MANUAL TRAINiNO IN Fugue SUMO/A.
The Chietigo Herald congratulates the
School Board of that city upon the intro-
duction of Manual training into some of the
schools and regrets that the experiment is
not to be tried at once in all the schools,
because "if training of eye and hand be
worth anything in one school it is worth as
much in every school - if it be beneficial for
truants it is beneficial for children who are
not truants." Though the people of the
United States are foremost in inventive, con-
structive and mechanical industries, in the
finer departments of design and decoration
they are, accordingto the Herald, far
ni
behind the
nations in Europe that have
manual combined with literary instruction
in their popular schools ; and in the higher
grades of all the industries demanding
trained hands and knowledge of design they
were in the beginning, and to a considerable
degree still are, dependent on European
races for thinkers aud executants. Had
manual training been a regular part of the
common school nistritction of the country
the last fifty years the position of American
arts and crafts would be far more advanced
and native designers and skilled artisans
would have taken and handed down to their
children the high ancl piofitable places so
long held by foreigners.
In a number of the cities of the United
:States manual training has lieen successfully
• in operation for several s ears. From no
school that is so fortunate as to possess it is
• it ever dropped. Nochild that takes it up
willingly lays it down. The practicability
of carrying it on with the usual literary
instruction is no longer a question in any
city in which the experiment has ken tried.
Certain results are uniformly noted in these
schools. It is found that the discipline of
a school in which manual training is pro-
moted becomes so natural and happy that
all need of artificial restraint passes gradu-
ally. away. M is observed that the children,
refreshed by the variety of their work and
invigorated by the change from abstract to
concrete, are quieter and more studious
• aver their books than in schools where they
have only abstract studies to pursue. It is
demonstrated that children who pursue
manual studies stand. bettor in literary ones
' than the children who follow literary
studies alone. The per cent. of attendance
on enrolment is higher in schools where
manual training is a regular part of the
school work. Health, of course, is better.
From whatever side the question is ap-
proached the facts and statistics, the moral
as well as the intellectual and physical data,
are all in favor of the combination. Parents
who are unfamiliar with manual training
ask if its object is to make carpenters and
masons, shoemakers and laborers of their
children. They might better ask if to teach
a boy grammar is to condemn him to be a
poet ; to teach a girl singing is to prescribe
that she shall make a precarious living by
that ; if teaching geography to a *class is
to mean that all are to be explorers or
sailors or deck hands. Why do chil-
dren* learn the many operations in
so called " practical arithmetic ?
Why, for instance, do they spend
hours in computing compound interest?
In performing sums " in tare and tret ?
In double proportion and logarithms? Is it
that these operations are to be actually
perform.ed by them in life ? Or is it only
for the mental gymnastic that they con-
tain? The greatest part of all work done
in school is only mental gymnastic. Manual
training is not the making of carpenters
any more than learning interest principles
is the making of bankers, or the casting of
latitude and longitude the making of
captains. Manual training is the de-
velopment of the natural powers of observa-
tion and the quickening of the sense of
form, color and construction. It is the
grammar of the arts of design. It has the
same relation to all - practical arts that
mathematics has to all exact sciences.

NELLIE'S EOETUNE
Before a LIMO •WY-COVOPed eatEge OHO
evening etood a young tnan and a girl of
perhaps some eighteeu or nineteen summers.
" Nellie," the young man was saying,
" you know my furlough is up iX1 a week
and it certainly follows that I should de-
sire adecided answer from yon by that
time.',
" But, Captain Warden, you must let
me think about it," she said with an arch
" Of course, by all means my dear, I
will give you until the very lest minute,
if necessary; but I shall have a favorable
answer ?"
" Well, I will think about it," said the
girl.
Five Minutes later he left and hurried
down the road to his home, while the young
lady entered tho cottage singing a snatch
from a favorite ballad.
Nellie Pearsleywas the belle of Wellesley
and a. reputed heiress. It was whispered
that her uncle, Captain Pearson, had a snug
sum in store for his pretty little niece. Her
hand was sought by many of the young men
of the village, but she only kept them in
saspense, keeping each wondering if he were
the favored one.
The next evening about 8 o'clock the door
bell rang mad another one of her many ad-
mirers was ushered in. This one was also a
soldier and of the same regiment as Captain
Warden. .After a half an hour or so lie
managed to muster up courage enough to
get the fated question out, but Nellie made
evasive answers.
"1 should have to consult my uncle on
this matter, so it may be some time before I
can give you my answer,"
"1 should like to know within a week,
for my regiment is off for India then,
and it will be some time before I see you
again."
"I'll be sure to answer you before the
week is out," said the young heiress
absently.
The young man was satisfied and in a
few moments took his departure, priding
and consoling himself on the reply he ex-
pected to receive.
"Well," said Nellie to herself when he
had gone, "I'm in a fix. Two offers of
marriage in as many days and neither party
answered. Which shall I take? Why, it
is really alarming. I declare, if that is not
the door bell, again.
This time it was not a soldier, but a
young clerk who was ushered in. George
Warren had the reputation of being the
most bashful youth in the whole of Welisley.
"Why, good evening," said. Nellie, ex-
tending her hand, which the youth took
almost reverently with his. "1 am so
pleased to see you."
"1 heard you were going away," said
Nellie.
"Only for a few days on a little business
for the store."
"But when are you going ?" she con-
tinued.
"To -night 071 the east -bound train, which
will leave in a very short time."
• "Oh," pouted the young lady, "it is too
bad you have to go so SOOD.
• Greor,,,en laughed and blushed again. They
conversed for some time longer, when the
youth had his courage mustered up, as his
two predecessors had, and, after ten min-
utes'bard work, succeeded fairly well in
popping the question.
" Oh, you foolish boy," laughed the
young heiress. "Is that all you. were try-
ing to ask me for the last quarter of an
hour ?"
"You haven't answered. me yet," said
the young clerk, picking up fresh courage
byNellie's pleasantry.
"You must wait a few days, George,"
she said seriously. "1 must consult my
uncle on the matter."
"1 will wait as long as you want me to,
Nellie, but how long will you have to keep
me in suspense ?"
"I'll let you know by the end of the
week at least."
Bidding her good-bye he left the house
and was soon lost to view in the gloom.
"Just think," mused the girl, "of having
to face three offers in two nights, Captain
Warden and Lientenant Arkwright of Her
Majesty's 8th regiment and a clerk in a
country store. Well, I know now partly
whom I'll accept."
The next day Wellsley was awed by hear-
ing of the death of Captain Pearson, Nellie's
uncle He had succumbed to a disease from
which he had long been a sufferer. But
when after his funeral, his will was read
by which he left to Nellie all his worldly
possessions, these were found. to amount to
only a few hundred pounds. Was shelhen
the much -talked -of Wellesley heiress, for
whom many a youth had spent sleepless
nights in thinking of her and her little for-
tune? The mothers of the eligible young
men looked disgusted at what they consid-
ered a base deception and wondered to them-
selves what the proud Miss Pearson would
do now.
• A few days after the funeral Nellie was
standing in front of her cottage. All at
once she heard some one approaching, and
looking up saw Captain Warden coming
towards her.
" I hope, Miss Pearson," he said, coldly,
"that you will think lightly of the proposal
I made you a week ago. I have been think-
ing the matter over and have decided not
to marry just yet"
"1 ara perfectly satisfied with thearrange-
ment, and you may consider yourself free,"
said Nellie, independently.
• The following day she received a letter
from Arkwright It ran thus:
DEAR 111Iss PEatismv,—Upon thinking over
my proposal of marriage to you last week I
have decided that I was a little hasty, and
trust you -will permit inc to withdraw my offer
and that the arrangement will be satisfactory
to yon. --Ever your friend,
SAMUEL ARRWRIGHT.
"Yes," thought Nellie to herself, "1 am
perfectly satisfied with the arrangement, as
he calls it Those two men did not care for
me, but they supposed I hada large fortune.
Now I wonder if my country clerk will
remain faithful ?"
She met George several times, but he
never mentioned or hinted at the offer he
had made her, until a month after her
uncle's death.
"1 thotight ib would not do to mention
it so goon after Captain Pearson's death,
but I think 1 can now make bold enough to
•seek the answer promised me a month
ago."
" But my supposed fortune," said
Nellie.
"Fortune," echoed •George. "Do you
really mean to insinuate that I was after
your fortune."
Nellie mede no reply, but placed her hand
in his, and the soft gaze of her bine eyes
told him more than words.
The people of Wellesley were soon made
aware of the fact that Captain Pearson had
made all his fortune Over to her six months
before he died. This was why it was not
mentioned in the hit testament.
A year after his death a quiet marriage
took place in Wellesley, and it is hardly
necessary to say that George Warren was
the happy groom and 'Nellie Peersotl the
blushing bride.

announcement 1110(10 in the address of that
most graceful and winning orator, Mrs.
,Theephine Nichols, of Indianapolis, As
woman is the autocrat of society, so in her
is invested the power of lending a restrain-
ing influence in the cause of temperance.
Social drinking, which is growing more and
more customary in all greet cities, she traced
to thesociety of to -day when men
are enticed by women to become
slaves of the wine cup, The respon-
sibility which every woman must
recognize was pictured in burning words.
While the necessity of franchise is apparent,
in order to do effeotive temperance work,
the speaker urged that women may show
their colors by refusing to entertain in their
social circles the seller of liquer or he who
persistently upholds the liquor traffic.
"Women are culpable for allowing social
drink to reach its popularity." said Mrs.
Nichols. "By so doing they are .giving

Perhaps no temperance orator who has

held the attention of a vast congregation
more thoroughly than did this strong, clear

JOSEPHINE R. NICHOLS.
Mrs. Josephine R. Nichols has been the
ptesident of the Indiana W. C. T. U. since
1885, and for many years has held a high
place amongplatform speakers. She has
a rich, musical voice, fine enunciation, and
an easy, natural style of delivery which
make her a charming speaker, and her
natural graces of person have been com-
mented on by both press and public.
While Mrs. •Niehols has made many
addresses on temperance and other
subjects, her chief . claiia to die -
tinction lies in her special de-
partment of W. C. T. U. work for
state and county fairs, of which she has
been superintendent since 1883. Wherever
elle has worked she has been instrumental
in banishing the sale of intoxicants from the
grounds. She had charge of the exhibit at
the World's Fair in New Orleans, at the
Paris exposition, and has been selected for
this work at the coming Columbian exposi-
tion at Chicago. The distribution of
immense quantities of temperance literature
is a feature of Mrs. Nichols' "fair ground
work, and, she has become famous through
• her splendid abilityin carrying out the
designs of the department. —Toledo Blade.

enough. He is still in the van of hs guild.
Ile meets you with a smile, and he smiles
continuously. Even while telling you that
you do not know your own mind he smiles
and intimates that if you will accept his
judgment all will be well. He is charmingly
gracious if you submit to his dictation, but
if you become restive and allow him to see
that you have a preference for your taste,
and prefer to spend your money in your own
way, whether for your ultimate good or not,
there is apt to be a momentary exhibition of
his contempt for you. But he still smiles
while he—politely as he fancies—crushes
you with impertinence. You retreat deter-

ness again, but not to patronize the shop if
you can do as well elsewhere. And who is

religion is not a thing of creeds. It would

Watermelons In London.
Boston Sunday Herald : Londoners have
been revelling in.watermelons, a large con-
signment of that precious fruit having been
received from Cincinnati. It was a bright
idea sending over the watermelons, for
Cincinnati's wide-awake venture caused
almost a revolution among the British gar-
deners. As far as can be learned, the noble
Briton has taken kindly to the American
fruit, and solemnly asks if it will be pos-
sible to cultivate it in that foggy and
groggy little island. We don't believe it
can be done. The watermelon is a mixture
of hot sunshine add sugar and water, and
that could never be got together in English
soil. Several of the London dailies have
given long and imposing editorials on the
subject, but the true results of the exporta-
tion may be hoard from in the Lancet.
