that the training influence of sacrifice should be wholly lost. The pupil should always be made to feel that he has in some way earned that which he has acquired. If tuition itself be made free if he should be allowed the use of books without cost in money, 1t should nevertheless appear to him that he has in 6 measure earned his increase of knowledge by the sacrifice of some of the pleasures which his less ambi- tious companions enjoy. Nothing of value comes without labor. The pupil who is assisted by his teacher to pass & creditable examination gains only an empty honor. Unless he applies himself to his studies and earns for himself the knowledge the school Is intended to impart, he carries nothing away with him save & useless certifi- cate or diploma. The pupil Of the best school of modern times Is in this respect no better oil than those of earlier days who became great men by home studies carried on under great difficulties. Each must earn by his own exertions the knowledge that gives him power. But where one of former days had the pluck and energy required to overcome the obstacles in his way, a score may now pursue their studies. The crops may not be as good, but the acreage is increased. This Is the answer to the question whether the self-made men of to-day who seek to smooth the way for their successors make mistake in so doing. They do not. The training value of hard struggle is recognized, but It's blight. ing influence is also acknowledged. To the few who manage to conquer all difficulties the struggle may be ap advantage, but where one succeeds hundreds fail. The modern idea is to made the path easier for the hundreds, and though the leaders should lose something of force, or attain less dis tinction, the general good will be pro- noted by wise increase of educational opportunities.

Thought It Was Meant for Him.

DotrOik Free fro@a.
 Just before the train going east left Buffalo a heavy -set, red headed man with . grip-sack got into . dispute with an engineer at the door of the baggage room. I did not hear the first of 1t, but did hear the fat man say:
 "If it wasn't right here, I'd lick youi"
 al wish you'd try iti" replied the other.
 "I'll try it soon enough. Pm going to lay for you, old fellow!"
 "And Tll lay for youl Mind, now, what l tell you I'll do you up before you are many years older l"
 The train started and rushed along for fifty or sixty miles, and then some thing gave way on the engine and we came to 6 stop. It was eleven o'clock at night, and the brakeman who ran back fell into 6 ditch and broke his leg and lantern at the same moment. Ten minutes later an accommodation train came booming down upon us. Its engineer saw the danger in time to slow up, but the locomotive struck the last car with force enough to fling 1t of the rails and turn 1t across the track. One of the first passengers to get out was the red headed man, and one of the first men he saw was the engineer whom he had quarreled with. They looked at each other for few seconds, and then the traveller put his thumb to his nose and sneeringly ex- claimed:
 "Oh, you will do me up, will you Had a nice little plan, didn't you, but it didn't work! l expected you'd be up to this, and had the first berth at the other end Sayl Don't you feel rather fiat?"

MAKING EDUCATION GENERAL
Baltimore Sun.

In the educational developments of the day one of the strong tendencies is towards a system that shall make the pathway of the student particularly easy and encourage him to effort by promising him a reward seemingly out of proportion to the amount of his own exertion. In art and mechanics he is to get by few months applica-
 ti0n that which his father before him
 toiled for years to attain. It is not necessary at this time to consider whether this can be done it is suffi-
 cient to ask whether such & result would be desirable even though it should prove to be attainable. A hard struggle has its educational value, as has been shown in the lives of many
 men who have reached eminence mainly through their own exertions and in spite of difficulties encountered in their youth. To remove such diffi-
 culties and make the requirement. of a practical education easy to all is the dream of many philanthropists who have themselves passed through a hard experience. They look back upon apparently wasted years of efforts, and think how much might have been saved to them if they had opportunities for reading, for hearing lectures and for attending school, such as are provided for the youth of the rising generation. Those of them who, in spite of their own hard experience, have kept fresh within them the love of mankind, are disposed to do what they can to further educational efforts and endow schools or otherwise help to make easy the requirement of knowl- edge. Do they make 6 mistake iH this7 That is an important question, for upon the answer depends the de-
 gree of encouragement that should be given to new enterprises for providing education for the young, especially in the large cities. Han individual alone was to be considered, it might be true in particular cases that the training brought about by poverty and difi-
 entities would offset the advantages which freer means of education would afford. That is to say, young man ofstrong physique, ,indomitable energy and the unknown factor genius, might be made better by misfortune and the necessity of & hard struggle to gain an education. But for one such there are ninety and nine who would fall by the wayside. It is for these rather than for the exceptionally gifted man that schools are to be provided and the way smoothed towards the attainment
 of knowledge. The tendency of mod ern educational movements is to put on . higher plane the whole body of the people. If successful the few mountains may not seem 90 high be-
 cause the general elevation has been raised, but . greater good will be accomplished. But it is not necessary nor deairnble fin any educational schoma

He Got It.
Boston Journal.

Among the passengers on & western train recently was 8 woman very much overdressed, accompanied by a bright looking nurse girl and a self. willed, tyrannical boy of about three years.
 The boy aroused the indignation of the passengers by his continued shrieks and kicks and screams and his vicious ness toward his patient nurse. He tore her bonnet, scratched her hands and finally spat in her face without a word of remonstrance from the mother.
 Whenever the nurse manifested any firmness the mother chided her sharply. Finally the mother com- posed herself for & nap, and about the time the boy had slapped the nurse for the fifth time, wasp came sailing in and flew on the window of the nurses seat. The boy at once tried to catch 1t.
 The nurse caught his hand and said coaxingly:
 "Harry mustn't touch. Bug bite Harry"
 Harry screamed savagely and began to kick and pound the nurse.
 The mother, without opening her eyes or lifting her head, cried out sharply:
 "Why do you tease that child so, Mary. Let him have what he wants at once"
 "But, ma'am, it's a."
 "Let him have it, say"
 Thus encouraged, Harry clutched at the wasp and caught it. The scream that followed brought tears of joy to the passengers eyes.
 The mother awoke again.
 "Mary," she cried, "let him have it P
 Mary turned in her seat and said, confusedly:
 "He's got 1t, ma'ami"

A CHALLENGE TO THE WORLD.
Good Positions -0oo1 Salaries--Prac l. cal Book-keeping--Lightning Calcu-
 latons--F Fast Money Counting.

Jennings Business College, Nash vile, Tenn, though yet in its infsncy, has on its register more than six hun. dred students from seventeen states and territories. Ninety per cent. of these have secured good positions in locali- ties scattered from New York to Mex ico, and from Washington territory to Florida. Many of these young men are receiving salaries from $500 to $l 300 per annum.
 The students of this school are taught not only practical book keep ing and commercial usage, but arc also taught to calculate interest by the shortest rule ever discovered, and by this rule many of them have been able to get the interest at six per cent. per annum inside of five minutes on one hundred examples of $1 900 each the time to run in each case was years, months, and days, and no two periods of time alike; this is at the rate of three seconds to the example.
 The principal of this school having had experience as bank teller, teaches his students the art of rapid money counting. The rule is to take pack age amounting to $500, composed of thirty mine bills as follows: Twenty bills in 5's, ten bills in 10's, five bills in 20's and four bills of sos, then se- cretly remove one of the bills, either a five, 6 ten, twenty, or fifty, and re- quire the student to count the packa twice correctly in succession, taking the slowest time of the two counts for a record. Many of the students have accomplished this in 10 seconds, and one of them in 9A seconds, now, there fore, believing this time to be extra ordinary, I CHALLENGE the students of any other business college In America Cor out of iD to equal this time and I CHALLENGE any bank teller in America Cor out of it) to beat the time one sec- Ond l also CHALLENGE the students of any other business college, or auy per- son who has not attended this school, to equal the time in interest calcula- tions above mentioned. A copy of this has been mailed to the business colleges and bank tellers throughout the country.

WHEN BABY SOULS SAIL OUT.
BY ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.

When from our mortal vision Grown men aAd yemen go. To sail strange seas elysian. And know what spirits know, think of them as tourists Tn some sun-g1lded cline, Mong happy sights and dear delights We all shall And in time. But when a child goes yonder. And leaves it's mother here. Its little feet must wander, It seems to me, in fear. What paths of Eden beauty. What scenes of peace and rest Can bring content to babes that went Forth from a mothers breast? Tn palace gardens lonely A child astray will moan. And weep for pleasures only Found In it's humber home. It is not won by splendor Nor bought by costly toys; To hide from harm in mothers arm Makes all its sum of joys. It must be, when the baby Goes journeying off alone. Some angel Mary, maybsl. Adopts it as her own. Yet when child iS taken Whose mother stays below, With weeping eyes through paradise seem to see 1t go. With harpS of angels trying To drive away its fear, I seem to hear 1t crying. ''I want my mamma herel l do not court the fancy,
 It is not based on doubt It is a thought that comes unsought When baby souls ss,l out.
