USELESS BOYS.

The president of LELAND Stanford
University In California, David Starr
jordan, comes out with the rather
remarkable statement that one third
of the boys OF the world are useless
That seems cruel thing 10 say
even II it is true. Mr.. Jordan says
that he does not mean real young
boys, but boys who are old enough
to be classed as young aien, i,ors VINO
IRE old enough to know what they
want to do. and are doing 1t. If
anywhere near such n large proper
ton OF them are useless and are not
wanted, 1t is important to know why
In the opinion OF President Jordan
they are useless and not wanted
because of their habits. That is
u rather serious arralgnment and
to say the least, reflects discredit
on just such institutions as MI Jor
dan is ut the head of. TO say one
third OF our boys are not wanted
In the battle of life, that they are
useless att the time they should be
proving their usefulness. is to say
that that number have acquired such
habits in the comparatively few years
OF their lives to unfit them for the
sharp battle. They are unframed ana
unGisciplined in mind and body, un-
taught, unappreciativc.
What Is to become of them?
There Is the great problem. Can
We afford TO let such a proportion
o! our young men go to waste? Are
we not in duty bound to try to make
this useless material TIT for some.
thing more than mere waste? Pres
iden Jordan says there Is plenty OF
demand for boys who are trained,
who are loyal. who are cheerful,
who are sober minded. What can
be done to put more that one
thirds Of orr young men in that
Class?

THE CHANNEL TUNED AGAIN

THE CHANNEL TUNNEL AGAIN
The proposal To drive tunnel
under tho English Channel to con
meet the French and English rail
way systems, Is again receiving at.
teEtion, and English feeling is sup
posed, in view OF the good relations
ut present with France, to be more
favorable to the project than ever
before. The chalk strata under the
channel are thought TO be easy to
penetrate. with minimum risk. Tho
distance to he tunneled Is 34.4 miles
IA large contract. In 1883 a tunnel
seven feet In damater was driven
5521 feet In s 12 months on the
French side. This was later extend
ell to II length OF G,033 feet and
dinmnter Of ii feet. nine-tenths of
It being under the channel. The new
proposal Is to have two twin tubes
90 feet In diamater and so feet
apart for traffic, with an auxiliary
smaller tunnel for drainage and con-
struction purposes. Tho ventilation
Of tunnels 81 miles long presents
difficulties. Seven years are proposed
for the completion of the job recent
experience of tunneling gives conf
dence that it can be done in 81
short time.
While the engineers have II all
figured out how the channel can be
constructed and the commercial side
OF both countries want 1t, there Is
great doubt II the tunnel Is ever
constructed. Parliament hesitates to
give the necessary consent because
of the ever present fear OF invnsison

lund's safety. A tunnel would re-
move that isolation to n large eX-
tent and that Is what the army ard

MOTOR POWER FOR FARM WORK.
While windmill of sufficient size
under favorable conditions would fur
nish almost ideal power for doing the
various kinds of farm work in which
stationary power is desired, yet the
fickleness and uncertainty of the wind
often make this form of power unsat-
isfactory even for the mere pumping
Of water. AS a substitute for doing
the work of a mill of large size the
gasoline engine is coming into quite
general use, the advantage in it being
that 1T can be used not only for pump
ing water. but for grinding feed, saw
ing wood, shelling corn. separating the
milk and other purposes where power
of this kind is needed. Where the
housing for the engine can be made
warm enough so that water will not
freeze in the engine room during the
coolest weather the type of engine
bought is quite immaterial- is,
whether it is water or oil cooled type
but where barn or shed is the only
shelter given the engine-and this is
usually the case-the oil cooled engine
is far preferable to any other kind, as
1t can be run in any kind Of temporal
ture, and there is no danger of the
cylinder Jacket freezing up and burst
ing or the packing being forced out of
place while one is in bed and asleep or
anywhere else. An oil cooled engine
of a reliable make which we have used
for period of three years we find very
satisfactory. 1t. is as steady as an
eight-year-old Norman mare, is always
reliable and ready for use and con-
sumes but 80 cents worth of gasoline
when operated continuously for a pc
Rod Of ten hours. Four hundred dol
lars would not buy the engine in ques-
ton If, we couldn't get another just
as good to take its place. On the other
hand, if one can Judge from the hear
say and printed experience of others.
there is probably no device of man
that has larger measure of inanimate
cussedness wrapped up in 1t than
bucking, balzy gasoline engine, and the
cheaper, shoddy makes may be quite
safely included in this class and may
be counted upon sooner or later to
show characteristic symptoms" For
ty or fifty dollars in the price of an en-
CINE isn't a drop in the bucket when
compared with a fellows peace Of
mind, nerves and morality. A well be-
haved gasoline engine is one of the
most useful pieces Of machinery on the
farm, balky one most aggravating
and useless.

THE COUNTRY PASTOR.

True, large space is not assigned
him in the columns Of the daily press
of the country, yet there would seem
to be no other class of people who are
exerting a more potent or helpful in
f1uence on the age in which they live
and whose lives are. really and funda-
mentally more worth while than that
comprising the country pastors. Where
one person comes in personal contact
with and has the privilege of listening
to the polished oratory of the high
salaried city pastor thousand draw
their inspiration and form their ideals
from the faithful pastors to be found
in the country churches, whose mod
est spires are the beacon lights that
point the way to heaven. 1t is to the
labors of these that thanks are chiefly
due for the high average standard Of
righteousness, justice and morality
which characterizes Americans as a
people. Each pastor has his round of
weekly duties-the preaching of the.
gospel message, superintendent of the
uenevclence of the church, the bap-
Using of the babes, the marrying of
the young men and maidens, the car
rying of cheer into the homes of the
sick and messages of comfort to the
dying, the speaking of words Of APP
probation as dearly loved ones Of the
church family and community are laid
In their last resting places, in all striv-
ing to be patient, sympathetic, helpful,
often poorly rewarded in worldly goods
and as often only half appreciated.
But through all prosperity and adver-
sity, uplift and Encouragement, he la
bors on, the passing of the years CIV
ing unmistakable witness to the worth
Of his ministry and the dignity of his
calling.

A SIMPLE REMEDY.

The complaint the country over rela-
tive to the scarcity Of teachers would
seem to, and in fact does, emphasize
the paltry pittance which teachers re-
ceive in many localities. It is not in
reason to expect that good stout man,
whatever his intellectual attachments,
who can get the equivalent Of $35 or
$40 the year around doing farm work
and from s. to 81 per day during har-
vesting and husking, will quit his Job
for teaching at $50 per month, nor to
expect the young woman to remain
long at the same work when she can
get the job Of turning f1apjacks for
this same young man and have only
two or three instead of twenty or thir-
ty kids to look after The only Way
Of increasing the available supply of
teachers is to increase the pay offered.
just as has to be done in other lines
either this or a doing away with the
district school and a substitution
therefor of the township school, with
Its more commodious and better equip
ped buildings, larger library and in
creased laboratory facilities and better
educated and higher priced teachers.
One of these two courses will have to
be followed If the situation complained
Of Is to be relieved.

A pRoFITLEss PRACTICE.

Another effort will be made at the
present session of congress to secure
the passage of legislation which will
put stop to the free seed graft. In
view Of the fact that varieties Of seeds
that we're originated in 1875 are still
sent out as something rare and new, in
view Of the further fact that the dis
tribution Of the packages of seeds is of
no more value in promoting a congress-
mans chances Of reelection than if
they were thrown into the Atlantic
ocean, and since one-haIf of the seeds
sent out are not put in the ground at
all, public sentiment may be fairly
classed as in favor Of doing away with
the business. If the federal govern
ment has lot Of funds on hand that
are lying idle, let an amount equal to
that which has heretofore been invest
ed in free seeds be divided equally
among the several state experiment
stations where there is some likelihood
that it will be used really to promote
the cause Of an enlightened and pro-
gressive type of agriculture.

VALUE OF INDUSTRY.

Much safety as well as wholesome
ness in the matter of educating the
child, boy or girl, will be found along
the line of teaching him some useful
employment, the boy the fundamentals
of some manual occupation, the girl
some one or more of the household
arts. Not only is it right that the child
should render some service for the
privileges he enjoys as a member of
the home circle, but occupation at use
full work or employment will fill many
vacant and otherwise useless hours,
which, unless devoted to positive rec
reation, are likely to prove both worth
less and demoralizing, and as a result
the rearing Of the child is greatly SIM
plifed.

DANGER I'm nAMpNEss

It is the early freezing Of the seed
corn before it is thoroughly dried out
that impairs or entirely destroys its
vitality and terminating power. If the
corn saved for seed be thoroughly dried
and kept in dry place, it makes little
difference whether the temperature be
warm or cold. OF course this does not
overlook the fact that the warmer the
place where it is stored the drier it is
likely to keep. The testing Of the seed
for planting should not be done until
the severest weather Of the winter is
over

FRIENDS AND ENEMIES.

The examination Of the crops Of
some 10000 birds by the department
at Washington seems to prove beyond
doubt that the bobolink is pest in the
south, where he spends his winters;
that the sparrow, linnet and crow do
much more damage than they atone
for In any service they render, while
the robin, warblet, wren, catbird,
cuckoo, hawk and owl should be count
ed as most valuable friends in spite Of
the trespass that any one of them may
now and then be guilty of.
