COMPULSORY EDUCATION,
knowledge Means Every Thing Essential
to a Community's Welfare


1t is now pretty well settled thata
certain percentage of parents will not
give their children an education unless
they are compelled to do so. 1t is also
pretty well settled that all children
should be made to 60 to school, We
started our free-school system on the
notion that educat ton for those who are
not able to get it is a charity but We
have come to the time when it is be-
lieved to be a public duty, not only to
place the possibility of going to school
within the reach of all, but to put all
within II " grip of the law and make
them go to aehool, This is done on the
plea of public necessity. Education Is
the safeguard of the State. 1t is not

DIGNITY OF LABOR.
why Honest Work Is an Honor, Net .
Degradation.

why Honest Work IL an Honor, Net
Degradation.
There are young men who are satisfied
with salary which merely feeds and
clothes them, rather than engage In
such labor as would afford them a re.
spectacle net income every year. Society
is building; the capitalist is the roof,
the merchant is the walls and the Ia
borer is the foundation. Remove the
roof. and the walls and foundation will
stand; remove both roof and walls, and
YOU still have the foundation upon
which to rebuild; but if you destroy the
foundation, the whole becomes an utter
ruin. The studious avoidance OF manual
labor by our young men, and by fathers
for their sons, is the curse OF this age,
and is the parent of destructive vices
among those upon whom the RESPONSE
bilities of social life must rest in the
future. No rich man educates his son
for any of the departments of manual
labor, but desires that his son shall
start where he stops. The poor man is
likewise ambitions that his son shall
escape the necessity of labor. Thus the
parents of this age are raising their
children to live without work. Labor is
regarded as disgrace. Whom do
fathers, both rich aud poor, wish their
daughters to marry, and whom do the
daughters themselves desire to marryp
The man who labors? No. A mechanic
may be good-looking, temperate, sensi-
BILE and thrifty, yet our girls will reject
him, for no other reason save that he Is
a mechanic. Many of the wives and
daughters of this day would blush with
shame if it were thought that
they went into the kitchen and
kneaded the dough and baked the
bread. Man was given body with in
geniously and wonderfully made mem
bers, and with four hundred muscles I'M
der the control of sovereign intellect
and an imperial will-force, to subdue
and govern all nature, animate and in
animate. And this is so manifestly
mans duty and destiny, that his health
and happiness depend in greatmeasure
upon it. There is more health and hap
piness among the laboring classes than
in any other department of human life.
This is Gods Endorsement of its honor
ableness and nobility. Which is the
more reputable, the producer or the
mere consumer-the drone or the work
ing-bee? Another reason why labor is
regarded as curse is that many sup
pose it prevents the cultivation of the
mind. There never was a greater mis-
take. Work. in developing the body,
ought to facilitate the mind in the &C
QUESTION of knowledge. Labor is both
the law and the condition of life, from
the Hottest to the lowest forms of ex-
istence. From God, who worl1eth ever
to inspire and uphold His creatures,
down through all the ranks, orders and
gradations of rational and irrational be.
ings to the little toiling masons who
build their coral reefs beneath the sun

the tropics-all labor to the obedience of
this primary law of life. Health of
body, heart conscience and mind are
the legitimate offspring of honest, man
ly and intelligent labor.-San Francisco

Interesting Things About Electricity in
Fish and Caterpillars.
Mr.. {. +. Holder, an authority on the
subject tells some interesting things
about electricity in animals. Referring
to the electric catfish which is found in
nearly all the rivers of Northern Africa.
he says: They are often put to a
curious use by the natives on the Old
Calabar river. When IA person is taken
sick he is placed in a tub or vessel con
tanning water in which several of these
fishes are swimming. the idea being that
the patient derives strength from the
unknown something" that is certainly
there. This shows that the electrical
cure is not original in this country. Tn,
most general use. however. to which this
cathsh Is put is in connection with in
tantS; the native mothers CONSIDERING
that their children obtain health and
vigor from being bathed in the water in
winch the fish have lived. Others place
their ot'springs in tub with tho
little electricians every dav. forcino
them to play with it, believing thatsu
a course will cause them to grow into
powerful men. As xH0raS of fifteen
inches in length, fresh from its native
element can give a shock equal to that
OF Leyden jar, the protests against
TINS mpanionShip are said to be Ioud
ana piercing. Electric insects have
been reported. Captain Blanev of the
british navy states that upon taking IN

south America. he received So powerful

THE DANGEROUS TEA-CUP.
Excessive Use Is Apt to Cause Prostitution
and Other Evils.


1t is a great misfortune that the popu-
lar name for person who abstains from
all alcoholic liquors is teetotaler; the
term has foStered the idea that tea is a
harmless beverage, and it is no doubt
true that the moderate use of well made
and not very strong tea is less harmful
than the habitual resort to any other
stimulant.
When, however, tea drinking ceases
to be the amusement of the leisure
moments of busy afternoon and is re-
sorted to in large quantities and strong
lnfusions as means of stimulating the
Tagging energies to accomplish the al
loted task, then distinct danger com
mences. A breakdown may ensue in
more than one way; not infrequently the
stimulus which tea in time fails to give
is sought in alcohol, and the atomic
tlatulent dyspepsia which the astringent
decoction made by long drawing induces
helps to drive the victim to seek tenn
porary relief in spirits, sal-volatile, or
even eau de cologne, which is at first
dropped on sugar and finally drunk out
of a wine glass.
In other cases. by ladies especially,
relief is sought from morphine and in a
predlsposed person the morphine habit
Is established with extraordinary rapid
lty. 1t has been said that as long as a
person takes stimulants simply for their
taste he Is comparatively safe, but as
soon as he begins to drink for the effect
then he is running into danger. This
Is perhaps to state the case for stimu-
lants rather too favorably, but if the
RUE were adhered to we should have
