but an inferior title. Thus the nobil-

,nnrease of Education.

w. T. Harris, commissioner OF edu-
,,+ion in his annual statement to the
secretary of the interior, just issued
presents some statistics of a gratlfy-
inp character. They show that the
at,cregate enrolment in the common
schools for 1S97-9S exceeds that OF the
previous year by 390,s41. The grand
total of all schools, elementary, Sec
ondarv and higher, public and private,
was 16.6S7,643, which is an increase
for the year of 432,55O, A little more
than one-ffth of the entire population
is therefore enrolled in school, says
the Chicago Tribune. The average
amount of schooling per individual OF
the whole United States is five years
of 200 days each. Some states aver
age seven years, while some fall as
low as two and half. In the same
connection an increase of attendance
in colleges and universities of nearly
1000 is reported, showing that the
slight decrease reported in 1897 was a
temporary falling off due to the wide
spread depression of the previous
years. The report also says: The
increase of that portion of the stu
dents of colleges and universities taxi
ing postgraduate work shows that
the people are feeling the necessity OF
special studies in scientific and profess
sional lines. Taken in connection
with the fact that the United States is
coming into more intimate relations
with the people of Europe and Asia,
the value of special studies in science,
sociology, politics, Jurisprudence and
similar topics with view to acquir-
ing expert knowledge is sufficiently
Obvious" The friends of education
certainly have every reason to be
thankful this year.

A Young Girls Heroism.

Near Wilkesbarre, Pa, on the Lehigh
Valley railroad, there is small station
where a 19-year-old girl is agent. Few
trains stop there, except when sig
nailed, and the grade is very steep. One
night there was an Invalid who wanted
to go to Buffalo, and the train stopped
for him. AS the train hands were car
rying the man out of the station, there
was dull rumble far up the mountain.
The girl agent heard it and sprang for
the nearest brakeman. Train on the
grade!" she shouted. run back and
flag her!" AS he dashed away, the
girl ordered the other brakemen to set
down the invalid passenger and jump
other posts, while the engineer opened
wide the throttle and the train pulled
out. The noise up the grade was loud
er now, and it was seen that a run.
away engine was flying down the noun
tain. The express had little start, but
the runaway had twice its speed, and
a disastrous rear-end collision seemed
inevitable. Far down the track cleaned
the rear lights of the express, and as
the runaway dashed after it, the specta-
tors held their breath with horror. A
half hour passed, and then the runaway
engine reappeared and backed into the
station. There had been a slight col
lision, but the express had gained such
headway that no damage resulted. 1t
was the prompt action of the girl sta
ton agent, however, that averted a
smashup.

BOOKISH BRIEFLETS.

Careless reading never made a we'll
read man.
Hasty writing spoils book. but so
does hasty reading.
Every book is self-revelation which
only sympathy can interpret.
1t is never fair to judge an authors
work without intelligent and sympa-
thetic attention.
Never imagine that there is moral
virtue in reading. A great reader may
be mighty scamp.
Thank God for libraries! but, after
all, every man must come at last to
his own private thinking.
Don't imagine that you are big enough
to find all that is hidden in a great
book. Even the author finds more than
he knew.
The reader can protect himself. If
the author is fool, he drops the book.
But the author has no protection against
the misinterpretations of foolish read
ers.-Congregationalist.

THAT the Republicans hoped the DEM
ocrats in Congress would make caucus
measure of Congressman Roberts case
was evident from the first. But the Dem.
ocrats were not caught in the trap so
cleverly laid for them. and so Mormon
ism" and the State of Utah still continue
in the safe anchorage of the Republican
party. But the proposition to have some
of President McKinley's Mormon ap-
pointees examined on the same grounds
alleged against Roberts has borne fruit in
Republican declaration that "the case
for excluding him (Roberts) thus far, is
fatally defective and its success would
be menace to American liberty" The
above quotation is from the New York
Sun. Congressman Roberts will be seated q,
but it is evident the Republicans have
some new project up their sleeve.

THOSE who are interested in such
things, and they are very interesting,
should compare the campaigns of Wash
ington and the Revolution with those of
the Beers. There is wonderful
similarity in methods of warfare,
of patriotic devotion. of varying successes
aud reyerses, and so far the Beers have
outdone the efforts of our noble ancestors.
Singular enough our ancient ally, France,
is to-day. the only outspoken friend of
Beers among the nations. Even Ameri-
ca, who owed SO much to France in I776
is to day behind her in generous symp-
athy to the outraged and prosecuted
Beers. 1t is. noted, however, that the
sentiment for the Beers is growing all
overour Iand-from Borough Councils to
State Legislatures, the people are vocing
their feelings in vigorous resolutions that
condemn Engan and offer comfort and
best wishes for President Kruger and the
South African Republics. To-day thous
ands of Americans are offering to fight
for the Beers if given the chance-and it
is likely they may get the chance. We
believe, and we hope. that Great Britain
will fail in this present conflict.

MR.. PoU's SPEECH.
"The True Spirit of Masonic Life
ABLY Discussed.

A feature Of the evening was the elo'
quent address OF Mr.. ia. w. Pou, ON
THE True spirit of Masonic Life. Mr.
Pou declared that the natural state of
man is combat and that mere CIVILIZATION
has been unable to prevent the crushing
of the weak by the strong. Combined
wealth stands forth as Il mailed Phills-
tine and doggedly detes the will of the
people. Demand of him that he obey the
law and he strikes at you and demands
more power for himself The laboring
man is treated with contempt by him.
and the cry of the poor for bread is de-
nounced by him as the song of anarchy.
Now what is the spirit of Masonry: 1t
is that wealth shall divide its bounty
with poverty. not forced by law but Ill
love and charity; that labor is a dignitied
and honorable condition of man, and
that the cry of the poor shall not be
heard in vain
Mr.. Pou then traced briefly the hon
orable history of this oldest of existent
organizations declaring that for CEN
turtles it has been the promoter of edu-
cation, the preseryer of history and lit
erature, the patron of the noble arts,
the friend of liberty" Why has Mason
ry succeeded? The first and greatest
reason is because it teaches a profound
faith in God. while leaving to members
always the largest measure of religious
liberty The second reason of its success
is that il has been intensely charitable.
The speaker then reviewed the charity
work of the order in North Carolina.
Another reason Of Masonry's success IS
that it teaches men to be broad, patriotic
and tolerant. INDUCING in partisanship
neither i'll politics nor religion. Masonry
has always been conservative and loyal
to government. Il potent agency in main
tanning and sustaining the true principles
of government 1t is ut all times or
thOdoX and has been Il great ballast to
the ship of State in times of peril. 1t en-
courages industry and economy. 1t is
firm in the belief that the rights of
property shall he respected. 1t is the
friend Of all legitimate progress.

to Vance whom he declared to be the
model Mason and patriot
