An Indian student at school in

"A Scotch Clergyman at Ayr, q few

Henry Ward Beecher said recently:
"All the assaults made upon religion

statistics showed that the best men and
best citizens are children of deVout
members of the church.
Prot E. j. James, while on visit
to Germany, last summer, asked the
professors of twelve German universi-
ties: ''Do you think that too many
young men are studying at the unigersi-
ties?" Almost uniformly the answer
was: sThere is no doubt of it. - Ger

fessionally educated men for whom
there is no room in the professions and
who are too proud to go into business
of any sort. Result--poyerty or
suicide .
People are beginning to ask them
selves whether the millions theyannually
give for public education, sum which
is all the time increasing, are so ex-
pended that they produce the best re-
suits; and the question IS becoming q
leading one in other cities besides New
York. The conclusions reached are
everywhere substantially the same.
They are that in trying to do too much
we are marring the effect of the whole;
and dthat we should produce better re-
suits at much less expense If The in
struction given by the State was rudi-
mentary only, but thorough SO far as it
goes.-N. Y. Sun.
When the late Professor Sophocles
was a proctor in Holworthy Hall, Har-
ward, one night a tipsy student, rolling
up to bed, fell against his door, and
upon being interviewed was anything
but respectful in bis language. Next
morning, awakening with remorseful
stomach and an aching head, the Of
fender felt it to be the part Of discretion
to go to the proctor and apologize. He
had not proceeded far in his halting
explanation, however, before the other
interrupted him with the words: Not
yourself, sir? You were drunk, sir!
drunk! But you were so drunk as to
be curiosity, and therefore shall not
report you. '-Boston Post. -

Dogs.

Among the pests of the farmer the
dog holds high, if not the highest.
place. Not that the dog is necessarily
Injurious, any more than some human
beings are, but it is the unframed,
neglected, and consequently vicious,
dogs which are pest to the farmer, as
it is the uneducated, neglected and idle
youths who become pests of society.
A well-trained dog, kept in proper sub
lection and 14nder control of its owner,
may be useful in more than one
capacity, while its kind, docile and
friendly disposition and its wonderful
sagacity may make it an acceptable
companion. But when left to itself,
like the erring child we read of. it is
sure to bring its owner to shame and
grief. A Tennessee farmer who has
suffered gives some figures which might
be duplicated in every other State
with great ease. He says that his State
possesses 100000 dogs that are idle,
vicious and worthless. Each of these
dogs consumes as much food as would
make 100 pounds of pork if fed to pigs,
which, in the aggregate, is equal to
30,000,000 pounds of bacon annually,
worth S3,0o0,000. This is the direct
cost of them. The indirect loss con-
sists in the prevention of the keeping OF
100000 sheep, the yearly profit of
which would be S6,000,000, so that the
whole loss to the State by reason of
the keeping of worthless dogs
in a state of ferocious savageness is
equal to S9,000,000. The schools of the
State cost $3,090,000. So that the
keeping of the dogs costs three times
more than the education of the children.
| The farmer might well have added to
his productive crop of figures all the
various losses and damages direct and
indirect from the sadly defective educa-
ton of the children for which only
S3.000,000 can be afforded on account
of these dogs.
| But it is bad enough, because this is
only very small part of the whole
damage which is inflicted upon the
public by worthless dogs, or rather
through the criminal neglect of the
owners of them. For if man should
keep q wolf or other wild ferocious
beast and suffer it to go at large to
prey upon his neighbors every night he
would commit IN offense for which he
would be amenable to the laws; and it
is equally wrong for him to keep dog
and suffer it to become beast of prey.
There is no lawful reason why a man
may not keep wolf or bear, or a
tiger even, if he keeps it in secure con-
finement. Society does not prohibit
this pleasure and qualification, and q
man may keep dog with equal pro-
priety if he viii only prevent it from
injuring or destroying his neighbor' S
flock. But certainly every man should
be obliged to do this, and farmers who
suffer damage have clear right to in
sist upon it and to ask for sufficient leg
islation to enforce it.-M 7. Times.
