French Army Helmets. There are sixty-four distinct opera tions necessary In turning out ono or the plain steel helmets worn by Kronen soldiers. The first step Is stamping out disks from Urge sheets of steel. A special machine Is used for this pur pose, exerting a pressure of luO tons and capable of cutting out fi.000 steel disks a day. Each disk Is placed tin der a shaping machine, which presses the disk Into the form of a helmet with broad rim. Polishing and cutting machines remove all Irregularities In the helmet, after which It has holes punched In the crown, some for ven tllatlon purposes, others for fastening on the regimental crest. Each helmet is cleaned and dipped In a special mix. tine which makes It a dull, inconspic uous bluish-gray. A lining and leatb er chin straps are then fastened on, ami the helmet Is complete. Pearson s Tho Wesley Oak. Tho Weslev oak, according to the At- Innta (Ga.) Journal, stands on St. M mnn's Island, less than a mile from Fort Fredeiica. It Is 1200 feet high. and its cool shade rest3 llko a bene diction over an area of several acres. According to local tradition, this tree marks the exact spot on which the Wesleys preached. Charles Wesley en gaged himself to Oglethorpe as private secretarv before leaving England. But he afterward took orders and devoted much of his time to preaching near Frederlca. From time to time John Wesley came down from Savannah to Join him. This famous oak Btaiuts at the gateway to tho cliurcnyanl or Christ church, and scvernl generations Bleep within the lnclosuro that guards. Mosses hang down from its limbs, and it is solemn and beautiful United Statos. If von should hear some stranger mention the United States are you pos Itlve that you would know whnt ho meant? In the eastern part of South America the term "Fnlted States" is regarded as an mflfcalified designation of the republic of l.ra.ll, while a llttlo way to the north the term Is taken to refer to Venezuela. In almost all parts of the southern continent the mention of a country In the northern hemis nbere called "Fnlted States" is likely to suggest Mexico, whoso ollldal tltlo Is Kstndns Fnldos Mexlcanos. There are still those who speak of the repub lic of Colombia as "tho United States," because during the period when Its federal constitution was In force, from 1SU1 to 1K80, It was called Estados I'nldos de Colombia." St. Ixmls Globe Democrat. Self Reliance. The spirit of self help Is tho root of all genuine growth In tho Individual, and, exhlbljed In the lives of many, it constitutes the true source of national vigor and strength. Help from with out is often enfeebling in its effects, but help from within invariably luvlg- , orates. Whatever is done for men or classes to a certain extent takes away the stimulus and necessity of doing for themselves, and whero men are sub jected to overguldanco and overgov ernnieiit the Inevitable tendency Is to render them comparatively helpless.
