Lupin's merino stands as
high in all the markets Of the
world as Lupin's cashmere /;
but for some reason un.
known to us nobody else in
Philadelphia keeps a general
assortment of it. There is
no wholesale stock OF it in
the u. S. to draw from; and
nobody can get it without
order from Paris. But that
is no reason. Merinos is
wanted; Lupin's Of course.
The only reason we can see
for not keeping merino is
that ladies who want it will
generally take cashmere.
That's a very bad mercan-
tile rea son, in our opinion.
You want a merino dress,
or wrap, or baby cloak. You
ask a merchant for it. He
probably hasn't any; he may
have two or three two-year-
old colors, or black, too fine
or too coarse; not a mer-
chant in the city has twenty
colors and seven qualities
not one but Wanamaker.
No other house in the
country provides anything
like SO many colors and quail
ties and makes Of cashmere.
We sell more Of evening
colors alone than some Of the
largest houses sell of all;
more Of the costlier qua' es
than almost any other house
Of coarse and fine together;
more Of Lupin's, doubtless,
than anybody else OF all the
makes. But this wouldn't
be worth the saying, if the
reason we're not worth your
knowing, too. We have all
the colors in use, all the
qualities, and several makes.
The reason for having so
many is that people have
come to expect them here ;
they all want Lupin's; but
they are Letter satisfied with
what they get, if they see
others. 'rhere'd be no loss
to buyers, if we kept only
Lupin's cashmercs and meri-
nos, and no others; but peo-
pie wouldn't continue to be
satisfied with Lupin's even,
without constantlycomparfng
with others. And the only
way other makes can be sold
at all is by putting them a
trifle under Lupin's price. 1t
is not superhuous to keep
them.
We sell possibly a tenth as
much merino as cashmere.
1t costs a trifle more and
looks exactly the same; but
it is heavier, wears longer,
can be turned wrong side
out and made over. 1t is
two dresses in one. Per-
haps ladies are not generally
good enough economists to
buy two dresses in one.

KITCHEN AND GARDEN SCHOOL.

What is this new kind of SCHOOL,
some one asks. 1t is combination of
songs, exercises, and plays, designed
in a thoroughly practical way to train
a child in simple housework. 1t is
divided into six distinct parts or occu-
pations, each taking a month to mas
ter.
They comprehend the following de-
tails of domestic work: Kindling fires,
waiting on the door, bed-making,
sweeping and busting, completely az
ranging room with the manipulations
of broom, whisk-broom, feather-duster,
etc. Also all laundry processes, from
the preparation of the tubs to the deli
cacies of polishing and folding; scrub
bing, and laying the dinner-tabIe in
the due order of courses. In connec-
ton with this, a pricking lesson teaches
in kindergarten style, the parts of beef
and mutton, and how to cook and cut
each. Last of all comes the mud-pie
play. In this browning device of the
inventress Of the system, with mold
ing-clay as a substitute for dough and
pastry, the children knead bread, turn
tiny rolls, cut out biscuit, and make
pies.
All the lessons are enlivened and
emphasized with appropriate songs.
Thus, under loving guidance, with the
simple device of toy appliances for real
domestic apparatus, these children of
poverty acquire the order, precision,
and neatness essential to household
service. Here is the system: What
more is needed? Teachers. These
should be young ladies who will give
their services. They should enter up
on the work in the spirit of loving de-
sire to help poor little children.
For the preparation Of teachers Miss
Huntington has normal class at the
Wilson Mission, No. 125 St. Marks
place, New York City, once every
month, and there the ladies can learn.
If they live away from New York, Miss
Torrey, the associate normal class
teacher, will gladly go and teach a
class of twelve or more members. The
age of children in the regular classes
varies from 6 to 16. Those over y APP
preciate the lessons more than the
younger ones, and therefore are profit
ed more by them. Miss Huntington
has prepared two books. giving the
music, song, and outlines of the les
sons.-H0n1e journal.

What Dying Is.

TO leave the turmoil and the careful tu-
mutt,
And wander vaguely to a pleasant region,
Where green fields glow with sheen OF sum-
mer sunset
And narrow farther to a sylvan vista,
Whence issue sounds to soothe the spirits
trouble;
And young birds sing with diviner music,
And young birds carol with a lovelier music,
And evening winds that walk with fainter
football
Unto the white cloud and the bluer sky
depths
TO rest a little some green willow under,
Whose branches whisper in that shadow gar.
den,
And hold that hand which hath the tenderest
And touch sweet lips just as thine eyes are
closing;
This is that falling ere the sunsets fading,
This is that dying ere the morn immortal!
To see blue hooded viOlets reposing
Among the grasses twining to care6s thee
Ana kiss thy cheek, as if thou vert a sister,
And warm thee with their breath of heavenly
odor,
AS if thou vert to them indeed a sister.
To find some quiet in the willow vista,
Some little slumber in that shadow garden;
This is that evening of thy dreamless sleep
ing,
This is that sIumber ere the life immortal!
A gentle waking to new beauty,
gradual unfolding TO the soul life,
AS though a roses chrysalis transported
Into the blooming valley of that Eden;
A slow unfolding of an early blossom;
A little kneeling at the sapphire portals,
And cOnscfOusness of all Eurcease Of heart
ache,
Tumultuous tremor as the soul receiveth
The grander splendor of the spheral chorus
The joy which "passeth human understand
ing"
This is that coming of another morning,
This is the morning of the life immortal.

Mast and tie Harpers.

Speaking of Josh Billings reminds
me that his old chum, 9Th. Mast" is
III the dumps. The true inwardness of
Nast's trouble with George William
Curtis, editor Of Harper's Weekly, has
never come to light, but certain it is
that the worlds greatest cartoonist
finds no place for his sketches in the
paper his genius made famous. His
contract with the Harpers is for $10,-
900 a year for life, and he draws So, 500
every quarter with unfaltering regu-
larity. understand that he sends his
sketches to Harpers promptly every
Monday afternoon, and they are as
promptly put in a dark pigeon-hole.
The Harpers will not use them, nor
will they give up the contract, and
hence Artist Mast is in queer posi-
ton. He is now acting as secretary of
the Mann Boudoir Car company, with
an office on Cortlandt street, near
Broadway. His friends say he is I'M
happy and aging very fast Funny,
isn't it, that man with $4,000 a year
for life should be unhappy? If some
people had the earth, and it fenced in
with barbed wire, they would still be
unhappy. Chicago Ne10s.

Personal Cleanliness.

Bathing is conservative of health. but
all persons do not find it so. A cold
plunge bath is by no means panacea
Tor all human ills, as some seem to
think. An occasional wash from head
20 foot in winter. and bathing frequent
Iy in summer, may be considered
among the valuable agencies for pro-
noting health. But have known del
ieate people to be injured instead of
being benefited by cold bathing. For
most persons wet sponge passed rap
idly over the surface and followed soon
oy friction with q rough towel is bath
enough for health purposes. When a
cold bath is not followed by a good
surface glow, it is doing more harm
than good.

MANUAL TRAINING IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Supt. Seaver, of the Boston public
schools, says: Education through ap-
premiership TO trades has disappeared,
and the time has been filled up with
larger amounts of school-book instruc-
ton, and the consequence is that.
through lack of opportunity, the native
aptitude of many boys for handicraft
is quite ignored. There doubtless is
in our city boys an ample fund of la
tent mechanical ingenuity, which only
awaits proper treatment to bring it out
and lead its pOsseSsors to the right oc-
cupation for using it.
My hope is that public free school
| M tho nian of the school of mechanic
arts may be established in Boston. The
place for 1t in our system IS side by
side with the high school. This can be
done as soon as the taxpayers and their
representatives at City Hall see the
wisdom of it. Let it not be supposed
That the man<lal training proposed as n
apart of general education consists in
learning this trade or that trade, nor
yet in learning the fragmentary begin
nings of dozen trades; but rather
| skill and mastering tho fundamental
processes applicable in many trades
| For example, one who can use well the
common woodworking tools-the ham,
| mer, saw, plane, auger, chisel and try
squares ready to enter several diff
ferent trades with immediate advant-
age to himself, although he may not
yet have learned the special details of
any one of them.
Now, am sanguine enough to be-
live that the introduction of the manu-
al training element into school worn
would promote still more salutary
reform which seeks to abolish mere
nominal teaching and replace it by
real teaching, that is, Il teaching that
trains mental power rather than loads
the memory that fills the mind with
the solid merchandise of knowledge
and not with its empty packing cases.
The one branch OF our present school
instruction, most largely to be improv-
ed by Joining it with manual training,
IS drawing. Not many years ago draw
ing was made obligatory by statute.
The reason was that drawing was i'm
portant as a branch of Industrial edu~
cation, and industrial education was
much needed by the people-especially
by the people of cities. Well, drawing
has been introduced at great trouble
and expense, and in spite of no little
passive opposition. Is this expendi-
ture of money and effort justifedP
Yes, think SO. And the results salts
factory? No, not yet. And why? Be-
cause industrial education, through
drawing alone, is work only half done.
The other half, modelling, carving. any
thing having in it the constructive ele-
menthas hitherto been wanting. Define
alton and construction are two parts of
one whole; neither has full educational
value without the other. As work in
the chemical laboratory is needed
really to possess ones self of the
chemical knowledge which is only
symbolized in the formulas Of the
book, SO work at modelling and con-
structiOn is needed to give precision
and endurance to that knowledge of
forms which drawings merely symbol
ize
