Boys In Industrial School*.

TTie old system of apprenticing to tnulei has died oat in America. Nothing ao good bat taken its place as yet. The result is thai •oar best mechanics ere nearly all foreigners Tbey oomo from lands where manual trade* Are still learned by apprenticeship. The Amsrican boy drifts into professions and! clerkships, and catches bold haphazard whatever be can. Consequently, professions and clerkships are overcrowded. The coontry is foil of youths with hungry stomach* and white hands, who ought to be doing' manly work in the trades and earning a good living. It is a bad state of affairs.

To remedy it, industrial schools have been proposed These are simply apprentice classes where boys may become skilled workmen in any branch of the mechanical trades. Such schools are the naed of the country today. A good trade to a boy is worth gold. Several such training establishments have already been started in various parts of the country. The picture he.ow shows a scans Irani the New York City trades hoals.

YOUWO PLASTERERS.

Thaw schools wore only opened in 1881 by Co. R. T. Auchmuty, an architect. Instruction it given in bricklaying, plastering, plumbing, ca1 pen try, wood carving, stone cutting, fresco painting and pattern making. Different branches are added from time to time ii3 is found expedient. The school buildings are of brick, one story high, situated OJ First avenue, between Sixty-seventh and Hi xty-eighth streets. The school is not free, but is meant to be merely self-support-fog. Small charges are made for iuatruotfan. Below you have the

CARPENTER BOT8.

These aro very much interested in their alesn, artist work. They havtj prepared aocne specimens for exhibition at the next American Institute. They learn book carpentry, too, these young men do. A work «*Uod "How to Use Wood-working Tools," by George L. Seney, is a valuable text book.

There are over 200 pupils now in the schools. Large results in point of health a»d safety may be expected, especially from tkt plumbers' class. If Col. Anchmuty can aducate a conscience into the youths who adopt this trade he will ba a benefactor of the race. One of the directions given to ths young plumbers is this: "Do not use inferior material to secure a job, or even to oblige the owner a leak in a soil pipe may cause death or the ruin of a life through sickness."

The young students are instructed, besides the shop-practice, by lectures and written examinations. Thus their brains are taught as well as their fingers. The former is an Important part of a mechanic's education that is sometimes left out They are also taught that a mechanic may be a gentleman in his manners, tastes, and in every other respect. The age of admission to the jchools Is 16 to 25 years.

There are such training school, as these in all the leading countries of Europe. There government itself has taken the matter up, and in many instances the institutions are under its direct patronage. Unless America would be quite left be* ud in the industrial arts, she must have first-class schools of the same sort. Their establishment will be the solution of many a knotty problem that now •exes us.

Woudarful Invention In Telegraphy, Two Philadclphians, Messrs. Hathaway and Linville, have perfected apiece of machinery which is designed to revolutionise the whole system of telegraphy. The Morse .alphabet and the slow and painful practice of •mind-reading will be done It way with at one stroke by this invention. By it everybody who can read can work a telegraph instrustent For the telegraph companies the good results of the change can hardly bo estimated. For the operators employed by them, howaver, the revolution may not be an unmixed good.

The invention consists simply in applying the common type-writer to telegraphing. Instead of making dots and marks, the operator strikes the keys of a type-writer containing the ordinary alphabet, a, b, c, etc. Ha strikes the keys to spell out the words and lettara of the message. These are printed by electricity upon a slip of paper both at the operator1!desk and at the other and of the line where the mawaga received. The transmitting and receiving instruments in this invention are precisely aliko. Thus there can be no errors in transmission. Forty or fifty words per minute can be sent by al most any one. Much expanse in telegraphing will be done away with, A ticket agent, or wagon driver can enter the office and telegraph a message as well as anybody t.i brief, with this invention, anybody can i» a :*l«graph operator. The discover •earns simple that the only wonder is thai nobulv tUHjght of it bafocw.

Water Pipe IJne la Ecrpt An American newspaper, The Netf York Eon, suggested that the principle of the oilpipe lines in the United States could be applied to the conveying of water through the desert for the use of the British troops in Soudan. The suggestion was taken np in England and the plan actually adopted. It is to lay a line of pipe from Berber to 8uaHm and force water through by powerful pumping engines. The New York firm that rniin thA engines for the oil company is now manufacturing similar ones for the British government. The distance from Berber to Suakim is 260 miles. Pumping engine star tions will be placed from 20 to 30 miles apart along route. While the railway already projected is building, the pipe will supply those constructing it with water. Should El Mabdi's men cut the pipe at any point, it will be immediately detected by diminished pressure of water at the nearest station, and a force can be sent out to repair it.

Fact* of Interest.

SteamS preferred in Germany as a fire extinguisher. A one and a horse power gas engine, running ten hours a day, costs ten cents an hour, all expenses.

At a recent contest in rapid telegraphing in New York, J. W. Rolosson, of the Stock Exchange, transmitted 500 words in 10 minutes and 32 seconds To do this he was obliged to make 1,860 movements of his wrist and arm per minute.

Having shown the effect of sine acted upon by potable water, F. P. Venable, Ph«D., says that when the dangerous nature af sine as a poison is taken into consideration the use of zinc-coated vessels in connection with water or any food liquid should be avoided.

The Ladies' Health association of New York have taken up in earnest the question of removing the slaughter houses from New York city, with a view of preventing cholera and other sickness. Deaths in the slaughter house districts are far more numerous than alsewhere in the city.

A water bicycle has been invented. It amounts in fact to a small raft or boat with wheels. These are propelled by pedals like those of a bicycle. It is steered from the front. The craft moves up stream at. the rate of six miles an hour. The force required to propel it is so slight that a child can move it

The society of naturalists of St Petersburg has received permission to send several of its members to join the Russian representatives on'the Afghan boundary commission, with the view to the scientific exploration of Cen tral Asia. The British commission, which if now on the ground, has with it a geologist a naturalist and several topographers. There is then a good prospect of something accu rate being made known to the world at largt regarding a region of which very litUebaa been described with precision,

A writer in The London Lancet makes himself deaf at will. He puts some spermaceti ointment upon a tiny square of thin, limp cotton cloth, brings the corners together, and ties them with thread. This forms a little plug, which he presses gently but firmly into each ear. It makes him quite deaf to ordinary noises, and he is able to sleep through th-s sound of pianos, cats, babies and thunder. The ointment must not be too soft, and must be about the size of a pea. It must lie loosely in the little cotton bag

«VMWTO FICHU.

We head this department this week with a pretty and graceful fichu to go with an evening dress. It is, in fact, really aesthetic. For a lady who does not care to go with bare neck and arms, it will be a most graceful drapery. She will look dressed up, and yet be covered. The fichu can go over a blade, dark blue or red costume, or almost any other, it takes a yard and a quarter of light bin* silk, spotted with red velvet Creamcolored silk spotted with the velvet will also ba pretty. Cut the silk bias. Crass it over the chest, have one long end and one short one, as in the illustration. Fasten ends with bows of red velvet, collar and cuffs of red velvet Edge the fichu between the bowt with deep, cream-colored lace. The bucklei that clasp upon the shoulder and at the sids are gold or gilt

Skirts of cream-colored nun's veiling to go with such are to be bought ready-made. With Sowers at the bodice such a costume "will be pretty for evening. The jerseys and skirts to match come in all colors, however.

New Spring Costumes.

This year the joyous festival of spring was more than usually marked by flowers new dresses. The churches seemed to be decorated as never before with profusion of blossoms—churches of all denominations minded the day. Special services of music were held in many of them.

But the great feature at the day was tlx new dresses and Easter bonnets. The costumes which first saw the light of Fifth avenue Easter afternoon were marvels is more senses than one. The rage this year is for combinations of contrasting color. Some of are hideous. Colors and tints, that have heretofore been considered the proper thing for evening costumes, are generously displayed in the broad sunlight Fifth avenue in the light of the new spring dresses looks like a moving garden of old-fashioned marigolds, zinnias, hollyhocks and sunflowers. One dress was deep red, with panels of sky blue. Cream color and golden brown was another street combination. Yet another was a brilliant, fiery orange and black, handsome and striking for. evening, but queer in the street

The tendency is to broad and picturesque effects in dress, in doors and out One might say, in truth, queer and loud effects, and not be wrong in some instances.

The Hair.

Some "professor," maybe a barber or com doctor, has been delivering himself of oracular wisdom concerning the care of the hair. This individual solemnly warns against washing it Instead, he recommends some nasty mess composed of chloroform, grease and ammonia to promote the growth of the hair. Perhaps he wants the ladies to blister their scalps. "Dab it on the skin," be says. Just so. "Dabbing" things upon the hair is what the Alaska Indian does. He sometimes has as much at 15 pounds of rancid tallow and yellow earth upon bis head. The Alaska Indian does not believe in washing his hair. He allows the distinguished head-dress in question to remain upon his head year by year. The smell it gives off by and by is said to be something fearful and wonderful.

But for a civilized white woman or man nothing is better than washing one's hair, and keeping it wholesome and decent A clean, white scalp showing underneath the parting of the locks is a real mark of beauty. Do not put anything at all upon your hair. Wash it with fine toilet soap once a week thoroughly, rubbing the scalp with your fingers. Ik careful to rinse the soap all out Then rut dry with towels. Comb and brush well. Continue this and you will find your hair become soft and silky. It may seem dry anc inclined to fly about at first, but if the soap is ail washed off it will become soft and light like a baby's locks.

The "professor" says hair that is inclined to fall out wants "moderate stimulation without irritation." To be sure. Then he recommends another mess to "dab" upon it, and advises tremendous brushing. He says it cleans the scalp. Now, nothing irritates the scalp more than a very stiff brush. Ii scratches the skin when rubbed in too much. Wash your hair as often as it is dirty. Don't gum up the hair glands with oil or other sticky substances. Keep the scalp clean, and let the natural oil in the glands have play. Tie and braid the hair loosely so air may get to every part of it Cover the head lightly, winter and summer. The hair was meant tc do that, and to keep it warm. It will do it ii you give it a chance. By this treatment you will find it growing thick and vigorous.

Painted Panels.

Anew and very pretty fashion Ir coming in, which ladies having leisure time on their hands will be pleased to cultivate. It is nothing less than having door panels painted in flowers, vines, and other artistic designs. Women who have learned to draw will very readily be able to make these paintings for themselves. Wall paintings in flower, leaf and vine and fruit designs are also picturesque and refreshing to the eye. The fruit designs are especially adapted to the dining room. A border or frieze around the whole top of the walls of a room is very striking, when artistically dona For a dining room we have seen one of a twining grapevine, with clusters of fruit, and vines and tendrils. In cities it is the custom to hire a decorator to do this wall and door painting. There is really no reason at all, however, why women should not learn to do it themselves, and thus decorate their own homes. It would be a new kind of fancy work, infinitely more artistic and fascinating than crazy-quilt making. The time spent, too, over a single crazy quilt would often suffice to enable a woman to draw and paint well. It is a necessary part of an education now to know how to draw. Many grown men and women are remedying a defect in their early training by learning it now.

Painted panels are set in many things where one would hardly look for them. Paintings on china are set in oval shape in the backs of chairs. The china painted panels are seen in mantelpieces, headboards of beds «nH elsewhere. The door panels are mostly simply painted upon the wood. Anew process, however, in which pictures and other things are transferred upon glass panels has attracted considerable attention in circles that cultivate artistic home decoration. An idea of it may be obtained from the description below: Two oblong panels to be set in the door of a library are of glass, prepared in the following manner: Engravings (two interiors'and vary brilliant in subject) are transferred by some prooess to the surfaces, and the coloring, which is quite artistic, is all from the back. The effect is that of rich painting on glass. thar unique panels, wherein real fruits, twigs, vines, bullrushea, etc., are fomtonw! upon woods and bronaed by some one of the "liutra" processes, are to be seen. m- -,/
