The leading education experts,
not only in America but every
where else are now insisting that
manual training shall go into the
schools in all the grades from the
lowest to the highest. 1t is not
only a question of learning to do
by doing, but the question of de-
veloping all the brain area while
the child is going to school, This
can be done only when the sense
OF touch plays an equal part with
the sense of sight and the sense
of hearing in the education of a
child. 1t is now known as ply
sioIogical fact, that the brain area
which must be developed through
the sense of touch is much larger
than the brain area developed by
the sense of sight or the sense Of
the hearing,

In an able speech before the
State Teachers Association at
Chattanooga, Tennessee, Hon. S,
q. Heiskell Of Knoxville declared
that no people can succeed that
does not nourish public education.

that state does not consist Of
houses ard lands and factories and
harbors and railroads and orchards
and climate; the state consist of
people, and as the people are ed
uca.ed the state becomes wealthy,
and as the people are ignorant the
state remains poor. No matter
what our resources may be. it
takes an intelligent people to de-
velop them. Ignorant people do
not know how, or when or where
to develop the gifts Of nature, and
they sit and do nothing until

The Marrying Age.

The marrying age, according to sta.
tistics, is steadily advancing. This
accounts, perhaps, for another fact,
that women are beginning to look
younger and more girlish in the shady
tWenties and the early thirtiee than
they used to do. Twenty-Five years
ago woman OF 80 who was unmarried
would have been regarded as hopeless
I'D maid. Now she is quite a girl at
that age and her marriage is still
thought Of. II We continue to grow
old In this leisurely fashion the very
name "old maid' will disappear from
our vocabulary, if indeed it has not
done 90 already.

CHAPTER II.

We met next day, as he had arrang-
ed, and inspected his rooms at No.
22lB Baker street. of which he had
spoken at our meeting.
They consisted of a couple of COM
Portable bedrooms and single. large,
airy sitting room, cheerfully furnished
and Illuminated by two broad win
doTs.
So desirable in every way were the
apartments, and so moderate did the
terms seem when divided between us
that the bargain was concluded upon
the spot and we at once entered into
possession.
That very evening I moved my
things round from the hotel. and on
the following morning Sherlock Holm.
es followed me with several boxes and
DoTtmanteaus.
For a day or two we We're busiiv
employed in unpacking and laying out
our property to the best advantage.
That done, We gradually began TO set
Cle down and to accommodate our
selves to our new surroundings.
Holmes was certainly not a difficult
man TO live with. He was quiet in his
ways. and his habits were regular.
II was rare for him to be up after
ten at night. and he had invariably
breakfasted and gone out before I rose
in the morning.
Sometimes he spent his day at the
chemical laboratory, sometimes in the
dissecting rooms, and occasionally
in long walks. which appeared to take
him into the lowest portions of the
city. Nothing could exceed his energy
when the working fit was upon him:
Dut now and again a reaction would
seize MIN, and for days on end ne
would lie upon the sofa in the sitting
room, hardly uttering a word or NOV
ing a muscle from morning to night.
On these occasions I have noticed
such a dreamy. vacant expression in
his eyes that might have suspected
him of being addicted to the use of
some narcotic had not the temperance
and cleanliness of his whole life for.
hidden such a notion.
AS the weeks went by, my interest
IN him and my curiosity as to his aims
in life gradually deepened and increas
ed.
His very person and appearance were
such as to strike the attention of the
most casual observer. In height ne
was rather over six feet. and so exces-
siveiy lean that he seemed to be con-
siderably taller.
His eyes were sharp and piercing,
save during those intervals of torpor
20 which l have alluded; and his thin,
hawk.like nose gave his whole express
sion an air of alertness and decision.
His chin, too, had the prominence
and squareness which mark the man
of determination.
His hands were invariably blotted
With ink and stained with chemicals,
yet he was possessed of extraordinary
delicacy of touch, as frequently had
occasion to observe when l watched
