Little Thought of Education.

THERE seems to be very little thought of education among the young boys of this place. Some of them at tend school, but many of them are doing nothing toward developing their minds and preparing themselves for future lives of usefulness. Many of them are working fer from Sl0 to S2o a month; they never read, not even the newspapers. They seem to think that to be chic" makes the man. This is an inexhaustible subject. A book of advice could be written from it: sn we will cut short what we have to say. Had we our life tu live over again we would go to school every day, we would not play hooky," f-ign sickness nor absent oursef from tie school room under any circumstances, unless absolutely unavoidable. We would diligently apply ourself and use every endeavor to acquire knowledge aud educatiou--tle foundation of every mans happiness and fortune. This is what we would do, not what we have done. Why not the boys profit by our experience. or by the experiences of every man who las neglected his op- portunitiesy The Sl0 or $20 may all- pear nice now. but sooner or later you will become painfully aware of the fact that the time spent to secure it would have been worth ien-folh to you in the scl,ool room. The days of ''hooky' will rise mp before you as big golden treasures and you will want to recall them. The days you spent feignlng sickness will be remem- bered with regret, and you will long to be IS physically whole as you were then. We only wish we had not played 'hooky" so much; perhaps we could paint thls picture in such horrid colors that 1t would cause you to abandon your ideas of manhood, give up your and 10 o-cent positions and drive you to the school room-the proper place for you, the simple Simon, self-conceited creatures that you are-MoDroe County Sun.

"Siow Up "

Some of the worst tempered people of the day are religious people, from the fact that they have no rest. Add ed to the necessary wcrk of the world they superintend two Sunday schools, listen to two sermons. and every night have meetings of charitable and Chris tian institutions. They look after the beggars, hold conventions. speak at meetings, wait on ministers, serve as committeeman. take all the hyper criticisms that inevitably come to earn est workers, rush up aud down the world aud develop their hearts at the expense of all tho other functions They are the best men on earth, and Satan knows it. and is trying to kill thcnas fast as possible. They know that it is as much a duty to take care of their health as to go to the sacra- meni. It is as much sin to commit suicide with the sword of truth as with T pistol. Onr earthly life is a treas- ure to bc guarded. It is an outrageous thing to die when We ought to live. There is no usc in firing up a Cunarder to such speed that the boiler bursts in mia- Atlantic, when at a moderate rate 1t might have reached the decks at Liverpool. It is a sin to try to do the work of thirty years in five years.- falnlare

Ncwrpap~r Readers.

Mir. George w. Childs has been speaking of journalism. Tn his opin. ion no increase is needed in the size of daily journals, and the great Sun day journals are perhaps too large. Mir. Childs' views are sound. The average reader of daily journal will rarely cover exceeding six or seven columns. The reader who covers twice that number belongs to the small minority. and the reader who goes through it's pages is the rare exception. Many who desire to be considered readers confine them selves to department, and really know very little about the contents ot their daily journal Nine-tenths of the contents of Il paper escape them; yet it is the experience of men who make newspapers that this class, practically non-readers, furnishes tie most severe critics of journalism The individual prone to burst out with: The newspapers have not u thing in them,' will generally prove person who reads neither news papers nor anything else. The real reader can always find something to entertain and instruct, and unlike the severe critic, is not disposed to hold the newspaper responsible for ignorance and lack of desire To know what is going on in the world.-Ar- kansas Gazette.

What Is IL?

The poet Teunysol can take a worthless piece of paper and by writ ing a poem on it make it worth a small fortune. That's genius.
 Vanderbilt can write few lines on sheet of paper and make it worth five million dollars. That's capital,
 The United States can take an ounce and Il quarter of gold and stamp upon it the physiognomy of liber- ty and make 1t worth twenty dollars. That's money.
 A mechanic can take material worth five doll;g{S and make 1t into \ watch
 srth orsty Rn.lred dollars. That $ skill. A ladpn tn purchase . very pretty Bonnet fJFthree dollars and seventy five cents, but she prefers one that that costs twenty-seveu dollars. That's foolishness.
 \ merchant takes an article worth seeenty-tve cents and sell it for Il dollar. That's business
 The ditch digger works 10 hours q day and shovels mp two or three tons of dirt for two dollars. That's labor.
 TIE editor of this paper might keep on enlarging his paper until it would require three weeks to read it. and yet the average two and three years delinquent would continue to read it and not pay d cent. That s gall.

The public have little appreciation of tho value of we'll conducted local newspapers. Their offices of beneG- cence to the community are so com mon that they arc untold. but none the less no town or city can advance without its newspapers are in the forefront of advancement. They are tEe life of the community. They must lead in every e.fort to invite capital. enlarge industries and enthuse the people in the use of their advantages. The local newspaper is the one news paper that should command the patronage ol the community. If only one journal can be taken in family it should be the one published at home. There Is now little excuse for any person of ordinary intelligence not taking Il city daily with the local newspapers, since the best can be had for nominal cost; but there should ever be the hearticst accord and sympathy between the local newspa- per and the community.-Philadel- phia Times.

Half n Million Dollars.
NEW YORK, June II. The well-known
summer resort, Sea Bright, N. j., was
| visited by disastrous fire last night,
which reduced to ashes the larger por-
tion of the town. AS far as can be es-
timated about 400 buildings were
burned, but whether there was any loss
of life can not be stated as yet. Several
hundred families have been rendered
homeless. The total loss will reach at
least $500, 900. The fire broke out in a
blowing along the coast at the time, the
flames spread rapidly. In a remarlsa-
bly, short time, a whole block of build
ings was burned.
There is but small fire department
in the town and help was telegraphed
for from Long Beach and Asbury Park.
BY the time this assistance arrived,
large portion of the southern part of
Sea Bright was in flames. Women and
children ran through the streets CRYING
and wringing their hands in frantic
manner, while the men aided the fire.
men in attempting to check the flames.
The flames at this time made such rapid
headway that in many instances the in
mates Of buildings barely had time to
escape with their lives.
Among the buildings burned were the
post Office, the Sea Bright and Poppen-
gers hotel, the Methodist church, the
school house and buildings occupied by
the New Jersey Telephone Company
and the Elberon Steamboat Company.
Part of the Octagon hotel was burned.
Many of these hardy people lost their
all and are homeless and penniless.
Many of the wealthy cottagers and the
hotels which escaped destruction have
thrown open their houses to the suffer
