Experience and Training.

To be a good mechanic, said Sir Ben
iamin Browne at the recent meeting of
the British Scientific association, long
training is necessary; and, above all,
ability to distinguish good work from in
ferior work. A regular course of prog
ress from one branch to another should
be carefully followed, SO as to teach
every class of work up to the most diff
cult. In this the real interest of the en-
ployer is the same as that of the lad,
viz, to learn every step thoroughly, and
then pass on to something more difficult
The author contended that a long train
ing in mandatory is absolutely neces-
sary, and this should be supplemented
by theoretical and technical instruction
at would probably be a great gain to
give lad six or eight months of theoret-
ical teaching after he is out of his ap-
premiership. The old fashioned system
of apprenticeship, not much shortened,
and with very slight notifications, is the
only reliable method for either employer
or mechanic to learn his business; but,
as work has become more scientific and
elaborate, it is necessary for any young
man who wishes to excel to have good
theoretical and technical training in ad-
dition to his factory experience. Phil

The Possibilities of Life.

We are put here to secrete something
everlasting out of nature. The oppor,
tnnities are rich, but it is the capacity,
the fiber, that determines whether we
shall do it, for nature contributes to ou1
life, not primarily according to its
bounty, but according to the filaments
in us that will solicit and incorporate its
bounty. One man absorbs mathematical
truth out of the heavens, while side by
side with him mortal exists that organ
ICES nothing grand or stately into his
constitution-just as the mushroom can
do no more than hoist its plated parasol
out of the same ground, and in the same
sunlight, from which the oak seed inn
bibed slowly its tremendous strength.
Another man draws to himself the wis
dom printed in the granite leaves be-
meath us, which earthquakes have turn
ed for our benefit, and shows that he has
ennobled his life by it. A third wins a
divine thought, limited in the old bones
which the globe entombs; while fourth
fastens on history, and compels the laws
of it to filter through facts into his
reason.-Starr King.

The great qualities Of Mr.. Blaine
never appeared more conspicuous
than in his speech at Waterville,
Maine, on Friday last. The key note
of his mastery argument was
sounded in the very first sentence he
uttered: 81 wish to declare that the
United States has reached a point
where one of it's highest duties is to
enlarge the area of it's foreign trade" :"
The entire address is characteristic of
the man, clear, luminous, foTceful,
unanswerable. 1t is the utterance of
a statesman who brings to the discus
sion of his theme minute and COM
prehensive and complete knowledge
of his subject, and patriotic single
mindedness which places the develop
ment of American industries and the
nations prosperity above ali party con-
siderations. Most truthfully remarks

The Parrot Not the Only Bird That Talks.
The parrot is generally supposed to
have the monopoly of the power of talk
ing among birds, but as matter of
fact the parrot is decidedly inferior to
the mynah. There are always exam
Piles of these birds in the insect house
at the Zoo, and they repeat various
phrases with great clearness of utter
ance. Curiously enough, the hen has a
gruff voice, while the cock speaks in a
clear high tone, like that of a child. The
mynahs can be easily provoked into
showing off their power of speech, and
will greet the visitor with Good morn
ing" in response to his salutations. The
mynah is kind of startling, and this
latter bird is well known for its imita-
tive powers. Some years ago. an ac-
count was published of talking Ca
nary" which could articulate quite
plainly, and would repeat series of
phrases. But the wonder is, not that
there are so many different kinds of
birds which can talk" but that there
are not more. The voice organs are
equally perfect in construction in all
these higher birds.-Pall Mall Gazette.
