The Crown Prince runs a lathe and turns out symmetrical and substan- tial chair legs. He adopted tha trade of his great-grandfather, wio was also a turner. Emperor Will- iam himself is a cabinet maker and his father was a bookbinder . s the German princes have to; arn trades, so the German prin- sses have to learn to cook, sew = and keep house. Not only is the! } example which the German imperial family sets to other German citi-| j zens destrable, but the result of learning a trade is most valuable to a 4 man, and learning how to keep house to a woman. | ips Nothing can take the place of manual dexterity. H ; Brains are good, but brains cannot be acquired. To pour book Ee ‘mowledge into a brain incapable of analyzing an’ digesting it does harm. That is the great fault of the New York public school system, that it does not teach thorou what all the pupils should lear and tries | " to teach partially subjects which many of them cannct mentally digest. Every boy should learn a trade. The richer his parents the more | ' mecessary it is for him to spend his impressionable years acquiring use- | _ ful knowledge and habits. Every girl, too, should learn a trade, one of | | the household trades. Better still, learn them all—cooking, washing, | | sewing and how to make the house clean and attractive. | It is human nature for all boys and girls to be learning something. Parents may be sure that if their children are not learning something useful they will be learning something worthless. If a boy’s growing mind is not applied to a trade his ingenuity and his desire to learn will go into other channels. If useful occupation is excluded harmful occu- pation will certainly take its place. Every trade is a good trade. Any trade is better than none. To tind room in the world’s field of development to-day a man must be able to do something useful. An inventor must know the pres- ent state of the trade before he cyn design labor saving machinery. The superintendent must know the best present way to do things before he can devise a better. The employer never knows what time a knowl- edge of the trade will not be greatly to his business advantage. There are too many professional men now, especially too many Jawyers and doctors. A bricklayer, carpenter or any skilled mechanic fs sure of a livelihood and makes more per day than the average lawyer or doctor. In the professions the prizes ere few and the failures are many. fin the trades the prizes are many ‘end the failures are only those who “will not learn and be industrious. School boys of the past gener- atton used to have to learn some wise sayings, among which was this: “Satan finds some mischief still for idle hands to do.” The best way to keep young men and young women out of mischief is to provide useful | and interesting occupation. : In The World Almanac. fo the EAltor of The Bvening World: ‘Where can I get a list of famous ac- esses’ nationalities, otc.? outer world big enough for gum-chew- ing without doing It at a fashionable theatre?

The Glittering Moment and After. INA VERRAULT, head of the once famous love syndie B cate in New York City wuich was engaged in fleecing men by promising to marry them, has just died in @ mining camp saloon in Nevada. She uied drunk, poor am@ friendlees, though while the ove syndicate was in succes ful operation she wore as fine gowns and jewels as there were in New York and lived in luxurtous surroundings, She was neither clever nor well educated, having atmply, the quality of shrewdness common to all those who prey, on the wealmesses of their fullows. Probably not a few young women who read of her aperae tfons when they were most successful envied fer the ease which her unscrupulousness won for her, anu perhaps wone dered if thetr own lives af decency and deprivation reallly, pata. Viewing the career of any woman of this character at its most glittering moment, the question 1s a natural one to any woman who lives her life for any other reason than to maintain her own respect. It is these glittering moments that are apt to flash their partictpants Into public view. And {t is unlikely that half the number of women who read of Bina Verrault's speo- tacular career in New York will ever learn of tte sordid end. Yet it 1s the usual end—not the inevitable end, as we have been taught, per- aps; for very exceptional genius, whether devoted to good or evil, is apt to be permanently triumphant. But considered apart from {ts moral aspect, the aver= age talents of the average woman are much better Invested in creating a @’ndi- cate of one man's affections (an exploiting those of a number. The latter course may present the smiling aspect of a get-rich-quickly prospectus, but Ike all stmilar echemes It pays one dividend out of the principal and then comes the smash! ‘This ts exactly BI xoca GReeee: what happened to Bina Verrault, who must have reallze@ before she died much more {t would have paia her to be the decent wife of the most down-and-out prospector at Tonopah than to have run the gamut of {lle gotten luxury that ended In a pauper's death in a saloon Not every woman ts capable of solving her own problems on thelr abstract. merits.
