work could be made by machinery, and that
a thing Is neJ a work of art, however beauti-
full it may be, unless it is really made di-
rectly by mans lands and shows his per-
sonaI influence. 1t was almost the Onlv audi
ence l ever addressed which clearly di=tin-
guished the fact that minor art work was the
proper preparation for practical" or me-
chanical education and adapted to girls as
well as boys.

is all very well; but 1 have found that all
that mere boys can really effect at carpen-

called the fancy work Of it-Or what is light
and easy. To develop their constructive

Pail Mol Budget. Previously TO the
outbreak of hostilities she Joined a
company of militia-such companies
were then forming in various parts Of
Bulgaria-and accompanied it to the
Southern frontier in the hope of there
meeting with the enemy. During
some time she managed to conceal her
sex. for her comrades took her to be a
youth with an eliminate face, of which
there were many such to be met with
among the militia. Only the com.
mander Of her company knew her
secret; she was obliged to disclose it
to him when the company set out
upon its march, and he appears to
have loyalty kept it to himself. In all
exercises, parades and reviews she
took part jointly with her male com
rades. At last, when Servia declared
war against Bulgaria, the heroine took
part in the forced march into Servia,
fought at the battle of Slivnitza and
Joined in the attack upon Prot. Dur
ing the fight she did all
she could to encourage her COM
rades, and they, in return, unani-
mously voted to her the company's
medal for bravery. When, in conse-
quence OF the war coming to an end,
the militia was dispersed, she went to
Sofia, and was there presented to
Prince Alexander, who awarded to
her a second decoration for bravery.
She then returned to Widdin, her
place of domicile before the war, where
she acts as servant TO an old lady.
She says that should the Servians be-
gin another war she will again fight
again fight against them, but in her
woman's attire, for it is not worth
while to change ones dress for such

FERNANDO, MIas., April 16.-Spring

Most all have young mules and
horses and take an especial pride in
them. We have near us two thor
