Too Much Learning.

What people in Bible times Thought
of one who studied many books is shown.
by the judgment expressed in one pas.
sage of Scripture, "Much learning hath
made him mad" Learning does not Of
ten make q man downright crazy, but
porting over books makes him ineffably
stupid very often. 1t makes him un-
businesslike, absent,ninded and forget.
full of the very things he needs most to
know. The venerable aud respected Ii
brarian of congress, Hon. ~. r. Spot
ford, is u case to the point. Like IL thun-
derclap came the announcement three
years ago that "a shortage of $50, 600 had
been found in his library accounts. He
could not possibly be dishonest, said
those who knew him. Yet where was
the money: He could o tell; nobody
could tell, and the poor gentleman at
length begged to make good the deficit
out of his own savings Of q lifetime,
which he was allowed to do. Not long
since, in moving the contents of the old
library to the new building, a pigcon-
hole filled with money orders, postoffice
orders mostly, was found, some of them
dating back 20 years. The man of much
learning had simply forgotten to get
them cashed.
The successful business man, the
great inventor, the artist, even the most
original writer on economic subjects, is
seldom the college graduate. Technical
schools and manual training schools are,
of course. greatly needed, the more the
better. But of that education which
transforms Il live maj into a dull, near
sighted, absentminded student of mere
books we have enough and too much.
Live men, full Of practical experience,
men with q clear, quick eye and red
blood in them-these are the ones want
ed. If they have also scientific and tech
meal training, SO much the better, but
III more bookw orms, no more book
worms. The demand of today is that
we think our own thoughts. not those
Of others.

Observation-Disclosures
Antifat Mr.. Banting's Joke.

The late George Won Bunsen, the ac.
complished and delightful son of the
baroness whose Life and Letters are
we'll known i'll America, once told me
al anccdote of tho late Princess Mary
of Teck and the celebrated Banting.
The princess became, in her middle life,
enormously stout, and finding her
weight IL burden tried several methods
of reducing it. AT last, having heard
much of Banting, she GENT for him. She
was surprised to see that he was still
extremely Lulk.y, and after a few civil
preparatory remarks she said, "But
your system has moi made you very thin,
Mr.. Banting."
ALLOW me, madam" said Banting.
And proceeding to intuition his coat
he disclosed 81 large wire structure over
which the garment fitted. Inside was
the real Banting, incased in another
coat.
"This, madam said he, pointing
with pardonable satisfaction to his
cage, twas my size before l commenced
dieting" He then nimbly disembarrass
ed himself Of his framework and stood
before the royal lady exhibiting his ele-
giant figure.
Apparently the interview led to moth
ing but amusement, for the good Ouch
ess of Teck remained very stout to the
end of her days.-Exchange.

The utmost that the Cuban patriots

today will leud anything to Spain. She

The desperate state of Spain is shown
by the result of her attempt to introduce
autonomy into Cuba. 1t is likely that
the queen regent and Sagasta honestly
endeavored to give Cuba a partial au-
tononiy. AT once the tory residents of
Havana Jared up and declared that new
CT should autonomy lie enforced OH the
island. They would have the old regime
just as it was Oh nothing. Rather than
see autonomy they would let the island
be lost to Spain altogether. 1t was these
tories who melted the hostility to Amer
leans i'll Havana which resulted ill mobs
and rioting.

His Life Not Dull.

The Buffalo Evening News publishes
what purports to be the diary for six
days Of a baseball umpire. Those who
complain that their lives are tame and
who want excitement day by day to
wake them up should try umpiring
baseball a season or two. Lion tanning
and bulltighting are a dead calm of ex-
istence beside the umpire's pleasing
tasks.

The admirable monthly consular re-
ports issued by the United States gov
eminent have been of great advantage
to American merchants and manufac-
turers. They have also added much to
the stock Of information Of the people
in general. To a right minded person
these reports are most interesting as
we'll as valuable reading. The system
has now been enlarged to include a
daily publication of consular reports.
Every day the bureau of foreign CON-
merce at Washington issues bulletins
containing advance sheets of the re-
ports. These will be sent Oh application
to newspapers, boards of trade, mer-
chants and manufacturers and others
who want them. 1t is to the interest of
everybody to increase IL foreign trade,

ter than the consular reports which
have become IL feature of the govern
ment publications. Consuls are instruct
ed to look after trade possibilities es-

Virginia Apples.

The apple crop in many parts of the
country was a failure in 1897. Not so
in Virginia. The mild, equablc climate
of the Old Dominion permits the rails
ing of apples as regularly as the seasons
fall. Mr.. j. H. Hale reported to tho
Hartford Courant that in his Wander
ings among the hills of Virginia in the
autumn he found one farm ON which the
1897 apple crop sold for S15, 600 and
another where it brought $14, 900, the
purchaser gathering the apples himself.
The apples in these two orchards be-
longed chiefly to one particular variety,
the Newtown Pippin. Mr.. Hale found in
tho apple counties buyers searching
eagerly for this one fruit. Why the
Newtown Pippin in particular? There
are other apples as good and beautiful.
Well, the Newtown Pippin happens to
be the special kind of apple that many o
year ago struck the taste of her majesty
Queen Victoria. Immediately the whole
British nation. brave toady that it is,
took to the apple in question, and from
that day to this is has been considered
the best and greatest in existence. 1t is
an apple "to the queen's taste" The
buyers whom Mr.. Hale found among
the Virginia orchards were British pur-
chasers, and they wanted the fruit for
export. This variety Of apple happened
to be planted widely in Virginia. Lucky
Virginia!
Nodoubt now all the fashionable peo-
pie in America will take to dsvouring
the Newtown Pippin. American Or
chardists who have planted DE- who will
plant it at once will reap good profit.
