Education.


Education is development Not
a one sided, restricted and partial
culture, but comprehensive, includ-
ing the moral aud physical, as well
as the intellectual nature. Hence,
the idea of exclusion Of the Bible
the text book of moral, and to no
small extent, of mental and physical
growth, is to the Christian simply
preposterous !
Greece, in its palmy period, was
highly intellectual. But this did
not secure It from decay-dilapida-
tion-death Our own is a period
of great intellectual attainment, and
yet, how great is the want Of conf
dence in our most acute preachers,
politicians, or ,oo,szd6s philanthro-
pists!
Trickery, demagoguism, disregard
of the rights, interests and happiness
Of the people (tO say nothing Of the
rights and obligations due to Deity
prevail to an alarming degree, in our
Courts of Justice, Legislatures, State
and National, in our political cam
paigns, and all these corruptions exist
and flourish in connection with de-
veloped intellect.
Doyou desire specifications ? You
have them in "Credit Mobilier" and
the SALARY Grab" in defalcations of
daily occurrence-in no decrease of
taxation, when at the same time the
value of our National currency has
advanced more than a hundred fold,
and in the same ratio, the real estate
and personal property debts except
ed) have refrigerated, SO that the
owners and dealers IN gOld, silver
aud currency have largely the advan-
tage of all other interests and Occu-
patiOns.
High time, most assuredly, that
this clustering bawble Of intellect
a'azitg apart from integrity or NOR
al worth, we're blown sky high, new
er to deceive with its isolated and
inflated worthlessness-yea, worse
than worthlessn, SIS, for it SIS skilled
to grace a devils purpose with an
angels face !" j. A. W.

A SHREwD CLERGYMAN-A popular
minister had Just finished an exhorta-
ton strongly recommending the support
of q meritoriOus institution. The con-
gregation was numerous, and the chapel
was crowded to excess. The discourse
being finished, the plate was about beng
handed round to the respective pews,
when the preacher made this short
address to the waiting congregation =
"From the sympathy 1 have witnessed
in your CoUntenances, and the strict
attention you have honored me with.
there is one thing that 1 am afraid of,
that some of you may be inclined to give
too much. Now, it is my duty to inform
you that Justice, though not so pleasant,
should always be a prior virtue to gen
erosity; therefore, as you will all be
Immediately waited upon in your re-
spective peWs, 1 wish to have it thorOugly
understood that no person shall think
Of putting anything into the plate who
cannot pay his debts" We need not
add that this produced a most overflow
ing collection.

The bowie-knife was favorite weapon
with the FlOridians Only "dead-game"
men could stand before this terrible
weapon. The usual method of fighting
with knives was to clasp the left hands
Of the cOmbatants together and put very
keen, broad knives in their hands the
seconds then stood within TSach of the
men, to interfere with a pistol ball if
either combatant violated the rules of
the fight. There were many affairs with
bOwie-knives in the ante-bellum days Of
Florida. One of the most noted, was q
meeting between Major jim Jones and
Colonel GrinRrd, a Frenchman. The
bowie in this case seems to have been a
compromise between the sword Of the
Frenchman and the pistol of the Flori-
dian. This duel was fought in 1852. 1t
was very bloody both men being gashed
fearfully, and Jones was finally cut into
slices across his breast and killed out
right. 1t is said that this duel was re-
markable for having been fought in
utter silence. Though the knives slipped
in and out of the bodies of each man
neither said a word. With their lips
Ulenched and their teeth set like a wise,
they fought in silence. Not a sound
came from the mouth of either. And
when at last Jones fell in death, Grinard
turned, and Wiping the blood from his
face spoke for the. first time, addressing
his second.

Tho French WorEmsa.

Did you ever watch a party Of French
WorkmenP The day begins for them
nOminally at o'clock, which is earlier
I must admit, says a Paris correspondent,
than my observation of them begins.
An early-rising friend describes them as
usually arriving on the scene from 6
o'clock to half-past. The first thing
they do is to sit down on some COnve-
nient stone OF bench, and have talk.
Pines come out, and are leisurely lighted,
and tobacco is a great promoter Of con-
YersatiOn. Presently arrives a cOmrade
with a newspaper, which he unfOlds and
reads aloud; the performance belJ z
much enlivened and prOtracted by con-
tinual comment and followed by gem
eral discussion by the company. All
this may last an hour, at the end OF
which coats are laid aside and the blouse
put on, and tools and a good stroke of
work is done till breakfast. 1t is the
late French breakfast, which isrespOnsi-
bic for a good part of their dawdling.
Breakfast is a solemnity with all classes,
with the laboring men hardly. less
than with his betters, if betters he have.
Perhaps he gees tea safe for it; perhaps
it comes out Of a handkerchief and Is
eaten on the thumb in either case the
ceremony is begun and carried on and
concluded with every circumstance Of
leisurely deliberatiOn. There is at least
Us much talk as eating, for the French
man is temperate in diet and drink, and
takes an hour to dispose of u meal which
an Englishman would dispatch in five
minutes, asking for more as soon as 1t
was deYOured Then another pipe
and more talk; then a stroll back tc
work; then discussion how it shOul1
be done, in which all the men employed
in the vicinity take part. You may see
a carpenter lay down-his plane to offer
his opinion to a mason about the foliage
he is carving on a capital, and so much
natural taste or instinct have the race
that the carpenters opinion will prob
ably be worth hearing. The mason will
probably requite the obligation by hints
to his friend the painter, and so on.
This is brotherly, and perhaps the wOrk
is well done at the end, but when it is a
question of speed, the Frenchman is all
aboard.

Why is it that Physiology is not
taught in our common schools p
New Vienna Register
Why, indeed? There can be but
one excuse, and that is, a want of
time. Our country teachers, with
their forty daily recitations, do not
like to take up a new branch, but
this might be made much better if
we had some one to enforce a course
of study, in the ungraded schools.
Take for instance, the subject Of
Geography. There is no doubt that
there are pupils in our schools who
have been studying that branch for
ten years, and that know no more
about it than if they had not seen a
Geography book until within the
last six mouths. Nothing could be
more foolish. There is a clear loss
cf five and ODe-half years of study,
for the study of Geography is a
very poor mental drill The same
might be said of History, (where it
is taught).
We would say, then, if you teach
History, stop at the end of three or
six months and take up Physiology,
or better still, take up Physiology
for three months and then History.
If you can do nothing more,
teachers, you can introduce short
talks on Physiology at the morning
exercises, and, if rightly managed,

I have lived 80 years, says q farmer
friend, and never yet sued q man, and
only once, and in this instance as trus-
tee of a society, have I been sued. Of
course I have had to lose some bills that

Late in the thirteenth century oil
painting originated In Italy and other
portions of Europe. The imperial coli
lection at Vienna contains the earliest
authentic painting, executed IN 1897.
Ultramarine, produced by grinding into
fine powder the beautiful mineral, lapis
lazuh, found in the mountainous pOr-
tiOns of northern Persia, came into use
in the eleventh century, and four OF
five hundred years later was introduced
into Europe. In 1928 ultramarine was
produced artifcially by synthetical pro-
cess in France, and as late as f847 sCld
for forty dollars per pound, but now,
such has been the advancement IN these
arts, it is bought for thirty cents per
pound. and used very extensively. -SOtu-
bic glass, siliCate Of soda, came into use
as a vehicle for paints IN 1912. AnalDe
cOlOrs, lakes Of a beautiful red, violet
and the other COlOrs Of the rainbow
were introduced in 1861 but they are
not permanent colOrs on exposure. In
1873 the manufacture Of German anaine
oils was commenced, a chemical com
pound, which promises 70 achieve
success.
Though little is known Of the actual
beginning of these industries, 10 is in
teresting to note their lines Of progress
from the center from which they IA
dated. In the south Of Asia, more par
ticularly IN India, the germs Of the
chemical arts had their origin. By many
channels to the east, they found their
way into China, and westward by several
channels to the southern ports Of the
Black Sea, and through the line Of the
Red Sea to Egypt. From Egypt, as an
independent center, they were carried
along the Mediterranean coast, the
Greeks and Venetians receiving their
information from this source, and in the
twelfth, thirteenth, and fourteenth cen
turies the Arab knowledge IN these arts
spread from Spain to France, and from
France to Bohemia, Germany and Eng
land, thence through the world, the
lines becoming too intricate to follow.

THE PYRAMIDs-The immense stones
used in the erection of the pyramids Of
Egypt were obtained from the quarries
in the Arabian hills, and were carried
over the river by bridge of boats. They
were then brought by means of a cause
way, which of itself took ten years to
construct, and which is said to have been
a fine work, with its polished stones and
figures Of animals engraved on them.
One hundred thousand men were en-
ployed at a time, and these were relieved
by the same number at the end of three
months. A long time was spent in lev
cling off the rock on which the edifice
stands, and twenty years for the erection
of the edifce itself The stones were
raised, step by step, by means of a ma
chine made of short pieces Of wood and,
last of all, commencing from the top, the
stones were cemented together by layers
of cement not thicker than a strip of
paper, the strength of which is proved
by the age Of these enormous materials.

OUR coUNTRYs NEED.

She needs not wealth-Its jeweled cr0wr
On her proud forehead shines,
For setting suns lock glIttering down
On her exhaustless mines,
And sturdy hands draw golden yield
From all her countless harvest fields.
A thousand iron 5teeds are hers,
More meet than hart or hind;
Their tramp be mountain echostirs,
Their breath g on the wind.
Laden with stores from Lah0r's hand,
And treasures from Pacihc's strand,

And commerce sends her vessels forth,
Ships winged by steam or sail.
And far o'er seas Of South and North,
Our nag floats on the gale.
Aye, shore and ocean loudly vaunt
That wealth is not cur country's want.
She needs not bsautyi lips and eyes
Unfold beneath her sky,
Might tempt saint OF Paradise
To one voluptuous sigh,
And high, white bosoms-pleasure rife-
Heave with Joy OF love and iife.
And nature far and wide has flung
Her beauty Ger the land,
And cliffs BY mighty woods o'erhung.
And rivers broad and grand,
And lone blue lakes and mountains bold

"A boy was recently sentenced to the
penitentiary in New Hampshire fol
stealing two postage stamps worth twelve
cents. That boy will soon learn better
than to commit so outrageous q crime,
and when he graduates from the State
prison he will lay his plans to rob some
bank of 100000 or so, and then make a
comfortable compromise with the direc-
tors for fifty per cent. of the amount.
Or, mayhap, he will start nice savings
bank with the modern improvements in
some confiding community like Chicago,
and at the proper time close up the
books with heavy liabilities and no
assets. In either of these cases the
New Hampshire boy will reap the re-
ward of enterprise, and retiring with an
abundant competency, live to a green
old age, the only blot on his reputation
being that miserably stupid and criminaI
act Of his youth when he stole twelve
