The Education Needed
rom the Wilmington Messenger.

II Tolu Ilc w lIiilHSCou messenger.
There is one subject of perennial
interest to intelligent people in a free
country. 1t is education. Upon an
enlightened people depend, rest the
perpetuity and safety of free institu-
lions. This Republic will not stand
if he electors nre ignorant, blind,
the ready tools of demagogues and
iisurpers. Man must be educated,
lifted up, with trained facilities and
large views and great purposes. He
must not grovel in superstition, in
gloom, in despair. He must have
his faculties developed, disciplined,
exalted. The education needed is
not the boosted new education"
but the good old education that
trained the soul for Heaven while
fitting the mind for earth. rhe
surcst, best, most complete educa-
ton is of q three-fold kind as we
lately said to train, to lead forth,
to strengthen the mind, the soul, the
hand. All men in a great, free
country should be educated. 1t
ought to be the pleasure of thought
full and intelligent men to put educa-
tion within tn grasp of all. Educa-
ton should be voluntary perhaps,
but it should be offered to all. We
doubt as to compulsory" educa-
tion-forcing parents to send their
children to public schools in free
country. That has the flavor of
Capitalization, of the ukase of a
Tsar. And yet ignorance is danger
Gus to a free Government, and men
not we'll educated are often the
dupes and instruments OF designing
knaves and rascally politicians.
Pehaps wisdom should demand that
all voters shall be educated, and
when parents neglect to send their
children to the public schools, that
the State shall enforce attendance.
But we confess we are not prepared
to say we favor compulsory educa.
ton. Ii is repugnant to liberty, to
free institutions People ought to
have sense enough to prefer knowl
enge to ignorance, and seeing what
great advantage the educated mind
and hand have over the unlettered
and unframed, all should be anxious
to have their children disciplined for
usefulness here and taught as to the
Heavenly Way.

Bald Heads.

Washington Post.
From that remote and nebulous
period in history when two she bears
emerged from the wilderness and
proceeded to kill and devour large
section of the juvenile population for
having pOked fun at a bald-headed
prophet, down to this day and gen
GRAFTON, bald heads have been at the
front in most of the great concerns
of nations, as well as on such minor
occasions as the ballet and Giving
pictures" entertainments. In the
halls of learning, in the gatherings of
scientific bodies, in conferences of the
clergy, in Senttes, in parliaments,
and on the bench, the shining pate,
denuded of hirsute integuments, is
honorably prominent. While it is
to achieve eminence and still hold
his hair, such case is an exception
to the rule.
The alluring subject of bald heads
has been carefully studied for some
years by a French physician, and he
has recently given to n grateful and
appreciative world the results of his
scientific Investigation. He asserts
that out OF one hundred people, from
twenty to thirty years of age taken
at hazard, twenty-seven will be
found to be build. With more of
scientific ardor than politeness this
medical scientist intimates that
women cleverly conceal badness,
but that it is there all the same.
Passing the age of thirty and thence
on to forty the percentage of bald
heads rises to forty-seven. But the
critiral period comes between forty
and fifty years of age. Ont of one
hundred chance subjects the doctor
found but twenty-five with a fairly
good growth of hair, and when the
sixtieth year is past he states that
it is rare TO find IL man who has
enough hair on his head to make
parting POSSIBLE Parting would be
''such sweet sorrow" il he only had
a few more hairs
This learned Frenchman is un
dOubtedly right in declaring that
badness is an almost certain sign of
mental activity. The laboring man,
who has little time and less inclina
tion to coddle his hair, is far more
likely to have an abundant supply
thai. the society man who expends
time and cash on his locks. Some
authorities contend that high breed
ing, in mankind and lower animals,
is fatal to the growth of large
supply of hair The thoroughbred
of the race track has q thinner name
than the cart horse.

Death of an Esteemed Lady.

j
Typo SHOPS, July 29-It is sad to
have to note the death of Miss Mollie
Shoaf, which occurred on the 25th
inst. She had only been sick a short
time. In the loss of her from this
community, we have not only lost a
noble-hearted, christian woman, one
that was loved by every one that
knew her, but we have lost one of
the main pillars of our Sunday
School and an attentive member of
Bethel church The Sunday School
extends to the bereaved family their
sincere and heartfelt sympathy, but
what is our loss is her gain. May
every member of Bethel Sunday
School, which she so dearly loved,
strive to meet her in Heaven, is our
prayer. Il.

SILVER IN MEXICO.

The statement that Mexico is go
ing to the dogs because of it's silver
policy is refuted by Prof. j. M. Tier
nan, of Salisbury, who has interests
in Mexico and has spent the grenter
part of the past six years in that
country. Mr.. Herman married Miss
Francis Fisher (s'Christian Reid')
of this State, and is reputed to
be q man of marked intelligence,
liberal views and extended informa-
ton. He makes a lengthy state
ment to a staff correspondent of the
Raleigh News and Observer, and,
among other things, says:
"The past three years, which have
been such terrible years of financial
straitness and suffering in the United
States have been years of steadily
increasing prosperity in Mexico.
There has not only been no panic
there, no breaking banks, no closing
industries, but on the contrary it's
great product, silver, has stood it's
friend, and the war waged upon this
metal by the gold monopolists of
this country and Great Britain have
resulted in giving to Mexico an
access of industrial and commercial,
prosperity which has raised the
wages of labor, and promises to
materially improve her position. In
fact, the good results to Mexico of
the attempts to demonetize silver ia
the United States are SO numerous
that it is almost impossible to
enumerate them. I,who have known
the country intimately for years,
have lived there and have large
business interests there, stand
astonished before the change which
is to be witnessed
In reply to the question, care the
mines being worked?' Mr.. Herman
replied:
"The Mexican silver mines are
today worked with more vigor than
they have been during the last CEN
fury, and the mints are coming the
bullion as fast as they can. The
dollars so coined are the standard
money of the country, and being

candor, said:

gold bug, but look at this matter
from broader and more liberal
standpoint. The mines in which /
am interested in Mexico are gold

small percentage of silver, but this
fact does not tempt me to make an
erroneous statement as to the condi-
ton of Mexican finances and bust

Styles of Skirts.


Women with well formed hips are
wearing skirts made full on the belt,
the fullness being smoked into closo-
ness from the belt to well over the
hips, and from there falling free.
Again, rows of braid are set round

hips, or the braid is set in spokelike
rows, spreading from the belt, each
row ending in IL loop just below the
hips. In all cases the bodice is elab-
GRATED either with shocking or

ADVANCE IN DENTAL SCIENCE.

A Device for Filling Teeth by E!ec-
tr'cmy Invented by New Yorker.
New York Herald.
The new electrically operated den>
tai engine recently Invented by a
gentleman in this city, is something
new in dentistry. 1t embraces the
latest and most approved principles
in the science of electricity, and has
been designed with a view to safely
and conveniently adapting the pow>
er of electricity to the uses and re-
quirements of the dental operator.
The device is very simple in cons
struction and of small and compact
design, It consists of Il small elec>
trio motor and two disks or friction
wheels SO arranged that by shifting
their position, by means of speed
and reverse lever, any speed may be
given the drill or its motion reversed
independently of the speed or direc>
ton of rotation of the motor. This
device also permits of instantly stop
ping the drill or burr in case of acct
dent to the patient. Being very
small and light, it may be attached
directly to the side of the bracket
table, swinging Immediately in front
of the chair and having the advane
tage of all the convenient positions
of the bracket table.
With its use the operator is ena>
bled to stand on both feet all the
while and to work from either side
of the chair with equal facility. 1t
allows him also to concentrate his
attention solely on the work in hand
and the manipulation of the burr
or plugger. The machine is stopped
and started automatically by picks
ing up or laying down the handpiece.
ALI cords and pulleys are eliminated
in its construction, and being so
small and simple and almost entire
ly automatic in operation, it requires
no care to keep in running order.
The foo. swi tch and rheostat have
both been eliminated in this
| machine and, the mind of the ope>
rator being thus freed, he is enabled
to perform his operations quicker,
and with more freedom of move>
ment, with consequent saving OF
| time, shortening of the operation
and mitigation of the pain of the
| patient.
This electric dental engine is espe
cially adapted to running the differ,
| ent forms of mechanical mallets, az
it ranges from low to very high
speed. 1t is wound for use with 8

The Sound Money Scheme.

Bellefontaine, o., Examiner.
Under single gold standard policy
the money of the people would
necessarily be credit, or borrowed
money, and every dollar would
carry with it banks per cent.
This per cent would be added to
everything either produced by this
money or received in exchange for it.
1t will thus be seen that q currency
system would be imposed upon the
people that would inevitably rob
them of their earnings, which, indeed,
is the extent and the secret of it.
Under this single standard system,
it will be observed that the money
vouchsafed the people maintained
at par with gold according to
promise), would come to them dearer
than gold by the banks per cent,
and then decline in their hands to
par with gold again, while the banks
per cent would remain upon their
purchases and be added to the profits
levied upon them as consumers.
j This is putting the matter in the
most favorab BILE light, for, with barely
gold enough in the country to main
tain the greenbacks now in circula-
ton at par, and with a vast debt in
government bonds hanging over us,
payable, principal and interest, in

American securities-who shall say,
under these circumstances, what will

The free coinage of silver as
primary or ultimate redemption
money, and free from bank tax, is

pressing demand of the American
people today.

but one feature, and a minor one at
that, of the "sound money" scheme
to rob the people of their earnings.
