Atlanta Constituiion. Birthday s are very common things in this sublunary world. There are sixty millions of the'm every year and that means about one hundred and fifty thousand every day or six thous and every hour. Just think of it every minute one hundred mortal souls come into this world-to live and die, for good or for evil-for happiness or misery. As far back as we have any history, sacred or profane, kings and princes have celebrated their birthdays with feasts and wine and song, and even the humble and the poor take note of their annual return. Pharaoh celebrated his in Joseph's day,. and it was on Ilerod's birthday that the daughter of Herodias danced before him and asked him for the head of John, the Baptist. I was ruminating about this because today is a notable birthday in my fam ily. The maternal ancestor has at last reached her three-score years and ten -the allotted age of man and woman kind, and from now on every day she lives will be one of grace. David says that the days of our years are three score years and ten, but if by reason of strength they b3 four score years yet is their strength labor and sorrow. Poor old man, he did have a troubled life. le sinned and he repented in great anguish, and he exclaimed, " My sin is ever before me." Solomon saith, " The day of one's death is better than the day of his birth." And Joh said, "Cursed is the night when I was born.'' Jeremiah's life was oie o, loat ation. The maxims and precetil of these old prophets and preachers are wonder fully teautiful and have never been equalled, but great men are not always wise, and even Solomon fell from grace and died accursed. The man who said, "Rejoice in the wife of thy youth and be thou always ravished with her love," forsook his own and consorted with a thousand others of all nations, creeds and colors. Ile reigned eighty years and died a dissappointed, dis honored, degraded and miserable old man. But old age is not necessarily unhappy. The poet speaks of '*An old age serene and bright, As lovely as a Lapland night," and another poet says: " The world is vcry lovely. Oh, my God, I thank Thee that I live." Our old age is very much what we choose to make it. It is a sad thing to be weary and tired with the weight of years. It is pitiful to look upon an old man who never smiles, who has outlived all social pleasures and whose company is neith er sought nor desired. For the sake of our neighbors and friends it is our duty to be cheerful in their company. We should sometimes smile even if we have to force it. Let us grow old gracefully. I have now in mind just such an one--a hale, healthy old time gentleman of four score years, whose presence is always welcome and whose children, grandchildren and neighbors and friends give him glad greeting when he comes. Ile will be missed when he dies, for the world is better that lie lives in it. His Christian faith, his moral conduct, his good example and his cheet ful disposition are a bene diction to the community. But I was thinking about my wife's birthday. There are thirty-seven birthdays in our family, and she knows them all and never forgets them. They average about three a month, but this one of hers is a very notable one, for she is the maternal ancestor, andl this day fulills her years and crosses the line. Seventy years ago she was born, and not long after that the stars fell. Of course they dild. Sevenmty is a num oral of sacred significance. There were seventy elders of Israel and seventy wise- men compiled the 0O(1 Testament,. The Jews were kept in captivity seventy years. The Lord sent out seventy of his disciples to preach andl teach the people, and seventy years is the allotted age of mankind. But, my wife is not old. Time has written no wrinkles on her brow nor furrows on her chdek nor silveredl her raven hair. If the long war had not intervenedl she would net, look more than fIfty years now. But the wear andl tea! of the war and anxiety while fleeing from the foul Invader, with six little hungry children tagging after her, made years of months an'dI weeks of days. Btt women, especially mothers, can endure more distress and suffering than men. The maternal Instinct keeps them up. They can suffer and be strong. It looks like the motherhood of ten child ren would wear a woman out, but they seem to thrive on it, and late in life they take on flesh and round up all the corners. But they never stop work. My wife haa made over five thousand little garments and Is still making them, for the little grandchildren keep com ing on. Her reputation for nice needle ' work and making but,tonholes has been long established, and she is proud of it. She never istops sewing until she loses her spectacles, and then she bor rows mine. N4o, she is not old. James Russell Lowell said of Julia Ward Howe on her seventieth birth. day. -that it was better to be seventy years young than forty years old. is this -endurance, this oheerfulness in adversiWy that makes the women~ out. live the men. There are three time; as many widows in this community at widowers. There are seventeen inl oni little Ptesbyterian church and ont~ for widowers, and the war was no the oatnYof it. Maternal love is' preseVhitie ot lt4a4ho It is A topic, rol2iolh o 4ptIon a pMaha whereas, a man will pursue money until he locses his digestion. St. .'aul said that " The love of money is the root of all evil," but he bad no thought of applying it to wo man, for she has no love for money. If she gets any she is not happy until she spends it. The girls said their mother wanted a new bonnet so they bought one for her birthday, and all I had to do was to pay for it. She al ways lets me do that. She is a free trader and will keep me in decent clothes whether I want them or not. She always was a free trader. I was a merchant before we were married and she was my best customer. She never asked the price of anything, but bought what she wanted and -trusted me to tote fair and deal justly. Good gracious! What a long time ago that was, and how trim and beauti ful she was to me. She wore No. 2 shoes and stepped like a fawn and flashed her Pocahontas eyes bewitch ingly when she said goodby. She can flash them yet. Seventy years old and gwine on seventy-one-trying to catch up. Maybe she will when I am dead, but not till then. I remember when I was twice as old as she was, for I was twelve and she was six, but she keeps gaining on me. I remember when she was in her early teens and wore short dresses and pantalettes and rode a fast pacing horse, while her long black Indian hair hung in tresses down her back. She was a daisy then and she is a daisy yet, sometimes. But she can't climb 'simmon trees any more. She is seventy--the mother of ten children and twenty grandchildren, and they are scattered from New York to the halls of the Montezumas. She is troubled now about her baby boy, who lives under the dark shadows of l'opoatapeLil, in Mexico, which means Lhe smoking mouutain and is smoking uow, and maybe will burst forth in these volcanic times and destroy the people As at Martinique. Two weeks from today will be my birthday and she will 4ive me something, I know--not a bon uet, but perhaps a summer hat from Porto Rico. A bird in the air whisper ed that to me. BIL Aiti.

Hartzog is to re r main at the head of Clemson College, t which was settled by the trustees at t their annual meeting cn Thursday, Gth inst. The first matter taken up was the consideration of the resignation of President Hartzog, which was tendered I at the special meeting of the board three weeks ago, The board was is session several hours Wednesday night and again the next morning, and Thursday afternoon the following statement was given out: " The board of trustees of Clemson College with a full realization of the gravity of the issues involved, and a sense of our primary obligation to con sider only the interests of this great in stitution, have giden most carefnl con sideration to the resignation of Presi dent Hartzog now before us. We have made a careful investigation of all the charges that have been presented and given a patient hearing to all parties desiring to be heard. It seems to us that these charges are chiefly the re sult of misunderstandings and have been magnified in the minds of the students to a greater extent than they deserve. We can find nothing against President Hartzog involving mortal turpitude. We realize that mistakes have occurred. We propose to remedy L,hem. " We have kept in view the absolute necessity of maintaining and preserv ing discipline in the college, while giv ing due weight to all that has been urged as to the relations alleged to exist between the president, and the corps. We recall the faithful, efficient and satisfactory manner in which President Hartzog has for five years past administered the business interestb of the college. " Bearing all these facts in mind and with a realizing sense of the grave responsibilities resting upon us, it is the deliberate opinion of the board that the resignation of Presdei}t Hartzog should not be accepted. " Therefore be it resolved, That this board respectfully requests and urges President Hartzog to withdraw his resignation and continue his valuable services to this institution." When the statement was given out it was stated that it had been unani mously adopted, every member pres ent voting for it. All the members were present except Col. Norris. The sessions of the board at this meeting were held with closed doors, and there was no public taking of testimony as at the last meeting. After the decision of the trustees had been announced President Hart zog went before them and thanked them for their vindication of him and they expressions of con fidence. He aid that since it. was their desire that he should do so he would withdraw his resignation and remain with the college. Thursday afternoon he was asked by this correspondent if he desired to make any statement for the public. He replied in the negative, remarking that he did not feel that there was any oc casion for him to make any such state ment. He said that he had all along demanded the fullest investigation of his administration of the affairs of the college, and now that the Investiga tion had been held and he had been vindicated and asked to retain the p residency he naturaily felt gratified. He will remain at the head of the col lege and will serve it with the zeal and devotion as heretofore. After disposing of the Hartzog mat-. ter the trustees took up other routine matters that naturally come before them at their annual meeting. Two or three of the younger members of the faculty have resigned with a view of accepting positions elsewhere, but these resignations would have occurred anyway and have no connection with the recent troubles at the college. LIliT ON THE ~QUEsTiON.---A short time ago a large factory, fitted with electric lights, caught on fire, and in ,spite of the efforts of the fire brigade, was almost dlemolished. The follow ,ing morning a newly appomnted mem ber of the police foice was dispatched to the spot with a view to ascertaining how the fire originated. After closely interrogating the man Sager of the factory, lie asked to see the man who was responsible for the elec tric light. The manager stated that the electric switches were under his sole control. Policeman--Then you are the man a who lights up the electric affair? I Manager-That Is so.

GRAT MACH INE INVENTRI An Apparatus for Cooling the Atmosplhere In Dwellings. Prof. Willis L. Moore, chief of the Weather Bureau at Washington, has perfected a very valuable machine which should make the hottest sum mer endurable in the most torrid clime. It is an apparatus for coolhng the atmosphere in houses and it may be used for commercial purposes as a cold storage plant. The machine it described in a dispatch from Wash ington to the New York Sun as fol lows: The gravity appuratus for cooling dwellings, invented by Prof. Wilhs L. Moore, chief of the Weather Bureau patents for which were i ecently se cured, was placed in operation for pub lie demonstration today. The machine looks like a cylinder stove, and the in. ventor says it will in time come to be considered as essential to the comfort of a dwelling in summer as heating ap paratus in winter. Prof. Moore saye that the cost of cooling a given space with tins machine is approximately the same as that of heating the same space by means of a e o or furnace. Be iides this, the different uses to which he machine may be put are unlimited. He expects it to prove of great value to hospitals, particularly for reducing the temperature of wards in which rover patients are confined, and in ad lition to its use for cooling residences rnd1 hotels, he says he scoliec the prob. lem of individual cold storage. Prof. Moore's invention, in addition Lo reducing temperature, washes, 1leanses and renders the air dry and iealthful. Hot air, filled with dust, is Laken into the machine at a tempera Lure of nearly 100 degrees and expelled ilmost instantly at a temperature of 30 degrees and with its relative hu. midity lessened by more than half. The machine operates, as its name implies, on the principle of gravity. That is, it makes use of the differenc' in weight between air at a high and al a low temperature. It is, moreover automatic. It requires no motive power and is self-adjusting. Whe1 the weather is very hot the machin works faster than when it is only mod erately warm, and when the weathe is temperate the machine ceases its 01 erations altogether. It is necessary t change the machine only once a da: preferably in the morning, and then will automatically keel) the dwellin in which it is placed at a cool, eve temperature. The gravity cooler, will, like stove be manufactured in all sizes from small affair corresponding to a stov designed to heat one room to an in1 mense cylinder, corresponding to a dr heat furnace and capable of effectual and quickly cooling every part of large dwelling. Ptaf. Moore only re cently secured his patents and yestet day was the first day the niachine ha been in operation at the Weather Bi: reau. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson ha heard of Prof. Moore's machine an walked to the Weather Bureau fro church yesterday morning. Mr. Wil son was warm after his walk and tol Prof. Moore he wanted to be "coole off." He was taken to the rooa where the machine was in operatio1 and a few minutes later buttoned u his coat and remarked that he did n<( care to be frozen to death in summeem The machine .in operation at th Weather Bureau is much too large fo the room in which it is placed an makes the room feel like the cold atom age department of a packing house. I is of the size intended for a hoapita ward and was built for experimenta purposes. Prof. Moore says that as soon as thn foreign patents are granted he wil, make public the formula of the compo sition with which the machine u charged. lie said, however, that the comp)osition contained no ammonia, nor any of the usual ingredients of or dinary freezing mixtures. T[he re porter looked into a sliding door of thi cylinder and saw a lot of little wheels pipes and slowly turning machinery which, Prof. Moore explained, all de pended upon the principle of gravit for motion. The top of the brass cyl inder was perfectly dry, while the bot tom was coated with frost and Ice, th temperature of the air being graduatet through the various compartments o the cylindler, from about 90 degrees when It entered, through a pipe at thn top, until It was discharged at 30 de grees. An anemometer placed at th discharge pipe showed that the ma chine was giving off 200 cubic feet ol air a minute, or 12,000 feet an houm The room in which the machine wa in operation contained 4,000 cubic fee of air and although the doors were bn mng opened and closed every few min utes the temperature remained belos 60 degrees and the room was muc too cold for comfort. Long year. ago when cotton wi first crowned king, the seeds were coi sidered a nuisance. Now the by-pr duct., meal and oil, made from ti cotton seed amount to $118B,000,000 year, or about one-.third the value in the lint.
