Subjects for Industrial Training.

Mrs. Laura Osborne Talbot thus de-
scribed to the American association
her experiences of the effects of a little
industrial teaching upon thirty va
grant boys whom she, with some other
ladies, induced to attend for three
years an industrial school at Howard
university one morning in the week
eve were limited in every way, but
we found these children of the lowest
kind were delighted to work with
tools, and some of them have set up
little carpenter shops of their own,
and support themselves in that way
The moral uplifting was the best result
of all, and it is not likely that these
boys will become members Of our
criminal class.
each boy as he entered the class was
taught in the tailor shop to mend his
clothes, and in the shoe shop to mend
his shoes. One lame colored boy from
the orphan asylum became SO sl1illful
in shoemaling that he could not only
make his own shoes, but could cut up
the larger, half worn shoes and make
them over for baby feet. ALI of this I
term the best kind of economy, espe-
cially in city like Washington. .

.Bullet PLAYING. in Scotland

The Scotch miner has many ways of
amusing himself. Quoitsis favorite
game OF his, so is a game called
FOUNDERS" sort of bastard cricket
and cricket itself is popular among the
younger men, but with them football
is the favorite pastime. Leaping, run
ming, throwing the hammer, and toss
ing the caber are all practiced, and in
some parts q game called bullet play
ing is in high favor. have never
seen this played except in the Lothians
and Stirlingshire, and there it was at
one time the crack amusement. Rather
a peculiar amusement it is, too. 1t is
played in this manner: A certain dis
lance, say mile out and mile in. is
fixed upon as the ground to be covered
by the players, and the man who does
SO in the fewest number of throws is
declared the winner. The bullet is a
polished ball of hard whinstone, and
weighs from ten to fourteen ounces,
and this ball the player takes into his
hand, and, running to line drawn on
the roadway, he swings his arm and
throws with all his might. This is
termed ''hainching the bullet" and a
good player can cover the mile in five
or six throws.
The game is one mainly of strength.
but a good deal Of skill can be shown
in it. Each player has man in front
to show where the bullets should be
landed, and his business is to see that
if his directions arc followed the bullet
of his player will have the best part of
the road to run on The game is always
played on the best highway in the
neighborhood, and the authorities OBJ
ject to it as being dangerous although
[ never have heard of any accident
arising therefrom. A bullet match is
to the Scotch miner what a dog fight
IS to his Northumbrian or Staffordshire
congener, or prize fight to an East
End Londoner. The fact that it is for
hidden by law adds to its attractive
ness, and it affords ample opportunities
for betting. Bets are made on the
throw, on the distance out, and on the
complete match, and when two "dons"
are played the excitement runs high.

Driving Away Malicious Spirits.

Whenever we are to ascend o dan
gerous rapid-and nearly all are SO
considered by the native itinerary, and
probably are at certain seasons of the
year, boatman brings out an old
rusty four barreled blunderbuss. rams
the barrels full of powder, picks in
fuses and stations himself at the side
of the boat for the most serious bust
ness connected with the ascent. AS
the boat strikes tho first fierce break
ers, one barrel is discharged into the
water; the gun is then dropped upon
the deck, and the sailor tugs for q
while at the ropes; when we have
swung around and plowed and
plunged sufficiently with little prog
ress, he drops his work, whatever it
may be, fires another fuse and ex-
plOdes the half ounce of powder into
the foam; the third and fourth cham
bers are likewise emptied if the bust
ness is continued long enough.
This may seem curious and useless
custom to those unacquainted with the
Chinese ideas Of demonology, but
once having mastered this branch Of
their intricate religious system, it will
appear to be the most natural and
necessary proceeding. Malicious spir-

places, and ready to do all manner of
mischief. They can be frightened by
terrific sounds; ergo, in passing all
such spots the Chinaman naturally
yells beats gong, explodes fire
crackers or powder in any form. At
worship, at weddings, funerals, in
times of severe sickness, the greater
the noise the more likely the demons
are to hide themselves. The water is
crowded with such demons, and they
are either frightened or propitiated by
the boatmen. Western China"
