Boys should Learn Trades.

William Henry Rawle, the eminent
lawyer of this city, recently delivered
an address before the students of the
New England College in which he grad
uated more than q generation ago, that
should be printed in letters of gold and
have a place in every home in the land.
1t is specially addressed to young men
who possess educational advantages, but
it applies with equal if not greater force
to countless numbers of young men on
our farms and in our shops who look to
some easier and swifter way to distinc-
ton and fortune than by mastering a
trade. He has been close and intelli-
gent observer of men, and he is inn
pressed with the patent truth that prob
ably nine tenths of the men who attain
fame or fortune, owe their success large
ly if not wholly to the training of the
shop; and he simply pointed out to COL
lege graduates the wisdom of bringing
their exceptional training to command
the exceptional distinction that is prom
ised them in the shops of the country.
Our common departure from the once
accepted system of apprenticeship and
the thorough mastery Of trades, is the
gravest error of our enlighted age. 1t
has filled our best mechanical positions
with foreigners, while Americans seek
employment in vain or accept it at re-
duced wages; and it has precluded many
of our boys from the possibility of reach
ing leadership in other channels of hon.
orable achievement. The men of infiu-
ence and fortune in this city and State
| to-day, as a rule, are those who were
trained in the shop or began as Office boy
| in the counting room. There is hardly
a manufacturer of fortune in Philadel'
phIa who did not graduate at his own
trade; but where are the boys to sue
coed them? The shop and the field and
the forest and the mine with their rug,
ged lessons of industry and the vigorous
health that the absence of affluence
gives, have filled the ranks of our states
man, of our heroes, of our pulpit teach
ers, OF our scientists, of our linanciers
and of our merchants, while the sons o.
fortune are forgotten in the race. lizard
mess ever of hardness is mother" ant
the boy who aims at honor and success
will never despise the shop or reject the
trade it teaches. Eagle.

We had not long 10 wait! The wang
wanga bushes parted and low, heavy
set, performing lion crept softly into
the open karroo, preceded at a dis
lance of about three-quarters of an inch
by our faithful Wang Wang. AS the
poor fellow jumped low Kirdish bush,
heard crunching sound such as l
hope never to hear again, and tunred
away my head rather than see our
trusty gun-bearer in the act of backing
into lion.
As soon as could regain my courage
by small nip of spoopjn, l looked
back at the sickening spectacle. All
was still save the distant song of the
red breasted blim blam in the KoojoC

Suddenly remembering how / had

quail, descended from the tree, anC

down the sloot or dry water-course ant
across the Karoo lands he sped and sc
on back tc Winnipeg, where he joined
his congress of rare wild beasts, as

At the kraal or livery stable, where
we engaged our elephants, we were told
that game was very plenty about thirty
miles across the dinglelow and that IN
small forest of jingsnag trees and
hOola bushes quite a cOvey OF quagga
and elephants had been scared up by a
Boer who had penetrated this Jungle
accompanied by his brake or dog.

venting the escape of our trusty ele-
plants by attaching their trunks, we

rican travel and my very faithful COM
rade, Mr.. Riley Haggard, did the cook
ing.
First refreshing ourselves with long
draught from gourd of spoopiu from
Peoria, marked 1912, so called because
it is placed on the market eighteen
hours and fOrty-two minutes after it is
made, our faithful gun-bearer, Wang
Wang, began to carve the bultong,
Meiboss, and jerked muskrat for the
evening meal. Making bright fire of
karroo bushes and fresh train figs, a
wad of mealies was soon simmering
over the Goals, while the odor of Gin
cinnati bultong pervaded the tropical
forest
Wang Wang, our faithful valet, who
has made his name a household word
because of his search after Schwatka
and One Night Stanley, said that ac-
cording to the books on African explO-
ration it was now time to bed down the
elephants. After doing this he returned
and proceeded with the cuisine.
We had hardly swallowed our sup
per, when Mr.. Riley Haggard was
about to climb date palm to secure a
few luscious lecture dates, when our
ears were saluted by a most unearthly
and ear piercing roar from the heart of
the jungle. At this moment our faith
full Ylaug Wang came with eyes stick
ing out like a sore thumb to announce
that our bird dog had flushed a large
Abysinian lion.
Hurriedly putting little Mayonaise
dressing on our faithful Wang Wang
we sent him out to parley with the lion
while we put on our telegraph climbers,
and filling our pockets with bultong we
assembled Duluth palm tree.

cry of terror, which was joined in by
every one as soon as they saw it. 1t did
not resemble cloud, nor did it carry a
rock in its talens, but it was an
enormous creature that no two men
would care to battle with under any
circumstances. When Banning raised
his eyes and saw the bird his first
thought was to turn around and make
for the ship. Fear took possession OF
him, and his strokes grew less powerful.
Seeing Banning's danger James Gray
jumped in after him. just as he reached
the water the great creature reached
the boy who was growing very faint.
At first the bird seemed undetermined
what to do. 1t pecked at the boy
about the body, needing not the shouts
of the sailors who sought to brighten it
away. 1t was some time before the
boat could be lowered, and by the time
it was let into the water and manned
the boy had gone down once. His sud
den disappearance surprised the bird,
which was about to turn its attention
to Banning, when the boy came to the
surface again. ! ran to my cabin and
returned with a rifle to shoot the
bird should it grow ugly. When
| got on deck the first thing
saw was the strange creature rising
into the air with the boy, and its mate
which suddenly appeared, almost as
large, was attacking Banning. He was
on his back, lodging the beak of his adj
versary and swimming toward the YES
sci with all his might. | was never
more excited in my life. hardly knew
what to do. The boy was being car
ried away and was up thirty or forty
feet in the air. Shoot the bird yelled
the mate, running about the deck like a
crazy man and shouting at the top Of
his voice orders that were not obeyed.
In shooting, |, of course ran the risk of
killing the boy instead of the big bird,
if, indeed, he was not killed by the fall;
but there was not much time to think
of this; the bird was still rising, and,
after hasty aim, | fired. 1t was an
excellent shot. A wing fell helpless, as
/ had broken it, and the bird tumbled
down into the water. The second bird,
when it saw the boat approach, left
Banning and made a fierce attack on
one of the boatmen, strike him blow
with its foot that feled him to the bot
tom of the boat. Another of the crew
raised an oar and hit the bird with all
his might, when it flew away. Banning

latter was unconscious, but after a good
rubbing he was brought to. Banning,
was bleeding about the face, and more
or less injured about the body. The
wounded bird fought viciously when an
attempts was made to capture it. 1t
was finally lassoed and taken on board.
Three weeks after it died. The boy said
that before he went down he felt him
self losing consciousness and grabbed at
the enormous bird that was lowering
over him. He caught its feet and held
on with the grip of drowning man.
He partially regained his sense in the
air, but thought he was higher up than
he really was and did not dare to let

When John Took to Washing.

There are no laundrymen in China,
No linen is worn there. The rich use
silk and wooden undergarments, and
the poor wear wooden or cotton. As
starching and ironing are unknown,
the female servants do all the laundry
work. The reason of the great number
of laundrymen here is that when the
Union Pacific railroad threw hundreds
of Cinnamon out of employment they
cast about for something to do, and
there was a great demand for washer
women, and scant supply OF them in
the West, the Monaghan turned his
attention to her trade. He learned it
so quickly and so well that he stuck to
it, and made so much money that the
calling soon became popular. Gradu.
