Cal and intellectual activities of the
Individual, but to the intercourse of

the constructive method, as against
that of oramming with rules and
definitions tho children do not assim-

ance and repeated experiment,
out of which the definition,
rule or truth naturally grows,
and thus becomes the lasting
possession of the child. n
There is complete correlation and
CO. ordination in the intellectual and
manual work. Things thought out
arc wrought out !: thus the hand be-
comes the outlet for the rising flood
of the mind, and self-activity and
self-expression are induced. The
child finds himself creator, for the
avenues arc opened by which he dis
covers himself and gains possession
and use of his faculties. He is the
centre of the universe, and making
longer and longer excursions into the
unknown, discovers the world about
him and his relation &c IT,"

The Local PAPER.

There is hardly a successful mer-
chant, in this country or any other
country, in this town Or in any other
town, big or little, who does not
believe in advertising, and who
allows his local paper to 60 to press
without his advertisement. SO ac-
customed are merchants to adver-
tising in the newspapers, and so &C.
customed is everybody to read the
newspapers, that few appreciate or
realize that neither the business nor
the social world could, in these mod
ern days, run smoothly without the
newspaper or advertising.

Sixteenth Century Dress.

Extravagance in dress reached i;s
zenith in the sixteenth century, the
Tudor period in England. This was
the period of silken hose. Doubtlots
wero slashed, that is to say, fine and
costly pieces of cloth were let into
them. Shoes were of velvet or satin.
with elaborate ornaments upon them.
Hats were made of beaver, and wer
very costly, or of velvet, into which
costly jewels or rare feathers were were
inserted. Hall, the chronicler, gives
detailed account of the dress of
Henry VIII. He wore coat of
velvet, embroidered with gold or
damash. The sleeves were out and
lined with cloth Of gold. The gar
ments were tied together with great
buttons of diamonds, rubies and
orient pearls. Shirts were plated
and embroidered with gold, silver or
silk. Over all he would wear
cloak of rich and varied fur. Tho
dress Of ladies was almost as rich and
oxtravagant. In the early part of
the century the steeplo headdress
that projected almost yard above
the head was worn. Besides this, rich
stomachers were worn, and dresses
in endless variety of valuable q uff. +,
Much jewclry was also worn. Tho
reason for this display and extrava-,
gance is 10 be found in tho fact that
the nobility after tho Wars of tho
Roses WAS an upstart nobility, atom
ing for its novelty by it's splendor.
The Tudor was also eager to bene-
fit the commercial classes by bring
ing q variety of trade to them.
Henry VIII moreover was endowed
with 8 great love for personal aaosn-
mont. lie gave great impetus to
extravagant habits by the splendor
with which he met Francis on the
Field of the Cloth of Gold. Renais-
sance also, with it's Italian origin, had
spread to England, and revived the
the taste for the ornate and the
beautiful. .-

He has at Washington Reform Bureau,
which devotes itself to promoting "those
Christian reforms on which the churches

bill TO prohibit the sending OF pictures or
accounts of prize fights through the mails

are getting to be commercial undertakings

prize-hghting industry. But the country
must be in pretty good moral condition
when the Lyman Bureau Reformers can
find nothing more important toreform than
the once scientific but now commercial pur-
suit of prize fighting,
1t cannot be the little whack at the free

Southern Anti-Expansionists and the

ocratic anti-expansionists talking about

pnd that consequently the Philippines, in
habited by several races OF inferior politi-
cal development, should not become a part
Of the United States.

known certainty that either force or fraud
will be used when necessity arises or the

tion is that OF an inferior race. practically
excluded from citizenship and living In tho
discretion and at the mercy Of the ruling
race They may have privileges. but they
can hardly be said to have rights.
Yet at the mere mention Of political in
equality in the Philippines, every Southern

pumps sobs from his indignant windpipe.
