where less than two-thirds of the peo-
pie are in favor of it. Mr.. Spencer's
opinion that immense evils may result
if intellectualization is pushed in ad-
vance of moralization" cannot be con-
troverted. But general education has
become a necessity to enlightened, pre-
gressive peoples. If the system of ed
ucation now in vogue fails to bring
about the desired result, i. g., mental and
moral progress, then let us change the
system, but not discard education al
together, nor even restrict it to the
few. We cannot afford to take a step
backward. We dare not stand still.
1t is our duty to move onward. And
the belief that state education can be
made the best means to aid man to
overcome the difficulties that lie in the
way of progress, is more and more TAX
ing firm lodgment in the minds of the
thinking people of our time.

Fear causes more diseases than do
microbes, more deaths than famine,
more failures than panics; it costs
more than war, is always a failure and.
is never necessary. Fear weakens the
hearts action, induces congestion, in
vites indigestion, produces poison
through decomposing foods and is thus
the mother Of autopoising, which eli
ther directly causes or greatly aids in
the production of quite 80 per cent Of
all our diseases. F. Meacham, M.

A Mathematical
Problem.

At lecture at the Royal institution
on the fascinating subject of 'Magic
Squares" Major P. A. MacMahon, E. r.
S., reminded his audience of the exist
ence of a curious problem which, de-
spite its apparent simplicity, has never
yet been solved. He commended it to
the attention of any one present who
desired to exercise his ingenuity and
patience.
The problem is as follows: There are
thirty-six officers of six different ranks
and drawn from six different regi-
ments, and it is required to arrange
them in square of thirty-six compart-
ments, SO that in each row as well as
in each column there appears an Off
Ger Of each rank and also an officer
from each regiment
+ Major MacMahon, who has added SO
much to our knowledge of the theory
of groups-a fascinating branch of
mathematics which has an important
bearing on many branches of physical
science-has not yet found key to the
mystery.
Whoever can solve this problem or
prove that it cannot be solved will
achieve immortality on the lips of
mathematicians and perhaps open
door into a new realm Of the scientific
wonderland which is called pure math-
ematics.-London Post.

bor$eIes$ Hse and Warfare.

The increasing use of motor vehicles
IN France has caused a perceptible
diminution in the number of horses in
Paris, and it is said that the minister
of war finds that he has in the city
$500 fewer horses available for requisi-
tiOn in the event of mobilization than
there were a year ago. In the same
period there has been a drop of 1000 in
the number of omnibus horses, and
one of the cab proprietors has reduced
his stud by $50 animals. London En-

The failure of the experiment made by the Boston & Albany railroad in billing its r0adbed to reduce dust should not be accepted as proving that the ,'cheme is not practicable for wagon roads.

Labor Day, though of comparatively recent origin, is now generally observed in the United States, and in the large cities, where labor questions occupy a larger share of public attention than heretofore, the parades are immense affairs. Labor day fills place of its own, and on this day labor shows it's strength in numbers, it's place in the activities of the world, and it's solid worth and citizenship.

IT WAS 4 FARCE.

The Globe Silver Belt passes the fol- lowing criticism on the Crawford pri- mary plan, under which the Democrats nominated their candidates recently:
 "The primary election held in Globe last Saturday was farce, and in sev. eral instances did not register the will of the Democratic party. It may be contended that the election was held under the Crawford primary plan. If SO, then the rules and regulations of the Crawford plan were simply qualifi- cations to govern in addition to those prescribed by the general election laws.
 "At last Saturdays election men voted who were not citizens of the United States, who had not resided in the territory the required time, who did not reside in the precinct, and many who are not Democrats. It is no exag- geration to say that fully one-quarter of those who voted were not qualified.
 ''rhe success of one or another of the candidates, or of the party itself, Is of small importance when the sacredness of the ballot and the inviolability of the law is in question.
 'Last Saturdays election was an un. seemly scramble, disreputable to some of the candidates and humiliating to the Democracy of Gila county"

A Pennsylvania Pastors Disquisition

Coudersport, a.. December 21.-"But is dancing graceful? IL may be. E.e- plants have been taught 10 dance, but 1t did not make them graceful. Many animals can dance, but it is said a monkey can beat them all. The dane ing commended in the Bible was not a sensual pleasure, but a religious ex- ercise. totally unlike the modern dance. because there was no intc-miuglng of the sexes
 Thus the Rev. Charles K Newell. pastor of the First Baptist church. in this city. summarized in his sermon to his congregation this morning on
 Dancing"
 Continuing. he scored the modern smart set as follows.
 Church members who dance, all though leaders Of society, and perhaps adr5ired and esteemed by their friends. are not, as a rule, the Christians who are the best known for Christian Graces or religious devotion. Dancing has the approval and practice of the sc-called best society, but the demand Of society is not always the demand of our Lord.
