Sewing In Public Schools.

The course of study in sewing in
the Boston public schools is interest
ing for an amateur of sewing to con
slider. To read of ''thimble, emery,
scissors set off neatly as articles of
study, and to gaze upon~a printed
curriculum of Blasting, backstitch-
ing, overcasting, half backstitching
and combination of one running and
one half backstitch" is to realize
most intensely the advantages Bos-
ton offers to her daughters. In the
fourth year are taught, among other
things, stocking darning, straight
and bias telling, whipping and sew
Ing ON ruffies, hemstitching, blind
stitching, tucking if not taught pre-
viously, gathers overhanded to a

fifth year there. is system of dress
cutting by which girls are taught to
take measures, draft, cut and fit

The Mules Knew the Route.

A remarkable instance of the stub
bornness with which mules retain
ideas once impressed upon them was
seen one day last week. A dairy.
man who for years had driven his
team and served his 800 OF more
customers in Cincinnati personally,
died suddenly before he could give
his son list of the customers The
latter, however, started the wagon
to town at the usual hour the next
day, with instructions to deliver
milk wherever the team stopped.
The animals trotted along briskly
till they reached Abigail street, where
they pulled up in front of a grocery
A maid with a pitcher soon ran out,
and taking the name and order the
driver continued. He simply started
the mules, letting them pick the
route, and when they finally headed
for home he found he had list of
over 800 customers. The mules had
not only stopped at all the regular
places, but, as was afterward learned.
had regained several former custom
ers who had changed milkmen re

PATHS Eairyluud,

Craig y-nos castle, situated at the
base of 1.-THE Rock of Night" one of
the many high hills which stretch
away from the Brecon Beacons to-
ward Swansea bay from which the
diva's home takes its name, appears
to the weary and footsore traveller
Ito whom hearty meal and ample
rest is never denied) to be as an oasis
amid the desert plains. Built in the
center of wildly romantic expanse
of scenery and traversed by the
Tawe, a bright little river which
hurries seward, babbling and rip
ping as it flows, the castle stands re
splendent, with an almost regal air,
commanding an impressive view of
the broad valley and its picturesque
surroundings.
To the left of the chateau are sit
uated the Conservatives, wineries,
peachhouses, etc, and last, but not
least, the magnificent winter garden,
which has lately been erected and
stocked with rare palms and Australi
an ferns. Here the diva takes her daily
walk when fierce gales and drench-
ing showers deter her from Drawing
the elements. The castle and winter
garden are brilliantly illuminated by
electric light, so that the effect of the
cattle at night, when viewed from
the somber valley, is that of an en-
chanted palace situated in Fairyland.
