SWEARING IN THE LAST CENTURY.

The early part of the nineteenth cen-
tury was the age of heavy drinking and
bad language Gentlemen swore at each
other because an oath added emphasis
to their assertions. They swore at In
feriors because their commands would not
otherwise receive prompt obedience The
chaplain cursed the sailors because it
made them listen more attentively to his
sdmonitions. Ladies swore orally and IN
their. letters. Lord BraXfield, a famous
Scotch judge, offered to lady at whom

mistaken her for his wife.

a man may readily live thirty miles from
his business. A city with radius Of
thirty miles would cover 2,S27 square
miles-mores than twice the area Of the
state Of Rhode Island. It could contain
100000 peoplessand be no more crowded
than a country village. 1t could contain
100000 and be less crowded than
New York was twenty-five years ago.
The entire present population of the
United States could be accommodated
with the greatest comfort in one such
city, and the entire population of a CEN
fury hence could be accommodated in
half a dozen.
This was without resorting to any of
the means of concentration imagined by
Mr.. II. G. Wells-vast beehives, with tier
upon tier of apartments, inhabited by
swarming multitudes. In city of thirty
miles radius 1O0,000,0OO people could live
with a separate semi-detached house on
a comfortable lot for every family.
And thirty-mile radius, of course is
not the limit. It is only the beginning.
1t is only what a proper organization of
the transportation business would put
within our reach today without a single
new invention. Rapid transit at 100
miles an hour is plainly in sight, and
that means cities of 100 miles radius, or
over 81 900 square miles. It means the
coalescence of New York, Philadelphia,
Baltimore and Washington or, in other
words, the complete obliteration of the
line between city and country and be-
tween one city and another. Most of us
may live to see the time when the terms
urban and rural shall have become obso-
lete, and all life will be Suburban.-Sat-

the board Of education's repair shop Is
a ten-horse power engine that was made
by the students Of the school, and the
engine is doing practical work each day.
These, with the other pieces of work
that may be seen, demonstrate that
great deal can be done by working forty
minutes a day for four years.
The most interesting feature of the
Mechanic Arts high school to st. Paul
people is the fact that it is distinctly a
home institution. There is not another
school in the United States that is being
run or the same principle as the Me-
ual training school, as are all other
public schools Of its nature in the coun-
try. Neither does it follow the example
of the manual training schools Of other
cities in demonstrating principles Moth
ing IS done here to demonstrate prin-
clples. When it is Intended To explain
the principle of making a joint, the joint
is made while making something of use.
Everything that is cone is practical, and
when finished the pupil has something
to take home and show his parents whas
he has learned to do
The work of the school has been en-
tiIely satisfactory for the last four years,
and the outlook for the future is that it
will be more successful Over $50 chill
dren are attending the school now, and
this alone is enough to prove that the
Mechanic Arts high school is success
and that the work that it is doing is
meeting with the approval of the people.

only a branch Of the high school and at
tempted to add a little to the work OF
the regular schools This did not prove
a success and after trying it for several
years it was determined to make it an
Independent high school and establish 1t
In a building of its own. Accordingly this
was done and the Mechanic Arts high
school became what it is today.
Aeademic Studies Not Neglected.
In this school no attempt is made to
lay aside the regular academic studies
and substitute in their stead the manual
arts Instead of this the literary studies
are taken up just as they are in any
other high school, but in addition to
them a training is given in the manual
arts. Latin, geometry, algebra, trigo-
nometry surveying, literature and the
various other branches Of a high school
course are taken up and studied care
fully. The mental faculties are thor
oughly trained, but the education of the
student does not end here. They are
taught not only to know, but to do The
hand is trained to follow the direction
of the mind and to do many things that
may in after life be of great value to the
student.
AT first children were received into the
schools who had completed the seventh
grade, but now only those who have
completed the course in the grammar
schools and are ready to enter any of
the other high schools of the city are
allowed to take up studies in the Me-
chanics Arts. This changes the school
from an ordinary manual training school
TO a technical high school to which des-
ignation it is rightfully entitled.
The boy who is ready to enter high
school and who makes application for
admission to the Mechanics Arts is put
to a study of several of the branches that
he would naturally take up were he to
enter any of the other high schools Of
the city. They do not attempt to sub
stitute the mechanical training for any
of the literary studies, but simply to sup
plement those studies with a training
in mechanics. They simply aim to train
the hand and physical faculties Of the
child, as We'll as to develop the mental
qualities. In this article it is the inten-

forth a great deal of praise from those
who witness it.
AS one goes through the various rooms
that are given over to the manual tram
ing, sees the children at work and is
shown the samples of the work that Is
done by the students, he is compelled TO
ask: us it possible for children to learn
to do this in four short years HIS
surprise grows to wonder when he $
told that all this is accomplished in four
years and then by working but forty
minutes each day. How it can be done
in that time is really a wonder, but that
1t Is done is an actual fact. The children
spend but one recitation period eacn DAY
in the shops and yet they learn to do
wonders in these lines
The fact that only forty minutes
day are spent in the shops explains why
they are able to take a full academic
course, and in addition learn the MAMMAL
arts that are taught. AS Prof. George
Weitbrecht, principal of the school, puts
it: ''They are simply taking the regular
academic course, but they utilize their
moments of exercise in the shops The
forty minutes each day are scarcely
more than the average boy needs tc de-
vote to exercise and physical training,
and the work in the shops, in addition
to giving him the needed exercise, trains
him to do for hlmSe1f that "tlich WIN
be of considerable value to him in hls
after life.
Make Real Furniture.
In and about the building are various
little articles of furniture that have been
made by the children in the shops. In
the principals Office is a beautiful oak
office desk that was made a year or so
ago. Another one Of these desks is In
the office of Mr.. Healy, secretary of the
school board A careful investigation Of
these samples Of their workmanship will
convince one that the training that is
given in the woodwork shops is quite
thorough and enables the boys to do
fine work. The machine shop has Slso
turned out some nice pieces of work. In

MARK TWAIN ON MEDICINE.

Mark Twain talked recently at the Eel
low Citizenship Association of the East
Side Settlement. at Seventy-stxth street
and the East river His talk was more
medical than anything else.
Mr.. Clemens interrupted himself to ex>
press his conviction that three slices OF
ripe watermelons would cure the severest
case of dysentery. He said he had seen
it tried several times. and it had never
failed.
Mr.. Clemens talked of various simple
remedies for all sorts of diseases that
lay unused at every mans hand. He
spoke of clergyman friend, to Whom
he had impaired the secret of his own
luXuriant hair-a stiff hair brush and
nothing else-and told how that friends
insisted on using a hair restorer that sent
him to his pulpit three consecutive sun
days with green hair.
Then Mr. Clemens began to talk of his
own experiences.
For eight years. he said, Il was trou-
bled with Indigestion, which took the
form of an instruction in my stomach
after L went to bed. The various things
I thought were good things began quar-
reling among themselves, and trying to
agree upon a fusion ticket that would
win out. Four years ago 1 was in a for
eign land where there were no drug
stores, so L mad to resort 10 the SWedlSn
cure, which does not allow one to take
medicine Therefore, 1 used carbonate
of soda every night. When the heart
burn came on 1 took a handful of it.
One night when 1 had no soda l said to
myself, I would rather stand the pain.
Purely by accident | stretched myself on
my left side, and, curiously enough, the
pain passed away. ] made the same eX-
pertinent several times with the same
result.
when I went to LONDON 1 spoke to
my friend, who is the secretary of the
Royal Medical society, and asked him
why the heartburn passed away when l
lay on my left side He said he didn t
know Well, that was in a place where
doctors were passing through each day
by the hundred, and I asked him to see
If any Of them could tell me. None of
them could. One doctor-a very famous
one, no less than Sir William Thomp-
son-said he remembered hearing of 1t fif-
ty years ago, when his own heartburn
was cured that way by an old man in
Germany, but he had never thought Of 1t
since There was a case where simple
and certain cure was in his hands and
yet he had forgotten it and emptied drug
stores into patients without result .

NO LONGER A DANGER.

A quarter of a century ago the conges-
ton of population in cities was the dark
est cloud on the horizon of modern life
The social forces of the time acted as q
huge compressor, packing more and ever
more people into a rigidly limited area.
The size of the cities could not substan.
TALLY increase-the people had TO be
within horse car distance of the places
in which they earned their livings-ana
the only recourse seemed to be to pile
story upon story of dark, unsanitary
tenements Philadelphia had still ma1n>
tanned the old tradition of the family
home. but even there it seemed as if the
tenement could not be kept out much
longer.
Rapid transit and the telephone have
changed the whole outlook. The growth
of cities is no longer alarming, for the
cities are growing in extent even faster
than in population, and such overcrowd-
ing as remains is largely a mere tradt>
tional survival. City and country are
merging, and it will soon be impossible
to tell where one ends and the other be,
gins.
A city used to be a little black dot on
the map. Now it is a great splotch. It
used to be a small subdivision of a coun.
ty Now New York city contains four
entire counties, and is overfowing into
half dozen more, in two states. With

course is given and the students are
taught how to make draugnts of different
kinds of machinery The course that is
given in this particular line is quite thor
oEgh, and graduates of the school have
gone out to responsible positions in this
line of work. On the walls of the me-
chanical drawing room can be seen spec
linens of tae work done by students, and
these specimens show that in this de-
partment the boy learns to make accur-
ate and practical draughts of various
kinds of machines.
Work for Girls.
There are a great many girls who at
tend the Mechanic Arts high school and
the course that is given them, while it
does not include the shop and mechanical
drawing that the boys take, yet 1t is
very practical in its particular line.
They are taught free hand drawing and
in it they become quite proficient. Tho
most interesting part of the course that
they take is the work in the modelling
room Here they learn to mould the
plastic clay and to form pretty models
from the patterns that are placed before

ton to deal only with the manual train
ing work of the school and not to touch
upon the literary work, which is first
class.
Eegins in Joining Room.
The boy who enters the school is first
put in the joining room, where he is
given a few lessons in the use of tools
and in doing simple little jobs with them.
Here he learns the use of such tools as
planes, squares saws and hammers and
how to manipulate them in making
countless little trinkets, the manufacture
of which requires thorough understand
ing of the use OF sucn tools
After spending some weeks in the join
ing room and becoming familiar with the
work that is done there, he is pro-
NOTED to The turning room.
There he learns how to use the turning
lathe and to turn out pieces OF work in
various shapes After he is able to
perform the exercises required Of a
bginnner he then makes such small
things as file handles, round boxes and
Indian clubs. He learns to use the lathe

That true education is the art of train

such way as to render them Of greatest

battle with life is the principle that I'M
Gerlies the work of the Mechanic Arts
high school of st. Paul. 1t was with this
principle in mind that the founders OF
the institution began the school, but the
results that have been accomplished have
gone great ways -arther in this lire
than they at first expected to attain.
What has been accomplished demon
strates that great deal can be done in
training children in the manual arts, and
at the same time not in any way Interfere
with their academic studies.
The Mechanic Arts high school had its
beginning about fourteen years ago,
when Prof B. F. Wright was city super
intendent of schools. He conceived the
idea that a manual training school would
be of great value to the city and began
to labor to have it established. When he
preached the matter to the board of edu~
cation, while he met with some OPPOSE
ton vet he found a staunch supporter
in the person Of l.. A. Gilbert, who was
a member of the board Mr. Gilbert
readily took up with the idea and be-
gan to labor with MS fellow members
to secure the adoption of the resolutions
necessary for it's establishment. The
resolutions finally were passed and the
manual training school became reality
in ST. Paul over fourteen years ago.
Like all other innovations, the school
had its ups and downs. At no time was
there any decided hostility shown by the
people against the institution, but for
several years it failed to receive the
popular support that it needed in order
to be a success. While people were not
condemning, it as an institution, yet they
