­lege, acquaintance with the: sewing ma­chine la a requisition, a young lady not being considered educated until she understands i t Winter is capita* on, and the household must be warmly clad. “The Last Rose of Summer” will sound better played on a sewing ma­chine than on a piano.

Secondly. I lookJpto the agricultural world to see the wheel !u£> ac­complished. Tiwtk a t the stalks of wheat and oats, the one bread for man, foe other breaxl for horses. Coat off and with a cradle made out o f five or rip ftngera-of wqod and one of sharp •teel the harvester went across foe field, stroke Sjftet stroke, perspiration rolling down forehead and cheek and chest, head blistered by foe consuming sun and Up parched by tbe merciless August air, a t noon the workmen lying half dead under the trees. One of my most painful boyhood memories is that of my father In harvest time reeling from exhaustion over the doorstep, too tired to eat, pale and fainting as he sat down. The grain brought tq the barn, the sheaves were unbound and spread on a thrashing floor, and two men with flails stood opposite each other, hour after hour and day after day, pounding the wheat out of the stalk. Two strokes, and then a cessa­tion of sound. Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump! Pounded once and then turned over to be pounded again, slow, very slow. The hens cackled and clacked by the door and picked up the loose grains and the horses half asleep and dozing over the mangers where the hay had been. ,

W h eel of th e Reaper.But bark to the buzz of wheels in

the- distance! The farmer has taken hJs throne on a reaper. He once walk­ed; now he rides; once worked with arm of flesh, now with arm of iron. B e starts at the end of the wbeatfield, heads hla horses to the opposite end of the field, rides on. At the stroke of his Iron chariot the gold of the grata Is surrendered, the machine rolling this way and rolling that, this way and that, until the work which would have been accomplished In many days is ac­complished in a few hours, the grata- fjeld prostrate before the harvesters.

Can you imagine anything more beautiful than the sea Island cotton 1 I take up the unmelted snow In my hsM . How beautiful i t tat But do you know by w hit painstaking and tedious toll It passed Into anything like practicality? If you examined that cotton, you would find it full of seeds. It was a severe process by which the seed - Was to be extracted from the fiber/ Vast populations were leaving the south because they could not make any living out of this produet. One pound of green seed cotton was all that a man could prepare In one day, but Ell Whitney, a Massachusetts Yankee, froke up, got a handful of cotton and 'Went to constructing a wheel for the p&rtlng of the fiberAnd the seed. „

Teeth on cylinders, brushes on cylin­ders, wheels on wheels. South Caro­lina gave him $50,000' for his Inven­tion, and, Instead of one man taking a whole day to prepare a pound of cot­ton for the market, now he may pre­pare three hundredweight, and the south is enriched, and the commerce of the world is revolutionized, and over 8,000,000 bales of cotton {were prepar­ed this year, enough to keep at work In this country 14,300,000 spindles, em­ploying 270,000 bands and enlisting 8281,400,000 of capital.

Thank yon. Ell Whitney, and L. 8. Chichester of New York, his successor. Above mil. thank God for their laveat-

steamboat wheel multiplied its veloci­ties until the Lucania of the Cunard line and the Majesforof the White Star line and the Near York of the American line and the. Kaiser Wilhelm of the North German Lloyd line cross the Atlantic ocean In six days or less,r communication between the two coun­tries so rapid and so constant that whereas once those who bad been to Europe took on airs for foe rest of their mortal llvee—and to me for many yean the most disagreeable man I could meet waaitoe man who had been to Europe, despising all American pic­tures and American music agd Ameri­can; society because they had seen Eu­ropean pictures and heard European music and mingled In European so­ciety—now a transatlantic voyage is so common that a sensible man would no more- boast of it than if he had been to New York or Boston.

L s s t e a r l a e l F rsg rcw .What a difference between John

Fitch’s steamboat. 80 feet Jong, and the Oceanic. 704 feet long! The ocean wheel turns swifter and swifter, filling up the distance between the hemis­pheres and hastening foe time spoken of in the book of Revelation when there shall be no more sea.

While this has been doing on the water James Watt's wheel has done as much on foe land,. How well I re­member Sanderson’s stagecoach, run­ning from New Brunswick to Easton, as be drove through Somerville, N. J.. turning op to the poetofflee and drop­ping the mall bags with ten letters and two or three (newspapers, Sander­son himself on the box, 6 feet 2 Inches and well proportioned, long lash whip in his hand, the reins of six horses In the other, the “leaders” lathered along the line of the traces, foam ‘dripping from the bits!

It was foe event of the day when the stage Vame. It was our highest ambition to become a stage driver. Some of the boy9 climbed on the great leathern boot of the stage, and those of' us who could not get on shouted. “Cut behind!” I saw the old stage driver not long ago, and I expressed to him • my surprise that one around whose head I had seen a halo of glory In my boyhood time was only a man like the rest of us. Between Sander­son's stagecoach and a Chicago express train what a difference, all the great dties of the nation strung on an Iron thread of railways!

At Doncaster, England, I saw George Stephenson’s first locomotive. If to good repair. It ,could run yet, but be­cause of its make and size It would be the burlesque of all railroaders. Be­tween that rude machine, crawling down the Iron track, followed by a clumsy and bouncing train, and one of onr Rocky mountain locomotives, with a village of palace can. becoming drawing rooms by day and princely dormitories by night, what bewitching

We need have:no anx­iety about this Invasion of the world’s stupidity by the vivacious and laugh­ing and jubilant wheel, except that we always want It to roll to foe'right di­rection, toward place of- business, to­ward good recreation, toward philan­thropy, toward usefulness, toward places of divine worship, and never to­ward Immortality or Sabbath desecra­tion.

great depots for a thousand mile Jour­ney! All aboard! Tickets clipped and baggage checked and porters attentive to •every want, under tunnels dripping with dampness that never saw the light; along' ledges where an inch off the track would be the difference be­tween a hundred men living and a hundred dead, full head of steam and two men to the locomotive charged with all the responsibility of whistle and Westlnghouse brake. Clank! clank! go tbe wheels. Clank! clank! echo thq rocks. Small villages only bear the" thunder and see the whirl­wind as the train shoots past, a city

the wing. Thrilling, startling, sublime, magnificent spectacle—a rail train ta lightning procession.

When years ago the railroad men struck for wages, our country was threatened with annihilation, and we realized what the railroad wheel had done for this country—over one hun­dred and eighty thousand miles of r a il­road in the United States; in one year over . a billion dollars- received from passengers and freight; White moun­tains, Alleghany mountains, Rocky mountains,.

the wheel INever- yet haying mounted one of

those rolling wonders, I stand by the wayside, far enough off to avoid be­ing, run over* and ta amazement and congratulation cry out, in Ezekiel’s phraseology of tbe text, “O wheel!”

Miraevleu Priatiac Prm<Fourthly, 1 look Into the literary

world and see what the wheel! has ac­complished. I am moire astounded with thtg than anything that has pre­ceded. Behold the almost miraculous printing press! Do you not . feel the

adelphia! Washington and ' western dailies? Some of ns remember when the hand Ink roller was run over the Cylinder, end by great haste 800 copies of the village newspaper were Issued In one day and no lives lost. But In­vention has crowded invention and wheel jostled wheel, stereotyping, electrotyping, taking their places, Ben­jamin Franklin’s press giving way to the. Lord Stanhope press, and the Washington press and. the Victory press and the Hoe perfecting press have been set up. Together with the newspapers comes' the publication of Innumerable books of history, of poetry, of romance, of art, of travel, of biography, of religion, dictionaries, en­cyclopedias and Bibles. Some of these presses send forth the most accursed stuff, but the good predominates. Turn on with wider sweep and greater veloc­ity, O wheel—wheel of! light, wheel of civilization, wheel of Christianity, Wheel of divine momentum!

Oh those four wheels—that of the sewing machine, that of the reaper, that of the railroad locomotive, that of the printing press—the. world has mov­ed up to Its present prosperity.

And now I gather on an Imaginary platform,, as I literally did when I preached in Brooklyn, specimens of our American products.

r u m W t e B H e H M B f o t a s MMany years ago 1 was a frightened,

bitter, angry little rebel, one of the only tw o Southern girls in a large school ff-rjip the Hudson river. It was riot very. long after foe dose of our terrible civil war. and the two angry , but helpless little > creatures were the victims of the bitter spirit which at that time was still so strong. Suddenly the crowd of tormentors was dispersed by a talk beautiful. girl, the acknowledged queen of tlft j school. She gathered ns both Into ber tender clasp, and her voice sang like a clarion as she said: “Cowards! Don’t yon see their black dresses?” It was enough, and in a moment the-fole turned, and our persecutors became our consolers. -r ^

Onr rescuer, our guardian ange*‘(ia she became henceforth, was a sister o f Theodore Tilton and was about to graduate, while we had just entered school. *

The day of her graduation came, aad among the jndgea was Mr* Tilton, thefi to the zenith of his fame, brilliant, handsome, debonair, with gracious words for every one, bat many kind end gentle ones for the sisters, two de­voted little worshipers, whose story he bad been told.

I was the junior winner of the first prize for spelling, and never will 1 for­get my thrill of conscious self respect when he said, “The tables are turned, and the little rebel has conquered you.”

Last spring I was at an afternoon tea to Paris and was attracted by the gran­deur of an old man, who towered above all present like a giant among pygmies. Some vagrant memory was stirred, so I asked the name of thiri “grand old man” and. .was told that he was Theo­dore Tilton and that he never permit- \ ted himself to be presented to stran- j gers unless, knowing who he was, they themselves requested a presentation. I Doing homage tq. the spirit, which prompted such a course, t asked that we might be introduced, and then fol­lowed such an hour of pleasant remi- j niscences as wiH not soon be forgotten.

From the beautiful spqt upon th e . F E banks of the Hudson where we first | Amet we wandered through many lands and many scenes. I had known him first when he was like a giant tree of the forest ta the pride and pomp of its full new growth. I tsaw him again, llk£ that seme giant tree, which, hav­ing withstood . the waning and . tbe buffeting of the elements,’ stood cov­ered with heavy moss, still straight and strong, above tbe petty things of life, but—alone. 1

Today he is the center of a circle of loving friends, who, amid brilliancy of Intellect and height of social position, siill feel that his presence gives them honor. His face shows the impress of such agony as few souls have battled with and have lived, but it also shows foe courage of the vanquisher of him­self. So today Theodore Tiltonistands, ever lonely, ever aloof, but to the la s t : with haughty head unbent—Indian-1 apolls $entlnel. ’

Crimson clover has come toto-promi­nence lBvjthls country- within compara­tively recent years. It can hardly be regarded as a successful crop outside of the region from Nezr Jersey west to the Alleghany mountains and soutH to eastern- Tennessee and Texas. Good crops are often obtained ln< other sec­tions, bnt cannot be depended upog year after year. In the middle aqti •onto Atlantic states this clover Is one of the best crops that east ba grown for forage and soil renovation.

From results recently ob­tained at the Alabama experiment sta­tion it seems very Jilcely that in many cases, especially In the south, failures With the crop are to be attributed to the absence from the soil of the tuber­cle forming organisms which are neces­sary for the proper1 appropriation of nitrogen by the plant These organ- lams beimg supplied to the soil, excel­lent crops wers obtained where with­out them, the result was a failure.

E. M. Morton’s friends sav he could recite It; and If he were pbie to de­scribe the affair aa grapBfc^lly on pa­per aa he has vwbally since his return to Council Bluffs fame and fortune would be his lot instead of mail bags and time cards. He Is a.postal clerk sod was in toe car next to that which was dynamited, by the bandits. And he didn’t run a bit at' that exciting pe­riod. The reason was a gun held by one of the robbers and pointed In toe direc­tion of Mr. Morton’s head, which at that moment, be says, looked to him like one of Dewey’s cannons.

“Say, 1 thought it was all a Joke at first,” he explains. “A bcakeman jump­ed aboard my car . after the engineer had obeyed the stop Signal a,nd brought the train to a standstill. The brakey had his hands above his bead and look­ed real funny. He turned about fac­ing outward. ‘That’s all right’ I says. ‘You can put your hands down sow.’ But he didn’t put ’em down. ‘Well,’ i says In a tone meant to reassure him. *put ’em down, why don’t you!*. He didn’t look around at all. but replied in a voice that sounded as though he bad a chill, This ls no joke.’

“Some one outside then says, ‘Shut up!* tn a way that sounded as If he knew what he was talking about and 1 then turned my face around against an awful big gun. Soon another clerk was put In the car, and he had his hands heavenward, too; and kept ’em there, and I began to realize- that toe thing was no comedy. Three of us were holding our hands up then, and we didn’t look a bit funny. . Next In came the: express messenger, his hands up, and there were four of ns, and none of us laughed.

“Then the explosion ^ame, and tb4 force of it rocked our car like a ship “at sOk in a gale. A masked man with that cannon pointing toward us held his place just outside the car door, and we didn’t dare to move.

“After about 25 minutes two men— I think only two—joined the watchman at our car, and they all went away to­gether. One of ’em yelled back. ‘Don’t you marks move tor a jllttle while, or you’ll get a lead! pill!’ and we didn’t move for—w ell maybe a minute or two. I’ve been called'a mark before, but I never felt so much ilk* one as 1 did In those few minutes.

“When we got - outside, we waited around for the engine to be brought back. And..say*that engineer was a Sight! It’s hot true that be was wound^ ed in the breast They didn’t evSfa shoot at him, though they did firp at a br&keman; but the engineer looked as though he had been half shot anyhow.

yHe was completely wilted and c^ald hardly talk. He didn’t even want‘to turn back from where they had made him run his engine up the track a cou­ple of. miles, and when he was ap­proaching the spot again they say be tried to hide in the tender. Anyhq^f. he was like a leaf when he was helped out of bis cab.

“We bad to leave t^e poor fellow at De Kalb, though big! home is ln;'Clin­ton, la.; where be leaves the train on the regular run. The delay wail five hours, and we got in here at 12:30 to­day instead of 8:50. We made up some time by fast ruuning.

Dr. Dwight, turning to s prominent yonng alumnus of Yale, after, greeting him with, “Hello, classmate!” said something about his own very recent return from the country, adding after­ward: “By the way. I owe ode of the Now Haven newspapers a grudge.

"Wen, that is a m df the things, at mil .events, that can be very eastty r e f i­lled, doctor.’* said the alumnus pleas- •ntly. • ■-

When Captain Gli ms sent with a c

to carry out some expensive ' tions In Alaska last year, he jthat soowtooes would have to ptey aa • ■ Important part In the worlL An Inci­dent occurred one day that prong to j.j j him It was high time to Weak all the men who had not learned tb a art of snowshoh travel. The ^artadft P* and his party witnessed was amoslng to all except the unfortunate , pecaoo • who supplied the fun. - j , 'A

It was before the party had ftv tsd ' Inland. The hospital steward wad in­structed to cross n certain glwcler and report to Lieutenant Learnafd. It .was necessary to Wear snowshoes, a s th e weather was not cold enough to fora a crust that would bear the weight of a man. So he put on the tog* and Captain Glenn lavers in his report, which the war department has Just r -j published, that no one was ever seen ^ . Who was so utterly helpless with such! ’ footgear attached to him as thteflioa-^ pita! steward.■ He persisted In sticking the toe of his shpea into the snow, and this error kept hlnx ta tsoqble. Then about every third pace he Would step on ona shoo with the other and keel headlong over

•Into the snow. In this stautilsa-he was s mere mass of belplesoaoss, hnd. do what he might, be cpoldn’t arise till somebody came find boosted him to hi* fee t I t took film right boors to travel two miles, sad before he got back to camp he had given np snow- shoeing. He came In waddling through the snow np to hla hliw ahd dtagglag hla shoes. > !SI ‘

This convinced the captain that It was absolutely necessary for every member of the detachment to know t how to use snowshoes, and ho the “t edict went forth that the steward end every other man who had not previous­ly acquired this knowledge should use snowshoes for a walk of five miles ev­ery day till all were proficient

All of which callsJto mind that in the very winter that John Milton entered Cambridge university, 1625, there Was • J a tremendous fall of snow in the like of which had not been seen ty the oldest inhabitant, and history re­cords that It . kept deep and soft for w^eks. The i English had beard of gftowshoeing in Norway and the arctic regions, and so some of them, who bad to get: about somehow, took ~to making snowshoes and. learned the guile th^t was to them. A modern' novelist who tells a story of that period has his hero describe his experience'with this foot­wear:

“1 built myself a pair of strong and light snowshoes, framed wlth sah and ribbed of withy, -with half tanned calf­skin stretched across and an Inner Bole to support my fe e t At first I cdUfd not walk at a ll but floundered about moft piteously, catching one shoe In the oth­er and both of them In the snowdrifts, to the great amusement of the girls who were come to look at me. Bnt after awhile I- grew more expert and crossed the farmyard and came hack again, though turning was the wesst thing of a ll without so moch a s falling once.” .•

Ail arctic explorers have testified that snowshoelng is not oasy th learn and that It Is still more difficult to mas­ter the Norwegian sk i—New York Sun.
