PRACTICAL EDUCATION.

The great revolution in business
methods has given rise to new order
of things, an order that demands spe-
cial training, practical adaptation OF
things. The age of the theorizer, the
dreamer, is past. The world of reali :
ties, with it's manifold problems, co n
fronts US.
Most institutions of learning have
awakened to this fact, and are fast
eliminating from their curricula those
studies which do not in some way help
the student. The dead languages are
giving way to the modern, the theo-
retical training of the past to the
practical which fits men and women
to cope with the real in life.
Many students, who stand high in
school and college, prove but sorry
bunglers when they are called upon
to go out in the world to earn their
living. Graduates who can conjugate
Greek verbs glibly, who can write
composition in several languages,
who can talk brilliantly, and theorize
in mastery way, often fail utterly
when they attempt to reduce their
theories to practical terms. Perfectly
at home in the university or college,
they find themselves completely at
sea in actual life.
We know plenty of these brilliant
impracticables, who impress one as
knowing great deal, and yet never
seem to accomplish much. Like
fish thrown up by the waves on the
beach, they seem to be out of place in
the workaday world of facts. In the
world of theory, they can swim, but
on the beach their fins are useless. A
practical business man, when asked
his opinion of one of these impracti-
cables, said: "Oh, he is one of those
men who are always soaring after the
infinite, and diving after the unfath-
ENABLE, but never pay cash."
One of the defects of So called
liberal education is that it does not
sufficiently the fact that
the great object oflife is to achieve, not
merely to theorize and study. Any
course of study which tends to paralyze
the practical faculties, and to turn
the creative energies into theoretical
or impractical channels, will be con-
demned by the better sense of this
century. Exchange.

Poor Value of Eggs.

Eggs, at average prices, are among
the cheapest and most nutritious ar
ticles of diet. Very likely you have
heard the statement good many
times before, but it will bear repeating.
Like milk, an egg is a complete food
in itself, containing everything
necessary to the development of
perfect animal, as is manifested from
the fact that chick is formed from it.
1t seems a mystery how muscles,
bones, feathers and everything that a
chick requires for its development are
made from the yolk and white of an
egg; but such is the fact, and it shows
how complete food an egg is. It is
also easily digested, if not damaged in
cooking. Indeed, there is no more
concentrated and nourishing food than
eggs. The albumen, oil and saline
matter, as in milk, are in the right
proportion for sustaining animal life.
Two or three boiled eggs, with the
addition of a slice or two Of toast, will
make a breakfast sufficient for a man
and good enough for king.

Nothing Like 1t.

The whole of New England and in
| fact the whole world is talking of the
| Pan American Exposition which
| opened May and continues until No
vember 1, 1901. 1t is by far the most
complete and artistic Exposition ever
gotten up, and everything Oh exhibit
ton is we'll worth seeing.
New Englanders will be particularly
interested in the Manufactures aud
Machinery Exhibits, SO close is their
connection to the interests therein
contained, yet the wonderful exhibits
in Uncle Sans three buildings and in
the Electricity Building will prove
instructive and profitable to every
visitor. There is no branch in science
or industry that is not represented;
neither Is there a country in the
Western hemisphere but what has
deemed it advisable to exhibit at Buff
falo, and you can depend upon iJ that
everything worth showing will be
shown.
Buffalo is just the city for a great
exposition. It's location is on the
shores of Lake Erie, assuring a cool
and delightful temperature. It's every
street is like a park, and all its envi-
rons are conducive of pleasure. A
delightful ride of less than an hour
takes you to Niagara Falls, which is
one of the greatest natural attractions
IN the world.
The best line to Buffalo from any
point in New England is via the Bos-
ton and Maine r. r. This route lies
through the famed Berkshire and
Hoosac Valleys, than which there is
none more beautiful. The Boston &
Maine has arranged for low rates to
Buffalo from all points on its line, and
if you are going to the great show

Choosing the Higher.

AS any book, however good, may be
bad one to US if it takes the time
which might be spent reading a be tter
one, so any work, any occupation,
may be comparatively bad for us,-if
we are free to choose-if we are adapt
ed to something higher. In other
words, we should aim to do the high
est and noblest things possible and
practicable.
No man has a right, for instance, to
develop his brute qualities, while b is
higher nature lies dormant or afro
phies. 1t is a shame for a young ma n
with vigorous physique, fine brain,
and great possibilities, to choose a ca
reer which brings his purely anima al
qualities into activity and destroys
his higher manhood, for his nobler
qualities must inevitably perish for
want of exercise. Natures law
Use or lose, "-is memorable.
How many young men of ability, of
fine education, and robust health, are
literally throwing away their lives in
some degrading business, which ele-
Yates nobody, but on the contrary,
demoralizes and contaminates every
one who comes in contact with it.
Does it pay young man of godlike
powers and infnit } capabilities to os
tracize himself from society, to forfeit
the respect of his fellow men, for the
sake of few pal5ry dollars which he
has accumulated at the cost Of de.
bauched conscience, and the destruc
ton of his better self? Can any
amount of money or any physical
pleasure compensate for a career on
which society frowns, and which ones
better self condemns?

IN EMERGENCIES.

IF woman's dress is suddenly en-
veloped in flames, instead of running
to her or out of the house, speak dis
tinctly and commandingly: "Lie down
and roll overt" Meanwhile, rip up
the carpet or drag off a blanket,
throw it over the person, and then
proceed to wrap her up closely IN it;
this is more certain and speedy ex-
tinguisher than water, is more accessi-
BILE, and entirely safe to the person
giving aid.
If man faints away, instead Of
yelling out like savage, or running
fit to Ii him up, lay him at full length
on his back on the floor, loosen the
clothing, push the crowd away so as
to allow the air to reach him, and let
him alone. Dashing cold water over
a person in simple fainting fit is a
barbarity, and soils the clothing I'M
necessarily. The philosophy of
faipting fit is, the heart fails to send
the proper supply of blood to the
brain; if the person is erect that blood
has to be thrown up hill, but if lying
down, it has to be projected horizon
tally, which requires less power.
If a person swallows poison, de-
liberately or by chance, instead of
breaking out in multitudinous and
incoherent EXPLANATIONS, despatch
someone for doctor; meanwhile run
to the kitchen, and get half glass of
water in anything that is handy, put
into it a teaspoonful of salt and as
much ground mustard, stir it an in
slant, catch firm hold of the PERSONS
nose, the mouth will soon fly open,
then down with the mixture, and in a
second or two up will come the poison.
This will answer in a larger number of
cases than any other. If by this time
the physician has not arrived, make
the patient swallow the white of al
egg followed by cup of strong coffee,
because these null1fy a larger number
of poisons than any other accessible
remaining in the stomach.
If limb or other part of the body
is severely cut, and the blood comes
out by spurts or jerks, per sdlten, as
the doctors say, be in a hurry or the
man will be dead in five minutes;
there is no time to talk or send for
physician; say nothing, out with your
handkerchief, throw it around the
limb, tie the ends together, put stick
through them, twist it around, tighter
and tighter, until the blood ceases to
flow. But stop, it does no good. Why?
Because only a severed artery throws
out blood in jets and the arteries get
their blood from the heart; hence to
stop the flow the remedy must be APP
piled between the heart and the
spot-in other words, above
the wound. Ifa vein had been sever
ed the blood would have flowed in a
regular stream, and slowly; and, on
the other hand, the tie should be ap
piled below the wound, on the other
side of the wound from the heart, be-
cause the blood in the veins flows to-
ward the heart and there is no need |
of such great hurry.-NationGL Educa-

Where and how to spend the sum
mer is a question to be considered by
nearly every body. If you are not in
terested, you should be, and if you are,
consider New England, with It's great
wealth of mountains, rivers, lakes,
seashore and historic spots.
In the heart of the Appalachian
Range, the secondary range of Amer
lea, which includes the famous White
Mountains, are hundreds of places
where you may enjoy the cool, quiet
grandeur of the magnificent panoram
ic scenery, it's grand precipitous rocks,
its green fields end the beautiful sill
very lakes spr1nkled here and there
like bits of broken mirror.
Think of the places where sports of
all kinds may be enjoyed, including
the popular games Of golf, polo and
tennis.
Leave the mountains and turn to
the beautiful lakes and streams, or to
the vast grand ocean which forms the
eastern boundary of New England,
here boating, fishing: yachting and
bathing are participated in more than
in any other part of the world.
New England lacks not historically,
but can boast Of containing many rel
les of the early pilgrim settlers, as
we'll as Of the Indian and Revolution
airy periods.

diminished vitality.
They don't stop to think that vitality is the
principle of life that it is that little under

Diminished vitality is early indicated by
loss of appetite, strength and endurance, and

VIEWS ARE MODIFIED
Presidents Speech at Buffalo
Looks Like New Depart.
ure on Tariff.
MAKES COMMENT AT THE CAPITAL
Couple OF Extracts Nhat Contain the
Significant Part OF the
Discourse.

Washington. Sept. president Nc
Kinley's tariff and reciprocity address
at Buffalo bears out many of the things
that have been said of late about his
broadening attitude on those questions.
and will greatly encourage those men,
bers of the Republican party who are
in favor of adapting the tariff to new
conditions. In the eastern press the
address is very generally and favor
ably commented upon. 1t is the edi-
torial leader in practically every news
paper in New York. Philadelphia. Bal
timore and Washington. Not one of
them hut cordially indorses it. To
Washington politicians. aware OF the
strenuous attitude of the New England
Tariff League and kindred Organiza-
tions. the address comes somewhat in
the nature of a surprise. They did
not think that the president would
speak so frankly. They were not even
sure that his extreme views of eleven
years ago had undergone change.
Does Not Go into Details.
Already they are making predic--
tiOns as TO what his message TO con
gress will contain. If in his public
address to the country lie is willing 10
L
Buffalo. what. they ask. will he not
say when il comes 10 officially advis-
ing the legislative branch of the gov
crnmeut? The president does not dis
cuss details. These changes will work
out. But by his inference he throws
dhe enormous weight of the executive
influence into the scale in favor of an
elastic tariff which will adapt itself 10
the changing needs of the country and
in favor of the reciprocity treaties
which the senate treated so cavalierly
in the Fifty-siXth congress.
Passage That Is Significant.
One of the significant passages in
the presidents address is the follow
ing: We must not repOse in fancied
security that we can forever sell
everything and buy little or nothing
If such a thing were possible it would
not be best for us or for those with
whom we deal. We should take from
our customers such of their products
as we can use without harm to our in
dustries and labor. Reciprocity is the
natural outgrowth of our wonderful
industrial development under the do
nestle policy now firmly established.
What we produce beyond our domes-
tic consumption must have vent
abroad. The excess must be relieved
through foreign outlet, and we should
cell everywhere we can and buy wher-
ever the buying will enlarge our sales
and productions and thereby make
greater demand for home labor"
His Remarks About the Tariff.
Then i'm another part of his speech
he said: "The period of eXclusiveness
Is past The expansion of our trade
and commerce is the pressing problem.
Commercial wars are Improbable. \
policy of good will and friendly trade
relations will prevent reprisals. Reel
procity treaties are in harmony with
the spirit OF the times: measures of re-
taliation are not. If. perchance. some
OF our tariffs are no longer needed for
revenue or to encourage and protect
our industries at home. why should
they not be employed to extend and
nromote onr markets nhrOadT'
