LONDON, Oct. 1.-The Times In Lead

Will be the object of the united cabinets
through their representatives at Constan-
tinopie to extract from the Porte, concession
granted by treaty of Berlin. Meanwhile
it is matter full of significance that the
present alliance Of the powers, so far from
losing strength though interpositien of OBJ
stscles imperfectly foreseen has probably
acquired new force from the trial.

The chasm of the Colorado river scores
with tortuous course through the entire
length Of the Colorado plateau. From
5000 to 5000 feet below the general level
of the plain the river wanders for hun
dreds of miles. For sixty-five miles it
runs through Marole canyon. The lime
stone walls, which are from 1000 to
45OO feet in altitude, are often polished
to high degree, and are Of many colors-
white, gray, pink and purple, with saffron
tints. At one point there is plain like
a marble pavement, polished and fretted
in strange devices, and embossed in q
thousand fantastic patterns.

her approach. When she came up to them
they both said: "You cookem supper for

style, and she hurried home, fearing they

necessary to invite them in the parlor
while the supper was being prepared.

5000 feet above the ground. A more

No man ever trod the top Of this dome
until last year. Former visitors gazed
in wonder at the spikes driven into the
rock by hardy spirits who had repeatedly
sndeavored to scale it. The shreds Of
rope dangling in the wind told the story
of their failure. Last year, however,
after thousands Of dollars had been ex.
pended, several persons found their way
to the top Of the dome, and this summer
two sheep were found browsing on the
hitherto inaccessible peak.

Few men can hear ofthe loss ofagal-

Life has been compared To the great

wreck Of q once noticeable ship that

well she served her builders. II Is
when we hear that some gallant
bark is missing, leaving no sign nor

speak her name.
There is nothing that viii touch

Il Is an ocean without . haTbOr OF

\ Liberal Education,

a purely business education is al.
ways a narrow education. 1t devel'
Opes a particular power and leaves
the others undeveloped. 1t tends tc
make lopsided men men of narrow
horizons men of limited abilities
that Is of abilities limited to single
sphere Of action. The boy who goes
into a store at fourteen to stay un-
til he is twenty-One may graduate
as q salesman, but he will learn
nothing else in his school but how
to sell goods and life may have
some other service for him, possibly
even a higher service. The boy who
graduates at college at twenty-one
will not know how to do any of q hun
dred things. In a community where
caste determines position, where the
son of a merchant is preordained to
be merchant, and the son of a
shopkeeper 70 be a shopkeeper, APP
prenticing Is very well. But in a
country where society is not only
fluid but boiling, where the bottom
is all the time going up to the top
and the top is all the time going
down to the bottom, every father
should be ambitious to give his son
an education that will enable him to
take any place and fill it. Business
education makes ''rut" men-a hb-
eral education makes broad men.
A business education equips a man
well for q single chance, if he miss
es that he has no reserve y liberal
education equips 2 man FOR hun
dred chances if he fails 10 get one
door open he has in his hand the
KEYS of ninety-nine.
II is the broad man who pros
pers in hard times" The man who
mas but one spring in his place may
go thirsty in a drought not so the
man who has 4 score. When times
are dull it is the bOok-keeper who
keeps 4 ledger account beautifully
and knows not how to do anything
else who gets left out in the cold be-
cause there is no ledger to be kept.
The versatile man, who has an
adaptability 10 do whatever work
comes to his hand, always finds
some work to do. When college
graduate is found starving the story
goes the circle of newspapers from
Boston to San Francisco; but when
clerks and book-keepers go hungry
no one thinks it strange. 1t Is an
appalling problem to contemplate.
What will the thousand and odd
graduates of our colleges this year
find to do? But, somehow, they
all do find something. Our colleges
do not furnish the country with its
beggars. its paupers or its tramps.
A well-educated man is a man of
many resources, and he is therefore
ready fer many emergencies, There
is safety in breadth.-Chrls!ian
