perts and instructors When the gov
ernment became interested in the work
the students of the guild schools had
SO thoroughly established their reputa-
tion in the commercial world that the
government thought best to allow the
guilds to continue the supervision of
technical education.
There are over 67 trades and indus
tries in which technical education Is
given in London. The list comprises
almost every class of technical COM
mercial work. 1t includes all the ifr-
portant chemical manufacturing indus
tries, the mining and handling of ores
In all Its branches. milling. the manu-
and spinning, iithography. printing.
masonry. pottery AZ. porcelain, gas
manufacture. iron and steel man
ufacture. paper manufacture, dye
ing. tanning, baking, brewing.
plumbing. watch and clock max
ing. A glance at this comprehensive
but incomplete list of state trade
schools in the various countries of
Europe will discover many subjects
never seen on the technical school
rosters OF this country, but shows the
attention that Is given to technical ed
ucation abroad with the object of per-
fecting and encouraging commercial,
trades and Industries.

How to Enamel Chairs.

Shabby Windsor or bent wood chairs
can be made to look quite smart
enough for bedroom or den" by being
painted over with black enamel paint.
II, when the enamel ne dry, little
bronze paint be smearcd or smudged
over them. Japanese" effect will be
obtained. which will be very pleasing,
and great relief to their somber ap-
pearance. The expressions "smeared'
and "smudged" are used advisedly, for
the bronze should be put on with an
almost dry brush and should merely
cling to the hair, SO that they may
leave certain amount of color when
they are dragged over the black enam-
ell. To regularly paint On the bronze
would be to lose the pretty effect
sought.

Denver, Jan. 2S.--A special to the
Rocky Mountain News from Taos,
New Mexico, says:
An alteration occurred In Taos yes
terday in which Manuel Camado was
BABY beaten. j. w. Poak and Percy
Roberts were arrested for the assault
and taken before the alcalde at the
town of Ranches. The Americans fur
nished an armed escort to and from
Ranches, as Il was feared
there would be an attempt to do tho
prisoners bodily harm. They We're or.
dered to Jail. but refused to go. and
were released on bonds.
The trouble grew out of the recent
killing of the sheriff of Taos, and
young Roberts is Il close friend of AL
bert Clifford. who was accused of kill
ing the sheriff Clifford was recently
discharged and left last week for Cali
fornia.
There is intense feeling among the
friends of both sides, and it is feared
there may be n repetition of the riot

the freezing to death of three prospect

mouth of Copper river. Alaska, was

George Sweezy of New York and Ia

GREAT ATTENTION is BEING
PAID TO THE MATTER.
Cultivation of Trades In EuropD-BsI.
gium Maintains :.b Schools for
Training of Hou.swives and Other
Institutions for workmen

One of the most interesting and in
structive publications issued by the
government for some time is the re-
cent volume on Foreign Trade Poll
cies Of the European Governments" :"
Aside from the treatment OF the mer-
chant marines. colonial policies. tariff
rates and commercial restrictions, the
subject of state-aided technical educa-
tion in the several countries Is very
fully discussed. Many of the branches
taught in these technical schools are
covered to slight extent by private
institutions in our own land, but there
are q great number of special schools
that are entirely unknown here. In
Belgium, for example. there are 225
state schools for the training of young
girls in housekeeping besides some 27
other schools, exclusively for girls.
For the young men. Flanders weaving
appears to be the most important sub
ject. judging from the number of
schools devoted to it. there being no
less than AZ. In addition to these
there are two state tailoring schools,
school of iron and wood workers.
one at Brussels for teaching the art of
printing; two schools devoted to the
advancement of the fishing in
dustries, one at Ostend and the other
at Blankbergh; a school for watch
making and instruments OF precision;
an upholstery and jewelry trade school
and the latest addition, firearms
school. All of these institutions are
maintained by the government for the
purpose of stimulating manufacturing
interests and improving the quality OF
the output of the country.
Political economists have called this
an age Of specialism, and the above list
shows how appropos the name really
is. Great Britain, France. Germany,
Austria and Switzerland all support
schools of somewhat similar character.
In France almost every city renowned
for particular reduction boasts OF one
or more technical schools for the ed,-
cation of the young men and women
in this particular line. the object being
to maintain and improve the standard
of work of their predecessors, and to
introduce the new ideas that may ap-
pear in other communities. Germany
likewise has many great industrial and
national repute The art schools of
Nuremburg and Munich. where wood
carving and metal work and general
decoration are taught, are especially
well known. Then. too. there is TIE
famous electrO-technical school at
Hanover. and the weaving and dyeing
schools at Crefeld. AK and Cottbus.
In Great Britain the Ancient Trade
Guilds Of the city of London practi-
cally control all technical education,
although the government annually
contributes ~ .o0o. 900 to the work. This

the fact that the guilds were the first

There was a pathetic expression whica
affected everyone. She sat watching
the jury during the course of the trial
and at last there was some complaint
that she was attempting by means ol
her glances to excite the sympathy
of the jury. Then Mr.. Brady arose
and in one OF the most touching and
beautiful of all the addresses he ever
made in court he spoke OF the bless
ings which everyone who had an an
probation of beautiful things and
could see them enjoyed, and dwelt for
some moments upon the happy lot OF
the jury, who could see the budding
of the howers-it was then springtime
and the charms of nature, then, sud
denly turning to his client, he said:
THAT blessing is denied my client

to look upon you. gentlemen, there is
no vision in them, for her sight has
been taken from her." She had been
in fact, the victim of total paralysis
of the optic nerve, which had not i'm.

given to them that singularly pathetic
expression which she was thus falsely
charged with employing that she
might secure the sympathies of the

CENTURY ROAD RECORDS.
Little More Fine Weather and
WheeImen Will Do the Rest.

Much interest is being manifested in
road records. Archie Matheis, who rep
resents the Northwest, or Division No 9,
as 1t IS termed, of the Century Road
Club of America, has many inquiries as
10 how to get records allowed The old
Mortified course Will soon have many a
rider scOrching along after that record in
an effort to get the Mace medal that has
been hung up for the first person to
break the record that Mr.. Niedenhofer
holds, which IS six hours and forty-two
minutes. Little by little this time will
be clipped off until some Carmichael or
Bird will put the time so low that no one
will be able to touch the mark Then 1t
will stay so, perhaps, as long as the Han
son record did.
The st. Paul 'Tonka course mapped out
by Archie Matheis will also come in for
its share of competition. The Matheis
medal, gold, will go to the member that
places the time the lowest during the
season. w. B. Dixon now holds the sim

over this course.
