SELF-EDUCATTON.

A peculiar honor attaches to the
truly self-educated man. His parents
have been hard working people, too
busy with the bread-and butter
problem. He has had little emporium
ity for culture at home, and little aid
from his father in acquiring culture
away from home, and determined to
obtain. He has begun a process OF
self education. Like Schlieman or
Hugh Miller, he has utilized i'm study
the hours wasted by his companions
in doing nothing. This appetite has
grown by feeding. He has laid by n
little money, has entered school, has
grown more and more ambitious. has
paid his way through school and col
lege, and at the end of his academic
course looks back upon his somewhat
prolonged process of education with
the proud consciousness that he has
won its honors and rewards by his
own exertions. Doubtless he lacks
some qualities that his more cultured
companion possesses. Doubtless
there are some crudenesses and inn
maturities in his education which are
escaped by one born and nurtured in
an atmosphere of culture. 1t may be-
questioned whether he has not gained
more in intensity of purpose than he
has lost in losing the peculiar benefits
secured in the process of unconscious
acquirement.-O Outlook.

WASHINGTON LETTER.


GsPE l.L CORRESPONDENTS OF THE MONITOR
Washington, Aug. 8, 1897.
Secretary Sherman is again at his
desk in the State Department, and his
fat footed declaration that this gov
eminent would not guarantee to ia
pan the execution of the decision OF
the arbitrator who will pass on the
controversy between Japan and Ha
wall shows that his backbone is in tip
| top condition. He says his little out
| ing and rest did him Imuch good and
| that if the weather in Washington re-
! mains as pleasant as it has been for
several days he will not go away
again this summer. Secretary Sher-
man says he doesn't think there is
anything in that story about Minister
Sewall having last week declared a
protectorate over Hawaii, and that if
s:Old Glory" has been raised over Ha
wall it was because some act Of the
japanese had caused Minister Sewall
to consider such course necessary
to avoid future trouble and compiled
tons. Mr.. Sewan has authority to
raise the flag over Hawaii at any time
he may consider it necessary.
The innovation of the Navy De-
par1ment, that our naval vessels must
be put to a better use than being
made to serve as attractions at sea-
side fashion resorts, will not please
the young dancing officers who have
found pleasure in posing as summer
resort Washers, but it is being strong
ly endorsed by men who wished to
see our navy made as efficient as pos
sible by practice in sea drills. There
has never been any good reason. for
our navy au adjunct of sea-
side society.
Senator Germans little bluff about
his not being a candidate for reelec
ton is regarded in Washington as the
poorest one he ever made and as in
dicating his desperation. He knows
that there are a considerable number
Of democrats in Maryland who intend
to aid the republicans to elect ma
ority of the legislature, in order to
be sure that he cannot be returned to
the Senate.
Some of the testimony in the hear

There are occasions when we must
decide promptly, and without time
for sober second thought, says an ex-
change. But they come to us rarely,
and there is little danger of our mis-
taking them when they do come.
Most of our decisions need to be
made with elaboration. Thinking
well over the matter often puts a diff
ferent face upon the subject. Espe-
cially is this true when the mind is
heated by temper. One who strikes
while the iron is hot i'm this case is
sure to regret it, and to be very much
ashamed of it also.

false reports made upon their alleged

that only about one half of the 300
applications for patents filed by John
Wedderburn & Co., during the past
two years have contained anything
that was patentable, and that the por-
tions that were patentable in many
of the remainder were of such a ma

for the inventor to ever get back the
money it cost him to get the patent

applications for foreign patents upon

rEsLA,s GREATEST DISCOVERY.
Nicola Tesla announced Tuesday

Nicola Tesla announced Tuesday
the completion of his latest discovery
the simultaneous transmission OF
messages by means of the earth's
tered points on the surface of the
globe as may be desired. This he re
CARDS as by far his greatest achieve
ment. He will follow his usual GUS
tom, and lay his information before
the world of science in his own words,
and accompanied by his own compu-
tations and conclusions. To a few
! intimates he gave thrilling demon
stration of the operation of his device
for arresting and subjecting to con-
troll, under natural laws, the electri-
cal substances in and about the earth.
His latest invention, device or dis
covery is to produce such disturb
anco of the electricity of the earth
which can be felt and noted simulta-
neously at all parts of the globe.
Tesla had his rooms in the labora-
tory darkened. From a room adjoin
ing the one in which he and his Wis
itors stood current was turned on
invisibly. A huge black disk hung on
a frame about eight feet in diameter,
from the center of which protruded
brass electrode seven inches in d.
ameter. AS the group gazed at this
the apartment was filed with crack
ling sound, which was increased till
it sounded like the rattle of musket
ry. Bright flames shot from the
electrode, not from pole to pole, as i'll
ordinary demonstration. Like fiery
serpents the wavy coils of fame dart
ed in graceful lines around the disk.
The longest sparks were fully. eight
feet from the point when they burst
into dazzling brilliancy to the vanish
ing point. These electrical sparks
were undoubtedly the longest flashes
of light ever produced by similar
means.
It seemed like a terrific lightning
display with the swapping, cracking
sound, displacing the reverberation
of heavens artillery and all remarked
the weird and awning effect of the ex-
hibition.
"What are you doing?" was asked
Tesla
81 am producing said he, ''elect-
rical disturbance of intense magni-
tude, which is continuing throughout
the entire earth. In other words, I
am producing a disturbance of the
earth's charge of electricity, which
can be felt to the uttermost parts of
the earth.''
'sAnd the result will be?'
"Ah," said Tesla, ''that is almost

Most men of genius have been gil

tall or short, according to Havelock
Ellis. He does not say, however,
that all giants and dwarfs are genius
es. Mr.. Ellis has looked up the di-
mansions of over 800 gifted men, and
he finds that 142 were tall, 125 short
and seventy-f four of middle height,
which he places at between five feet
four and five feet nine.
Any one can follow out this line of
comparison. To take few familiar

Grant probably was as short as any.
General Roberts is so short as to be
called Little Bobs. And Mcclellan
was called Little Mac.

would be the size of heads of noted

other hand, Emerson had one of the
smallest of heads.

THE FREIGHT WAR.

Chapter by Telegraph of a Local Pub
lished Sunday.
/ New York, Aug. 10.-The Tribune
says:
The freight rate war from New York
to Galveston, by which the Morgan
and Mallory steamship lines are trying
10 defeat their recently established
rival. the Lone Star line, has reached
aa interesting stage. Rates to Gal,
weston have been cut TO two cents
hundred weight. AS a result, the
town is full of Texas buyers and
goods are being shipped to the, Lone
Star state in large quantities. Both
the Mallory and Morgan lines are run
ming extra steamers to Galveston to
meet the tremendous demand for ship
ments.
1t was ON July 10 that the war was
declared. On that day the Lone Star
line was established by Hogan &
Sons, with steamers to run to Calves
ton. The rates then prevailing to the
Mallory and Morgan lines. the only
others running to Galveston and adop-
ted by the Lone Star line, were so
cents on first-class, IS cents ON Sec
ond-class, fifty-five cents on third
class and forty-five on fourth-class
freight per hundred weight fer con?
signmehts Of less than one car load
weight. For consignmentS of car
load weight or over, the rates were
forty-two cents for unclaSSfied goods,
all placed in the fifth class; forty-three
cents for class A, forty cents for class
B, thirty-nine cents for class en-, thir-
ty-eight cents for class d, and thirty
five cents for class E.
On July 10 the Mallory and Morgan
lines cut rates fifty per cent. The
Lone Star line met the reduction.
Another cut was made and the Lone
Star dropped to it. SO with every cut
since then, until the classes from one
to three inclusive were down to ten
cents. Everything shipped to Calves
ton on the Morgan line now goes at
two cents a hundred wight and it is
said the Mallory line will also come
down TO these figures.

riculturists.
Washington, Aug. 10.-Comparative
figures compiled by the department of
labor in the form of deductions from
the last census statistics relating to
workers at gainful occupations point
to the fact that persons at work, and
especially females, have increased
very much faster than the population
at large and as result the statement
shows that the proportion of workers
relative to the population and the
whole number of people of respective
ages was considerably greater in 1890
than at the preceding census periods
and that this increased proportion is
apparent for each of the great classes
of occupations except agricultural,
fisheries and mining. All this the
statement sets out, show an increas-
ing disinclination of our population to
follow agricultural pursuits. An an
alysis demonstrates that the increased
proportion of workers is found gen
orally in the higher walks of business
life and in those occupations which
call for skilled labor. The conclusion
is stated to be inevitable that the great
portion of the workers has as whole
progressed and risen perceptibly in
the social scale of life.

Dean of the Brown University Flies
at Ex-President Andrews.

bedu VI iue bTOWu University ElleS
at Ex-President Andrews.
Providence, r. l., Aug. 10.-H. l..
Wayland, of Philadelphia, dean of the
Brown university, has addressed a
lengthy communication to Prof.
Clarke and other members of the
Brown university in reply to the lat
tiers opposition to the corporation. In
it mention is made of President An
drews' resignation and the issues at
stake. Continuing he says:
THE real questions involved are,
think, three-fold. First, has an in
structor, a minister, and editor, the
president of bank or of a college, a
right to use his position to give cur
rency aud authority to his views with
out being open to reprimand from
those who have placed him in this po-
sition?
Il regret that the president by the
resignation seems to say Il regard my
views as of such Importance that no
consideration can induce to forbear the
expression of them.
1T is stated that DIR. Andrews is TO
engage in an educational enterprise
to be endowed and controlled by John
Brisben Walker. If it should occur
in the near futuree that the views of
DR.. Andrews should diverge from
those of Mr.. Walker, viii Mr.. Walker
entertain the opinion which the pres
ident now cherishes as to independ-
ence?
Second, was the occasion such as
to justify the request of the corpora
tion?. The chief justice of the Ha-
waiian Islands recently said: The
advocates of free coinage in the is
lands were told that the weight of the
intelligence and the integrity of the
American people We're against their
view They never failed TO reply: is
not Brown university an institution
of high standing? Its president is
with u.s.
Three, there was any want Of cour-
tesy in the manner in which the cor
poration conveys their suggestions 70
the president The suggestion that is
in the air about the president being
forced out is as groundless as the as
sertion that his independence is COM
promised.
