Literature and Manual Ar.J.

The mercantile and professional class
es are fundamentally necessary to the
best interests Of the organism. What
society is personally interested in, is not
the development of any class, but rath-
err the getting of the good citizen con-
tributing his best thought to the good
of all. irrespective of any class in which
he may have been born, or in which ho
may labor; and the good citizen can
come as well from the labor employ
ments as any other. The good citizens
secured by attaching the individual to
the knowledge, to the thought, of the
race. But knowledge is not confined to
literature, science or philosophy. Lam
guage Is an important, but not the only,
key to knowledge. The thought Of the
race that has been expressed through
the skilled hand in labor in the arts is
not inferior to what has been expressed
by language. The manual arts no less
than literature embody the culture Of
the race. Public education should know
no classes. 1t should aim to so dispense
the fundamental elements OF knowledge
as to open the doors to the social acqui.
sitions OF the race, whether In literature
or the arts, to all, irrespective Of per-
sons. This, public education does not
do now. 1t exalts the language EN-.
Payments. 1t degrades the labor EN-.
Payments by ignoring them. The
practical conclusion to DO drawn from
our present education Is, that the person
capable Of living by his wits, by the use
Of language is a better and more hon
orable citizen than one who contributes
to, the permanent welfare Of the CON-
munity by the skillful work OF his
hands. It Is my belief that the way to
benefit our working classes is to try and
make them better, more productive
workmen; to aid them in increasing the
wage-earning power of their labor by
putting more thought into 1t; and to this
end I would have our schools honor
thought expressed by tho skilled hand,
~ well as thought oppressed by Ian.

The Vassar girls do not allow them
selves to be beaten by their faculties. They
are resolute, selt-contained and full of ex-
pedients. In former years just before COM
mencement the junior class has given the
senior class 90 excursion on the steamboat
Mary Powell, and the gay times they bad
always made an item of news for the pa
pers. This year the faculty forbade the
usual excursion, and the college girls were
greatly incensed thereat. They submitted,
of course, but we're not beaten. They sim
ply made other arrangements and com
mittee secretly carried them out. The car,
riages drove up as in other years, and the
girls got in and were driven to the house o.
one of their professors Backus--who has
resigned his chair at Vassar, to become the
principal of another institution of learning
The girls had engaged the West Point band
and the whole surprise party, band and all
tumbled in at once upon the professor ant
his wife, and there was feasting in thu
house and dancing on the green all day
long. At 10 p. M. the girls were driver
back to the college Satisfied with their new
way of making holiday and getting init

Distributing the SurpluS Revenue.

A correspondent of the ". Y.TriJune,
who remembers receiving as 4 girl from
her father the surplus revenue Of the
National Treasury, desires to know in
what way Congress distributed the sur.
plus, how much there was of it, etc.
In June, 1886, a law was passed pro.
viding that the surplus remaining in
the Treasury on January !, 1887, above
$500 coo, should be deposited with
the States in four quarterly install
ments in proportion to their represcn-
taton in Congress, subject to recall un-
der certain conditions in case of ne
ccssity. Three instalments, aggrega.
ting S2S,000,000, were thus deposi-
ted, but owing to change of senti-
ment and a decreasing revenue, the
fourth instalment was first postponed
and finally withheld by Act Of Con-
gress. "Some of the States" says Mr.
Wharton Barker in pamphlet lately
published on the distribution of the
National surplus, FUSED their shares

Oddities In Fur.

Some there are, with an abundance
OF wealth and a thirsting desire for
novelty, who indulge their taste in
oddities. A wealthy New Yorl; lady
last season wore full set of furs OF
leopard skin, and not to be outdone,
one of her neighbors secured similar
set of tiger skins, and since then both
OF these furs are in moderate use
The tiger skin rose in price, and one
season about two years since the mar.
kct was completely exhausted. Some
gentlemen wear vests of this skin, thus
following the eccentric style adopted
many years ago by the far-famed Gen.
eral Sam Houston, of Texas.
Our common wild cat is much used,
being handsome fur at moderate pri-
ces. AS for skunk skins, in Europe
they are readily sold for trimming
mutfs and dresses, but here they must
receive a new christening before being
used to any considerable extent. Some
times they bear the name of the Aus,
tralian mink, at others, any name to
suit the fashion.
The fur of the house cat is much
used-black, white, Maltese and tor
toise-shell having the preference. Last
year the fur of over 100000 house
cats was used by the trade.
Monkey skins are by no means over.
looked, and 1900 skins were used last
season by furriers. The fur of the
Abyssinian Diana and black monkeys
are preferred, they being mostly used
in trimming. In the trimming of gar
ments ofttimes Almost homogeneous set
of animals are made to harmonic.
For instance, monkey skunk and cats
are all side by side in atrimming known
only TO purchasers as IIoang IIo seal.
The skins of rats, mice, dogs, oppos-
sum, kangaroo and bay lynn are sal
able, the latter finding much use in
mulfs and boas. The coon hair finds
special favor in Germany, where it is
made into hats. Hair of the OK and
calf is used in the imitation of wooden
goods. Our skunk, white backed and
striped, is in Germany dyed and made
up into mulls and boas, and so dis

muskrat skins were collected last year,
and $4,000 American bear skins and
the same number of buffalo robes were
used. Every year there are used
100000 rabbit skins, 100000 sQuir-
rel, 3,O00,0 900 lamb, and there is scarcely
an animal that has hair but what is
used in some way. The beaver sacques
