PRACTICAL EDUCATION.

1t should greatly encourage the friends
of practical education" to know that the
Chandler Scientific branch of Dartmouth
continues to be pronounced success
From that wing of the college there are
305 graduates. OF these, 20 are practical
civil engineers, % are in other departments
of engineering, 81 are teachers, 20 are
physicians, IS are merchants, fill col
legiate chairs, 81 are at the bar, and Others
are chemists architects, draughtsmen,
machinists, railroad men, journalists,
clergymen, judges, bankers, manufacturers,
etc Over 10 per cent. of all the graduates
enter upon practical scientific work. These
could not have been qualified for the pur-
pose by the classical chairs But it APP
pears that the scientific training stimu-
lated IS per cent. to adopt law, medicine
or theology. The time was when these
professions could not have been recruited
except from the academical departments
There is much to please in these state
ments Higher education is drawing
nearer to the practical side of life, and the
exactions of our civilization and methods
Of progress are being answered by class
of scientifically educated young men who
are capable of taking part in the great in
dustries and great works and intricate
machinery Developments as well as the
learned professions Of the day. 1t is not to
be concluded that classical courses are to
be superseded but it is a fact that they
are, and for the future Will be, less availed
Of The great universities and colleges
appreciate this, and most arrangements
instead Of erecting barriers, have thrown
open the portals, and now give the man
who wants practical instruction in given
lines the fullest opportunities to receive it.
In this connection it is worthy of note that
Harvard College has conceded sufficient to
the sentiment of the day to abolish the
chair of Ancient, Patriotic and Modern
Greek

AN EGYPTIAN METHOD.

Very small things sometimes wildly
illustrate the causes Of discomfort among a
people. The Soudanese do not submit
willingly to Egyptian rule, because it is
regulative of their concerns in way that
burdens them beyond endurance While
on the one hand it virtuously assumes TO
check the slave traffic, it bleeds the Sou
danese Of his means by the most outrageous
taxation. In the Soudan irrigation is the
avenue TO about all agricultural ends, vet
this means is 50 burdened that ii is impos-
sible it should ever develop its po,sibili-
ties. Thus, pole balanced on Il tail full
crum, something a. l. well sweep" has
attached to the end depending over the
river a stout earthen jar. The sweep"
being dipped" the jar is plunged into
the stream. \ skin full Of stones at the
other end Of the pole aids the Soudanese
to restore the equilibrium, and thus the
jar is withdrawn, swung about and emp
tied into BASIN from which small fur
rows convey the water to the land. Yet
this miserable piece Of primitive ma
ehinery Is regulated by the Egyptian Gov
ernment and taxed $50 piastres, or about
SIS. 4 water-wheel that is now being In
PRODUCED is taxed $50 per annum, and 4
still more improved one $40 No part OF
this revenue is used to improve irrigating
facilities.
The Egyptian Government cannot rise
level with the proposition that the greater
freedom given to irrigation the greater the
results in products, the better the condi-
ton of the people, and the closer their
attachment to the Government, which
would gain in strength and revenue by the
removal Of the restraints now applied.
Compared to the agriculturist of the Nile
region, tillers Of the soil almost any where
else are kings and princes blessed with all
possible good things.

NECESSITY FOR PREPARATION.

New Orleans, ii is stated, viii quarantine
all vessels after May LIST hailing from Mex
lean. South American and Brazilian ports.
This is the right thing to do. New Orleans
has had too many bitter experiences with
yellow fever not to know the danger of adj
hitting it to foothoId But what are we
doing in California? VIII we take equally
as vigorous action? Probably not. The
little coasters of San Francisco must be
permitted to hunt along the Mexican shore
for yellow fever and bring it up
to California at the earliest date.
1t Will then be taken ashore and in
PRODUCED to the streets and lanes OF the
metropolis, Will find its way into the inte-
rior speedily, or pass, as it did in Mexico,
on the wings Of the wind from coast to
valley, and California will be turned back
ward decade in her schemes of progress.
The present is the time for action and for
preparation for the probable. The drain
age of our valley interior towns is defect
i've; that of Sacramento is especially bad
and not at this time to be remedied. We
are, therefore, all the more solicitous that
fever should be kept out of the State by
declaring Mexican ports infected the mo-
ment the fever reappears, as it soon will.
We need to do as Spain did regarding
.l,gl
they must not attempt to enter our har-
bors. The Federal Government possesses
the power to bar the progress of the plague
so far as such declaration of infection can
do it. and can cut off communication with
yellow fever sections. The State and San
Francisco should appeal to the Federal
authority for the necessary power to this
end We should then establish all along
the Mexican inland border, ut any cost, a
rigid line of sentries to stay the passage of
passengers and goods liable to transmit the
germs from infected places, or at least re-
tain them in reasonable quarantine. The
difficulty, and the chief difficulty, in the
matter is to arouse the people of California
to realization of the necessity for such
action as suggested. At present they do
not appear to have due sense of the i'm
minent danger to which it is certain they
will be exposed on the temperance of the
fever in Mexico, and which may be looked
for within fortnight.

J. T. SARSFIELD, ESQ:
DEAR SRI wish TO add my testimony to the
wonderful curative properties of your Chronic
Ulcer Salve as we have given it the best of trials
in my family. As you well know, my little
nephew, BERTHE Porter, was laying at death $
door for a period of ten days, and surely would
have died of pain only for our timely hearing of
your wonderful salve, and its immediate appli-
cation to his ankle, which was rotting away with
a large fever sore which had broken in four diff
forent places The doctors could do nothing
more for him, and he screamed night and day
for n whole week until plaster of your Chronic
Ulcer Salye was applied when he went 10 sleep
in twenty minutes, and never cried with pain
again His leg bone above the ankle rotted
away very much, and several pieces came out,
but by constant use of your Salye and your
Blood Remedy he has been fully cured. and is
now going to school. We consider his recovery
due entirely to your wonderful medicine, and
cheerftllly recommend il to all persons who suf
fer from, any alterations of long standing or of
recent date. You are at liberty to use this us you
may deem most useful to You. Yours truly,

mote the good work we tender you a subScrip-
ton of twenty-five thousand dollars, provided
that for the period of one year you permit us to
place across the top of the pedestal the word
- Castoria.'' Thus art and science the sym

hearts of our people.

To the science of medicine the world is in
debted for much. What Hippocrates rudely
proved upon, until mortality among children
has decreased one half, and the average life OF
man has been nearly doubled. When about
thirty years ago DR.. Pitcher, warning against
dangerous narcotic medicines, discovered the
formula of vegetable Castoria he recorded a sci
entifc advance, which has been adopted by
millions of mothers, and by liberal physicians
everywhere. Castoria is not as some suppose a
secret remedy. Its formula is published with
each bottle. 1t contains no morphine or other
injurious ingredient, and is now as regularly
prescribed as paragoric or castor oil once were,
If Castoria We're removed from use, no other pre-
scription could fill its place Mothers will be
pleased to know that part of the money they
this year pay for this invaluable remedy will be
loaned to the Goddess of Liberty TO enlarge the
patriotism of their children. apls-1t&wlt
