TOO MUCH EDUCATION.

Manual Training Much More Useful Than
 the Ordinary College Course.
 A Gottingen professor, who is alarmed
 because a good brewer commands larger
 wages in Germany than a Greek profes-
 Sor, has written book to demonstrate
 that there is too much learning in the world, and that our educational methods must be reformed so as to appreciate the value of scholarship. He shows that there are now entered on the rolls of the | German universities 29, 900 students, and that fully one-half of these hopeful youths are doomed to poverty and dis appointment The Gottingen professor is right in his doleful prediction if these 29,000 young men are being educated for the ''gentlemanly professions in- stead of the more lucrative and more certain callings of industrial life But if these 29,000 young German college students had it in mind to turn their hands to manual labor when they left college they would not be hurt by the stock of learning they are accumulat- ing. A carpenter or a blacksmith or a shopkeeper is none tue worse for being scholar. The real trouble is in that false idea which is current that educa- tion disqualifies a person for manual pursuits, and that the educated man or woman must find station somewhere in the professions. Still, it is loss of time for young person to devote years to the study of the dead languages when the same period spent in a manual training school would give the prepara- tion required, and thus enable him to secure profitable employment immedi- ately upon leaving school. It has long been the fault of our educa- tional methods that there are too many captains and not enough privates being turned out from our schools and col leges. Now that it is coming to pass the privates are receiving more wages than the captains, the fault will correct it. self We have the evidence of this in the disposition to make manual train ing part of our common school system here in America. Manual training and technical education in mechanical pur- suits is being incorporated into nearly all of the schools of our American cities. Private enterprise has also taken hold of the subject. There is private insti- tuition of this kind in New York, which is well patronized, and whole graduates are in demand by master mechanics, as they make better workmen than are turned out by the loose apprenticeship | system.-St. Paul Globe.

never seen any thing superior to the little Cubans when mimicking their negro associates. Jokes were cracked between the lend men,, tambourine and bones were there, and the soft, mellow little voices esinging Southern melodies made as whole an entertainment worthy of a higher stage. I had seen Christys, Kelly & Leon's, Dan Bryant's, the San Francisco and Dockstader's minstrels, but none of them had the natural charm of that Cuban-darky troupe at Key West Bright and early on the follow ing morning these minstrels could be seen working at the cigar tables with faces so solemn as to preclude the idea of any sense of humor in their compost tion. The characteristics and tastes of different nations as smokers are as well known to the Key West manufacturer as to the retailer. For the English mar ket heavy, strong, richly-favored cigar is the favorite, while for the continent a mild, quick-burning one must be made. The United States consumes every kind of cigars, light and dark, large and small.-N. Y. Times.

GIGANTIC RESERVOIR.
A Dam Which at the Present Time Con. fines O,OOO, ,OOO, 900 Gallons of Water.

A Dam Which at the Present Time Con-
 fines 10000, 100000 Gallons of Water.
 The present dam of the Bear Valley Reservoir Company in San Bernadino was constructed in 1885, and is 50 feet high, 16 feet thick at the base, 3 feet at the capstone, and 300 feet in length. It is built into the bed rock at the bottom of the Bear Creek Canyon, and abutted into the solid rock on either side. The body of water confined by this dam cov- CTS l, ,965 acres to an average depth of 16 feet, and contains O,OOO, 900, OGO gallons. The engineer of the company, Mir. Frank E. Brown, is now in the East, but upon his return active steps will be commenced to construct a new and larger dam, the work upon which will be begun early next spring. The new dam will be located about 100 feet below the present one, so that the water will be confined by a double dam. It will be built into the bed rock, and be 12O feet in height. The width of its base will be S4 feet and its length $50 feet. The ca pacity of the reservoir will be increased nearly twenty-fOld, and will include a body of water 12 miles in length, miles in width, with an average depth of 10 feet The present dam with it's canals cost S165, 1000. The cost of the new one has not been estimated yet, but will probably reach nearly three-quarters of a million, and will store water sufficient to insure irrigating water for 100000 acres of land for three years.
 Prof. Davidson recently made thor ough examination of the watershed and catchment area of the reservoir site, and also examined the dam site, and in- dorsed very highly the feasibility of the new enterprise, stating that he never saw equal facilities for storing so vast a body of water at the same cost.
 The Bear Valley reservoir is at pres ent the largest irrigation reservoir in the United States, and the proposed in- crease in it's capacity will make it the largest of any kind.-Pacifc Lumber man.

A SomnambuIist in a CoaI-Bfn,

Over on the West Side is very hand some young woman who is afflicted with somnambulism. When she puts her pretty head upon the pillow at night she does not know what may befall her before she awal1es in the morning, and she worries great deal over this strange affiiction. Her people watch her as closely as possible, but she objects to any regular espionage during her sleep ing hours. One night not long ago she went to bed at the usual hour. Along about one a. m. her sister, who slept in an adjoining room, awoke and went in to see if the girl was all right. Her bed was empty and her door was open! The house was aroused and a search for La Somnambula'' was begun. She was found-but where? Curled up in little ball on the coal in the cellar coal-bin sleeping soundly. She was aroused quietly and went back to her bed, where she slept well until morning. In her dreams she must have imagined that coal cost more than good bed, and she was about ght.-Chicago Herald.

Tin Soldiers as Teachers.

Great artistic excellence has been Teached in Europe in the manufacture cf tin soldiers. A German military off, Ger has found it possible to represent military operations on a large scale by their means. He has collected 35,000 tin soldiers, belonging to every branch of the service and completely equipped, and has displayed them on platform in the Kempton barracks to illustrate a siege conducted in accordance with the best teaching of modern tactics The scenery and other appurtenances have all been supplied by toys in common use, and the picture is said to be marvel ously perfect. A French garrison, of course, occupies the fortress and natural ly is compelled to surrender.-London Times

KEY WEST CIGARS.
A Glimpse of the Tobacco Factories an
 Cuban Workmen.

A Glimpse of the Tobacco Factories and
 Cuban Workmen.
 A visit to the cigar factories of Key West would repay any tourist. The l finest leaf from Northwestern Cuba, from the Vuelta Abajo, Partidas and Vuelta Arriba is brought to our shores, where, under the same climate influ- ences, it is rolled into cigar shape. While novice can roll cigar that will smoke, considerable practice is neces- sary to become expert enough to earn $25 or S35 per week, because workmen are paid according to the number of ci- gether sufficient quantity of ma terial to form the filling of one cigar. Experience enables him to select leaves of uniform grade. This filling may also be made by machinery, but the best Havana brands are always rolled by hand. The filler is then wrapped in the inner cover, which is an OblOng piece of leaf, then rolled to bring it into proper shape, and then rolled in the outer cover or wrapper, which is so shaped as to inclose the whole in a cover, beginning at the thick end and running down to the fine point, where it is dexteropsly finished by twisting to point between the fingers. The cigar is then allowed either to dry naturally or the process is hurried by artificial heat.
 The finest brand of Havana cigars is the ''veguera, after which come the ''regalias." The former are made of the leaf when half dried, and no water is used, but the latter, or regalias, made from the dampened, dried leaf, are in no way superior to the Key West cigar made from the same leaf. While the word ''legitima" brands a Havana cigar as made in that city and of Cuban tobacco, the brand "Key West cigar" does not mean that the cigar was manufactured in Key West, because Tampa and Jacksonville, being in the same internal revenue district, are taking advantage of that fact by turning out 'Key Vest cigars, and it is for this reason that Key West wishes to have it's own separate district for the better protection of its brands of cigars. Tampa and Jacksonville have not the same climate as Key West and Cuba, and putting the cigars Of those two cities on the market as of "Key West" make injures that brand just as much as the California wines made in Chicago injure the reputation of the genuine brands from the Pacific slope.
 While it is all hustle and work at Key West during the day, after working hours it is singularly quiet town, The mild, soft evenings permit families to sit in the open air, and in strolling through the streets at night the lighted ends of cigars and cigarettes are so thick in front of the houses as to remind one of frefies. The little darkies and the children of the poorer classes of Cubans play together on footing of social equality.

CATARRH.
Catarrhal Deafness-Hay Fever-AA New
 Home Treatment.


 Sufferers are not generally aware that these diseases are contagious, or that they are due to the presence of living parasites in the lining membrane of the nose anC eustachian tubes. Microscopic research however, has proved this to be fact, an6 the result of this discovery is that simple remedy has been formulated whereby Catarrh, Hay Fever and Catarrhal Deafness are permanently cured in from one to three simple applications made at home by the patient once in two weeks.
 N. B.-This treatment is not snuff or an ointment; both have been discarded by reputable physicians as injurious.
