The term manual training is mar

practice such as carpentry. wood
turning and carving and work i'm
metals. Broadly. it may be applied
to all hand work, such as painting,
drawing. clay modelling. basketry,
weaving. woodwork, metal work,
sewing and cooking. Any subject
studied is of value to the student in
the ratio of the mental discipline.

study geometry and Latin; under
the second we study the English
language. physiology. hygiene and
physics; under the third we study
literature, music, drawing and his

.'When nearly all classes were
agricultural there was little need of
manual training but the division of
labor and the congregating of men
into cities has removed large pOr
ton of the population from the ne
cessity of learning To use their hands
and evils follow. Training in hand
work is training in the art of eN-
preston. Manual training stimu-
lates some of the best traits of char
acter. such as industry. confidence
in ones powers. perseverance, dig

The Motor Class.
Zone of the greatest school prob
lens at the present time is to induce
BOYS to enter school and to hold
them after they come. We can de-
velop them some if they lend their
presence but their absence gives no
opportunity for this. \ large por-
ton of boys form what is known as
the motor class. That *, they learn
to do only by doing. Manual train
ing is the only hold the school has
upon this very numerous class.
Public schools are democratic in
stitutions. They are for the masses.
Their course of study should be
adapted to the needs of the masses.
All persons of experience i'm school
work know that the motor boy can
do good work i'm the shop or the lab
oratory. Can we rightly deny him
the opportunity? 1t is urged that
the public schools are not meant to
fit the pupils for special callings but
contend that the training of the
hands to do the ordinary things of
life isvnot a preparation for special
calling any further than is the study
of the ordinary branches taught for
ages past. The uses of manual
trimming are manifold. 1t awakens

GATHERING OPIUM,

How the Petals and Juice of the Poppy S Plant Are Procured.
 It is sort of garden cultivation, the poppy plant being grown in little squares or beds intersected by tiny wa ter channels for irrigation wherever this is possible. The growth of the. plants is carefully tended, and at length the time comes when they burst out into flower, and the fields look like a sheet of silver as the white petals of the flowers glisten in the morning dew.
 These beautiful petal are the first produce of the crop, for the women and children of the cultivators families come forth and pick them off one by one and carefully dry them, so that they may serve afterWard as the cover ing of the manufactured cakes of opium. Then the peoples, with their bare capsule heads, remain standing in the open field until it is considered that they are ripe for lancing. The culti- svators then come forth in the evening, and, with an implement not unlike the knives of a, cupping instrument, they scarify the capsule on it's sides with deep incisions, so that the juice may exude.
 In the early morning the cultivators reappear with a scraping knife and ytheir earthenware pots, and they scrape off the exuded juice and collect it in their pots.. And this is crude opium.-Blackwood's s Magazine.

GOT TO GO.

Men of Family Must Work, Sick or We'll.
 Good food and the right kind will carry a man through almost anything Commenting on the power of Grape Nuts, an Oakland wife writes of the experience of her husband.
 1.-TWO years ago my husband had the pneumonia which left him in sad condition, unable to work for several months. The doctor said he would have to be very careful or it would turn into consumption.
 We have large family and he must work sick or well. Hearing that Grape Nuts was the strongest nourishing food we could find he began on the food with one egg, which would be all he would eat for breakfast.
 He left home at four-thirty every morning seven days in the week, and after two years continued use of the food he is we'll man. Even the cough has left him that troubled him so long after his sickness.
 Our youngest child, boy of four and a half, was a very delicate baby. As soon as he could eat anything we start ed him on Grape-Nuts and he has grown to be large child, taking suit for a boy six years old. He is a very bright, strong, intelligent boy" Name given by Postum Co.,. Battle Creek, Mich.

STRIKE AT AN END.

Statement Made Last Night That Roll. ing Mill Men Will Return to Work. It was stated on good authority last night that the strikers of the New Ha- ven Iron and Steel works would go back
 to work beginning with the midnight shift Sunday. The men, it is under stood, are tired of holding out against
 the bosses and the statement made last
 night to the effect that the men would go back was by one who knows the ex- isting conditions in the case. The strike has been on since June Is when one of the union men was dis charged for refusing to take the place of a union man who was formerly dis
 charged for asking raise in pay.
 meeting was held soon after the men
 went out, and their determination to hold out was strong. Some of the men
 have left town for other jobs, but the great majority have been in New Ha- ven ever since the strike went into ef- feet.
 Aside from the three hundred men who struck, one hundred and fifty more were affected by the action of the union men, and a great deal of money has
 been lost in wages, as the strike was
 not authorized by the National Iron and Steel Workers union. If strike is au-
 thorized by a national union the strik- CTS are reimbursed, in part. for the
 time they have lost. but as the rolling mill strike was at the instigation of the local union of the Iron and Steel Work CTS the strikers have nothing coming to them.

The list of entries which were published yesterday morning have been the talk of the town for the last twenty-four hours, and as one of our local admirers of the ''rac- ing game" expressed it, how do you expect a fellow to pick the winner, when there are so many good ones"
 entered? and it's about so, the race should be an even one, and mighty ex- citing while it lasts. By the way, all events are going to be run in mile heats, best three in five, and the first race will be called at 2:15 p. m. The Branford Park special" will leave
