A Testamentlry Curiosity.

In 1877 man who died in Berlin
leaving behind him fortune of $4,000
marks, surprised all who knew him by
devising that 1000 marks should 90 to
the authorities of his native place, and
that the remainder should be divided be-
tween nine relatives and friend with
whom he had quarreled, the share of
any one of the legatees becoming forfeit
diff he followed the testator to the grave.
His relatives religously obeyed the dead
mans decree, but the estranged friend,
remembering old times, could not refrain
from going quietly to the church-yard
and paying his last respects to the de-
ceased. By and by codicil came to
light directing that if any one OF the ten
Ie9atees under the will should disobey
the injunction regarding the last cere-
mony he was to receive the bulk of the
money left to the testator's town, and
thanks to the shrewd device, the man
who thought more of his old friendship
than his old friends money found him
self comfortably provided for for the rest
of his life. Chambers Journal.

Industrial Education in the Public
Schools.

There is growing feeling among the
students of industrial problems that our
whole conception of education in gen.
eral, and of industrial training in par
ticular, needs revision and enlargement
This feeling is based upon such easily
observed facts as the following:
l. Paupers are on the increase.
2. Our schools too often educate their
pupils out of harmony with their envir-
onmcnt, thus iustifying the charge that
education falsely SO calIed) units its
possessors for useful industry.
3. The simpler and less important po-
sitons in the worlds workshop are as a
rule greatly overcrowded, while in the
upper stories there is vast amount of
unoccupied space.
4. The work done in the lower stories
is often exceedingly shabby.
5. Many who aspire to the upper stor-
les fail to enter-or, if they apparently
enter, soon end in failure
g. The chosen few who truly enter,
and build up magnificent industrial fab
RIGS, with the splendid fortunes which
such fabrics imply, fail to educate their
CHllulcH W GAIL VII lllCiI SoOu "oih ~, VI
to do work of similar value in some 9TH
er department of useful industry.
Z. A whole community of prosperous
workmen may be well-nigh reduced to
beggary by the incoming of some new
invention, or by change in the fortunes
or tastes of consumers.
s. When old industries are swept away
and new ones established on the wrecks,
there is usually little power on the part
of workmen to adapt themselves to the
new conditions.
4. The relentless law of the survival
of the shrewdest and most INSCRIPTIONS,
instead of the Christian law of mutual
consideration and cooperation, too gen
orally prevails among individuals and
all kinds of human organizations.
That all education should be industrial,
and that everybody should be industrially
educated, we believe to be perfect
ly tenable proposition.-Prof II. II.

ONLY Il BABY.
Only little half-worn shoe
Nothing more;
Only ragged, broken doll
On the floor.
Only little, empty bed,
Smooth and white;
Only pair of blue eyes hid
From the light,
Only two busy little hands
Idle now;
Only no little voice TO ask
Why or how.
Only tiny golden curl
Where only Mothers eyes shall look
Day by day.
Only one little prayer the less
At twilight;
Only no little face to kiss
Every night.
Only one little name to sob
Ger and Ger;
Only one little form to clasp
NevermOre.
Only a little grave to tell
She is dead;
Only little lily set
At her head.
Only little snow-white stone
With her name,
Dates to tell US when she left us,
When she came.
Only mem'r y vanished quite
From the Earth.
Save the memry in her heart who
Gave her birth.
Only this was her little life,
This her death
A short, sweet fragrance, fieeting soon
Like a breath.
