Manual Training for Every Child.

Superintendent MacAlister writes the.
the conviction obtains among the mem
bers of the board of education of Phil
dclphia, and is, in his opinion. growing
in the public mind generally, that every
child should receive manual training;
that complete education implies the
training of the mind, and that this
feature must ultimately be incorporated
into the public education. He concludes:
Il feel encouraged to go forward with
the work. The great principles which
underlie the system are with me intense
convictions, and they mean nothing less
than a revolution in education. The new
system is the realization of the dream of
every great thinker and reformer in edu-
cation, from Comenius, Locke and Rous-
seau to Postalozzi, Froebel and Spencer.
Ny conviction and action in connection
with this movement are based upon
what, in my judgment, should constitute
an education designed to prepare a
human being for the social conditions Of
to-day, and not merely for the industrial
demands of our time. And this must he
realized in the public schools, or they
will fail in accomplishing the ends for
which they were instituted and are
maintained. ."-Harper's Magazine.

A Covenant with the Animals.

There is something in the nature of a
covenant with the animals that do our
work and supply our tables and cover
our limbs. 1t is not only that they die
for us; they have ever lived for us, and
but for us they would never have been.
Nor is it consistent with civilized ideas
to parade the unchanged exterior of the
animals we are obliged to use. w,
clothe our extremities with skins, but 50
changed as never to suggest the sleek CT
agile forms they once covered. Wo
fleece sheep for our clothes, but nothing
is less like flock Of sheep than a crowl
of men. The cowhide, telling its own
tale, has long disappeared from even tho
trunk shop and has become a curiosity
on a railway platform.
Well, but how about ladies' muifs AMI
sealskin jackets? Civilization must con-
fess to them and leave the fair sex to
speak for itself. No doubt the lions skin
became Hercules. and the custom has
long since assimilated to our taste the
most outlandish creatures gracefully dis
posed over fair form. But there is no
needless parade, or at least, so little that
we do not notice it. 1t is not so with
the assumption of plumage. The poor
bird is exhibited as whole as possible.
Head, wings and tail are all shown as
faithfully and fully as those of tho
hawk nailed to barn door. But the
most foolish fashion can always exceed
itself, and, bad as thing may be, there
is worse.-London Times.

Disadvantages OF Our Handwriting.

We have a right-handed writing to be
written, with centrifugal motion, in one
direction, across the page from left TO
right, writing which taxes the weak
muscles Of the hands, and which takes
four or five times as long as is necessary
for the representation Of a word, as is
shown by stenographers, who write as
fast as person can speak. In view Of
the increase of writer's cramp due to the
extraordinary amount of writing to be
done by bookkeepers, book-writers,
teachers, and savants, it was suggested
that a new method of writing should be
intelligently discussed and one inaugur-
ated that should be less elaborate, less
taxing upon the small and weak muscles
Of the hand; handwriting in which the
letters can be formed as in photography,
disconnected, not requiring such precise
and complicated motions to make them
legible, and which can be written from
above downward, from right to left OF
left to right. as one may choose. e.--Detroit

lsei,gious lsiisT Of the Astecs.


The Aztecs believed there were throe
places assigned as abodes for departed
spirits. Women who died in childbirth
and soldiers who perished in battle or
captivity went to the House Of the Sun,
where they enjoyed endless delight.
AT morning they hailed the luminary
with music and dancing, attended him
in his journey to the meridian. where
they met the spirits of women, and with
similar festivities accompanied him to
setting" After years of these pleasures
their spirits were transformed into clouds
or birds of beautiful plumage and pleas
ant song, but had always power to
ascend at will to Heaven-the House of
the Sun. The notion of aristocracy was
carried to the other world; for while
kings and mobiles animated gorgeous
birds and dazzling clouds, and floated
through the purest atmosphere, the souls
of common people were doomed to crawl
eternally in weasels, beetles and tho
meaner animals.
The spirits of those who were drowned,
or struck by lightning, or who died of
wounds, dropsy and similar diseases,
with the souls of children who had been
sacrificed to Tlaloe, the god of waters
went to delightful place, called Tlalo-
can, where that god resided, surrounded
by everything which could contribute to
immortal happiness. The thira place Of
departed souls was Mietlan, or hell, q
kingdom of total darkness, ruled by an
evil god and goddess, where their only
punishment was the gloomy blackness OF
the realm, cheered by never ray from
sun or moon nor the glimmer of star.
The ancients located this hell in tho
center of the earth, and it may have
been but type Of total annihilation.-

1T is To be hoped that at no distant
day there will be established by law,
in this territory, an institution for the
care and. reformation of those unfor-
tunate classes of people who are on the
road to destruction. We refer to con-
firmed inebriates and particularly to
minors who are leading deprsved
lives among vicious companions, with
out home or friends and who IL given
an opportunity to reform, and encour-
aged by friendly words and acts,
would leave off the bad and attain to
the good and become respectable and
useful members of the community.
There are girls and boys of tender
years in every city who lead vicious
and depraved lives, many because
they never knew or associated with
decent people and who would be
brought to virtue and usefulness were
they put, by force of law, where they
would by necessity come within an
environment of education, industry
and purity. Every good citizen, man
or woman, is daily panied at the sight
of the young, going to ruin on the
streets Of our towns, learning in the
school Of vice those things which will
graduate them In the felon's prison,
thus becoming lasting burden and
cost to the territory. All good citi-
zens will be ready to pay the addl-
tional tax necessary to support q re-
formatory, for it's establishment would
result in lasting benefit to the unfor-
tunates who may be committed to
the asylum; it would rebound to the
credit and reputation of the territory
thus benetitting 1t substantially and

STALKING DOWN BROADWAY.
4 Couple of Men Who Attracted Censid-
cradle Attention from Passersby.

u COupio Oh MON VINO Attfectoo O0nuio-
cradle Attention from Psssersby.
Two men who were stalking with Great
solemnity down Broadway one afternoon
attracted considerable attention from the
passerby. Both of them were short and
broad and there was q remarkable SINH
larity in the contracted eyebrows of the
two faces. Each man, as though by vio-
lent muscular effort, drew his forehead
down over his nose, SO that the faces had
q lowering and surly expression. Two
big wrinkles extended upward from
where the eyebrows met and the heads
were inclined forward. The faces were
clean shaven, the mouths drooped at the
corners and the eyes seemed heavy-lidded
and thoughtful. The similarity in the ex-
preston Of the faces made them look SIM
liar, though there was really no likeness
between them.
They strobe along with stiff-legged dig
nifty, each with his hands thrust deep in
in his ulster pockets and neither looking
to the right nor left. A stranger might
have supposed that they had been
having quarrel, except as they
passed Thirty-fourth street one Of
them said something in joel
lar vein and they both smiled
quickly. A few steps further on the smile
went out Of the faces as completely as the
flame disappears from snuffed candle
and the contracted fcreheads and droop-
ing mouths readjusted themselves with
such rapidity and certainty that one in
voluntarily listened for the click Of the
machinery.
The darker Of the two men was sallow,
almost greasy looking, and one might be
excused for calling him fat. His feet
were encased in big rubber shoes, he wore
a fur cap on his head, heavy silk hand
kerchief around his neck, and the collar
of his long ulster was turned up above his
ears. The other also wore a coat which
stretched from his ears to his heels and o
sealskin cap was drawn tightly over his
head. Thus Edwin Booth and Lawrence
Barrett trudged heavily along muflled
and shod like rheumatic and testy old
men Of the nineteenth century, but wear
ing the ponderous expression Of the face

The Anarchists Plot to Destroy vienna and

A DIABOLICAL PLOT.
LONDON, Oct. 9.-The Chronicles cor
respondent at Paris says he has just heard
from Vienna the details of startling an
archist plot to destroy Vienna and assas-
sinate Emperor Francis Joseph. The con-
spirators, whose plans were frustrated by
the authorities, had intended to carry out
the plot on October 4. Various lumber
stores were TO be set on fire throughout
the city, and during the confusion public
buildings were to be blown up with dyna-
mite. The police seized immense
quantities OF bombs and explosives In
different parts Of the city, especially near
the imperial residence at Schonbrund,
and beneath the bridge leading to the
palace, which the emperor crosses daily.
1t was also intended to make an attempt
upon the life OF the emperor at the same
time. large number of foreigners and
Austrians were arrested. The ring-leader
escaped To Germany. In consequence OF
the stringent anti-socialist laws the news
OF the discovery Of the plot did not leak
out for several days.

mains loyal to the regular government.

Ii Is enabled to state that committee OF
the cabinet Is preparing a bill to establish
four national councils, and to state tina
d committee of the cabinet is also prepar-
ing bill to represent the provinces OF
Ireland. The bill differs from Gladstone's
bill, chiefly In the omission of the pro-
visions for a legislative body at Dublin.
With this exception, the bill fully meets
the aspirations OF the Home Rulers in re-
gard to transferring to local bodies the
direction of Irish affairs, now dealt with at
Westminster. The government has Sc
cured for the bill the hearty support Of
Lord Harrington and Mr.. Chamberlain.
Mr.. Gladstone was not consulted In the
matter. The News expresses the belief
that Mr. Chamberlain is the real author af
the scheme, and that the Parnelltes will
reject the bill with contempt. Comment
ing editorially the News says; "The gov
eminent are sanguine that they can carry
the bill 1t is possible that many Libe-
rails will support the measure as well
come installment. II the bill passes, all
the world will know that Ireland owes 1t
to Mr.. Gladstonc's bold initiative, and

The Managing Partner of a Big Chi.
cage Packing Firm Completely
Wrecks His House.
The Firm ,Did an Immense business and

ing House in the Country.

CHICAGO, ILL, Oct 9.-An afternoon
paper says N. M. Neeld, a partner in
the well-known packiug-house of j. c..
issued bogus warehouse receipts aggre-
eating 100000. He has practically
bursted his firm. The loss will fall alto
gether on the banks. Neeld left for Can
ada night before last. No one has heard
from him. Neeld was a tine-looking man
of about forty-eight years. He was man
aging partner In the firm of j. G.. Fergu-
son & Co., which is very old and rich
apolis. He has been speculator on the
board and In stocks. He has
been on the wrong side of the market
for a long time. No particulars at all are
obtainable concerning the failure. Mr..
Ferguson has locked his private office and
refuses to make any statement whatever,
until later in the day, after he has an OPP
portunity to ascertain exactly the extent
of the disaster that has overtaken the
firm. The firm of j. G. Ferguson & Co.
is an old one and stood high. 1t is stated
that Neeld issued number of fraudulent
warehouse receipts, and that Chicago and
New York banks loaned money on them
to the extent of the amount stated. Neeld
was one of the directors of the Chicago
board of trade.
The Arm is composed of j G. Ferguson,
Ed Ferguson 20 SOM, Goodbody of Liver
pool, Neeld "a son-in-law) and Mr..
Howard, also a son-in-law. The latter
had his headquarters at New York, and
from that place managed the shipments
For that reason some banking was
done there. The New York Corn
Exchange bank Is the heaviest
loser, being 100000 in the hole
without dollar security. The heaviest
losers here are IN the banks and in the
following order: First National, Metro
politan, Illinois National, and probably a
number of others. The Continental is
the smallest loser among the banks. 1t is
explained that Neeld was not shire wd
business man. He was the cause of the
failure of his father-in-law some years
ago. Mrs. j. C. Ferguson, however,
is very wealthy. She loaned money to
start the house here. She holds mort
gage on it. The defalcation is great, ex-
tending, it is believed, through the year,
and 1t is presumed it started with NO
really dishonest motives, but the buyer
receipts were soon beyond his control,
and before he left he sank everything out
of sight. The house of j. G.
Ferguson & Co. has been in
existence twenty five years. 1t
was in existence in Indianapolis before
Chicago was a packing center. Neeld
married the daughter of j. G. Ferguson,
whom he has now ruined. He and the
son of the senior Ferguson, Edward,
moved here and opened at the stock.
