EDUCATIONAL IMPORT.

THE question of introducing culinary in- struction into the public schools of Chicago is being agitated.
 IN the college and schools in connection with the Free Church of Scotland Mission at Madras there are eighteen hundred students.
 ALoNzO STEELE, of Grinnell, Ia., has given $20, GOO to endow the chair of mathematics and natural philosophy of Iowa College, the chair to be called in memory of his daugh- ter the Myra Steele" chair.
 REFORM IS the watchword at Harvard. The police have seized all the liquors in one of the college clubs, and now comes the faculty and dismisses several students who were caught in their rooms playing poker. THE average expense of the Cornell grad uating class of 127 members through the course was $575 year; highest, $2, 800, and lowest, $250. The two extremes must have represented a great variety in living, and especially in amusement.
 IN 1885 Germany spent for the education of her people, 40,900, GOO; England, $36, ,O0O,- GOO; France, $15,000, ,0o0; Austria, 5000, 900, | and Russia, $5, 100000. The United States in that year spent $1O0 ,0OO, 900 for education or as much practically as the five nations combined.
 | AMERICANS have the good habit of going to college. It is said as to the learned na- tions, that in this country one man in every 200 takes college education; in Germany 1 one in every 213; in England one in every | 500, and in Scotland one in every 500. The 1 grade of general intelligence iS higher 1n the United States than in any other country l on the globe.

 "WAIT till my spurs grow out" sang ann bilious young Shanghai as he ducked his head into a tomato can to escape the perse- cutions of the 'ruler of the roost."
 MINIsTER-'My dear brethren, in this warm, oppressive weather, 1 can eX Xcuse little drowsiness during my sermon, but do wish you would try to keep awake while the collection is being taken up."
 HE was loath to go. ''It isn't so awfully late yet is it, Laura?'' he asked, anxiously "No, George," she replied, 'it's early. Papa won't begin yelling at the hired girl to get up for more than an hour yet"
 'Do YOU think I could mold public opin- ion?n asked an aspiring young politician of veteran in the profession. Perhaps you night" said the other; ''some of the stories you introduced in your speech seemed lit tie moldy."
 II NEVER can be more than a sister to you," said a buXom widow, tenderly, to an old bachelor who had proposed. 'Ah, madam, yes you can," he responded, gal lantly, II am not man to lose hope.' 'Yes, but can not" she persisted. "But," he said, ''you have daughters you may yet be my mother-in-laW."
 THE venerable wife of celebrated physi- l clan, one day casting her eye out of the window, observed her husband in the l funeral procession of one of his patients, at | which she exclaimed: II do wish my hus- band would keep away from such process sions; it appears too much like tailor car | rying home his work"
 A NERVOUS and somewhat excitable dea, con, after talking for some time in meet 1 ing at his church, finally said: And not one tit or jottle of His word shall fail.' Noticing the smiles on the faces of his audi ence and conscious of his blunder, he at l tempted to mend matters by saying: ''No l mean not one tottle or jit."
 "MANMA," said city girl, just return ing from visit to Maryland farm ''you are always talking about nice country milk and how much better and richer it is than the milk you get in the city, but I think you are mis taken.'' 'I don't think l am,'' replied the mother. "Well, I know you are, for they used to water the COWS twice day while was at Aunt Ann's." The poor mother went upstairs and shed a few scaldins | tears.

LITERARY EXTRACTS.

A SHEET of yellow paper placed on tho wall over the desk is said to afford res to the eyes of writers.
 THERE is said to be popular dime novel, ist who has killed one million Indians-in his stories.
 TWENTY FIVE years ago only fifteen wom- en were employed in the whole country as editors. Now two hundred find employ ment in New York alone.
 THE first volume of Peter the Greats cor respondence, edited by Count Tolstoi, con- talns 1,OO0 pages and 402 letters and docu- ments referring to the period between 16 and 1701.
 UPWARD of twenty thousand letters of Peter the Great have been gathered from all parts of Europe, and are to be published in ten large volumes. They are to be edited by Count Tolstoi. =
 MIR. GLADSTONE received an hOnorarium of 100 guineas for the manuscript of his last essay from an American magazine. The sage of Hawarden has got higher pay from American authors than any other writer.
 M. GREW, late President of France, is busily engaged in writing his memoirs, cov ering the leading events in French history from 1S4S to 1886. It is said that publisher is already negotiating for their simultane- ous publication in London and New York. THE largest publication in the United States is the monthly volume, big as an un- abridged dictionary, in which the patents for each month are described. Every large library in the country receives these vol umss, and it is by searching them, aided by an index, that one learns what has been | done in this country in any given line of in- vention.
 A WEALTHY young man of Chicago aspir- ing to authorship short time since sent a manuscript to an Eastern magazine with a 1 S100 check attached for the purpose of in- suring it's publication. The same was re- 1 turned with the following note: Dear sir: | We regret exceedingly being compelled to return the inclosed MSS, but we are prompt l ed to this action by the fear that your check is as worthless as your story. Very respectfully ---.'
 1 So LITTLE is known of the personal or private history of Moliere that any detail l now discovered attracts attention in French literary society. There has recently been | found at Fontainebleau a contract of sale | signed by Moliere's father, Jean Poquellin l the name so spelled. It is dated May 29 l 1881 CWhen Moliere was a little over nine | years of age), and it has to do with the
 supply of furniture for the royal troops.
 THE Manesse manuscript presented to the | Biblotheca Palatina, at Heidelberg, by the | late Emperor Frederick is said to be very l precious. It consists of love songs of the
 fourteenth century, and there are 429 pages | of parchment, richly ornamented, and con | taining 1000 verses, by 14O poets. It was | placed in the Bibliotheca Palatina, at Hei

Let wool ill free and the South Coventry mill, and other mills which have shut down for the same reason, would start up again and furnish steady employment for the hands that are now treated to periodic doses of idleness,.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1888-08-30
WAGES AND HIGH TAXES.

The question of wages in connection with the tariff is always pertinent one, and the workingman, who is the one most affected by tariff taxation, is much inter ested in its consideration. The claim made by republican organs that wages are made higher by protection is not true, as is shown by reason and experience. If the tariff was the sole regulator of wages we should expect to see labor command high CT prices in highly protected Germany, France and Austria than in free trade Eng land, and we should see a more uniform rate throughout highly protected America. The opposite is the fact; in England wages are 50 to 50 per cent higher than on the continent, and they vary as much in the different states of America. And the con dition of the wage earners of England is very much better than that of the conti- mental workmen; they are better housed, better fed, better clothed, more intelli- gent and generally more comfortable. That this is so is in itself sufficient to prove that high tariff does not necessa- rily make high wages and comfortable homes.
 There are some things, as Senator Sher- man said, which laws cannot do, and one of them is to fix the rate of wages. This depends, as MT. Sherman says, on the in exorable law of supply and demand. The fact that wages vary even in protected in dustries shows that the skill of the work h 4o T., ployer is a leading factor in the regulation of wages. American workmen are better paid than English workmen because they are more productive, and consequently more valuable to the employer. MT Blaine places the productivity of the American workman at 2 to 1, and Mulhall goes even further and makes it four times greater. It pays then to give an American operative $2 day where his English com- petitor gets $1, for the reason that he will produce double as much as the English man. This fact it is that makes the labor cost of almost every article made in the United States lower than in other coun tries, even while the rate of wages is higher It is fact that, according as the vote o1 wages is higher, the cost of production k lower. Our workmen are paid more be cause they earn more than their Englisl rivals. The crowded labor marts of Eng land and the continent give a supply al ways in excess of the demand, and thi excess of supply it is that keeps tn wage mercury from mounting upward
 The law of supply and demand will al ways be the chief element to regulat wages, and his superior productive capa city will, while it continues, make the de mand greater for the American workman labor. The more workmen study this mat ter the more they will become convince that high taxation has more effect on thei cost of living than on their rate of wages General Logan, who will be acknowledge 8 good republican, understood this whe he said in a speech delivered in the senat in 1870: "When gentleman stands upo this floor and tells me that this high, thi extraordinary high tariff is for the protec tion of the laboring men, tell him that
 do not understand how he can possibl substantiate such theory"
