TTHE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE of the United
States says that all men are born free and equal" This has often
been questioned by deep thinkers and cogent reasoners. How can
the boy born of poor parents be the equal of the boy born OF rich
parents, with all the advantages of education at his call? Common sense
has in fact been without means to reply to this question. But a long step
has recently been taken by the STANDARD to equaize the conditions of the
children of the rich and poor 81 far as educational advantages are
concerned.
In the Standard Edition Encyclopaedia Britannica there "a now
be procured for the children of every family a n education the equal OF
that given by all the schools and colleges in the land. For the trhng
sum of o cents a day you al secure the complete set of 28 large quarto
volumes.
OF course, no boy or girl can have an education literally given to
them; this costs personal effort; a father may give his son the advantages
of schools Or books and encourage him in the proper use of these oppor-
tumtes, but farther than this the parent is powerless; the chllds own
mental effort must do the rest With the Britannica in the home, al
unlimited education is within the reach of every son Or daughter. Even
one volume of this work contains more expert knowledge, more practical
information than the whole faculty of any college: With this Encyclo-
paedia in your home, you have at hand, night and day. a private tutor of
your own, whose services are always yours and whose intelligence is pre-
eminent That tutor will give your children a education that will make
them the peers of the sons of the rich lin the race of life Is it worth the

His First ExnerIenca.

John Smith was a clerk who had to
work the telephone which had been new
ly fitted at his Office. He will never for
get his first experience with the instru-
ment. On hearing the clatter of the
bell he took down the receiver and heard
his employers voice asking for informa-
ton concerning business. John was un-
der the impression that as his employer
was two miles away he ought to put his
hand to his mouth like an ancient mar
liner on the stage, who is paid sixpence
a night to do "Ship, ahoy" business.
He accordingly Numbered his answer
into the transmitter. The answer came,
II don't understand you at ALL"
Smith essayed again and again, but
with no better result. A happy thought
struck him when he had recovered his
wind after the tenth blast, and he softly
whispered to himself, II wonder if the
old idiot is deaf" His hair rose slowly
on end as he heard the sound of his gov
ernor's voice coming softly from the re-
ceiver, mo, John, the old idiot is not
deaf, and you can take fortnight's no
tice." John now declares that telephones
are auds.-Pittsburg Dispatch.
