RAGAN's ILLUMINATED ToURs.-The
last entertainment of the lecture couIse
was nm illustrated lecture on Parasitic
Magnificent, given by Mr.. II. Ii. Raglan.
AS it was possible for Mr.. Raglan to re-
main here another night, he consented
TO do so, and to give Venice, Milan and
the Italian Lakes. These trips with
Mr.. Raglan through Paris and northern
Italy were delightful. We crossed the
ocean and even the treacherous chan
mel without seasiekness and landed in
the sunny streets of Paris without
fatigue, fresh for sight seeing. Cooks
Tourist Parties return dissatisfied;
there are too many men of many
minds each wanting TO see different
thing nj the same time. Our party fol-
lowed Mr.. Raglan submissively desiring
TO 90 only where he pleased to take us.
We spent several days in Paris doing
the city as only Americans can do it.
We visited the Champs Elysee and the
Tuilleries, the galleries of the Louvre
and sauntered through the magnificent
FOYER of the new opera house, stood be-
fore the little chapel whose bell rang
the knell of hundreds of Huguenots on
that fatal night of st. Bartholomew,
in August 1872 and walked through
the bright streets gay with brilliant
shops. We saw Paris in sunlight and
in moolight; gay, giddy. happy Paris
where lie is q pastime and the only
reality death. From Paris we went by
way of the beautiful lakes, Como. Mag
ciore. and Geneva, to Verona, Milan
ond Turin and were at last in Venice,

Dress like in olden times.
And there you'll see Young ladies' fai.

You'llsurely be delighted.
At twelve o'clock the masks come off,
And there you'll see some sport
Some will laugh and some will cough
For the wrong girl did he court.
Some Young men there win old appear.
Some old once young will seem
But girls come on you need not fear.
For you know It's only scheme
When early morning will appear,
You'll say we've had our share
And all that came from far and near
Were glad that they were there.

EDUCATION FOR THE MECHANIc.-It
is difficult to consider the money value
only of education in the various occupa-
tons Any trade is but small part of the
real life. of one who follows it. Even to
the busy manual laborer, the most salts
factory part of his existence embraces
the reading and converse of several
hours each day, and the thoughtful ex-
ercse of his brain during physical
employment. This side of life sure
ly needs a cultivated mind for its
highest enjoyment. Elihu Burritt, 1.-THE
learned blacksmith" as he fed his
mind aud mastered several languages
while at work at the forge, well real
lied what may be added to a humble
life by mental activity. So it is that
the kinds of work that seem simplest
and require least thinking are the very
ones for which a we'll stored mind is
needed to beguile tedious hours and
add to life stimulus of something
grander. Bull even from merely
pecuniary standpoint, there are but few
vocations in which one is not more sue
cessful with school training. In the
very plainest kinds of work one is
materially aided by knowing the kinds.
sources, processes, and nature of the
materials and tools to be used. BY the
growth of inventions and machinery
intelligence is constantly becoming
more necessary to every mechanic. But
the workman who aspires to rise in his
vocation especially needs the equipment
of an informed and disciplined mind
The carpenter may well look forward
to the more intricate departments of
his trade, where considerable knowl-
edge of mechanics and geometrical
figures is absolutely necessary. The
architect, the master mechanic of large
corporations, the contractor. the civil
engineer, or the superintendent of any
important work, needs to be an educated
man; and there is no good reason why
the drawing. the philosophy, or the geo.
metry that some of our students are
now learning may not sometime be APP
piled to those lucrative vocations. La
any trade, it is the best thinkers that
are most apt to rise; and no boy who
has educational opportunities can afford
to limit himself to the very lowest con-
ditions of life work.

EDUCATIONAL. - Rev. Mr.. Tull
preached an educational sermon at the
Methodist church last Sunday morning
to large audience. Mr. Tull en-
ployed many apt figures illus trative of
the value OF the educated over the un-
educated mind, for instance:-A bar of
iron just from the ground was worth
five dollars; worked, by degrees, into
horse shoes. into knife blades, into
needles or watch springs, its value had
increased to many thousands of dollars.
Maud S. previous to being trained was
worth seventy-five dollars; now as a
result of her training, she was worth
fifty thousand dollars. Education pays
as an investment and one does well who
empties his purse into his-head instead
Of into his mouth.

education were most strongly portrayed
