BLACKSMITH SOHOOLBOYa
Xovel Educational Project Under
taken by a Factory Foreman.
New Yojjk Sun.
Hosier's noon J ay class, as it is called, has
been in operation for several years in the
blacksmith shop of Brewster & Co.'s carriage
factory, atr Broadway and Forty-seventh
street. The shop employs about 200 men and
twenty to twenty-five boys. Hr. Jlosier,
who is foreman of the smithing shop, devotee
the most of his noon hour to the education of
these boys, or such of them as are willing to
learn.
Mr. Hosier's idea comprises the preserva
tion, by exercise, of what education the boys
bad, as well as the development of it and its
application to the practical work of the boys'
lifetimes the art of . carriage building.
Merely by the use of the few minutes
snatched from the noon hour the practical
benefit to the boys is now plainly visible. Oa
Mondays and Tuesdays the boys study arith
metic. Examples are given on the black
board, and oral instruction, together with
book study. . On "Wednesdays they are given
technical journals on carriage building to
read. On Thursdays they read history and
ordinary school readers. On Fridays they
again read the technical journals, of which
there are half a dozen now printed, relating
to carriage building. Oa Saturdays the boys
study and practice free-hand drawing, copy
ing examples from the blackboard. Each boy
takes home one of the technical journals and
copies from it one page each week into a
book. These books aro compared, criticised,
and corrected by the teacher.
As fast as the boys progress they are ad
vanced to higher grades of drawing, all lead
ing to fit them to enter the carriage draught
ing school. In this way the boy3 become
familiar with the accurate forms of every
part oX a carriage. They also learn the pro
cesses of manufacturing the different parts,
including the painting and finishing, even to
the drawing of crests and armorial decora
tions. There is a chance to develop what
ever peculiar talent any boy may have. The
boys are taught simple book-keeping by being
required to keep their own accounts.
As a stimulus Brewster & Co. give rewards
to the most proficient. Attracted by the
novelty and practical common sense of the
thing, some of the contractors in the shops
have given suitable rewards, and a number
of pupils have been sent to the Thirty-fourth
street school. In connection with the noon
day school Mr. Mosier has established
savings bank, where the boys are encouraged
to save a little, and are taught the benefit of
putting by something for a rainy day. As
soon as a boy gets $4 saved Mr. Britton adds
a dollar, and that starts the young capitalist
with his bank account. Besides these ad
vantages are. schooling in parliamentary
usage and meetings at which the principles
of parliamentary procedure are taught. Gen
erally the boys take to the noonday school wich
alacrity. The oldest is only 17 years of age
and the youngest 13. They have no regu
larly appointed school-room, but congregate
at bell tap in the iron-room, where they sit on
the work benches, oa the iron, or stool3 or
boxes, or wherever they can sit, and pore
studiously o er their books or lessons until
the bell taps for them to return to forge and
anviL The school has attracted much atten
tion from those interested in educational ex
periments here and abroad.
Clara Morris Keynote of Hnr rp us.
Inter Ocean "Curbs-tone Crayons.'
"As long ago as 18G6 1 saw Clara Mor
ris, a plump young girl, taking the lead
in spectacles anil putting all the nerve
and nervous energy into the mastery
and management of details that she
now puts into emotional drama. She
was wondtriully ready in expedient in
word or act, and as a leader of skip
ping, scampering figures rode out of or
over confusion with the dash of a caval
ryman. She made things go by force
of peculiar genius, and she is simply
doing the same to-day.
"What I want to get at is that she
caught then this striking naturalness of
expression, and has retained it." "Uut
you haven't mado the thing clear,"
broke in a gentleman who had been
listening with some impatience. "I
heard Clara Morris when she struck
the keynote of her wonderful career.
She had familiarized herself with the
stage before this, but no opportunity
had occurred for any striking work.
"But one nig'ut when 'Capitola Black
was to be played a woman who was to
have taken a short but important part
failed to put in an appearance. Mr. 1.11s
ler, the manager, put his protege, Clara
Morris, in the part and came to V. W.
Beach and other newspaper men in
front to admit that he had ventured on
a risky experiment and to ask them to
make alio .vances. That veteran man
ager stood there with these critics when
tbe girl, dressed in white; came hesi
tatingly on to the stage. For one mo
ment there was suspense. Then the
girl raised her hand, spoke her one
speech with a naturalness so new, and
a power so fresh, and an intensity so in
keeping with the occasion that it is a
mild btat jment to say that the audience
was ttirilh-d.
"The speech was, in fact, a revelation
of rare power. And the newspaper
men then and there shook hands, say
ing to each other, 'We will live to see
that girl one of the greatest players of
our day.' As the years passed by these
men were thrown apart, but six or
seven years later they met in Chicago.
Nasby said to Beach, 'Do you remem
ber little Clara Morris 1 I have seen
her in "Alixe." She ia the most won
derful actres? living.' A nd the others
who had not seen her all hastened to
say, 'I told yoa so.' , Sie raises her
hand in J'The New Magdalen,' when
she speaks of Grace lioseberry dead
and living, just as she did eighteen or
twenty years ago, and she has only
finished the tone she caught at that
time."

San Francisco (CaL) Chronicle, April 20th.
Within the past two or three months

won oy jonn juartei. u. V. Jttobbins and u,
W. Bumm. And now comes the drawing
of the second capital prize of 825,000 of
which Isicor Isaacs, of Modesto, has been
awarded $5,000. Mr. Isaacs was in this
city the other day, and said In conversa
tion, that there was a peculiar circum
stance in relation to his securing the lucky
ticket.
"In the first place," said he, "I sent to
San Francisco for a ticket in the Louisiana
State lottery, inclosing SI. I received no
answer to my letter and so wrote again.
inquiring about it. The agent replied that
he had sent the ticket by mistake-to Isidor
Cohn, but that I might call at the postof-

for April 8th drawing the lucky one and
right glad I am that the mistake was
made, for it was only a little while before
I received a dispatch, stating that I had
won a $5,000 prize,"
"What were your sensations on receiv
ing the newsr
" v eu, i guess i ieit about as any poor
man does who suddenlv comes into dos
session of a good round sum of money like
that. I first turned hot and then cold, and
then came a sudden conviction that the dis-
natch was not authentic. So I telecrraDhed
to my brother who works in a clothing
store in ban i rancisco, to go to the agent
and see if I had really won the prize. He
did so, and on receiving word from him
that it was all right, I made a lively jump
for my gripsack, boarded the train, and,
on arriving in the city, made a bee-line
for the ac-ent s office after my So,000,
J. Boas cashed the check for the lucky
man, who left tne city for JUodesto in hieh
glee, after having feasted and wined him

Mr. Isaacs is a clothincr store keeper in
Modesto, and has seen some pretty hard
struggles to maintain himself and keep
up nis business, under heavy competition
there, but he is satisfied that, with the
present comfortable addition to his little
capital, he will be able to increase his
stock and trade and beceme a succesful
merchant in that thriving town.

"Do you know that there were negroes, and
I believe many white people in the south,
who did not believe that i ankees, as
the southerners called the Union soldiers dur
ing the war, were human beings men like
other men P said a southerner to a reporter
yesterday.
"Do you mean to say that ignorance pre
vailed to such an extent?" queried the re
porter.
"I most assuredly do. 1 was ascnooiooy

It was considered a penal offense in those
days to teach a negro to read. Yet they
would be compelled to take the rear seats
in a country church on. Sunday and hear the
Bible expounded, and were taught that hell
and damnation would be their portion unless
thev really believed every word in the Bible
words many of tht m could not spell, much
less understand. There was a large slave
holder near my youthful home, and he owned
about sixty negroes They were as ignorant,
for the most part, as hogs. Morality they
knew not tho meanmg of. Many of the

war, but happened to be on a furlough at my
country home, when Kilpatrick's cavalry
and Sherman's infantry pursued Johnson's
famished, half-naked troops west of Raleigh.
Every door was closed and every house
barred as the troops passed by. The rich
slave-owner had fled to the city, and by ac
cident I happened to be in his plantation
house with many whites and blacks, who
were trembling for their lives when the
last remnant of Wheeler's Confederate cav
alry were passing, closely pursued by Kil

starting to join Uarbef in London to
go to the Lena for the bodies of De

for his own use, and a bottle of whisky
for my old shipmate and friend, George

A BAZAAR IN INDIA;
Tbe Vaullnc iTery of tbe.Katlvea.
Pnblle Tolleta Skulls of the
Castes.
Belgravia.
The immense number of stalls for
sweetmeats is among the most striking
1 peculiarities of a native bazaar. The
consumption tnereoi must be tremen
dous, to say nothing of the quantity of
sugar-cane wnicn old and young seem
to munch wnenever they are not chew
ing betel. And yet the beauty of their
teeth is by no means in accordance
with our theories of the disadvantage
of such dainties. Every mouth alike
displays r "s of such dazzling ivory as
put most Europeans to shame the
latter too often reminding us of that
Northumbrian farmer who weut to
"candy Newcastle to invest in a set of
false teeth, and returned with a com
plete set of boxwood, which as he
justly remarked, were only half the
price, "and mair the color of the auld
anes." Perhaps respectful insolence
could hardly have devised a more cut
ting remark than that of a beaver, who,
when his master had thoroughly lost
his temper, observed with a low salaam,
and quite in accordance with his duty
as valet, that he thought master had
forgotten to brush his teeth that morn
ing!
As to the natives, thev are forever
brushing theirs, or rather polishing
them, with a soft, flat 6tick about the
width of your finger. As you pass
through a native town in the early
morning it seems as if the whole popu
lation had turned out of their houses to
perform this part of their toilet in
public, and such an amount of scraping
and polishing goes on that you marvel
how any enamel is left. Nor is this the
only part of the morning adornment
that occurs in public. The bath is
either at the river or the open tank, but
promiscuous washing goes on in the
street at all hours and seasons, as does
also the work of the barber, who reduces
the line, silky, black hair to a very
small top-knot. This is tbe only mo
ment when the lower caste Hindus are
ever seen bare-headed.
If, therefore, vou care to mark the
strange diversitv of cranial develop
ment between the elongated high skulk
of the upper castes and the low type
common to the serfs, or low castes (in
other words, the descendants of the
Aryans and those of the aboriginal
races of India), the barber's hour will
give you ample opportunity for study.
In short, but for this little celestial top
knot, you might imagine, as you glance
at a group of those shining skull',
that you had got into a colony of the
hairless men of Australia; that curious
tribe of aborigines known as the Bald
Men of the Flinders and Albert rivers,
who literally are destitute of any ves
tige of hair, and go through life from
their birth to their grave as bald as a
billiard ball. Certainly mother na
ture would nave saved tne Hindus a
great deal of trouble if she had created
them with the same deficiency. Next
comes the painting of those curious
lines and marks on the face denoting
caste and otherwise symbolical. Some
have three white lines, others perpen
dicular stripes ; a small horizontal line
on the foi-ehead denotes having bathed ;
in fact, being ready for society, other
marks show at whose shrine worship
has been offered ; the trident, for in
stance, denoting the worshipers of Sisa.
Sirs. John Jacob Astor.
New York Letter to Troy Times.
The illness of this much-esteemed
woman, thougn not ot a dangerous
character, is sufficient to awaken some
apprehensions in Fifth avenue circles.
lhe family occupies a spacious, but
plain-looking house, whose brick front
presents a marked contrast with the
marble palaces which abound in that
center of wealth and fashion. John
Jacob, however, is a plain man and had
sufficient independence to indicate this
by his style of building, lhe family
lives in handsome but not lavish style,
and there are probably fifty families in
the avenue that spend more monev
during the course of the year. The
only noticeable extravagance is Mrs.
Astor s diamonds, one has a passion
for precious stones, in which she has
invested to the extent of $250,000: but
they are good property, and can at any
time be turned into cash.
Mrs. Astor, whose maiden name was
Gibbs, was married under the very
shadow of death the origmal John
Jacob having passed away about the
time of his grandson's wedding. Mrs.
Astor has displayed a benevolent dis
position, her favorite charity being the
Children s Aid society, bhe has sent a
larger number of street children west
than any other of our philanthropists.
This, indeed, has been her favorite
charitv. Her son, Waldorf, is a clear
headed business man, and now holds
the important position of minister to
Kome. He is now very desirous to re
turn, since the feeble health of his
parents requires his presence. Some
years ago his father gave him a power
of attorney to control the immense es
tate, and this also makes his absence
objectionable. Hence his resignation
and reappearance in this city is a mat
ter of expectation.

"Pnn.ADEi.pni A, June 10th, 1884.
"Drs. Starkey & Palen, Dear Sirs:
In April, 1881, 1 consulted you in reference
to your Treatment in Inflammatory Rheu
matism. Eighteen years ago I discovered
rheumatism in the ends of my fingers: from
that it gradually spread all over my body,
settling in my f eet in 1870; and frem that
time to January, 18b0, 1 grew worse and
worse, suffering nearly all the time in
tense shooting pains, prostrating me often
for days, when the trouble settled in my
left arm.
"My arm lost all vitality, becoming as
cold as if encased in ice and hanging at
my side a heavy -weight. The muscles fell
away to the bone, and my shoulder wasted
till it became necessary to pad my dresses
to wear them. In addition to this trouble
my stomach was in a terrible condition,
having refused all kinds of food for
months, and I was starving on a low diet
under the advice of one of Philadelphia's
first Dhvsicians. After a careful examin
ation of my case, your Dr. Starkey said to
me, dortt think J can do anything for
you.' I had heard and read of the Oxygen
so long that I was anxious to try It if only
to get a little relief; so on April 8th, 1881,
I (began the Office Treatment, coming
every day for awhile and then three times
a week. The first night after inhaling the
Compound Oxygen I had the first night's
rest in months. This greatly relieved and
encouraged me. After Hsing the Treat
ment a month I noticed a slightly changed
feeling in my arm, but could, not move any
part of it. During the second month I
could notice a decided improvement in my
stomach and a little motion of the fingers.
I then had the misfortune to fall down a
flight of stairs, which threw me away back
and injured my arm seriously. I resumed
the Treatment as soon as I was able to
come to the office, and by August, not
withstanding the fall, I found, by the use
of the other arm, I could move the lame
one about an inch from the body and could
raise the shoulder slightly. In November
I could lift my arm a little and the spots
were not so painful. All this time my
stomach was, improving and my lung
trouble less troublesome. ByChristmasI
could eat al most evervthine placed before
me; I had little or no nausea, and seldom
vomited. My arm began to fill out and
the rheumatism, instead of being a per
manent pain, was now scattering and
only visited me occasionally and I realized
that I was much less a barometer, felt
like a new being. In February, 1SS2, 1 was
using my arm at light work and was able
to comb my hair, a thing I had not done
in a long time, could button my dresses to
the top and found it necessary to take out
the padding. In April, one year from the
time I began, my lungs had improved
wonderfully, mv stomach was well, and
my rheumatism back into my fingers,
where it started in 1364, eighteen years ago!

"For a score of years I suffered with
"what the doctors pronounced dilation
"and valvular disease of the heart, but
"now I am led to believe that the heart
"trouble was only secondary and a symp-
"tom of other complaints. Frequently I
"was threatened with death by suffoca
"tlon, my breath failing me entirely. I be
"came cold and numb, and was as near
"death as any living person ever has been.
"This was three years ago, and I have ever
"since enjoyed complete nealth wholly
"through the use of Warner's Saf Cure.

RESCUED FE0M DEATH.
William J. Coughlin, of Somerville, Mass.,
says: In the fall of 1876 I was taken with
bleeding of luxgs, followed by a severe
cough. I lost my appetite and flesh, and was
confined to my bed. In 1877 1 was admitted to
the Hospital. Tbe doctors said I had a hole in
my lung as big as a half dollar. At one time a
report went around that I was dead. I gave up
hope, but a friend told me of DR. WILLIAM
HALL'S BALSAM FOR THE LUNGS. I got
a bottle, when to my surprise, I commenced to
get well, and to-day I feel better than for
three years past. .

Tha experience in the treatmeat of Cancer with Swift's
Specific (S. B.S.) would seem to warrant us In saying that
it will cure this much dreaded scourge. Persons so
afflicted are invited to correspond with us.
I believe Swift's Specific baa saved my life. I bad vir
tually lost use of the upper part of my body aud my
arms from the poisonous eifects of a large cancer on my
neck, and from which I bad Buffered for twenty years.
8. 8. 8. has relieved me of all soreness, and the poison
is being forced out of my system. ' will soon be well.
W. K. Kobison, Iavisboro, Oa.
Two month ago my attention was called to tbe ease
of a woman afflicted with a cancer on her shoulder at
least five inches in circumference, angry, painful, aud
Siving the patient no rest day or night I r six months,
obtained a suodIv of Bwift's SDecific for ber. Uhe has
tiken 5 bottles and th nicer is entirely healed up, only
a very small scab remaining, and bcr health is better

I bave seen remarkable results from use of Swift's
8tecine on a cancer. A younr man here has bn
afflicted five years with the most angry-looking eating
cancer I ever saw, and was nearly dead. The first bot
tle made a wonderful change, and after five bottles were
taken, be is nearly or quite weU. It is truly wonderful.
