co.EDUcATIoN.

There seems TO be an impression In
many minda that cur age Is peculiar
in the educational and other privileges
extended TO women. The question has
again been brought 20 the front by
comments on the now famous utter
ance OF Prof. Sumner relative to un-
happy marriages. II IS argued that
there are fewer unions OF this class
now than there were formerly. because
now women are more generally taught
"a be self-relianl. "co-education, or
equal educational advantages !, IL
argued. (which now so largely obtain,
have made the difference"
II Is certainly true that there are
greater opportunities now for the edu-
cation OF women than there were for
merly, but II would be an injustice to
the past and TO our ancestors to sup
pose that the women Of iha, time were
neglected, TO any greater extent than
were the men. Neither boys nor girls
a hundred years ago, anu more, had
the educational opportunities enjoyed
today. Co-education. such as II was,
has existed before now. II is not the
distinguishing product OF the closing
years Of this century.
IN the sixteenth and seventeenth GEN.
turtles the noble ladies Of England
were generally educated together with
their brothers. Many OF them were
learned and highly accomplished. They
often knew how to dance, ride shoot
with bow. play musical instruments
and 50 on. Some Of them were able
over their embroidery to compare and
converse intellgenily about the style
OF Isocrates and Lysias. The mother
Of Francis Bacon was distinguished
lInguist and a theologian. she cor

poor or not properly equipped mentally
for the calling OF lawyer, doctor, or
some other profession, turn TO the pull
pit. Some become preachers Gs a last
resort. They have failed IN everything
else and conclude that preaching Is
their proper calling. whereas the truth
Is that the successful preacher prob
ably would make his mark in any line
o. activity he would see 1T TO choose.
Tho bishops warning should be
sounded to all youne men In the various
Institutes Of learning In this country;
Don't become ministers unless You
have a special call eud special talents
for that profession" And It should be
added that special cal" is one given
by divine authority a preacher ", or
should be, an ambassador As such
he must have the proper credentials or
be classed as an imposter. From this
there Is no escape.
Nothing but divine authority can
make the career Of a minister success
full Hard study and engrgy may COM
pcnsate 10 some extent for the lack OF
natural gifts In other calllngs. A man
may study hard and become an ac-
oeptable actor, good writer. lectur-
er, lawyer, or even musician, but no
hard study. no training. no energy can
make minister OF the Gospel OF one
who has no divine authority to preach
and to administer IN the ordinances,
any more than study and training
alone, without credentials can make
onyone an ambassador Of the United
States to the British court. II young
men generally had proper understand
ing Of this subject, there would be few
er instructed lives in this world, less
disappointed audiences and less hypoc-
itsy and error. It Is good thing to
train for the ministry, II the opportunity
Is offered. but II Is sacrilege to pre-
tend TO be minister untll called by
God.

is THE END IN VIEW?

AS the details OF the operations that
resulted in the surrender of Gen.
Cronje become fully known, Lord Rob
erts' eeneralship appears 10 great ad-
vantage. II also appears probable that
the effects OF the captulatlon win be
more far-reaching than at first sup
posed.
The British general first drew of part
Of cronje's army and then flanked his
left with mounted force, followed by
strong divisions Of infantry. The move-
ments were so rapid that the Boer COM
mander. Notwithstanding his vigilance,
was taken by surprise. and commenced
his retreat too late. Cronje did all IN
HIS power 20 get outside the reach Of
the pursuers. His forced march Of
thlrty-four miles was an extremely
dangerous undertaking, but Of no avail
The British infantry followed closely,
and General French's cavalry kept
ahead OF the Beers. and they were
finally surrounded. The success Of the
brilliantly conceived plan leaves no
doubt OF the great military genius Of
the British commander.
The effects OF the victory must be
disastrous to the Boer cause. Even the
friends OF the South African Republics
believe that Il marks the beginning OF
the end Of the campaign. Cronje's
army constituted at the outset about
one-thlrd OF the entire Boer force, and
now that Il has been scattered in all
directions, the power Of resistance OF
the burghers Is that much reduced.
The BOer generals have no source from
which to draw recruits and replenlsh
their armies. At the outset they put
their entire available strength into the
field. They seem to have counted on a
general rising in British South Africa.
But so far this hope has not been real
lied to any notable extent. Cape Col
cny and Natal remain loyal to Great
Britain, with few exceptions. The Beers
are now reduced to the necessity Of
self-defense Their own territory Is
invaded. and many Of its defenders
are captiyes.
This is the present status of the South
African war, one Of the most remark
able In history. That the end Is draw
ing near is confidently expected. And
everyone Interested In the cause of civ
ilization and humanity must feryently
pray that the end may speedily come.
The Boer leaders are intelligent men.
They must know now that by prolong-
ing the struggle, they can only multi
ply the sacrifices that must be offered
up on the altar Of war. As far as hu-
man foresight can perceive, the fate Of
the Boers Is decided; the decree has
gone forth irrevocsbly. The only ques-
ton il as 20 how much more blood is
to be shed In vain effort to break the
seal and tear the edict 10 pieces. We
believe the sentiment throughout the
civilized world IL that the sooner the
end now comes, the better

FOOD authorizations.

The Investigations by the Senate COM
mittee on manufactures have clearly
disclosed the fact that there are hardly
any food products on the general mar
ket, which are not adulterated IN one
way or another Some OF the adultera-
lions are dangerous to the health OF the
consumers, while others are not so con-
sidered. Yet they are made for the pur-
pose Of obtaining a higher price for an
article that, but for such treatment,
would have to be sold cheap. perhaps
have no market at all In either case
The fraud is apparent.
The committee recommends that there
be- created in the agricultural depart
ment bureau which shall fix stand
ard for all foods and drinks, as well as
drugs. A severe penalty is recommend
cd for persons dealing In an article not
corresponding 20 this standard unless
the goods are so marked that the pur-
chaser may know what is the actual
composition OF the article he buys.
II this suggestion becomes law, some
authorizations VIII undoubtedly be dfiy-
On from the market, as the consumer
would not buy them, knowing what he
obtains for his money In other cases
the responsibility for the possible evil
consequences would fall on the con-
sumner himself.
In addition to this It would seem
necessary that ench State be empow-
cred TO Seize and destroy any adulter.
ated food offered for sale within Its
limits, II such adulteraiion ls beyond
a doubt dangerous to the health. Tina,
a doubt dangerous TO health. That
manufacturers would not care to take
the risk such a measure would subject
them TO. The matter is of much import
ance. There should be some way OF
dealing with problem in which the
entire nation Is vitality interested.
