There is hardly more serious question clam
ing the attention of public spirited citizens
Of the District than that concerning the best
means Of training to useful lives the boys and
girls of the colored race. The training of
boys and girls Of any race is grave question,
but the colored youths have special claims on
philanthropy for reasons that are known to
all. 1t seems that the percentage Of them
who attend school is relatively small, while
the number that can be accommodated in the
manual training schools, where they may re-
ceive at least partial instruction in handicrafts
and discipline of more practical value than
mere book-learning, is very much smaller still.
An effort is making by an association of the
best class of colored citizens to provide home
school for the least cared for of the colored
children, where they can be trained in useful
pursuits and kept from the evil influences to
which they will inevitably be exposed II left
to their own resources. These colored citizens
should receive cordial cooperation in their
undertaking, as the work they are doing
in the end will benefit all classes as well as
the destitute colored children.

get to first. A three-bagger by johnson

Of incendiary origin. The house was pretty

a large circula. veranda. 1t cost in the
neighborhood of 81 200, and was designed by
Mr.. Wagner, who also drew the design of the
big clubhouse on G street. The members
say the fire was started by an incendiary, as
there is no one on the grounds after nightfall,
and their watchman left the premises in order
yesterday afternoon, and there was nothing
like fire around the island during the day

should be guarded zealously by the officials
who have control Of our streets and parks
In making excavations for sewers or other

conscientiousness of contractors should not
be trusted to protect the trees from injury.
1t seems that the recent outcry about the de-
struction of fine row OF elms on New Jersey
avenue by men engaged In making street Inn
provements was not justified. At least assur-
ances are given that the trees have not been
seriously injured. They should not have
been injured at all nor should any risk of in

Judging from the progress which has been
made toward securing for the Government
title to the proposed site of the new post Office
on the avenue, it is now reasonable to hope
that one of Washington's long-felt wants will
soon be filled. Our artist has caught the idea
in his cartoon on the first page OF the supple
ment in his usual felicitous manner, and every
body will hope that Uncle Sam will shortly be
able to see the new post-office building with
the naked eye and without the aid of the
imagination.

Literary Notes.

treatment Based on Correct Diagnosis is
the title OF pamphlet written by George r.
Smith, NJ. D., and reprinted from the Medical
Tribune, of New York. The author makes q
strong plea for the utmost care in diagnosis, as
on this the intelligent treatment of all patients
must necessarily depend. He lays special stress
on analysis of the fluids and excreta of the body
as an aid to correct diagnosis. The pamphlet
is one that can be read and pondered with profit
by yonng physicians especially.
Correcting by Gesture" two valuable ethno-
logical papers contributed by Col. Garrick NAL
lery. of the Bureau of Ethnology, to the Popu-
lar Science Monthly, have been reprinted and
published as pamphlet of thirty-two pages
by ID. Appleton s. Co. While Col Mallery's
essay is written in the scientific spirit, its style
is not at all technical, and the curious facts con-
tanned in it are presented in a way that makes
1t highly fascinating to the general reader.
