Huxley as q Handicraftsman.

"Technical education" says Prof. Hux-
leg, in Popular Science Monthly, In the
sense In which the term is ordinarily
used, and in which am now employing
il, means that sort of education which IS
specially adapted to the needs of men whose
business in life it is to pursue some kind
of handicraft, it is, in fact, fine Greco
Latin equivalent Cor what in good vernac-
ular nglish would be called "the teach
ing of handicrafts." And probably, at
this stage of our progress, it may occur
to many of you to think Of the story OF
the cobler and his last, and to say to your
selves, though you will be too polite to
put the question openly to me: "What
does the speaker know practically about
This matterl What is his handicraft2" l
think the question is very proper one,
and, unless were prepared to answer it,
/ hope satisfactorily, l should have chosen
some other theme.
The fact is, 1 am, and have been any
time these thirty years, man who works
with his hands-a hardicraftsman. do
not say this in the broadly metaphorical
sense in which fine gentlemen, with all
the delicacy of Agag about them, trip to
the hustings about election time, and pro-
test that they, too, are workingmen. l
really mean my words to be taken in
their direct literal and straightforward
sense. In fact, if the most nimble-ting-
cred matchmaker among you will come
to my workshop, he may set me to put a
watch together, and / will set him to dis

1t IL boooIA.-r '
that for the increasing problems OF TINS
modern age, whose leading characteristic
seems to be unrest, agriculture presents
the most sure and effective solution.
"Attention is newly directed to the soil,
remarks the New York Evening Post, ''as
the safest object of labor. The earth has
not habit of going into bankruptcy. 1t
does not embezzle. 1t does not speculate.
1t does not neglect to lay its debts. 1t
makes no rash experiments. 1t does not
violate the laws of nature, or try to put
into their place the absurd notions OF
dreamers, or the villainous schemes OF
rascally demagogues." All this is strik
ingly true, and men are beginning to
think about it as they have not done be-
fore in an entire generation. We need
but to revert to the record which shows
how fast the public lands are being occu-
pied to verify the assertion. And IN New
England it is characterlstically true that
men who are weary of waiting on waning
business prospects are turning to the land
IS their surest resort.
The reoccupation and rehabilitation of
New England farms is one of the most
hopeful symptoms of this agricultural re-
,ival. Men are becoming persuaded tha,
the land is after ali the great panacea fo
individual and social troubles. They can
see at this very time that if itwere not foi
agriculture the condition of the country
would be greatly different from what it is,
with fewer prospects of relief than are
now apparent. 1t is this agricultural
prosperity that bears everything else up
1t is that that gives employment to rail
ads and steam lines. Traue and com
merce rely on that alone. In duo time Il
will be found to give life and ACTIVITY to
| the other kinds of business, and IL fact to
industry in all its departments. The till
| ing of the soil is the last resource of the
country. We are an agricultural nation
above everything else. We could not TO-
day be in anv sense commercial nation
without agriculture. The two interests
support one another. but agriculture will
always be the foundation one. This gen.
Grafton was never more profoundly I'M
pressed with any truth in respect to human
industry.

Deep Boring.

A deep artesian we'll is being bored at
Pesth, and has reached depth of nearly
1000 meters, over $500 feet. The work
is undertaken by the Brothers Zsigmondy,
partially at the expense of the city, which
has granted 100000 for the purpose, with
the intention of obtaining an unlimited
supply of warm water for the municipal
establishments and public baths. A tenn
perature of 161 degrees Fab. is shown
by the water at present issuing from the
well, and the work will be prosecuted
until water of 17S degrees is obtained.
About 10000 gallons of warm water
stream out daily, rising to height of 30
feet. This amount will not only supply
all the wants of the city, but converts the
surrounding region into tropical garden.
Since last June the boring had penetrated
through 200 feet of dolomite. The pre-
ceding strata have supplied a number of
interesting facts to the geologist, which
have been recorded from time to time in
the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.
Among some of the ingenious engineering
devices invented during the course of the
borings are especially noteworthy, the ar
rangements for driving in nails at the
enormous depth mentioned above, for
pulling them out, for cutting off and pull
ing up broken tubes, and mechanical
apparatus by means of which the water
rising from the well is used as motive
power for driving the drills.

Scientific Farmings

One Of the greatest mistakes of the
western farmer is that he cultivates too
much land, says A. T. Strange, in Ameri-
can Farm Journal. His whole time is
spent In producing or taking from the
land and never returning anything. 1t
his labor and manures were put on one
half of the land he now tends, his crops
would be nearly or quite as large and the
fertility of the soil kept up.
The amount annually lost by attempting
to cultivate too much land, in labor and
time, as well as the natural wear of the
land, would more than pay for all of the
fertilizers needed 10 keep up the acme of
productiveness. There is no need or Occa-
sion tor worn out farms. "Poor lands"
generally means exhausted land, j. e., land
which Is exhausted in one or more of its
productive qualifications, and by care
ful study of the land, and of the methods
n.resSary to restore its wasted vitality,
and by applying the knowledge gained in
this study, the land may not only be kept
from deterlorating more. but may be ac-
tualiy increased in productiveness. Then,
too, the land, as rule, will furnish its
own manures if proper rotation of crops
is kept up, together with the benefits of
pasturlng.
We should raise wheat when to do so
will raise the productiveness of land that
has been worn out by corn or other crops,
and pice ccrsa. We should raise the
grasses because they recuperate exhausted
soils, and we should feed on the land be-
caase by doing so We are returning to the
land what was extracted from it by the
creis we feed. 1t is useless to war
against nature, and if we run to one crop
Tor any great length of time nature will
ertainly refuse to yield up her sustenance
''ecause her laws are violated. But while
one crop may exhaust the soil of one ele-
ment necessary to formation of the crop, it
will at the same time prepare the soil for
another crop which requires different
combination of elements for its produc-
ton.
We should make nature q co-worker
with us in our efforts. The deep rooted
clover or alfalfa will pump from the
depths below the sustenance for other
crops and leave it on the surface ready
for the assimilation of plant food, and
other crops act chemically on what is al
ready on the surface, thereby rendering
soluble and available what was of no use
before. Change is essential to success.
One kind OF weeds or grass succeeds an
other in the wild state, and we should fol-
low the example.
The suns heat drives away the mois-
tMe of the earth and plants start up with
bound, then the dew of night falls upon
the withered stalks bringing with it the
nitrogen from the air and the plants again
are invigorated. The heat and moisture
of summer grow and build up, but the
frost of winter disintegrates the soil thus
preparing it for the chemical laws to
work out their beautiful results. Thus
we see that nature is ever changing, and
the successful farmer must profit by the
tact.

Employment for Women.

The subject of the employment of
women, says Harpers Magazine, Is as
vital to the rich as to the poor. Mr.. EN-
ersons remark with regard to the regula-
ton of the body holds equally for the
soul-he who is rich, and would be we'll,
let him live as if he were poor. We talk
of the lazy poor because they are bur
den to the community; are not the lazy
rich, after all, the rottenness at the cOrea
Every woman, from the queen on the
throne to the little Pippa who passes
every day to the tilature, has her work to
do, and is responsible for the due per-
formance of it. All service ranks the
same with God. All are servants equally
in his sight"
What picture would the life of the
average woman of Fifth Avenue or Bea-
con Street present to us if we should lay
it down without exaggeration on paper !!
Her schOol-ddys over, it is her habit to
walk into the breakfast room at nine
o'clock, just from her bed, her front hair
twisted over pins or bits of silk. She
lounges, reading the newspaper, chatting
with others as purposeless as herself,
warming her feet or gazing out of the
window, until eleven; then she retires to
arrange her toilet for the evening, perhaps
to examine clean clothes from the wash,
or perform some other household duty
duties not to be omitted, but which the
economical woman zone who has learned
the value of time) would have completed
before the day began; then she dresses
for afternoon calls, and, list in hand, de-
% &o1, Il
another hour fades away before she be-
gins her afternoon round, fitting from
house to house, cheerfully chatting Of the
Shaughraun, Nilsson, Kellogg-of every
| thing, in short, which concerns the shows
| of life, but careful as one walking ovel
pitfalls to avoid every subject of vital in
! terest either to herself or others. Then
the visits or drive ended, she hurries ONE
in season to dress for dinner, and 60 some
where afterward, as if to exhaust to the
last drop her own vital strength and the
hours of the day. This little record Il
not overdrawn. With certain modifca
tions, this is the substance of the life Of
wives and daughters of well-to-do mer
chants in our cities. These days art
varied by certain mornings given to music
and others to painting. But how small
the average of those who achieve anything
worth doing! A man to be q painter
must not pant with half his mind. The
same law holds good of the woman.
Let every woman apply to her own life
the doctrine of selection. The man il
bred to this. What is your son going tt
be7 parents are asked, and boys in tn,
public school confide to each other tn,
profession of their choice. No one ask
the girl what is to be her employment
what she is preparing for. The days O
her pleasant school life glide by one afte
another; frequently no accurate scholar
arship has been required of her; snt
when the routine stops, she is withou
rudder and without aim.

The Present Whereabouts of Washing.
toms Will.

The Washington correspondent OF the
Hartford Times writes as follows:
sunless something is done very sooa to
preserve it, Washington's will and the ac-
conlpanying notes will soon be lost That
g,luable document is now on file in the
oiice of the Clerk of the Court in Fairfax
:ounty, Virginia. 1t is kept in glass
case, and, from appearances, the writing
u.s almost all faded away. Owing to its
Old age it will not bear handling. The
Cierk of the Court, some years ago, had it
copyrighted, so that now, under the copy
night law, he is the only person who has
a right to publish it. In the spring of
1873, this clerk published the will in
psmphlet form, and sold great many
copies at the Centennial, and also in other
parts of the country. Recently some gen.
tlomen, both for the purpose of specu-
s5ion and as means of having an exact
copy, in case the original faded away en-
| tilely, or was lost by fre-the building
in which it is now kept not being fire.
pioof-made proposition to the Clerk Of
the Court to have the will and accompa-
uying notes, as also the will of Martha
Washington, photo-lithographed, but the
clerk refused on the ground that In case
| this was done it would prevent the sale of
| the incomplete pamphlet which he had
| is ued, and which does not purport to give
I a f;lc s5nijie except of one page of the
W Ii. Application was then made to the
| Librarian OF the Congressional Library,
| Mr.. Spofford, for the purpose OF testing
t the right of this Clerk of the Court of
Fairtax County, under tie copyright to
hold the exclusive right of control and
| publication of the will. Mr.. Spoford an
/ svefed tnat so far as he knew, the Clerk
OF that Court having obtained copyright,
| there was no way under the law to get 1t
away from HIM to have it photo-litho-
| uiaphed, although it was very desirable
| thal fac s.milie should be obtained fol
! pi eservation as well as for distribution.
1t seems strange that the law should thus
put in control of one man, and his heirs
or assigns, the possession of this more
| than valuable document, and that the
Government has no way to get 1t from
him. The only remaining way is for the
Government or some private individual
wth the means, to purchase the copy
night. Strange as it may seem, this will
,,oes not appear III any of the published
ives of OF works on Washington, ano
,,,'nseguentlg but few people of this coun
til have ever read it in full. 1t woulo
ply handsomely as a speculation if some
oIterprising publisher could get the ust
of the original will to have it photo -Itho-
e 1pl,ed, and it will be news to many
r.tS crs to know that this document car
