Justice Brewer of the United StateB supreme court has been delivering a course.of lectures at Yale.

PRATT.. It is reported that a workman named Mpntag, ln the Hemshof dye and Boda factory, near Mannheim, Uermany has invented a substitute for coal which costs about 85 cents per 830 pounds to manufacture. The process to described by A. L. Frankenthal, United States consul at lienre, In The Advance Sheet of Consular report issued by the gov ernment as follows: "Peat is the basis, with addition of certain .chemicals which, up to the pres ent, are the secret of the inventor. Par tly who have seen the product burn say that it gives great" heat, burns with a bright flame, and leaves no slag and only a quantity of white ashes. ^Certain Mannheim capitalists haye tried to ob obtalu the secret from the inventor, by offering him a position as director in a company to be established, giving him a salary of 94,000 and 2 per cent of the profits, but he has refused this offer, because he wants to controi the sale of the Invention himself. Capitalists now clBim that Montag asks too high a price. Mr. Gehrig, the secretary of the Mannheim Chamber of Commerce,' hBB It is said, undertaken to procure the necessary means to commence the man ufacture of the article in partnership with the inventor. /They have bought twenty-five acres of peat land and have bonded one: hundred and twehty-flve more in the-Vicinity of Hockenhelm, where they will erect the' necessary buildings, large enough to keep severali hundred men at work.

If by success we mean the fpll^c comJ)llshment of nn end, the- actual reaping of a harvest of results, then It Is undoubtedly true that the higher and nbbler the purpose the rarer will be the success. If we aim to relieve a man's hunger, we can quickly succeed ln the easy task, but if we aim to In spire him with a desire to earn his own bread the work 1s more difficult and: the success far more problematical. If we would restrain a thief from rob bery, the prison bars and locks insure success, but If we would make an hon est man of him our task Is a complex one,iand success may be afar off. We undertake to teach a child to read. If with requisite effort we follow up our task, we are successful, but if we as pire to raise the educational standard of our community how arduous the task, how uncertain the result, how questionable the success! Tht low man sees a little ««*»g to do,^ 8ees it and does it T%e high man, with a great thing to purms, Dies ere he knows it. Is his life, then, a failure? No let us never imagine that any high pose, any noble thought, any gene^Si* emotion, any earnest effort, is ev •We jmay never witness its gro1 may not live to gather Its fruit or eveS** to see lts blossoms, but,we may safely trust that somewhere .and at some tlm0 the harvest will be abundant, ,and success, long'hidden, fihaU bjioonie' ap^ fHE SERGEANT'S GOLD,^ It JfeTeir Reached the "Onld Folks at Home." Surgeon General Sternberg told a good Story once of an experience he had ln the civil war. He said that when lie was going Into the battiei of Bull Run the Irish sergeant major ot his regiment came to him with a big bag of gold oolu weighing three or tour pounds and said: "Doctor, I know that I'm to be kilt entirely, an I want you to take care of thlB money an see that it gets to thc ould folks at home.'/ There was no time to remonstrate or to make any other arrangement, and, dropping the bag Into the surgeon's lap, the Irishman hurried away to Ills place at the head of the column. All through two bloody days Dr. Stern berg carried that bag of gold with hla surgical Instruments, and It was a har den and an embarrassment to hlm.^ Efe tried to get rid of It,, but oouldn't And" any one willing: to accept or even to share the responsibility, and he couldn't throw it away for the sake of the "ould folks at home." Toward the close of the second day the surgeon was taken prisoner. He lost his surgical Instruments and hla medicine- cose, but-clung to the gold, and, making a belt of his necktie and handkerchief, tied ,it around his waist next to his skin to prevent its confisca tion by his captors. During the. long, hot and weary march that followed the. goldpleces chafed his flesh, and hla waist, became so sore and blistered as to cause him Intense suffering, but he was bound that the "ould .folks at home" should have the benefit of that money. and, by-the exercise of great (caution and patience managed to keep It until he was exchanged'with other prisoners and got back to Washington. There Jbe found his regiment ln camp, and one of the first men to welcome him was the Irish sergeant major, who was so delighted to learn that the doc tor bad saved his money that he got drunk. and gambled it all away the first night.—Chicago Becord.
