FoRFEITED LAND Grants.

Mr.. Holman, of Indiana, in an in
terview on the subject oi our public
lands, says there are 96. 600 900 acres
included in forfeited grants about
which there can be no possible
ground for dispute. He is opposed
to the sale OF any Of the public land
that can be used for agricultural
purposes. He says:
The time has long since gone by
when our Government could afford
to permit speculation IN the public
lands and, let me tell you, our peo
pie will Lever appreciate the value
OF our public lands until the general
land Clllce is closed up. The land
monopoly feature OF this land-grant
system is the most odious ever devis-
ed in any country. Already it is
creating imperial landed estates. /

Have you enemies? Go straight

them, aud do your duty regard ess Of
their spite. A man who has no en-
emies is seldom good for anything /;
he is made of that kind Of material
which is 90 easily worked, that every
one has a hand in it. A sterling
character--one who thinks for him
self, and speaks what he tbinks--is
always cure TO have enemies. They
are as necessary to him ss fresh air ;
they keep him alive and active. A
celebrated character who was sur
rounded with enemies, used to re-
mark ; They are sparks WHICH, if

prehend.
Again, If you make any complaint
or iuquiry OF the powers that be why
there are no efforts made to equalize
tsxatiau in this State, the reply is
Ca this is very dlIioste matter. II
you 20 at this, you will drive oapi-
tai out of our State. Now I would
like to understand what justice or
sense there ia in this kind of an ar
gument, For is il not evident that
while they uufairly and unjustly by
this mode OF procedure encourage
one class OF capital 10 enter our State
that they shut il of effectualiy by
unjust taxation against another c'ase
that is more necessary to the perms-
nent growth and development of a
State than the one they encouraged ?
As proof OF this, travel only few
miles across the line into Pennsylva-
MIA and you will find farm land is
worth from $40 to $50 per acre, while
in our State land Of naturally as good
quality is only worth from $40 to$2o
per acre. It is time, in my opinion,
that farmers aud laborers look this
matter squarelY i'll the face, and ii
injustice exists, she man who per
mlts it ie az guilty as the man who
proposes it, and his responsibility
the same.

ExCHdNGING TINE RED EoR rms
GRAY.

The red uniform so dear to the
hearts of Englishmen will be seen
hereafter only on dress parade. An
exhaustive series OF experiments have
been carried out under varying con-
ditions oi weather, atmosphere, sur
roundings and background, aud the
color committee appointed by tho
ccmmander-in- chief has reported
that scarlet and white, owing to
their glaring conspicuousness, are
not suitable Tor military uniforms in
those days OF sharpen ooters and long
range rifles. As the scientific tests
proceeded, one color after another
was excluded, eatil only two were
left, gray and the India khskee. or
earth color. While these colors
were on q par 30 far as invisibilitS
was concerned, khakee offered less
resistance to rain and sunlight than
gray, and as il faded became almost
as conspicuous as white. Gray, con-
sequently, was recommended by the
committee as the beet color for the
service dress Of the army, with umber
belts and haversscks in place OF
pipe-clay aud white. Not even the
brase buttons have been spared,
dull, unpublished bronze being favor
ed Tor ornament, aud the bright sur
faces OF the accoutrements. buckles,
scabbards. bayonets aud all are to be
vanished with sombre, brown
lacquer. Lest the transition should
prove dishear.ening to the soldiers
and unpopular with the masses the
old colors are To be retained for full
dress parade. and the recruiting
sergesnts will be allowed to shine
reeplendent in red and white 80 as
TO dazzle the eyes OF innocent vii
lsge;s; but when there is any real
fighting TO be done, the British s1l-
dier will be as indistinct target for
the enemy as common senss and
optical experiments will permit.
Military tailoring may make haod-
some uniform oil the gray but the
traditional glory Of the red-coat can
never be riyslled. The adoption OF
so ugly color as earth-worm khakse
would have excited insurreetion ia
the ranks.

PRACTIOAL EDUCATION.

Tue Baltimore Day is an earnest
and persistent advocate Of a system
OF technical or trade education, and
from time to time it has thrown out
some valuable suggestions on this
subjsct. In recent issue it pays
q high tribute to Peter Cooper's
scheme OF practical education. 1t
calls attention TO the many expert
meots now being made in giving boys
a manuel education. Such an edu-
cation would be, to many boys, An
incslculsbIe blessing. 'Insteal of
hearing, IL says, so many meaning
less plstitudes uttered by platform
orators or Office seekers, cage. to se-
cure the popular vote, with reference
TO the dignity Of labor, it is pity
that such men, aud even those who
are continually Advancing new theo-
rice in politica! economy, do not show
that they properly understand the
real worth and value OF labor. No
matter how much men may have diff
Tered az to the ultimate economic
value Of labor. saving machinery only
one opinion has ever been expressed
as to the benefits resulting from
schools which furnish purely prac-

THE oIRLs sDoUID ExgRCIsr.

DR.. Alice f. Freeman OF WelIes-
ley College, says that the cause OF
the breaking down Of the girls in
institutions OF learning is the lack OF
proper physicsl care before entering.
Experience shows that 10 the boar d .
ing schools where exercise ig com .
pulsory the students improve in
health, but college is not place for
invalids, and those with weak consti-
tutions and nervous prostration are
likely to become I'D. Girls have not
as vigorous physique as boys, bu.
they are capable Of greater endur-
snce, aud with proper care can sus-
tain rs thorough a course Of mental
training with benefit rather than
detriment to their health.
