HERE is Huxley's definition of a
liberal education: "That man." said
he, ''has liberal education who has
been so trained in youth that his body
is the ready servant of his will, and
does with ease and pleasure all the
work that, as mechanism, il is capa-
BILE of; whose intellect is clear, cold
logic engine with all its parts Of equal
strength and smooth working order,
ready, like a steam engine, to be
turned to any kind of work, and spin
the gossamar as well as forge the an
chors of his mind; whose mind is
stored with knowledge of the great
and fundamental truths of nature and
of the laws of her operations: one who
is no stunted ascetic, is full of life and
fire, but whose passions are trained
to come to halt by vigorous will,
the servant of tender conscience.
who has learned to love beauty
whether of nature or of art; to hate all
vileness. and to respect others as him
self. Such one and no other, has
liberal education.

He went to the door, and when he had
opened it part way he turned again.
II think, Mrs. Warren" he said, that
your husband really knows great deal
about those diamonds. I have no animosity
toward him. I simply want my property"
Mrs. Warren was standing with her
back to him, and as she did not move, he
went out and closed both doors behind
him.
For several minutes she stood there, and
when Elsie came in she threw her arms
about her daughters neck and wept like a
child. The girl could only surmise her
mothers trouble, but she needed not to
know the causes to comfort her and weep
with her.
The relief of tears had become a neces-
sity to Mrs. Warren. Had she been alone
fered unspeakable anguish. Elsie's timely
arrival gave her rev strength and clearer
thought, while 1t did not diminish the ter
rible burden upon her heart
Cant you tell me, mamma" asked Elsie
at last, what it is that makes you suffer
SOP"
mo, dear, not now You mustn't ask me.
Get the breakfast ready, and when yolr
father comes in ask him to see me-"
Elsie regretfully went to the kitchen,
feeling a burden on her own heart that
thoughts of her love failed to tighten. She
hoped for Wills early call, for he had
promised to look in before he went to
work. His presence might at least make
her happy for the moment.
After she had been busy awhile she he-
gan to wonder why her father did not
come into the shed that adjoined the
kitchen with the mornings milking. That
was his custom, and it was past the hour
for this part of his work.
She went to a window that looked out
upon the barn. Midway in the farm yard
she saw him seated on log. Two brim-
ming pals of milk were on the ground be-
fore him. He held something in his left
hand, which he was. examining closely

"Of course, I shouldn't do that! Even if

Golding spoke with such calm assurance
that Mrs. Warren was staggered. Might
it be possible that her husband, in his anx-
iety to keep concealed the secret that they
both shared. had searched buttons cloth
irg for any possible evidence of it? What
evidence could there be? Her face, hag-
gard with anxiety and the long night
watching, grew paler as she remembered
that there might be just the evidence that
she and her husband feared in Duttons
possession. If SO, she prayed God that Mr..
Warren had found it. Then all might be
well, unless this man knew!
Mr.. Warren had powerful reasons for

Mrs Warren looked at her visitor with
painful doubt. Should she listen to him?
She dared not leave him in the room with
Dl tton; she dared nASsrefuse to hear him.

ordered that the speed trial Of the ram
Katahdin bes run over the New London
course in Long Island sound. The original
plan was to have the trial over part OF
the Cape Ann-Cape Porpoise couse, over
which the Indiana will be run. But as this
course is very much exposed and is likely
to he rough at this season, and as the
Katahdin being designated for a harbor

Senator Thurston, though elected to a

vile miners have been idle for months.

to work pending the action of the latter.
Patton miners held meeting and de-

miners decided to strike. If the Ber-

OUR TIN INDUSTRY.
Increase in the Production the
Past Year.

Marked Increase in the Production the
Past Year.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-Special Treas
ury Agent Aver was lately instructed to
ascertain and report upon the condition
of the tin plate industry in the United
States and has just submitted his report
to the department at Washington. The
report covers the operations of the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1885, The facts
presented show marked increase in
the number of mills for rolling the steel
sheets Or "black plates" which form the
body of commercial tin. The largely in.
creased consumption of steel sheets
from American rolling mills indicates
not only the accelerated growth of this
branch of the industry, but an actual
preference for American rolled sheets.
During the year the production in the
United States was 1913, SO1, 073 pounds,
an increase of 30 per cent over the pre-
viOus year.
