Education q Gift.

In the common schools of the United
States are now enrolled more than
5000, 600 children, or about one-ffth OF
the population, under nearly half mil
lion teachers. As this education Is
given to the children free 1t is at the
bottom. says the New York Sun, and
very truly, of the nature of charity.
The state takes them under its guar
dianship SO far as concerns their ele-
mentary instruction and bestows on
them its bounty. The state exercises
function in behalf of its citizens in this
matter of education of very much the
same kind as it employs in their sanl-
tary regulation, now carried to SO great
an extreme of expense and of detail.
Like school instruction, this sanitary
regulation is a measure of self-protec-
tton for the state. since unsanitary con-
sdftions In particular district affect in

which the region is situated. HOspit-
ais. also. are maintained for a like rea-
tson, or not merely for the particular
benefit of the sick in them but that the
general public health may be protect
ed. From the cradle to the grave the
poorest citizen is looked after by the
municipal authorities. The whole ma
,chinery Of society is organized for his
benefit. The defective and the delin-
.quent and even the vicious are looked
after without regard to any share they
may have in paying the cost or in in
.creasing it. The spirit of charity ex-
tends its wings over the whole COM
immunity. So also the college and uni.
,versity may be called a benevolent in

latest statistics of the United States

than half of the education of these

TO the students, most of the institu-

Munificent gifts to these endowment

which is not in need Of more. Appli-
cations for still further benefactions
are urgently made by the oldest and
most famous universities in the
union. These facts cast no reflection
on the pupils and students. but prove
simply that the educational advantages
these enjoy are largely of the nature
Of free gift by society or by indi-
viduals OF wealth.

barred from gathering them PERSONAL

may be in sorrow, and the children
have revived the English method of

These baskets may be made at home or
may be of an inexpensive kind pur-

A Stockport IN. w. poultry farmer
has had great trouble of late because
his hens were not producing the proper
number of eggs. A nearby neighbor
has q fine flock of hens which were
working overtime to produce eggs.
While hanging over the back fence
listening to the triumphant cackle OF
his neighbor's hens. says a local in
fOrmant, an idea struck the luckless
owner of hens. He went into the house
and brought out his monograph, in
serted a blank record and succeeded In
getting a fine imitation of the cackIing
Of the laying hens. He then installed
the phonograph in his own hen house
and started it going. The first day the
hens we're greatly amazed, but the Sec
Ond day they got down to business
and ground out an egg every time the
phonograph cackled. The hens have
stopped cackling themselves. however,
and when the phOnOgraph stops tney
stop laying and the originator of the
idea has to sit in his coop all day long
