are defeated. The democrats managed
to elect Richard Borden to the
Assembly in The Third District, and

FRENCH IDEA OF GIRLS EDUCATION.

The French always make this distinc-
ton between INSTRUCTION aud "educa-
tion." Instruction means what the girls
study, while education includes manners,
breeding, customs, conduct. habits. ideas
and any amount of learning wiehout this
education, III their senss of the word,
means nothing to thsm at all.
It Is natural to supDoss that for this
education. as they und srstand 1t, nobody
conld be more careful. or take so much
interest as u mother; and add to this the
TACT that When a man proposes to q girl in
France. he expects her mother TO be aole
to account for every hour OF tbs daugn-
ter's life. aud you will understand why
above everything else, the education the
French prefer for their daughters is t1at
