PRACTICAL HOUSEKEEPING.
BOSTON School Girls Are Maintain
ing a Model Flat.

From the Boston Post
An absorbing innovation for the edu-
cation of the schoolglrl-the study of
practical housekeeping--is at present UNI
dergoing a rigorous test in a model fiat
used as one of the departments OF the
High School of Practical Arts.
The trustees of this institution find suf-
ficient justification for this rather novel
experiment In the fundamental idea THAT
the chief aim Of a wo1nan's lie is mar
riage. and for the purpose of making
practical observations OF this principle
they have leased an apartment at 4
Louise Park, Roxbury, consisting of five
rooms. where a class of young women
Is now in training.
Such duties as sewing, cooking, wash
ing. ironing. and, in fact, whatever per-
tains to the vocation of a housewife, to-
gether with the most essential high school
studies, are being taught at this school.
Any hour during the day may be seen
little maidens with their hair done up in
caps and their dresses all covered with
long aprons doing all sorts of house.
work.
The students have all been taught to
keep their apartment Immediately clean,
as it is constantly inspected BY visitors
and sometimes by city officials.
1t was not long ago that Mayor, Hib-
bard and Mr.. StOrrow lunched with the
little heusekeepers and they enthusiast
tically stated that, the luncheon was
fau!tless.
There is one method taught the students
thoroughly, and that is the art OF max
ing "a dollar purchase as much as pos
sibie. This is taught when the teacher
and a class go shopping.
Not only are the students taught how

AN ANTI-oPIUM WAR.
Uncle Sam Fighting the Drug in
the Philippines.

the philippines.
From the Literary Digest.
While China's efforts to eradicate the
use Of opium are as yet Intellectual, and
Great Britain's efforts have not yet be-
gun, it is encouraging to read in The
Indian Witness (Calcutta) that in the
Philippines the opium trade is strictly
suppressed by the American authorities
The question has been made a moral
one and principle has triumphed over
profit. We quote as follows:
AN object of a nation renouncing a
large revenue on moral grounds has been
before the eastern world for more than
a year. The American government has
prohibited absolutely the traffic in opium
in the Philippine Islands, and made Its
use in any form crime. and the posses
sion of 1t by any person q crime. AT
the same time. the medical use is safe
guarded by stringent laws that do not al
low indulgence In the drug. This pro-
hibitiOn Of opium has now been in force
long enough to make 1t interesting to
our readers to know some OF the results.
the law is enforced, that prohibition is
absolute and that American officials In
the Philippine Islands have succeeded IN
largely stamping out the habit. and they
are determined to prevent opium enter
ing the islands by smuggling. A sufficient
warming was given. before the law went
into effect, to enable merchants who had
stock of opium to dispose of it: free
opium-curing hospital was opened months
before the date fixed for the enforcement
OF the law for the victims who desired
to be cured. Those who imagined there
would be a lax enforcement of the law
and concealed supplies were rudely
awakened by severe fines and imprison-
meht, and, later on, BY Imprisonment
without the option of a fine.
Thus IL can be said without fea. OF
contradiction that the opium traffic in
the Philippine Islands has been suppressed

Capturing Wild Horses.
pete Barnum in McClure's.


Observation had taught me that wild
horses seldom try to jump anything they
cannot see through or over. So I figured
that il corral could be devised that
should have some strength. with walls
that the horses could not see through
or over. and that had little weight, the
problem would be solved. The corral
would have to appear to the horses to be
a great deal stronger than it really was,
so that they would not try to break it
down. and it would have to be so light
that it could be packed in sections upon
the backs of pack animals and moved
quickly to this or that pass and erected
before the wild horses observed us or
suspected danger. I decided to try can
vas obtained two pieces. each long
enough and wide enough to make a cir
cular corral fifty feet in diameter and
seven feet in height. In weight the can
vas was nearly as heavy as betting. The
experiment worked well-the canvas cor
