FINE NEW HEARSE,
NEW AND LATE STYLE GOODS
For Thoroughness.

Three institutions devoted to "high-
er education" viz, the University OF
Minnesota, the Northwestern Univer-
Sity and the Ohio College, have re-
Gently made a long step forward by
taking one backward. This appar-
emit paradox has been made consistent
with truth by the decision of these
several institutions to reject all appll-
cants for admission who cannot pass
satisfactory examinations In reading,
writing, spelling and English compos-
itiOn.
This decision simply provides that
the foundations of the students e1u-
cation shall be solid and strong
enough to sustain the heavy super
structure Of the college curriculum
which Is to be built upon them. There
are some preparatory schools which
give all needful attention to teaching
the fundamental studies which are
the only true basis Of higher educa-
ton, but there are too many that give
too little attention to them. Almost
numberless instances might be cited
Of the list of courses In preparatory
schools that are rldlculously over
weighted by studies which are not
appropriate to such schools, and
which should be left to the college or
university.
If the foundations Of house or edu.
cation be weak, the education no more
than the house can be strong. Thor
oughness does not begin at the top
and build downward; it begins at the
bottom and builds upward. But too
many Of our preparatory schools, pub
/ lie and private, reverse this rule, and
seem to regard with slight favor the We
ny rudlments Of education. They seem
to assume with DOgberry, that read
ing, writing, spelling, arithmetic and
composition come by nature, or are
learned In the nursery, or are too trl-
vial to be seriously considered except
in the primary schools.
No more serious mistake can well be
made by our educators. The statue,
the feet Of which are clay and the
body Of metal, will not stand, neither
will an education weakly constructed
below and heavily weighted at top. In
this respect the thoroughneSs is all,
and 1t must begin with the first prln-
! ciples Of education, the reading, writ
Ing and spelling books and the arith-
metlc.
The root Of this, as Of so many
other evils, is the desire TO climb too
fast. There is no short way any more
than there is any royal road to learn.
ing, and the difficult and tedios ac-
quirement Of an education nothing is
so necessary as that the first part Of
the road shall be entirely familiar to
the would.be scholar. The schools
appear to be ambitious To play the
role Of the college or university rather
than to do their own special service
to titly prepare pupils for college or
university. Should they lop of al
together many Of the branches they
so inadequately teach and give more
time and insist upon more thorough
study Of the fundamentals Of educa-
tlon, the curious spectacle would not
be presented Of institutions Of high
er education making a condition Of
entrance a knowledge OF reading,
writing and spelling. Such a condi-
tlOn Is a serious reflection upon our
hools.-Phlladelphia Ledger,

OF JESUS.

The New York-Maryland province
of the Society of Jesus has just quit
ted Frederick, Nd, permanently, after
having had its novitiate there for
many years. Its new novitiate is on
the banks Of the Hudson, not far from
Poughkeepsie. and removal was made
thither during the past week. This
province is the largest of the two in
the country, having 252 fathers, 24O
scholastics and 100 lay brothers. Jes-
uits in the whole country have SOC
fathers, 754 scholastics and SIG lay
brothers. Their second largest PROV
ince Is that OF Missouri, where they
are in charge of st. Louis university,
but they have prosperous missions
in New Orleans, In the Rocky Noun
tains and In California, There is a
province for German Jesuits, with
headquarters In Buffalo. Their reason
for quitting Maryland is said to have
been persistent i'll health among the
schplastics. although Jesuits have al
ways carefully avoided saying that
Frederick is an unhealthy location.
The new novitiate on the Hudson is
one immense building, 300 feet long,
with two wings. each 900 feet long.

thousands of dollars have passed the
plates here n the treatment Of the
ores taken from the different mines.
Thirty-two thousand five hundred
and fifty tons of tailings from tho
South Homestake mill have been
cyanided up to the present and out
of this 1850 tons, $81,375 in gold
have been taken and it is estimated
that only about 20 per cent of the
gold has been saved nv the cyanide
methods used.
All Of these tailings came from ores
E.i:led from the Sous Honlcstake
mine except 122 tanks of 35 tons each
making 4,a70 ton that came from
the Old Abe mine. This leaves 28,-
Isl tons of South Hone STAKE taiiings,
which have produced in gold over
eighty thousand dollars, the amount
taken from Old Abe ore being about
$1,000.
This yield shows that there was a

Brmestake mill AMI that the ores
from this mine if proper values are
ed are as Itch as thar of any mine
in the camp, not even excepting the

WAR NEWS.

The latest indications Of activity In
the war department is the following
from Springfield. Mass, under date Of
January 31st:
Orders have been received at the
United States armory to rush the
shipment Of 100000 Krag-Jorgensen
rifles to arsenals over the country.
Half of the order has been nlled
and it is expected that the other rifles
will be shipped before the end OF the
coming week. The order received
from Washington states that the rifles
are needed because of the passage Of
the militia bill. Colonel Frank H.
Phipps. commandant at the armory
says he has received no other informa-
ton further than to have the rifles
rushed with all possible haste. In
consequence all other orders have
been put aside until this one is filed.
The general belief In armory circles
is tina the rush feature Is because
of a desire on the part of the war de-
partment to take no chances, but to
be prepared in case of This les

WAR PROSPECTS.

For months past Venezuelan af

Venezuela owed certain debts to
the citizens OF many of the European
countries, and also the citizens of the
United States.
France by negotiation arranged a
peaceful settlement of debts due

& the kaiser paid a visit To his roy
al cousin king Edward of England.
The newspapers made slight men

operations against the poor little state
of Venezuela. Soon after his confer
ence the warships of Germany and OF
England quietly crossed the ocear.
and confronted Caracas, the yenezue-
Ian capital.
Without excuse or justification
some OF the warships of Venezuela
were destroyed and a blockade of her
ports commenced. and thus the little
state vas sealed up by the war res
sells of Germany and England.
Venezuela offers 80 per zen of her
revenues to be applied annually to
the payment of her debts.
The kaiser and king now insist that
before any other power is paid any
thing. that Germany. England and
Italy must be paid in full. Thus the
controversy stands today. Germany
has been trying to buy the little Chill.
an warship which looks suspicious.
Meanwhile this government has set
the navy yards to active work. One
