As the Tories are always expressing

incorrect. When he received the

Inv aAEouahAN
People generally know a great deal
more about fish and their ways than
they did ten years ago, but how many
are there, do you suppose, outside of
scientific folks and fishermen who know
that n salmon isn't a salmon at all until
he is 3 years old Not many, We be
love. From the time he is born, along
in February, until he is 1 year or IA
months old, the young salmon is a parr,
and looks so much like q brook trout
that hundreds of them are killed and
basketed every year by sportsmen whose
experience has not taught them the diff
ference between the parr and the trout.
As soon as they are over being paris
they become smolts, and have conf
denee enough in themselves to go from
the rivers to the sea. AS soon as they
get into salt water their appetite begins
to sharpen, and they favor il so well
that they gain u pound or S 70 every
month. After three or four months of
feasting or picnicking in the sea water
they are so proud of their slick, glisten-
ing, rotound beauty that they start at
once back for their birthplace among
the pools and eataraots, and reach there
grilse with n strong resemblance to their
lordly fathers. The grilse disports him
self in his native waters until he is three
years old, by which time he has taken
on all the form and assumed the man
ner Of salmon maturity, and journeys
proudly to the sea.

a LIBERAL EDUCATION.
A Terrible Waste OF Money and Time
sometimes Incurred.

4 Terrible Waste OF Money and Time
sometimes Incurred.
Boston Budget.
There is a very common, but very in
definite, phrase current in the world
about men who have enjoyed the nd-
vantage OF a liberal education. As
generally understood, this phrase means
a university education, or a complete
curse of four years in a college, car
rying with 1t a regular diploma at the
close. The graduates of all colleges are
tacitly and ex-oiiicio "liberally edu-
Gated, - while the fellows who have not
enjoyed the advantages of n classical or
public university education are set
down, by inevitable implication, as un-
educated or educated in a name re-
verse from liberal.
1t ought to be manifest enough that
universities and diplomas can confer
upon n man little or no claim to be con
sidered literally educated, unless he has
in him the an%tecedent elements of n
broad and liberal culture. II a young
man carries a university in his head,
and demonstrates his capacity by an
early and invincible thirst for knowl-
edge, to which he will sacrifice all other
objects, it matters little where or how
he secures the great end Of his exist
ence, to wit, a liberal education. He
may never darken the door of any col
lege by his presence, and may yet, by
his unaided efforts, acquire and main
tain a rank in the hierarchy Of scholars
which the best educated university pro
fessors might look upon with envy and
emulation.
And, on the other hand. a young
man without natural aptitude for
thought and study, and undistinguished
by that indispensable zeal for knowl-
edge, may go passably through a
seven years course Of classical learning,
and come out with n sheepskin diploma,
certifying that he has graduated" a
bachelor Of arts, when, in fact. he is
not practically master of the rudiments
of q single science.
1t is a terrible waste of money and
time to educate by a liberal college
course those who have no fitness for
study and no love for learning. How
many ambitious but mistaken parents
have spoiled a good engineer or farmer,
or mechanic, or artist, by turning a
deaf ear to all suggestions of fitness,
and compelling their son to study
Greek, Latin and Hebrew for the min
h'hA. VI 0ACOh hh0 IdlAA NAlhOh llC
Hebrew for the medical profession or
the bar. Is it any wonder that the
pulpit is filed with so many unimpres-
siye and unimproying preachers, or the
other learned professions, when this
forced and unnatural process of educa-
ton is considered.
The mi s1irected energies of thousands
have been expended upon the vain at
tempt to make fine classical scholars out
of those who had not e particle of tai
enc save for practical affairs. The
waste of material is the saddest fact in
life. To find ones true vocation COM
monty costs a mar from one to three
failures in attempting a false one, and
a heavy proportion Of those thus crop
ing after a career break down in the
search before reaching any real element
of success.

THE RESULT IN ONO.

As usual the Republicans in Ohio, as
well as elsewhere, clam everything.
They have probably elected their state
ticket by a plurality of less than 5000. n
loss of over 5000 votes since last year,
when Blaine carried the state by over
1900 The legislature is yet in doubt,
both committees claiming a majority
on Joint ballot,
Ohio has started the political breeze,
and now New York will take her latitude
and the bands will begin to play.
There is no good reason why one state
voting in October, should decide doubtful
battles in other states in November; but
it is so to a great extent, and that ends
dispute among practical men. However,
purely local issues. which do not obtain
in other states, have certainly controlled
the election in Ohio, and the result thus
produced is not the drift of the popular
tide on national issues.
The campaign will now fairly begin in
New York, and we believe the Empire
state will register its voice in favor of
Democracy and reform, and thus endorse
its %favorite son, Grover Cleveland, the
chosen leader and faithful representative
Of pure Democracy.

/ do not know Of any surer way of
predicting the changes in the weather,
than by observing the habits of the

moisture during a rain and exude it
afterward. This animal is never seen
abroad except before a rain, when you
will see it climbing the bark of trees and
getting on the leaves. The tree snail.

there are other species that before a
rain are yellow; after it, blue. Others
indicate rain by holes and protuber-
anees, which before a rain rise as large
tuborcles, These will begin to show
themselves ten days before a rain. At
the end OF each tubercle is a pore which
opens when the rain comes, to absorb
and draw in the moisture. In other
