He gave instructions both theoretically_and practical. “Prof: Norton then took up the subject of Physical Geography, which it is useleas to say, was handled in a manner which showed that the Professor was in his element. After recess Mrs. Carr explained the schools of other ¢ountries than are the schools to which a majority of other countries the child is pent to school to learn how to make a living at some honorable employment. When the boy leaves the school he finds himself possessed of u knowledge of the _ use of hig hands as wellas his head. The girl finds that in addition to can sew and spin. They have been prepared for life work, and taught that labor is honorable, useful -and. healthy. Girls in our own land are taught at home'’and at school by pre' oept and example;“that soft white hands and a lily wh‘te.complexion are preferable to dextrous fingers trained to useful employment. In older countries where pdpulation ‘is “more dense, it has been learned by experience. that food and clothing can be best and most: ‘honorably obtained by labor. .Hencethe schools are conducted so as to prepare pupila for future usefulaess and life ‘work. The boy who attends our institutions of learning knows as little of what will assist him to make a. living when.he g@ts through as he did when he commenced, Our system, in this respect, is wrong, and in many others is inferior to that of older countries.

About three weeks ago the passengera op the Cars of thé street railroads of Sau Franciseo had their curiosity aroused bya nondescript apparatus which conductors began to nipping the tickets. In appearance the instrumeut resembled a single-barreled pistol, and it is said that some timid persons had their fears excited when it was pointed atthem. It was not, however, its appearance alone. that was commented upon, although that was sufficient for animated discussion, kut the fact that with every nip it produced a ringing sound, as from a smal, finely tempered bell attracted to itincreaséd attention. So marked an innovation on-.the old system of punching tickets made~ conjectures active». The object aimed at. by the companies could not be understood by the ordinary passenger, and: as the new apparatuswas strang by a ductor, it was conspicuous enough to become the chief subject for Spec‘ulation, By this time it is pretty generally understood that the ringing nipper is intended as a more effectual check on the dishonesty of -con‘ductors, and that its internal mechanism registers every passenger that rides by the cars, _ Sal Tux following extract from the Colusa Sun indicates ‘the straits to which some people have been driven by the drouth and hard times: ‘*We understand that acouple of young women passed up by Stony Creek last week, carrying their blankets and looking for work.

About three weeks ago the passengera op the Cars of thé street railroads of Sau Franciseo had their curiosity aroused bya nondescript apparatus which conductors began to nipping the tickets. In appearance the instrumeut resembled a single-barreled pistol, and it is said that some timid persons had their fears excited when it was pointed atthem.
