It is a common maxim that history
repeats itself: 1t is quite as true but
less understood, that life repeats itself
from generation to generation. The
meanness that has been forgotten, the
lie that was too small to be remember
ed, the impurity, the hatred, the skep-
ticism that we think are hidden deep
ly in our hearts, only lie fallow, pos
sibly to bear fruit in our sons and
daughters. Whatever we sow, we
reap" This makes life a problem of
tremendous Importance. But the fact
that what we SOW others may reap,
complexities our responsibilities, and
makes us not only the arbiter Of our
own destinies, but the prophets, for
veal or for woe, of those who come
after us. The science Of life should be
taught in our public schools.

1t appears that the freight rates on
the Great Lakes are not the cheapest
in the world, as we recently asserted
them to be. Our attention is called to
the fact that two dollars will pay for
the transportation of a ton of flour
from the Pacific coast to Hong Kong,
a distance of between seven and eight
thousand miles. The two dollars can
be bought for about ninety cents in
gold. Accordingly the Pacific freight
rate is about one-eighth of a mill, or
one-eightieth Of a cent, per ton per
mile, reckoned by the English none
tary standard.

The lynching OF two Italians in St.
Charles parish, near New Orleans, two
years ago, for the murder of an old
man cost the general government sew
eral thousand dollars by way of indem-
nifty to Italy; and now an old negro
confesses and proves that he was the
murderer and the Italians had nothing
to do with the crime. The doctrine
of an eye for an eye would make it
necessary to hang the lynchers; but
perhaps the matter may be compro-
missed by bringing the innocent Italians
to life.

today merely enables the scholar TO be more

SPECIAL EDUCATION.

\ boy, after being born right. to win success
in this world, must be taught habits Of Indus
try. If he learns the value OF time, and If he
applies himself to any chosen vocation, he
will not only acquire proficiency In his pro-
fession, but his education will increase until
1t answers the requirement OF that vocation.
The fields of education are 80 wide and so far
reaching that no one man can excel In all.
He must choose one line, and II he has In
him the elements OF success, he Will acquire
the needed education in his particular lire OF
work.
