The Pubject r Indnmrinl Kilnrntinn as
Viewed Train tin English Htnnilpoint.
A remarkable report Las lately been
published by Ihe University of Cam
bridge, England, ou the subject of
industrial education, from -which we
make the following interesting extracts :
Premising that since workingmen can
not come to the university, it is the
university's duty to go to them,
it proposes to open a course of
Bpecifio training, not for the so-called
liberal professions, or for middlemen of
any kind, but for the veritable producers
in other words for the working class.
Since the decay of the old apprentice
system very little lias been done for the
education of labor. It is plain that the
establishments known under the name
of ragged schools scarcely belong to the
class of industrial seminaries. As their
title indicates, these industrial institu
tions receivo the children of poor
parents, or orphans, afford them lodging
and nourishment, and employ them in
various trades. The extreme youth of
these children they graduate, as a rule,
at the age of fifteen prevents them from
receiving a substantial technical train
ing. On the other hand considerable
progress has been made iu this
direction by certaiu countries on the
continent, and some examples especially
worthy of imitatiou are pointed out in
this report.
Industrial schools seem to be quite
numerous in the German Empire and
Austria, in Denmark, Sweden, Holland
and Belgium. They are generally known
as "apprentices workshops," but they
combine theoretical with practical in
struction, and presuppose graduation
from primary schools. Iu Belgium
pupils ore admitted from the age of
twelve, or even earlier, if they can show
the requisite measure of elementary
knowledge.
In Holland the most important tech
nical academies for producers are those
of Amsterdam. The school for boys,
founded in 18G1 by the " Society of the
Working Classes," was designed to train
workmen for those trades which are con
nected with architecture and ship
building. The course of instruction
lasts three years, and includes besides
certain studies supplementary of pri
mary acquirements the elements of
metrics, of mechanics aud natural his
tory, the art of drawing, the study of
tools and materials, carpentry, masonry,
tie nse of the lathe ancVthe forge. The
pupils must, be at least thirteen years of
age, and have received a good elementary
education. They are required to pay an
annual fee, which does not exceed, how
ever, thirteen dollars. There is likewise
a training school for girls in Amsterdam,
whose management has been attended
with good results, because it has avoided
the common error of wasting time on
lady-liko accomplishments.
In Scandinavia and the German em
pire, the apprentice schools differ only
m some details of small importance from
those above described. We merely note
that they are government institutions,
whereas in Vienna, Prague, and through
out Austria, the indtiatrial academies
were created by private enterprise, al
though they receivo a subsidy from the
State. Passing to other countries, wo
find the idea of technical training for
the working classes has borne but meagre
fruit in Switzerland, although the svstem
of rudimentary instruction is singularly
efficient.
Notwithstanding the many projects
brought forward at the epochs of its
various revolutions, France, as a nation,
has done almost nothing in the way of
providing a substitute for the old sys
tem of apprenticeship, which passed
away with the ancient regime. She
seems to have taken thought for every
thing except skilled labor. Her unri
valled assemblage of art, scientific and
professional schools is supplemented by
a score of special institutions, whose
graduates are qualified to direct every
species of industrial and agricultural en
terprise, and by a number of business
colleges, framed on the model of the
Eiwle Turgot, whose pupils are fitted for
the several branches of foreign and
domestic trade. But of schools for work
men the state has none, if we except the
establishment founded by the Sardinian
government and transferred to France
upon the annexation of Savoy aud Nice.
It is true that a few municipalities have
created apprentice schools, but their
number is extremely limited. Paris has
only one institution of the kind the ap
prentice school of the Boulevard de la
Villette. This, however, merits special
attention, because, according to Professor
Stuart, of Cambridge University, it pres
ents the most perfect type of an indus
trial academy. We may add that at his
s iggestion a fac-simile of it is about to be
organized in England.
The single object of this school, first
opened in 1873, is ts produce intelligent
and skilful workmen. The specific call
ings for which its pupils are trained are
those .of workers in iron and workers in
""wood. Boys are admitted between the
ages of thirteen and sixteen, after an ex
amination which has regard to orthogra
phy, arithmetic and the metrio system.
Not only is tuition gratuitous, but deserv
ing students receive once a fortnight a
certain compensation for their labor,
varying from forty cents to a dollar. The
period of apprenticeship is three years.
During the first two years a day's labor
includes six hours in the workshop and
five in the class, while for the lost year
it means eight hoars of practice with
tools end three hours of study.
d During the first twelve- month the pupil
passes one or two months alternately iu
- each of the specialties taught, so that he
can determine which suits his taste,
;while the directors can observe his apti-
' tiule. Only at the beginning of the sec
oud year does the apprentice, with the
advioe of his parents aud teachers, decide
upon a given trade, to which thencefor
ward he devotes himself exclusively. The
'creation of this school would have been
impracticable daring the second empire
aua nnder the existing regime it has en
countered many obstacles. Yet its pro
grH has bees remarkable. The number
of apprentices, which four years ago was
seventeen, is now nearly two hundred.

THE PERILS OF THE SURF.
A Description of Ihe Lire Ravlna? Mere-Ire ef
Ihe t'nlied Mlfitra-Intrrcntlns 1'nrtien.
Inn.
The traveler who, approaohing the
Atlantic coast by night at this season of
the year, sees a continuous line of lights
up and down the shore as far as his
vision can reach, has little idea in general
of the elaborate arrangements that are
made by the government to save his
life, should accident or mismanagement
put his vessel in peril. The men at
tached to the 150 stations of the United
States life-saving service are continually
patrolling the beach, aud every night
the light of their bright lanterns" can be
seen iu an almost unbroken line, from
the uppermost point of Maine to the
lowest point of Florida. The harder
the storm, the worse the night, the more
watchful are thoy in their vigils; and it
would be almost impossible for an un
fortunate vessel to be in distress any
where along the coast without being
speedily seen. Every one of the stations
is under charge of a competent keeper,
but this is not enough for the purposes of
the government, and each year the sta
tions are all visited aud rigidly inspected
by the assistant inspectors of the depart
mentcompetent officers from the United
States revenue marine service. This in
spection is made as early in the winter
as practicable, to get the squads well or
ganized for the coming year.
The life-saving station at Point Judith,
R. I., is a fuir sample of those to be
found all along the coast. A two-story
frame house, sealed without and within,
small, but substantial, with a tall flag
staff projectiug from its roof. On the
ground floor, with a huge door opening
on the sea front, is the boat-room, the
largest in the house. Back of this is
the living room for the crew, cloan, and
well warmed by a huge stove. Up stairs
are three sleeping rooms, each contain
ing several iron cots well supplied with
plenty of thick blankets. The crew
consists of a keeper and six snrfmen.
They are taught that their first duty is
to save lifi When they onn rescue
property from destruction, tiny arc to
do it, but nothing is to prevfiit them
from endeavoriug, first, to rescue every
soul in danger. For this purpose they
aro first instructed in tho method of
reviving apparently drowned persons.
Every station is provided with a case of
restoratives, containing two bottles of
brandy, two of sherry, a bottle of snuff,
one of ammonia, and a preparation of
iron to be used as a styptio on woauds.
Also a box of prepared mustard plasters,
a roll cf adhesive plaster, a bundle of
flannel for rubbing, sponges, bandages,
and a number of probangs for cleaning
out the mouth and throat.
The equipments of each life-saving
station ore a large surf -boat, a life-car,
lines, and hawsers, a mortav for throw
ing a line over the vessel, and many
smaller implements to be used in ope
rating these principal ones. Iu ordinary
cases, when a vessel is discovered ashore,
the life-saving men go out to her in their
surl'-bont aud bring her passengers and
crew ashore. But there are many times
when it would be certain death to the
meu to vontnre out thiough the surf, no
matter how strong their boat. Then the
life-ear is brought into service. The mor
tar is brought out, a slender but exceed
ingly strong Italian hemp line is attached
to it, and the shot is fired so as to drop
tho line, if possible, immediately over
the vessel's deck. The first time that
the mortar and ball were ever used in the
United States Life-saving service, the
first shot fell short. A second shot was
fired, and the ball just cleared the ves
sel's rail and wont through her deck.
The line was caught, and more than 200
lives were saved. The crew of the vessel,
after the shot is fired, draw iu the small
line and find a hawser attached to it,
with directions painted on a board, iu
English and French, how to make the
hawser fast to the mast, and rig the
tackle. A smaller line also goes out
with the hawser, by which the life-car is
drawn back and forth between the ship
aud the shore, saving six lives, at every
trip. The life-car is nearly air-tight,
and is built in the form of a small cov
ered boat, so that should it, by any acci
dent, break from the hawser, its passen
gers would still be safe. Sometimes it
is not necessary to nse the life-car, and
then an implement known as the
breeches buoy " is sent out. This is
something like a pair of short, wide.
rubber pantaloons, with a seat or ledge
for the occupant to sit on. A cork buoy
around the band prevents it from sink'
ing, and tho persons on the vessel can
soon be drawn ashore. Each man, upon
going into the surf, whether for business
or practice, is required to wear a large
but very convenient cork jacket, with
which it is impossible for him to sink.
The stations are also furnished with sev
eral of the Merriman life-saving suits,
with which a man can float upon the
water for hours without being drowned
or even chilled or wet.
The inside and every-day work of a
life-saviug station is a well-arranged
piece of machinery. By day and by
night patrols ore kept walking up and
down the beach, each provided with a
Coston light and a lantern. Where no
bays or inlets prevent, the patrolman
from one station meets the patrolman
from the next, so that almost perfect
communication is maintained between
them. In the house, one man scrubs
the floor, another makes the beds, a
third takes care of the lanterns, and in
the stations where the men do their own
housekeeping, others take turns at cook
ing and baking. New York 2,imes.
A Runaway Boy Invited Home.
The Logansport (Ind.) Pharos con
tains the following : On the 11th of
last August Edwin Bock Taber, a lad
fourteen years of age, five feet high,
square build, large blue eyes, freckled
face, uneven teeth, and of polite and
manly bearing, left his father s home in
this city. He was afterward seen in
Lafayette, Ind., but before his father
could reach there he had taken his de
parture. Paul Taber, Esq., the father
of the boy, is a worthy and highly re
spectable citizen of this city. While he
and his excellent wife were mourning
over the boy who had causelessly strayed
from his comfortable home, a still great
er affliction was visited upon them. In
one week four of their remaining chil
dren died of diphtheria, three of whom
were buried in one day. It is believed
that if the affliction that has fallen upon
his fond parents w as known to the absent
Eddy, he would return at once to his
home.
A Charleston (S. G.) paper speaks of
a sale of farm lands in that vicinity, only
two miles from the Northeast railroad
aud Webdin river, and of excellent soil.
Six hundred and twenty-eight acres were
sold for $205, eight hundred acres for
$220, one hundred acres for $38, all half
cash, aud the rest in one year.

Deko's Eventful Life.
A recent number of the Detroit Free
Press tells the following story of a bravo
Newfoundland dog : The propeller
Maine of the Northern Transit company
called at this port Friday, bound down
on her way from Chicago to Ogdens
burg, and among the through passen
gers was Mrs. W. J. Roilly and Hetty,
her seven-year-old daughter, who were
going to their home in Albany, N. Y.
While the boat was moored to the
Northern Transit company's wharf at the
foot of Third street, the little girl en-
Saged in a pi ays pell with Deko, a large
ewfonndland dog, who is a fixture at
the wharf, and as well known in the
vicinity as nny of the manv boats which
call there. They were having a glorious
time, when the girl ran along the wharf
toward the stern of the boat, and with
her head partly turned to look at the dog,
she ran headlong off the wharf into the
water. Deko stopped an instant, as
though shocked, then sprang into the
water near to where the girl was floating,
supported by her dress and cloak, and
about ten feet from the wharf. Taking
one of her shoulders in his huge mouth,
the noble dog supported her until a
small boat put out and she was rescued
from her perilous position.
Deko thus added another event to an
already eventful life, he being a most
remarkable dog. Marvelous stories are
told of his sagacity. Two years ngo he
was an inmate (a sort of night watch) in
the Northfield (Minn.) bank, and was on
duty the night the notorious Younger
brothers robbed that institution. He
had a fight with Charles Younger at the
time, and to this day carries a broken
tail caused by a bullet from Younger's
revolver. Since his residence in Detroit
Deko has learned the souud of various
propeller whistles, and instantly when a
Northern Transit boat signals the dog
jumps up, and, if in tho office, barks
furiously to be let out. If the boat
arrives late at night, when the clerks
have all gone home, Deko starts for the
Case House, where one of the clerks
boards, and before the boat touches the
wharf, has some one who can talk on
hand to receive the captain. As one of
the captains says, "If Deko could only
talk, he could run the office at night
without help." As soon as the boBt is
made fast to the wharf, Deko steers for
the door of the cook-room, aud will not
leave until he receives a meal, and after
eating he stands guard at the gangway
until all freight is removed and the order
given to haul in. Then he jumps ashore
to wait for the next craft.
Passion fur Wealth In California.
We find this in a San Francisco letter :
Meu here only think of making a round
million of dollars. This is their great
aspiration. Whenever you se a knot
of business men and hear them talk
about money matters, their talk rwns in
hundreds of thousands of dollars and
millions. Some business transaction,
some scheme they have in view, is going
to prove to them a bonanza to pour out
all the treasure they want. The women
here exhibit the same passion for wealth.
They have a terrible longing for fash
ionable life. They think of ease and
luxury, and would make life a complete
holiday. Dresses and diamonds, the
opera and theatre, a never-ending round
of social gayety and frivolity constitutes
the height of female ambition here. I
was dining with a friend at tne urand
Hotel, and opposite us sat three young
ladies engaged in an animated conversa
tion. ' When I marry," said one, " I
shall marry a millionaire." "Aud I,
too, " rejoined another. ' Nothing short
of a man with plenty of coin for us to
fool away. That's what we 'Frisco girls
want. " I don't wonder at these longings
for wealth. There is everything to
prompt them. There is no city iu tho
world that cau show such an array of
millionaires in proportion to the popu
lation as San Francisco. There ore over
forty men here whose fortunes exceed
four millions of dollars each. There are
as many more whose wealth is from one
to three millions each. None of these
fortunes were inherited, but were ac
quired by business and speculative
operations, and all within a period of
twenty-five years. None of the million
aires here have passed the prime of life,
and they are all just as eager in their
pursuit for riches as those who enjoy no
reputation for opulence. The passion
for great wealth here is unprecedented,
It is the end and aim of both sexes, and
all they desire to attain.
A You n Girl Shot Dead,
There was an accidental shooting case
under unusual circumstances in Phila
delphia recently. Lewis Myers, a bar
ber, had been paying attentions to Pau
liue Streicher, aged fifteen, who lived
with her aunt. But she had forbidden
him the house because he always came
with a loaded revolver. However, he
came again, drunk, with Henry Russell,
a glass-blower, aged nineteen. She was
out and they sent for her. On her arri
val Myers took out the revolver again,
but Russell, who was a stranger at the
house, seized it and took it away from
hiin. Russell was seated at a table by
the side of the girl trying to remove the
cartridges, when the pistol went off, the
ball passing through the girl's heart,
and she fell dead. She was the oldest
of eleven children and her father lived
in Pittsburg.
Bob Ingersoll once gave an ingenious
explanation, at a Parisian dinner party,
of the American practice of carrying
weapons. A French guest, turning to
Ingersoll, exclaimed : "Will the colonel
explain this matter? Why, Messieurs,
I can travel all over France armed with
only a bodkin. " The colonel rose to his
feet, and replied : "The explanation is
this : A Frenchman's rights are so few
in namber and so insignificant in char
acter that they can be enforced with a
bodkin, or, for that matter, with a tooth
piok ; but in America a citizen's rights
are so numerous and important that he
needs a whole arsenal to defend them.
Hence the practice of carrying weapons
in America"

An Austrian statesman in conversing
with an Enirlish centleman. said, rather
contemptuously, or at any rat.i with an
air of superiority : " Why is it that the
English diplomatists and pnbiioists
speak French so much worse than any
of the Continental diplomatists ?" The
Englishman replied : " You forget
that thev have not enioved the advan
tage of having their capital occupied by
the French army."
