the man suddenly disappeared and with
him the best horse in the merchants

the manual training happens to take the

Swedish, but no English word expresses
the meaning as well. and consequently the
Scandinavian mOnosvllable is retained.
SlOyd is specially designed for reaching
older children than attend the kinder

order, concentration and artistic ability in
directly, without the child being really
conscious of what is being done for him.
In Santa Barbara the town is specially
mad over the Froebel idea and It's
branches. They have there a very fine
building. which is called the SlOyd School.
In it the kindergarten cooking school and
kitchen garden are located. Many years
ago Mrs. Kate Douglas Wiggin. wealthy
woman and famous lltterateur, founded
the first kindergarten school in Santa Bar

its kind in the State. That was seventeen

ference between the struggling little white
house where her school was kept and the
preteutous modern structure where three
salaried teachers garden hundred
children each day. The change is partly
due to the fact that Froebel and the
children have a wealthy patroDeSs who
has her winter home in Santa Barbara, aud
she it is who has given the funds for the
school.
There are ninety public school girls in
the cooking schools alone and sixteen from
St. Vincent's Convent. These girls meet
after school hours and are divided into
groups of fourteen. For two hours after
school each day, a group under the direc-
tion of a teacher cook various things.
The girls are all over twelve. so that they

1t is a most interesting thing to watch
the boys at work. They display the great
est interest and are perfectly unconscious
of the presence of visitors. Only when
some one anxious to get nearer view
Joggles their arms they look annoyed.
When the class was organized each boy
was presented with compre hensive apron
which covered him from heat 10 foot. The
material was of striped ticking, and the
boys protested against wearing them. at
length they wero prevailed upon to do so,
and they assented because Miss Rich wore
one herself of The same cut, but different
material. The other day the aprons had
not returned from the laundry and the
boys were obliged to work without them.

over the lack were the identical lads who

LEAVES AND BUDS.
The Wild Flowers of
Marin County.
HILLSIDES ALL AFLAME.
In No Part of the World Can Such
Rich and Varied Flora Be
Found.
HILLSIDES ALL AFLAME.

The wonderful beauty and abundance of
the wild flowers Of California is matter
Of surprise and pleasure to all visitors to
the State, Native Californians have be-
come so used TO the hillsides of flaming
color and forests and valleys filled with
blossoms that they seldom give them more
than a passing glance, or perhaps they
will pull a bunch of flowers. but never
stop to think just how bountiful nature is
in this blessed land. In the southern part
of the State and In the interior valleys the
wild flowers have long since dried up and
died. but around San Francisco they are in
their glory.
The places most prolific in wild flowers
just now are the hills of the Preside Res
ervation and that portion OF Marin County
at the base of Mount Tamalpais known as
Mill Valley. The latter Is the most popu-
lar for those who love botany. as the va
riety of plants that grow there is almost
unlimited. 1t is also the most popular
place for those who love flowers just be-
cause they are beautiful.
The supply of flowers really seems inex-
haustible. Thousands OF people are con-
stantly picking them, and yet every hill
side is covered with carpet of flowers.
AT casual glance it will appear as if
there are only three or fonr varieties. but
a close examination will reveal twenty or
thirty kinds of bright-colored blossoms
and as many more plants that do not
bloom.
One week ago. on a square yard of soil,
twelve blooming plants were found that
are shown in the accompanying picture.
OF course every square yard will not con-
tain as many varieties, but there will be
other plants. more beautiful, perhaps. 1t
is Sc ldom. though, that square yard can
be found that will not contain at least
eight different kinds of flowers.
1t is strange how the colors seem to be
selected for the purpose of producing har-

size. but are the same as those used by
housewives in general, only infinitely
brighter and newer. Everything shines at
the cooking school. At night. when the
class of cooks leaves the building. each
desk is in apple-pie order. and everything
is left exactly as it was found, for order is
one of the cardinal virtues taught by force
of example at the school Besides all this
educational value. there are some practical
benefits to be derived. The girls begin on

either. and the most appetizing odors float
out upon the air during cooking hours.
The ingredients are furnished by the
school. ana sometimes the girls take home
specially successful dishes, or else eat them
themselves. Occasionally something Is
spoiled, but not often, for the teacher
keeps close supervision.
In the upper part of the building the
boys are working at the Sloyd, while the
girls are cooking. 1t Is not the Intention
to exclude girls from the beneht OIL the
Sl0yd training. but as there is but one
teacher aud only twenty carpenter-taDles.
the boys are given the preference. Inc
girls have the coOking-schOol and the
kitchen garden on Saturdays, where all
sorts of housekeeping are taught, so the
boys occupy the Sloyd tables. and there
are but two girls among the hundred VINO

1t was in December, 1892, that the Sloyd
Scnool was ready 10 Open and advertised
for pupils. On the appointed dav about
12O boys applied. Of these the first 100
that came were chosen. These were
divided into sections of twenty each and
the work began It is a three years
course and these youthful carpenters
began at the beginning At ten minutes
before they are dismissed from their
schools and come trooping down 10 the
Sloyd building. That they like TO come is
evidenced by the fact that the attendance,
though entirely voluntary, is extremely
regular, and the feet that come up the
stairs are neither slow nor heavy.

CONCERNING VENTILATION.
The Benefit of Open Windows in
SIeeping Apartments.

The ancient prejudice against night air
is dying out People generally are COM
ing TO believe that since 1t is the only
kind to be had for ten or twelve hours
out of twenty four, it is wise to make
the best of it and not to try to use over
again that which has been doing duty
for hours before. People for the most part
sleep with their windows open, but the
impression seems to prevail that the small
er the opening the better. From two to
four inches at the top seems to be the IA
vorite eXpause, and on damp night this
is promptly closed, says the New York
World.
The wider the opening is the better for
the sleeper. A room flooded with fresh
air during the night, even though it be
trif1e cold in consequence. Is much to
be preferred 10 a room into which the
fresh air has been allowed only to
filter. Extra bed clothes are the solu-
ton of the difficulty about temperature.
| will protect the sleeper from direct
draught. The woman whose lungs are
allowed to fill themselves with fresh air
when they are in their least restricted and
compressed state Is the woman who is
| going to laugh headaches TO scorn and
| forget the meaning of lassitude.
Damf air, OF course, is not so pleasant a
thing to fill room and ones lungs with ;
but damp air, fresh from out of doors,
| is certainly to be preferred to ancient,
much breathed indoor air. The win
dow should be opened as much as
on other nights, unless there Is danger of
the rain beating In. The protection
against taking cold must take the form OF
extra bedding, screen, and, II one is
susceptible to dampness. some sort OF q
modernized nightcap. Even damp night
air is robbed OF many of its terrors by
such simple precautions.
The benefits that result from wide-open
bedroom windows are many. The lungs
have hreathed what they should breathe
all night. The blood receives its proper
amount of oxygen and is prepared to do its
work better. The morning finds the
sleeper brisk, alert and hungry.
And all these things mean much to
women. They mean even temper, good
digestion, control of nerves, and, what
some women count as the greatest blessing
of all. good complexion.
Every woman should have at her bed
side a pair OF crochetted or knitted
slippers. W hich she may slip on as soon
as she arises. A warm bathrobe should
be conveniently near. so that even if
burglars come or the children develop
Group in the middle of the night she may

clad. Far more colds result from hasty

than from all the open windows in city.

mixed and blended together on a single

tering effect on the skins OF some people.
1t is not nice to handle. but it produces
one of the most beautiful effects OF all the
flowers that grow on the hills.
AS the trail Is assembled it winds through
small belts Of timber. and in the cool
shade of small pines plants grow that do
not thrive out in the sunshine. Where a
stream of water makes its way down the
mountain side the banks will be lined
with brakes or tree ferns of enormous
size. These plants are a pale green
in color and have a peculiar way of coming
into existence. A small stem shoots from
the ground until it is about three feet IN
length, and then the upper end commences
to uncurl. 1t looks very much like an
ideal shepherds crook that has been
twisted up few times. In day or SO
little feathery leaves shoot out and in less
than a week become large tree. 1t is a
beautiful plant, graceful In form and
pleasing in appearance.

Thousands of people climb the hills Of
Marin County every week, searching 1or
wild flowers, but, naturally, more go on
Sunday than any other day. And sucn
quantities of flowers as they get. When
they are seen on the ferry-boat IL does not
seem possible that so many could be found
In such a small section of country. People
carry them In baskets and boxes. and large
bouquets Of them are piled over the seats.
For the time being the terry-boat is per-
feet bower of beauty. Flowers are every
whore, and in the greatest variety OF color.
The people who have the flowers guard
them jealousy aud seem as II they bad
some purpose in view in taking them home.
1t may be that some of the blossoms Will
be carried into sick ROOMS to give the lnva-
lid az idea Of the beautiful world outside.
where birds sing and flowers grow.
Should the flowers that are brought into
San Francisco from Marin County every
Sunday be left on the ferry-boat it would
take many wagons and horses to haul
them away. In no part of the world can
such an abundance of wild flowers be seen
at one time, and such sight in any other
city in the country would fill the people
with wonder.
The wild flower season is now at its
height, but it will not be for long. The
dry season has commenced and in few
weeks the hlllsides, now green, will take
on somber brown tint, and only few OF
the harder varieties can be found in few
favored localities. But while the season
lasts nature is most bountiful. and it 10
