this study or that. If mastered how
will it help transact business or ac-
quire fortune? The young soldier
who endures the monotonous repeti
tion of drills day after day asks the
same question. He sneers at inspec-
tions, reviews and the unchanging
forms that impress him as little better
than silly. But as a veteran, when
he is seasoned as campaigner, when
be has learned that his own life, the
lives of his comrades, the fate of an
army, the destiny of a nation, the very
course given to the forces of civiliza-
ton, may depend upon tile promptness
and precision with which movements
are executed, he knows the advantages
of military training. 1t fits him for
the duties of soldier by teaching dis
ciplinc and orderly methods. He may
20 for years without the practical ap-
plication of his knowledge, he may
have forgotten the details Of the man
ual of arms and the drill, but once
under the voice of command his edu-
cation makes him the soldier at whom
the raw recruit looks with envy.
The boy who leaves college may
never engage in another game Of foot
ball or baseball, never join in another
cross country race, never pull an oar,
spar, wrcstle or enter a gymnasium,
but this will not render useless or de-
prive him Of the grand physical devel-
opment acquired in the years when
bodily strength or weakness in the fu-
ture is so largely determined. He is
always stronger, more vigorous, more
daring and full of confidence. What
athletics has done for him physically
study has done for him mentally. He
knows how to use his intellect as he
knows how to use his muscles. He
may not be able to read his Homer or
to tell all he once knew about loga-
rithms, but he can think, reason and
use his mental powers in the acquisi-
tion of desired knowledge. He is
trained mental athlete against the
awkward competitor who has less
strength and TO scientific knowledge
"a TO how it can best be used.

What Education Means.

Exaggeration sometimes finds partial
justification in the fact that it gives
an emphasis which it would be diff
cult to otherwise produce. A western
college president in his address to a
recent graduating class told it's mem
bers that they might forget all they
had learned from their books during
their course and yet carry away with
them the chief fruits of their labor as
students. He was putting the idea in
the strongest possible light, yet there
was much truth embodied in his state
ment. If the college graduates now
in the country could be assembled for
examination it would be found that
few outside of those who have made
teaching a profession, could pass the
examinations required before entering
the institutions from which they re-
ceived diplomas years ago. They have
forgotten Che facts of history and the
stories of mythology that they once
handled with the ready familiarity of
thorough acquaintance. They would
be little betterthan novices in the
higher mathematics, and in attempt
ing to "brush up upon the classics
they would have much more use for
the lexicon than the text Of the author
they were attempting to peruse.
But these acquisitions of knowledge
are not lost. The old lines of reason
ing, thought and memory would soon
be found, and with brief study former
proficiency would soon be approxi-
mated. The vigor of mind and right
reason is not a dependent of mere
memory, and cannot be lost. These
qualities retain aud have strengthen
ed the capacity to think and in think
ing to reject the specious for the gen.
uine, to select from the confusion of
ideas that which has the sanction of
reason and to reject the hcresics bred
of ignorance or dominant prejudice.
1t is the development Of the intel
lcctual powers that constitutes the
most valuable results Of liberal edu-
cation.
1t is only the narrow utilitarian who
is forever asking what il the use Of

A Singular Duel. +

DR.. Young, the well-known. English
surgeon, was once in party pleas
ure with few ladies goingap by wa
ter to Vauxhall, and he unused them
with tune on the flute. behind him
several officers were also in q boat,
rowing for the same place, and soon
came alongside his party. The doc
tor, who was never conceited of his
playing, put up his flute on their ap-
proach. q,
One of the officers instantly9asked
why he ceased playing, or puts11p his
flute.
"For the same reason" said he
"that l took it QUITO please myself" +"
The son of Mars very peremptorily
rejoined that if he didn tinstantly take
out his flute, and continue his music,
he would throw him into the Thames.
The doctor, in order to allay, the
fears Of the ladies, pocketed the in
suit and continued to play all the way
up the river.
During the evening, however, he
observed the officer by himself in one
of the walks, and walking up to him,
said, with great coolncss:
s'It was, sir, to avoid interrupting
the harmony of my company, or yours.
that complied with your arrogant
demand but that you may be satisfied
that courage may be found under a
black coat as we'll RS under red one,
I expect that you will meet meSto-mor-,
row at certain place without any
second, the quarrel being entirely en-
tire nous.
The doctor further convenanted that
the affair should be decided by swords.
To all these conditions the officer
assented.
The duelists met, but the moment
the officer took the ground, the doc
tor pulled out horse-pistol.
"lNhat p said the officer, edo you
intend to assassinate me p
"No," replied the doctor; "but; you
shall instantly put up your sword and
dance minute, otherwise you are a
dead man.
"The officer began to bluster,. but
the doctor was resolute and he was
obliged to comply.
"Now," said Young, "you forced
me to play against my will, and have
made you dance against yours; we are
therefore again on a level, and what
ever satisfaction you may require l am
ready to give it.
The officer acknowledged his error,
and the affair terminated in lasting
friendship.

INSPECTION OF THE ROAD,
Government Inspector Coombs
Going Over the Union
Pacific.
There Are Many Formidable Obsta,
Giles to the Reorganization
of the System.

OMAHA, NEBR., Aug. 31.-Ex- Congress
man Coombs of Brooklyn, a Government
director of the Union Pacific, passed
through the city yesterday on his way
East, after an extended trip over the sys-
tenn, during which he made thorough
examination of the road.
The Union Pacific, he says, in common
with other transcontinental lines, is suf-
fering from over-capitalization and radical
changes must be effected in this regard
through some plan of reorganization. The
road, it must be remembered, was built in
advance of the requirements of the coun-
try.
Railroad business, or the. business OF
building railroads, was expensive in those
days and heavy losses resulted, and all
these losses have been capitalized. These,
in connection with the heavy debt to the
Government, present formidable but not
impossible obstacles to its reorganization
on business basis.
The original idea of the Government in
extending aid to the road was that it
should form one continual line from the
Missouri River to the Pacific Coast. This
plan has not been carried out, and that fact
presents another drawback to the pros
perity of the system, and in lieu OF a west
ern terminal at the Pacific the road has
been compelled to look to the north and
to the south for business. This has re-
suited in number of costly experiments
that have greatly benefited those sections
at the cost of financial loss to the road.

Bia wire in LiberturilIe.

CHICAGO, ILL.,. Aug. 31.-Fire destroyed
fourteen buildings, comprising the bust
ness section OF Libertyville, Lake County,

morning. The flames started in the rear
OF Schank's hardware store, in the main
street, and, famed by high wind, swept
the business section.
Reports from the town were meager this
morning, but these indicate that the BIZ
cycle factory recently built and a piano
factory, forming the main industries of
the town, had been entirely consumed.
The population of the town is about 1000.
The buildings for the most part were frame
and afforded good fuel for the flames.
