THE CURSE OF EDUCATION.
Men Of Mental Ability Who can Pro-
cure no Suitable Employment
The Worlds Universities Turn Out Thousands Of Graduates
Every Year Who are Unable 10 Earn Living,

Ever since the enormous enlargement
numerically of the English universities
there can be little doubt that the value OF
a degree has gone down commercially.
The number of first class men seeking
work and finding none is sorry com
ment on the development of the English
university system. If this is true of the
first class, what must be the lot of the sec
ond, the third and the pass man? The
learned professions, in fact, are over
crowded. The cause of this unhappy crowd
ing of the market for brain laborers is not
far to seek
An immense number of persons who in
former times would have worked with
their hands, as their fathers did before
them, are being educated to work with
their heads. There is a general leveling
up of the social grades if you look at it
enthusiastically. The son of the artisan be-
comes a clerk. The son of the clerk aspires
to teach i'll school. The son of the school
teacher aspires to go to Oxford or Cam
bridge But this leveling up is not an I'M
mixed blessing. The result is that we have
so times too many clerks-2OO applied for
an insignificant post advertised the other
day-ten times too many half educated
teachers, and alas, ten times too many uni
versity graduates turned out every year to
crowd the ranks of the bar, the schools and
journalism and recruit the years crop of
miserable and hopeless failures.
None of these people can dig as their ia
theirs did. They cannot make shopboys or
busmen or crossing sweepers. Too many
of them can only teach or starve 1t is
really impossible to deny that certain
degree of intellectual education units a
man to work with his hands and earn his
bread as alaborer. 1t may be that it ought
not to do so, but in the present imperfect
state of the world so it Is. Therefore,
somehow or other places must be found
for this enormous harvest of tolerable
scholars as schOolmasters or something
analogous in the social scale. Every year
the problem is how to do it. That problem
formerly the university solved by the fell
lowship system. The number of scholars
was small, and they had fellowship
apiece. That solution is no longer posi-
bic, even if it were desirable.
Then the universities tried ignoring the
problem altogether. They, as it We're, de
MED liability. Their position was: "Our
business is to provide facilities for those
who wish to learn and opportunities to
study for those who care to study. When
our men have attained, by the help of our
endowments, to a degree, the connection
between us terminates. They must shift
for themselves" theoretically, of course,
this was undeniably logical position,
which they could very fairly take up, but
III practice they must be held responsible,
in some degree, at least, for the men
whom they have raised out of their own
position in life by scholarships and exhi-
billions specifically offered for necessitous
persons. Saturday Review.

POULTRY NOTES.

No single breed OF fowls will answer
all requirements.
Salt should be given in small quanti-
ties with soft food.
Geese are very profitable and hardy.
They live on food that would kill a
chicken.
Linseed cake or oil cake that is fit for
cattle may be used in moderation for
poultry.
Gapes come to chickens that run on
damp, low places, and are caused by
small worms in the windpipe.
Separate the males from the females
as soon as they begin to mature. They
will thrive the better for it.
Handle the birds gently and keep them
tame. Do not frighten them so that
they will run and hide when you visit
them.
Sick fowls should not be doctored up-
less you are sure of the disease they
suffer from. Remove them from the
flock, place them by themselves in warm
quarters, change their diet completely,
and give them soft food easily dlgested,
The white Leghorn is highly esteemed
as breed that is most profitable. They
are good as winter layers, and early
Matched pullets will, with good care lay
next winter. AS a table fowl though
smaller than the Brahma, Plymouth
Rock, Langshan or Wyandotte, what
they do dress is sweet and juicy.
When roup begins you will notice a
watery discharge from the nostrils OF
either chickens or turkeys, accompanied
by an offensive smell. In its first stages
it is easily cured by free use of kero-
sene oil. Fill up small spring
oil can, separate the sick fowls from the
others, put them in dry coop well
bedded with straw, wash the beak and
heads OF each with little salt water,
take the oil can and pour some up each
nostril and give little inwardly. Do
this daily until the sick are better or
well. Sweet oil added to the kerosene
is very good and makes the remedy
more mild.
The best method of packing dressed
poultry for shipment to market in warm
weather is to pack in ice if possible. In
fact, it is difficult to ship poultry in any
other way during summer without de-
teriorating on arrival at market, when
the dealers OF course put it on ice. The
next best thing to do is to let the poultry
stand in very cold water over night after
killing, in the coolest part OF the cellar.
Pack and ship early so that it may start
in good condition. Ii you are so situated
that your shipments will arrive in mar
ket by daylight, forward them the prev
ious evening, then let your poultry re-
main in cold water right up to the time
OF shipment. Change the water fire.
quently so as to keep it as cold as posi-
ble.-Fdrm and Home.

THE SITTING HEN AND LICE.

The sitting hen matches more lice than
chicks sometimes. The hea. of her
body on the nest provides the lice with
the most favorable conditions for pro-
pagation, and they do not hesitate to
take advantage of their opportunities
A broken egg, or even the filth from q
rotten egg that has been crushed, is just
what the lice desire. Hence be very
careful to have all the nests clean. Use
Persian insect powder literally on the
nests, and dust the sitting hens well
with it at least three times week, and
the young chicks will be saved from
annoyance when they get out of the
shells. -Poultry-Kseper.

Several men in an up town hotel recently
We're telling of dueling experiences they
had had, when it came William Fl. SEQ.
Wills turn. He is fine looking, modest
man, with mild gray eyes, and resides in
Hudson, y. y. lie spends much of his
time here and is quite popular. His duel
was thrust on him. Travelling from Paris
to Nice in n car, an insolent young fellow
made himself Objectionable to "A lady.
Colonel Scovill told the young man that
he had to stop it or be elected from the car
on the end of boot. He then sat near
the lady and saw that she was not mo-
Tested. At Nice he was waited upon by
the seconds of the young man. He init.
mated he did not care to fight, but re-
marked that If be saw the young man in.
sulting any lady he would kick him. The
next day the seconds called again and said
their principal wanted satisfaction and
gore. The colonel had them bring him
around, "Now, young fellow, put up your
hands, for ! am going to thrash you, il
can, " said the colonel. The young fellow
was knocked out, and the colonel remark.

New York STORAGE Methods.

The big storage buildings in New York
are managed in Il fashion that impresses
visitors with a belief that the science of
discipline has entered all fields of activity.
When the furniture is taken from the
house, it is packed into a huge covered van.
The van is locked in the presence of the
owner of the goods, and he takes the key.
Then he goes to the storage house. the van
is driven on freight elevator and is lift
ed to the seventh or eighth story, where
the owner has leased n room. The van is
backed up to the door of the room, and
the goods are taken out and packed skill
fully within the room. The owner sits in
an armchair and watches it all. Then
the door is locked and the key handed
him, the wagon is wheeled on the eleva-
tor. the iron doors leading to the corridor
are closed and locked, and all hands de
scend to the first floor
II the owner wishes to go to his store
room at stipulated time, the attendant
unlocks the door and admits him to the
elevator. The door is locked behind him
He is taken to the floor in which his room
is situated, another door is unlocked, and
be Is passed over to a second attendant
who takes a list of the things the owner
wishes to have removed from his room
The owner is again taken out, the door
unlocked, and he is passed over to the first
attendant, who conveys him to the Office
Nobody can obtain access to the rooms
without going through this laborious rou-
tine, and the result is that petty pilfering
and stealing from the rooms are entirely
unknown. The cost of it all is less than
might be expected. The rooms are leased
at anywhere from So to SIS a month.-New

physician must qualify as a chef. 1t will

AROUSED HIS Suspicious.
Why IA German Barkeeper and His Irish
Customer Are strangers Now


There is a certain German barkeeper nm
town who is nursing a vigorous wrath and
particular knotty blackthorn, because Of
an unknown person with an Irish accent
and an engaging address.
/ One night the stranger stepped up to the
bar and asked for quart of gin in black
bottle which he placed on the bar The
barkeeper filled the bottle, and the man
walked toward the door.
Here yelled the barkeeper. You give
ne no moneys for dot chimp
"Ah, mark it down on the slate, will
ser?" -:
We heff no slet; you give me back dot
chin or give me my money"
Not Il cent, not cent; take back your
stuff if you won't hang it up"
So he man handed back the bottle to the
barkeeper, who poured the contents of the
bottle into the cask.
A week later, almost at the same hour.
the door blew in again. Hey, Dutch, give
rs IA quart o gin, will yer?" The unsus-
pecting barkeeper poured the liquor into
the bottle, handed it over the bar and, as
before, the man took the bottle and started
of
Here, you, give me my moneys or my
chin What you do, heyY Film fem mef
Give me dot chimp
"Ah, mark it down on the slate"
ave don't kipno slet-give me dot chimp
"Ol right, Take your dommed old gin
and he cussed wild yer!''
The bottle was handed back across the
bar, and the man again disappeared into
the night. Again the liquor trickled down
,, into the eask.l
+ FQF .al-es, on as many nights, the
same incident was enacted. Then the bar
keeper became suspicious.
dot man buys him no chin" he solilo
quized, "but alretty he comes him beck six
time, find out dings." A week later the
man appeared again, with:
"Hey, Dutchy, fill this in hurry, will
yer?"
"liaf you got any moneys dis time, hey?"
Let us look ut some of dot money, heinz"
The man showed neat roll of bills, and
the barkeeper filled the bottle and handed
it across the bar.
Say, Dutchy just mark that on the
slate, will yery"
Here, you, yust give me beck der chinl
Vat you want, hey?" Once again the bottle
passed back into the barkeepers possession.
and again the man went away But this
tlme tne Dottle was not emptied into the
cask
Raising the bottle to his lips, the bar
keeper tasted its contents. Then he smashed
the bottle on the floor and the air was thick
with his invectives. A policeman, hearing
the noise, pokcd his head inside the door
and saw raYing barkeeper, who was say
ing

And then it was all explained The man
with the Irish accent and the engaging per-
sonallty had come each time with two bot
Ties. One was empty, the other full of
water. When he turned to the side door, he
deNterously changed the bottle of gin for
the bottle Of water and gave the lat ter to
the barkeeper instead. Six times he prac-
tlced the deception successfully, but if he
ever returns there may be a case for the dis
trict court to pass on-New York World.
