The Man Washington.

Lecturing on Washington before the Buffalo Contemporary club, Professor Moses Colt Tyler of Cornell said that,
 while the great VirgiI-ians reputation as a soldier and statesman was safe, he was in real danger from the humorists of the future. This was owing to the fact that Washington, the real mln, had never been very well known and is now almost forgotten, having been replaced in the popular mind by 8 myth type al most equally compounded of the heroic,
 the priggish and the statuesque. Too often he was spoken of as person who never said a naughty word, never did a naughty thing, who cut down that cherry tree with his own little hatchet,
 who never lied, apparently because he could not, who never laughed out loud,
 who never swore, whose behavior was always dignified and proper, and whose conduct was always such as might be expected of the good little boy in the Sunday school. These myths of exag. geration and adulatiOn had their origin
 in the extraordinary qualities of the man, his extraordinary achievements and the gratitude of the republic which he was instrumental ill founding. Mod. est, reserved and generally grave, the statement that he never laughed ol smiled during the war of the Revolution had been shown to be false. Underlying these myths were discovered Washing. ton s great reserve, fOrmality, thorough. ness and self control. New York Times.

Nourishing GrueIs.

Nourishing gruels are always in de- mand for delicate persons as well as in valids. Those most called for are of In dian meal or oatmeal. For oatmeal gruel put into pan over the fire a quart of boiling water, add to it table spoonfuls of oatmeal by sitting it in slowly between the fingers, stirring all the while. When well mixed cover the saucepan and place it at the back of the fire, where it will simmer for two hours
 Season with salt enough to make it pal atable and sweeten it if desired. Strain it through a medium fine sieve. To a small teacup two-t thirds full of this hot gruel add teaspoonful of cream when serving it to an invalid. Indian meal gruel is made by mixing 3 level table spoonfuls of meal with half 8 spoonful of flour, stirring into the dry ingredients half cup of cold water before mixing them with a quart of boiling water
 Let this mixture cook slowly at the back of the fire two hours, stirring it occasionally to prevent it's sticking to the bottom of the pan, season generous ly with salt, very little sugar and a suspicion of nutmeg. This gruel should also be served with cream, like the oat- meal gruel. Chicago Times Herald.

A Clever Rascal.

While a we'll to do Parisian was re- turning recently by train from Havre, during the first hour his only fellow passenger in the compartment was a young man who made himself very agreeable. Then others got in, and talk was general. Finally the Parisian drop ped asleep. Presently the young man, turning to the other passengers, with a wink toward the sleeping man, said in an undertone, "I'll play a good joke on my uncle." And he unfastened the strap by which a small travelling bag was slung over the shoulder of the sleeper. "I'll change into the next compartment at the first stop, and my uncle will wake up and think he has been robbed. It will be fun to see his face, and can watch through the little glass in the partition. Don't give it away" The others grinned appreciatively, and the young man presently slipped out with the bag.
 Soon after the owner of the bag woke up. He missed his pouch from the strap and jumped up in great excitement, ex- claiming, "I've been robbedp" The re- sponse of his fellow passengers was a roar of laughter. This added anger to the victim s excitement, and he stormed furiously. Finally one of the passengers assured the angry man that his bag was all right; his nephew had it in the next compartment.

Two of Tnit,s Stories.

The late archbishop of Canterbury had many good stories to tell. Two are recalled by his private secretary, Man deyille B. Phillips, in some personal "reminiscences, which he contributes to the London Sunday Magazine. One concerned Archbishop Tait's coachman, who was a very original character. One day clergyman who called at the pal ace asked him whether he had still as much to do as ever. The answer was sublime. "There's always a goodish bit doing, sir, but it's been a trifie easier since we took young MT. Parry into the business. " The Right Rev. Edward Parry had recently been appointed bishop sutfragen of Dover.
 Another of the archbishop's stories, also of a coachman, will be new to many. A gentleman living in the neigh borhood of Addington, finding that the stablemen were not in the habit of at tending church, spoke to his coachman about it. "They ought to go" he said. ''That's just what I say myself, was the rejoinder. "I says to them: Look at me. go. And what harm does it dc rne2''

PouItney Bigelow on German Education.
 The great era of German domination in things mental was the era of com parative liberty, the age of Schiller and Goethe. Today the universities, the schools, the men of ideas-they all live too much in the shade of officials. A historian like Mommscn, a scientist like Virchow, political thinker like Del bruck-such men are made to suffer po- htical and social persecution. Germans appreciate greatness, but the German government tolerates it not The great man must be a freeman, and a govern ment of soldiers cannot endure frcemen. Germans are justly proud of their vast army, their industrious and honest off cials, their excellent educational insti- tutions It is all wonderful, but not to my taste. IwOuld rather live ill a rough country and carry a revolver than feel that policeman was always at my back.
 We Americans may carry too far our admiration for German education. And this is directed particularly at parents who think of sending their boys to 8 gymnasium or the university. The Ger man boy learns all enormous amount, but it is usually at the expense of his health, and always at the expense of time which should have been devoted to canoeing, fishing, shooting or sailing, MT. Edison once told me that he ad- mired Germans very much as chemists; that they were the only people patient enough for that work; but so far as other useful knowledge was concerned, he could say little for them. And, as we all know, Edison is an expert on the subject of labor value.
 There are several things which Cor many could never have producod-for instance, Golden, AEIahdms Lincoln, Henry Ward Beecher and Thomas Edi- on.-Harper' Weekly.

Why He IaIlp.hp1.

The thin man laughed immoderately, and the fat man naturally wanted to know the occasion for it.
 "Why, every time l see you," ex- plained the thin man, "I think of the remark my boy made. "
 ''What was it?" asked the fat man rather doubtfully, as if uncertain as to the wisdom of making such an inquiry.
 'He wanted to know if you were the baby elephant. "
 ''If had boy who didn't know any better than to make fun of a man be- cause he was fat, I'd thrash him, '" as- serted the f9t man, with some emphasis.
 "Oh, so would l." returned the thin man promptly. "I know how sensitive fat men are as to their size, and would have walloped the boy if 1 had thought he was referring to that, but know he wasn't. You see, when he made the re- mark he was looking straight at your ears.

Occupation and Health.

"There are occupations, which men do not shun as they do work in a gas house," said life insurance examiner,
 (which we consider far more hazardous.
 You will be more likely to find old men in gashouse-men who have worked in the business for many years-than in a brewery. In the brewery men look robust and. strong. They have every ex- ternal appearance of health and would be looked upon by the average man as good risks. But the fact that one rare ly sees an old man in the business shows that the calling, coupled with the hab- it's which it creates, has tendency to shorten life. The iron worker is anoth- CT who is 8 less good risk than the gas- man if all other things are equal. The fine particles of metal which find their way into his breathing apparatus have an effect on his lungs, and strong men in that calling frequently develop pull monary consumption. In fact, all trades and occupations which require working in dust are detrimental to longevity and will kill much more quickly than work ing in we'll regulated gashouse ''- New York Tribune
