THE PUBLIC SCHOOL AN lNSPIRA-
TON FROM GOD.

EXTRACT from Prof. e. ii. Aidtrnaa'as Address1
The American public school is, l
believe, an inspiration from God to
enable people dedicated to the prin-
ciple of self-government and the
equality of human rights to maintain
these principles in the building up of
their civilization. The child of q
monarchy is educated to become a
good subject. The American child is
educated to become good sovereign.
Man is more than an ANIMAL In the
daring language of the Hebrew Scrip
lures he is declared to have been made
in the image of God. Certain it is
that he possesses tremendous faculties.
These faculties, if undeveloped, are
worthless and he is said to ignorant.
If developed they are powerful and
he is educated. Therefore education
is the development of power, not the
possession of tscts. An ignorant man
is an abject slave to intelligence.

Toast.

Because people use the same words, it
does not follow that they mean the same
thing. The word partridge, for example,
means one bird in New England and
another at the south, and the significance
of even SO common term as toast ap-
pears to be subject to wide fluctuations.
On the second day out from Fort Smith,
says Col. Marcy, we halted for the night
ct respectable looking farm house, and
my New York companion readily OBJ
tanned from the hostess a promise to
make nice dish of toast and cup of tea.
In due course supper was announced,
and we seated ourselves at the table.
The dishes before us consisted of fried
bacon floating in grease, some corn
bread in the shape of hand grenades, and
a quantity of glutinous, half baked hot
biscuit, neither of which seemed calcu-
lated to tempt the appetite of the gentle
man from New York, who called for the
toast.
The landlady replied that she had it
on fryin, and she lowed it would soon
be done"
Capt Mcclellan and myself exchanged
significant glances, but my friend from
New York appeared not to appreciate
the joke, and inquired what she meant
by frying toast. She assured him it was
all right, as he would soon see for him.
self
When it came on the table, it appeared
that she had taken the loaf, cut it in
two parts, placed them in pan, and
fried them in grease for about half an
hour.
My friend did not seem to relish this
method Of cooking, and explained to the
hostess in detail the proper method of
making toast, whereupon she said, "Oh,
see; you want burnt bread. / thought
you wanted toast. "-Y outh's Companion.

Clear the Way

Without loss of time when the intestine

ton, chronic or temporary. 1t should be
borne in mind that this ailmept is prone
to become lasting and obstinate, and
breed other and worse complaints. Hos
letters Stomach Bitters is the precise
remedy to remove the obstruction effectu-
ally, but without drenching or weakening
the blockaded bowels, a consequence al
ways to be apprehended from the use of
violent laxatives, which are among the
most pernicious of the cheap nostrums
swallowed by the credulous and misin-
formed. The fat of experience and of the
medical faculty, sanction the claims of
this standard aperient. Not only as u
source of relief and permanent regularity
to the bowels, liver and stomach, but as q
means of remedying and preventing kid
ney and bladder troubles, and fever and

Norton Centur. injured internally, Milton
Boerstlers, youngest son of the owner of
the farm, badly injured internally. Joseph
