Education's Rapid Growth In Sixty Years
Books 60 years ago were few in
comparison with now," writes William
George Jordan III The Ladies Home
Journal 1.-The public libraries of the
United States, all put together, had
only half a million volumes in 1887.
This is less than the Boston Public Ii
brary contains today. Three of our
American libraries have together more
books than were in all the public libra
ries of England, Ireland, Scotland and
Wales when Victoria assembled the
throne. Ignorance was general. Forty
per cent of the men and SO per cent of
the women of Great Britain could not
write their own names when Victoria
became their queen. The national edu-
cational system was but three years old;
its money grants amounted to only
$500, 900. Uncle Sam now spends $140,-
600, 900 a year for teachers and superin-
Iendents of our public schools.

DISCIPLE OF MELCHISEDEC
Strange Story of Penance Suggested by
the Rebellion.

Strange Story of Penance Suggested by
the Rebellion.
Franz Miller, the hermit of Scarritt
bluff, is an original old character who
is living in solitude for the sake of his
own peculiar religion. He calls himself
a follower of Melchisedec, the king
of Peace" says the Kansas City World.
He was born in Alsace- Lorraine 81
years ago. When he was II years old,
he came to the United States and fol-
lowed the profession of shoemaker I'M
til the war broke out, when he joined the
Tenth United States infantry regiment
at Newport Barracks, Ky. He fought
through the war, and the terrible scenes
on the battlefield led him to thinking.
He imagined he had done wrong and
that repentance would be the only way
to salvation. He started to do that by
carrying what he called the "black
cross" for 10 years. During this time
he was to have no fixed abode, to accu-
mulate no property, to make no friends
and to shun mankind. He wandered
back and forth across the country, and
then one night the spirit" appeared to
him while he was walking between Ar
mourdale and Rosedale. He saw satan,
in a great red cloak, standing on the
bluff. A moment later the shadow of
Melchisedec enveloped him, and Miller
knew he had been promoted to the cred
cross" order. He settled down and ran
shoeshop in Kansas City, near the
junction. Then he lived hermit's life
in Weston, Mo-, and three years ago he
took up his abode in a cave exoavated
in the Scarritt bluff. He has lived there
since, alone and happy.
Sometimes, he says, he earns as much
as o cents day by picking rags, and
this sum sufices to buy bread and cof-
fee, his chief articles of sustenance. He
says he never begs. The nurses in the
Scarritt hospital would provide for him,
but he does not accept their hospital
ity. His aim i'll life, he says, is to be at
peace with the world and atone for his
sin in taking part in the war. He never
reads the newspapers, because they sug-
gest worldly thoughts to him. If Miller
lived in more civilized way, he would
be handsome man. AS it is, his long
hair and tangled beard, together with
an evident dislike for soap and water,
make him look the ideal hermit.

Bicycling on the Road.

There are very few people of the
farming class who if properly approach
ed will decline to take you in for the
night provided you are reasonably we'll
dressed, gentlemanly looking person
age and are not travelling in a company
OF more than two, including yourself.
You ride along through the day, and
toward evening come upon some attract
i've looking farmhouse. You approach
and ask the mistress if she will take
you and your friend in for the night,
adding that you are travelling on a tour
from such point to such a point; that
you will gladly pay for what rest and
food she can give you. In nine cases out
of ten she will take you III after a short
talk. An evening spent with the farm
er and his wife and family, if you enter
into the spirit of the thing, is one of the
most enjoyable of evenings and at the
same time one of the most valuable
methods for picking up knowledge of
the people of this country who live out
of your immediate sphere. Toward bed
time they will probably want to put you
in the spare chamber, which, in such
homes, means the one unused room of
the house. If you decline and take one
of the poorer but frequently used rooms,
you will be happier. In any case the
mistress of the house will probably
think more of you and charge you less.
Often in the morning when you set
out to continue your journey the farm
er and his wife will laugh at the idea
of payment. In that case it is due to
those who come after you as well as to
yourself that when you return home
you send them something in the nature
of a present or remembrance. In this
way some very pleasant evenings are
passed and some attractive acquaint-
ances made. New places are discovered
and new features of old places found
out from day to day, and, over and
above all, it is the most inexpensive
method Of travelling afoot or awheel
that can be imagined. -Harper's Round
Table.
