ENGLAND NEEDS
MORE EDUCATION
Handicapped in the industrial
Race With Germany and
America.

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-The London
Times publishes the following, which has
been cabled to the New York Times
Richard B. Haldane, NJ. P. OiberaD, in
a speech on education at Liverpool last
evening, said the lack of educational
spirit in the middle classes, complained
of by Matthew Arnold a quarter of a
century ago, would still exist but 1or :he
fact that those classes hod suddenly
found their position threatened Ivy
commercial combinations. They had
been forced to realize that courage. en-
ergy and enterprise, in these modern
days, were of little more avail against
the weapons science could put in The
hands of their commercial rivals than
was the splendid fighting of the dervishes
against the shrapnel and Maxims at On
durham.
1t was not wonderful. said Mr. Hal
dane, that England had been beaten in
the manufacture of iron and steel by the
United States, but it was startling that
she had also been beaten by Germany
Clearly. England was under the neces-
sity, in these early days of the twentieth
century, of making a resolute effort if
she was TO hold her own. She might not
be able to continue to surpass the
United States. Nature had handicapped
her in that race But Great Britain
must maintain the increase in the vol
ume of her trade
Mr.. Haldane went on to show how sci
entific training had improved LIE brew
ing trade of Germany, which country
had applied science TO the practical
workings of the industrial world. The
manufacture of aniline dyes from coal
tar, discovered in England, had lately
shifted wholly to Germany.
The speaker argued in favor of techni-
cal training to help solve the problem.

NEVER HASTY AGAIN.
Atonement Made by Sir Edwin Ar
mold to One He Had UnjustIy
Chastised.

The affection of almost total blind
ness has fallen upon Sir Edwin Arnold,
the charming Etterateur and world
wide traveller. All the world regrets
this sad blow and sympathizes with
the victim. Many years ago-it was
back in the '50's-Sir Edwin, then plain
Mr.. Arnold, was pedagogue at King
Edwards school, Birmingham. In
those days there used to be placed on
the masters desk an inkstand, a roll
book and a stick. The story tells how
the future poet and journalist abol-
ished the stick.
1t was sweltering day and the sub
ject of the lesson was Ode Amicitia."
With an inattentive pupil the master
lost his temper. The stick descended
and he struck hard. The culprit pro-
tested that it was the unprovoked as
sault of next-door neighbor which
had caused his thoughts to stray. The
next-door neighbor confessed and the
victims assailant was chilled with re-
morse. Calling the boy out, he
handed him the stick and ordered
the boy to strike him-the master.
Imperatively commanded, the boy
obeyed, and the stick was never more
used thenceforward.

show of her predatory visitor aid to

might most have needed it., Mr.. Stuy-
vesant should have gone off with your

dows were closed by the sliding
blinds. Even if he leaped from them
it would be into narrow court shut
in by ten-foot spike-topped stone
wall. He had chosen the veranda
climbers favorite hour, that which
found the family at dinner on the
back gallery, and the quiet streets
well-nigh deserted save by his own
skilled and trusted 'pals," from
whose shoulders he had easily swung
himself to the overhanging structure
at the front. He would doubtless
retire that way the moment he had
slowed beneath his loose, tapping
ropas such items as he deemed of
marketable value.
He was even now stealthily moving
across the floor to where her dress
ing table stood between the westward
windows. The man must have the
eyes of a cat to see in the dark, or
else personal and previous knowledge
of the premises. If she could only
slip as noiselessly out by the foot

grab him as he sprang, she might
hope to hold him for a second or two,
and then Brent and DR., Frank would

All her trembling was from excite

But strong and steady hands were

their normal tone. She slid from I'M

out sound. The sturdy yet elastic
bottom of plated cane never creaked
or complained. She softly pushed
outward the fine mosquito netting,
gathered her dainty night robe close
ly about her slender form, and the
next minute her little bare feet were
on the polished hardwood floor, the
massive door barely five short steps
away. She cautiously lifted the net
ting till it cleared her head, and
then, crouching low, moved warily
towards the dim, vertical slit that
told of subdued light in the salon.
There was no creak to those thick
blackwood planks with which Manila
mansions are foored. Her out
stretched hand had almost reached

Returns and Claims Estate.

After being declared dead by the
courts, Robert Smith Quackenbush
has returned to Black River Falls
to claim his own. He left there with
his father for the west in 1868. His
father died the same year, leaving a
life insurance of $4,000 and other
property to his three sons. The last
heard of young Quackenbush was a
letter written to his mother dated
Portland, Ore, February %, 1890.
Soon after, for some reason, he
dropped the name of Quackenbush,
taking his middle name, Smith. He
was then lost sight of and it was
thought that he must be dead.

THE LAND OF DREAMS.

c wonderful country of Dreamland!
There our children wander in sleep
Over fields that are always verdant,
By streams that are never deep;
There always the golden sunshine
Falls on fountains of crystal light;
There the roses are always thornless,
And the skies are wondrously bright.
o, fair, glowing country Of Dreamland!
Would 1 could thy history tell,
For it's not the little ones only
That come under thy magic spell.
What visions beyond description
Often come to our older eyes;
What scenes of strange, wild beauty,
What marvelously perfect skies;
And, sometimes, a glimpse of that City
With its glistening streets of gold.
And the Eternal Hills whose beauty,
Nor pen nor tongue has told
o, marvellous country of Dreamland
We shall never thy boundaries know,
Until light from the land supernal,
Floods our souls with its radiant glow!

the Dairy Reporter, says: 81 made trip
last summer into the hardwood timber
belt on the 500 railway in northern Wis
consin. 1 was surprised at the natural ad-
vantages offered to dairymen in that local
ity. There is an abundance of pure water;
clover, timothy and blue grass do excel
lently. The soil is productive, as is shown
by the crop grown on the lands in cultiva-
ton. This section is destined to be fine

climate, soil, pure water and nutritious
grasses are found here The location has
another advantage, being on the 800"

Boston, where the best prices are obtained.
The lands are very low in price. The
soil is rich loan with clay subsoil, very

AGREEABLE FEATURES.

The Gentry dog and pony show is having
difficulty in handling the crowds that gather
at each matinee and night performance this
week In the big tent a Capitol avenue and
Sixteenth street, although the seating fa-
cilities are much greater this season than
they were year ago. The show has in
creased in attractiveness as well as size and
as a natural result ii is being given cor
respondingly larger share of patronage.
A peculiarly agreeable feature Of the
ganization is its admirable discipline.
Women may attend the performances with

Little children also are the objects of espe-
cial care and attention At the close of
