should lie carefully sought and faith
fully pursued in all the great con-
Germs that especially affect public
veal or woe. 4 late number of the
!Sc.ut,nc .America" very aptly dis
courses upon this subject as follows:
{" All are agreed that some education
is necessary; but what? The great
proportion of those having the direc-
ton of our educational system and
facilities in charge, still cling to
system which was established long
before the first mechanical operation
came into existence; before the pre-
sent system of mans relation to man.
socially, industrially, politically, or
commercially was heard Of, and not
withstanding the revolutions and ad-
vancement in all other things, there
is determined resistance to any at
tempt at revolution in what shall be
considered education. There is an
effort to establish compulsory educa-
ton; but what is the child to be
taught? As if in league with the
false theories'of the rights of labor,
these efforts take the apprentices
from the shops, force them away from
where they would learn something,
and confne them inside school
house to learn-what? Certainly
nothing of the materials or tools
or pursuits by which they are to
obtain their livelihood" This sounds
philosophical and practicable and
school officials might we'll ponder
the teachings it inculcates.
We believe the time is coming
when a boy will be taught useful
trade in school, as he is at present
taught grammar and mathematics.
A great, good and wise man was
once asked in what branches children
should be principally taught and
drilled. He replied: "In those
things which will best serve them
after they have come to the years Of
discretion" Here, then, is the truth
in o nutshell.

We have been shown Mr.. Horizons
recently patented device for connect
ing water-pipe, and must admit that
its simplicity would recommend it,
aside from the important considera-
tons of greater durability and the ad-
ditional strength of the pipe, which
is only equal to that of the weakest
part. Connection is made by pass
ing the ends, which have been cut
with shoulder, into band made of
mallab!e iron, allowing small space
to remain between the ends, from
which the pressure will force water
longitudinally into and through the
pores of the wood, thus expelling the
sap and preserving it from decay. 1t
appears to US that the question Of du-
rability IS determined in this device,
and the ssphaltam covered pipes will
last as long IS that material forms an
impervious coating.

their own use as we'll as to supply q
want long felt for suitable place for
dramatic representations. The Tbes-
plan Association have q similar OBJ
ject in view, in adding to the scene
ry and appointments of Columbia
Hall. We think the efforts of both
organizations could be united, and
the object attained in much short.
err time. Our plan would be to re-
model the interior of Columbia Hall.
The large attic has never been of
any practical use, and by q moder-
ate outlay the ceiling of the main
hall could be removed and replaced
with In arched dome extending to
the rafters. This would give space
for gallery, and pit with raised
seats, still leaving ample room for
balls and parties in the space be-
tween the stationary platform and
the stage. Tue auditorium could be
remodeled so as to afford several pro-
scenium boxes, and this would con-
vert the hall into a neat little the
atre, at an expenditure not to exceed,
say, $500. We submit tho sug-
gestion as a practical mode OF a real
ization of the object contemplated.

The Wastes of Parasites.

In his lecture on the "Wastes and
Burdens of Society,"" recently deliv-
cred in this city by the Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher, the following para
graph occurred. The next waste
that I shall mention is the waste
which comes from parasites. I un-
derstand the parasite to be an ami
NAL which was organized to get its
living without working for it. There
is great abundance of them through
out nature. Men have their para
sites, and communities have whole
hordes of them, for l hold that, set
ting aside those who are reduced by
misfortune, all the men that live in a
community without returning an
equivalent to society for their livelI-
hood are parasites-every man that
lives on other peoples industry, on
other peoples economy, on other peo-
pies productiveness, is a parasite.
He sucks for living he don't work
for it. The whole criminal classes
are simply parasites; they produce
nothing and consume a great deal.
The whole class of vicious men, as
they are scattered broadcast over
the whole community, are parasites.
The do not add to the public wealth;
they draw it out, and live without
gaining living. The whole multi
tudinous mass of lazy men are para
sites. They earn nothing, produce
nothing, use up a good deal, and
they are, from top to bottom Of soci-
ETY., all criminals, and all vicious
men, and all lazy men-parasites on
society. 1t ought to make society
ashamed to see what vast hordes
there are PERMITTED to nibble, and
suck and consume, but do nothing
for a living. hold it to be duty
to comb out the parasites, and to
free the community from the waste
and destruction which they make
without any restoration or equiva-
lent return. Among the parasites
enumerated by Mr.. Beecher were the
gambling-house keeper, the keeper
Of lust houses and the saloon keeper,
and as a preacher of the gospel-his
business, as people will say to him
heheld it to be his duty, in addition
to his duty as citizen, to protest
against the abuses thus fastened up
on society.-Pac1fc RetraJ Press.

on account of the large bodies of water on

murderous freeze of 1885 did not kill down
the wild trees in this locality, as the large
