held in August, some excitement was created
by q gentleman stopping at the Arlington
Hotel accusing aservant-maid of stealing $3.50,
which upon going to bed, he said, he had placed

Win Education Yield Subsistence Z

An education, yes, but what sort of
an educationp A bricklayer's educa-
ton, an artisans, farmers, would in
deed help him to earn living. A
college education would give him q
social advantage, but it would not, in
itself, increase his chance of earning q
living; it would rather diminish it..
For, as was pointed out in an interest
ing paper lately published in this mag
azine, our colleges do not, like the
French and German universities, in
struct . young man in the bread-win-
ming pursuits; the American colleges
are, on the contrary, institutions for
general culture. I do not take up the
question here of the amount and value
Of the culture they supply. The point
for us to note is that the educated
young American who has not a special
education as q bread-winner is worse
of, as to his money prospects, than the
young American who has no college
education at all. Dig he cannot, and
to beg he is ashamed. Two of the pro-
LESSONS at least are fatally overcrowded.
The United States, with q population
not greatly larger than that of the
German Empire. graduates every year
five times as many physicians; for the
German Empire limits the number of
its doctors, and we do not limit that of
ours. Very many of our physicians not
only wait years for practice, but never
get into practice at all. 1t is much the
same with the profession of law. In
both professions there are prizes for .
few, and failures, more or less complete,
for the many. The engineering, min
ing and other scientific professions Of
fer q somewhat better chance, and pub
lie life. almost neglected as q profess
sion, will attract better class OF young
men from year to year. But upon none
of these, save in favored and exception
al cases, as where son succeeds to his
fathers practice, can q young man de-
pend for fortune, or even for immediate
support. They, too, offer certain So
cial dignity. But as . rule it is the Ia
borer, artisan, or tradesman that has
the better chance of supporting him
self; it is the educated man that has,
more frequently, to wait before he can
pay his way. II, therefore, we educate
our sons, it is all the better reason why
we should provide, not indeed for their
independence, but some aid during the
years which they are likely to spend in
waiting before they can achieve their
position.
1t is to be remembered, too, that
these years Of waiting may become.
with u,h aid. years of scholarly or sci
entific accomplishment, if not Of money
making; years of strengthened prepare
ton; years that might introduce and
brighten q career, instead OF wasted
years that cloud or spoil II. H. Coos,

Three Brave Boys,

ter, last summer, three boys, Fred H. Wight
man. Herbert H. Dean and Edward L. Lamb,
were fishing in a rOwbOat near the float of the
KnickerbOcker Yacht Club. As they saw the
burning steamer coming through the Gate,
they sprang to their oars, and rOwed pluckily
e, tho They rooohod the shore vi
Wards Island just as the steamer grounded,
and theirs was the second boat on the spot; the
brave boys succeeded in rescuing fourteen
persons, among whom was the Captain of the
steamer. The matter came to the attention
of the Irving Club, an association composed
of prominent residents of Harlem, and it was
unanimously voted to make public recogni
ton of the gallant conduct Of the boys by pre-
senting to them gold medals. The medals are
handsome pieces, made by Tiffany. On one
side is a representation of the boys in their
boat in the act of rescuing person. Around
this was the inscription: presented by the
Irving Club of New York City," The reverse
side bore the following: "For bravery dis

Crazy for Show.

A writer who evidently understands
things says: ''This world is crazy for
show This is q fact which strikes us
in Whatever circle we may mix. There
is not one person in . thousand who
dares fall back on nothing but his real,
simple self for power to get through
the world and extract enjoyment as he
goes along. There is no end to the
aping, the mimicry, the false airs, and
the superficial art. It requires rare
courage, we admit, to live up to ones
enlightened convictions. Unless you
consent to Join in the general cheat,
you are jostled out of reach. There is
no room for you among the great mob
of pretenders. If man dares to live
within his means, and is res0lute in his
purpose not to appear more than he
really is, let him be applauded."

Aquarium is hippopotamus, said to be
the largest yet imported. It measures
twelve feet from head to tail, and
weighs ton. Though larger have
been seen in this country, they have al
ways been very small when imported.
This one differs from those usually seen
at circuses in being somewhat lighter in
color. It came from the upper Nile,

quired in transporting the animal from
the wharf to the aquarium. The cage

moreand County. Daniel grew up and became
a miller. John learned the blacksmith's trade.
They never saw or heard of one another after
leaving their mother, and each supposed the
other was dead. Over fifty years ago John
Miller abandoned his trade and became
a toll-gate-keeper ON the Butler turnpike, in
Allegheny County. He holds the position
still. One day recently he went out of his
house to collect toll of an old gentleman who
was driving through the gate. A neighbor of
the toll-gate-keeper stood by. He made the
remark that the traveller and the keeper
looked enough alike to be twins. This brought
about inquiries on the part of the two old
men. The traveller proved to be Daniel Miller,
Johns twin brother. He had lived for years
in Bradford, but a few miles away from the
toll-gate, in another county. This was the first
meeting of the brothers since they were four
years Old-sixty years ago.

There are unmistakable indica-
tons that all the arts of skilled at
torneys are being brought to bear
upon the legislature for the commu'
tatiOn of Carl's sentence. 1t is to
be hoped members will ponder the
wise words of Governor Proctor
upon this subject, particularly these:
"This is not the proper tribunal to
try such cases. Any one who,
without any experience in the mat
ter, considers it, will be satisfied
that such questions should be tried
by a board accustomed to consider
and weigh legal evidence; by a
board small in number, and so
constituted that appeals to person
al sympathy Gn the one hand, or to
prejudice or popular clamor on the
other, can have little weight; and
You who were members of the last
legislature must agree with me that
experience strengthens this view.
