Some years ago we had In our en-

day, ran out Of the Office to buy .
drink OF whisky. Every time he went
out, the cashier was instructed to
drop ten cents into q drawer to our
credit. At the end Of seventeen
months, the man who had gone out
so often had drunk himself out Of .
good situation; and the drawer,
when opened. was found to contain

AInlless Education.

There Is great deal Of school and
college education that IS aimless, dispro
portionate and cumbersome. There are
too many mediocre professional men,
lawyers, doctors, ministers, school-teaeh-
ers, writers; too few skilled artisans,
farmers, gardeners, intelligent iaborers
technically educated for various spheres
that ara fundamental to well-ordered
society. Society is top-heavy, with too
little bottom Agriculture, the great
producing interest, out of which all
othef professions and employments must
live, is despisel. There is bad ten
dency to crowd the cities and larger,
towns, and BY jostling competition to-
join in mutual pull-down, and IN .
race in which everybody gets out Of
breath. Our boys and girls deem it the
right thing to live genteelly and. by
ones wits rather than ones hands.
There are altogether too many students
who drift into college aimlessly, because
they don't know what else to do, and
because their parents don't know what
else to have them do. With no earnest
or definite aims, they float along through
successive years of school and college,
and then what The learned profess
sions are overfull, they are educated be-
yond any drudgery of common business.
they cannot think Of soiling their hands
or their clothes; they are untitled to be-
come producers where production Is
available, in their own way, and every
body else's. An aimless and dispropor
tionate education has cost altogether
more than it ever 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 ipto the hard work
for the common and laborious pursuits
which ballast society. The great law
will assert itself, and all true education
must. lay its accounts with it, that by
the sweat of the brow we must eat our
bread. That is not good American edu-
cation which would spoil a farmers boy
for the old homestead or the farmers
girl for the housekeeping There is too
large a crowd of unfit female school
teachers. There are too many useless,
third-rate lawyers hankering after Office;
too many scribblers. There are too
many meat-men, milk-men, fsh-men,
dry-goods and groeery-men. The rush
is for the easiest employment that can
be set up without skilled labor, technical
education, or any apprenticeship of pa
tient industry, on borrowed capital, with
a bankrupt law for refuge. Meanwhile
there is a large range of handicrafts,
finer manufactures, decorative arts, de-
manding skillful labor, which our Amer
lean methods of education have hardly
thought of or laid any plans for. Hence
there are multitudes of our boys and
girls who are over-educated, In the sense
they are untitled by an aimless and
merely bookish education for any patient
and earnest lfe-work which viii utilize
them as producers, and develop their
individuality into the manly or womanly
consummation of astaunch character and
q robust and useful life.

The business of the supreme court, and of
the circuit courts in many of the circuits, has
increased to such an extent during the past
year that additional legislation is imperative
to relieve and prevent the delay of justice,
and the possible opposition to suitors which
is thus occasioned. The annual report of the
attorney general and the remedy suggested is
earnestly urged for congressional action. The
creation of additional circuit judges as pro-
posed would afford complete remedy and
would involve an expense at the present rate
of salaries of not more than 500, 600 year.

born in Malaga, Spain, in June, 176S,
died ON Wednesday morning in the
home of her daughter, Mrs. Misses, at
83 Middagh street, Brooklyn, aged l10
years, months and I6 days. She was
one of family of thirty chi ldren, and
she survived all the others, and all of
her own eleven children except her
daughters with whom she lived. She
was twice married, but both of her
husbands died SO long ago that the
daughter could not tell the dates She
kept tailor store in her native city
almost up to the time that she emigrated
to this country; which was fourteen
years ago. She was then ,96 years Of
age. She retained her faculties up to
within few weeks Of her death, and
had wonderful eyesight. Her daughter
says that when she was about 81 years
Of age her eyesight failed, and she be-
came almost wholly blind; but in short
time the blindness passed away, and
her eyes became bright and strong

conversed in Spanish altogether, and
when she spoke her eyes dillated, and
frightened as she become animated, so
that those who saw her were prone to
comment on her beautiful eyes.
At SO years of age she stood the
voyage to this country well, but for
some years she had been confined to her
room owing to a weakness of her
limbs. She had rare turns of childish
ness, and then she was accustomed to
speak of every one she met as having
worked for her in her tailor shop IN.

many years, and had not seen physi-

was a gradual suspension OF all the
