tant from any such institutions; Sec
ondly, because they are perhaps un-
endowed with the means to meet the
expense Of so doing.
However, noted Political leaders
have sprung to positions of respect
and Importance in our nation and
others, from towns Of as little note as
Wadsworth and others OF our smaller
Nevada towns; and since in this era
Of advanced enlightenment, a finished
education is the prime factor of a
successful career, and as cur students
may not be able to obtain q Collegiate
education, try and give them as many
OF its advantages as possible: that
they may 80 train and educate
their minds as to compete, with IN
equal chauce of success, with their
fellows, graduates OF Colleges; and
have IN equal start with them in the
Il C for those two great prizes in the
lottery Of life-weaith and fame.
In conclusion, I would remark that
itdoes not require a ~far-seeing eye
and over brilliant intellect to see that
what the Wadsworth scholar said
TIT is better to recice at recess than
to waste our time in idle play,"-is
true and an excellent maxim for all.
"Is that not 500" And as those schol-
ars certainly have intellects equal to
our own, they are fully as competent
to judge that question. "Is that not
SOP"
And Z also beg leave to, state that
there are many other pupils, excepted
from the Latin class, who would
make, have made and do make that
self-same statement, and it would
be better for all pupils if they would
make and practice it. So. that is not
SO. Those who are not in a Latin
class and have never studied it, criti
cize it from their standpoint: those
who arc in a Latin class and have
studied it, look at it from their stand
point, and as we are both judging, al
you may say, from rather n preju
diced view, my criticism is as weight!
as yours. "Is that not SOP"

The Experience Social.

The Experience Social packed the
the new church last night. The pro-
Gramme rs published in Thursdays
INDEPENDENT was carried out. The
aides told how they earned their
dollars and soEo of their experiences
were quite amusing. One OF them
built fires for her sleepy lord for two
weeks; another was given a dollar by
her husband to keep her tongue still
for a whole evening; another shaved
her husband without cutting his
throat; and one staid at home, at
tended to her own business and took
care of her babies for which she re-
ceived a sixty cent dollar that passes
at par. Some of the rest sawed wood,
made barrels Of sauer-kraut, sewed
for bachelors, cooked, washed windows
and did other work to catch the MIN
BILE dollar.
The ladies earned and collected $3.50
which was turned into the building
fund. The hat was passed around
and the audience contributed $3.50,
making the net receipts S94.50, all OF
which will be applied toward finishing
the new church.

bEFENSE OF THE PEACOCK.
1t Is Not True. az Said, That His Feet Arc
UgJy-How He Courts.

URJy-ltOW fte COurlSI
"NWho says the peacock has ugly fect?'
remarked Taxidcrmist Wood. of the
Smithsonian institution, to u Washing
ton Star reporter. II have heard and
read that piece OF nonsense ever since I
was a child, and 1 understand that it is
recorded as an archaeological truth in
classic Greek and Latin. You will come
across mention of it even in fables. To
my mind it affords an> illustration of
h fact that most people never use
their OWN physical senses actively but
depend for their notion of life and
things upon the observations of others.
81 have just finished mounting this
pair of p~cacocks. Isn't the male bird a
beauty? You can see for yourself that
his feet arc decidedly pretty and we'll
shaped end rather small in proportion
to his size. They are very slightly big
ger than those of n turkey and arc de-
cidedly handsomer. The same can be
said of the hen bird, inattractive though
the latter is in other points. Wherever
IN the feathercd kingdom the cock bird
is the handsomer he does the counting,
while in the comparatively unusual
case where the female is moro gorgeous
she it is that takes initiative in the
love making.
SIT is n curious thing to observe hat
the male peacock in counting his chosen
mate approaches her not with the
brightly colored face of his fcathcry
fan toward her but backward. Then,
on coming close, he wheels suddenly
about with every plume trembling in
the sunlight and dazzles her all at once
with his beauty. As for tho popular
misconception respecting his feet, there
can be no doubt as to how it originated.
When the peacock is pointed ut, being
naturally a wild bird, he is apt to drop
his fan and scuttle away Thus the
impression was conveyed to the ignor-
ant hat he imagined his feet to be OBJ
jccts of attention and accordingly
sought to hide them. Ofcourse nothing
could be moro absurd"

AN ANCIENT SAYING.
How the Phrase "Beaten to n Jelly"
Originated.

How the Phrase "Iseaten to n Jelly"
Originated.
1.-THE phrase beaten to mummy has
been familiar to me from my youth
and up, and I have always understood
it as beaten to 4 jelly" says q writer
in Waverly Magazine. DOCS it not re-
fer to the medicinal substance formerly
known as mummy, which kept its place
in our d~ispensatorics until pretty late
in the last century? It was v~ariously
composed and not always of the same
Consistencc, but in general appearance
would probably resemble hat of soft
pitch. 1 speak now of the spurious
kinds, which were doubtless most COM
mon. Even the genuine sorts were not,
however, necessarily Egyptian.
"Penichcr, in his Traite DIES EN-
b~aumemens, gives directions for the
composition Of mummy from human
flesh expressly for medicinal purposes.
He recommends certain parts of the
body to be used, and these to be dried,
maccratcd and spiced put of all likeness
to their natural condition. Mummy so
prepared entered into a great variety of
'balms' and other medicants, for
which Pcnicher in his concluding chap
ter gives recipes from old writer's.
Some of these have the consistency of
oil, others that of On ointment. It is
clear, from the references in Mares,
that mummy and it's preparations were
well known and from the make
mummy Of my hesh,' which Mares
quotcs'from an old play, to beaten to q
mummy Is a natural md easy stop"

Not What They Alto.

It is customary for the railroad COM
panics to treat witnesses we'll when
they are subp9naed to court. When u
witness for a railroad companyahas to
leave his work to testify, says the Phil
adelphia Press, the company pays him
fully for the loss of his time in case the
legal witness fee is not so much MS the
witness would have earned in his usual
occupation. In addition, witnesses arc
given an order for their dinner vt q
restaurant near Sixth and Chestnut
streets. The other day when the agent
for tb~ Reading railroad went to
pay for tho checks turned in by wit
nesses he found one for the unusually
large sum of two dollars.
what in the world did the witness
cat" asked the agent, that his check
should be two dollaTs?"
at wasn't what he ate," replied tho
caterer, but what nc ordered medic his
bill so big. After he finished his dinner
he ordered a whole chicken in q box to
take home with him."

Latin as Regards Learning.

ticed some remarks in the Wadsworth
Dispatch concerning tho study OF
Latin, which seem to be rather IL
liberal and withala trif1e meaningless,
yet which may have been edited
! thoughtlessly, I am led to make tho
following remarks, deduced principal
ly FROM the fact that old and wise
heads have introduced into the
courses of all, or nearly all, OF tho first
public schools Of our land, the study
Of Latin or at least a choice between
it, French and German.
This fact has bnt one Significance
which is: that Latin is beneficial to y
student both in the present and fu-
ture Of his life.
The idea prevails amongst Il vast
number Of people, especially those faz
removed from great institutions Of
leurning, that reading, photography,
English grammar and arithmetic are
the only elements necessary for q
| scholastic education: that the intro
duction Of any study besides these is
an imposition aud harmful intrusion
on the brains and minds OF students.
That idea ID. n narrow-minded and
very much mistaken one Let me
use a metaphor to illustrate my mean
ing.
Here, for example, we have a good
sound and extended foundation of
stone suitable for the support of some
grand ediice. OF what value is that
foundation, sound and substantial
though it may be, il it is never put to
it's purpose and eve becomes the
support Of q grand structure to glad
den the eyes Of, men? Its worth is
almost nothing. On the other hand
how much is its value enhanced pro-
vided a magnificent building is raised
uPon it? Almost forty fold. So with
education. "orthography, Eoglish
grammar and simple mathematics
are known to form the sound founda,
ton Of the grand temple Of learning
but no matter how sound the founda.
tion may be, it is almost valueless
unless it is put to it's true purpose
and is used as the basis Of a higher
education.
In other words; the intellect which
has the foundation only, like the
foundation minus the structure, lacks
that refined and finished appearance
which completion would give it, anc
completion 10 that publication ant
DEDICATION which the minds mos
surely acquire by the true study of
pure and defecate language, such al
Latin.
Again, in our language thirty o.
every hundred words are derived
from Latin. In the study of Englisf
Literature nothing is more pleasing
and Satisfying 10 ones solf and help
full often-times to another, than TIT
power OF discerning the Derivation
and definitions Of thirty out of ever
hundred words you read. Latin give
you this power, and therefore it i

man, and--since the weaker sex ar,
rapidly fitting themselves for anc
filing mems positions-woman? Be
cause, besides training their minds, i
ats them that they may better follow
a profession, il they choose that kline
Of a career.
We must acknowledge that tn
pupils Of our common schools hav,
many disadvantages in the education
