Lieutenant Governor Savage spoke OF the
States inst!tu ions for the poor and un-
fortunate. Mr. Bryan spoke OF Charity"
He said he was interested in the presenta-
ton of facts that had been given Char

methods OF treating with poverty are verl-
Gus.
We are compelled to take an interest in
charity: first. by our selfish interests. Dis
tress leads to crime: property and life are
safe In proportion as people are happy.
1T is a great qualification TO give. hut
the higher reason is that charity is A duty.
Circumstances have great deal to do
with our lives. A man achieves because he
has an ideal. but who gave these ideals?

WINTER EVENINGS.
Plsasant way to spend Them IN WOOD
Carving

Carving
There are some who have long urged
the extension Of home or domestic in
dustries to both town and village
workers. By home Industries is meant
those handicrafts 40 many Of which
could be carried on in the workers
own homes-rich or pool-and which
would do much to interest and to in
crease the income Of those engaged In
them. When we look at the industries
carried on in the workers homes
abroad, especially in the rural dis
tricts, 1t does seem rather surprising
that we should lag behind. In Switz-
erland Matchmaking. except at Geneva.
is mostly carried on as a domestic in
dustry. IN the Jura, parts OF the
watch are fabricated in nearly every
house by some member or members
Of the family. silk-weaving in Eur
ich. Aargau and other eantons Is car
ried on by means Of looms lent to the
workers. In Germany the famous
Black Forest clocks are almost entire
" a domestic industry, while toys In
any quantity come from the Thurin-
gian workmen. In Austria home in
dustries are common, spinning. weav-
ing, wood-turning. wood-earving. en-
broidery work. basket-making. straw
plating, etc. being very extensively
carried on in this way. There Is
every reason why thousands in our
great towns, In our small towns and
in our villages might apply themselves
to some form or other Of handlcraft
work as the winter season comes and
when the evenings are so long. Work
such as that contemplated-woo
ing. fret work. repousse work, bent
iron work, wood turning. embossed
leather work. modelling in leather, etc.
ARE not difficult to learn; the tools
required are not expensive, and with
a little industry and some Organiza-
tion, both pleasure and profit would
accrue to those engaging in them. In
the country districts the question OF
organization is more serious than in
large towns, though It Is a detail not
impossible TO overcome. Il Is a very
remarkable thing that We should i'm
port so many hundreds OF thousands
Of dollars worth Of knickknacks and
Of little articles OF utility principally
because our own people do not them
selves know the way to produce them.
Take the case OF wood-carving alone
as an Illustration OF what is meant by
the inexpensive character Of beginning
It. Here the learner requires at first
three chief kinds Of tools-namely.
some gouges. two or three fiat chisels
and veining tool or two. With these
he may practice simple designs. A lit
tie later he may go In for some carv-
ing punches and a few other tools, all
Of which. from the very start. would
cost him but very little. The art. too
Is by no means difficult to learn by
any one who takes an interest In it.
What he has chiefly to remember Is
not to copy too slavishly the designs
Of others. but to show his originality
in creating designs and work Of his
own. What applies to wood-carving
applies in the main to all these do.
