Training Hoys In Germany.
A writer, describing in a Philadelphia daily the methods of schools in
Germany, states that the manual training schools in Germany are especially
intended for the class o*f boys " who
idle "away their time before and after
school on the street. The regular ses-
aion closes at half past two" o'clock
in the afternoon, and after this' time,
the boys who are not properly and
healthfully employed must attend the'
industrial school for the rest of the
day. In summer time the boys, divided Into classes, each under the supervision of a teacher, are trained sys-
* temntlcally in all the branches of
gardening:. At other seasons of the
"- year the boys are engaged' at "various
light crafts in workrooms, such as the
making of baskets, brushes and
brooms, and plain carpentry, "*wher**i
the use of tools is taught; Typesetting
T and bookbinding are taugh'*. *to the ad-
yanced^and older'classes. iSach* boy
receives* a sidfall remuneration for'his
work when it is" faithfully" and-'-.obeSl-
ently performed. The money, however,
's nqt paid, to hiifi' 8'rgcqy, t)ut jf* pf
Into a saving bank for him, and from
time to time he receives his certificate
of deposit. The girls are taught knitting and all kinds of sewing in the
same systematic manner. Every lesson is made a class drill. The children
"work by dictation, all in the room doing the same work at the same time.—

Seven Tears In Bed.
"Will wonders ever -cease?" iuquife
the friends of Mrs. L. Pease, of Lawrence, Kan. They knew s*he*had been
unable to leave her bed in seven years
on account ot Uidnt-y and liver trouble,
nervous prostration and general debility; but, 'Three bottles of Electric
Bitters enabled me to walk," she
writt-s, "and in three months I fell
like a uew person." Women suffering
from Headache, Backache, Nervousness, Sleeplessness, Melarcholy, Fainting and Dizzy Spells will find it a
priceless blessing. ' T*w it. Satisfaction  is   guaranteed.      Weinmann    &

Another Open Letter.
Mr. Editor:-
My attention Was recently called to
an "Open Letter" by N. P. S. (I don't
know who that is, but wish he had
written a" letter that he was not
ashamed to sign his name to) in the
Saline Observer, and while as a rule
such articles are not worth noticing,
yet iu this case it may be well to call
the consideration of the reader to some
of thejneonsistent and paradoxical
statements ofsaid "Open Letter".
He calls attention to the W. C. T. TJ.
as ''That powerful organization for
temperance reform" then charges
them of being the cause of more drunkenness than any other cause known.
Is it not a little hard to understand
how any society can he a powerful
organization for temperance reform
and still he the cause of a large part of
the drunkenness of to-day?
Again he is very solicitious about
the permanency of the W. C. T. TJ. so
much so that he warns us not to get
too near the political interests that
dominate the Capital, lest we "should
be drawn into the whirlpool and swallowed. How very kind. Yet if
N. P. S. is an honest temperance work>
er, and has the good of "the cause at
heart, why should he wish for the continuance of an organization that makes
so many drunkards? The writer of the
"Open Letter" hopes that the Ladies
of tbe Saline organization will investigate bis charge of their being the
cause ot more drunkenness, etc. Now
my good friends, I fear your hope will
not be realized, for the W. C. T. TJ.
knows, and every sane person that
knows anything about our work, knows
l hat the charge is false, and if there is
any proving to be done, you will have
to go to work and firsl prove that your
charge is true, N. P. S. says: "We
want uo more Nineteenth Century
Temperance Societies." Well, the
W.'C. T. TJ. is a developed Twentieth
Temperance Society, standing on the
platform of "Total Abstinence for the
Individual and Prohibition for the
State and Nation." Has N. P. S. anything better to offer? He also wants
no more societies whose work for temperance is all on paper. Strange that
.when he wants to express his views,
and do what I suppose he calls temperance work he puts it all on paper.
Again, he wants more than a flood of
literature labor. So does the W, C,
T. TJ. We want good, strong, nrai^hj-
tory laws, with men in office vyhft w'U
enforce them—jat ie^t w& w^at the
laws, and \t men, w-\l' •"■at en'orce them,
why'the W. Q, *jv TJ. wUW tf we have
to report toi Mrs. Carrie Nation's
methods, which, ty the way, are quite
similar to those employed by our Forefathers, wheti they boarded "the Britisb
ships in Boston Earbor and threw overboard the cargo of tea. Nor are they
so much rtifljerent from, those used by
the Blessed Master when He went into
the Temple and with a scourge <B*,sV
out all them that sold a,a.(J bought In
the temple and AY*""?"-"*""""""" the tables of
moneycljqnge.--^ a^t\ th,e> seats, of them.
ihgfi so,l$ c".<*,Y-est a.("d snjd.v aa a reason,
for h's action j ''My house shall be
ca"le(i the bo.H§e of prayer* but ye have
made it a d«u of thieves." Now it la
written in the laws of Kansas that no
person shall manufacture or sell intoxicating liquors as a beverage (or words
lo that effect) and when men are vjor
lating that law, why should they nnV
be driven out of the bus\neas§ Mrs.
Nation simply used tt\e means at band.
God bless h,er\ And may her hatchet
continue to swing until there is not a
saloon left in Kansas.
The letter closes well, when N. P. S.
advises the "ladies" to "Give no more
time in upholding an institution that
has evidently had its day in doing" nut
is now in the bane's of political sharpers with an army of paid literary flatterers with false reporters at their
heels." However, I do not know to
what institution he refers, unless, perhaps he may mean the Republican
Party, for I am sure that it is np$ the
Woman's Christian Tempeiraftce "gnion
as we are not in the h$P,fl*i of political
sharpers, wo hflYft *".Q. """"iS literary
flatterers anc' qo, false, yspQuterg,
Now, N. *?•. S,.v spend no move of
your valqahle time "« writing articles
for the papers, but go to work and
organize just such a Temperance Society as you want, ani show to the world
what such an organization Ought to be,
and what it can do.
