Manual Training In Schools.

The extent to which manual exercises
may be introduced into public schools will
no doubt be governed by certain peculiar
limitations. To begin wits, 1t is not ex-
pected that boys generally will be ablo to

old. Give them, therefore, exercises in
which the lighter means may be employed.

we are limited by tho absolute impossi.
bility Of generally connecting with com.

already overcrowded, and the lack Of
specially prepared teachers, are obstacles
which the average country school, at
least, cannot overcome. Industrial draw
ing is largely taught throughout tho
country, We would urge that exercises
connected with it be arranged for an out
growth Of constructed objects. This is
not only practicable, but applicable TO all
common schools.
Depend upon willing parents, brothers

city. The mob raised the cry and IN the
fight between them and the police the
unfortunate man was almost Killed. A
grim humor was added to the situation
by the well established fact that not a

GREAT Is TODAY.

Out on a world that's gone to weed
The great tall corn is still strong in his seed;
Plant her breast with laughter p4t song IN your

The heart is still young In the mother soil;
There's sunshine and bird song, and red and white
clover,
And love lives yet world under and over.
The lights white as ever, SOW and believe;
Clearer dew did not glisten round Adam and Eve,
Never bluer heavens nor grceuer sod
Since the round world rolled from the hand ot
God
There's a sun 10 20 down, 90 come up again,
There are new moons 20 fill when the Old moons
wane.

Who'll that babe be, in yon cottage door,
While your Shakespeare, your Milton takes his
place in the tomb,
His brother Is stirring In the good mother womb:
There's gancing OF daisies and running Of brooks,
Ay, life enough left to write in the books.
The worlds not all wisdom, nor poems, nor low-
ers,
But each day has the same good twcntyfour

The same light, the same night Fer your Jacobs,

There's waving Of wheat and the tall, strong corn,
And his heart blood is water that stitch forlorn.

THE OLD TRYST.

Like the scent Of a flower In blooming
When the dew drops on blossom and tree,
A memory comes sweetly perfuming
The dead past to me.
And the sounds OF the words that were spoken
Come floating afar to me now,
Like the leaves that are borne from this broker
And delicate bough,
AS I walk through this forest where quivers
The svery bloom from the stars,
And the moon, who hangs waning DER rivers
Wind rippled in bars.
For their kiss takes me back 10 the tender
Sweet lips that faded too soon,
Like the gleam OF the stars or the splcndor
That dies with the moon.

the credence given to the reported eating

coming TO him for many years. until now
his fortune is estimated at about @S,0O0,.

this, however, and established drygoods
