Mrs. Ida Hood Clark, formerly of the Manual Training School of Brooklyn, and well known as a lecturer on education, has just received the appointment of vice president of the Eastern Manual Training Association. This association is conducted by George A. Robbins, president of the department of education of Chicago; Professor Upton of Buffalo, Professor Trybcrn. supervisor of manual training of Detroit; Professor Bryant of Newport, R.

and Professor Connelley of Allegheny. Professor Richards of Columbia University and other educators havo read papers' under the auspices of this active association. Mrs. Clark's place of vice president is noticeable from the fact that, the office was hitherto held by a man. It is regrettable that Brooklyn lost so nble a teacher, whose college training was supplemented by a course at tho Pratt Institute.

Go where you would you could hear nothing but the Flnrrlish tOIlgUO, no mailer in what form or in what dialect. Unlike New York or Paris or even Berlin there was onlv one language in palace cif ReiHish. There was ono one part of the vast, world center nui could hear a Babel of foreign and ti mvik rinwn in the never changing dock district of the Er.st End where the yellow skinned Chinaman mixes with the swarthy Llis(ar from Indian and the black deck hand from the Cape. Here, too, a dozen years aKO there was something of a Jewish quar tcr as there was five hundred years before. but it never seemed to grow beyond its original proportions and the British Jew began to surround himself with a metaphorical wall because he bad become so exclusive.

Suddenly, within the short space of half a dozen years, the barriers have been broken an 1 to day London is as cosmopolitan a town as any other on the face of the earth and, strangely enough, this of the ioteifiu element, has not i onfir.cd itself to the narrow limits of the ancient city, but has encroached upon the wholly English district of the metropolis in the neighborhood of Piccadilly Circus. That part, of London once known as the Seven Dials, where seven dingy street.s used to converge and where Rill Sikee: ruled supreme, has become 'he heme of thousands nf French and Belgian anil Dutch immigrants of both sc xes, most of them of doubtful antecedents. Refugees from Paris not political, but criminal swarm about on the pavements of Soho; dynamitards from Italy, Nihilists without end from Russia and Poland elbow each other in the thickly crowded courts leading from slref 't an0 thieves from Spain and Germany are to lie found at all hours of the day and night in tills now more than ever unsavory neighborhood. But they are not all criminals. There are many honest artisans and rcstauranteurs among this peculiar admixture of foreigners in this distinctly foreign quarter of London.

Twelve years ago a poor young Italian waiter sallied forth from the slums of Whitechnpel and openril an unpretentious Italian restaurant in the vicinity of Cambridge Circus, where now stands the Palace Theater. His place sonri beeame the resort of journalists tirtists and after them came the general public, who are always on the lookout for new senstt tions. The establishment prospered and soon another venturesome Itallaa opened another restaurant close by. He. loo.

was suerensful so that to day tjicre are dozens upon dozens of French and Italian table d'hote plan's where one can dine on the festive siiarhetti and the succulent Frrneh bean at two shillings a head, including wine, fiernia.n bie: halles, too, have reared their heads in the neighborhood, and lately a Spaniard has templed Pontine with a cabaret. All of them have been successful. Shoos of a dls i iha tlv Parisian flavor disnlai inn the i.i French nev. snnnrrs in lh ir' I ilelieafessen establishments are to ho seen on evi ry hand.

12 2 HE annual report of I the Smithsonian Institution, just published, contains an unusually large number of articles of popular interest, perhaps the most remarkable of which in some ways Is a vivid account of the looting of the Summer Palace, so called, of the Chinese Emperor, near Peking, on the occasion of the expedition undertaken against China by France and England in 18G0. The writer, Count D'Herisson, acted as secretary and interpreter to the French commander. General Montauban, and, in view of what has occurred within the last year, his narrative offers abundant confirmation of the time worn saying that history repeats itself. Curiously enough, however, no note has apparently been previously taken in this country of the fact that such a record existed. The Summer Palace had been abandoned by the Emperor, Hien Fong, on the approach of the allies, and measures were taken by Genera.1 Montauban and his English colleague, General Grant, to guard it against pillage.

To Count D'Herisson, as a Frenchman, It recalled in many respects the palace at Versailles, built by Louis XIV a resemblance which he explains by the influence of the Jesuits, who had maintained an almost semi sovereign state at Peking until the suppression of their order in 1773. For the splendor which he found within, the enthusiasm of Count D'Herisson can hardly find adequate words. "There," he says, speaking of one of the outer halls, "were gathered all the wealth in precious stones and fine fabrics presented by tributary princes, and all that tho kings and emperors of Europe had sent to Hien Fong and his all the bric a brac and curiosities, as well as all the goods which the simple minded merchant, wishing to obtain rights in a port, subtracted from his cargo to propitiate the sovereign. Everything was preserved with care and equally honored, from a cloth of gold ornamented with pearls, which had come, perhaps, from the Sublime Forte, up to a doll that cried 'papa' and which a Marseilles captain had taken from his little daughter at Christmas and carried to China to 'grease the palm of the chief This multitude of treasures had overflowed the private apartments of the sovereign and his wives and spread itself into these immense cathedral halls. The spectacle was at once extraordinary and dazzling dazzling from the richness of the articles, extraordlnar from their number and variety." But this magnificence was as nothing compared with the splendors of the throne room itself.

In a small oratory to the left of the throne, for example, the walls, the ceilings, the dressing tables, the chairs, the footstools, were all in gold, studded with gems. Rows of small gods in massy gold wera carved with such wonderful skill that their artistic value was far beyond their intrinsic worth. On supports of jade were two pagodas of enameled gold, "as largo as corn bins," with seven superposed roofs, from each of which pear shaped pearls hung like so many bells. In another oratory, resembling the interior of a monstrance, were gathered all the articles for the Emperor's daily use when occupying the throne room; his tea service, his cups, his pipes the bowls of which were gold or silver, and the long tubes enriched with coral, jade, rubies, sapphires and little tufts of many colored silk; his ceremonial chaplets of rows of pearls as large as nuts. Here also were his speaking trumpets of silver gilt which he used at times the better to impress his audience.

"I shall not attempt to portray," says Count D'Herisson, "the wonder and admiration of the 'barbarians' who penetrated into these precincts. Involuntarily we spoke in low tones, and began to walk on tiptoe on seeing before us such a profusion of riches for the possession of which mortals fight and die, which their owner had abandoned in his flight as Indifferently as a citizen closes the door of his house, leaving his mahogany bureau exposed to the chances ot war. All was so natural, so familiar, so commonplace to him, that he did not even try to save these treasures." In the rooms of the empress, the walls ot the closets of the secretaries were furnished from top to bottom with pigeonholes, in which, one above another, like files of lawyer's briefs, were red boxes of old lacquer of Peking, wonderfuly engraved in intaglio, containing ornaments, necklaces and bracelets In pearls, in jade, in precious stones, tiny rings for feminine fingers, and huge ones of jade for men when they drew the strings of their bows. Other boxes were crowded with artistic objects, with materials to be transformed Into jewels, with unique specimens of transparent jade, of rock crystal, of milky jade, of moss agates, of uncut diamonds, of precious stones still in their natural state. On opening any one of these boxes says Count D'Herisson.

it appeared to send out sparkles and sheaves of light. Beyond, great wardrobes of old lacquer set into the walls contained the garments of the empress, both those for daily use and for ceremonious occasions enough to dress from head to foot "10,000 princesses from the Arabian Nights." Everything was silk, satin, damask, fur, with embroideries sometimes as delicate as spiders' webs, sometimes as heavy as those on bishops' copes. But It is necessary to pass to the Count's story of the loot itself. It began, it appears, according to the most approved psychological formulae. The generals had given orders to remove the articles of value systematically, and the work had been begun.

Tho troops French, English, Arabs, Sikhs, Chinese coolies, cavalry, infantry and artillerythus had an opportunity to estimate the value of the treasure which the palace contained. And there was seme natural grumbling. Suddenly it was learned that a mob of Chinese pillagers had scaled a wall on the other side and must be turned out. There was an alarm of fire, causing the obvious thought. "The Chinese will cabbage everything," or, "The rascals are going to burn everything." The action followed the thought a mad indiscriminate scramble in which every man endeavored to seize what he could.

"What could the general or his officers do?" asks Count d'Herlsson. "Absolutely nothing. If they had tried to stem the torrent they would have been swept away by the rush; they would have compromised their influence and reputation and with It the future of the expedition. With us, as with the English, the generals had only one thing to do to shut their eyes. It was one of those psychological moments in military life when, as Count von Bismarck salu later, the artl ill SlPOLITi; NOT "FOREIGNERS come to such a pass that we are not looked upon tis foreigners at all.

I have recently hnd occasion to test this brotherly spirit to its fullest extent and can now safely state that it Is possible for a man, "in spite of all temptation to belong to another nation." to be an Ameri' an in every respect and still be an Englishman. I'aradox? Not at all. And I will tell you why. I am a ratepayer in the Borough of Ilat.tersea. During three months of the year my life is burdened with the appeals of election agents atld touts who ish to enlist my sympathies and Incidentally tr.

I invariably turn off these importunate gentlemen with the remark that I am not an Englishman, a. suranee is not at all credited by the Last yoar the election agents were so busy with my door bell that 1 found myself impelled to go to the Conservative headquarters to ask the chief electioneering agent to keep his minions away from my door knocker. "But, sir," lie retort' "your name is on the voters' list, aud so you must havo a vote to canvass." "True," I replied, "but I am a foreigner and am not entitled to a parliamentary vote, so that it is useless for you to worry me with your agents." "Oh. indeed." said the wise man.

"I did not know that. You do not. speak like a foreigner. Are you a No? Surely not Frenchman (here his face assumed that peculiar expression 01" Ill concealed contempt, which Englishmen invariably show at the mention of Frenchmen No? Then, sir, may I ask what you are?" I replied that I owed my allegiance to the Constitution of flic United Stti fes of America and thai I hnd no desire to change my nationality. "Ob," the agent, with a smile, "that's all right.

If you are only an American, you may vote with perfect safety. Americans are not foreigners!" And nothing in the world would convince this otherwise Intelligent Englishman that I bad no right lo the franchise. So they kept me on the voters' list and last week came the penalty. 1 was summnne'l to the Grand Jury to sit on a lot of alleged criminals who were to go before the General Sessions Court. I appealed by letter to t.iie clerk, pl.adlng my inability to act on account of my nationality and was told in reply that, as 1 was registered as a voter.

I would have to servo and that failure to comply with the order of the court would be regarded as contempt of that august Institution, to be visited by a line of immense proportions, rio 1 went and was mustered in with a panel of very uninteresting routed grocers and fishmongers, who seemed to feel their suddenly acquired importance. 1 again protested to the clerk and also to the judge on the bench, but both were deaf to my protests, but I ired 011 lii iii when it came to the oath, lor it requires obedience to the laws of "our sovereign lord. King Edward." lord," 1 cried, addressing the judge, "may it please your lordship, 1 most respectfully call your attention to the fact that I cannot take ibis oath for I cannot swear obedi ner to a King who is not my sovereign. I do not owe him allegiance." "Well, well." muttered the aged dispenser of Justice, "ibis is. indeed, an interesting situaiion.

I say it looked like an ant heap, crushed under one's foot, where the terrified workers fly in every direction, one with a grain of wheat, another with a bug, another with an egg.

There were troopers, their heads buried in the boxes of red lacquer belonging to the empress; others, half smothered in the folds of brocades and of pieces of silk; still Others, who had placed rubles, saphires, pearls, and rock crystals in their pockets, in their hats, ..1 1... tlmir i necks strings of great pearls. Others carried off clocks and dials in their arms. The sap pers of the engineers had brought their axes I and broke up the furniture to secure the precious stones with which they were en crusted. There was one smashing a lovely Louis XV clock to secure the face, on which ine uours were martveu will ures, which he mistook for diamonds.

Now and again the cry of 'fire' was heard. Everybody rushed out, letting everything fall, and extinguished the fire, which was already licking the precious wall, by heaping on it silks and damascenes and furs. It was like a dream of a hashhish eater." When the Count returned to camp after an agreeable adventure in rescuing twenty seven women of the Emperor's harem night was falling. The men came back loaded with booty, bearing the most heterogeneous collection of articles, from silver saucepans to astronomical telescopes and sextantsa prodigious mass of material which It would have been impossible to carry away. The English camp filled up in tho same way, but there everything was carried on in perfect order.

In the French camp the soldiers were masquerading. The artillery men arrived enveloped in the garments of the empress, their breasts decorated with the collars of mandarins. In the English camp, on the other hand, the articles had been placed in piles in each tent, and they had already begun to sell them at public auction. Count d'Herlsson noted one curious fact. "Nothing," he says, "tempts soldiers like clocks and other objects containing mechanism.

Now, the Chinese, like all oriental people, and like all people with whom machinery is still in a rudimentary stage, greatly admire mechanical articles, especially of the amusing kind. From time Immemorial our sovereigns and officers of customs, have turned this mania to good account, and have sent or taken to them all the curious inventions of opticians, of toy makers, and of manufacturers of automatons. It will never be known how many musical boxen, toy organs, clocks with complicated chimes, alarm clocks, rabbits with tambourines, panoramas, clocks turning windmills, crowing cocks, climbing monkeys, singing birds In brass cages standing on pedestals which are wound by turning a key, mechanical flute players, monkey violinists, trumpeters, players on the clarinet, and even whole orchest Decidedly 'Everybody says the baby Is Just "What nonsense.
