FRENCH TECHNICAL SCHOOLS

United States Consul Schoenof's account of ! technical instruction in France is we'll worth the attention of the people of this country. During the last ten years great progress in such instruction has been made in France The leading French manufacturers some time ago began to perceive that their country was slowly losing ground in the processes of pro- duction in which the French people had in the past held an easy superiority. This con- sists in the manufacture of articles which have good selling value, less in consequence of the labor that has been bestowed in their manufacture than in the good taste and inee- nuity shown in their form, color or design. The technical schools in England, Germany and Switzerland were graduating young men and women whose ability to plan and finish highly attractive commodities was by degrees depriving the French of the markets they had previously possessed. To hold their own it was necessary that they. should copy and improve upon the methods of their neighbors; hence general system of technical instruc. tion, or, as it might be termed, instruction in industrial art, was prepared some ten years ago, and has been steadily followed up to the
 
 M. Schoenof is confident that in these tech nical schools the foundations have been laid for industrial supremacy on the part of the French in many of the great manufacturing processes. It seems to him that the pupils in the French public schools work harder and more continuously than the scholars in simi- lar institutions in this country, and what they learn is acquired in very much more thorough manner. He gives in his report fac similes of maps drawn from memory by the girls attending one of the public schools at Bordeaux, which are astonishing productions He mentions another school where the studies begin winter and sannrasr, q. 5:20 a. zn and end at p. m., with less than four hours in- termission for meals and recesses. It might seem that this intense application could only be secured at the expense of physical health, but the writer assures us that, in consequence of the manual labor which forms part of the school course, the scholars appear to be in admirable physical health.
 The French have some excellent ideas even if they are fond of overturning governments. 1 The good effect of their technical schools will 1 doubtless soon be notably felt.

one of Jack splan,s Latest.

 Few men can tell better story than SpIau when he is in the humor. The following, which appeared in the Cleveland Plaindealer last week, is one of the best:
 'The funniest thing ever heard in con- nection with fixed race was in Philadelphia years ago. A race had been fixed, the boys had their money in and everything had an easy look. One of the boys was old Jack Bateheler or Hattie Graham and Red Cross fame, now with the runners, poor fellow! Heats were being donated here and there, the money rolled in and the programme was being strictly adhered to. One man, who stood to lose seven hundred and fifty dollars at the best of it, kicked an awful kick. Batch was under it, and he said unte the man who didn't like jobs: Whats the mat ter with youa If it is job go out and guess the right one. It's guessing match, any how! Then the meeting adjourned. Some time later on the race adjourned too. In the late evening few of the cutest of the bows cast ap accounts and found-to them-thsre was more money and less risk in letting the horse win that could win, and 80 it was ar- ranged.
 ''In the morning, while Batch was still ab sent, the race was finished and plans for the
 
 in. When he saw the board and who had won he 'beefed' beef the like of which I had never heard in the eastern country. Then he caught and fell to cussing. Dur ing Hull ia his discourse someone asked what was wrong. 'Nothing! he said in calm and correct despair, as he removed his ten-cent chip hat and wiped his wrinkled brow with five-csnt bandanna, for the sun was hot and his conversation had been hotter still. Nothing 1 am not kicking over what I've lost, or about the new aeal'-some. one had told him how the programns came to be changed. But am objecting to such deals being made while honest men are asleep.' It was funny.
 "It was this same Batch, you may remem- ber, who, while dealing faro in Chicago was asked by freshly: What Is the Iinits' 'LimitP quoth Batch-who didn't like fresh- iss-'we play from the green earth to the blue sky, and if that isn't enough you climb on and I'll turn for the whole outfit Tks vounr man didpst

A Boston Wife's PredIcament.


 | MT. A, State street broker, was leaving
 town the other day and his wife drove with
 him to the station in hired cab. Just be-
 fore taking the train he found in his pocket
 a couple of letters he had forgotten to mail
 and handed them to Mrs. A., saying that
 they were of importance and asking her to
 post them. The lady took them with her into the cab and drove away from the sta- l tien. Whether she was absent-minded from
 excess of grief at parting with her husband
 or from some other cause is not evident, but certain it is that in a it of abstraction she l quietly slipped both the letters into the crack into the door into which the glass half slides. l When it dawned upon Mrs. A. that she had posted a couple of important business letters in the door of 8 cab, and that her | husband was already on his way to New York, so that he could not rewrite them, 1t | is supposed that she mentally called herself some uncomplimentary names, and un- doubtedly she was in the main not with l out some excuse for so doing. She was, however, a woman of sxpedients, and she quickly stopped the carriage to direct the driver to go to the nearest shop where 8 fish line could be bought. They were not out of the poorer quarters of the city, and the shop at which he drew up was of so eAouOIAuA cHdTaCter that the caDman told Mrs: A. she had better remain outside while he went in after the line. As it was the lsdv found herself regarded by the circle of loaf CTS about with far more interest than was al- together pleasant. The 6sh-line procured. the cab drove away, while Mrs. A. endeavored to get loopof string down beneath the let. ters. The driver was ordered to 20 to con venient and quiet Back Bay street, where much to the mystifcation of the nurse-maids on the sidewalk, the cab moved slowly up and down while Mrs. A. continued her tedions and intellectual angling. She varied the per- formance by procuring sticky fly paper. which she cut into strips and lowered into the crack, in the delusive hope that it miobt | attach itself to the letters, but, like the salt water which Violet fondly hoped would tnrn into butter if it was churned lono anonob Fit seldom ever did"
 Mrs. A. also endeavored to persuade the driver that he could take the cab to inc sta. ble, turn it over and shake the letters ont | but the scheme did not commend itself to his mind. Perhaps the fact that the lsdv was now paying for the cab by the hour. and net exhausting his horse by fast drivino may have tended to reconcile him to ths nrc. longed suspense which was rapidly wear;no away Mrs. As patience.
 The conclusion of the matter was That l Mrs. A. had the cab driven to a oarriaoa makers, where the door was taken from ifs hinges and the letters at last shaken from their place-the cab all the while heinz naid for by the hour! The bill for six hours' nse of the carriage Mrs. A. paid without demur- but she reached home after her adyenture in ! 8 state of weariness of mind and bodv hat. ter imagined than described.
