tic arts musts before long show itself in the
development Of those arts.
The manufacture of wall paper in this
country certainly owes to a few clever
women a great part Of the extraordinary
artistic success which it has achieved; and
to take another example, the decorative en-
broidery Of the associated artists and Of
Mrs. Holmes before them, give promise for
I the future Of American art which is hardly
to be found in the painting or sculpture Of
the count y. If we could suggest anything
which might with advantage be added 20 the
curriculum of this or similar schools, it
would certainly be the development Of the
actual practice Of artistic industry in other
ways besides embroidery. There is no
reason, for instance, why women here should
not be as successful in decorative painting as
the Misses Garrett and their rivals are in
England.
Most women are somewhat sensitive to
color, but are so persuaded of their natural
gift in this direction that they scorn to learn
anything about the subject, and make, in
consequence, laborious attempts at decora-
tion which, to everybody but themselves, APP
pear painfully ignorant and bald. II the
same women would get rid Of the notion
that heaven has already taught them a busi-
ness which their brothers spend years in
learning, and would, like men, make them
selves acquainted with the observations Of
such masters as Owen Jones, Dr. Dresser
and William Morris, and compare the work
Of different ages and countries the beautiful
forms of the antique and the Renaissance,
the brilliancy Of the japanese and the inef-
fable coloring Of the Chinese, they could,
more easily than most men, acquire a re-
source and certainty which would make
them the best and most rapid Of decorators.
The same sort Of training would fit them
for other artistic professions. We cannot
say that we think the system Of making de-
signs for tiles and similar things, for iudif-
ferent workmen to carry out, is calculated to
develop the highest artistic capacity or pro-
duce the most beautiful art. The highest
beauty can only be added by the artists own
hands, without the Intervention Of mechan-
les, and there is just nova wide field for the
use Of works of decoration which shall be as
much autographs Of the designer as an easel
picture could be. To take a single example,
a great deal Of mosaic for the adornment Of
buildings is now made in Venice by an asso-
citation Of girls of good family, who draw
and color the designs, pick out the bits Of
glass or stone, and send them to be put in
position Although mosaic is now a rare
luxury with us, it might be popularized in
this way to the general advantage

its sides are iron rails and hooks for awnings
and in its interior arc a salon, dining room,
two bedrooms, a bathroom, kitchen, and,
most wonderful Of ALL a stable and coach

A TECHNICAL SCHOOL
IN NEW YORK CITY EXCLUSIVELY
FOR TRAINING GIRLS.

The Modern Movement by Which Women
Havc Entered So Many Departments of
Industry-subiects Taught in the school
Some Suggestions.
We imagine that It win surprise most peo-
| pie to learn that there is a technical school in
! New York, exclusively for girls, which has
been in existence fourteen years, and gradu-
ated this year a class of 924 members. or more
than the united members of the graduating
classes of boys in all the technical schools in
che western hemisphere 1t is true that the
sciences taught in the school are not of a
very ahstruse character, but they are of the
sort best adapted at present to help girls to
earn an honest living, and many a woman
must bless the thoughtful charity by which
she was put in the way of independence.
There is still something strange to an Ameri-
can in the modern movement by which vo-
men have entered into nearly all the depart
ments Of industry and trade which We're once
Ihonopolized by men.
1t is not many years since young girls
face was rather rare sight on Wall or State
street, and those that We're seen generally be-
longed to persons who We're shyly hurrying
by on their way to a ferry or railway sta
tiOn. Now nearly every brokers' or lawyers
Office and merchants counting room has its
gentle, industrious boolkeepels and type
writers, and in many cases these modest and
faithful assistants are intrusted with very
great responsibility. All the girls who wish
to be employed, however, cannot find places
as typewriters or bookkeeDers, and it is a
matter of much Importance to the welfare of
the sex to increase the number of occupa-
tioRs in which It can be of service This sort
Of work is Just what technical scti0ol can
do, and those who would like to SEQ the weak
er class Of their fellow citizens placed in a
position where they need not be dependent
for support upon the uncertain mercies Of
their male relatives will do Well to keep the
New York example in mind.
Among the subjects taught in the school
are stenography and bookkeeping, mechani-
cal and free hand drawing, sewing both by
hand and machine, cutting and fitting,
music, designing as applied to textile fabrics,
wall papers and tiles and modelling All the
instruction given is free, and the salaries Of
the twelve teachers employed, as well as rent
and other expenses, are paid by subscription
under the care of the Young Women's Chris |
tian Association. So far as the public are |
concerned the education of women in all l
these, as well as other kindred subjects, Is an |
unrnixed advantage Not only are thou |
sands of intelligent persons changed from |
idle and often very poor consumers to in /

ducers but the introduction of so much /

Fred Thayer not only inscribed his name

Yankee ingenuity. 1t came about in this
way: After catching Ernst for q season,
Tying went to Thayer and said he would not
stand up any longer and run the risk of hav-
ing his face stove in. Thayer had no alter
native. He must either devise some protec-
ton for Tyng's face or lose him es a catcher.
Why not cover the face with cage. thought
the quick witted captain. No sooner did the
idea occur TO him than he went to work to
carry it out. He spent his spare time in
bending wires and experimenting until he
had constructed the first catchers mask ever
used. 1t was primitive affair as compared
with the masks of today, but it answered the
purpose and kept Tying behind the bat That
