Education in France.
From Harper's Bazaar.

From Harper's Bazaar.
The whole system of education in France
takes cognizance of the situation of the in
dividual in a way absolutely unknown to
our American system of education. There
is education for the masses in France. but
this is regulated so that child, boy or girl,
is instructed according to his station in
life If the child has it in him, he may
advance to what rank he will, but in the
beginning he is taught such branches of
knowledge as best comport with the limita-
lions of his lot in life as it actually exists.
When necessity compels. the French girl
receives an education which enables her to
be self-suppOrting- that is, she is taught a
trade or profession. She is taught this,
however, in relation to the law that if q
man will eat he must work, which Is made
to apply to both sexes alike in France; she
does not, therefore. aim to be self-support-
ing in order to attain the emancipation of
her sex from any of the relations and func-
lions which nature imposes upon women:
on the contrary, the trades or professions
in which she is most often skilled are those
which pertain to the household and to the
rearing Of children.

Compulsory Voting.
from the Philadelphia Ledger.

Australia has been prolific of political
and economic novelties. The Australian
ballot system. or some modification of it,,
has been adopted in all. or nearly all, Eng
disappearing communities. The latest
proposition in that inventive country is a
compulsory voting bill, government meas
ure, now under discussion in Victoria. The
measure is offered to arouse the electoral
apathy which Is said to have been increas-
ing of late all over Australia. The failure
to vote is to be punished by fine of IS,
but curious concession Is made to the
lazy citizen in a provision which permits
him to send his ballot by mail. Belgium
has a compulsory voting law, and the sys-
tenn has been debated in the Canadian par
lament. Voting by mail would seem to
open the door to fraud, but possibly the in
genious Australians can devise restrictions
and safeguards which will make the plan
practicable

Hard to Draw the Line.
From the Providence Tribune.

1t were greatly to be desired that some
more definite rule could be laid down with
respect to the degree of mental alteration
which renders man legally irresponsible
for his actions. No doubt this is mat
ter which it is very difficult to settle with
any degree of precision. The limits of
sanity and mania are as vague as the
limits of land and water in a sandy soil.
Each runs into the other with subtle
confusion Of the boundary lines and We
can make only broad distinctions such as
shall save us at least from going egregious-
ly wrong. Medical science has made Won
derful advances; we know really more of
the physical structure of man. of the ac-
ton of the brain, and consequently of tho
diseases of the mind than we did a century
ago; and it seems therefore but right that
some of the legal theories of guilt and re
sponsibility should be revised In the greater
light the lapse of years has brought This
is far from saying that the law should
adopt or that juries should guide their
course by ell the queer notions of special
lists in cases of insanity: but it is neces-
sary that such grave issues should be con
sidered in more philosophical. or rather u
more scientific. spirit than has often pre-
vailed in courts of justice.

"Drunk" in French.
From the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
The French have some interesting SMILES
Of their own corresponding to our drunk
as a lord" or drunk as a wheelbarrow."
The most generally recognized one In the
case of "ivre." the less extreme and less
vulgar word for drunk Is ''ivre CONNIE
une soupe'-"soupe'' meaning the piece of
bread eaten with soup as well as the soup
itself, and a "bouillon" soaked piece of
bread Offering natural smile for satura-
ton. When the less delicate soul is used
instead of .ivre," the Frenchman may
speak Of being as drunk as an ass, a COW,
a Swiss, or thrush. The allusion In the
last case is to the fondness Of thrushes for
grapes, which are said at vintage time to
make them unsteady In their night.
