of a philanthropist. In practice 100 lbs of
flour will make 1873 to 1877 lbs. of bread; so
that a sack of $50 lbs should yield 95 four
pound 1oaves. The guile of the baker is
shown by increasing the number, and this is
most commonly effected by the addition Of
gummy mess of boiled rice, which enables
him to increase his out-turn by five per cent.
Such bread quickly gets mouldy and on a
warm day will not keep sweet twelve hours.
A Louisville colored man who has been in
New Orleans during the last few months has
been looking about to see how the colored
people stand there. He reports that their
status is somewhat mixed. Many of them
are skilled workmen. The Pickwiek club
house was built entirely by the hands of col
on ed men, They are admitted to trades
unions-typogra carpenters, brick
layers, etc. They are represented on the
police The State National Guard includes
several eolored companies. In the fwhite)
professions on Mardi Gras and the Fourth
of March the Louisvillian counted eleven
bands of co1ored musicians. Colored FIRE
men and brakemen are plenty on the rail-
roads. A few colored clerks and statesmen
are employed in "white stores" For eoI-
ored population of $4,000 there are forty
churches, seven schools, no hotel, but
great many, too many barrooms and gam
bling shops. He says further: The colored
man, if he can furnish such goods as they
use, is well patronized by the best class of
whites, but the best colored trade goes to
the whites, as it does everywhere. While
they are well treated by the better class of
whites, they ostracised with emphasis in
every place of resort and amusement No
respectable hotel, restaurant, saloon, bar
room or soda fountain is open to them, no
matter how wealthy or refined they may be.
In this respect the prejudice is very strong
here, but it is kept up by the lower class of
whites, especially of the northern type.
White help is abundant here, and it is most
ly from the North. These northern white
cooks and walters have a union here, and no
negroes can join il, nor will they work in a
house or boat where colored help is en-
pIoyed if they can HELM it,

AN INTERESTING EXPERIMENT.
The Philadelphia board of education has
begun an experiment the working of which
will be watched with interest in all the ci-
ties of the country This is the manual
training school, of which Lieutenant Robert
Crawford of the United States navy has been
chosen director. Lieutenant Crawford is
well fitted for his position, having been an
instructor in the same department at the
naval academy at Annapolis, and also at the
Spring Garden Institute in Philadelphia
William L. Sayer, who is principal of one of
the grammar schools of Philadelphia, has
been chosen principal of the new school.
The plan Of work in the new school has
been made public. Daily sessions will be
held lasting from 9 a.. m. to $3.50 p. M,
with half hoir Intsrmissibn at neon Two
hours daily are devoted to study and reeita=
ton, one hour to drawing and two hours to
shop practice. Boys are admitted from the
twelfth grade of the grammar schools on the
certificate of the principal that they have
finished the studies of that grade and wish
to be promoted to the manual training school,
and proper examination ef their attain
ments. The number of pupils promoted is
necessarily limited, but all the grammar
schools are treated alike-that is, the num-
Der from any schoolwill be the pro rata of
the number that pass the examination to the
whole number that can be received. The
studies are about the same as those pursued
in the High school.
The shop work to be done in this school
includes carpentry and jjoiinefy wood csrving,
wood turning, pattern making, forging,
Welding, tempering, soldering, brazing, mold
ing, casting, bench work and fitting, turn
ing, drilling, planning, screw cutting, etc..
study of the steam engine, including proper
management and care of engines and boilers,
stone work and masonry. Instruction will
also be given in Che properties Of materials,
such as wood, iron, brass, clays; stone; wool,
cotton, etc.
This looks like very sensible and practi-
cal plan. 1t is evident that if manual train
ing is to become part of Common school
education" it will have to be given in some
such way as is proposed IN Philadelphia.
But little that is useful can be accomplished
in the grammar schools.

A decision which has just been given by
Judge Albright, of Pennsylvania, is of great
interest to workmen in factory towns and
manufacturing communities. 1t is custom
ary throughout the mining districts of Penn
sylvania to pay the operatives in store orders.
A miner in one of the hamlets near Pittsburg
objected and demanded cash. This was re-
fused and he brought suit against the COM
pany. The case was decided on appeal in
favor of the miner. Judge Albright, who
rendered the decision, ruled that the custom
ary store orders:.were not wages, and the men
who receive them can collect full pay from
the company that gives out such orders. He
claims that every company that employs men
must either pay the wages agreed upon in
cash at the end of every month or give inter
est bearing notes that can be converted into
cash at the banks without discount. The
men must get all the money for which they
hire. Any percentage scheme which the
companies make with the tradesmen by
which workmen are given goods instead of
money is Illegal.
Mr. Arnold White charges in the Contem-
porary Review that Mr. Bright's declaration
that aduIteratien is form of competition
has lulled to rest the consciences Of many

few instances: Legalizing the sale of a mix

Barbaric splendor of the scenes in Aida
and L Africaine seemed repeated as the glo-
rious panorama of blossoming prairie un-
rolled day after day. Can you picture to
yourself ten acres of portulaca? or whole
hillsides curtained with what seems superb
variety of wistaria, except that it grows on
stalk instead of hanging from vines Do
you know how it feels not to be able to step
without crushing a flower, SO that the little
prairie-dogs, sitting contentedly with their
intimate friends, the owls, on the little heaps
of earth thrown up around their holes, have
every appearance of having planted their
own front yards with the choicest floral vari
cites? Think of driving into great field of
sunhowers, the horses trampllng down the
tall stalks that spring up again behind the
carriage, SO that one outside the field would

Of reach as you sit on horseback, and tall
hedge of them grown up as barrier between

We ought to know by this time
that low enough prices will sell

confess we did not think SO
many books could be sold at
this time of year.
We wish to say just word or
two more about it. The thing
will swing along now. without
advertising, because people have
got to speaking about it. What
we want to say is this: The
booksellers have met our ad0er-
tzsed brlces on two or three
books, as we expected they
would. That is what the peo
pie want, isn't it? AS yet, how
ever, it doesn't amount to any
thing-not to one book in
hundred. So far the benefit of
competition can only be got by
buying here. BY the way, we
omitted to say in our last adv
that the stock of books now put
in is many times larger and
more varied than we ever
showed at Christmas time-we
think at least six times as large.
