strangely enough, the Indians also
took the premium for the best mod
srn pillow displayed.

Krupp, the great gun manufactu-
rer, has just taken out a patent for a
flat-headed rprojectile. This novel
form has been given to it with a
view Of preventing its glancing off
on striking the armor plate of yes.

The form has further been adopted
with the object of penetrating a
ships armor below the water-line,
an operation hitherto attended with
but little success, owing to the point

cause loss of velocity, = point of

Education is the great ruddel

Nothing should be more thorough,

hol 9 for the prosperity and long life
OF our nation. There is no duty
more binding upon parents than that
of educating those who are 10 take
their places, in due time, upon the
stage in the great drama of life.
Without an education they will be
thrown upon the world as a feather
on the wind, tossed to and fro by the
storms Of life, and, instead of deck
ing the roll of the useful in life, they
will occupy one of the unenviable
or raves Of the forgotten. They will
live, move and die-pass off the
stage of life, and be remembered no
more. Why? Because they will do
nothing worthy Of remembrance.
The great food of ignorance and er

course around them, and they will
be unable to lend a helping hand,
when little pebble Of education
would turn the tide. 1t will make
them rise above the follies and gale

a desire to be useful in life, and
teach them that life is field for
action, not for idle pleasure. 1t
will prepare them for the duties Of
life, under which, without an edu-
cation they will falter, and willguide
them to those duties, which when
performed, will gain for them the
gratitude of benefited mankind.
Parents, give your children edu-
cations and you will confer the
greatest benefit you are capable of
bestowing upon them. You will
prepare them for the world, and you
will lay SO many bulwarks for the
State in time of darkness and danger.
Ed AGATE your children, and your
country will never sigh for help in
time Of distress. She will ever feel
the strong arm of the genius of her
sons supporting her, when despots
would trample on her liberties. She
will never feel herself shaken, as
barbarian haunts tremble when they
see the power of civilization, but
with men of genius at the helm, she
will ever have her rights amid the
of national strifcs.
