Abuse of a Word.

There is no term which is more abused than the word practical" It is made to mean anything and everything, and those who are the most rabid in insisting upon it that theirs is the only orthodox and correct definition are the ones who abuse it the most and lower it most ef- fectually. They narrow it down until it is the synonym of imperfection and incom- pleteness; until it represents crude, blum dering rule-of-thumb methods. To &C., cept the most frequently given definition of the word, it would be applied to the rude methods of navigation of five cen turies ago instead of to the superior and successful systems of today.
 The tentative coast navigation of the Phoenicians would be called practical, and the scientific, systematic, everyday plan adopted by the ocean racers and the ocean beasts of burden, which run in 8 set course and leave and arrive by g predetermined time table, would be deemed theoretical" How many sins are committed in the name of ''practi. cal" matters and practical doctrine!- New York Continent

After time 1t was learned that he had been hote waiter; this vocation he pursued during the summer months, and returned to his studies in the winter. He was never quite able to forget his calling, and wher he was suddenly aroused from reverit would cry: -' - 4
 Coming. sir! coming" r<
 The. other mysterious student was never seen outside the class room except at full gallop. He ran to his seat fol recitation, and after it was over dashed away like racehorse.

A balloon ascension at the expositi

balloon ascension at the exposition grounds in Detroit last Saturday after noon ended in a tragedy. George Hogan, the Ann Arbor @ronaut, made the ascen- sion, performing the while on the trapeze
 When 1000 feet from the earth he lost his grip on the trapeze bar. The crowd did not seem to comprehend the accident until the doomed man had almost reached the ground. The body shot through the air with frightful velocity, head down. ward, coming in contact with the side- walk. So great was the force of the inn pact that the two-inch blanks were broken and splintered. Not bone in the body escaped breakage. Hogan leaves 8 wid- ow and one child. The victim was a brother of the Professor Hogan who made an ascension in Campbell's air ship in Brooklyn 8 couple of years ago and never returned. The latter made an ascent at the Stafford Springs fair the autumn be- fore his death, and was engaged for the fair of the following autumn. George Hogan gave an exhibit last fall at the Sturbridge fair. ...

We are often solicited to assist in disposing of these farms. It is not an easy, every day mat ter to sell farm outright. Now, on the other hand, there are parties who own properties in the adjacent cities who de- sire to get into the country. They can- not do so unless an exchange is affected. If our friends about are so anxious to leave to enter larger places which others are equally anxious to quit, why can't they see the feasibility of exchanging properties? This can be done in fair and square way, and the desire of each party gratified. Please see advertisement.
