IMPROVEMENT FOR BOYS.

The training in citizenship and poll
teal methods was only less valuable
than the training in practical thrift
and industrial economies. The several
industrial classes were allowed to be
represented in the two chambers OF the
republics congress- Each industrial
class elected one member of the house
of representatives for every twelve per-
sons, and elected one member of the
senate. Representatives were elected
fol, a term of one week, and senators
for a period of two weeks. Thus the
experience of conducting an election
wsLs enjoyed eight or nine times in the
course of the two months. The ballot
ing was carried on in approved fash
ion, and SO the members of Mr.
Georges little commonwealth were pre-
pared to understand not only what
elections mean, but all about the con-
duct and machinery of elections, the
necessity for pure and honest elections
in a self-governing community, and the
proper safeguards to protect the exer-
else of the elective franchise.-F'rom

they were among the lower peasant

A Start Made, at the Union Iron

The construction of two 1,OOO ton COM

eminent has been begun at the Union
Iron works, San Francisco. They are the
first of their model to be built on the
Pacific coast Cramp is constructing four
with auxiliary sail power. but those under

steam. IQ
These gunbeats are to be TIA feet long
and "a feet wide, Their mean draught
will be II feet and their speed knots
an hour. They VIII be provided with
twin screws, and be perfect little yachts.
Their cost will be $250,O0 each, and, with
guns and full equipment 100000 each.
Thus far the lzeels have been laid. Fair
progress is being made. 1t, is expected
to launch them about midsummer, and
have them completed in about year.
The gunboats will have steel frames and
wooden planl1ing. They will be thorough

not to require frequent dry docking when
in foreign stations. They are intended for
river and shallow water service, and will
likely be utilized on the Chinese coast.
