EDUCATION AND NATURE.
The Province Of Training and Culture fol
the Young.

The Province of Training and Culture for
the Young.
The girls who go to private schools
are, as a rule. from families of the least
moderate wealth. But in our fluctuat-
ing country this is no proof that they
will go through their lives without feel
ing the necessity of doing something at
some time for their own support or the
support of others. What that will be
we can not tell, for the march of inven-
ton is so swift that if we should pre-
pare the girl for any one industry, she
might find herself unable to make her
living out of it when the need should
come. She will probably be, we may
say, wife and a mother. But if
we assume this, we still do not
know how to fit her for the duties
of those positions in definite way
The best thing still is to make the most
of woman we can out Of her. and hen
to trust the disciplined woman we have
fashioned to answer for herself the de-
mands to come to her in the misty flu
ture, which she will see, and which she
can judge, but which we shall not see,
and which no man can foretell.
The province of education is to lift
the individual out of her haturalness,
and not to allow her to remain in it.
All education is this. The child would
prefer to take her food, in her fingers,
for it is natural to her to do so; but ed
ucation takes her in hand, and makes
her eat In the way not of ma
ture, but of civilization. There is
no natural way of education; it
is all completely unnatural, and
must be SO. The natural child protests
against discipline of whatever kind,
ard seeks to follow her cravings; but
out of this fools paradise-whichw would
be no paradise at all, as her teacher
knows-she must be driven, and out of
it she must be kept though 1t be with a
flaming sword.
1t may be said that the natural man
washes up on the shores of knowledge
as the shipwrecked Irishman on the
desert island, exclaiming: 'Is any gov
eminent established in this country?
| If so, I'm agin i'll" This not too strong
| ly illustrates the opposition made by the
natural mind to the trsining necessary
for it's attainment of the stature which
rightfully belongs to Il as heir of all
the ages. II the home do its work well.
the task of the teacher and the school
is comparatively easy; but there are toe
many American families, as every teach
err knows, where this work has not been
done, and where, consequently, much
effort has to be spent in supplementing
the lack of skill or the foolish indul-
gence of the mother. When q little six
year-old girl on her first day at school
tries to strike her teacher oyer the head
with her heavy slate because she il told
to do some little thing, we may not un-
reasonably assume that that home has
failed of its purpose, If, indeed, it ever
had any.-Anna c. Bracket, In Har-
| per's Magazine.

THE BRITISH SOLDIER.
Ills Condition Is Much Better Than
Was FormorIY.


Ills Condition Is Much Better Than IL
Was Formerly.
The revelations about the condition of
that portion of the British army which
remains at home after the regiments
have been drained OF their best men for
foreign service, are one more indict-
ment, and very serious one, of the
system of voluntary enlistment in our
day. The accounts given by officials
OF the poor quality of the home gar
risons simply mean that in order to fill
the ranks large numbers of weedy men
have been enlisted. To the question,
Why have we weedy men to be en-
listed? the answer Is that the paw is
too small in the present condition of the
labor market, and the soldiers trade is
too much discredited by the memories
of what 1t used to be in the early part
OF the century. Wellington's army was
literally composed Of the dregs of the
population. and was kept in order by
savage discipline in which ferocious
logging played a. large part This de-
graded the army horribly in the popu-
lar eye, and made the friends of young
man who enlisted give up him as a social
pariah. The life Of q soldier in the
barracks, too, was wretchod and fully
expressed the view taken of his deserts
by his superiorA Since then his condi-
ton has been greatly improved. He
is we'll lodged. and though scant-
lily, yet is on the whole, we'll fed.
Very elaborate care is taken of his
health, and he Is supplied with books
and periodicals and schools, which. for
a man DESTROYS for sef-improvement,
would make a term of enlistment by
no means undesirable mode of begin
ming life, if it were not for the tradi-
tions which surround the calling "A
common soldier" still occupies the very
lowest place in English life. The uni
form which glorifies the officer degrsdes
the private, no matter how many VIC
tories he wins in all quarters of the
globe. This tradition il not likely to
be broken up until conscription sweeps
all classes into the ranks.-N. Y. Post.

The horse frequently seems to use his
eyes Independently of each other. un-
| doubtedly the ma jority of animals do so;
how then can we imagine in their case,
for moment, such single picture of
a world as we in our waking moments
look out upon? A few simple expert
ments with a cat will convince anyone
that she can not distinguish hand
with empty fingers. held toward her
from one containing any not too odorif-
erous edible. A bull makes no dis
tinction between the display of a red
pocket handkerchief and the shedding
of blood.
And while the animal may not. and
in all probability does not, refer its
world to spaced picture and think in
visible images as we do, there is no
doubt that in other respects ITS sensa-
tions may have a definition of mental
value quite unknown to the equivalent
sense in ourselves. We NAV 'searrv
faces to the heavens" and stalk about
the temporary lords of the world. but
for all that our noses are poor things.
The human nose is an apologize pim-
pie compared with the magnificent or
gan of the horse or dog. Our sense of
smell is, when contrasted with orr
sight and hearing, singularly undis-
eliminating. We can arrange sounds
into series; we know is between G.
and f; we appreciate octaves and har-
monies. Similarly we can put the col.
orS into order. decide upon the amount
OF blue In . purple and get almost to
emotion at the sight of a white star in
the blue Of the summer twilight, or of
the amber sunlight glinting between
the blades Of grass.
But this serial arrangement, this sort
ing and selective choice, is entirely be-
yond our documentary senses of smell.
To us the idea of the scent of the vio-
let being rich harmony or the sug-
gestion that the frying of onions is a
dlscord or that patchoui and the new
mown hay are pleasant things in differ
ent times and keys sounds utter nom
sense. Our noses are entirely too dull
to effect the analysis necessary before
scents can be distinguished as complex
and sorted and recombined SO as to be
made an aesthetic pleasure.
But with the animals we have named
all this is different. Half the head of a
horse or adult dog is nose. 1t is proba-
BILE, therefore, that the dogs mind is
based essentially On impressions of
smell. He percsives the crafty Ulysses
through all DISCUSSES that hide him
from human detection, shifts him and
is satisfied. The stories of the faithful
dog crawling to his masters picture and
licking the boots of it show a lamenta
BILE want of imagination-even of COM
mon observation.
Anyone who has watched lost dog
In the street must, or at least ought to,
perceive that the animal has only the
vaguest idea of what its adored master
looks like. Only on that supposition
can its movements be understood. The

RAILROAD EMPLOYEES.

They Are Being Deluded Into Assisting
PIutocracy to RiVet Fetters Upon Their
Limbs
During the last falls campaign when
the railway employees of the state were
being voted solidly, through the rail
way employees league" against
"granger" candidates and for the demo
cratic state ticket, we prophesied that
before the legislature adjourned they
would find that they had merely been
used by the railway managers for their
own purposes and that the very men
whom they helped to elect would refuse
TO do anything for them. Such proved
TO be the case, and the Railway Con-
ductor, published at Cedar Rapids, sizes
up the net results of the clubs efforts
as follows:
1--WE have repeatedly challenged any
supporter of the club, or of any such
political organization, to point to sim
gle solitary benefit from it, and GER
tainly in the three years of its existence
1t ought to be able to show something;
Il cannot, however, and its most en-
thusiastic supporters tell of what it is
TO do, but not of what IL has done. Its
record in the three states of Minnesota,
Iowa and Kansas has been, and is now,
defeat of the employee in the
interest of the companies and
defeat of the farmers in the cor
porate interests. The most that 1t is
claimed by any, is that they have sue
ceeded in defeating rate legislation. 1t
IL a disputed question as to what inhu-
ence they have had In the matter, but
granted all that is claimed, what has
the employee benefited from it2 His
wages are not increased one penny, his
privileges are not extended in the
slightest degree, and on the other hand,
legislation in his interest and that he
has asked for in each of the three states
named, has been defeated by the same
interest which has used him to defeat
the rate legislation.
There is no single class of working
men in the United States who would be
more directly benefited by the legisla-
five reforms which are advocated by
the alliance and peoples party, than
railway employees, and we believe they
are coming to see it-Iowa Farmers

A Change OF Front.

The most notable change in policy of
the republican press of late is in its at
titude toward the strikers in Home
stead, Pa Up to this time almost
without exception the papers of pro-
lection and plutocracy have challenged
the cause of the capitalists and Pink
ertons. Whitelaw Reid, the nominee
for the second place on the republican
ticket, some years ago advised that the
strikers be shotd down like dogs Strange
indeed is the change and not so strange
either when we come to think of it
The laboring men are beginning to
make themselves felt, and the repub-
lican press has found 1t out. Until
very recently 1.-The sacred rights of
property was the only right that
was considered worth looking after
or caring for. Organized labor has
learned the people differently A la
borcr's life was not considered as
amounting to much, but his vote was
worth as much as that of any one else.
The republicans have been driven to
take their present stand; had it not
have been the columns would to-day be
bristling as of old with all sorts of de-
nunciations of the men who would dare
10 raise feeble hand against their lord
and master.-HutchinSon (Kana) ALI

circumstances Attending the Death of
Livingstone.

Circumstances Attending the Death Of
Livingstone.
David Livingstone, the African mis-
sionary and explorer, died on the 4th
of May, 1873. About a year before
Stanley had left him at Unyanyembe
well provided with goods, but lacking
men for the transport of his baggage.
Livingstone waited five months at this
place until the arrival of fifty-seven
stout and faithful men and boys picked
ont and sent to him by the American ex-
plorer. With these he started in August,
1872, for Lake Bangweoio, and proceeded
along the east side of Lake Tanganyika.
At this time he was attacked by dysen-
terry, complaint which had frequently
given him trouble in his wanderinQs in
the wildS Of the dark continent. In
January the party reached marshy
and extensive jungle east of Lake
Bangweolo. and floundered about for
days and weeks, trying to find way
toward the south and west. Mr. Liv-
ingStone'S object was 20 discover the
fountains or sources of the lake The
situation of the explorer and his men
was at this time very discouraging.
They were compelled to wade through
a spongy soil while q steady rain
poured down upon them from,
above. The doctor grew steadi.
ly weaker under the strain,
though he did not apprehend a fatal
result. He finally had to consent to be
carried in litter. On April % he made
this, the last entry in his journal;
knocked up quite, and remain-re-
coyer-sent TO buy milch goats We
are on the banks of the Molilamo"
May he was so weak that he found it
difficult to wind up his watch, and on the
following morning his black attendants
found him llneeling beside his bed, dead.
They embalmed or preserved the body
as well as they could, and then tender
ly carried it, together with his papers,
instruments and other belongings,
across Africa TO Zanzibar. Thence it
was conveyed to England and finally
deposited in Westminster abbey,-Ghi.
