TRADE SCHOOLS OF THE PAST.

Those early New Englanders were in
trade schools from the time they be-
gan to crawl on the floor among their
mothers looms and spinning wheels,
writes William Hard in the August Ev-
erybody's Magazine. There was hardly
q home in early New England that
didn't give a large number of techni-
cal courses in which men and women
were always teaching by doing, and the
boys and girls were always learning
by initiating. The facts about this are
SO simple and so familiar that we don't
stop to think of their meaning. When
in the spring the wood-ashes from the
winter fires were poured into the iye-
barrel, and water was poured in with
them, and the I've began to trickle out
from the bottom of the barrel, and the
winters savings of grease were brought
out, and the grease and the I've were
boiled together in the big kettle, and
mother had finished making the fam
ily's supply of soap for another year,
the children had taken not only lit
tie lesson in industriousness, by helping
to make the soap, but a little lesson in
industry, too, by observing the tech
nique and organization of the soap
business lTODl SIdIl " llIllSu. "A Ivy
from that family, even If he never
learned to read or write, might some
day have some ideas about soap.
Spinning was a very small part of
the department of textiles. In the sub
department of fax, after heckling that
fax with combs of increasing degrees
of fineness, after spinning it into yarn,
after Keeling the yarn off into skeins,
after "bucking'' the skeins in hot I've,
end after using shuttle and loom to
weave the stuff into cloth. the home
woman of those days had to accom-
rlish some 20 subsequent processes OF
hucking, rinsing, posing. drying, and
bleaching before the cloth was ready
for use. In the department of wool,
in addition to being carders, spinners,
and weavers, women were dyers hand
ling all the color resources Of the times
We pass over as trivial, the making
of flax and wood stuffs into articles of
actual use. We say nothing about the
transformation of cloth into clothes,
table-covers, napkins; nothing about the
weaving of yarn on little lap looms into
the narrow fabrics for hair-laces, glove
ties, belts, carriers, and hat-bands;
nothing about the incessant knitting of
yarn into .nitteI.s and stockings; moth
ing about host of other details. They
were for idle moments. Sweet domestic
days, when girls stayed at home and
helped their mothers and let father
support the family 1t seems as if even

Hoaxing a Nation.

A short time ago the military chiefs
out here were the victims of a prac-
teal joke; but there was means in
India of keeping such little incidents
profound secret, so at present no
body knows what has happened out
side a very small ring.
The story goes that about a month
ago the daughter of well known
lieutenant governor, about 20 years of
age, accompanied by two girl friends,
was on visit to friends on the north
west frontier, and one day went to Ali
Maid, fort near the mouth of the
Khalben Pass.
From there the three ladies sent a
telegram to General Wodehouse, as
if it were from, responsible officer,
declaring that they had gone out into
the tribal country and had not re-
turned. Great anxiety had been felt,
found it very difficult to restrain the
garrison from turning out en- masse
to rescue the girls from their peril.
The news. of course, was sent on at
once from the generals headquarters
to Calcutta, where it created the in
tensest excitement in the highest
quarters. The father of the enterpris-
ing damsel and the commander-in-
chief spent several hours in delibera-
ton and in Fastening from Fort Will
liam to Government House and. from
Government House back to Fort Will
liam.
If the girls did not return, a force
would have to be sent out after them
and if a force were sent into the tri-
bal country, however innocent the in
tention, it might set half a dozen
suspicious tribes in arms, and an en-
gagement might lead to a big from
tier campaign, which in turn might
cause a rupture with a well now armed
Afghanistan. The anxiety, therefore
was fully justified by the apparen,
gravity of the Situation
It is said it was not until twelve
hours after the fateful message had
reached Calcutta that it was discov-
cred that the military organization of
an empire had been shockingly hoaxed.
