The students of the manual training schools are making their im- press in numerous lines. and employers cannot help expressing their Rratitica- ton at the manner in which the stand ard of every craft Is being raised by the superior intelligence which has been thus infused into the mass. While the benefits of the training schools are shar- ed both by the students and by those who become their employers, 1t Is be lieved that the latter should display In q more practical way than hitherto the deep interest felt by them In the sue cess of this system of improving our mechanical trades It Is manual train ing, practical, technical and commer- cial training, that has enabled Germany to push her products into all quarters of the globe, In spite of the greater nat ural endowment of the American and Britisher for manufacturing and trade.

How Slate Pencils Are Made.

Slate pencils undergo number of processes before they are ready for use, and In making them nearly all of the manual labor Is done by boys. First broken pieces of slate are put into a mortar run by steam and are crushed to a powder. which Is then bolted In a machine such as Is used In Touring mills. A fine slate flour results, which Is thoroughly mixed in large tub with steatite flour and other materials, the whole making a stiff dough. The dough Is kneaded by being passed between iron rollers number of times, and 1t Is then taken to a table, where 1t Is made into short cylinders four or five inches in thickness and containing from eight to ten pounds of material each.
 Four of these cylinders are placed in a strong iron retort which has a changeable nozzle so that the size of the pencils may be regulated. In the retort the material Is subjected to great

easy department, many years of travel in all parts of the world having given them the indeflnable polish which your stay-at-home can never hope to attain. Mfr. and Mrs. Austin were trapeze per formers since early childhood. In the course of their professional Journey ings they met and married. travelling and performing together for years. Un- like many others in the same business, they took care of their earnings, in- creasing the same handsomely by sev- eral judiCiOus investments When their two daughters were still little girls they retired and purchased their pres ent home at Bath Beach.
 The two children were sent to q first class school in Brooklyn. from which they recently graduated with marked credit. From their earliest childhood they were carefully trained by MT. Austin. his object being 10 develop their frames so as 10 make them healthy and hearty young women. In this he has been entirely successful, but the training the girls received in the spacious gymnasium at Bath Beach also developed the love for such exer- else, which they inherited from their parents, and last fall they obtained per mission to prepare themselves for pub lie appearance. Now they show daily in a daring trapeze act and also as ceiling walkers. The latter perform ance Is especially thrilling.
 The girls make a charming modest picture when seen together dressed for their act. Aimee, the elder girl, has a great mass of chestnut hair, beautiful blue-gray eyes, and an exceedingly dainty appearance. Marie, the younger. a real beauty, was born In Vienna. Her eyes are dark and she wears her haiR pompadoured over her face. The girls are attended by their father at all per- formances.

He seeks the protection of Government the ex- penses of maintaining which he re- fuses to assist in paying. The fact that the tax rate is always too high can only justify everyone in seeking to reduce it, not to dodge It. and the man who lodges 1t because his opportunities to do so are better than those of his neigh Dor, whose burdens he increases by his dishonor, Is an anarchist and defies the laws as much as the loud-mouthed de claimer who advocates overthrowing the Government.
