marked drummer, lis a pretty sleek
one, and l know boys who have made all
their cigars and drinks on it for several
weeks. You go into the billiard room of
the hotel, pick up cue and begin prac-
ticing. You try some fancy shots OF

to look on and make remarks and catch
and spot the balls for you, and show you
what they can do with the stick. In
this way you soon get on easy terms with

peculiar optical delusion there is about a

placing two balls within few inches of
each other near the lower cushion. Now
NIX your eyes on those two balls you say
to one OF the bystanders, walk complete

gaze fixed on the balls, and as soon as you
have completed the circuit of the table
pick up cue and try to shoot this ball 80

easy one, and the whole matter looks 30

to declare his ability to walk around the
table a dozen times, If necessary, and

ready to wager the cigars that your 3D.

When I was travelling in Germany !
learned that there vas a superstition in
regard to the fortieth year of each century
that was held by all Prussians and that
has its foundation in the history of the
empire. The fortieth year of each century
is regarded by them as marking the begin
ming of new era, and in substantiation
of their belief they 90 back to the fifteenth
century Frederick Hohenzollern was a
simple burgrave of Nuremberg who rose
to great distinction and acquired large
wealth. In the early part of the fifteenth
century the old electoral house of Bran
denburg died out and the right to name
successor fell to the emperor Of Germany.
Frederick Hohenzollern bought the title,
but the nobility opposed his purchase, and,
after the fashion of those days, some hot
fighting ensued which resulted in decis-
i've victory for Frederick in the year 144O.
This is considered the beginning of the
political and military power of the house
OF Hohenzollern. In 1910 the elector of
Brandenburg embraced the Protestant
religion. In 1910 the great elector, as he
was called, assembled the throne, and by
skillful diplomacy and power Of arms
acquired the kingdom of Prussia, which
he added to Brandenburg, thus doubling
and trebling the strength of his prin-
cipality. In 1740 Frederick the Great
assembled the throne, and in 1910 Freder.
lex William w assembled the throne, and
was succeeded by his brother, the present
emperor. During Frederick William
Tvs reign began the movement which
eliminated in the instruction of 184S,
and gave Prussia its constitutional govern
ment.-Globe Democrat.

Industrial Training in Germany.

An interesting letter giving an account
of the industrial training system in the
schools Of Hesse Darmstadt, Germany,
was recently published In Science, 1t
seems that in the girls schools some kind
of needlework has always been taught,
From the very earliest times OF school
history girls have been known to take
their knitting and sewing to school, and,
in the early part of this century, not
only the girls, but the boys also, used
to knit their own stockings at school"
This work, however, was performed sim
ply for the sake of the stockings which il
produced. At the present time the prac-
teal end has not been lost sight of, but
the educational end has become the more
important The parent furnishes the
child with the needed material which, of
course, its work may render worthless;
yet, for all this, no one complains that
the training does not pay. The first les
sons in sewing are the use Of the thimble
and scissors, threading the needle and the
ways of holding the cloth while sewing
and cutting 1.-The stitch lesson is first
performed on paper; after while n cheap
kind of muslin is substituted Patch
ing and mending are thoroughly taught.
In the high schools the garments made by
the girls often eyince great deal of taste
and good knowledge of dressmaking.
In the boys schools of Germany indus
trial training is net usually required
branch, At Darmstadt it was begun
few years ago by private citizens, who
gave such instruction outside of school
hours. The results of the experiment were
so satisfactory that the institution estab
lished was made part of the public school
system. The other schools close the daily
session about $3.50. The manual train
ing is therefore given during the
latter part of tn, afternoon. In
the summer time the boys are put to
work in the different gardens belonging
to the institution. At other seasons of the
year they are engaged in the light and
plain carpetry, and in the making of such
articles as baskets, brushes, brooms etc
Typesetting and bookbinding are taught
to the advanced classes. Each boy re
ceiyes small remuneration for his work
when it is well done. The money is no,
paid directly to him, but is put into saw
ings bank, and from time to time he re
ceives his certificates of deposit, which he
carries home to his parents for safe keep
