TECHNICAL EDUCATION.

La

Two or three generations ago, it was impossible for a boy of limited means to obtain

advanced technical education,

Even though he had especial abilities, the son of poor parents who

scientifically inclined, found the doors of specialized knowledge closed to him.

In America, to-day, however, the night schools are the lever arm which lifts a man from, the position to which he was born to whatever heights his ambition and native ability may raise him.

If we look back upon the history! of civilization, and search out the men whose gifts to science and engineering have brought us our present enjoyment of cùmforts and luxuries, we will find that many of theag men have struggled under great handicaps. Few of them possessed means, especially in the early stages of their careers, and if we should consider for a moment what would have happened if the poor ones among them had been' denied a chance to aequire technical training, would realize in- stantly that the effect upon our present national welfare would have. been disastrous.

LOOK TO THE BRUSHES.

It is surprising how long brushes will last, provided they are given a little care and attention. This, of course, does not apply to inferior brushes, which tend to wear out quickly, however carefully they are ased.

In the first place, never allow a household brush to stand on its bristles, as the weight of the handle causes them to become displaced. Another point worth remembering

is to see that a brush is used only

for the purpose for which it is in- tended,

Before using new brushes, do not forget to soak them in cold water for a few hours. This swells the bristles, and renders them less likely to fall out.

Oare in Washing.

The washing of brashes should be performed with care, since nothing! is more injurious to the bristles than lack of attention in this operation.

Make a lather of dissolved' soap and warm water, and add a little washing soda. Remove all fuff and dust from the bristles, and beat thein up and down in the prepared water antil quite clean,
