1t is said that in order to keep on
peaceable terms with his wife, man
over near Elyria located his windmill
where it would rock the cradle, run
sewing machine, mix bread, churn,
and kick the dog. He wanted to fix it
so it would talk about the neighbors,
but his wife rose to question of per-
sonal privilege and he was forced to
sustain it. He says it won't do to
crowd labor-saving machinery too fast
on some people.

By actual count, about one hundred
rigs were hitched on our streets at one
time last Saturday, and other rigs by
the dozen were going and coming con-
stantly. There was nothing unusual
going on; it seemed to be spontan-
eous movement in the direction of our
stores where the people find what they
want at reasonable prices. Last Satur-
day was no exception to the general
rule. 1t is so almost every Saturday
when the weather is favorable.

1t is designed, with the co-opera-
tion Of the representative people Of the
city to organize school Of this
nature here.
The distinctive feature of this work is
system which provides for cutting all
parts Of the costumes, while methods
of cutting are usually limited to cut
ting waist Innings. This superior plan
of work cuts all styles, including the
trimmings and draperies and as the
work is easily learned the pupils are
enabled in few weeks to draft exact
accurate patterns for all styles of cos
tunes from any magazine or fashion
plate.
That the ladies need higher educa-
tion in this useful work is shown in
the fact that very few ladies can cut
and make their own costumes. While
we live in an advanced age in which
the facilities for education abound to
such an extent that the arts and ac-
complishments are enjoyed by the
public, yet, in the face of all this en-
lightenment the masses of the people
cannot make a fine costume. This
state of affairs cannot exist. There
are schools and conservatories in
which all other branches OF education
are taught and now it is proposed that
this, the most important feature of
practical domestic education, shall
keep pace with the other advancements
Of the times The attention which
fashionable people everywhere are
giving to this work is encouraging.
For years the masses Of the people
have been unable to cut and make
their costumes and while the public
are educating themselves In the arts
and sciences, many are neglecting the
most important and most useful fea-
ture OF practical education. The
hand and eye should be taught as well
ts the mind. Girls should be trained
so as to be helpful and useful rs well
rs accomplished and entertaining, and
the general movement in all parts Of
the country to teach the girls house,
keeping, cooking and costume making
indicates that society is to be revolu-
toned for the better.
Yours respectfully,

be questioned that a proffer of friendly
mediation by you would suffice to delay

DECLINE WITH THANKS.
FiIipinOs Reply to the Ameri'
can Proposition.

Manila, Sept. 19.-Noon-rhe CORE
spondent here of the Associated Press
has obtained a copy of the reply adopt
ed by the Filipino congress to the
American offer of an autonomous gov
ernment.
The author of the reply was Am
brosio Rianzares, who was offered a
position in the supreme court, but who
failed to appear and was supposed to
be detained by the insurrectionists.
The document repeats the arguments
contained in the recent appeal to the
powers for recognition and the Filipino
claims that the Americans were the ag-
gressors in the war and concludes:
Notwithstanding the foregoing, we
could have accepted your sovereignty
and autonomy if we had not seen by
the behavior of the Americans in the
beginning that they were strongly op-
posed to US, through race prejudice and
the high-handed methods of dealing
with US made US fear for the future in
your hands.
