Drill in the Schools.

General Sherman is of the opinion, since there is so much opposition to large stand ing army in this country, that military drill should be taught in the schools. Writing to the Superintendent of school of young amatuer soldiers Tn Michigan, he says:
 1.-The ordinary drill sets up the boy, and makes man of better figure, better phys ique, and consequently prolonging bis life and adding to the measure of his influence as citizen
 Our San Francisco Board of Education does not seem to share in General Sherman's opinion. For some time they had drill master in the public schools, but short time ago they abolished the office.

The Mormons of the Little Colorado are shipping machinery from Utah for tannery winch they intend to erect somewhere in Mogollon mountains. The want of a tannery has long been felt by the boot and shoe manufacturers of this Territory. Now, how ever, the want is to be remedied by our neighbors oR the Little Colorado. They also contemplate, at an early day, the erection of a wooden factory at some available point in eastern Yavapai.

or boats extended hundred yards or 90
into the water where the Ganges and
Jumna meet, and here there were many
hundreds of people indulging in the
sacred bath. They stood or knelt in
the water, uttering their prayers and
making many bows and genuaections.
There was no order or ceremony about
the matter, but each devotee was for
himself alone. On the bank near by
were little platforms where Brahmin
priests stamped upon the forehead of
each worshiper sign to indicate the
service he had performed, and near
them were other platforms where GER
tain of the pilgrims sacrificed their
hair to the goddess of the river. They
submitted hair and beard to the bar
Der, and in q few moments the tonso-
rial operation was performed. The
product of the harvest was then thrown
into the river, the donor being prom
ised q million years in paradise for ev-
cry hair thus sacrificed. Many were
content with this modest recOmpense,
and doubtless the prematurely bald
ones envied those whose locks were
thick and strong.
We made little circuit among the
tents, but found nothing there of special
interest. We advanced as near as
possible to the river, and barely es-
capped an accident; the sloping bank
was wet with the water which dripped
from the emerging bathers, and our
elephant slipped and partially fell. But
we were righted without accident, and

Quoted on modern principles, to get a
good practical education, and some of
the "finish," as well. As country set
ties, we find neighborhoods here
and there where q beginning is
made in the adornment of the house
and grounds. The example shown
is appreciated, and one and an
other takes up the idea, until at
length an entire neighborhood, as
means permit, build better barns and
dwellings and outhouses. Trees are
planted, vines cluster. about porches,
shrubs and foliage plants adorn the
lawn, flower beds here and there are
seen glowing with color, fence corners
are kept tidy. Inside the dwelling are
books, magazines, and the welcome ag-
ricultural paper, with the varied intel
lgeDce contained. There is an air of
cheerfulness and thrift everywhere,
evidence that the master, while looking
out carefully for the. everyday routine
of the farm, has an eye as well to the
intellectual wants of the household.
Such homes will never be found the
result of overworking the family, but
of wise alienation of labor and rec
reatiOn, each in its proper time and
place. The children of these homes
are contented to stay and be happy.
There is still room for Improvement in
this direction among the masses.
The season is now at hand when the
severer labors of the farm are past.
The great annual gatherings of the ag-
ricultural masses at our fairs is now in
its full tide of progress. Much may

Vegetables and Flowers.

WHILE we have no kind of sympathy
with the man who foolishly claims that
a pOtato-plant is as handsome as a
rosebush, or. with old DIR. johnson, who
thought the handsomest flower he ever
saw was a caulifower, we do think
there is beauty, and a good deal of
beauty, in neatly-kept vegetable gar
den and in well-grown vegetable, as
well as in thrifty orchard or garden
of small fruits. The fact is, all Ma
lures works are beautiful when not
marred by the foolishness or wicked
ness of men.
Few objects are really more pleasant
to look upon than field of corn, and
we have been in countries where no OBJ
ject created more attention than a
clump of corn among the tall plants on
the borders of the shrubbery-plants
that had been nursed in their early
stages with the greatest care in pots.
A good bed of fine large onions is no
mean object, while for fragrance they
hold their own against the world of
flowers. The potato is handsome in all
its stages, and especially SO when in
bloom. The purple-leaved beets are
exceedingly fine, and we have seen
them used in more than one country
for ornamental purposes. The finer
varieties of parsley, and the curled
kales are aspretty as any of the ferns,
and may often be used with fine effect
for ornamental purposes. Indeed, for
garnishing, they areinvaluable. Among
our ornamental pot plants there are
fouy thor 0v0o1 rr00H
plant we'll loaded with its curiously-
formed scarlet fruit, and we can we'll
remember when the tomato was used
for ornamental purposes alone.
A cucumber bed in early spring
everyone likes to see. The leaves are
so large and thrifty, and the flowers so
yellow. 1t is like a glimpse of sum-
mer. The lettuces, too, how refresh
ing and pleasant they look; and then to
take hold of a rough, green leaf and
find hidden in the earth a beautiful
scarlet radish.
There is beauty everywhere if we
will only look for it, and, while we
would like to persuade every farmer to
have a little flower garden for his own
good, and for the pleasure of wife and
children, we say if you cannot do this,
by all means have a vegetable garden;
grow everything well, keep all in per-
feet neatness, and health and happiness
will be secured, and you will soon rise
to the dignity of a flower garden.
Beauty is persistent and progressive,
and when once it gets a chance at a
man it never loses its hold.-VicE's ~
