FREE HAND DRAwING.-At Dresser & Nc.
Clellan's book store there is on exhibition a
collection of specimens of free-hand drawing
which deserves special mention. They were
executed by pupils of the High School in Penn
broke and consist of original sketches and de-
signs, and copies of maps, arches and anatomi-
cal drawings. None of the pupils who made
these drawings are over fourteen years Of age.
and their advancement in this particular is
highly credtable, both to their teacher and
themselves. Two years ago j. M. Hawkes.,
Esq, formerly of North Bridgton, took charge
of the Pembroke High School, At that time,
as he says, neither he nor his pupils knew any
thing about drawing. Being convinced that
this was desirable feature of education, he
introduced exercises in free-hand drawing into
the school, using as books of instruction Bar
tholomew's revised series, meeting as is shown
by the specimens on exhibitions, with the most
gratifying success The study is one which
seems to grow in interest with the pupils, and
as an example of the practical efficiency attain
ed by this class, there are shown eight original
designs of carpet patterns drawn by members
OF the class in 30 minutes, during their last ex-
animation, they having had no previous init
nation that they would be called on to show
their proficiency in this manner. Those inter-
ested in this branch of modern education will
do we'll to examine these drawings, as showing
what may be accomplished in this direction
without greater facilities for instruction than
those afforded in an ordinary village High
School.

Two Men Nearly Frozen 30 Death ON
Watts Ledge-Other Disasters.

Yesterday morning Mr.. Nelson Wheeler Of
Richmond's Island, came to the city and re-
ported most terrible case Of suffering on
Watts Ledge, near that Island. Tuesday morn
ing his son, Mr.. Otis Wheeler and a Mr.. John
Philbrick, both of whom live on Richmond's
Island, noticed small boat lying on Watts
Ledge, short distance from the extreme end
of that island. They at once jumped into a
small dory and quickly pulled over to the ledge,
where they beheld a fearful sight. They found
a small schooner-rigged boat bilged on the
rocks Near her were two men nearly persisted.
One of them was wedged in between two rocks
and could scarcely move. His feet aud legs
were both frozen, and his neck and hands were
badly frost bitten. The other was just able to
move about and was not frozen as badly as his
companion. The poor sufferers were taken into
the dory and carried to the island, where they
received the best of treatment at the house of
Mr. Nelson Wheeler They soon recovered and
said their names were George Wallace and
Charles Parker, and that they belonged in
Round Pond. They stated that they left Cape
Small Point on Monday in their boat to 60 to
Boston. The gale of the forenoon did not

struck on Watts Ledge and bilged. They had
no fuel or provisions and they had no way of

remain, in hopes that some one might rescue

they will probably both be cripples for life The

Nor SO BAD.-The reported accident on the
Grand Trunk, at Bryant's Pond, was not so
much OF an accident as at first reported. The
freight train was not running on the time of
the passenger train. One of the trains was
standing at the station and slight collision oc-
CURED in consequence of the failure of the va
CUM brakes to work-a matter beyond control
at the time. The engines were not smashed
and the trains were not detained to any extent.
In this connection we will suggest to the G T.
Railway official who sent the correction that
peremptory orders are not IN good taste to
newspapers from corporation which never ex-
tends any courtesy to journals to enable them
to get news correctly.

LECTURES, ETC.
DIR. HOLLAND ON HOBBY RIDING.

DR. HOLLAND ON HOBBY RIDING.
The regular lecture in the M. L. A. course
was delivered by Dr. J. G.. Holland to half
hall full. on 'Hobby Riding" The doctor re-
eeived the close attention of his audience
throughout. He said that it is the natural re-
suit of civilization that men should be given up
to specialties. Those who succeed in any call
ing do but one thing. The worthless are the
aimless jack-of-all-trades. Now and then a
man can be successful in many walks of life,
but these are rare. Successful physicians, law
yers, teachers are so because they give their
lives to single topic. The country doctor
while he does a vast d cal of good, seldom be-
comes famous in his profession because he is
doctor, nurse, surgeon, dentist, in one 1t is
well that men should have specaties, but the
danger is that man may be exhausted by his
hobby. He will get stupid respecting even his
speciality. A carpenter can build according to
other plans, but when he attempts to build for
himself he will quite likely construct what will
be 1idiculed as carpenters house for its utter
lack of comelness and comfort. The pursuing
CT speciality through life cuts channel deep
down into the man, and specialtes are so pur-
sued as to make hobby horses of them.
Dr. Holland then proceeded to point out the
means to prevent the i'll effects of pursuing
specialties in life. That which we acquire is
knowledge. That which we develope is cul-
ture. knowledge can never make a man.
Culture sometimes can A fact is a dead
though valuable and indestructable thing,
thought is a live thing giving life, fresh
ness and feeling. True culture begins with the
heart and Teaches the intellect and magma
ton. 1t reaches all the pores of the soul.
Culture, then, is what is demanded to save us
from the ruin of specially, of hobby riding.
Specially, men must pursue to succeed, but
culture must interfere to keep men from that
hard single purpose which makes them ma
chimes. Women are not specialists. Their
employments are many. Their education is
not in that direction. They were not made for
specialists. They have natural capacity for
culture. The conception of the beautiful and
the varied is woman's by intuition Woman's
mission, then, is to save man from the hard
ways and straight barren facts of hobby riding.
