Almless Education and Easy Living.


There Is great deal Of school and
college education that Is almless, dis
proportionato aud cumbersome, There
are too many mediocre professional
men, lawyers, doctors, ministers
schoOl..cachers, writers too few skill
ed artisans, farmers, gardeners, intel
ligent lahorcrs technically educated
Tor various spheres that are iunda-
mental TO well.ordered society, So
cicty is top.hcavy, with too much top
aud too little bottom. Agriculture,
the great producing interest out Of
which all other professions and en-
vloyment must lived, is desplsed.
There is a bad tendency to crowd the
cities aud large towns, and by u jost-
ling compctitiontojo join in q mutual pull
down, and race in which every body
GETS out of breath. Our boys and
girls deem it the right thing to live
gcrteel and by ones wits. rather than
his hands. There are altoge,her'oo
many college students, who d'iit into
college aimless, because they don't
know what else to do, and because their
parents don't know what else TO have
them do. With nc earnest or definite
aim they float along through successive
wears of school and college, and then
what The learned professions are
oyer-tull, they are eudcated beyond
any drudgery of common business,
they cannot think Of soiling their
hands or their clothes. they are unit
ted to become producers where pro-
junction is available, in their own
way and in every body elses. An
aimless and disploportionate edu'a-
ton has cost altogether more than 1t
comes to.
There is too much high school dab
bling that is not thorough enough for
mental gymnastics, nor practical
enough for the utilitarian necessities
of those who must graduate into
the hard work of the common and
laborious pcrsuits which ballast society
The great law will assert itself, and
all true education must lay its account
with it, that by the sweat of the brow
we must earn our bread. That is not
rood American education which would
spoil farmers boy tor the old home
stead, or the farmers girl for house
keeping. There IL too large crowd OF
unfit female school-teachcrs. There
are too many unless thirdrate lawyers
hankering after office too many
goodish ministers, unskillfnl doctors,
Ignorant apothecaries too many
scribblers. There too many meatmen,
milkmen, fishmen, dry goods, grocery
men. The rush is for the easiest
employment that can be set up, with
out skilled labor, technical education,
or any other apprenticeship of patient
industry, on borrowed capital, with a
bankrupt law tor refuge. Meantime
there is large range of handicratts,
finer manufactures, decorative arts,
demanding skilltul Labor, which our
American methods Of education have
hardly thought of or laid any plan for.
Hence there are multitudes..ot our boys
and girls who are over.educated, in
the sense that they are untitled by an
aimlets and merely bookish education
for any patent and earnest lite-work
which will utilize them as producers,
and develop their individuality into
the manly or womanly consummation
of astaunch. h.character and robust and
useful ife.-Springfeld Republican.

The Edison Epidemic.

Some few years ago Western genius
invented a "cutc" arrangement by which
the person sitting in carriage could
stop runaway horse. 1t is simply a
sort of derrick over the horse, and as
soon as the animal makes an effort to
run away the driver operates pulley and
draws the horse off his feet Like new
paper in the country, it fills long-felt
want, but it was left to Norristown
man to make it perfect. The old ar
rangement was not a particle Of use
to man on the back of arunaway horse.
By simple attachment, perfected by
the giant intellect of one Of our citizens,
man riding on horseback is enabled to
boist his steed off his feet the moment he
evinces disposition to run away. There
is no knowing where the ingenuity of
man will stop in this second century of
our existence as a free aud independent
people. -NorristoU Herald.

Death by Hanging Painless.

All the evidence goes to show that
death by hanging is painless, and there
is positively no fact or well.founded
opinion to the contrary. If this be the
case, then, what is the explanation of
it? Simply this: That in every form of
strangulation the blood-vessels of the
neck are compressed, as well as the air
passages. A large part of the blood is
returned from the head by the external
jugular veins, which are very near the
surface, and in which the current can be
checked by slight pressure. Most of
the blood from the brain itself comes
back through the internal jugulars,
which lie near, but a little outside of,
the carotid arteries. The walls of veins
are lax and yielding, 30 as to be easily
comp ressed, while those of the arteries
are firm and elastic, and it requires con-
siderable force to approximate them.
Pressure, then, which is sufficient to
close the jugular veins only crowds the
carotids q little farther inward, and the
blood is still poured through them into
the brain, whence 1t cannot escape.
When this pumping process is going on
at the rate of seventy strokes minute,
it is easy to understand how the en-
gorgement of the vessels of the brain,
in very brief time, reaches degree
which causes insensibility. To explain
why this congestion causes unconscious.
ness would involve technical discus
sion which would here be out of place.
1t must suffice to say that it does; 80
that, as the cerebral congestion in q
hanged person brings on insensibility
within minute, while the physical
agony of suffocation does not begiu un-
til later, it follows that the victim
does not feel any of the pangs 81
asphyxia. He first becomes insensible,
with accompanying pleasur bile feelings,
from cerebral congestion, and then is
choked to death while unconscious. =

q Drinking Brandy in England.

/ took the train to Birmingham at
about A o'clock in the afternoon. My
carriage companion was beautiful
woman, and her beauty impressed me
the more because of its delicate char
acter, and because she was the first
really pretty woman of her class that /
had yet seen in England. She was just
tall enough to be noticeably so, and the
noble elegance of her figure could not
be concealed by her travelling dress.
This was long garment of soft texture
and light color, buttoned from the throat
to the lower hem with buttons of the
same tint as that Of the dress. Her hat,
or her bonnet, was also of the same ma
terial, and without ornament of any
kind. In her dainty ears were small
dull gold earrings, set with turquoises,
which were matched by the brooch
which confined the lace frill around her
lovely throat. Her eyes were blue, her
brow fair; her mouth had the child-like
sweetness which Muiillo gave to the lips
of his virgins; in expression her face was
cherubic. She apparently had no other
luggage than small Russia leather bag,
which she put into the rack above our
heads. We sat in silence, for there was
no occasion for my speaking to her,
and she looked mostly out OF the win
dow.
After we had passed one or two sta
tons she took down the little handbag,
opened it, took ont bottle and small
silver cup, and, turning herself some
what more to the window, poured some-
thing into the cup and drank it off at a
draught. i did not see what she drank,
but in an instant knew. The perfume
filled the whole carnage. 1t was brandy !;
and the overpowering odor with which /
was surrounded told me of the strength
of her draught as well as if / had mixed
her grog myself, or had joined her in a
sociable cup. At this ] was not 80 much
astonished as / should have been two or
three days before, for at the Birmingham
festival 1 Lad seen, during the interval
between the two parts of a morning per-
formance, rotations of the same kind by
ladies of whose responsibility there
could be no question. -Atlantic Month
