who had been to the springs for

HaIf-Educated People.

James Parton recently addressed the
evening high school of Boston and said
that ha.f-educated people are often
found in the highest walks of life. He
himself had once found on visiting
England that his education was wOful-
ly deficient in many respects. When
asked if such and such a flower or tree
was a native of America, he could not
tell. He was unable to inform his ques-
toner how much grass was cut to an
acre in America. He had not fully
cOmprehended the fact that any grass
was ever cut in this country. 1t was to
he observed that no people had so thor
oughly separated themselves from ma
ture as Americans-a fact particularly
salient when the familiarity of Europe
ans with country interests is cOnsid-
cred. The value of knowledge gained
from literature is Overestimated, he
thought. 1t is not the chief end of man.
To write classic English is not the
highest achievement. Shakespeare was
not the greatest man of the Elizabeth
era. Homer was not the nOblest Greek.
He was less than Achilles, as the her
aid is less than the general whose ex-
PLOTS he prOclaims. In the first rank
of aristocracy should be placed the dis
coverers of truth, like Newton. Next
to them belong those who apply the
truth to the age.

why He Married Her.

In the forthcoming fascinating biog
raphy of the heroic Lord Lawrence
there is among many anecdotes one
eminently characteristic of the man,
who was as strong in his affection as in
his will. He was one evening sitting
in his drawing-room at Southgate with
his sister and other members of the
family all were engaged in reading.
Looking up from his book in which he
had been engrossed, he discovered that
his wife had left the room. 'Where's
mother ?" said he to one of his daugh-
tiers. "She's upstairs" replied the girl.
He returned to his book, and looking
up again few minutes later, put the
same question to his daughter and re-
ceived the same answer. Once more he
returned to his reading and once more
he looked up with the same question
on his lips. His sister broke in: "Why,
really, John, it would seem as if you
could not get on for five minutes with
out your wife" "That's why married
her" he replied.

The Ear and the Telephone.

Several cases of disease of the ear by
people who are obliged to make con-
slant use of the telephone, especially
operators in telephone offices, are re-
ported by the Troy Standard. One of
the cases reported is as singular as it
is abnormal. The person in question
for the past eighteen months has had
occasion to stand at the telephone and
answer continuous calls. The almost
constant current of electricity seems to
have stimulated the dormant powers of
growth, and the result is shown in the
enlargement of the outer left ear to
about three times its natural size.
This enormous development has every
appearance of being healthy tissue
with no indication of inflammation or
other diseased condition. The case
puzzles his physician, who is at IA loss
to account for the phenomenon, and
the theory is promulgated that IA new
disease has been introduced into the
world by the invention and use of the
telephone.

the tenth case sometimes wishes, after

Not because she disbelieves IN the
theory of marriage. 1t is Significant
fact that most of the attacks upon mar
riage, and most of the advocates of
''free love-" spiritual affinity" and
kindred trash. come from the ranks of
the married. The old maid does be-
lieve very stOutly in marriage as it was
intended to be, the one husband and
one wife. the mutual helpfulness, the
companiOnship. She thinks it all very
beautiful and desirable, but her OBJ

by the thought of leaving little chill

the light of some life will go out with
her, but she knows that the few who

and if her life has been prolonged. she
closes her eyes with the comfortable
assurance that most of those whom she
loved and who loved her have already
taken the journey, and so departs il
peace.

What Children Read.

Professor Greenwood, of Kansas City,
Mo-. was recently asked to make inves-
LEGATIONS as to what some children
read. He has Just made an interesting
and in some respects a startling report.
He spent eight months in the task in
trusted to him. examining during that
time l. 81 boys and 500 girls, or 2, 677
in all. He found that 80 per cent of
the books read were fiction nearly. III
per cent travels and adventures 81 per
cent history +; 81 per cent biography ;
per cent scientific = per cent litera-
ture and essays; nearly II per cent
poetry = per cent miscellaneous, and
IL per cent "trash." Upon inquiry it
was also found that 432 pupils had read
one or more copies of tiashy ''sport-
ing" paper published in New York. In
other words that one pupil out of every
five was either a constant or an Occa-
siOnal reader of this paper. In fifty
seven rooms pupils were found who
read it: in nine rooms no readers.
When questioned, the pupils said they
read it because it chad lots about fights
and killings in it," and with great
lnanimity they thought sit ought not
to be sold for children to read it." The
report concludes as follows: Go
ing through the rooms | found some
children who read no books; Others

were anxious to read. The teachers
are only too glad to help them. Near

GaInbetIa as "a Journalist.

Gambetta was not ii good writer.
The best of his articles read like writ
ten speeches, and were turgid many
of them. too, were of inOrdinate length.
He used to come in powerfully excited
after IA great debate and say, 81 shall
want about half IA column tonight"
and. sitting down, he would begin to
cover page after page with his close,
cramped handwriting. For so impet-
nous a man he wrote curiOusly stiff
hand, and, though his fingers moved
fast. their motion WAS teVerish and
spaSmOdical. 1t could never be said of
him that he dashed of" any of his eff
fusions; he rather ierlled them off,
swaying the upper part of his body
pOnderOusly to and fro as he wrote,
and now and then collecting his
thoughts by passing his large left hand
rapidly through his hair. Black coffee
would be brought him, and he would
go on writing; then he would call for
bottle of Burgundy and gulp down two
or three glasses, munching sweet bis
cults afterward, or else sticks of choc-
olate in lieu of dinner. The editor.
who had been making allowances for
half a column. would see Gambetta's
"a ticle overflow one column after
another, washing away all other arti-
cles and notes, till it spread like an in
undation over the entire front page of
the paper. Then, with hearty "Oufy"
the French exclamation of relief. he
would throw down his pen and say,
There, | think those few lines will
state our case plainly; what! do they
really run to five columns Sacrebleau,
it seemed to me as if | had only been
writing ten minutes :" and upon this
he would break into a laugh that re-
sounded all over the office, and partly
dispelled the gloom of his contribu-
tors, who had been pulling wry faces
at seeing their evenings work lost
