are not an effeminate race. as might
be supposed. Their ancestors were
great fighters who conquered the terri
tory where they now live and held 1t
against all corners. Sir Chettur San

was himself born Of Nair family. He
contended that the vesting OF family
property rights in the women was a
good thing for both sexes. Not being
dependent on men for support, the wo-
men were not driven, as often under
the European system, to maintain
themselves by undesirable means. Sir
Chettur expressed considerable regret
that the pressure OF western ideas
has lately begun to break down the
Nair system, although there are fami-
lies that still adhere to it strictly.

depends on a mans own efforts and
his tenacity of purpose. Let him fol-

bond, was denied in supreme court
in case from Woodbury. county.
John p. Looney had secured a judg-

because the latter shot the plaintiff,
but he found that Carr was not good
for the judgment of $4,000. He sued
Sioux City for $4,000, claiming that
bonds were required of all policemen
and that the custom was to require
1000 bonds.
The supreme court took the view
that requiring the bond was, a gov
ernmental function and the ordinan-
ces did not provide for the size of
the bond at all, and anyway the rela-
ton between the city as a corpora
ton and the bullet wound was too re-
mote.

The Passing of the Trades.

The Passing OF the Trades.
Burlington Hawk-Eye: There is
much wailing because there is not
much left of the old trades, and
there is less opportunity for boys
learning trades than there were in
the good old times" In those
good old times, there was practical
Iy no change, and until the inven-
ton of the steam engine and other
labor-saving machinery, work had
been done by hand in practically
the same manner for hundreds, per-
haps thousands of years. There
were slight differences in the man
ner of doing things in different
countries, and after the boy had
served his apprenticeship, he was
expected to travel a few years, and
perfect himself in his trade by OBJ
serving how the work was done in
other countries. Then he could go
home and establish himself in bust
ness, if he chose to, or work for
some master, if that suited him bet
ter. All small details were definite
ly settled, and the man who had
learned his trade was supposed to
have really mastered it.
There are very few trades left.
Nobody learns a trade now, who en-
tiers big factory. He becomes a
machine tender and perhaps an ex-
pert in the work at that machine,
but he does not, for instance, ever
learn to make pair of shoes. Out
of the small towns there are still
opportunities to learn some of the
old trades, and the lad who has that
knowledge and takes it with him
into the big cities is apt to find that
his time has not been wasted. For
the division and infinite sub-divi-
sion of labor, while it has it's un-
doubted advantages, also has its
disadvantages, and these are be-
coming apparent. Yet the younger
man, who has learned some small
part of trade, or the older man,
who mastered a trade in the old
fashion, has marvellous adaptable
ity. and they soon master entirely
new trades that had never before
been practiced. There is the vide
range of electrical machinery and
its operation, there is the atoumo-
the movies We are always
wont to consider the millions who
patronize this new and immensely
popular form of amusement, but do
not consider the army people who
are employed producing films, and
operating the machines etc. And
yet but very few years ago the
moving picture was unknown.
Upon the whole, there seems no
need of despairing because the old
trades and the old thoroughly
equipped, expert all-around crafts
man is rapidly becoming unknown.
Perhaps the manual training
schools, and the technical institu-
tions will supply at least a part of
the theoretical knowledge that he
possessed, plus very much scientific
lore, of which he may have had |
scarcely an inkling. What will new
er be replaced, that is the habits of
neatness and OF application which |
were usually hammered into the lad |
