what there is full prices are required. The mar

are steady and unchanged. The total sales for
the week were about $50 barrels

they viii be asked TO sew on examination
day, thus attaining great mechanical nicely
IN few directions, but hardly becoming all
around needlewomeu.
But sewing, whether it is well taught or i'll,
ought not to be charged with the general
m agerness of the girls education. The
sewing occupies only four, or at the outside
five hours a week, about the same time
as the boys give to drawing thus leaving
the other studies clipped still TO be accounted
for.
OF course asked Mr. Kicks the time
worn question, chow do boys and girls
rank in their studies in the London schoolsl"
HIS answer suggested clue to my diff
culties. Sin the six mixed schools the girls
do quite as well as the boys. In the 33S
girls departments the grade is decidedly
lower"
Mr.. Adams. whom have already quoted,
is at the head of one Of the best mixed
schools. He confirmed Mr.. Rlcks' state
ment that there was no difficulty in keep
ing girls fully abreast of boys in all branches,
and told me that the poorer record aud
limited range of study in the girls schools
was due, partly at least, to the limited edu
cation of the teachers set over them. "A
good stiff sum in arithmetic" SO he said,
would floor half of them
Figures are dull reading, but as there is
no approach to uniformity in the London
schools, each having a course of its own, |
can in no better way give an idea of the
education obtained by boys and girls re-
sPectively than by saying that of 33s girls
departments drawing was taught last year

1000 girls out of 100000. Elementary
science was not taught at all. History was
taught in four schools. During the same
year drawing was taught in III boys de-
partments, geography in $40, history in
Is. For The same period 300 boys stud
led algebra, 6 girl. Four thousand seven
hundred and slxty-four boys studied physi-
ology, 365 girls. Four hudred and twenty
boys were taught botany, 81 girls. Fifty
five boys studied hygiene, no girls.
Under the head of manual training, boys
are beginning to be instructed in carpentry
and the use of tools, and girls are taught
cookery and domestic economy. | did not
visit the cookery centers, but understood
that about 5000 girls received 20 lessons

"They tell me Jones has gone broke, but
] don't see how that can be, for he's been
running that big hotel all summer and
every time I've been down there it's been
check full of guests with the bar and res
taurant doing a rushing business. His
charges are high enough, heaven knows,
and il he hasn't made money this sum
mer it's because there's no money in the
business. What's the matteri Was the
rent too steep, or has he been blowing in his
money at the race trackln
This remark was uttered in the presence
of an old hotel man, and he straightfor-
ward made answer as follows:
"rm not at all surprised TO hear that
and ! can tell you why Jones has been
Knocked out although his rent is small and
he never bought pool ticket I'm his life.
He's gone broke for the same reason that
nearly every summer hotel man goes broke
at the end Of the season. He's been knccked
out, not by cards. racing or high rents, but
by his walters and they're the strongest
combination to beat you'll find in that or
any other business"
"How did they contrive 10 beat himr
asked one of the company.
"Howi in every way you can imagine,
rejoined the other with an emphasis which
indicated that he had "been there" himself
II tell you, If it were not for the walters, a
man could make money in the hotel bust
ness: but as 1t is, there isn't a cent in il
and there won't be until some new system
is invented. Now Jones had in his hotel
about $50 walters, all of whom were engaged
by his head waiter and received $4 a
mont1 besides their tips. which usually
