The founder of the school has formu-
lated series of Workshop lessons, based
On mechanical and free hand drawing
His aim is to educate the mind first that
It may direct the hand Alright. For in
stance, . pupil receives a model of cone
from which he takes measurements and
then makes . complete working draw
ing. He then goes to the workshop with
his drawing. and with tools and proper
material turns IN his Lathe cone accord
ing TO his drawing, which is a copy of
the original model in the drawing room.
This plan it is proposed to pursue &C.
cording to the age and ability Of the pu-
pill, from tho simplest construction of a
triangle to the construction Of q steam
engine.
From the workshop where mechanical
drawing is the basis the children go
into the school ateier, where free hand
drawing cultivates the sense of harmony
and beauty. Little children of and 8
model simple forms of leaves; scrolls
and various architectural forms in clay
They are led upward from simple
modelling of a square to the intricate

II is hoped that this process win awaken
the art instincts of the masses. America
can produce no great artists, architects
or sculptors until the whole people have
the true art feeling.
In all probability there is not another
school like this one in the United States,
and it awakens the keenest interest in

a PRINCE FROM scHENEcTADY.

Incidents in the Early Life of tho Consort
of Queen Liliuokalani.
Many an old-forter, says the Schen-
ectady Union, will remember little
darls-skinned, black-haired. foreign
looking boy playing in Front street and
around ''2's' engine-house forty five or
fifty years ago. He will be recalled as
Johnny Dominis. He was stranger,
the boy was this:
His father was captain of q whaler,
who, with his wife and three children
Johnny and his two sisters-lived at 20
Front street, in the hospitable home of
Rev. DIR. Andrew Yates. Doninis
cruised in the neighborhood of the
Sandwich Islands. This was mission
ary ground, and Dominis was pious
man. DIR. Yates became interested in
him and his family. So oduring the long
cruises the wife and children remained
here. The two sisters, Fanny and Cath
crime, died of a remarkable complaint,
two rapid growth. Like lilies they
rose rapidly, tall, slender and fragile,
dropped and died. Both lie near the
tomb of Colonel Christopher Yates, and
by the grave of DR.. Andrew Yates.
The captain took his last voyage.
Pirates seized his ship in the south Pa
cific, and the brave officer was made to
walk plank into tho sea. The widow
and her children went to the Sandwich
Islands, leaving some boxes of house,
hold goods in the charge of the family
with whom she had lived so long. A
prey to dementia and melancholy, she
walked every day along the shores of
Honolulu, refusing to believe the death
of her husband, and watching hourly
for his return. A little while ago the
faithful wife's vigil ended, and she met
him on another shore.
Meanwhile Johnny throvc apace. He
was well taught at Miss Ritchie's
school, grew to be man Of brain and
nerve and activity, won the confidence
Of King Kalakaua, was made Governor
Of the island of Oahu, married Liliuo-
kalani, the Kings sister, and ultimately
became in reality the ruler of the
islands.
King Kalakaua came to this country
on visit in 1881, and Johnny came
with him. Johnny was written to by
those Of DR.. Yates family who were
then in Schenectady to come and get his
two trunks. But he had his hands full
with the royal traveller, and he wrote a
letter of thanks, saying that he had in
tended to come here, but his constant
attendance on his Majesty made it i'm
possible. He did not say he was having
worse racket than he ever had on the
old fort, but it could be read between
the lines. He directed the trunks to be
opened. They were, but nothing but
what had evidently been handsome furs
and laces and other feminine bric-a-
brac crumbling into dust was disclosed.
And now the King is dead. Johnny's
wife is Queen, Johnny himself is Prince
Consort as Prince Albert, Of England,
was. But Johnny is really King; has
been for fifteen years. Think Of boy
being educated at Miss Ritchie's school,
and under the refining influences Of the
old fort coming to be king.

A Terrible Warning.

A lightning-rod man who is canvass
ing the country districts Of Georgia
gives the people this terrible warn
ing to induce them to buy his rods:
IAN old man down in the country re-
fused to have us rod his dwelling. His
wife and grown daughter stood on his
front porch and cried for lightning
rod As mounted my wagon said to
him: Old man, in less than thirty days
you win regret thia' And, gentlemen,
1t Is the truth that In Just twenty-nine
days from that time the lightning fell
on that old mans house, demolished the
house, killed his wife and daughter, and
completely paralyzed him."

In Spite OF It's Reputation 1t Does Not
Satisfy tho English.
1.-THE truly perilous condition Of our
country during war, owing to the ex-
ceedingly weak state of the navy as
compared with that from 1893 to 1851, I"
Is the subject Of . very remarkable
letter just written by Admiral Sir
Thomas Symonds, of the royal navy, to
the Marquis Of Salisbury. Standing In
the light Of recognized authority, re-
marks the New York Times, Sir Thom-
as Is listened to by tho British mill
tary service with mingled wonder and
apprehension. The service papers print
the letter in full, with copious editorials.
Sir Thomas states that Great Britain
has 80 few cruisers that even in 1895 It
would be impossible to supply the
coaling stations during war with France
alone. The fighting and mercantile
,navies would be paralyzed, and the
'punctual supply Of food would be Inn
possible.
''In personnel our numbers are about
20, 900 partly trained men. The French
have 104, 900 Inserts and 10000 marine
artillerymen and light infantry. Total,
10000 well-trained men. We should
have at least marine artillerymen
enough beyond what we have to gar
rison our docls-yard towns, which
should be, like the French, under pre-
fect-Admirals. As to vessels, we have
none. We need twenty battle-ships and
fifty cruisers Of all classes ready for sea
as reserve-except being manned-to
relieve accidents, and even for coaling,
passing the crews of those vessels re-
turning to port to those ready for sea-"
In conclusion Admiral Symonds says
that he deems 1t his imperative duty to
make manifest how recklessly his
country is pursuing the road to ruin in
the event OF war, for he is certain that
seventy-six armor>clads and eighty
eight cruisers, some of which are of a
questionable character, can not possibly
fulfill the duties expected of her Maj
esty's navy.

thrifty farmer of forty-five l had
taken walk before breakfast one
morning as an appetizer, out from
Jonesboro, where / was attending
court, and was standing by the ruins Of
the old mill when he came up. The
roof had fallen in, windows and doors
disappeared. The old water-wheel had
