Hartford Couraut. Oue wa'nufacturini: company has taken n ISO apprentices an a freshman class !? a four-year combined practical and theoretical course. Bach year a new ?Lshiuao class will be takeu on, aud in /our years it is expected that there vUl be at least 600 apprentices, The apprenticeship system li In charge of a supervisor of apprentices, who Is ?ls,) an experienced teacher, mechanic and a studont of the human phase of the problem. He has his head* Jmgrters In the room which has been Leclaliy equipped for the boys' use and serves as a classroom and as a lunch and reading room. Here the boys came for a certain period each week, during working hours, ,to receive Instruction and training to supplement | their shop experience. Much *>f this [instruction is necessarily technical and very much specialized, but at th6 same time an effort Is being made to give the boys u general understanding of the fundamental principles that under lie all the mechanical industries and thus make them more appreciative of their own branch and the more alert to Its possibilities. This room also serves as a social center for the boys lid every noon they gather to r$ad, play games and meet with one another^ Hie supervisor is also present and finds In this hour another avenue of approach into the boys' interests and friendships. Another hold has been got 00 ..th0 I boys through athletics. Teams have [been organized and gatqes played, choosing schools for opponents ad far as possible. Places upon the teams are depeudent upon shop and class records and there are nOy "athletic jscholarships." This all tends to-cre ate a spirit of loyalty, which Is as de sirable here as in any institution. The boys' shop experience is ob tained in the regular manufacturing departments of the plant, '^o inshre an all-around experience the boys are changed from one department to an other as their progess warrants. The minimum <tny in one department Is six months, and as the boy advances in his apprenticeship ills stay In a de partment I* usually lengthened, as he is then better able U> profit by the variety of u.u k that he may be "given. The course of study" Is divided Into four main parts, mathematics, draw ing. scictire and-theory of-shOP prac tice. The boys are taught to look Upon their apprenticeship* as a period of training and to be more interested in what they learn tlmn in what they earn. At the same time the. appren ticeship rates have i>een plarod suffi ciently high to make the boy Self-sup porting from the start. The rates for the four-year machinist apprentice ship are respectively 14, 16, 17 and 18 cents an hour and the rates for the other apprenticeships higher than that, running up to 27 cents an hour In the S*yeur- In every case a bonus of *100 is paid upon the successful com fektkm of the apprenticeship.

Only .through years of unremitting service [and martyrdom was Peter able to save .his name from going down In history simply as that of the one who denied his Master. Benedict Arnold's name suggests nothing hut a betrayer of his cottntry, yet his acts- of gallantry and heroism In Its defense might well serve na an inspiration to the youth and man tiood of the land. Marechal Bazalne, who faithfully served France for 40 years, participated In many battles and campaigns In Spain, Algeria, Italy, the Crlmeu and Mcxlco, Is solely remem bered by his capitulation at Met?, when three marshals, over 6.000 offl ' cera and 173,000 men became prisoner* ? of war.

STORY TOLD IN AN EPITAPH Farmer Gives In One Sentence Hla ? Opinion ae to What Caused Fatal I Automobile Accident. I An autoihobile accident resulted In t tlbe death of the driver and the Injury of two passengers. | The coroner summoned several wlt . nesses, among them a farmer living J near, the scene of the accident. There I was voluminous testimony regarding , the high speed at which the car trav | eled. Witnesses said, too, that the . road was In bad repnlr. The coroner ; Anally reached the farmer, who lived near the scene. "What would you say about this ac cident, Mr. Swlggert?" the coroner asked.

I have- Just read In this morning's paper the sad account of an tittempt at suicide, "says a writer In Farm and Fireside. The doctor^ says t"he man may live, and I hope so, for he is an i acquaintance of mine and he has a wife-and four children who n^ed him. Poor fellow, he Is Just In his prime only forty-two?when a man can do so I much with his life. ' The reason for the act was financial trouble, with pdor health as a con tributing cause, and that is why I want to *say a few word A on the subject of debt, which so often brings worry and finally Hi health and dcspwulency. The ' ordinary debt contracted for a useful ? or needful purpose Is looked upon 4n 1 the business world as an important fn ' strument of progress. And yet I know that even when the fundamentals of credit are explained to some people they can see only their personal side of the matter, which is a dread of get ting into debt if they are out of It, rind an oageVqes* U> get out lfthey are in i it.

Curious liberties have been taken by the scholars of one country with the history of another, the distortion being, of course, due In many Instances to "policy." A striking example is found In a Russian text-book edited by a great Russian scholar, Ilpvalskl: "Louis XVI was a food and peace fijl king. After a lob* and famous reign, in whic? he was mpst happy lp his choice of minister of finance, ne died quietly In Parts, beloved by a\l bis people. His death was caused by ? hemorrhage. -r^ - * ? 'V "The successor of Louis XVI was his sen. Louis XVII. During his relgi the brave, royal army, commanded by Gen. Napoleon Bonaparte, captured the largest part of the European con tinent for the French crown. But the faithless Napoleon showed tendencies toward misusing his power* and was suspected of harboring dishonest de signs against the legitimate ruler. With the help of his majesty the em peror and autocrat of all the Russians, his plans were frustrated, and he was deprived of all his possessions, hon- j ors and rights to a pension. He was then exiled to the Island of St. Helena, where he died." Chinese -industry Revived. Chinese manufacturers of vegetable dyes have been induced to revive the ( manufacture of that product which had been almost wholly suspended. Thq higher pAces being paid for these ; dy?&at present Is said to have made possible the organization of the busl- j ness on sounder economic principles, j Lnrge quantities *of the dyes have al ready been shipped to the United Kingdom, where they are said to be giving satisfaction. There Is prac tically no limit to the supply, pro vided the t>rlce paid 1s commensurate with the cost of production. In Japan, before the introduction of mineral dyes, there were probably mor^ dif ferent vegetable dyes Used than in any other part of the world. Few of the dyes, hdwever, were strictly fast, and the only-thoroughly dependable black was the one made In the Kyoto [district and used largely In dyeing the haori, the short, jacket-like gar ment worn by the Japanese men and women alike. The vegetable dyes Were, long ago supplanted by, mineral ones, but existing circumstances are said by American Industries-to be fordag a return tor the older 'dyes. World'. Greatest Liar.

The thought of dinner and evening brought a tlush of happiness, for he had kept his car seaward for four hun dred miles because Hetty-Pershing was at Oceuu Point with her family. And an invitation from Mrs. Pershing one day when summer outiugs were being discussed was not to be overlooked. 1? "You must come to Ocean Point when we are there, professor," she had Insisted. "The golf course there is per fect and the sailing is fine." "Yes, indeed. Feldtnan." agreed Tom Pershing, heartily, slapping the other ' Jovially on the back. | "Thank you!" he had smiled appre i datively., "You certainly offer Induce ments. And you, Miss Betty?

So the ferohlngs htf gone and the professor had followed. The professor changed his mind and ordered orangeade. After all, Alt Nu remberg wasn't Heidelberg and,*he was no longer a German student..
