lLLITERATE INTELLIGENCE.
There Are Men Who Cannot Read or Write Who Possess Much
 Wisdom.

An acquaintance once ex- pressed surprise that Thomas 5. Reed, who had keen appreciation hor the niceties of learning, should devote much of his time to man mho was famously deficient in hiction and grammar. The re- mark was repeated to Mir. Reed, says the Saturday Evening Post. and his reply was characteristic. He declared that his illiterate friend was, in reality, one of the most intelligent men he had ever known; that his knowledge, though unlettered, was broad, clear, sane and human. He added hhat some of the best educated men he knew were men without book education.
 We find these men of natural and acquired knowledge in every walk of life. II is the habit of the frivolous to ridicule their lapses and the thoughtless constantly express wonder that they should amount to anything in the life and business of the times. As a matter of fact, many of the men who have given money for educa- tional institutions and whose idle als have contributed much to the development of education itself could not at any time in their lives have passed the examination of the primary department of q pub lie school. But their intelligence was larger than mere rules.
 We have unconsciously brought the distinction into our terms of speech. The ready man we accept as one who has the common sense and information in his head. He has it at his finger tips, We say. He knows what's what, we add. He is at home in any situation, we add again, and so on through all the synonyms of plain knowledge At the same time we look upon the finely trained man, the man oi learning, as one who can grind out ideas, who can cram, catch ar idea, catch on, get up a subject

and all the variations of the abil. ity to use the education which he has acquired. We need not under estimate either kind of knowledge in order to appreciate both.
 The difference is simply a rec ognition of conditions. We laughed when in reply to congrat- ulations upon a signal duty nobly performed in crisis an American governor replied: q seen my duty and done it." but we never thought, even amid our smiles, that there was real ignorance in the man who performed the public service.

Lake shirwa Disappears.

It is reported in Petermann's Mittheilungen that Lake Shirwa, discovered by Dr. Livingstone in 1859, southeast of Lake Nyassa in Central Africa, has entirely disap- peared, with the exception of few small ponds in it's bed. In Living stones day the lake was 30 miles long and from 10 to 15 miles wide. At least it was thus shown on the map. Lake Ngami, also discovered by Livingstone, has since disap- peared. The cause of the changes appears to be a gradual drying up of bodies of water in Central Af- rica. It is not a process of sitting up of the bottom, like that which has recently affected the shore line of the Sea of Azof.
