MANUAL TRAINING IN
GREENLEAF SCHOOL

work 10 do at home along the same lines.
II can be readily seen that most of the
work on exhibit has been done at home,
as the club has only had sixteen meet
iDgs. The most valuable part Of the clun
after the good il does toward bringing
the children socially together and teach
ing them. is that the embroidery and
Uursted work IS taught by two of the
parents who have children in the club.
And they are not paid one penny for
their services The wood burning is
taught by Miss Shipman.
Class for Parents.
4 branch OF the manual club is a
class in worsted and embroidery for the
parcnts-any parents who wish 20 come
and much of their work is to be seen

each week the parents attending when
ever home duties permit.

Earning Money While at School.
All this manual work has the very
vital and valuable point of being a
means TO an end toward teaching the
children something that will enable
them to earn some little money while
still at school. and no boy or girl should
90 as high as the eighth grade without
earning something. After little prac-

No. 102 on the opposite side. No. 2 is
probably a mile down the street. The
city of Toxic is made up of 1880
streets, in which are 318,320 houses.
These houses are divided UP into fit
teen wards. If a street passes through
more than one ward the houses are
numbered according to the wards in
which they are; that. is, a street pass.

Light as a Healing Agent.

In view of the growing Importance
of the application of light as a heal
ing principle in medical science the
medical congress which recently con:
vened at Wiesbaden invited Prof. Bic
of Copenhagen to read a paper on the
subject. The lecturer explained the
principle of employing light for heal
ing purposes after excluding it's chem
ical effects. The results obtained by
this method in cases Of smallpox, ac-
cordirg to the lecturer, are such that
the question is raised whether the
light treatment shall not be made
compulsory. Prof. Bic approves the
apparatus Invented by DR.. Finsen OF
Copenhagen, VITA which the latter has
achieved such remarkable success in
cases of lupus, but urges that no one
but qualified doctors should be allowed
to apply the light treatment, as dis
turbances are apt to which rem

American Hammers Excel.

OF the hammers made in America to-
day there is no end, says The Amer1-
can Importer. There is the tiny lit
tie tack hammer which weighs only
a few ounces, and is indispensable in
house, store, or factory. Then there
is the twenty and thirty ton hammer
driven by steam land used for making
immense forgin8s. The numberiess
effects which are due to its remark
able force of impact have made the
hammer a necessity in all trades. I'M
mense manufactures, employing thou
sands of men, are grinding year in and
year out making1 hammers, while ten
times as many wholesale houses are
busy putting the product on the mar
ket. The industry has advanced to
such a stage that many general hard
ware firms in the United States have
thrown out the hammer, leaving it to
the houses that deal in tools ezclu'
sively: In the South Sea Islands tree
telling contests are of such Importance
that specially made axes are imported
for the work from America. So skilled
are these woodmen Of the South Seas
in telling timber that a dozen blows OF
the trunk of a tree will show but the
one cash, as though done by a single
blow of mighty power.

DarWin's Unused Comm.

Secondhand collins, as stated by an
undertaken in the Lambeth County
Court, would generally be of little
value, but in some cases they may
be of interest and profit. At 2 public
house near Bromley, in Kent, one
forms an attraction, and has a curious
history. In it the body of Charles
Darwin is said to have been placed
for two days before his burial in. West
minister Abbey was decided upon,
when a new shell was provided. The
coffin was made by the village car
penter, who frequently made cases and
boxes for Darwin's collections. One
day the carpenter complained of
s!achnesA and asked Darwin for a
job. He al told that he could make
a coffin; the order was carried out,
a name-plate being affixed after Oar
wins death. The coffin again passed
into the carpenters possession, and on
his death was purchased by the publ
can.-London Chronicle.
