Mirw KIND OF SCHOOL. To ITse the HasuU â- â€¢ Well as Kjtm a Great Idea In Edueation. There is a new kuid of school and there are new lessons and new teachers coming, says " 8t. Nicholas." Books we must have. To learn we mast read. But we may read all about boats, and yet we can never learn to sail a boat till we take the tiller in hand and trim the sail before the breeze. The book will help wonderfully in telling as the names of things in the boat and, if we have read aboat sailing, v^e shall more quickly learn to sail ; bat we certainly never shall learn till we are in a real boat. We can read in a book how to turn a heel in knitting and may commit to memory whole rules about " throwing oS two and pari four," and all the rest ; yet where is the girl who can learn to knit without having the needles in her hands ? This then is the idea of the new school â€" to use the hands as well as the eyes. Boys and girls who go to the ordinary schools, where only books are used, will graduate knowing a great deal ; but a boy who goes to one of these new schools where, besides the books, there are pencils and tools, work benches as well as writing books, will know more. The other boys and girls may forget more than half they read, but he will remember everything he learned at the drawing table or at the work bench as long as he lives. He will also remember more of that which he reads, because his work with his hands helps him to under- stand what he reads. I remember lohg ago a tear-stained book of tables of weights and measures and a teacher's impatience with a stupid child who could not master the " tables." And I have seen a school where the tables were written on a blackboard, thus: " Two pints are ecjual to one quart," and on t stand in the school-room were a tin pint measure and a tin quart measure and a box of dry sand. Every happy youngster had a chance to fill that ^int measure with sand and poor the sand into the quart measure. Two pints tilled it. He knew it. Did he not see it ? Did not every boy try it ? Ah ! Now they knew what it all meant. It was as plain as day that two pints of sand were e<|ual to one quart of sand ; and with merry smiles those 6-year-old philosophers learned the tables of measures ; and they will never forget them. This is, in brief, what is meant by industrial education. To learn by using the hands, to study from things as well as from books. This is the new school, these are the new lessons. The children who can sew and design, or draw, or carve wood, or do joinering work, or cast metals, or work in clay aud brass, are the best educated children, because they nse their hands as well as their eyes and their brains. You may say that in such schools all the boys will become mechanics and all the girls dressmakers. Some may ; many will not ; and yet whatever they do, be it preaching, keeping a store, or singing in concerts, they will do their work better than those who only read in books. SNOWBALLS AND KITLLETH. A COUNTKHFKIT HOUHKMAID. and ftab**lboy Shot by a Plnkerton Man while NnowballlnK. A Jersey City, N.J., despatch says: Yes- terday afternoon while a number of boys were playing in an open lot at the corner of Henderson and Eighteenth streets, in this oity, adjoining the yards of the Delaware, I>ackawaDna ik Western Railroad Com- pany, a fracas occurred between the boys and Pinkorton's men, and Thomas Hogan, 16 years old, a looker-on, was shot and killed by one of Pinkerton's men wlio were stationed in the company's pro|>erty. Occa- Hionally the boys rained a shower of snow- balls and other missiles upon the men. On t^e west side of Henderson street a crowd of strikers and their sympathizers were assembled, and they lent encouragement to the boys by their smiles of approval. At length the leader of the Pinkerton men stepped forward and ordered the boys to Htop throwing the missiles. The boys did not obey, ond almost inmiediately three sharp cracks of a revolver rang out and Uoj^w fell dead. "ftie excitement was intense, and the lookers-on fled in every direction. leader of the strikers, as soon as he could get his men together, ordered them back to their headquarters at the corner of Hender- son and Ferry streets. Hogan was return- ing home from work when he mot his death. The police collected a number of witnesses of the shooting, and marched the I'inkerton men out in line. He then ordered the witnesses to identify the men who shot. They selected Patrick Sheehy, Daniel Cahill and S. A. Noff, and identified them as the three men wlio flred at the boys. The inspector of police examined their revolvers and found every chamber loaded. The men were taken to jmlice headqiiorters and held for bail. How She Captivated Horsenien Captured Their Purketbooks.

During the past month or so the peculiar thing about No. 4,5 has been a wondrously pretty housemaid, who burnished the front win dows with daily industry and grace. She was a slender blonde, wearing a plain black dress, a white apron and a jaunty lace cap, after the fashion of neat domestic servants in the households of the rich. For about an hour every forenoon and afternoon she was visible from the street, as she stood pictures<|uely poised on a stepladrler inside the window, at work on the panes. The turfmen observed her ; many of them flirted with her. Not a few, being shyly encouraged, made her aujuaintance, to be naively invited to call at a certain time, when the mistress would be out. Nearly every admiring visitor left his wallet, his watch or some jewellery in possesHion of the girl, and kept his loss to himself, not caring to stand the ridicule of his aojuaintances.

Dramatic Scene In Courtâ€" Aoqoltled on a Charge of Hoabaad Murder. When Emma Moore, of Port Huron, Ifich., a girl of 18, married Captain Duncan McCraig five years ago she was considered to be the most beautiful girl in Port Huron, and she was as lovely in disposition as in face and form. Captain McCraig was more than ten years older than his wife, a vessel owner and one of the best known captains on the chain of great lakes. Boon after their marriage Captain McCraig, who drank freely, grew jealous of the admiration his wife's beauty excited on all sides, and they soon quarrelled. A little daughter came, but failed to heal the breach, and after a time Mrs. McCraig left her husband and went back to the home of her parents. Two years ago they wore divorced on account of the captain's abuse, and then he grew more insanely jealous of her and made her life a burden. While in his cups he would frequently attack her character, and there were not wanting those who feared some dreadful tragedy would end it all. THE TRAOEDV. These apprehensions were realized on March 2dth, lM8(i. On that day Captain McCraig, who was arranging for the open- ing of navigation, became intoxicated and at midnight was taken to his home by friends. He did not stay there, however, but immediately went to the house of Mis. McCraig â€" or Miss Moore, for she had taken her maiden name â€" and aroused the house and neighborhood by his efforts to get in. Her aged father went out and tried to pacify the enraged man, who pushed his way into the house and to his former wife's chamber. The infuriated man attacked his wife in her night-clothes and brutally beat her until, fearing for her life, she tied to another room, procured a shotgun, and, retomiiig, shot the drunken madman dead. No tragedy ever before occurred here which caused so profound a sensation. THE ABREST AND TRIAL. Miss Moore was arrested, jailed and subsetjuently bailed. Her trial for murder was looked forward to for months as a great event. It began a week ago, and attracted immense crowds of people, includ- ing the most prominent men and women of the place. A jury of farmers was finally secared, and the defendant's counsel announced that the defence was juatiliable homicide. The prosecuting attorney was assisted by the ablest counsel in the city, and Miss Moore's interests were in capable hands. When the fair prisoner gave her testimony the court room could not begin to hold the people. There was not a drv eye in the room when she had finished her story. She told of her blighted life, the abuse she had snffered from McCraig, and how on the tragic night, goaded to desperation by his assault, his cruel words of slander, and afraid of her life, she shot him. " Bo help me, Uod," she concluded, " 1 did not mean to kill him, but if 1 did wrong I am willing to take the consequences." She rose as she said this, and the tears in her eyes could no longer be kept back. The greatest silence reigned. Then the jury retired, and in a short time brought in a verdict of " not guilty." Judge Stearns forbade any demonstration. POCKETS OF THE FAIR. Safe and Handy Receptacles of the Sor Mot Tat Invented. The exploits of the child thief, Lillian Smith, have led to some comments on the female method of carryingthe pocket-book. Notwithstanding all the genius and labor which have been expended on woman's apparel since Eve left the Garden of Eden, the sex has not yet been provided with a successful pocket. To produce this, safety and convenience must both be consulted. When a woman enjoys a safe re(«ptacle it is not a convenient one, and vic« versa. Diedrich Knickerbocker tells of the marvellous pockets of the matrons of New Amsterdam, who rarely lost anything from them by theft, but it sometimes took the good women several hours to find in them what they wanted to use themselves. We live in too rapid an age to permit a re- turn to this kind of security. The male trousers pocket is so located and constructed that only the most skilful thief ventures to tamper with it, and he does so at great risk. The fob pocket is almost absolutely secure. Mr. Weller, indeed, relates an inci- dent where an expert butted his head against the abdomen of a fat man who acofiingly defied him, and, taking advantage of the collapse, secured his watch : but this was a plain case of highway robbery, and is not here to be considered. So far as men are concerned, the problem of the pocket may be said to be satisfactorily solved. The prospect of relief to women in this respect IS far from clear. Questions of anatomy, pride in personal appearance, modesty and the various descriptions of mysterious machinery and cordage â€" of which there are suggestions in modistes' windows â€" serve to complicate the difficulty. The philosopher and philanthropist of the sterner sex can do no more in the premises thon point out the necessity for an ade(|uate invention. The rest women must do for themselves. â€" S,'W York H'urld. MEN WITH BREATH OF FIRE. Not Imps from the Fonl Side of the Stya, Bnt Real Human B«Ib|S. We had occasion in a recent namber to refer to a remarkable case in which tb« breath of an individual, or rather th« eructations from his stomach, took fire when brought in conUct with a lighted match. This caae, which was reported in the Medical lUcord, has called forth com- munications from physicians by which it would appear that the phenomenon is not such a rare one as was at first supposed. In one case of disordered digestion the patient emitted inflammable gas from the mouth, which, upon analysis, was found to be largely composed of marsh gas. In another case the gas was sulphureted hydrogen. A case is reported in the Brituh Mudical Juurnal, in which, while blowing out a match, the patient's breath caught fire with a noise like the report of a pistol, which was loud enough to awaken his wile. One evening, while a confirmed dyspeptic was lighting his pipe, an eructation of gaa from his stomach occurred, and the ignited gas burned his mustache and lips. In Ewald's book on indigestion, the analysia of gas in one of these cases was : Carbonic acid, '20.57 ; hydrogen, 20..07 ; carbureted hydrogen, •JO.?.'". ; oxygen, 6.7'J; nitroge" 41.38; sulphureted hydrogen, a trace. The origin of these gases is undoubtedly the un- digested food, which in these cases under- goes decomposition.â€" ;S'ci<rtic«. A Scandalous Story Confirmed. A Lansing, Mich., despatch says : Before the House Judiciary Committee to-d-<y Ilepresentative Breen, of Menominee, con- firmed the charge thai there has been a regular trade in young girls between Mil- wankee and Chicago and the mining regions of the Upper Peninsula. Mr. Breen said that the horrors of the camps into which these girls are inveigled cannot be adequately described. There is no escape for the poor creatures. In one case a girl oeoaped after being shot in the leg and took refuge In a swamp. Dogs were started on her trail, and she was linnted down and taken back to the den. In another case, a girl escaped while a dance was going on at the shanty into which she had been lured. Alter several days and nights of privation she made her way to an island near the shore in Lake Michigan, where a man named Stanley lived. But the dogs and haman bloodhounds trailed her, Stanley was overcome and the girl was taken back. The law now provides for imprisonment of only one year in case of conviction of any oonnection with thi; trafiic, and it is pro- posed to amend it.

" No" is said by rolling both gloves in the right hand. If you want to express that you are indifferent to a partner, take the right hand glove partly off. If you wish a male friend to follow you into the next room, strike your left arm with both gloves. " I love you still," is expressed by slowly and carefully smoothing both gloves. If the fair she desires to know whether her affection is reciprocated, she is to put on half the left hand glove, one finger at a time " Be on your guard against the governor," or "my mother-in-law," as the case may be, is message often sent, and is given by del cately twisting the glove fingers round the thumb. If the damsel is in a (juarrolsome mood she simply makes a cross with both her gloves and proceeds to lay them on her lap in this position. These are the principal and most simple rules. â€" Pall Mall Gazette. Cranks In Britain. " Tramp, tramp, tramp, the boys are marching," and each boy marches in a more peculiar way than his predecessor. First we had the man with the wheelbarrow, who has got safely back to Dundee ; next there was a gentleman who started with a pile of bricks on his head ; and the latest per- formance is that of an old army pensioner, who has started to walk from Jarrow to Newport, in Monmouthshire, carrying a bucket of coals weighing ten pounds. â€" Loiuion Globe. A Snow Battle by Hrltlsli Soldiem. 'Die 2nd Iloyal Inniskillca Fusiliers, at Aldershot, England, divided into two op- posing forces of about AW officers, non- commissioned oHioers and privates each, varied their work at snow-clearing one day recently with an exciting snow fight, which lasted nearly two hours. The right wing was commanded by CJolonel G. U. Stokes (comnianding the battaliiin), the left wing by Major Wodehouse, whose chief of the staff was Captain Greenfield. Both wings occupy lines in the South Camp and two parade grounds about '200 yard« apart. Col. Stokes, having resolved to take the opposing wing by surprise, sent forward an advanced guard, which, having moved stealthily over the snow, fortified itself in a well-formed snow fort until the arrival of the main body under Col. Stokes, who im- mediately sent a strong line of skirniishers into the lines occupied by the opposing force, which was mercilessly sub- joct«'<l to volleys of glittering snow- balls before it could realize the fact that it was taken by surprise. The buglers at once sonndnl the alarm and assembly in the besieged lines, and ofiicers and men ralliedâ€"some without jackets or tunics, and some without any hcad-dress- 011 the private parade ground and advanced to storm the fort. Ten times in succession the assaulting force was gallantly led by its officers to the glacis of the fort; but, not- withstanding partial lodgments, it was as many times repulsed, the few men left be- hind in the work being nearly smothered with snow. Ultimately the commander of the assailant', detached a strong party un dcr Capt. Grionfield to take the fort in flank ; but for this move Colonel Stokes had not been unp.cpared. Without materially weakening his front or right flank, he massed superior nombers against the storming party, literally overwhelming it. Then the buglers sounded the cessation of hostilities and each force, claiming the victory, retired from the field completely exhausted. By the time the fight was over not a trace of the fort conld be seen. There is a large and active leaven of righteousness in the wicked city of Louis- ville, Ky., in the person of the Rev.

" No feller can ever go belly slapper on 'em, 'n they're no good."â€" Hartford Pott. _ A young lady of Louisville was carefully picking her way along a sHppery sidewalk the otner day just behind an elderly and portly man. Suddenly he slipped, and in his efforts to keep from falling down ho threw one hand backward and struck the young lady B(]narely and violently on the noso.

A cause of annoyance at one of the largest factories of the State lately has been the illness of most of the employees from severe colds- The condition of the work people has not interrupted the progress of manu- facturing, as an epidemic of fever or some contagious disease might do, but it has been serious enough to attract the notice of the officers, to bring the attention of the public to the matter, and to cause an in- vestigation of reasons for the ill-health and to suggest possible reme<lies. In each de- partment some of the employees are absent from duty and the majority are suffering from coughs, influenza and other forms of the harassing ailment which brings distress, but little sympathy. The foreman, upon being ijuestioned on the cause of the dis- turbance, invariably replied that one reason was undoubtedly tlie sudden change from the overheated air of the factory to the cold out-of-door air felt by the employees when they were dismissed. All would rush out of doors at the sound of the bell, and the shock would weaken them, si:i that the sudden exposure could not be endured night after night. Another cause given was the exposure to draughts of air from windows openetl when the employees could no longer work comfortably in the close, heated atmosphere. Each reason seemed to i>oint to the need of better venti- lation ill tiio factory. Thi' cx|H'ricucf of this large establislinieiit, which is ratltvr exceptional in its fine, large, sunny rooms and comfortable furnishings, is illustrative of similar circumstances in many mills in the State. Since most of the im|»rtant factories were erected before the principles of sanitary science were generally recog- nized as essential to healthful conditions, the system of ventilation is oftener the result of cliano* than of science. Large workrooms in which many employees work together are usually overheated and insui. ficiontly ventilated. In these rooms o<:cu- pied by many people colds become preva- lent, and consumption and rheuinatisni, the enemies of all who are sut)je<t<>d to exposure or unsanitary conditions, weaken the vitality of the workers Slid cause con- stant change in the force of employees. When to the evil of overheated rooms is added the ignorance of many work people in the rules of diet and other laws of health- ful living, it is, perhaps, surprising that the health rejiorts of large cities show such steady progress in length of life attained by the average. The remedies for ovcrheatetl work-rooms and factories are compiratively simple, though they may be both elaborate and expensive. It would be the height of sanitary improvement to add the open fire- place ventilation now widely employed in the construction of school-houses. But when this arrangement is impossible there are many simple devices for window ventilation which could be used with good results at small cost. Many large factories and shops have given opportunities in education to their employees through lectures ujwn topics of hygiene, and when the lecturer is practical and not too abstruse in his presen- tation of the theme the employees are much benefitted. In some foreign factories a physician is employed by tho manufactur- ers for tho consultation and assistance of the work people, and if illness becomes a serious cause of interruption to work in this country, tlie factory doctor maybe a neces- sary oflicial. -Itoflim Journal. . . â€" â-  â€" » â€" ' A Call From Trinity Trinity Church has extended a call to Rev- Francis Lobdell.

Ilartehorn, (From Hall's Journal of Health-) The original source of supply of ammo- nia was camel's dung. It is found in the refuse matters of men and animals, and esi)ecially in the urine. It is this that pro- duces the pungent and sickening odor in urinals and neglected stables. It is, in its concentrated form, peculiarly destructive to the delicate tissues of the animal econ- omy. The action of ammonia on the aensi- tive membranes of the eye is the most pro- minent cause of blindness in horaea. Animals that are confined in close stables, where manure is allowed to accumulate iu considerable (juantity, are, in addition to blindness, peculiarly liable to diseases of the lungs and the kidneys from the action of ammonia. The effect of this drug seems to be cumulative, and when taken into the stomach in small doses repeatedly it is easy to conceive that its action must be irritating to the coating of the stomach, and to those far more sensitive membrane* that line the passage of the urinary ap- paratus. Ammonia is used in the manufacture of some baking powders, and probably one- half the cans of baking powder on grocers' shrives contain it. If you get the pungent fumes of ammonia, discard the baking powder. Tiiere are plenty of baking powders in the market that are made only from pure cream of tartar and bicarbonate of soda, with a little flour or starch com- bined as a preservative. Buy only baking powders that have printed guarantees on the labels, or in the circulars contained iu the cans.
