The tirst is the fallacy. not so preva»
lent now as foriiiziily. that the multiph-
cation and perfection of machinery
works an injurv to labor. lt is well
known that this was one of the preju-
dices against which the earlier inventors
had to contend. and that the advocates
of labor once fancied that they were do-
ing that cause a service in breaking up
laborsaving machinery and mobbing
men who ventured to introduce it. This
prejudice is not so violent as formerly.
but it still exists among some people.
Its fallacy is refuted by the statistics.
which establish the fact that the factory
system has not only immensely increas-
ed the productive capacity of the. work~
man. but has added to his wages. and
with the advent of machinery have
come new products. a multiplication of
industries and new aVcnues of employ-
mom.
The second fallacy. and one that is a
common staple among shallow agitators.

the poor are constantly becoming poorer
and the rich richer. Nothing could be
more false. Not only do (‘01. “'right‘s

“'hat our pupils learn from books is of
least value in the work of life. Ti ous~
ands of good men and women have acted
noble parts and occupied high positions
without a knowledge of the technicalities
of special branches of school study.
Take for instance the subject of historv.
a knowledge of dates does not constitute
a good student. It is the spirit with
which he approaches the subject. and
the love he has for it, the ability to
discriminate good characters from the
bad. and to from comparisons of times

iatory study in many schools of this
city is catechilical. and wherein the
teacher requires the pupil’ to learn set
phrases. This is not history in its best
sense. nor in fact real history at all.

“The best method of teaching history
is that of commencing with a lower
grade by telling a story. so that the
child is in- love with history from the
beginning. the, stories being expanded
in succeeding grades, and the pupils‘
knowledge of a subject filled out and
completed. Such is the system practiced
in New Haven. in Yonkers and in some
of the but of the schools in Boston."

Ladies‘ C‘oriier.
ll isas yet too warm to speculate as
to what the cool days of early autumn
may give us. It scents btit a few days
aco that we so eagerly described the
many beautiful creations intended for
summer birds of fashion. Now the sea—
soii is waning: handsome toilets have
served their purpose. many are already
packed in the "ole clo‘s" trunk. the
beauty having gone with the freshness.
liarly autumn is the season when one
lingers most willingly iii the country; it
is also the best of all times of the year
for traveling with real enjoyment. For
the country. costumes are in no less a
recherche style than for the town. but
thev have about thcma certain air of
sim‘pilicity which makes them dill‘er
from dresses for the city. .\ lady of
taste always adapts the style of hertoilct
to her surroundings.
The style generally adopted for a
traveling costume is the dress with
round skirt of plain iiure. trimmed with
embroidery worked in silk. either over
the material itself or upon bands of
cashmere; the embroidery is generally
disposed into a plain tablier in front and
a few narrow tlounrces round the foot:
the tunic of bure either falls loose or is
looped up on one side. and lined with
colored silk. mostly red; the bodice is a
jacket in the garcon-dc cafe style. of
hure lined with silk. opening over a
gathered chemisette covered with em-
broitlcl‘y.
The most convenient of mantles for
protecting such toilets is the long
redingote 0f unbleached tussore lined
with poppy-red silk. or of sortie quieter
color. such as violet. mouse-gray. or
seal-brown. It is loose in front. gathered
at the neck and fastened at the waist
by allowing ribbon sash. It can also be
made of alpaca, which is likewise pretty
and not so expensive.
For the autumn tailor~cut costumes.
all of woolen material. are. however.
semewhat more elegant than they were
in the spring. The latest. models are of
cashmere. serge or light cloth. quite
plain, and in dark shades of color. the
skirt round and pleated with a very short
draped puff: but the tunic, which is a
mere tabiier of the same material, draped
a little on the left side. is trimmed with
a deep border in braid work over a netted
ground, embroidered with gold. and
with a few metallic heads; the short
bodice. with small basque. opens with
two revels over a vest. covered with
braid-work: this pattern is very simple,
but extremely elegant, and can be made
in any color.
Chenille and silk net-work are very
fashionable. and will soon take the
place of open~work materials in walking
creases.
Various new shapes of bodices are
being attempted, but none become
generally adopted. and success remains
with the bodice made with a small basque
curved in over the hips. with or without
a waistband.
