Report of the Bureau of Education.

WASHINGTON Nov 2L-The Bureau of Edu-
cation is preparing report on art and industry
in institutions of public training 1t is replete
with practical knowledge which will form a basis
for these studies in public schools. The work
has been in preparation since 1874 and al
though some parts of it have been published, the
major portion of the contents is new, and has
been collected and edited with considerable
trouble and care. Much delay has been expert
enced in securing its publication. owing to insult
fciency of appropriations or its use in other
branches of the Interior Department
under which the Bureau of Education
is placed. The fundamental idea Of the work
is that universal teaching in all public schoo Is
of the elements of industrial drawing is an es-
sential part of any general system of public
education. The work contains report of the
system followed in English institutions and
those in other countries relating to technical in
structior and the history of the progress of in
dustrial and fine arts There are several orig
inal papers in the work, dealing with the advance
of this science and its probable effect as a text
book for school uses The matter however, is
not confined to art alone, but takes in the in
struction of agricultural colleges and traces the
relations of such studies to art culture The re-
port will be ready within three months.

THE LIGHTER VEIN.

The Chicago C~Srsat thinks the light vein comment of the AYaIaseAe upon the London explosions better than the mysterious and awful aspect which sensational papers are prepared 10 give every popgun explosion which will sell an extra ediiion.'' Thanks we are glad to have expert testimony con corning humorous remarks and we don't mind dropping into the lighter vein after at teading to the matter of an extra edition.- MtmpAis AvILaseAe.

 Mrs. Andrews rushed from the room. The young man sauntered lazily away. Stopping for a moment, he leaned on the gate, then with low hum, as though he were too lazy to sing, he crossed the road, climbed the fence and disappeared in the woods.
 Mrs. Andrews was a widow of several years experience. She had been a widow ever since old General Andrews was found dead in a New Orleans hotel. The old fellow was convivialist, and it was thought that his death resulted from the inability of his physical self to keep pace with his appetite. Mrs. Andrews, as the season for pitching" the crop had come, spent but little time in mourning. Rainy days, when the land was too wet to be plowed. she grieved gently, but when the sun shone, she was out among the hands, urging them to a vigorous dis charge of duty. Young Forester was known as the neighborhood failure" He had rollicked through college and spluttered through law course; had opened an office in the county town and had promptly closed it; had secured a position on a daily paper and had been dischs,ged-hsd done nearly everything to exhibit lack of stability, but had ac- complished nothing to exhibit purpose in life.
 Caroline Andrews was as Forester had said, an attractive girl. She was bright and original, and report said that she had been expelled from a boarding school for playing an embarrassing prank on maiden teacher. She and Forester fell in love with each other, the people said, on account of similarity of "tri. flingness."

As to the Pfes- byterians, my acquaintance is limited. My early impressions were that they were rather severe on the rising generation, and ordained a certain per centage of those brought into the world to a hot time after leaving it.

CHAPTER II.

When Forester reached home, or rather the farm house where he boarded |" on time," he went to his room, seated himself at table and began to write. The table was covered with manuscript and the floor was strewn with scraps of PaPeT-Tejected expressions Of thought.
 Some one entered the room and said that dinner was ready, but he paid no attention. Evening found him still seated at the table. He stopped long enough to light lamp, but disregarding summons to supper, he bent himself to his work. Late at night he turned down the light and went to bed, but unable to sleep he arose and went to work again. Occasionally he would scratch out a word-a line, and then, after finishing page, he would read it, tear it into little bits and throw it on the floor. When the sun came up and made the lamp. light look dim, he went to bed and slept until dinner time. After dinner he went over to the Andrews place. He found Caroline in the sitting room. Looking around, and seeing no one else, he kissed the girl.
