School Endowments.

Matthew Arnold, in the course of an
address delivered recently in Dulwich
College, near London, said: I'm
America. in the colonies, and, finally,
in our own country also. the tendency
will rather be, it seems to me, to
strengthen and enlarge. more or less,
the instruction given in the schools
which we call elementary. schools for
the mass of the community-to say
that that instruction. indeed, is indis-
peusable for every citizen, that this is
all the instruction which is strictly
necessary, and that whoever wants
more instruction than this must get it
at his own expense as he can. I'm
der these circumstances, the future of
high culture and high studies must
depend most upon the love of individ-
uais for them and the faith of individ-
uals in them. Perhaps this has always
been their best support, and 1t is sup
port which. happily for mankind. will.
/ believe, never fail. In communit es
where there are no endowments these
will be the only support of high studies
and fine culture. But human nature
is weak, and 1 prefer, l confess, that
these supports, however strong and
stanch they may be, of high studies and
f1ne culture should not have the whole
weight thrown upon them. should not
be the only supports. Here is the great
advantage of endowments. Endow-
ments and public foundations fix and
fortify our profession of faith and love
toward high studies and serious eu1-
ture."

The shaggy fabrics will be used as a

or else the entire skirt may be of the

plainly finished without even a depas-

it NAV be plain in front, with merely
pleats behind; it is then caughtup high

may be drawn up alike on both sides.
and held by a velvet loop or strap
and buckle. The tendency is toward
straight back draperies that are made
sufficiently full and bouffant by the
tournure beneath them. 1t is said that
the exaggerated tournures introduced
by English women are fast being aban-
doned by them, and their winter dress
es will show return to more grace
full flowing drapery. Both single and
double breasted basaues will be worn
again. Vests will be retained. but will
be greatly diversified, being visible in
some cases only in the lower part of
the corsage. while in others only a short
plastron at the top will be used inside
of the notched collars that are copied
from masculine garments.
PolOnaises are to be revived, as they
have been long out of use. and all the
changes have been rung on basques and
coats. The soft camers-hair serges
diaoonals will be used for long and
stately redingotes, to be worn over
shaggy cloth skirts. One of the new
wool stufs has diagonal lines woven in
double rows that are so wide and so
prominent that they resemble soutache
braid applied in bias rows; this is the
result of the furore for braid trimmings
that has prevailed for two or three sea-
sons. but which it is predicted will soon
be over; these heavy diagonal cloths
are to be used for redingotes. basques,
and jackets, with borders and large
buttons of fur as trimmings.-Harper S

Little God Island" and if Mr.. Block
hadn't happened along 200 years ago
the more romantic name would have
chung to it.
For nine months in the year the
island is plastered over with drying,
sailed Goldfish. The remainder of the
season the natives devote to sailing
other peoples money. The soil is not
to be mentioned, for there isn't any.
For the present the island is contenting
itself with travelling to the northwest
at the rate of about foot year. The
gray old Atlantic is grimly grinding
away the stately and pictured clay
cliffs on the southern end of the island.
In numerous spots along the southern
bluffs may be seen places where last
winters storms have ground out huge
cores of earth and swept them around
to the northwestern sand spits of the
island. where treacherous bars are ever
forming toward the north. Footpaths
on the cliffs that were popular last year
now end abruptly on the brink OF
chasms thus formed, and new ones have
to be made. Keeper Clark. at the big

Plant Which Might BE q Joy to tho

The espinosilla, or thorn plant. says
Monarchial Oropeza, a well known
Mexican naturalist, is native
of Mexico, and abounds in va
rious parts of the Republics, prin-
cipally near this capital, at San Angel,
Texcoco, Santa Fe. etc. 1t is one of
those beautiful wild plants which adorn
the plains of Mexico. and is found par
ticularly in cold. dry spots. 1t has been
thus christened because in touching it
sensation is felt similar to that which
a plant covered with thorns would pro-
duce.
The Aztlcs lacking soap so necessary
to their health and happiness-found
its substitute in the espinosilla. They
agitated a bough in water and it pro-
duced lather. with which they wash
ed, using the plant as a scrub brush.
Even to-day it is used by women as
hair preservative. having extraordinary
powers in that direction, says the I'W0
Republics. But its most useful appli-
cations is as medicinal agent, to fight
fevers. as it is an excellent diapho-

A Critic Whose Opinion Depended ON Cir
cumstAnces.
Gilhooly is one of those fellows who
makes it point to taffy every body with
whom he comes in contact, even if he
has to do it at the expense of somebody
else. Gus De Smith, who has re-
markable talent for music, recently
composed the saddest kind of dirge
and called it THE Beggar's Dream"
The piece was played in public for the
first time by Miss Birdie McGinnis. the
sister of Hostetter McGinnis. at must
Gale. or some such shindig. at the man
sion of Colonel Percy Yerger. After
Miss McGinnis had finished playing,
she asked Gilhooly how he liked it
"Your playing was superb. Your
touch is wonderful. but tell me. Miss
Birdie, why do you play such wretched
thing as Gus de Smiths .Beggar's
Dream which really should be called
the .Beggar's Nightmare You can't
do yourself justice when you play such
wretched piece as that. If il had not
been for your exquisite playing the
piece would have been hissed.'
VI course, MISS BIRDIE IelC very mucn
fiattered, and was subsequently heard
to speak of the intelligence and good
looks of Gilhooly.
Later in the evening. Gus De Smith.
the brilliant composer, asked Gilhoolv
to step outside. At first, Gilhooly sup
posed that Gus had heard about his
adverse criticism of the musical pro-
duction. and he wished he had not
spoken so disparagingly OF Gus. When
they got outside Gus said in an earnest
voice:
'Gilhooly. let's 60 to Jules Borne
fields and flatter our digesters."
They went into Jules Bornefeld's sa-
loon. After the ceremony was over,
Gus said:
Now, Gilhooly. know you are
Judge of fine music. 1 want your cam
did opinion about that little gem of
mine, the .Beggar's Dream.
Gus" replied Gilhooly, Selling his
friend by the hand, You are the COM
ing Texas Mozart, but why don't you
get musician to play it instead of
that dreadful piano-pounder, Birdie
McGinnis. She has no touch at all.
If it hadn't been for the merits of the
piece itself, the people would have
Kissed her of the stage"
Then Gus De Smith once more
pressed the hand of the candid critic,
and told Jules Bornefeld to "set 'em

CUT CORN.
How It May BE Removed to Make Room
for Another Crop.

How It May BE Removed to Make Room
for Another Crop.
It often happens that farmer would
like to use his corn field the same sea-
son for wheat or rye; or he might pre-
fer to have the cut corn removed from
the ground for the purpose of standing
it in a more convenient place for husk-
ing and taking care of the slower. But
if he never did such job. or if he
once managed it at a disadvantage, he
will be apt to think it so formidable
and expensive an undertaking that he
will let it go. although the field might
with little more tillage do about as
we'll for the winter grain as would the
summer fallow which had received the
seasons tillage expressly to fit it for
one of them. Nevertheless. good work
men say they can harvest the corn
quite as fast by drawing it off as in the
usual way. It can be cut and dropped
into gavels much faster than to carry
and set up each handful in shock.
Moreover. experience proves that corn.
if stood we'll packed up to straight
fence. making q heavy body of it in a
continuous line, without stopping to
bind it all, will stand. cure and Keep
better than when standing in shocks in
the field. and will be in better shape.
both for husking and for saving the
odder. and often such corn-stubble, if
the crop received good tillage. will
with little more cultivating (without
plowing) be in a fair condition for
seed-bed again.
To carry out this plan most econom.
ically would prefer to have the field
only twenty-five or thirty rods wide
to stand the corn to. Have truck
wagon with long reach and strong
plank bottom to draw the corn off
with. then cut three rows at time and
drop into straight row of gavels of
about the size that stout hand can
conveniently handle. Have boy to
drive, and say two men to lift the corn.
place it straight and even across the
platform bottom of the wagon. butts
all one way, to the side the men work
from. One or two rows of these gavels
will make load in going across the
field. Then drive along the fence with
the corn-butts toward it; when the
same men take it off in snug armfuls
and stand it straight and compact as
possible; you can safely use three or
four feet width at bottom, and con-
tinuous row of this breadth both sides
of the field will usually take all the
crop. The tops will naturally lean to-
ward the fence and all will stand so
compact together there VIII not be the
least need Of any binding, and it keeps
so well upright that none takes hurt.
