A Liberal Education.

Tho 1atc Professor Huxley held this
opinion as to what constitutes q liberal
education:
The man has liberal education who
has been SO trained i'll youth that his
body is the ready servant of his will
and does with ease and pleasure all the
work that, as Il mechanism, it is ca
pablo Of; whose intellect is clear, cold
logical engine, with all its parts of equal
strength and in smooth working order,
ready, like tho steam engine, to be turn
ed to any kind of work and spin the
gossamers as well as forge the anchors
of the mind; whose mind is stored with
knowledge of tho great and funda-
mental truths Of nature and of the laws
of her operations; one who, no stunted
ascctic, is full of life and fire, but whose
passions are trained to come to halt by
u vigorous will, the servant Of tender
conscience; who has learned to love all
beauty, whether of nature or of art, to
hate all vileness and to respect others
as himself. Such 4 one, and no other,
has had q liberal education.

Trials of Newspaper Men.

The Rev. DIR. Talmagc has obtained
some interesting and accurate informal
ton about the interior workings of a
newspaper Office, upon which he bases
the following truthful remarks:
Que OF the great trials Of the news
paper profession is that members are
compslled to see more Of the sham Of
the world than any other profession.
Through every newspaper Office day aft
er day go all tho weaknesses Of the
world-all the vanities that want to be
pulled, all the revcnSes that want to be
reaped, al tLe mistakes that want to be
corrected, all the dull speakers that
want to be thought eloquent, all the
meanness that wants to get its wares
noticed gratis i'll order to save the tax Of
the advertising column, all men who
want to be set right who were never
right. all the crack Drained philosophers
with stories as long as their hair and II
gloomy as their finger nails i'll the morn
ing, bereft of soap-all the bores who
come to stay five minutes, but talk five
hours. Through the editorial and re-
portorial rooms all the follies and shams
of the world are seen day after day, and
the temptation is neither to believe il
God, man nor woman. 1t is no surprise
to me that in this profession there arr
some skeptical men. only wonder thai
newspaper men believe anything.

vorable to Health.
The fastener, bred and born at sea
level, has a very vague idea of that part
of his country which is at o cloud
height, and he has scarcely any concep-
tion of the governing climate of such
section. The purely picturesque appeals
to the tourist, and he gives hardly a
thought, surely not serious one, to the
high altitude section through which he
passes.
The Adirondacks have accomplished
wonderful temporary healings and per-
manent cures for certain pulmonary
troubles, yet their beneficial results do
not compare in extent with those of that
section which lies at an altitude vary
ing from $500 to 5000 feet above the
sea, known as the high and dry Rocky
Mountain belt, whose heart is Colorado.

high altitude is light, dry and electrical

and clear weather. This is true of all
seasons at the G,O00 foot level. or while

every day during May, June, July and
August, the sun always shines tho rest

rain has ceased the sandy roads are dry
and tho air does not retain moisture.
| After these months not n drop of water
falls from the cloudless sky, and snow
storms are few and light.
Tho mercury occasionally drops to 90

and rises to 60 degrees in the shade the

haps the ablest Of the family, has made
such a reputation at so rs a biologist
that special professorship was estab-
hshed at Cambridge for him, and after
his death, which was caused by q fall
in the Alps, a scholarship was founded
in his name. There are two brothers
now living. One, Gerald Balfour, chief
secretary for Ireland, was for seven
years fellow of Cambridge, where he
has so far done nothing remarkable
Both these brothers are members of par

which she takes very high rank. An.
other sister is also a fine mathematician.
She is the wife Of Lord Rayleigh, the

Superstitions About Stones.

There was curious superstition
which prevailed in Essex half century
ago. 1t was believed that certain stones
possessed the power of breeding other
stones. remember being taken by a
man Ct the upper laboring class to see a
well known breeding stone which lay on
the sward by the side of a lane in the
parish Of South Weald, near Brentwood.

The BULGARIAN Peasant.

In a Bulgarian PEASANTS cottage the
floors are Of mud. The kitchen fronting
the street is also the living room. Be-
hind there is u sleeping room, with a
bedstead in it for tho head of the house,
while the sons and daughters sleep upon
mats stretched OH the floor. The furni-
ture consists Of wooden tables, benches
and chests. The cTockery and household
utensils Of every sort seem of the COM
monest and coarsest kind. Ishould doubt
if there is a single. house in the whole
village in which any English laborer or
artisan earning good wages would not
deem it q hardship to be obliged to live.
At the same time, there was no single
dwelling which, given the habits and
customs of the country, could be fairly
described as unfit for human habitation.

The Unfortunate Lawyer and His Client,
the Nurse.
The extent to which lawyers can ex-
ercise their imagination when pleading
in behalf of their clients is almost be-
yond belief, but sometimes the tables
are turned in q very unexpected fashion.
On enc occasion Mr. S. was en-
gagged in presenting the case of a wom-
an who pctitioned the court to grant
her q judicial separation from her hus-
band, workinSman, ard urged that as
she was i'll extreElo poverty she was en-
titled to alimony according to her hus-
bands means.
With voice broken in its pathos the
lawyer dilated on the imperative neces-
sity Of the case, declaring that his client
was utterly destitute, not having a mat
tress to lie upon, and not possessing the
means to purchase q crust OF bread.
When the evidence had been heard
the judge, who we'll knew tho counsel s
unlimited powers Of exaggeration,
TUNED to the appellant and addressed to
her "a few questions.
"Have you then 10 occupations"
Eyes, my lord; I am y nurse" was
the ircautious reply.
"And where are You employed?"

tinsly rcjoinod, pointing to her counsel.
