Germany seems to have led the van IN
carrying education to the extreme limit.
1t has all along been argued that the hap
piness of mankind is increased By educsr
ton. But now it is conceded that the great
facilities for gaining q higher education
in Germany have made men Wretched IL
stead ofhappy.
Every year the universities Of Germany
turn out thousands of young men who feel
that they know too much to be hsndWork,
ers. They must be bEsin-workers. instead
of tilling the soil or pushing jack plane,
they 20 10 the cities and towns ard stsrye
as music teachers, doctors, lawyers, clerks
and wri.ers. These men are always dis
contented. They form q dangerous ele-
inert in sny country. They drift into so-
cislisn, communism and nihiism.
Education has never been so general as
now. In the pas: the universities Of Eur
one have sen. out men who have become
leaders in great movements. EducG'
cation has been the motive power of
revolution. While men are ignorant
and do not know their rights they are con-
tented With their condition. But as aoou
"a they see that they have not their rights
thew become disconnected and will never
be satisfied TIL their grievances are
redressed. Says the New York Star:
The despotie social organization Of Rus
sia slept dream of peace until the uni
vsrsities, under the more liberal regime of
the early reign of Alexander Ill. began
70 turn out a swarm Of educated enthusi-
ssts, on whose minds have beaten the
fierce isht of Truth. The admirable edues-
tionsl system Of Prussia has not added one
whit to the security for social and political
order which it was, in governmental theory,
presumed to give. On tie other hand,
there is no country in the world where the
Socialists and Anarchists are numerically
90 strong-whers chaotic forces would
break loose 50 quickly were they not
checked by sn iron niEtarism. So We OBJ |
serve in every country that the inevitable
FIRST result Of education among the masses
is to awaken them to q fiery sense Of the
wrongs, either real or imaginary, under
which they are suffering"
But q great part Of the restIessnsss
and discount now arising is not
20 much due to the amount Of
education, a. to the kind Of
education. A false silly idea is abroad
hat some kinds of work Arehonorsble and
others are dishonorable. The idea is too
prevalent that upon the great highways to
necsss and honor men who labor with
hair hands do not walk. Thousands Of
usn who have merely education enough
o read large print and sense enough to ,
,aIk along the big roads, are rushing into .
life where they can never sue
ed and must ell the ranks Of the dis
opteuted. This tendency in education IN

youth that every legitimate calling in life is
honorable. and reminds them that real
honor depends not so much on the kind Of
work they do as upon how well they DO
that work. II such sentiments as these
were kept before the boys and girls at our
schools, there would be far less failures in
life, and fewer discontinued persons rush
ing into socialism.

SDecial Correspondence Of he Register.
WAsH1SGToN, D. c., April 4-The Re-
publican Senatorial Caucus Committee
consisting of Edmunds, Hale, Harrison,
Plumb, Plste Chase and Spooner has had
a spasm Of reform and retrenchment which
resulted in the dismissal of Mr.. G. +.
Cross, 9 Democrat Of West Virginia, who
has held position under the Sergeant-at,
Arms for several years. Mr.. Cross has
been one of the most useful and efficient
officers ever in the.employ of the Senate
and Col. CsDady, the Sergeant-st'Arms,
who is Republican, Recognizing the fact,
has done all be could in the way Of pro
test to prevent the action.
The history of the case, however, is not
brilliant interest. Employed in the War
Department is West Virginia Republican
known as Capt. Pipes Soon after the
Republicans gained control Of the Senate at
the beginning of the Forty seventh Congress
Pipes thought as Cross was from West
Virginia the place held BY him ought to
20 to West Virginia Republican, and
for more than two years has been endeav-
oring to secure the removal of Cross in the
hope that he would be appointed to fill the
vacancy.
Last summer the pressure on the Ser
gesn-ss-Arms was so great that be was in
duced to drop Cross from the rolls

THEY KNEW TOO MUCH

of Pipes alleged underhsud methods in his
effort to get Cross bounced, and it ia said
have iutimsted that they do not care to
employ q man who would stoop to this
level in the service. Then again it was
decided that if Cross place was to be filed
it could not be given to a West Vir-
GINA Republican for the reason that
the State Of West Virginia is represented in
the Senate by Democrats; naturally the
place would be given to some State which
sends Republican Senator to represent il,
the place being q good one and the caucus
committee being unable to agree which
Senator should have the appointment Of
the new man, they
CONCLUDED TO ABOLISH THE POSITION
and demand the removal of Cross on the
ground of retrenchmeDt and reform. So
Il will be seen that Pipes has been left. All
his work SgSinst Cross, which has been
very persistenta and bitlsT, has resulted in no
to himself. But to illustrate the
inconsistency of the excuse for dropping
Cross on the plea OF 'rstrenchment, it is
only necessary To say that there ia now on
the pay roll Of the Senate, g man who
holds position exactly of the same grade
TO that one which Cross held. This man

Since the arrival OF warm weather the
medical journals have come out in force
with hygienic rules. The leading medi-
cal journal of France has published q
pamphlet protesting against the extrava-
giant use of artificial mineral waters,
which, it sets forth, do the double dam
age of chilling the stomach, thus laying
the foundation for gastric catarrh, while
the limestone held in deposit in the car
donated waters finds its way to the kid
neys and eventually produces Bright's
disease. The pamphlet also protests
against ice-water as a provocative Of
catarrh in the stomach. 1t further says;
''Water should be drank cool, but not
iced, with the juice of quarter or half
q lemon in it. Mineral water should
always be swallowed slowly. 1t is not
the stomach which is dry, but the mouth
and throat. If you toss off a drink Of
water you throw it through your mouth
and throat into your stomach without
doing the former any good, while you
injure the latter by loading it with what
it does not require. Drink slowly, and
keep the water in your mouth for mo-
ment when you begin. Ii you work in a
hot room in hot weather tic a damp cloth
around your temples, and you will not
experience half the cravings for drink
vou otherwise would"

gelatine the safest of all explosives to

which render it entire y suitable for use

explodes with nearly twice the force of
dynamite 1t is the material used in the
projectiles for the new Maxim gun and
the new experimental war vessel De-
stroyer, which have so lately attracted
attention in New York. So sanguine
are some people that this explosive is to
revolutionize national warfare that the

A Big Gun Fired With Dynamite.

The New York Times describes test
made of Lieutenant Zalinski's pneu-
matte gun in New York harbor The enor-
nous piece of machinery, the bar ell of
which is sixty feet long, is designed to
throw 100 pounds of explosive from one
to three miles. The particular feature
of the gun is that the projcctile is made
to explode either upon contact with the
object or at any depth below the water
which may be required. Lieutenant Zal,
inski has for some time past been ex-
perimentng with the gun to get the
greatest results possible from the ex-
plosive. He uses the electric battery,
which enables him to obtain the highest
order of explosion. With his dry battery
TIE shell explodcs the moment that the
shot comes in contact with the water.
The time OF explosion is governed by the
sensitiveness of the battery. By his wet
battery the explosion is prolonged.
Ten empty projectilcs were fired from
the gun yesterday, with a pressure of
1000 pounds to the square inch, in the
direction of target twelve feet long by
five feet high placed In the Bay one mile
from Fort Lafayette and in the centre of
circle of barrels 300 feet round. The
average time required to fire the gun
after the word of command had been
given was one-tenth of second. The
average time required to reach the target
after the word of command had been
given was nine seconds All the pro-
jectiles struck the water within the circle
of barrels, which proved to Lieut.. Zalin-
ski that the gun answered the require
ments of Gen. H. L. Abbot, who main
tanned that 100 pounds of dynamite fired
within thirty feet Of an ironclad would
demOlish the ironclad. The fourth pro-
iectie struck a barrel. The missiles
went straight as an arrow through the
air, with a peculiar whining sound,
which could be heard at a considerable
distance. One or two of the projectiles
went over the target. They weighed
from 145 to 151 pounds
Lieutenant Zalinski then loaded pro-
jectile with 100 pounds of dynamite, and
put it in the gun The gentlemen ran to
the other end of the folt; the Board hid
themselves behind tree, and took sur
rcptitious peeps from time to time at the
arrangements. The projectle was fired.
1t struck the water without exploding.
Lieutenant Zalinski then loaded p O.
jectile with 58t pounds of dynamite. 1t
1t weighed 1929 pounds. 1t exploded as
it struck the water with loud noise,
sending up a column of water to con-
siderable height, and awakening every
echo that the vicinity contained. The
last shot, which was fired at an elevation
greater than any CT the former, went 2t
miles into the bay in % 7-1O seconds.

An Important Function Stimulated.

For some time the photographic

information about the use of oil upon
waves at sea. Reports furnished by
Captains from all parts of tho world have

and at the end Of the last calendar year
the reports for twelve months were
issued in pamphlet. The dissemina-

mariners that lives and property can be

of oil, for in some of the South street
