INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION.

INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION.
It is becoming more and more
apparent that industrial e1uca-
ton must lie given greater con
sideration in our educational pro-
cess than has yet been accorded
to it. Primarily we educated to
qualify for the so-called learned
professions. We recognized that
the stability of popular govern
rnent der ends on TIE intelligence
of the people and created our
American system Of public
schools. The necessity for tech
nical education has been provided
for by arranging such special in
struction in many colleges, and
by establishing polytechnical
schools. All these fall far short
of the industrial education of the
people, and which must ultimate
ly become distinctive feature of
popular education.
Our industrial development,
the multiplicity of mechanical
pursuits and the beuehcient in
fueuces which always attend
such pursuits make it both nee.
essary and desirable that greater
numbers of Our youth are quail
fed to engage in some of them.
We must teach trades to great
er number OF our boys than we
are doing. Just here is the diff
Guilty. We might easily find
twenty boys here in Corvallis
willing to become carpenters, for
instance. Their parents know,
their friends know, they them
selves believe that their future
usefulness, success and happiness
would be more certain if they be-
came skilled carpenters than if
they qualified for some of the
professions, as law or medicine.
Where in all Oregon might
this number OF aspiring mechan-
les from one locality find oppor-
tunity 10 obtain the requisite
training? If ten times their
number desired to become law
yers they would find abundant
educational facilities, but scarce
1y any available for becoming
carpenters. The Labor Unions
have decreed that only a certain
ratio of apprentices shall be in
strueted. Thus boys, for the
greater number, are virtually
forced into the over-crowded pro-
fessions, into the ranks of un =
skilled labor, or into a warped
airnless, possibly a vicious life.
Would it not be of far greater
individual benefit, would not the
commonwealth be better served,
if the three or four years now de-
voted by our public high schools
to imparting a .sinattering of Cae-
sar and Virgil, and Euclid, were
given to practical carpentry,
plastering, painting or black
smithing? These are some of
the questions now engaging the
attention of many thoughtful
men.
Our Agricultural College gives
us a practical demonstration of
what may be accomplished on
other lines of industry. The
young man who selects agricul-
ture as his avocation is given
training directly related to that
pursuit, and which will bear him
far on the road to success. His
brother, whose tastes and incli-
nations are for cabinet. making
or brick-layiug, finds no such
provision for his instruction and
may consider himself most fortu-
nate if he secures an opportunity
at all of gaining any practical
knowledge of his chosen art.
OF lawyers, doctors, preachers
we have ample supply. We need
more skilled mechanics and
should rather provide technical
education to supply the need.

 T try to be-" was the rather modest rejoinder of the young man.
 "Ah," she suggested, what we need now is more poets like good old Omar, the tent-maker.''
 Very true" asserted the young man, 'sbut the circuses have been consolidated to such an extent that no more than one poet could make a living by providing them with tents.' Truly the path of literature is rocky road today.

NATIONALITY IN FEET.
PecuIiarities of the Pedal Extrenai. ties of Some Races of the
 Old World.

National characteristics are many and varied and scientists are always discovering new things in which we differ from our neighbors on the con- tinent. The latest of these is feet, says London Answers.
 The French foot is narrow and long. The Spanish foot is small and elegant 1y curved-thanks to it's Moorish blood corresponding to the Castilian's pride of being "high in the instep." The Arabs foot is proverbial for it's high arch. The Koran says that a stream of water can run under the true Arabs foot without touching it. The foot of the Scotch is high and thick; that of the Irish, flat and square; the English, short and feshy.
 When Athens was in her zenith, the Grecian foot was the most perfectly formed and exactly proportioned of that of any of the human race. Swedes, Norwegians, and Germans have the largest feet, Americans the smallest. Russian toes are ''webbed" to the first joint. Tartarian toes are all the same length.

NAMES AMONG NEGROES.
How So Many odd and Classical Ap-
 peNations Game to Be Borne | by Them.

I There is a good reason for the cu- rious proper names even now in use amongst negroes, says an article on the American negro, in Leslie's Month ly. Their native African names were scarcely ever used, owing to both diff hculty in pronunciation as well as inability on the part of the blacks to give them when demanded. The hundreds it was necessary to name on the arrival of a cargo caused the days 'of the week, months, numbers, ani- mals, gods and goddesses, heroes, demi-gods, Biblical characters, Shakes pearean names and the shorter Eng
 fish and French Christian names of the day to be used over and over again. In every district were dozens of sable workers answering to such names as Tuesday, Friday, July, November, Pri- mus Gin use to this day), Sixteen (rare even then). Doe, Hart, Rabbit, Fox tin use now), Jupiter, Pallas, Hector, Ve- nus, Diana (now "Di''), Perseus, Her. cules, Aaron, Moses, Pharoh, Romulus, Remus, Hamlet, Othello, Caesar Ca favorite), Jonas Rose, Priscilla, John, Jack, Lize, Beth and others. Varia- tions were had by prefxing Young" or "Old" to the name given. The American negroes acquired their sur names rather summarily immediately after the emancipation

One of he associates at Vassar, in recalling some of her anecdotes, relates Youths Companion, writes: Prof. Mitchell was quite likely to stand and deliver herself of bright little speech before taking her seat at breakfast. It was as though the short walk from the observatory had been an inspiration to thought" In the biography of Miss Mitchell, by Mrs. Phebe Mitchell Kendall, this in- stance is given:
 On one occasion Charlotte Cush- man and her friend, Miss Stebbins, were visiting Miss Mitchell at Vas sar. Miss Mitchell took them out for a drive, and pointed out the different objects of interest as they drove along the banks of the Hudson.
 .sWhat is that fine building on the hill?'' asked Miss Cushman.

TITLE WAS SOON PROVEN.
Uncle Sam Buys Back Land from Man to Whom It Was Sold by Gov.
 ernmenf in 1S4O.

"You may go back home and pre- pare the papers for the transfer of your land to the government, making sure you have the deed set forth every transfer of the property, and. when this is completed you can ob- tain the $7,500 which as been accept ed as the government price for your site for 8 postofice."
 Well, if that's all you want, I can fix that up real quick. Just say that the property is transferred to the United States from John McCusick to whom the land was deeded by the United States in the year 1s40."
 This is the conversation which took place in the treasury depart ment Of the United States Saturday between Supervising Architect Fay. lor and John McCusick, of Saltwater, Minn., at the consummation of the bargain in which the government se- cures she title to postofice site in Saltwater.
 McCusick bought the land from the government at SIPS per acre in 1s4o. He has held it ever since, and now he is selling 135x15o feet of it back to the government for the sum of ST. 500.

BAR BIG BANANAS.
The Large Fruit Is Nearly Always Sc. 1ected by Purchasers, BRt It
 Is the Poorest.

It comes natural to everyone to get Gas much as he can for his money" but in endeavoring to do so he is often led astray. The biggest is not always the best, and this applies even to such a common thing as the fruit sold in shops and streets, says London An swers.
 A London dealer who has handled tons of fruit said recently: Tt is often amusing to see men; women and children picking out, as they believe, the choicest fruit at the shops and off barrows. If there are half dozen big oranges within sight, they will have them, even if it is necessary to overturn all other varieties that are sold by the piece of dozen.
 'sThey invariably get the poorest specimens of the whole lot, and yet are not aware of it. It is only rarely you lind person who is good judge, and he will at once size up the heaviest oranges, lemons or bananas, regard less of size, and gets the choicest fruit"

WISE HINDoo STAR GAzER.
AsfroIogers Who Prophesied the I1I- ness and Recovery of KiaG
 Edward, of England.

Some remarkable horoscopes of the health of Edward VII, prepared by famous Hindoo astroiogers, were pulp hshed November 4 last in the Hindoo, a native newspaper. These horoscopes were recently reprinted in the same paper and have been hailed with inn mense relief by the kings loyal sub jects in India. These horoscopes are certainly most remarkable, when we remember they were published eight months ago, though we may smile at the cure suggested in the second:
 A Tanjore astro1oger predicted: sOur beloved emperor will be soon en- throned (Patta abhi-shekam) and will brilliantly reign over his kingdom for a period of not less than Is years to come. Some sickness would trouble him, but his majesty's life is secure for many years to come"
 A Dindigul astro1oger stated: "The position of the planets shows that be- tween June 21 and 28, 1902, the king emperor will suffer of boiIs like car buncles throughout the body and the conjunction also indicates danger As 8 panacea for this evil the emperor is recommended to make gifts of black bulls, as it would give considerable relief and sustenance to him."

TWO DEAD SHOTS.
Returned Soldiers from the Philip. pines Play Havoc with a Shoot
 ing Ga1lery's Targets.

A wiry-looking bronzed youth in a ahsuniform walked into Philadel- phia shooting gallery the other day and, picking up rife, began to make things hum, says the Philadelphia Press. There were four stationary bulls-eye targets, representing men and animals, at the rear of the gallery, and on these the marksman rapped out 8 series of clangs that resembled realistic rendition of the anvil chorus. Then he took fresh rife and beat a tattoo on pair of swinging targets. A row of several scores of clay pipes next received his attention, and the proprietor of the place spent bad five minutes figuring out the time and money it would require to replace the dhudeens that were snapped off Sew era1 glass targets in motion were pie for the youth behind the gun. The only thing breakable remaining was a glass ball supported by dancing wa ter jet. This the marksman failed to smash, though he spent half an hour and considerable ready money in an endeavor before leaving. Darn those fellows from the Philippinesi" ex- claimed the shooting gallery man. That's the second one to clean me out to-day. If it hadn't been for that glass ball on the water I'd have come out to the bad both times.e
