One great object of the school Is to
foster higher appreciation of the value
and dignity of Intelligent labor. and
the worth and responsibility Of labor
ing men. A boy who secs nothing In
manual labor but mere brute force,
despises both the labor and the laborer.
With the acquisition Of skill in himself,
comes the ability and willingness to
recognize skill In his fellows. When
once he appreciates skill In handicraft,
he regards the workman with sympathy
and respect. Report Of the Toledo

The Florida Orange.

An enthusiastic correspondent of the
Iowa State Register, now on his first
visit to Florida, writes:

She shamed the burglar.

One night lately at the Home Of the
Mcrciful Savior for Crippled Children,
between the hours OF ] and ?, Sister
Sarah was aroused by hearing chair
fall over below stairs. Hastily putting
on her wrapper, lamp In hand. she do
scendcd 10 the parlor. Her first glance
revealed an open window ut the back
part of the room. A small part Of the
parlor Is curtained off, The curtain
was parted. and Sister Sarah thought
it moved. Approaching 1t, she found
herself face TO face with a white man,
tall and stout. Fixing her eyes upon
him, she said: "The Chinese have a
saying that to some men hearts have
been given, aud to some gizzards. You
must be one who has a gizzard instead
Of q heart. And with look Of scorn
she continued: "You have come to o

Interesting to Anna Dickinson.

A recent writer in an English Jour
nal has plucked out ofth heart of"Ham-
lett .Hamlet's' mystery by declaring
him TO be woman in disguise. The
reasons for such belief are soberly set
forth. His parents concealed his sex
from motives of ambition; this is one
of the foul crimes of which the
ghost speaks. That ''Polonius" knows
the secret. accounts for "Hamlet's"
dislike for him, and for his own repug-
nance to match with "Ophelia. "
It Is this secret to which Hamlet"
alludes in his dying words. There are.
too, innumerable isolated passages
Illustrative Of "Hamlet's' timidity,
his adherence of war, his disgust at
the table excuses of his time, and
other feminine peculiarities. On all
these grounds, and others equally valid
the writer bases his theory"

Dressed for the CharAdo.

Peterson's Ladies' National Maya
zine for February, which is at hand,
has for its front piece steel engraving,
taken from life, entitled "Dressed for
the charade." The two children repre-
scented are from Dallas. The girl, little
Fannie, is the daughter of Mr.. d. G.
Oppenhelm, and Tommy, the son of MIR.
Thomas Meirs, both OF this city. They
were trained by Mrs. Charles Benton
of the opera-house and appeared in the
operetta of Aladdin, presented here sew
eral months since. In commenting
upon the engraving, the editor of the
magazine has the following to say:
"DREssED FOR THE CHARADE."-Our
principal engraving this month is, we
think, one OF the most charming we
Lave ever published. The engraver,
however, has made slight mistake
in its title. 1t is a picture of real
event-in fact, of two little ones,
zach only years old, ~
they appeared in the opera-house in Dali
las, Texas, before an audience of 6,0OO
people, and sang the song entitled,
Juvenile Courtship," in the operetta of
Aladdin" 1t was, of course, in private
theatricals, and not AS puolic perform
ers. We are indebted to friend in
Dallas for this pretty picture. She
writes: al have been a reader of your
mag for over fiji, cen years, and the
FIRST thing look for when 1t arrives is
the steel engraving. l send you pic
ture from life, which thousands OF peo-
pie in this city pronounce as fine as
anything they have ever seen, and
which, | think, would make an attrac-
tive plate for your magazine"

A Dairyman Robbed.

j. Swami, dairyman, halted his
milk wagon in front Of the Glen Lea sa-
loon yesterday evening about dusk and
went in to see if any of the tactical fluid
was wanted. He was gone scarcely a
minute, but when he returned he found
his cash box containing about $40 in
change ana n number of tickets gone.
The thief could not have gotten far with
the box and he looked up and down the
streets for him, yet in vain, for nowhere
was he To be seen. Swami was irritated
By 1t and looked in the stores for block
around for the thief, but to no purpose.
And now no does not know but that he
may measure out many a gallon of the
tactical on those stolen tickets. That is
whaG frtts him.

Work of an Incendlary.

Yesterday morning about 2:30 o'clock
a most dastardly attempt was made to
burn the residence of Mrs. Anna Spru-
ell, one-story frame, situated on the
corner of Houston and Columbia streets,
but fortunately the work of the incendi-
airy was discovered in time and the
flames were eXtinguished, or else the
house would have burned and she her
self would have met horrible
death, as she is confined to her bed
by violent attack of fever
and is unable to move. Mr.. James
Wright, neighbor, discovered the
flames and gave the alarm, and by the
time he and other neighbOrs arrived on
the SCENE they found The flames, which
were in 4 rear room, under full head
way. They succeeded, however, in ex-
tinguishing the flames. Mrs. Spruell
was suffering yesterday from The severe
nervous shock she had sustained. Who
the person is that could be so barbarous
Is not known, though she has her sus-

The police have taken the matter in
charge, and the affair will no doubt be
duly Investigated by the grand jury.
