EASY METHODS OF EDUCATION.
Hsrper's. for November.

Harper's, for November.
The notion appears to be spreading that
there must be some way by which one
can get good intellectual outfit without
much personal effort. There are many
schemes of education which encourage
this idea. If one could only hit upon the
right electives" he could become a
scholar with very little study, and with
out graphing with any of the real diff
cultieS in the way of an education. Ii IS
not more a shortcut we desire. but a
road of easy grades, with a locomotive
that will pull our train along while we sit
IN palace car at ease. The discipline to
be obtained by tackling an obstacle and
overcoming it. we think of small value.
There must be some way of attaining
the end of cultivation without much la
Dor. We take readily to proprietary
medicines. IL Is easier 10 dose with
these than to exercise ordinary prudence
about our health. And we readily believe
the doctors of learning when they as
sure us that we can acquire new Ian
guage by the same method by which we
can restore bodily vigOr; take one small
patent-rght volume IN SIX easy lessons,
without even the necessity of shaking
and without regular doctor, and we
shall know the language. Some one else
has done all the work for us, and we
only need to absorb. II IS pleasing to
see how this theory Is getting to be uni
versally applied. All knowledge can be
put into a kind Of pemican, so that we
can have 1t condensed. Everything
must be chopped up. epitomized. put in
short sentences, and italicized. And we
have primers for science, for history. so
that we can acquire all the information
we need in this world in a few hasty
bites. Ii is an admirable saving of time
saving Of time being more important
in this generation than the saving of our
selves.

A THOUSAND YEARS SUPPLY.


A lumber pile made Of boards, each
/ 100 feet long and feet in width, would
/ be an unprecedented sight in this coun-
try, but a gentlemen recently returned
! from a visit to the coast of the North
! Pacific ocean, says that piles of timber
such as that are common at the mills on
| Puget Sound. Boards 100 feet long
and 6 feet wide, without a knot in
them" ne says, ARE common cuts from
the gigantic fir trees Of the Puget Sound
forests. These trees grow to the enor-
nous height of go feet and the forests
are 50 vast that although the saw mills
have been ripping jG0,000,000 feet of
lumber out Of them every year for ten
years, the spaces made by these tremen-
dous inroadS seem no more than garden
patches.
Puget Sound has 800 miles Of shore
line, and all along this line and extend
ing thence on both sides miles further
than the eye can see is one vast and al
most unbroken forest Of these enormous
trees. There is nothing like it anywhere
else on tn Pacific coast. An official es-
innate places the amount of standing
timber in that area at 100000, 600, 600
feet, or a thousand years supply even
at the enormous rate the timber is now
being felled and sawed. The timber
belt covers 1900. coo acres Of Washing
ton, an area equal to the states of Yer
mont, Massachusetts, Connecticut and
New Hampshire The markets for the
Puget Sound lumber are entirely foreign
being in South America, Australia, Cen
trail America and the Pacific ocean
islands.

It is said that cattle were never so
plentiful as at the present time. Upon
the theory of overproduction that condi-
ton would account for the low prices
now prevailing. We have an idea that
inadeGuacv in the volume OF currency in
circulation has as much to do with pres
ent prices as has the supply of cattle.
Double the amount of money in circula-
ton and the prices of all commodities
would be advanced - 10 30 per cent.

THATKINGMAN INCIDENT.

From the Lcader-Courer.
I'm last Sundays EAGLE appeared a
special dispatch from this place stating
that when Jerry Simpson arrived in
town he was met at the depot by one
Robert Bales, a notorious jointist of this
place. Since that time, without any
reason for it whatsoever, some of the ca
lamity leaders have taken pains to circu-
late the report that the editor of this pa
per sent the dispatch. 1t is absolutely
false. We neither sent the dispatch, nor
do we know who did, and the one who
started the report, as well as those who
repeat it. lie most wilfully.
But this report naturally led us to in
Quire into the facts. which we find to be
these: jerry Simpson arrived on the
freight from Patt, in the morning: Viii
lis Brown, Rut Bales and James Nickel
were at the depot and walked up street
with him. Whether they were the COM
mittee appointed to receive, we know
not. but they were there and accOmpa-
MED him from the depot. Although
we had nothing whatever to do with the
dispatch. investigation proves it to be too
nearly true to justify any decided kick
about it.

that in these states the proportion of
