Galveston, Texas, March 25.-The ma

ABUSING AN EDUCATION.
The Neglect of self-Culture Is Ruinous
Waste fulness of Advantages.

The Neglect of Self-Culture Is n Ruinous
astefuiness of Advantages.
In thoughtful paper on "a Waste
Of Education" in the Woman's Home
Companion, Brand Bunner Huddleston
speaks of the tendency of women to
permit their talents to rust out: Men
tai culture may be the most costly or
the most valuable gift of parents to
their children just as they care for it
after they get it. 1t is certain that few
would equally neglect a material prop
erty of like monetary cost as they often
do their educations. This, too, when
money is the very shortest tape-line
by which mental gift may be meas
ured. Perhaps it is due in part to the
mistaken idea that when we have
quilted the school room we carry with
us stationary fund of knowledge that
VIII, or ought to be sufficient for our
future. Look at the piles of
hard dollars and the ilimitable hours
OF time spent every year in the study
and practice of music alone; except
Tor the good they are to teacher and
10 the makers of musical instruments,
the half might as well be wiped out of
existence at one clean sweep. A decent
little eternity might be made out of
the time. And this continues to exist
and repeat itself generation after gem
GRAFTON in the very face of the fact that
music is an incompatible addition to
home life, and on that account, If for
no more lofty or selfish reason, ought
to be perfected and never neglected
by Woman. How many of your women
friends will undertake to entertain even
the family circle with a creditable per-
tormance? Usually their pianos stand
idle from the period Immediately sue
ceeding their marriage until there are
daughters old enough to be put at les
sons; then the old folly will be re-
peated What folly? Not the placing
OF children to study music or any other
accomplishment that is for their good
or that the purse will permit. Let them
have all the advantages within reach,
but also teach them appreciation; the
Jolly consists In fostering through ex-
ample, and by tacit acceptance of the
existing state of things, the idea that
1t can be other than sinful waste Of
time to acquire a good thing and then
neglect it. No one has any business
to learn thing that is not worth re-
membering. 1t is foolish from mere
ly unitarian point of view. Thus 1t
may not be possible or desirable for
every mother to teach her own chill
dren, though some count it a sweet
privilege to do so, yet it pays them to
keep thoroughly posted, if only to
Judge of the quality of work being
done by the teacher, and to supply that
home cooperation which is so need
full to the conscientious student and
the teacher"

Washington, March 25,--In earnest of
the present situation, it may be stated
that President Mckinley yesterday had
in conference the leading members of
the senate, including Senators CoclSrell
Faulkner, Bacon, Waltall and other
democrats and republicans Yesterday
Mr.. Mckinley found it necessary to
summon Governor Joe Savers and Joe
Bailey into his confidence. These gen
tlemen were called to the White House
by special messenger Mr.. Bailey in
the morning and Mr.. Sayers in the
evening. Both had long conferences
with the president on the Cuban situa-
ton. Both refuse to be interviewed
as to their communication with Mr..
Mckinley. The reporter, however, is
in ii position to say that the dispatches
heretofore sent are absolutely justified
by today's developments; the hforma-
ton which comes to me tonight from
sources which are absolutely incontro
vertible make it certain that this nation
will be in open arms aginst Spain with
in less than ten days. | am not at
liberty to quote any member of the
house, but l do not hesitate to predict
that there will be actual war within the
time specified.
The New Orleans Picayunes cores
pondent wires his paper; The stun
ton here regarding the all-absorbing
topic of war with Spain has not mater
tally changed. This is not to be n
week of action, but of preparation and
consideration. Next week is to brlns
forth the fruits of the cou;, OK inquiry
investigation and to reveal the policies
of the administration.
The critical period of the controversy
between the United States and Spain
approaches, and is near at hand. There
among the keenest fighters Of the
worlds history.

the waters have receded to an ordinary
high water mark and no further dam
age is looked for While the loss will
reach many thousands of dollars
worth of property, damage will not be
as heavy as at first expected because
manufacturers and householders had
taken extra and early precautions TO
remove the machinery and goods to n

The opposition to the press brought

The opposition to the press brought
out by the press-gag bill at Albany is
astonishing. But for the press very
few of these opponents of legitimate
business would ever have been heard
of; and their Impotence at the right
of fair as well as unfair criticism shows
q weakness that belongs to few bodies
OF men of that size. The influence OF
the press in politics is perhaps not as
great as has been claimed; but there
ought to be some results from this in
Justice.

The greatest activity has already be-
gun here in Cuban circles, and no less

A young woman went into a large

openly to pocket articles from the
counter. On being arrested. she said
quietly that having no home but the
streets, she preferred to spend the
night in prison. The incident empha-
sizes President Eliot's recent caution
to would-be philanthropists. Hospitals
and asylums and reformatorles are but
necessary palliatives of developed evil;
whereas churches, schools, museums,
gardens, gymnasia are instruments OF
moral construction, and to train a
child to avoid evil and pauperism is
better than to help the adult out OF
those conditions.
