WHY THE GERMANS LEAD.

ings In Berlin He might have seen similar
posters In every city and town In Germany.
Twice year these Official posters summon the
youth Of the land to obligatory attendance at the
trade and commercial schools Hubert Evans
writes In Harpers Weekly. Indirectly, they tell
why the American or the English manufacturer
finds In the German such dangerous competitor.
They reveal the secret Of Germany's wonderful
commercial and Industrial prosperity and Of her
commanding position as world power To the
phlosophically inclined they suggest interesting
reflections on the transformation OF ideallsts and
dreamers into a nation Of materiasts and doers.
There IL scarcely anything In all Germany so
new and modern as the continuation schools.
This whole movement has been a matter OF only
a few years and In Its present form the contnua.
ton school Is q child Of yesterday. These insti.
tutions receive from the nation more care and
sollctude than Is bestowed upon the children OF
the imperial family. They are still In a rapid
process OF change and development Their very
success has encouraged further changes and
more stringent legislation in their behalf II Is
only a few years ago that an imperial Industrial
law was passed giving community authority to
establish and maintain obligatory continuation
schools for youths thus making good the failure
OF certain German state governments to provide
for such school by state law One Of tho last
acts Of the reichstag last December was to amend
this law so as to make It apply to all girls en-.

The Frogs and the Bulls.

A frog one day sitting at the edge
OF pond, saw two bulls fighting In .
meadow. He cried to his companion:
Look at that dreadful fight! What
will become of us?"
DO not frighten yourself" replied
the other. How can their quarrels
affect US? They are quite different
from us in every way"
Perhaps" said the first frog, their
life is different from ours; but. as one
OF them will certainly get the better
OF the other, he who is beaten will
take refuge here in the marshes and
perhaps tread upon some Of US. You
see. therefore, we are more concerned
IN their quarrel than you think"
When the rich quarrel the poor are
usually the greatest sufferers.

THE DoLLowITSCH FAMILY.

think she might have brought a bed
with this one"
"She has q most unceremonious way
of thrusting a family upon us, hasn't
she?' he said.
Everything went we'll for a week and
then one day their little mother
brought the third baby to the doll
house, and Jack promptly tainted, but
Sybil only stared again.
I'm going to bring you another bed"
said the little mother; you are getting
such large family" and of she ran.
Jack opened his eyes and looked
around. when will 1t end?" he asked
~ she keeps on at this rate we Will
have to move out of the house and
let the children have it."
She has gone to get another bed,"
said Sybil.
"Oh. goodness mel" said Jack. "she
probably intends to fill it thea"
But their little mother did not bring
any more babies. She put the three
babies in the new bed and told sybil
she thought three were all any mother
could well care for, put that the next
thing to be considered was a suitable
name for the family. II think now
that you have such a nice family that
J will call your husband John" she
told Sybil: "and the last name must be
one that your children will be proud Of"
She thought minute and then she
said. "Oh. I know: It shall be Dolo-
witsch. and you shall be Russian"
1T is pretty bad, isn't it?'' asked
Jack, after their little mother had gone.
We had no more to say about that
than we did about the children
Never mind" replied Sybil. 'it is a
very distinguished sounding name and
as for John. I shall never use that:
you will always be Jack to me-"
'If you are satisfied, l am" answered
her husband. Now that we know she
will not bring us any more babies we
can settle down and enjoy those we
have. Don't you think you could make
cake today II take the children out
for a walk?"
Sybil told him she could, and being
a very wise woman, she did not make a
cake too often, SO that the promise
of one always gained for her any favor
she might ask of her husband.
The Dollowitsch family lived for many
years in the doll house. and were al
ways happy, and In after years when
they were stored away in the attic
Sybil and Jack often talked of the
time when their little mother brought
him to the doll house and the first baby
she brought to live with them and how
surprised they were.
But II was the best way after all,
said Sybil, for we had longer life
with our family than II she had brought
them years apart"
