Somebody has said that there are
more young men in the penitentiary
in this country learning trades than
there are outside of them. The
principal cause of this is, we are
educating our young men for gentle
men; trying to make lawyers, doc
tors, and clerks out of the material
nature intended for blacksmiths,
carpenters and other hewers of wood
and drawers of water. 1t is mistake
and a big one to teach boys and
girls by insinuation or otherwise
that to labor is disgraceful, or if la
Dor is necessary for livelihood to
follow a genteel occupation, and
that to do nothing for a living is
more becoming the society in which
they expect to move and have re-
spect.

Henry Ford, one of the worlds
greatest manufacturers, also shines
as humanitarian and philanthro-
pist. He pays $4,000 men from five
to six dollars a day-the work day
consisting of eight hours and in
addition shares liberal portion of
the profits of his vast business with
them. He also carries out Bobby
Burns idea of "a heart for every
fate" by giving employment to a
large number of poor unfortunate
cripples and former prison convicts,
He is one of the noblest characters

have sympathetic influence on all

ORIGINAL HAROLD SKIMP0LE'
Newly Discovered Letter on an Old
Literary Enigma Sheds Some
Light.

Was Harold Skimpole, in BLEAK
House." a caricature OF Leigh Hunt :?
The old literary enigma will receive
attention again by the discovery of a
hitherto unpublished letter to Charles
Dickens by &C. X. S." which is repro
duced in his literary columns in the
Sphere.
This new letter is probably an an
swer to the last appeal of Leigh Hunt
made to the novelist to give assurance
In public manner that the wretched
creature Skimpole was not a portrait
of himself. Jealous Dickensians have
done their utmost to clear the novel.
lists name in respect of this charge OF
cruelty caricaturing a noble man, but
they receive little IL any support from
Dickens own words.
And the new letter is only one more
evasion. my dear Leigh Hunt" he
writes from Gad's Hill. in June. 1859,
believe me, have not forgotten that
matter; nor will forget it. To alter
the book itself would be to revive a
forgotten absurdity, and to establish
the very association that is TO be de-
MED snd discarded. :" hut, as &C.
X. s." points out in his commentary
on this literary find, there is ample
evidence that Dickens was sorry for
the portrait and vowed never to do
so any more"

Faded Sentiment.

That beautiful sentiment eventually
dies a sad death would seem to be
demonstrated by a story told the
other night by a southern congress-
man.
Smith, who lives in the suburbs, was
about to hustle for the Communication
train some time since, when his wife
followed him to the door as usual to
make sure that his shoes were tied
and that he hadn't forgotten his neck
tie.
Say, john" refectively remarked
the good woman as they reached the
veranda, do you know that this is the
fifteenth anniversary of our wedding?
why, so it is" returned John, do

ORDER HAD HIM "lE The AIR"
7oatswain's Mate Considerably Mud
died by Command That Was
Entirely New to Him.

In all the naval services tradition is
strong. AS Chief Boatswain McCar-
thy, U. S. ~, has shown in an article in
The Proceedings of the United States
Naval Institute" the adherence to Gus
tom extends TO the manner in which
the boatswuin's calls are varied for
different occasions, and even, In the
old navy, at least, it extended to the
way In which the officers gave their
orders.
The language used in passing words
was the vernacular of the sailor rather
than academic English, and the officer
who did not know that usually got poor
results from the boatswain's mate. who
had his own ideas about passing the
word, and got muddled in interpreting
any unusual order.
On one occasion, the officer OF the
morning watch gave this order:
"Boatswain's mate, scrub down with
rapidly" This was a new one, and
after causing the officer to repeat the
order three times, the boatswain's
mate became desperate. He grabbed
deck bucket, and forced it into the
hand of the nearest apprentice, whom
he started on his way with push that
sent the youngster Keeling, and fol-
lowed him with this shout:
go to the captain of the hold and
ask him for bucketfi1l of it, ! never
heard OF anything to scrub deck with
but sand and lime, and | don't know
anything about these new 'soogy'
moodgies,' anyway. "-Youth's Com.
