An English Sale OF Shares.

A few days ago remarkable sale was
held of shares in the New River Water
Company-the oldest undertaking Of
the Kind in England. One half of q
kings share and smaller portions
of other Kings shares were up at
auction together with twenty f100
shares of new issue, The liking
shares are freehold properly, and are
passed by deed like land When James
]. assisted the founder, Sir Hugh Mid
dleton, with funds TO complete his
great undertaking, moiety of the en-
tire concern, divided, for the purpose
of this arrangement, into seventy-two
equal parts or shares, was assigned 10
the King, and subsequently this moety,
or thirty-six shares, was reassigncd TO
the company in consideration OF an an
nual payment of $500 forever The
present income Ct the shares so COM
muted was last year 1912, 600. In TWEEN
" years the dividend per share has
risen from fS76 TO f2,54l, and the
company's income from E2l0.000 TO
E473, 900. At the sale the property was
divided into eighty-three lots, the
kings shares being sold in fractions
Of one-hundredths, one-hundred and
siXtieths, .sixtieths, and one-hundred
and ninety-seeonds. They realized at
the rate Of about f9l 900 for an entire
share. The new issue of shares Of fl00
each brought 1856 apiece, and the en-
tire proceeds of the sale, which extended
over three days, amounted TO upward
of EGO, 000.--Lo,adon Cor. Philadelphia

Educate the Hand.

The head of the American youth.
male and female, has been too long
educated at the expense of the hand.
1t is about time this sort of thing should
stop if the claim of the Yankee that he
is nothing if not practical is to be in
future anything more than an idle
boast.
Let it not be understood that what
is yulgarly known as ''book learn
ingp is 10 be despised or neglected;
il ought not TO be and must not
be; the more of it the better. But
in these days of concentration of
wealth and capital, of production by
great corporations, the proportion Of
those who work for wages is constantly
growing larger. Agricultural independ-
ence is being encroached upon by in
dustrial dependence, and how to use
his hands in the coming battle of life
is now, more than ever before, becom-
ing the serious question for every
American boy
Industrial or manual education, then,
is destined TO become feature of the
education afforded by our public
schools. Geometry and jack plane
are no more incompatible than that
delightful study and blackboard.

Is, make with their hands, aided by
proper tools the conditions Of their
problems. Even text books would be
doubly interesting if some Of the schol-
airs would spend time enough in .
printing Office 10 learn how it was
made, and be able TO describe the pro-
cess intelligently.
There is not a blacksmith shop in
the country but should have two or
three boys in it part of the summer
vacation, if for nothing more than to
consider whether they should like the
business; not carpenter shop but
should tolerate few school boys in it
now and then. that they may learn how
to drive a nail correctly; and so on
throughout the trades. Division Of
labor, which has come with the intro
ducfion of machinery, while good and
necessary thing. is derelict in that it
has nothing in the place of the appren-
tice system which it has destroyed.
Let the school and the workshop co
operate in every community in the coun-
try, and the union of text books and
tools viii be contaminated in a surpris-
ingly short time with beneficial results.

turn all schools into workshops; that
would be as unfortunate as the present
state Of affairs, which is all books and
no tools.
Thoughtful men interested in educa-
tional matters are not neglecting these
phases Of instruction for youth. In this
city the institute of technology is not an
experiment, il is an institution. Its
methods duly modified are applicable to
a country high school. 1t does not in
the least interfere or obstruct the CLASH
cal education which distinguishes the
neighboring university at Cambridge.
Its school of mechanic arts admits boys
as young as fifteen Several schools
for manual education are already started
in New York. ST. Louis boasts of one
of the best in the country. One Of the
most significant signs of the times is a
recent circular of the Carriage Build
ers' National Association which has es-
tablished in New York school for the
advancement of technical knowledge
among apprentices and mechanics of the
carriage trade. Why should not every
trade have like association for like
purposep-Aining Gasehe.

Gold Separator.

Roy Raber and Win. Wright returned
last Sunday from the mining regions on the
lower Alsea where they had been to test the
practicability of a machine for separating
the fine gold from black sand. The ma
chine was intended to blow the black sand
over quicksilver with the intention that the
fine gold would be held fast in the quick
silver which the sand would pass by. The
difficulty however was found to be that the
wind when strong enough to operate the
machine blew much of the sanl away which
never came in contact with the quicksilver.
They had long walk and were tired when
they arrived home.

Attempted Jail Break.

The Telegram Of Saturday had the fol
lowing in regard to an attempt to break
Jail at Portland. At the time the Jail con-
tanned IS prisoners: s'For several nights
noises have been heard in the Jail that led
to the belief that some one was trying to
saw his way out, but the place of the work
could not be located. A little after
o'clock this morning Charles Schram, who
is making up the city assessment roll,
walked into the assessors office to begin
work, and was astonishe,l to feel part of the
floor give way under HIM, one foot and leg
breaking through into the space just over
cell 2, of the inside corridor. 1t was in
stantly apparent to him that some one had
been working from underneath the floor,
and an alarm was given. An examination
of cell 2 showed that the prisoners had cut
through the ceiling in exactly the same
place that Bill Baker got through about a
year ago. The morter had not got thor
oughly hard, and after digging one or two
bricks the others could be easily pulled out.
Between the top of the cell and the floor OF
the assessors office there is an open space
of two and half feet. Into this place a
man had climbed, and with a knife had
patiently cut into the flooring, removing
over foot each from three boards, making
hole hardly large enongh for the passage
of a man, and requiring for that purpose the
removal of one more board width. The cut.
ting was done ON slant, so that the TOP
side of the boards fitted exactly ia their
places, Morning had probably come when
the third board was cut through, and the
fourth was reserved for tonight, when the
escape would be made. An underpinning
was fixed under the cut boards, to prevent
their coming down when stepped on, but
Schram happened to step on one side Of the
support, throwing the boards off their bal
ance, and betraying the secret. Under the
hole were founl a piece of candle, two bro
ken case knives and whet stone. Most of
the cutting must have been done with an
other knife, however, aud it has been hiden
by the prisoners.
