An interesting exhibit as showing to what
degree Of skill the boys can be brought by ap-
plication and training, is little model of a six
inch gun. worked out of steel and complete in
all it's little details. Turning lathes, tools Of
iron and wood, ornamental iron and brass work
iron tongs, monkey wrenches. hammers and
hundreds of articles Of that sort show how well
the boys have been taught 10 use their hands as
well as their minds. Nor is one side Of the educa-
ton Of the young developed at the expense Of the
other. comparatively small amount of time
Is devoted to manual training and yet the re-
suits are really surprising. There are tables
and bookcases that show what good carpenters
the boys can be. There is pair of Indian
clubs made Of four pieces of joined wood each
and as neatly done if made in turning
lathe. while in point of fact they were made by
a boy with plane and a knife. He was taught
the useful accomplishment Of doing the very
best possible with the tools he had
at hand. An interesting feature in con-
nection with the work ia the fact that be-
fore the boys are allowed to try their hands at
the actual manufacture Of an article even Of
the simplest sort they are taught TO draw the
designs for what they are going to do, to make
the blue prints and the lettering and TO get
the whole thing up il would be in
the highest class machinists' shops.
There Is nothing left TO guesswork
nor TO chance. The scholars know Just exactly
what they are going to do and how they are
going to do it. There are specimens of wood
carving and wood turning that show not only
the skill of the students in handling their tools.
but marked aptitude for the work as well.

THE RICH AS WELL As THE POOR
Curiously enough. it is not the children Of the
poor who have taken all the interest in this man
ual training. According to Mr.. Powell some OF
the very best work among the girls has been
done by the daughters of rich parents, who
may never have to make their own dresses
but who realize that il Is a good thing for them
to know bow they should be made The same
thing is true with the boys, Many of them will
probably never have occasion to seek employ

THE PROGRESS OF THE WORK.

From the simplest drawings there is a steady
progress shown through the different years up
to the fourth-year work in the High School
when some very creditable drawings from casts
and from figures, water-color sketches and
sketches from still life are TO be seen Nor IL
the work by any means all theoretical There
are samples Of designing work that would have
q commercial value in the market There are
designs for wall papers, done in color and with
N ost pleasing effects
Although rather less extensive in scope than
the work Of the boys the exhibit made by the
girls in the public schools is quite as creditable
and every bit as interesting. There are speci-
mems OF modelling, drawing and designing
quite as good as anything done by their
brothers The part Of their display in which
Mr.. Powell seems TO take the most interest.
however, is the sewing schools From the
simplest little tucks and hens, done with long
and rather ragged stitches by the little girls.
there IL a steady growth shown until the finest
results are to be seen in the completed gowns
and articles OF Undertaking that are on eNhi-
bition. Specimens Of darning that would do
credit to a thorough housewife are there. rents
In cloth and big holes in stockings that have
been made almost as good as new. The girls
are taught, as are the boys in their
line OF work, to design the work thew
are going to do. They taught to cut and
nt by the most approved systems and make
their patterns and designs in paper in a thor
oughly scientific way. Some Of the work is SO
good that it seems hard to believe that il has
been done by girls OF fifteen and sixteen.

gloodless Italian Battle.

AS a rule the art of war was prac-
ticed in 1920 with little too much
regard for rules; it was hide and
seek behind specific bulwarks rather
than warfare. AS Voltaire says, the
soldiers of the land were distributed
between such and such condottieri as
If they were professional harvesters.
The captain of mercenaries upon
one side tried his best to outmaneuver
the captain of mercenaries on the
other side. If he succeeded in getting
the enemy into a corner from which
he could not escape, except by a
desperate engagement absurd to
think of, he sent off a bombastic tale
of victory to his employers and
asked for an increase of pay. And
to make sure that his success should
furnish no excuse for a cessation of
hostilities and the signing of treaties
OF peace (Which meant dismissaD he
straightway shook hands with the
captive general and set him and his
army at liberty, so that the campaign
might be continued.
This was the light in which the
condottieri viewed their responsible
ties. Nor was it difficult to live
through career of battles without
wound at a time when such counsel
as the following was esteemed sage
enough to offer to the STRIPPING SOL
der: you must know that to secure
yourself against artillery you must
be either out of its reach orebehind a
wall, or behind a rampant. And,
moreover, see that the wall be thick
enough" etc.-Macmillan's Maya

Giving a Book a Name.

One couldn't very well make an
arithmetic or a geography alluring
by a title or introduce a work on
comic sections with catchword, and
histories and scientific books gener-
ally are best described by the plain
est sort of title. It would be foolish.
for instance, to send a grave account
OF the wars between the Yorkists
and Lancastrians out into the world
as ''The White Rose and the Red
1t would be unfair to the patrons of
circulating libraries, for one thing,
who would probably take the book
to be new story by Rita or The
Duchess, And yet such dignifed
tones as "a Century of Conflict" or
1.-THE Holy Roman Empire" gain
something from the splendor of their
baptism. In philosophy, too, a tax
ing title has sometimes been origi-
mated. Darwin's Descent of Man" is
a case in point; Schopenhauer's die
Weltals Willie und Vorstellung" is
another, although it is hardly so
captivating as the "Philosophie des
Unbewussten" of Eduard Won Hart
mann. -Blackwood's Magazine.

Lucky People,

There is one thing on which we
may congratulate ourselves-we who
are httle-We who have ESCAPED the
penalties of greatness. That is some
thing. We may at least call our
souls our own. We may have a
taste for onions, raw or fried or
baked or boiled or anyhow, and vet
the world shall not wonder at the
grossness of our appetites. I saw in
an Australian journal the other day
that o certain English actress has a
taste for porter. We may thank our
stars, we little ones, that the fact of
our having a taste for porter is not
flashed around the electric girdles of
the globe. Smith, who passes his
days soaking at the bar of the Tip
piers Tryst, may congratulate him
self that he belongs to the family of
the unknown Smiths. Nobody cares
how much he soaks except his wife
and family. Smith cares nothing
for what they think,
Here, in a French paper lying at
my side, is recorded the fact that a.
well known politician is compelled
to wear a particular kind of boot
owing to peculiarly troublesome
corn which he has on his big toe.

What a Farmer Accomplished.

From a farmer in Virginia Some
years ago I received a request that
he might send me a package of col
ored sketches of wild flowers and
that I would verify or rectify his de-
termination of their names.
Inquiry developed the fact that he
had reached adult age as a farmer
when he began to feel the need of
some subject of thought and interest
outside of his daily work.
Without any scientific help or
knowledge he set about collecting
and naming the birds of the Shenan-
doah valley. Not satisfied with
stuffed specimens he conceived the
idea of painting the birds he collect
ed. With no artistic knowledge or
instruction he ordered paints and
brushes and set himself at work, and
today there are very few artists in
the country who can paint birds
with so much of artistic grace and
scientific accuracy as he.
After a few years, having trans
ferred to paper all the birds of the
region, he procured "Gray's Man
ual" and began to study the plants
of the valley, first determining their
names and then painting them. He
accordingly sent on a package of
colored sketches, artistically attract
i've and SO true to nature that there
was not the slightest doubt as to any
Of the $50 species represented, while
his own unassisted determinations
were so accurate that not dozen
names needed to be altered. Pro

Looking for His Moneys Worth.

In Dundee on one occasion a little
gallery in the hall where Mr.. Max
ORell was 'lecturing was thrown
open to the public at sixpence. He
warned the manager that he was no
attraction for the sixpenny public,
but the manager would have his way.
'"rhe hall was well filled, but not
the little gallery, where I counted"
says Mr.. O'Rell, "about dozen peo-
pie. Two of these, however, did not
remain long, and after the lecture I
was told that they had gone to the
box Office and asked to have their
money returned to them. Why
they said, it's swindle; it's only a
man talkingr "-London Tit Bits.

FONDNESS FOR ANTICLlMAx.
A Few of Many Examples Culled in the
East and the West

Few of Many Examples Culled in the
East and the West.
One of the most laughable fea-
lures about Rudyard Kipling's short
sketches of East Indians, and also
one of the truest to life, say those who
have lived in India. is the strong
tendency the natives Nave to use the
most startling anticlimaxes in their
formal speeches to one another, and
more especially when a native of
low caste or. great poverty petitions
a European for favor. In the lat
ter case the speaker will say some
thing like this:
''Will the presence, whose reputa-
ton for justice is known from east
to west, and whose countenance
spreads joy among his interiors, who
are as the sands of the seashore in
number, graciously deign to take
but an instant's notice of him who
has the almost delirious honor to
name himself one of the most un-
worthy among the servants of the
protector of the poor, and will the
tavorlte son of the lord of the uni
verse magnanimously overlook my
amazing presumption in asking him
for the payment of a bill of two an
mas for hen feed9"
This sort Of thing is not unknown
III this country among the people
who aim at grandiloquent manner
OF speech and whose sense of the
ridiculous is not highly developed.
Courts presided over by unlettered
judges are especially prolific of ex-
amples. For instance, a police JUS
tee IS reported to have sought
to arouse sense of shame in
the breast of a burly negro
prisoner in this way. Prisoner at
the bar! An all wise and all merci-
full Providence has endowed YOU
with an intelligent mind and a pow
erful physique, instead of which
you spend your days in playing
craps and your nights in robbing

At another time the same Justice
sought to impress upon prisoner
who was about to testify in his own
behalf the solemn nature of an oath.
Assuming his most pompous tone, he
thus addressed the culprit: "Pris-
oner at the bar, in taking this sol
emn oath to tell the truth-the whole
truth and nothing but the truth
take care that YOU do not allow
yourself to be tempted by the dan
ger OF your position to commit a will
