There is great mistake about whit is call

That man is educated who knows himself,

very learned men are the greatest fools in
the world: the reason is, they are not edu-

the end: lis value consists in giving the
means of acquiring the discipline necessa-
ny TO the mind. Some of the greatest men
The world has produced were not overs,ock-
ed with learning, but their actions proved
that they were thoroughly educated. Wash
ing on, franklin, and Sherman were of this
class. TO be educated, a man must learn
10 think, reason, compare and decide accu.
raloly. He may study metaphysics till he
is grey, and language ill he is walking

is an uneduca,cd man. There is no class

RESURRECTION OF THREE THou

SAND YEAR OLD PrA.-In the year
1888. Sir Gardner Wilkinson brought from
Egypt a vase of grea, antiquity, which had
been dug out Of a mummy pit. This vase
was presented 10 the British Museum, and
was opened in the presence of several an
tiquarans; but it contained only small
quantity of dust and few seeds, among
which were peas, veiches and wheat
Three of the peas, were presented TO Mr..
w Grims,one by Il. J. Pctligrew, who
kept the peas by him until 1914, when. af-
ter having purchased the Herbary at High
gate, he set thsm in a pot Of composite. -
The pea soon spraEg from lis three thou

into zeal green vegetable life, but yellow
as if it had been jaundiced with seased

doubt, from its being enclosed in a hot
frame. When il h d attained sufficient
height, it was carefully tran>planted into
the open garden; the stock thrived blossom
ed, and, in August last, Mr. Grimstone
harvested flty-fve seeds from its pods
These fltyfve seeds have been planted
this year, and all Of them have thrown up
their stems, their blossoms ard their pods,
and again give hope of an abundant in
crease. This pea has many recularlies,
one of which is, that the pod projects
through the blossom, leaving the latter be-

or rather carry off the blossom at the tip
of their pods. Mr.. Grimstone was offered
last year.twenty pounds for twenty oflhese

a rope because il is death TO Q man, like
a prison, because it makes man miser-
able-like wine because il makes us

because it rms away with one---like the
