ment of different periodicals, and
from furniture and art catalogues.
The time devoted to this work
need not interfere with the other
studies.
A half hour given to class and
individual instructions once or
twice a week will usually keep
the pupils supplied with models.
A fter receiving Instructions the
pupil may carry the model home
and bring back the work finished.
The boys mentioned above are
frequently found hy the teacher
in the mornings waiting to get in
the manual training room, where
they work half an hour or three
quarters before school. Some
times, especially on rainy days,
they spend the recess period at
work. frequently a pupil asks to
be allowed to work during school
hours, and is usually allowed to do
so, when it does not interfere
with his other studies. When
this happens, as it sometimes
does, the privilege is withdrawn
for awhile. By keeping the chill
dren interested a vast deal of
work may be accomplished with
the expenditure of very few of
the school hours. Locally, l
wish to say that when properly
taught manual training is import
ant to the best results in the aca-
demic studies. 1t emphasizes and
makes clear problems in Arlth-
metic and furnishes vivid subjects
for narration, exposition and de-
scription.
The necessary study of the ma
ture and source, the material en-
ployed. is concrete nature study.
Manual training may be used to
organize the course of study
around the spontaneous activities
| of childhood, and utilize these ac-
ltivities for social and industrial
purposes.

ALCOHOL IN SOFT DRINKS.
Government Analyses Give British Tee
tOtalerS n Sad Jar,

Special Cable DeJpdfch 10 THE Sun.
LONDON. March is.-Teetotalers have
been roughly shocked by the publication
Of the Government analyses Of so-called
temperance drinks, which show an astonish-
ing percentage Of alcohol in certain favorite
teetotal beverages, The liquor laws make
drinks containing more than 2 per cent.
Of alcohol taxable as intoxioants, but Of
4,I47 samples OF temperance drinks tested
in the last four years no fewer than S,O9S
exceeded the limit.
In a majority Of cases the excess was
slight, but in several Of the samples "a
much as per cent. Of alcohol was found.
while in a few and 10 per cent. was re-
vealed. One sample Of mysterious de-
coction called dandeion stout contained
1913 per cent.
The chief offending drinks we're ginger
beer and herb beer. Many samples Of these
we're found to be as intoxicating as claret
or hook, while others contained as much
alcohol as beer. The temperance advocates
we're startled to learn that child drinking
pint Of some Of the teetotal beverages con-
sumes more alcohol than is contained in half
a pint Of champagne. 1t is admitted that
the high percentage is accidental, and that
1t il due to fermentation in bottling.

TORT Az Prince, Hayti March IS
The situation appears to be clearing
rapidly. There was no excitement in the
city to-day and the feeling Of apprehension
which existed among the foreign residents
has given way TO a sense Of security because
Of the presence Of foreign warships in the
harbor.
The French cruiser DEstrees has made
plans to take to st. Thomas all the revolu-
tionists who sought refuge in the German,
Spanish and French Consuates at Saint
Marc, Port au Paix and Gonaives. This
action was taken through the consent Of
the Government TO allow the revolutionists
10 leave the country without further moles-
tation.
President Alexis has decided that II the
evidence warrants il the six army officers,
among whom is Major Larque commander
Of the cavalry corps, now under arrest in
connection with the recent insurrection,
shall be tried before military court.

WASHINGTON. March ls,-One Of the OBJ
staoles quoted as existing against the ru-
mored engagement Of Miss Katherine Elkins
and the Duke Of the Abruzzi is the here
tofore unlocked for opposition Of Senator
Stephen B.Elkins the young lady's father.
Senator Elkins is said not to be at all inn
pressed with the wedding records Of
American girls and titled foreigners. Even
the distinction Of having royal duke
in the family Is said by friends Of the SEN
ator to have no weight with him.
Nor does Mrs. Elkins, it Is reported view
the suit Of the Duke with any greater favor
than her husband, and it is stated in social
circles that none Of the family likes the
prospect Of a match. Thus the Prince is
placed in the position Of an ardent suitor
with odds against him and the presumption
Is that he is here to win by storm or siege,
An authority on such matters said to-day
that should the Duke marry 'commoner'
he would have to obtain the consent Of the
Eing and then the only way he could retain
his prerogatives as a member Of the royal
family was by a special act Of Parliament
a proceeding which would require at least
ak months.
