LET two young men of equal natural
ability be instructed for the same length
of time; one on the principle that knowl-
edge is the chief end of education, and
the other that the great end is to form
right habits by vigorous training, and

in the world. Though possessing less
information at first, you will soon see
the latter distancing the former i'll the
race of life.
THE king and queen Of the Sandwich

A VALUABLE bed of anthracite has just
been prospected and begun to be worked
at Ching-men Chow, near Ichang, on the
banks of the Yang-tze-kiang. The coal
district extends for seventy-five square
miles, and possesses ten beds of coal,
one of them (the Worzukow bed being
estimated to contain 100000 tons, and
being only 100 feet below the surface.
The coal il of excellent quality and par
ticularly suitable for smelling, and as the
province of Hupel, in which the basin is
situated, is known to possess some valu-
able iron ores, it is not improbable that

La GRANJA, the summer residence of
the Spanish kings, is the Guadarrama
mountains, $500 feet above the level Of
the sea, lao feet above Madrid, and
thirty-six feet higher than the top of
vesuvius. Philip V. built here palace
and laid out the gardens in imitation of
Versailles, employing his time from l7l9
TO 1746 with such disregard of the cost
that the gardens alone caused an outlay
of 45,0OO,0O0 of piastres tS45, ,000,0 ,000l.
In return for this enormous expense the
King had, as he was heard to say "his
quarter of an hours amusement" and
the satisfaction of boasting royal hab-
itation higher up in the air and nearer
heaven than any other sovereign in
Europe.
