FRAMING THE HAND.

Manual training in the public
schools has made considerable pro-
gress in this country in the past few
years, but It must be regarded as
still in its infancy when compared
with the work that is being done in
Germany.
The report on the organization ana
curricula Of the Compulsory Trade
and Continuation Schools for Boys
in Munich has just been received In
this country. In characteristic Ger
man style every detail Of compli-
Gated and thoroughgoing organiza-
ton Of the public school system Of
Munich to provide adequate training
lin SO different trades and occupa-
tons has been set forth. From the
mechanical trades requiring the
longest apprenticeship and the great
est basis OF scientific knowledge down
to such occupations as hair dressing
and waiting on table, provision is
made for the compulsory attendance
of every boy in Munich. There is
hardly a trade that can be named
which is susceptible ofadaptation to
purposes OF instruction that has not
been provided for. Such thorough
going provision for Industrial educa-
ton is considered responsible for the
marvellous commercial expansion Of
Germany during the last 20 years.

 There is some doubt now of Rev. Barrett accepting the Philadelphia nulpit as the women of the Asbury church have started out on a cam oaign of fund raising to keep hin here for several months at least.
 Rev. Barrett has been the leader in the temperance fight in Little Rock making use of the three mile peti- tion in an attempt to rid the city oi liouor. He has been very jealous in this work and it is stated that some of the members of the Methodist church in Little Rock petitioned to have him removed, reporting to the bishop that they did not approve o1 some of the methods employed in the fight.
 Rev. Barrett is said to want to re- main and fight out the liquor battle and because the bishop has declined to listen to the pleadings in his be- half several members of the Board of stewards of the Asbury church have resigned.

WEXFORD, II. l., Nov. 29.-Lobsters
at seven cents n pair, bred under artl-
fetal conditions, are probability fol-
lowing experiments by group ofscien-
fists, backed by the government, at the
lobster hatchery here. For the first
time in history the lobster is being
hatched and raised under artificial
conditions. Professor II. ID. Mead, OF
the Wexford station, said today:
Including the coast OF the breeding
plaut, with allowances for all necessary
running expenses, we are now able to
produce Holsters at an expense OF less
than SO n thousand, or 31-S cents each.
Hitherto it has not been believed pos
lille to raise in captivity Holsters from
the egg to the adult stage.
Essentially the method consists OF
combining the laryal lobster in cans,
either OF porous material or provided
with screen windows setinto the ocean
ITSELF and by mechanical means main
taiuing a continuous gentle current OF
water having rotary and upward
movement.

revise one or more schedules OF the

that no changes whatever will be made
in the Payne law by the present Con
