J.MOST any lad, if he once attains |jp bottom rung of the ladder of elf _ irapyepnt, will find !>hitt mbitiou lias a place in hjs coniposiion. He will also discover that few ileasuros arc' more permanent or a.tisfactory than the acquisition of iropfel knowledge by a ■voluntary ffort, Pracfel knowledge, the application of modern invention and mproveinent to tho daily occupation, vill help him as a man and will ssist the community in which ho ives and labors, The opportunity or obtaining such knowledge, guided >y trained teachers, is becoming pore accessible every year iu this lolpny, aijd we have here in Master' on' in the S,<jlio#l of Design, ar institution which offers a helping land to .tho lad who would' fol.loy lie die|a{es,of tliat ambition tp.warcii jm' institutioi vliiclj will steady him oil the jfirs ung .of the ladder, jfc may bo safel' ajd ih4 in jdl mechanical'' trades n all those Wea in which sk'ijlei forkmen are valued, jbli.e jibjlity fi Iraw, .design,or model asubjecjiiso irimary importance to one whi vould rise abovo the more routim rorlimail.

strong testimony on this subject is given in. the Contemporary Review for May, where lioads. of large industries nil agree on the great value of technical training in conjunction with the workshop of the farnifor thoso who would seek to raise themselves above the level groove of the satisfied workman, The heads of these largo industries also point out that, in these days of advancement, more is needed than was taught by master to apprentice, and Jhat if the workman is satisfied it does not follow the employer will he, They speak of the few technical schools yet started in England as being the invaluable nurseries for their trusted and ..higher paid employees. In the case of one large firm, who had a training school of their own, they complain that if they sent such young men on business to the colonies these young men were apt to have too generous offers to stay, In all these schools drawing and designing are taught as the first mug of {he ladder. The altering and advancing condition of the colony requires that no lad or young man who hopes to fit in with his times should neglect his opportunities or bury his talent.

We believe it has been the practice in England in vending light, colored poisons such as arsenic to discolor them with soot or souieother harmless pigment so that careless people may not mistake them for ordinary house-' hold requisites which they frequently resemble. Were a similar course adopted in this Colony in dealing with poisons, tho fatal accident which happened to Mrs Tait tho other day could not possibly have occurred.

They were originally a commission from a fan maker, who gave the artist £i apiece for them, Not long afterwards ho sold the pair for £OO, and now they have found an eager purchaser at the price above named. Major Watkin's "position finder," by which the guns of a battery or ship of war are concentrated by a singlo expert upon a definite object with the touch of a button in his remoto place of observation, is making great progress, It will abolish much, if not all, of the interest in artillery practice The gunners will have only to load, and then take -thoir directions as to elevation and training from a dial. They will generally bo ignorant as to what'thoy aro firing at, and will probably have no knowledge whether oi' not their firing is effective.
