"sLOYD."
The System of Manual Training Now Be-
ing Taught In Boston.

ing Taught in Boston.
The word ''sloyd" has been seer in
print more or less of late years in mag
azines as well as newspapers and al
ways in connection with the vital
question of manual training and its
introduction into the public schools.
1t is an anglicized form of the Swedish
slojd, meaning dexterity or manual
skill Compare Morse word slogd, cum
ming; English sly). OF late, however,
the word has been restricted in its use
to denote a system of manual training,
of which the best known is the SO
called Mas system, adopted some fif-
teen years ago in Sweden.
When this system was adopted at
Mas, it was new only as a whole.
The details had been worked out and
proved to be beneficial by different
persons at different times and in diff
ferent countries, but not until then
had they been collected and made into
a systematic whole. The material
used is wood, found, by experiment,
to be the ~cleapcst and easiest to work
proper tools it can be worked into any
shape or form.
The purpose of the sloyd instruction
is by no means only to give general
skill to the hand, but also to stimu-
late and broaden the mind, and to ex-
cite n love and respect for all honest
work; it is to be looked upon as edu-
cational, a thing which will help us
all and generations TO come to be more
fully and evenly developed.
On the value of various systems
there is much dissent; but all believers
in manual training agree to the fol
lowing principles: The work must,
1. Interest the pupil. 2. Give use
full articles as a product. 3. Promote
general deXterity. 4. Develop the
sense and love of order and exactness.
5. Encourage cleanliness and neat
ness. G. Take into consideration the
ability and strength of the pupil. z.
Cultivate the aesthetic sense. s. De
velop and strengthen the body. 8.
Counteract sedentary occupations.
10. Progress methodically. II. Train
the perception and develop the con-
structive and inventive faculties. ~.
Cultivate attention, diligence and per-
severance. These qualities the sloyd
will be found to supply more fully
than any other system, while it is bet
ter calculated to secure a symmetrical
development of mind and body

A case in some respects similar to
that of the famous man who jumped
into a bramble bush is reported from
Kennebunk. Mrs. A. f. Wood, a lady
who had been lame several years, went
to the barn loft to gather some eggs and
in sliding down upon the hay, with
her lame limb, hearing something
crack she felt she had broken some
bone. She called % her husband for
help and when he lifted her up she
found she could walk better than be-
fore. The ligaments which had adj.
hered to each other by non use were
broken apart, improving her LAM eness.

Nobody, - said a man whose long
residence in New York entities him to
the distinction of being a deep and old
observer, lis so utterly indifferent to
public opinion rs a fashionable wo-
man. She really does not care q rap
n way or the other what the world
thinks of her as long as she has a
chance to exercise her pet hobbies. l
suppose three of the most tremendous
crusades that have ever been made
against womankind were, in the first
place, the movement against wearing
corsets; then the agitation about the
cruelty of women using the dead bod
les of beautiful song birds as orna-
ments for their hats; and, thirdly, the
cruelty and injustice of big hats in
theatres. Yet today the women 90
gloriously forth laced to the limit,
with their hats covered with the
corpses of beautiful birds, and wearing
hats that would shame the mainsail Of
a down east schooner. Man is of no
account whatever when he throws
himself against a woman's notion of
fashion. New York Sun.

DIR. Wagner & Co., the most uniformly suc

their honest duty to caution the public gen.

loss OF manhood or any form of nervous dir

country who are passing themselves of upon

frauds who possess nothing but a legal di-
ploma to keep them out of prison for their
fearful medical malpractices.
We have had hundreds of patients who
after being most shamefully robbed by these
medical pirates and their disorders greatly ag-

the hands OF these medical shams to find out

most hopeless condition imaginable.
Come at once, don't delay. Avoid these

LYNCHBURG.
The Charge Against the Piedmont Social
club Dismissed.

LYNCHBURG. VA, Dec. 29.-lSpecial.l r.
The case Of the city Of Lynchburg against
the Piedmont Social Club of this city,
which was reported by THE TIMKs cores
pondent last Friday, was decided to-day by
Justice CrenshaW in iayor OF the cluO.
The courthouse was full Of spectators TO
hear the opinion delivered. Justice Cren-
shaw said that from the evidence heard on
saturday and from research OF authorities
on the subject he had formed his opinion.
While il was true that members Of the club
took drinks Of liquor or wine there, the
dispensing Of such articles was confined
exclusively TO the members, each OF whom
paid his propOrtiOnate part Of cost OF What
he consumed. In this there was no sale for
profit as it is contemplated by the license
law when it assesses a tax upon persons
for selling liquor as means OF earning "A
livelihood. Aside from his own feelings
i'm the matter. he would decide the question
on the evidence ana as he understood
the law. The Piedmont Club was an Organi-
zatiOn Of gentlemen; it was conducted IN an
orderly, law-aDiding manner; 1t was, IN
fact the home OF the members, and they
mad a right 10 purchase from the merchant
anv article, consume II in any way they
choose. and pay for it by any arrangement
they thought best, lust as private tami-
lv exercised the same right In view OF the
facts in the case. be did not think the club
liable TO the license-taX. and be dismissed
the charge of violation. The friends OF the
club present evidenced their satisfaction by
smiles. and left the courthouse slapping
one another on the shoulder in cOngratula-
lion. The opinion has been freely discus
sed on the streets, some sustaining, while
others condemn il. IL is likely that an ap-
peal will be taken.
A young stranger giving his name as Il.
NJ. Ledger, and claiming 10 hail from II.
LOUIS. Mo. came 40 the city week ago
and secured accommodations at the board
inc house Of Mrs. FaTwell. He depOrted
himself very nicely until Christina ;
day. when he got on a spree, which he kept
up until Yesterday morning. He was then
found in his room in an unconscious
condition and DR.. Camm was called TO
attend him. Despite the efforts OF the
physician, however be died last night from
pulmonary apOpleXy, superinduced by eX
cessiye indulgence in liquor. Ine young

badge was found under the lapel Of his coat.

disposition 10 make of the remains, but had
received no reply to date.

FROM NORFOLK
Prominent Men Tried for Contempt of
Court-NorfOlk's HarbOr.

Court-NorfOlk's HarbOr.
NORFOLK, VA, Dec. o. Special. T.
There was an unusual scene in the Corpo-
ration Courtroom this morning. Judge d..
Tucker Brooks had capias served on W. ID.
Rouptree, one OF the wealthlest citizens OF
Norfolk, and ~. w. HOsier, prominent
merchant, summOning them to appear be
fore him and show cause why they should
not be fined for contempt Of court. The
contempt WAS IN interviews with
these gentlemen published in an after
noon paper, in which Mr. ROuntree said he
could Kill three men in Norfolk. and put
money in certain places and get free, and
Mr.. HOsier that lawyers could bulldOZe
Norfolk courts and juries." Both gentle
men swOre that they had been incorrectly
reported Rev. Calvin 5. Blackwell, editor
of the paper, and the man who wrote the in
feryiews, swOre that he correctly reported
the gentlemen's remarks. The Judge let
Messrs. ROuntree and HOsier of with stun
ming rebukes, and told Mr. Blackwell he
would probably send him before the grand
jury.
Bids have been opened for dredging the
Norfolk harbOr. The amount appropriated
for this work by the last River and Harbor
bill was $l50,0OO, and the work OF spending
it will commence early in February. There
are five bidders for doing the work, the
lowest bid being eleven cents per cubic
yard for dredging. Most Of the work done
will be in the vicinity Of Lambert's Point,
and the mouth Of the Western Branch.
