Editor Stor: Having read with interest during the past two or three years thé various com- plaints against our public school system, and seein, defensive respagse elicited thereby, I arrived as the conclusion that there was but one side to es question; that os dnprose ‘School teachers iy Komen sot une ae home study, thereby nightly imposin; burdens upon the parents; that they over- loaded the children in the school-room with impossible and incomprehensible tasks; that. Inst life here meant a great deal of salary for the stnaliest ro amount of labor. But since the advent of a public 001 teacher into the bosom of my family as a irder, | have been radually ‘as a Methodist exhorter would phrase it) “coming under conviction,” and may now candidly confess myself “converted” to a dif- ferent Way of thinklag. I am fully persuaded that of all pee overworked, underpaid, ubappreciated creatures knot the Washing. ton public school teacher heads the tist. Here are the facts which opened mine eyes: Monday, Noy. 2u1, Miss X.

The Committee on accounts reporicd without recommendation two bills of the Nobile School Furniture Co. ($934. and $59 and readin of Trustees Brooks and Lovejoy stating that certain articles of furniture did not come up to sample or were unsulte bie. Mr. Mathews, from the committee on the res- olution offered at the iast meeting requesting the Commissioners “to assume eutire charge of the expenses of repairs, and this board be re Meved of auditing the same,” submitted a report recommending that the resolution be not passed. In this report the laws fa relation to the board are quoted, and the comuiittee states abridged without a repeal of the } port was adopted. Mr. Lambert, of the second dt ston, made & report on the proposition of Mr. K. O. Holtz- mad, proposiag to lease certain property on ¢ street, between 3d and 4% streets, that they cannot recommend the leasing of the property, because the improvements are unsaitabie for School purposes; they favor tie adoption of such measures as Shall lead to the purchase of it, being fufluenced in making the recommen- dation by a consideration of the location, wht: 1s but inadequately supplied with school accom- modations, by aregard for the liberal proposition and the peculiarly favorable characier of the ' neighboriiood for the location of a school: adopted. “OLIVIA'S” GRIEVANCE. A corimunieation from Mrs. E. E. Briggs to the District Commissiouers and by them re- ferred vo the board was read.

Z What To Do With the Flats. Editor Star:—If you ere not aiready too mnuch worried with ‘‘all sorts of suggestions,” which have been made in relation to the best plan to dispose of the river flats,i will give youand your readersone more. ‘Previous to the Construction of the causeway approach to the Long bridge, some fitty years azo, there Were no tlats visible even at the lowest tldes, elther above or below the bridge. The c: struction of the causeway has produced aa eddy both above and below the bridge, and thus tne mud bas beea deposited there. Another bid efiect is that the water 1s mostly carried through the Virginia channel ‘unti! it strikes Glesborouga, when tt rebounds and forms a large eddy from the bridge down a3 far as the Four-Mile Run, tn which mud is de- Postted in large quantities, whitch in a few years will be as great a nuisance to the city aS the tas adjoining the bridge next to the city. My plan fs to remove tue satd causeway and construct a bridge on piles or piers as the other portions Of the bridge, and allow the current, to pass. Then open the channel on the District, side at the upper end and direct the current into it. The foree of the swift current and some assistance by dredging wouid in my opta- jon jn less than ten years obilterate the flats oa e de as well as on the Virgtala side and re- store the original currents of the river.

W. J. Walker and Rev. Mr. Gaskins, which are colored, seems to be misunderstovd, especially by the colored Baptists. Some of them regard this action as based on prejudice to the colored race, and do not bear in mfnd that the white church at Tennallytown was also re- fused admission. The facts are that the quali- fications for admission of churches in associa- Uons are “regularity In practice and purity of doctrine,” and in these cases the committee did pot deem there was suflictent evidence, and re- #erred the applications to a committee to report al the next session. —tAt the approaching session of the Balti- more annual conference of the M.

Under the old rule a minister could be stationed but two | years at one charge, but within the past few | years this rule has been changed so tnat it is possible for a minister to remain at one piace Ubree years. There are some ministers in the conference who regard a two years’ term as long enough. Rev. Dr, John Lanahan, who for the past Ubree years has been Mrs. Hayes’ pastor at the Fouudry, will be assigned another ap- ointment, ‘as also will Rev, W. 1. McKenney of Hamline, Wheeler, of Waugh, Chapel, their third year. Rev. W. G. Deale, of Wesley Chapel, being atwo-years man, will likely re- ceive a new appointment. It is uncertain what changes will be made among the others who have served two yea! Rev. J. L. Hayghe, at Union; Rev. G. h, at East Washing- ton; Rey. Mr. McLaren, at North Capitol; Dr. McKendree Retley, at Dunbarton street, George- town; Rev. Mr. liyde, at 12th street ¢ast, and Rev. J. W. Starr, at Gorsuch.

The Swaying motion is continued through th? eu- Ure figure, and the further the couple can Iran over aud the quicker they can gain their equi = the more expert and accomplished they | a The Sallle Waters tsa hop, skip, and jump step, with a fig attachment, dud aclog daace combtnation in tne heel tap. ‘It derives 1s name from a recent song called “The Babies in Our Block.” The expression of the music 1s in 2 4 lume, and itis very pretty with a waltz move. ment and a springing step, and Is slow or fast, ‘The song runs like this: Little,Sallie Waters ‘Sitting in the Sun, Crying and weeping Fora young man. Ob! rise, Bailie, rise, § ipe your eyes with your frock. ‘That's sung by all the babies ‘That are living in our block. The cradle 1s one figure of the raquet, the Swaying motion like the rocking of the cradie— and isas pretty and poetic asa picture. The Kuickerbocker is in 1-2-3-4 step from side to side, and is too tiresome to last long. Ahew quadrilie 1s called “Tue Poio,” and wiil be popular this winter. There ts more bal- ancing in quadrilles than has been the fashion of late years aud less stately walking about, after the style of the old minuets of Washing: ton’s day, but whether it {s an improvement or Bot would be hard to say. The practice which some young people seem to patronize of clasp- iug each other round the waist or shoulders with a vigorous , in which the hands look muscular and obtrusive, does not seem to de uite necessary, any more than it ls to ciutch the fabric of the dress as if holding on for dear life. It is noticeable among neophytes that the gentlemen are more embarrassed ‘than the ladies, and what they lose in seif-possesston they make up In vigor; but it Is the tnelezant dance:s who pound the hardest and are tired out the soonest. ‘The Rockaway 1s a long slide step heel and toe, the old polka step with variations and the conventional slide steps. The ripple calls for Spectal music, It is a very pretty dance, and less Uresome than any of the others; but tt Pa agraceiul, slender figure and flying ecb. The old polka has gone out, by name, at least; So has ihe redowa, and the mazarka, and ie, and the waltz, as it sed ¥ King step 13 much taster in the glide than formerly, Dancing, to be any- thing how, is fast and furious, and not the slow promenade it has been for some years. ‘The side motion is a decided innovation. Dan- cers do not hop up and down with the springy motion of the knee, as in the old waltzes, when petple went bobbing and courtesying about like Dutch dolls, and the gentleman heid his partner discreetly ata distance with his extended arm. Now he and his partner are one and indtvisibic as they whirl like teetotus | to the music, The prairie queen Is leftof the oid quad- rilles, and the lancers are a3 popular as ever, and so also is the german. It is the fashion now for influential ladies to get upa class of young people who are all acqualnted, and have (hem attend a dancing school under the name of “Mrs. 's class,” where they learn to dance the german. The great objection to teaching this elegant dance [s that onty persons known to each other can enjoy it. For the ben- efit of the non-daucing community we will give a brief description of some of the figures, tere being at least a thousand different ones. One of the prettiest 1s the Looking Glass. A lady Seats herself iu the dance, and her maid hands her a mirror {a which she sees, one by one, the faces of the gentlemen who come and lean over her chair—when she sees the rigut one she turns the glass down. He leads Ler out and danees with her, presenting her with a “favor.” Which may be a fan, boquet, or anything he has sclected-—candy or ornament. “Fatih, ¥ and Charity,” stars and pyramids are all beau- tifuland attractive tgures in this mediey of beauty and grace. It is not the young penple only who are pening te dance, but grandames and grand- sires, who like the amusement, and think 1t is Hot too late to learn. Occasionally some old widower, who is golng to marry a society miss, takes private lessons, but one turn st the raquet usually gives his rheumatic old limbs such a jolting that, with many an “ oh” and an “ah,” he 1s forced to acknowledge with Solo- mon that “there is a time to dance,” and also that he has outlived it. But for the supple limbed girls and boys who can spin round on their toes, laughing deflance in the face of time, that season seems a long way off. Their motto On with the dance, let Joy be unconfined. The Question of Underwear. (Boston Globed Tn caring for personal health much depends upon the care of the skin, and whetber its fanc- Uons are maintained, especially with reference rotection from expremes of heat and cold sudden changes of temperature, Our cioth- te should furnish this protection, and its chalet value in this regard depends upon its belng a bad or non-conductor of heat;in summer to prevent the absorption of heat from without, and in winter the escape of heat from within. ‘The material that carries on this process most Slowly is the One most efticactous for the pur- oses Of warmth. The comparative value of ferent stuffs in this respect is easliy demon- strated by experiinent. Woollen fabrics rank rst; cotton and silk next, and those of linen last. Garments that become moist by cutane- ous exhalations conduct away the heat from the body rapidly, and the effect {s soon followed by a feeling of chiiliness This is notably the case with Mnen goods when worn next to tke person, refreshing and delightfal, no doubt, In tropical climates, or in certain ex- ceptional conditions of the cuticle, bat leas agreeable than cotton, silk or woolien in cold or Changeable latitutdes likeour own. These latter absorb moisture less rapidly, and, be- cause of their comparative opsn texture cbrougty which vapors escape, are slow to re- tain the perspiration, aad thus cool the surface slowly. Because of the absorbing and diffusing of the perspiration there ts less danger from Sudden changes of temperature or reaction from violent exercises. Upon the texture as well as material depends the non-conducting quality of clothing. A loose, open texture, confining considerable air in tts tissue 1s warmer than a close woven one. For this reason, two thicknesses of any material are warmer than the same weight in one thickness. To meet all requirements the degree of coarseness or fine- ness of texture must be taken into account. rse garments pRoauce irritation, which some péisons cabot bear. There are those who geemingly cannot endure woolien of the finest quality, the skin {Is so sensitive. ‘These must employ something midway be tween woollen and nen, which mean3 cot- ton or silk—something warmer than linen and Jess irritating than woollen. Much of the manufactured under wear of the present day ig woven of a mixture of cotton aad wool, more agreeable to many persons than either would be alone. Other facts may be of service in reaching Conclusions on this subject. Asuccessful physician informed us that in tweatiug the bowel troubles of children he never used drugs, but instead quilted powdered Peru- vian bark between two thicknesses of flannel, placed it over the stomach and bowels, aad they got well, A remedy for seasickness we have known successfully applied is to wind a be ps! dad flannel several times about the and wear it during the voyage, or until no longer necessary. is a fact that shipwrecked sailors have prolonged their lives by keeping thelr woollen garments wet with salt water. ‘This result has been attributed to the absorp- {fon of salt and water through the pores of the skin, However that may be, there fs no doubt that Ec rente the escape of natural hbat and vitality, through the non-conducting proper- tes of woolen clothing, must have much to do with prolonging Ile under such exposares. In acting for children tt should be borne tn miad that thelr little bodies are much warmer natu- rally than are those of aduits. e2 Also, women are constituilonally warmer blocded than men, and coosequently do not re- quire the same amount of eluthing wuder the same exposure.

The property man of & theater has a responsible and arduous ition. Upon him depend many of, tne portant points in a play.

The property man is poe by the Stage Manager with a complete list of tne prop- erties needed for each scene, and It Is his dury to see that they are prepared and in their proper places before the curtain rises. Ju the earlier days of the drama it was tomary for the property man to make ail bis own proyerties. From the simple brouze ura to the massive ouken flre-place, everyting was slowly and laboriously wrought out by this being of inexhaustible Ingenuity. In the Shakespearean drama the property man still Aas plenty of this kind of work; for the helmets, Spears, silelds, and battle array of the motioy Toups of dumb warriors are all tue results or his toil. Inthe modern drama, hovvever, it bas been found easier and more effective to borrow Properties than to make them. ‘The ebony easels, the Turkish rugs, the rare engraving. the bric.a-brac and { objec! the parlors of the modern © stage enterp are readily borrowed — tr dealer, who lends ent, One of the lead- ing theaters In this city actually buys the ¢ gant turniture displayed on Its stage, sei after the run of the play has ceased for perhaps 3100 less than the original cost, Nevertheless there are many little things which the proper man fs still obliged to manufacture, Un which can be used at any time, bronze figure flower-pots, flowers, and rusts furnit usually made by this industrious wor All of the articles just mentioned, except flowers and rustic furniture are made’ from old scraps of wrapping paper. The maker obtains some corsmon clay, wets It, and, laying 1t on a broad, Smovih board, models it in the suape he wishes. Aroukd this model he builds a wooden box. ile then mnixes some plaster of Paris and water, tnaking the mixture pretty thick, aud stirring it rapidly to prevent ‘its hardening, It is poured over the clay mou'd, an al- lowed a hait hour to dry. The’ mouid 1s then scparated irom the pilaster and an urn ot the lutier material ts found completely formed and ready for the paper. Heavy paper, tree trom all glazing, is used. It is first torn int Small pieces and soaked thorongaly in clean water. The mould is then carefully greased with sweet ollor lard, and a wet coat of paper ts laid on, care being taken to see that it Mills up allthe nooks and crannies of the mould. Four additional coats ot the paper are then put on smoothly and evenly. Then comes a layer ofmusiin and glue, Three more coats of ae are added, and the article 1s allowed to dry about twelve hours. When it 1s perfectly tree from moisture, the {nner coats of paper are drawn out, leaving the muslin and the three outside layers of paper. Only half of a vase or urn is moulded at atime. When the two halves are ready, their edges are neatly trimmed and sewn together with strong twine. The twine is covered With a thin coat of paper, and the ura ig ready for coloring. It recetves first a coat of whitening, after which 1t 1s sand-papered. Then the final coat of color is put on, and what- ever ornaments are desi can be added. In this way a capital imitation of a blue and pe vase a bronze urn or tigure can be obtained. ‘he blue and gold vase is painted with the dis- temper color tised by scenic artists, acd giided; | a bronze vase receives a coat of bronze powder such as can be bought in any patut store. Silver and gold goblets are also easily counter- felted in this manver, though these things are sometimes turned out of wood. It takes four days to make a pairof urns {a this way, and requires great care. If the mould is not prop- erly greased, the urn will stick to it and tear when an attempt ts made to take it from the mould, Articles made in this way are very light, and can be kicked about, as they always aro, without breaking.

By pull- ing ont rope a see-saw motion is given to the box, and the snow sifts through the bottom. A cloth is spread upon the stage, and the snow, falling upon It, is carefully swept up with an economy that nature does not need, and used again the next night.
