Study to Have Ideas.

A suggestive story is told of the late
Joseph Harrison, of Philadelphia, in
ventor of the sectional boiler for which
tine Academy of Art and Science
awarded him the Bumford medal, and
widely known as the partner of Winans
in Russian railway contracts. He was
climbing the Gemmi, in Switzerland,
accompanied by young man, and the
conversation fell on the younger's
chances of rising in the world should
he embrace the profession of mechani-
cal engineer. Mr.. Harrison favored
the idea, saying that this was the age
of invention and improvement, that
machinery was constantly being APP
piled to new uses, and that he who
would make it Il study and master it in
all its forms would never lack for re-
munerative employment. "But have
no skill in drawing" objected the
young man. Neither have l." said
Mr.. Harrison, ~ never had time to
learn. But have always found that if
/ had an idea 1 could express it on a
single with piece of chalk, and let a
draughtsman work it out handsomely
and according to rule. And I've gen
orally had ideas enough to keep three
or four draughtsmen busy. You can
always hire draughtsmen, but you can't
hire ideas. Study to have ideas, my
boy" 1t may be added that Mr.. Har-
rison's success was due not to scholar
ship advantages, but to native capacity
and personal effort.
1t is a significant circumstance, and
one that furnishes the basis for the
severest criticism of the current meth
DDS of academic instruction, that men,
who, like Mr.. Harrison, have attained
signal eminence for originality OF
thought have rarely been men of much
schooling.
While knowledge and skill are both
highly desirable. they are still of second
rank, and it is possible to acquire
them at too great cost. If man has
ideas-he can usually hire skill and buy
knowledge. They are essential ele.
ments of education. But they SHOULD
be gained by processes which make
them the tools, not the end of culture.
The man should be the master, not the
slave of his learning; and whether he
is the one or the other depends very
largely on the way his knowledge has
been gained. And it is better to be the
master of little knowledge, with CO.
pacity to use it creatively, than to be
the unproductive carrier of all the
learning in the libraries. Our young
readers whose scholastic advantages,
so.called, have been few, may we'll take
the lesson to heart. Study to have
ideas; life will give no end of oppor-
tunities for using them. - Scientific

PERFUMED GKAss.-Growing in the
meadows here and there in the marshes,
there is sweet hay that would star
tie a western bayfield,. The perfume
it exhales is very sweet and very last
ing. Little ornamental and work
buckets are woven from it, and it retains
its sweet perfume for years. You can
smell this sweet hay when you drive
past the meadows, and it is enough to
make you wish you were horse to be
fed on such ambrosial hay as this. It
is q perfume not altogether unlike. al
though much sweeter, than sweet clover,
but grows in much sweeter places.
Sweet clover grows more thickly in
Happy Hollow than any place know
Of but sweet hay grows in the pleasant
meadows on the sea- marshes and by the
tidal creeks and rivers. 1t mingles
with the homelile odor of the new
mown hay. While you smell it you can
hear the CHEEKY song of the mowers, and
now and then the clink of the scythe-
stone ringing pleasant accompaniment
to the song. There is smell of brine,
too, in the breeze that steals in from the
sea and scent of pine that it catches
from the hill.-RoAMING ROBERT, in
Nora Scotia.

Pins That Preserved u Mans Reason

Iu the show-window of one of the
leading jewelers. of Vienna is exposed
to view brooch, magniticently studded
with gems, in the middle of whose chas-
ing is inclosed the most singular of con-
ters-four common, old, bent and cor
roded pins. This brooch is the prop
erty of the Countess Lavetskofky. The
pins have history, of course. Several
years ago Count Robert Iavetskofky was
arrested at Warsaw for an alleged insult
to the Russian government. The real
author OF tho insult, which consisted
of some careless words spoken at So
cial gathering, was his wife. He &C
cepted the accusation, however, and
was sent to prison. In one of the light
less dungeons in which the Gar is so
fond of combining his Polish subjects,
the unfortunate martyr for his wife's
loose tongue spent six years. He had
only one amusement. After he had
been searched and thrown into cell he
had found in his coat four pins. These
he pulled out and threw on the floor |;
then in the darkness he hunted for
them. Having found them, perhaps
after hours and even days, he scattered
them again. And so the game went on
for six weary years. "But for them,"
he writes in his memoirs, Ct would
have gone mad. They provided me
with purpose. So long as had them
to search for l had something to do.
When the decree for my liberation rs
an exile was brought to me, the jailor
found me on my knees hunting for one
which had escaped me for two days.
They saved my wife's husband from
lunacy. My wife, therefore, could not
desire prouder ornament"

The confession of the secrets of the
ring of dealers in old books appears in
the Pail Mall Gazette. One of the con-
spirators turns States evidence and
says: A number of us crowd to an
auction-room where library is brought
to the hammer, and buy every article.
Here we all know one another, and
each of US bids for the rest. There is,
therefore, no advance on the first bid,
unless an outsider interferes, when we
soon run the price up beyond what he
cares to give. This trick, repeated as
often as may be necessary. disgusts the
outsiders and secures the whole stock
for ourselves at far less than its real
value" When the auction is over they
IS retire to neighboring tavern and
repeat it" among themselves. There
the volumes go at fair prices, which
allows the buyer forty per cent for
profit on his private business. "All
being sold, we cast up tie totals of the
two sales, subtract the smaller from the
greater and divide the remainder
equally among those present. We have
good many ways of enhancing the
| value OF our wares. Celebrities OF all
sorts, who are as serviceable to us in q
way about to be described as those
merely Literary, are dying off every
day, and their libraries disposed OF. In
| these cases we look up from our
stock all likely books, furnish thcm
with sham book-plates and autographs
and soon get rid Of them at fancy
prices. It is fact that after Lord
Macaulay's death thousands of volumes
which he never saw were sold in this
way as coming from his library.

CLOSING EXERCIsEs.-On Saturday
last the closing exercises Of Mrs. Virginia
G. Hamilton S music school took place at
Bethany church. Besides the scholars the
music was participated in by Capt, g. B.
Coiner, bass. from the Thinking Spring
church choir, and by Capt. Stebbins, the
organlst of the same choir. The exhibit
ton of the progress of the pupils in voca
music was most satisfactory, notwithstand-
ing the fact that the prevailing colds had
silenced some of the best voices of the
school. One of the pupils in the instru-
mental class, a little ten year old daughter
of Mr.. Luther Leonard, plays four part
harmony nicely and often officiates at the
church organ. The Accomplishments of the
occasion were admirably played by Capt
Stebbins and the appreciation of their ex-
cellt nee was evidenced by the presentation
to the player of a handsome bouquet by the
fair instructress of the class.
