ed at her home, near Jonesdale.

Whitford, thinking he heard something

returning to the house, he placed the
gun in the kitchen and went back to

morning to tend stock, ETC., he forgot
the gun, and while Mrs. Whitford was
engaged in getting breakfast, her little
son CHANGED to spy the weapon and just
as his mamma requested him to leave
it alone his hand came in contact with
the trigger and the gun went off, the
whole charge penetrating one of Mrs.

FRENCH SOLDIERS
SHOW ILL|TERACY

PARIS. April 27.-Some curious rev.
Citations have been published regarding
the condition OF education OF the
French soldier.
An officer. while resting after a
march, asked one or two of his men
out of curiosity what they knew OF
Joan OF Arc. The answers were such
as to surprise him in no small degree.
Painfully impressed by the mems
ignorance he drew up a short cate
chism containing the following ques-
tions, which he submitted to the men
in his company: what do you know
of Joan of Arc. of Bayard. of Louis
XIV, of the French Revolution, Of Ma
poleon /, of the war Of 1870. Of Alsace-
Lorraine?"
Most of the men had to confess that
they knew nothing at all about the
subjects on which they were being
questioned. Others who attempted to
answer showed the most deplorable
ignorance, such as "Bayard was a
great sailor" Louis XIV was an Of
ficer who lived in 1547," Napoleon
was the Emperor of the whole world
for 100 days" "Alsace-Lorraine Is a
great town of France" Napoleon died
in prison after being taken to Cier-
mont Ferrand," Joan Of Arc was one
OF the Queens OF France who was
burned by the Prussians in 1870" 1.-THE
Revolution took place because OF the
death OF Louis XIV"
Sixty per cent OF the men had never
heard of Napoleon.

The Hawaiian Forester and Agricul
turist, which has just come out, con
tains the following:
By far the most important event to
the agriculture of this Territory which
has been recorded for some time, is the
provision by the Legislature of suf1i-
cient fund to establish and maintain a
well equipped Agricultural College. The
exigencies of modern life have made
it incumbent that the agriculturist of
today, in order to be efficient ard to
render his land fully remunerative. be
a man of wide knowledge and expert
ence, whose methods are founded upon
the substantial basis of practical sci
enee. The days have long since passed
which only demanded of the tiller of
the soil that he should follow the slow
and laborious footsteps of his progeni-
tor and be content with scanty har-
vest wrung from the unwilling earth.
TIN ouCh uiplOS1CooifC anu COASS1
tive methods the agriculture of the day
has no concern, and the country, whose
people are contented with them must as
long as they obtain, remain backward
and undeveloped.
The necessity of imparting the tech
nical knowledge necessary to modern
husbandry by means of scientific edu-
eational institutions has only been prop
erly appreciated in comparatively re-
cent times. It has been brought about
by number of different agencies, some
of them operating from without and
others having their inception in the
itself. The cumulative effect
of the conditions referred to, taken as
a whole has been to render ever more
and more exact1ng the amount of spe-
cial knowledge and training necessary
in the successful agrieulturist. The
quantity of expert information now de-
can acquire it from mere personal OBJ
servation or from serving an appren
ticeship in the routine of an ordinary
farm. It is therefore necessary that
educational institutions be established
where the sound practices of modern
agriculture may be acquired. To eff
feet this, recourse must be had to well
nigh every department of human knowl-
edge. The geologist, the botanist, and
