Manual Training.

Manual Training in the Public
Schools" is the title of a petition re-
Gently presented to the board of
school directors of Woodstock, and
published by the Arts and Crafts
club for distribution. 1t is an ex-
ceedingly well-written and convinc-
ing presentation of the advantages OF
this form of industrial education and
it's general circulation will bring the
subject before those directly inter-
ested in very convincing way.
The advantages Of manual training
are summed up thus:
Its value as mental discipline /;
it's influence in frightening the dura-
ton of school life; its help in con-
trolling the pupil in the school room
and it's aid in planning future
career"
The first step toward introducing
manual training into the schools OF
Vermont was taken here in Wood
stock, where it has been taught IN a
summer school inaugurated and
maintained by private enterprise.
Experience has shown, however, that
it is possible to interest but a few
pupils in arts and crafts club classes
and the conclusion is that if Wood
stock is to get the full benefit from
this sort of work, it must become a
regular part of the school curricu-
lum.

THE IDEAL POULTRY HOUSE.

The ideal poultry house is difficult to
describe. There seems to be nothing
about the poultry business in regard to
which there is a wider difference Of
opinion than on this point. 1t seems to
be the general opinion that the type
of house is not very important so long
as 1t is dry, Well ventilated, and the
fowls have plenty of the proper kind
of food. Food is the essential thing, and
of course certain foods are much bet
ter than others. A. Nj. Brown of North
Rochester, Mass, gives his opinion on
this particular point in the following let
ter. He says: 81 have fed nearly all
the poultry foods on the market, but
not with such returns as Pages Per-
fected Poultry Food gives. My hens
have an average of so percent to their
credit. Last winter It was so percent.
/ know this food is the best on the mar
ket."
If you want to know more about this
food and the best ways Of using 1t,
write to g. S. Page, Hyde Park, VT,
for his booklet, profitable Poultry"
1t will be sent free, postpaid, to anyone
mentioning this paper.

Canadian Inventors Device TO De
Tried on the Indiana.
By direction of the president brake
apparatus is to be installed on the bat
tleship Indiana. This ship brake, the
invention Of Pierre La COste, Cana
dian and relative Of Chief Justice La
Coste of Canada, has been in use on
Canadian revenue cutters and is said
to have been satisfactory. Its func-
ton is to bring a vessel to a quick
stop in case Of necessity or bring
about a sharp turn when the maneu-
yer is desired.
The brakes are virtually wings from
four to six feet wide ana twelve feet
deep, one on each side Of the vessel,
placed in the water beginning at the
water line. They fold forward, and
when not in use the side of the vessel
presents a smooth surface to the wa
ter. Control is obtained from the
bridge of the vessel by a pneumatic
arrangement which releases the brakes
and brings them back to their place
after the maneuver has been carried

THE MARATHON CRAZE
Several Challenges For Long
boat, DorandO's COnquerOT.
SPORTING MEN EXPECT MORE.

Con Connolly, Albert Corey, Jim Crow
Icy and Alfred Shrubb In Line
For Honors-How Longboat Entered
Sport Which Lansuishsd For Years.
New York and, in fact, the entire
United States have gone Marathon
mad.
Never In the history of American
athletics has sport which languished
for years because of lack of patronage
sprung so quickly into life again.
Hardly had the lanky Tom Longboat,
who until four years ago was hum
BILE resident on Canadian Indian res
ervation, defeated the game little
champion, Dorando Pietri, the other
night at Madison Square Garden, New
York, than challenges from points even
as distant as Los Angeles came in,
says the New York American. The
first offer was from managers in the
California city, who state they are
willing to pay $4,000 each to DorandO
and Johnny Hayes If they will run a
Marathon on the coast.
Con Connolly, the San Francisco
amateur who recently won the Mara
thon in that city, has wired challenge
to the Indian, the Italian and the
American and is willing to desert the
amateur ranks and turn professional,
as about $4,000, under present cOndi-
lions, can be made in night by run
ner of his ability.
Albert Corey, well known long dis
lance amateur runner of Chicago, fol-
lowed quickly with challenge to any
one willing to run the Marathon dis
lance against him.
Jim Crowley, the hodcarrier who
recently captured first place in the
Yonkers Marathon, is said to be willing
to desert amateur ranks and become
professional, divining that the long
distance running game has come into
it's own and is lucrative one.
Alfred Shrubb who holds every
worlds record from FIVE to fifteen
miles and is regarded as the greatest
long distance runner in the worlds
history, has been asked to engage in a
Marathon, and 1t Is intimated that he
will do so. Sporting men expect that
many more challenges will be received.
Interest in Tom Longboat naturally
was stimulated by his victory over
Dorando. Many had known that the
Indian for four years was regarded as
the greatest long distance runner on
the continent but few knew just how
he began his running career.
1t was about five years ago that
Longboat, who was poorer than Do
rando when the latter was humble
baker In Italy, went to Hamilton, Ont,
where q Marathon was to be run. The
long legged descendant of the sons OF
the forest opined that he might just as
we'll enter, even If only for fun. He
did so, and he sped over a twenty
mile course in the remarkable time of
2 hours "a minutes.
From that moment the young In
dian, who had been a ward Of the Ca
madam government, became an object
Of interest to all interested in sports.
He had found himself and kept in
the running game, Gaping his bril-
liant career with the vanquishing of
Dorando Pietri, who he regards as a
great runner and game one.

The Hrsvity of BaIlarat.

1t was in Ballarat that Mark Twain
found the local language so puzzling
at first, the good people of the place
deeming life too short to dawdle in
their talk.
The mayor called on the American
humorist and laconically said "K'm,"
Then when Mark Twain gave him a
cigar he simply said 60"
Subsequent inquiry revealed that
these terms were Ballaratese for "wel-
come" and "thank you."-London

UNIQUE EXPERIMENT.


Old Fashioned and Modern House,
keeping to Be Compared.
A house divided against itself is to
be made to serve the purposes of sci
ence at the University of Illinois. The
department Of household science at
that institution has rented a large
dwelling house near the campus and
divided 1t into two equal apartments.
One of these Is fitted up in every re-
spect according to the most improved
methods and theories Of household eco
pOmics. The other is furnished &C
cOFding to the good old ways Of our
grapdmothers. How far 1t is possible
for the person with limited means to
adopt the first instead Of the second
scheme Of housekeeping Is the prob
lem to be evolved by experiments to
last one year.
In one apartment only the most mod
ern furnishings have been installed.
Heating is done by gas and electricity.
The preparation of foods and laundry
work are accomplished by electricity.
The floors are vanished or waxed and
covered with rugs. In the other apart
ment hard and soft coal, wood and
coke are used to heat the rooms as well
as for cooking purposes. OIL lamps
are used to illuminate the place. The
water is drawn from pump, and car
pets are tackled to the soft pine floors.
Glasses in household science have
charge of each of the apartments I'M
der the supervision Of the professors.
A careful account Of the expenses, the
convenience and the time consumed in
the preparation of foods and the dis
charge Of all the other domestic du-
ties is to be kept.
