She Will Enforce Her De-
mands on Turkey.
MERsINA WILL BE BoMBARDED
Austrian Embassadors Ready to Quit
constAntinople- shows
no Signs OF weakening

vienna, Nov. 1.-THE Turkish gov.
ernnent not having yielded to the de-
mands of the government of Austria for
redress on account of the indignities Of
fered to Austrian merchants of Mersina,
Herr Brazzafelli, the Austrian embas-
sador, Baron de Cecele, will leave Con-
stantinople, and an Austrian warship
will lombard the port of Mersina, Asia
Minor, if the demands of Austria are
not conplied with by noon Thursday.
Austria demands of the Turkish goy-
ernment an order for salute of the
Austrian flag, that the vail of Adena be
dismissed from his position, and that
the lieutenant governor be removed.
The sultan, buoyed up by an easy vic=
tory over Greece during the late war,
will not, it is believed, yield until the
last momene.
Austria, in addition to the demands
mentioned, will insist upon the porte
furnishing her with definite assurance
respecting other matters, notably the
complaints made by officials of the Aus
trian company operating Oriental rail-
roada, which have frequently been
brought to the attention of the Turkish
government. In this connection it is
announced that in addition to the de-
spatching of warships to Mersina, with
instructions to obtain satisfaction for the
conduct complained of, the ship will at
noon tomorrow unless the porte has
granted the demands of Austria by that
time, stop all traffic on Oriental rail-
roads.

HIS RICHES TOOK WINGS
= Farmers Treasured Geese Take a
Notion to Fly.

= Farmers Treasured Geese Take a
Notion to Fly.
A PawtuXet valley farmer, whose
farm is near the village of Crompton,
had literal exemplitication few
days ago of the old adage which says
that 'Eiches take unto themselves
wings and fly away" says the Provi-
dence Journal. Something over a year
ago he and his son fired at flock of
wild geese that flew over his farm and
managed to bring down nearly two
score of them. About 13 of the birds
were only wounded, and, surviving the
shooting, were SO carefully kept that in
year their captors had succeeded by
judicious breeding in increasing the
stock to over 20 geese and goslings.
They were kept in a pen that was COW
cred with wire netting, and seemed to
have become thoroughly domesticated
and satisfied with their surroundings.
One day lately the farmer, wishing
to let them feast awhile on the tender
blades of grass that were sprouting in
an adjoining field, opened the coop and
let the strange flock into the pasture
green and new. And this is where he
made mistake. The half-wild ganders,
geese and goslings reveled for awhile
amid the verdant grass and new-found
freedom, but never made an effort to
rise above Mundane things, and the
experiment was voted q success by the
owners of the flock. They congratulate
ed themselves too soon, however, for
later in the day there came winding
over the Coventry hills, high in air,
snaky black line from which there
fioated down into that Crompton farm
er's pasture the "honl1, honk" of the
wild goose, sound familiar to sports
men, which it seems the half-wild geese
in the verdant meadow also understood.
Without waiting to bid their owner
goodlby, with one accord the ganders,
geese and goslings arose on new-found
wings to join their free fellows near the
clouds, and before the farmer knew
what had happened they were out of
gunshot, following the black trail to-
ward the southeastern horizon.

JOBS OF CHEMISTS.
The Queer Glass OF Patrons That They

The Queer Class OF Patrons That They
Have to Serve.
Chemists sometimes have queer ex-
perienccs. The following facts, says
the Chicago journal, were told by
a professor in one of the western
universities: For about ten years
1 have made q speciality of examining
and reporting upon cases of real or sus-
pected poisoning. AS q number of my
cases have been connected with murder
trials, l have had considerable notice
in the daily papers. This reputation
for making analyses for poisons has
brought me a queer class of patrons,
Every year 1 have one or more old
men como TO me with samples OF food
to be examined for poison. These men,
without exception, have married young
wives, ard when the husband is taken
sick and does not recover as quickly as
he thinks lie should, he begins to- sus-
pect that his young wife wants to get
rid Of him, ard is poisoning him grad
ually through the medium of his food.
Of course he does not want his wife to
know of his suspicious, and he quietly
gets sample of the food lie suspects.
and at sore unusual hour for work,
generally either carly in the morning
or very late in the evening, he comes to

The Glory of the Sun.

We are indebted to this generous orb
for light by night as well as by day; for
warmth within doors as well as without.
Strolling through a town lit up by innu-
merable lamps, or whirled along at the
heels Of a locomotive, it is a pleasant
thought that the carnations OF suns
which rose and set millions Of years ago
which rose and set in seeming idleness,
and TO all appearance in wasted splendor-
are now reproduced to enable US TO cope
with darkness, or to conquer space with
out moving a muscle. There IS something
captivating I'm the thought that the great
rector mundi was working for us when
as yet there was no sign OF man-indeed.
no promise Of his coming-and with quiet,
patient labor laying up from day to day
those treasures of light and heat which
are infinitely more valuable to US than
all the gold and diamond we possess. No
one who has studied geological processes
can repress a feeling Of surprise. perhaps
OF Impotence. at the slow. deliberate step
with which nature ever marches up TO her
goal. But when we think Of the sun toll

here To make n plea for manual schools
for agricultural and mechanical colleges.
We want something in our common
schools that will give our boys tasts
for something else than for books; we
want them to have a fondness for WORK
with the hands, for the common every
day things OF life We want schooi
that will teach our youth more about
things around him and less about the
way 20 parse sentences. We want MN
10 know more what the verb 10 do means
and less about how TO analyse 1t.
We quote what this writer says not
because It Is new. but because It Is for
chile way OF stating an old ruth when
has now gotten a firm hold upon the peo-
pie. It simply emphasizes the fact that
there is a growing sentiment in the South
in favor OF practical education. subject
upon which The Times has more than
once spoken.
As this writer well says. II education Is
10 instll into the youth Of the land a dis
taste for manual labor. then in many In
stances education is worse than useless
We repeat what we have so often said
that many a good mechanic or farmer has
been spoiled by trying TO make profess
sionaI man Of him when his tastes and
talents did not run in that direction.
There is certainly great demand in the
South for more schools that will teach
technical education. We want to nj our
Young men. and our young women too for
affairs. and TO fit each and every one OF
them to earn an honest living in that
stage Of life for which he is best fitted
We once heard one OF the ablest men In
virginia say that If he had been educated
at college his whole career would have
been spoiled. That IS ;ot necessarily
true. and in his case we do not believe
that It would have been true. lie was a
common sense, practical man OF sound
judgement and great industry, made a
success in the management Of his own
affairs and left a handsome fortune when
he died. II he had been educated for a
| professional life. possibly he would have
been spoilt. but If he had been thorough
" trained for the work which his hands
afterwards found to do. his work would
have been easier and his accomplishments
| greater.
| The first thins TO do Is 10 ascertain
what is the peculiar talent and taste OF
the youth. then train his mind in that d.
rection. and educate him thoroughly for
the work which he shall do, no matter
what his work may be, and you greatly
enhance his chances OF success.
Returning to the quotation above, we
| may say that the proposition is summed
up in this: That education which units
a youth for his natural calling is, Of
course. to be deplored. while education In
| the direction Of the natural bent Of his
mind strengthens his forces and helps him
on to success. We want education and
more education but education in the right
direction.

UsrruL AM USELESS EDUCATION,

We find in the Columbia (S. CO State
an interesting communication from an
everyday citizen on the subject Of educa-
ton. The writer says some things that
are rather crude. but he has packed deal
OF common sense into the following para
graphs:
Preach political economy and love OF
country and duty to the young men as
much as you choose. they are going 10 fol-
low their tastes. If education does any
thing for US at all, II moulds our tastes.
and we must judge of the results of any
education by the tastes OF the ones edu-
Gated. IL they all want 10 quit the hard
work and go into the stores or into the
law or be the President OF the United
states or some other non manual occu-
patton, II Is an evidence. that there is
something wrong with our schools some
where. In nine cases out OF ten that boy
who grows up with dislike for manual
labor makes a failure in life. The tenth
one may succeed.
What kind OF work is sought by the
young men who spend FIVE or six years
In school? What kind OF taste is i'm
