THE GERMAN GUILDS.
The Care Taken to Admit Nome bu
Competent Persons to Them.

The Care Taken to Admit Nome but
Competent Persons to Them.
Sir William Siemens, one of the most
famou. of mechanical philosophers,
was born in Germany in 1928. and re-
ceived his early education at Lubbock.
where the German guild system was in
full force. His description of the system
in after years is interesting in itself, and
offers strong contrast to the system of
apprenticeship or want of apprenticeship
to which mechanics are now subjected.
In going through the streets of Lubbock
l saw carpenters arms, tailors arms.
go!dsmiths' arms, and blacksmiths'
arms. These were lodging houses whero
every journeyman belonging to that trade
or craft had to stop if he came to town.
In entering on his career, he had to be
bound as an apprentice for three or five
years. and the ma ,ter, on taking an ap-
prentice, had to enter into an engagement
t teach him the art and mystery, which
meant the science Of his trade.
Before the young man could leave his
c,ate of apprenticeship he had to pass
certain examination, he had to produce
iI'o INSTRUMENTATION, VI Jo"i man piCcC
Of work, and if that was found satisfac-
tory he was pronounced a journeyman.
He had then to travel for four years from
place to place, not being allowed to re-
main more than four months under any
one master; he had to go from city to
city, and thus pick up Knowledge in
the best way that could have been devised
in those days
Then, after he had completed his time
of travel, on coming back to his native
city he could not settle as master in his
trade until he produced his Meisterstuecll
or masterpiece. These masterpieces were
frequently works of art in every sense of
the word. They were, in blacksmithing,
for instance, the most splendid pieces of
armory. In clocks, especially, great skill
was displayed.
After masterpiece was approved, the
journeyman was pronounced a master,
and was allowed to marry.-Youths

Vanity.

The possessor of highly cultivated
mental powers and laboriously acquired
knowledge may be pardoned if he be a lit.
tie vain of his achievements in his case
there is some reason for vanity; but as
rule this fault Of character is unpardon-
able, because men and women almost in
variably value themselves for the gift
which comes by nature, as swiftness
comes to the horse or grace to the deer;
they are vain of qualities for the posses
sion of which they are not in the small
est degree deserving of praise, From
one point of view, of course, the vain
man is right. The wonder and bloom
of the world" is all free gift, and not of
any creatures earning, and is infinitely
more wonderful and more beautiful than
nything for which man can take credit.
The plumage on which the peacock
prides himself, the 1.-the PAGES OF the
horse, the exquisite note of the black
bird, the strength of the elephant. are
none of them less fit to be the subjects of
personal vanity than the beauty of
woman or the agility and strength of
man; in other words, they are none of
them fit at all to be the subject of rea-
sonable vanity. But yet these qualities
are all intrnsically far more wonderful
and beautiful than anything for which i,
is possible in reason to take credit. a
man is quite justified in admirng his
own higher gifts if he does not think any
better of himself for possessing them,
but only for using them with reverence
and certain amount of surprise and
gratitude that they should have been en-.
trusted to his care. There are people
who take credit to themselves even for
the mountains and rivers amidst which
they live, or the sunsets which they arc
accustomed to behold; and although this
is very absurd, it is hardly more so than
for woman to plume herself on her gift
of beauty, OF man on his gifto strength
or graces of person. OF what we achieve
we have right to be vain; but no honor
is due us for the gifts with which we ara
lowered at birth.

A CuriOus SuperstitlOn.

A wedding occurred in New York.
The only curious thing about the affair
was that the bride had but one eye, and
that the loss of the other was the cause
of the wedding.
They grew up together in their native
village in Austria without any special re.
gard for each other. A few months ago
they were playing at cards, and Martin
by accident injured Victoria's eye. A
day or two after he sailed for America,
and lately heard that Victoria had lost
her eye through the accident He inn
mediately wrote Offering to marry her,
and the wedding resulted. 1t is a tra-
dition in Austria that if an unmarried
man destroy the eye of an unmarried
woman, he must, within two twelve
months, make her his wife, or "mourn
where'er he go, his days full of woe; in
life or death he shall know no rest, his
body accurst, his soul unblest, woe to
him on earth or air. woe to him foreer

Of a peasant girl. He wanted to marry
her, but the king would not consent, aud
great misfortune pursued both. The
king was killed, and the prince after in

A clam is considered as an emblem OF

human fingers can open the doors of his
house if he wishes to keep them shut
Liver and digestive organs he has, as SEN

for getting water supply and for pre-
venting an overflow, and wonderful
mechanism for trapping his food. Ano
he has heart whose pulsations may he

how cultivation and care may not only
improve it in looks, but also cause the
quality of its meat to surpass that of The

poultry surpasses the product of the barn

When your host offers you oysters tha,
