HfGHER EDUCIrIos sOFuoyr.

We reed higher culture for those
women who do not enter the professions.
Our system OF educating the girls, as q
rule. Is very radically false. There are
notable exceptions, but the rule is the
following, that the object sought to be
ga ned is accomplishments rather than
solid knowledge. Women are taught to
play the piano and to use the French
.sss'ssaSese. mage. They get u stuattering of
many subjects, an intellectual grip on
hardly any. Even knowledge is given
them as an accomplishment-that is, not
for its own sake, but to make them ap-
pear pleasing. To be blunt, women are
educated so they may please men. Tho
fault Is less with the teachers than with
the parents, who create the demand and
Obtain the supply in our fashionable
schools. All this ought not to be. Our
education of girls should be more prac.
teal, more solidly useful than it is.
Every woman, whether she needs to
enter a profession or not, should be so
trained that she can enter one. or at
least perform some useful service for
which society will remunerate her.
Every girl should know that she can
support herself if she desires to do SO.
If this were the case, women would have
greater independence and freedom in
choosing their husbands than they now
have, and the knowledge that there is
IN alternative open TO them would cause
them to enter married life on footing
of greater equality than is now accorded
TO them. There would then be fewer of
those unhappy marriages into wnIch
young women allow themselves to be
hurried for fear OF falling burden upon
their father or their brothers; fewer of
those cases in which a woman saws
"yes " at the altar when her whole soul
means "no."

4 TESTERS OBITU4RY.

Night before last, without a word of
warning, Calamity Pease, aged 13 years,
passed in the realm beyond. Calamity
will he remembered by our citizens as
the almost constant companion of Judge
Pease, the editor Of our evening con-
temporary. We noBced yesterday that
he did not call us putrid liar, as has
been his wont, and we knew that some
thing was wrong. La.er, We found the
following brief tribute to deceased:
"Mr. Pease's little dog, Calamity,
died last night, probably from old age,
as it was between 13 and IA years old,
and had been in the family from the
time of its birth"
While we bow to the inevitable decree
which has robbed us of Calamity, we
should RENT mber that our loss is his tor
hers, as the case may he, eternal gain.
Calamity is no more. He (or she, as the
case may be, } will not meet us on the
sidewalk, and let us fall over him Cor
her, as the case may be, as was the case
heretofore. Judge Pease is now left with
only one large dog and his family. The
day may soon come when he will have
no one to love hut his family. The big
dog who lies i'll front of the Times door
and cats the remains OF dead animals,
and sociably throws everybody down
who tries to go in the door, will soon
pass away, and the Judge will be left no
Joy but the blessed rest and mental re-
taxation of writing his deep, abstruse
and harmless editorials. - Laramie

vENNOR's PREDICTION.
General Forecast Of the Season 1882.

Out of the thirteen long-range and general
predictions which l have given forth and
caused to be published in the leading news
papers of the day and in my yearly a manacs.
between the years 1875 and 1882, only two
have been seriously out or sstray with re-
spect to the summer season. This statement
is not an empty assertion, but, on the contrary,
one that is capable of proof For the verti-
cation of these predictions does not lie in
my own translation of them, but in each
case has been gathered from the telegraph
reports of the day. and just as these have
appeared in the daily journals in which the
predictions were first published. Having
said this much on by-gone forecasts, / desire
now, briefly, to give brief but comprehen-
sive outline of what. in my humble opin-
ion, are likely to be the most remarkable
features of the summer and autumn of the
year 1882:
1. A season that will well merit the
designation of cool or cold and wet, gener-
orally. Not that there will not be terms of
summer warmth, and even intense heat for
periods but rather that these last will ap-
pear in the retrospect as of but comparative
insignifcance, or as the exceptions to the
general rule.
2. The season will be marked by not only
great precipitation, but by a mugginesss of at
mOsphere, generally, caused by the reeking
condition af the earth and the long contin-
uance of clouded sky. This wdl result in
periods of extreme sultriness and heavy
weather, during which the thunder and hail
storms will occur. In other words. the
summer will be the reverse of clear and dry.
8. There is a likelihood of June and Au-
gust frosts in Northern, Western and South
ern sections, and a general cold wave may
occur toward midsummer.
4. The autumn months will continue
moist. September will probably give rains
and floods in Western Canada and In West
ern and Southern sections of the United
States. October will be much the same,
with early cold and snow-falls. No
vember will begin the winter of 1925
a winter likely to be memorable on account
of its exceptionally heavy snow-falls
and very cold weather over the whole
Northern Hemisphere. That "a cold and
wet summer is invariably followed by a
cold and stormy winter" is truth now SO
we'll proven and borne out by the testimony
of past records that we can not lightly putt
aside, and if we have good and sufficint
grounds for predicting the former-as we
most assuredly have at this time-it is but
right that we should warn the people of the
latter in good season.
Fifth and last-The approaching season
will probably be the first of couple of wet
summers, aud as 1882 is, so is 1888 likely to
be. But here we must stop for the present
