of the special subjects taught are recog- nized trades which are subject to fixed laws. Since then Berlin has branched out into the teaching of all sorts ot loose and unorganized occupations. Tho municipality has just opened a college for saleswomen in stores; and here fof most classes of girls employed in or apprenticed to Berlin stores. attendance is compulsory. Already there are 1500 students. These are taught how to at tend on customers; how to keep goods in order; how to dress windows the technical characteristics of products, and even the insidious art of blarneying the public into buying what it does not want. In other German towns are nine such saleswomens s colleges. The Berlin school with its 49 classes is the biggest.
 Provincial German towns are starting colleges of preparation for other neg 1ected occupations. Dusseldorf will open an academy for the hotel sciences. which will rivet still more firmly on Europe's neck the yoke of the German hotel man- ager and hotel waiter. From other towns come plans to start municipal schools of journalism All these plans illustrate the trend towards specialization in every branch of life which is so marked in Germany.
 Both these movements. the university reform movement, and the movement for teaching the occupations as we'll as the technical trades, are strongly opposed by powerful interests. The old universities complain that the municipalities ignore the very nature of university education. which Is universality; and they predict that the new municipal universities will only be exaggerated special high schools, useless for general culture Against high school teaching for the nontechnical oc- equations there is great opposition. Tho ob1ectors declare that the new schools pursue the false principle of reducing 10 rule and precept things which are outside the domain of teachable science The municipalties ignore these objections and are going ahead with their plana

When their course of education is fin ished they know more about the science and practice of municipal ad- ministration than do many senior off, cials.
 Many of the more active reformers are not content with this specialization of higher education. They declare that the programme of the special and tech nical high schools are Germany's great est educational achievement. In num- Der of students tremendous progress has bon made. In 1882 the empires II technical high schools had 2S00 stu- dents. Today, including auditors and guest auditors" both of whom have only partial student qualifications, there are nearly 1S,000.

 The girls have white straw hats with tiny black bands around the crown and bows on one side. The bands seem to be pasted on to the hat, and sometimes they are merely streaks of black paint. As the Cholito struts along the street on her high heels she rests her hat rakishly on one side of her head and walks with swing. Sometimes she firts her skirts a little to show her green or blue colored stockings; and often you notice that she has no stockings at all and that what you thought was knitted hose of rose col ored silk is the bare. rosy, pink of the leg.
 The Cholo women are very proud of their admixture of white blood. They think themselves above their Indian sisters, and look down upon the woman who wears blanket and sandals. They are brighter than the Indians. Many of them are traders who buy and sell in the markets, and they do much of the retail business of the Bolivian capital, having small stores and saloons Not a few are the sole support of their families, including, perhaps, those of their husbands, who strut the streets of the Bolivian capital, having allow ances of pin money from the trade carried on by their wives
 But let us go on with our walk through the markets. We pass scores of Indian women wearing striped blankets of red, yellow, blue and green. There are also natives in black mantos, with black crepe shawls wound tight ly around their ive-skinned faces. They have stopped on their way home

John P. Hise of Hightown, Va
was in town during court exhibit
ing and selling the Hise Wagon
Brake. This brake is proving u
self to be great advantage TO
wagon owners, on account of the
great convenience and safety it af-
fords. The change of the wagon
bed does not interfere with locking
of the brake nor does load OF hay.
The ratchet brade is attached to
the running gear of the wagon: 1t
is easy to apply to any ordinary
road wagon being fastend to rear
axel and bolster, and the lever may
be set to any angle.
Many Highland people are using
the brake and find it is highly
successful in every particular.
Mr.. Hise is to be congratu ated
on his invention, as it is something
the farmers have been needing for

Brothers and stolen from the safe
which was blown open on the night
of Sept. 18th when the postoffices
at Vanderpool were robbed.
The box had been placed under
a clump of willows, not far from
the river, and was discovered be-
cause the leaves had fallen away
and left it exp' sed.
Young Echard had the presence
of mind and prudence to leave the
valuable find untouched until he
notified Mr.. Gum, who went with
him to recover it.
AS stated at the time of the rob-
berry, the box contained all of Mr..
Gums valuable papers securities
worth five or six thousand dollars
and the bonds of the mercantile
firm of Swadley Bros, amount not
given. Mr.. Gum had offered a re-
ward of $50 for the papers, but
had gotten no reply or informa-
ton.
1t is unfortunate that no def
mite clue is disclosed with the find
ing of the tin box, but Mr.. Gum is
congratulated on his good luck.

HARRIS ARRESTED AGAIN

It is rather a coincident that the
arrest of Frank Harris the second
time, on suspicion of completely in
the Vanderpool postofice robbery,
should have taken place within a
few hours of the finding of the tin
box and valuable papers taken
from the safe that night, and for
which Mr.. Lee Gum had offered a
reward of $50.
On Tuesday morning Deputy U.
S. Marshall, w. NJ. Utz, accom-
panied by Gordon Shuey, Clyde
Hiner and another Staunton man,
motored to Jackson's River and
took in charge Frank Harris, the
young man who was arrested some
two weeks ago by Sheriff Graham
and later released.
1t is not known that any new
evidence has been obtained, but
that the government has suspected
that Harris knew something of the
robbery has been no secret.
