Manual Training in the United
States.

The progress of manual training in
the United States during the last few
years has been very great, whether it be
considered from the standpoint of the
growth of public sentiment on the sub
ject, or from that of its introduction to
existing schools, public and private, and
the establishment of Independent
schools. 1t is in some form in certain
of the schools of twenty-five of the
States of the Union, and there are at
least forty educational institutions in
the country where it is made part of the
course of instruction. The character of
the schools into which manual training
has been introduced is varied. The
range is from the most noted colleges
and universities in the land to the public
schools of small Cities Charles II

Somebody, outside the garden. fuming,

They Took Seats.

Two Young Detroiters, who are ac-
quainted with country school-master
having a school about twenty miles from
the city, SAYS the Detroit Free Press,
were invited out to spelling school a
few nights since, and they took horse
and buggy and drove out. There was
large gathering of farmers, and an ex-
citing contest was looked for Just pre-
vious to the beginning of the exercises a
young fellow, whose head would have
bumped a six-foot mark, and whose
weight was about 160 pounds, called
one of the Deroiters aside and asked

queried a Montana man at the Mer-

is one of the biggest cattlemen, not only
in Colorado, but in the world His
cattle-and there are a good many of
them, too-are all branded with three

Joel G. Harris.

Joel G.. Harris, the famous humorist
of the Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution, has
had strangely romantic career. His
father was missionary, and it was at
the small town of Boog-hia, on the
southern coast of Africa, that Joel was
born. He was educated by his father,
and is profound Sanscrit scholar, be-
sides being thoroughly vsrsed in He
braic and Buddhist literature. Just be-
fore the civil war he emigrated to
America, and taught school in a village
near Lake Teeteelootchkee, Fla. There
he fell in love with Sallie o. Curtis,
daughter of a wealthy planter, and soon
was engaged by Col. Curtis as private
tutor. The parents made no objection
to their daughters choice of husband,
but the war came on before the mar
riage could take place, and so Col. Curtis
and Mr.. Harris went away to the war.
The colonel lost all his property during
the strife, and at the battle of Columbia,
S. c., grapeshot tore his leg into
shreds. When the war closed Miss
Sallie died of yellow fever, and Mr..
Harris became the support and comfort
of the manned sire of his dead sweet
heart The two yet live together in a
vine-covered cottage near Atlanta. Mr..
Harris is hardly 40 years of age, but his
snoW-white hair tells the sorrow of his
life. He Is noted for his generosity, his
amiability, and his tenderness.

Stop the churnipg while the butter is
still in granular form, wash with cold

Push or Being Pushed.

AS We have said repeatedly, there is
nothing IN the world like energy. Il
order to succeed, it is required that the
aim in view ne pursued with unwaver-
ing determination. 1t is the persistent
effort to advance which we commonly
designate by the term push A business
man without push might as well shut
up shop and save his money, for sooner
or later he viii. be swamped by the ire
sistible onward rush of progress.
Quite different. however, from this
faculty of push, eXerted in a particular
direction for individual advancement,
is the being pushed by others. He who
is awake to his own interests, who is
possessed of push, needs no pushing
from others, and on the other hand, no
amount of pushing will benefit the weak
and the laggard. Constant spurring
will only induce stubbornness and sulki-
ness, and we all know how the mule
will act if urged against his will.
We believe that he who does not feel
that diligence and earnestness and a
constant striving for improvement (be
it in his own business or in that of
another, if he is not his own mastery
will pay best in the end, cannot be
brought to it by compulsion.
CompUlsion, force, driving, moreover,
is unworthy Of the spirit of our age.
Let him who will not move his arms
and legs to keep himself afloat 90 to the
bottom, the sooner the better 1t is a
deed of charity to such a being and in
the best interests of others.
We have no patience with men who
are like dumb, driUe11 cattle and who
work solely because they must have
their earnings in order to fill the stom-
ach, whose chief prayer is
"Come day, go dfs,
God send pay day"
They are not men, but machines, and
in the case of machines we expect a
certain amount OF work from the expen-
diture of certain amount of fuel, and
we take steps to get it. But man, be
he employer or employe, will do his
BEST what he may lack to-day, he will
make up tomorrow. He will have push,
but will object to being pushed.
Push is absolutely a requisite in this
world; pushing is unnecessary, and
may result in the very opposite of that
which it was intended to accomplish

PIucIy Little Aztec Lad.

One day, at the American legation, a
bright little lad of q dozen years came In
with some letters while / sat talking with
the charge, in the absence of Minister
Jackson. The boy was SO polite, so
prompt, so spirited that he attracted my
attention, for saw he was an Indian and
was, in this position, quite emancipated
from the awful frown and sense of superb
ority of the dark-brown Spaniard-a new
order of being.
YES" said the charge, that boy was
barefooted, or at least wearing sandals
little time ago, and almost naked. He
was employed to feed furnace in ma
chine shop, but one day he was found sit
ting behind wood pile with a pencil and
an old envelope in his hands. The master
demanded to know what he was doing.
The lad answered that the furnace
was full of wood, and he was trying to
learn to write with what spare time he
had"
To make a long story short, this little
Mexican lad had picked up a pencil, and
then by copying the names of his employer
and others which he found about the shop
on old envelopes, he had already learned
to write good hand. He was promoted
to be gate-keeper, and is now the little
man who takes the letters of the American
minister to and from the postof1ice; and
even takes money to and from the bank.
"Steal,"
The charge was indignant. "I could not
even get the boy to lie for all the gold in
Mexico
So you see, our legation in Mexico is do
ing solid good. 1t has lifted at least one
human being up to the high level of soul
equality. And this is much more than l
ever knew any other American legation
to achieve, or even ndertake.-Joaquin

The South During the War.

1t will be surmised that the south was
almost stripped of the luXures of life to-
ward the close of the struggle. This is a
mistake. Adventures were all the time
running the blockade. There was nothing
that our society ladies could not buy if
they were willing to pay the price. We
had no dudes in those days, but young
men who wanted stylish rig had no
trouble in getting it. No doubt many of
the articles smuggled through came from
Yankeedom instead of from England and
France. Some of the wide-awake brethren
on the other side of the line operated a
double schedule They took federal con-
tracts and on the sly supplied the Confed-
crates for heavy cash consideration. We
even had the time and inclination to snug
gle books through the lines. Les Miser-
ables, for instance, came through and
Vice President Stephens and other leading
men read the New York or Philadelphia
edition long before the Richmond publish
ers issued it in five little brown paper GOV,
cred volumes. If literature could run the
blockade, it goes without saying that any
thing could.-Atlanta Constitution.
