EDUCATIONAL.

Mrs Julia Ward Howe, the venerable author
OF the Battle Hymn of the Republic" who re-
eeived the degree OF IL. ID. recently. listened
philosophically the other day 10 the complaints
of a woman whose sons education at Harvard
was costing great deal of money
MANY sons educations cost a great deal of
money" said Mrs. Howe And yet it is the
most expensive education. usually. that is tbs
least valuable.
i had this fact brought home TO me a short
time ago. 1 was visiting a certain family and
one morning at breakfast the father said. as he
handed his son. sophomore. $40 bin:

WISHING IN THE DEEP SEA
Enthusiasm Shozon by Those Who
Go out to the Banks.

Steamboat catastrophes seem TO make no
Inference with the deep sea anglers. On Sun
days for time past even bigger crowds
than usual have gone sailing down the bay TO
the fishing banks. Since the big pound nets
along the Jersey coast are lifted up at sunset
every Saturday night and kept up until mid
night Sunday as the result of a recent law,
the Sunday anglers say their catches have been
heavier. and the news has won new recruits.
There is kind Of craft. so boatmen say,
which has such a democratic influence on its
passengers as an angling boat. Here is only
cne illustration. Almost every weekday morn
ias "a clergyman and pawnbrokcr go aboard
the same steamboat and. though they have
swapped fish stories by the hundred and Dor
rpvtd hoatoads of bait, they never speak 10
oDe another on land. Even when they first go
aboard they hardly nod to each other and
10th seem under certain constrant until the
land and all its sects and schisms and couven-
toaa.ities begin to grow dim. But after the

E..tion Of the bOatload of anglers is devoted TO
answering two momentous questions. Where is

that Re directs the destinies of two to six hun

OF course there are 4 few enthusiasts aboard
who cannot wait till the ship anchors. On one
boat nearly every fishing day there is 4 native

the stern post the moment the vessel passes

fishing for two hours. he is all ready They call
him '-Sunbonnet Dutch" because of his-head-

hat, tied down to his ears with a black ribbon
One eye is on his hooks, the other on the walk

the latter stop he throws the former into the
depths. He catches less fish than any of his
