A Popular FallacH.

No greater humbug exists than the
fetch of foreign education that pos
sesses so many American mothers. A
pretty, blonde girl, just home after ten
years sojourn in Italy, France and Ger
many, is bewailing her ignorance of the
most commonplace matters, familiar as
A B G to young women over here, says
the Illustrated American. She positive
ly asserts that, except as regards the
languages and few trivial accomplish
ments, it is impossible to obtain thor
ough training on the continent. In Eng
land, where women's colleges flour
ish, 1t is different, but Dresden, Paris
and Florence hold out superlative at
fractions to the conventional parent,
who, scornful of American institutions,
feels her duty done If foreign tutors are
engaged for her sons and daughters.
Few are narrow enough to aepreciate
the benefits of European travel, but in
justice to children permit at least the
groundwork of their education to be
laid in their own country.

given an entertainment for tho benefit
of one of its numerous charities, and at
the end of the evening one of the gen.

A STANDARD SCHEME.
Tho Great Oil Monopoly After Valuable
Land in Ohio.

Land in Ohio.
PTTsBURe, June 1S.--St. Mary's res
ervoir in Mercer county, Ohio, is said to
be the largest artificial lake in the world,
its diminsions being nine miles by two to
four. The reservoir is situated in the
heart of the richest oil and natural gas
territory on the globe, as in the 25x30
square miles which makes its bed, wells
could be bored to produce millions OF
dollars worth of gas and oil.
A report from the oil regions intimate
that the Standard Oil people are about
to grasp this tremendous prize If posi-
BILE by buying up land on both sides,
when they will drain out a portion OF
the water to admit of boring wells.
The Standard has been leasing land
west of Celina and kCarthagenia. The
Company has already leased all the land
on the east side of tho reservoir near St.
Mary's. 1t is said they will dig a tunnel
and drain good deal of the water into
St. Mary's river.
The Standard people have already
drilled wells three hundred feet beyond
che high water mark Of last April.
The attention of the Ohio canal COM
missioners will also be called to the stu
