Schooling at Twenty Dollars a Year.
However moderate the expenses Of a
student Of the present time may be they
can hardly reach the extremely modest
sum which sufficed for Jean Marmontel,
a FrcncA poet, during the reign Of Louis
XIV, for years schooling. In his
Memoirs" he speaks of his school life
as follows:
was lodged, as was the custom of
tho school, with five other scholars at
the house of an honest mechanic.
My provisions for a week consisted
Of large loaf Of rye bread, a little
cheese, piece Of bacon and two OF three
lounds Of beef. Ny mother had added
to them a dozen apples.
This was the weekly provision Of the
best fed scholar Of the school. The mis-
tress Of the house cooked for Us, and for
her trouble, her fire, her lamp, her beds,
her houseroom, including even the yege-
tables of her little garden which she used
for our soup, each Of US gave her twelve
pence halfpenny a month.
Reckoning everything except my
clothes, cost my father between four
and five pounds year. This was much
TO him and an expense Of which I was
very anxious TO see him relieved.

CALIFORNIA PERMITS.
HTen Passing Their Lives In Idle Solitude
on the Mountain Tops.


Men Passing Their Lives In Idle Solitude
on the Mountain Tops.
Is man essentially a social animal? The
scientists say so. But in the mountains
Of California there are almost enough
men who Tor years have led life Of ut
ter solitude to cisprove the generaliza-
ton. These mountain hermits can be
found scattered through the Sierras and
the coast range from one end of the state
to the other. They are particularly nu-
meroua through this region, centering
about the Yosemite valley and extend
ing far back into the high Sierras. Some
Of them were once guides in the valley,
others have been miners, and some
again seem to have taken up the life of
solitude simply because they like it.
To this class belongs old p. r. Gibson
-"Old Glib" as he is generally called
who lives on a mountain ranch. He is
seventy-fve years old, but is possessed Of
as much physical strength and endurance
as the average man Of half his age. He
came thirty years ago from Tennessee,
where he lefta wife and a large family
Of children. One of his sons came to see
him recently and tried to induce him TO
visit his former home, but "Old Glib"
steadfastly refused to leave his little
ranch and solitary cabin. He has never
seen q railroad, and the stage drivers
from the nearest station try their utmost
TO persuade him to go to town and at
least look at train Of cars. But his in
variable answer is: ''Do you think I'm
going down there to be blowed up by
one Of them there blamed engines? Not
muchi"
Nearly all the men who live this life
of solitude very long get bit queer in
the head, and "Old Glib" is no exception
to the rule. He has a rigmarole descrip-
ton Of himself which declares that he is
''the best man in the United States or
adjoining territories, either directly or
indirectly, financially, commercially, &C.
Realistically or unchurchifed. The old
man is n hard worker, and when he Is
not busy on his ranch he is working
euergetically making shakes is,
clapboards split and sawed by hand from
big pine trees.
Old man Lambert, who has a cabin in
the high Sierras some thirty miles back
Of the Yosemite, is another Of the noun
tain hermits. He has neither ranch nor
mining claim, but lives by what he
shoots and by an occasional few dollars
earned from camping parties. He has
lived alone in that same spot for years
and years, and will in all likelihood stay
there until he dies. There are months
at time that he does not see another
human being. A party Of campers one
summer found him making a huge stone
wall that seemed to have no purpose
whatever. In surprise they asked him
what he was piling up those stones for.
Why" he said, a mans got to do
something, up here alone, or he'll go
wrong, sure. Cor. Augusta (Ga) Chron-

CASE FOR SUPREME PlTY.

A CASE FOR SUPREME PITY.
That contest between capital and labor
at Homestead is a wretched business.
There is no way of adjusting the
blame or the cause Of the wrongs and
the crimes which have been committed
there so that each party to the contest
shall bear its proper share.
The case of the men, who always
suffer in such contests, excites what
Victor Hugo calls supreme pity" They
are always indiscreet In such contests.
Like the poor and the weak always, they
enter such contests at a disadvantage:
capital always carefully calculates the
cost and prepares for successful
issue. No man can refrain from a
feeling Of supreme pity at
