AMERICAN MUTUAL TRAINING
FaIIacious Theory that Genius Can Be
 Fostered in the Home.

Since my arrival here a gentlemen has written asking me to help him in the work he is doing to secure the es- tablishment of a National Conserva- tory of Music and Anywhere young people may study. at the same time staying in their homes and losing nothing of their family life.
 Beautiful as the idea may seem, it would be disastrous indeed for the in- dividual. This would do very well for instruction in music as an essential part of any well-rOunded educationi to awaken understanding and appreci- atiOn: to prepare us intelligently to receive and judge the work of the great composers and interpreters. But a person born with genius will hardly find in the home the atmosphere to de- velOp it. for the never-ceasing compli- ments on one side, or the incompre- hension on the otheT would be fatal. The person endowed with genius who has not the courage to go into the world and struggle alone is never go- ing to get to the top of the ladder of fame Let him go and fight it out for himself. Let him struggle and, if

Times upr' yelled the umpire.
thornton felt that all Clinton was
disappointed beyond expression and
deeply ashamed of the showing he
mad made after the college had boast
ed OF his prowess as q drop kicker.
He remained in detected secIusion
during the intermission.
But when the whistle sounded again
he was like another man. Clinton
had the south goal this time, ard
clearly the quarterback saw a girl in
orange swinging a pennant in the
grand stand. Already the throngs
had forgotten his fuke in the hope
of victory in the second half
At the kickoff Thornton sent the
pigskin sevehty yards down the field
and then plunged into the game with
ferocious energy. t-a determined to
redeem himself or perish in the at

Back and forth over the field surged
the teams, while thousands shouted
encouragement.
Neither eleven seemed able to break
down the defense of the other until
toward the end of the half, when
Clinton began to come up the field
steadily.
Thornton, his head clear as a bell,
was playing at frightful pace, giving
DarnaH no time to catch it's breath
after each attack. But thirty yards
from the goal line! Darnall braced
itself heroically and stood like a
stone wall.
"Only one more minute to play!'
called the umpire, and the crowds took
up the shout.
Thornton realized that in so short a
time line plunges would be futile.
There was only one hope of victory,
another drop kick for a goal. While
only twenty yards away, the goal
posts were off to the left at an oblique
angle.
There was about one chance in a
dozen of putting the ball between
them, but Thornton took it. He stood
back Of the line ready to call the sig
nal, and the Darnall eleven, seeing it
was to be kick, got ready to plunge
through and break up the play.
Then suddenly the quarterback, look
ing directly between the goal posts.
saw Leta in the grand stand in an at
titude Of breathless expectancy, and
he knew more than the game depend
ed upon his quickness and skill.
He stepped back few yards, and
with his eye riveted on the figure in
orange he gave the signal in clear,
sharp tones, "Three, double two, elev-
enr'
The ball struck his outstretched
hands, and as he dropped it he shot
out his right foot. The next second
big Darnall guard leaped over the line
and struck Thornton head-on, sending
him reeling senseless twenty feet from
the spot where he was hit.
But the big man was half second
too late, for Thornton's toe had caught
the ball squarely, and it went flying
straight as a bullet between the goal
posts and up into the grand stand, fall
ing almost at Leta's feet!
A wild, deafening yell of joy broke
over the field, but the quarterback did
not hear it. Ten minutes later, when
he came to, q girl was bathing his fore
head, and he caught the glow Of her
bright brown dress. The crowd fell
back respectfully.

What Happened When England Aboi-
ished Their Offices.
In the long room of the London GUS
tom house years ago were twelve Off
GERS styled "cocket writer's" They
wrote certificates that goods had been
duly entered and the duties paid. They
were also known as patent officers be-
cause appointed for life by letters pat
ent from the crown. Their salaries
were nominal, EGO a year, but they
were permitted to remunerate them
selves by extorting fees from the mer-
chants-fees which in some cases
amounted to q thousand pounds
year. In 1851 the treasury determined
to abolish patent offices and called
upon the twelve cocket writer's to fur
nish a statement Of their emoluments.
The officers, ignorant Of the treasury's
purpose, imagined that the govern
ment intended to impose an income
tax Ten Of the writer's, therefore, re-
turned a statement which understated
their fees by several hundred pounds.
The other two furnished an honest
statement. In a few days ten clerks
were surprised and disgusted and two
clerks were astonished, but pleased.
The treasury notified the cocket writ
ers that their offices would be abol-
ished and that they would be compen-
sated by pensions rated according to
the returns they had themselves fur
nished There were gnashing of teeth

iSHMAELS OF CEYLON.
The Rodisas, Curious Tribe of So
ciaI Outcasts.

The Rodisas, Curious Tribe of So
ciaI Outcasts.
There is curious tribe of people in
Ceylon called the Rodigas, who live
the life of social Ishmaels, despised
and cast out by their fellows. Until
quite recently they lived apart from
the abodes of other men, in holes and
caves. In no case may they lie down
to rest with other men. They may not
enter a temple or a court Of justice
and on all occasions are compelled to
'stand afar off," So low down in the
scale of humanity are they placed that
they may not even speak with stran-
gers except through the intermediary
Of a man of the lowest caste above
their own. Of late years their status
has been improved, and they are less
servile in consequence, but even now
they fall on their knees with uplifted
hands to address people of the lowest
recognized caste, and upon the ap-
proach of a traveller they shout to
warn him to stop until they can get off
the road and he can pass without risk
of defilement from the proximity Of
their persons. 1t is curious and yet so
characteristic of society in all coun-
tries and all levels that even among
these people, who seem to have reached
the very lowest rung Of the human lad
der, there are classes and social dis
tinctions. Thus the ambetteyos, or
BARRIERS, and the hanomoreyos, or betal
box makers, are looked upon with con-
tempt by the despised, ostracized Rodi-
gas, who go to the length of shutting
up their dogs lest they should stray
into the houses Of the lowborn or
gnaw q bone that they may throw at
them.-Dundee Advertiser.
