The True American Virtue.

The thing whereby America renlly
towers over the old country Is the
thing which Jefferson reared and
Washington defended. The solid good
Of America is that when all is said
and done she is republic, a public
thing and people representing itself.
There are men rich enough and strong
enough almost, to starve America, but
'aere are no men strong enough to
silence America. No oligarchy acts as
an entirely false interpreter between
Americans and the world. Americs
and the Americans may be right or
wrong. But England may actually be
wrong while EngllshInen are right.
We have said, then, that the true Amer
lean virtue is this candid and complete
democracy, the fact that the, truth
may be told even II II ls not believed -

A HARD TAsKMAsTER.
Agassiz Forced His Pupils to Find Out
For Themselves.

When I sat me down before my tin
pan Agassiz brought me small fish,
placing it before me with the rather
stern requirement that. should study
1t, but should on no account talk to
Z any one concerning it or read any
thing concerning fishes until had his
permission so to do. 10 my inquiry,
"What shall | do?" he said in effect:
"Flnd out what you can without dam
aging the specimen. When I think
that you have done the work i will
question you" In the course of an
hour | thought had compassed that
fish. But Agassiz, though always
within call, concerned himself no fur
ther with me that day nor the next
nor for a week. At first this neglect
was distressing. But I saw that 1t
was a game, for he was, as l discern
ed rather than saw, covertly watching
me. So l set my wits to work upon
the thing and In the course OF a hun
dred hours or so thought l had done

seemed possible at the start. l felt

my first notes, and In another week
of ten hours day labor had results
which astonished myself and satisfied
him. Still there was no trace Of praise
In words or manner. He signiled that

about a half peck of bones, telling
me to see what could make Of them
with no further directions TO guide

Just before examination time col.

or "boning" The first, Of course,
means literally stufling knowledge into
themselves. The second was suggested
by the phrase about keeping ones
nose to the grindstonc. But how about
"bonlngT 1t was grateful student
who thus dubbed the process Of alb
sorbing information, for he named II
after the "trot" or pony" that he
used.
1t was the famous Bohn library Of
translations TO which the English stu
dent resorted as an ever ready help In
time Of trouble. Henry George Bohn
started his library in 1S46 and began
what afterward become u big business.
For one thing, he began purchasing
"remainders'--th Is, the old plates
OF standard works and translations-
and printing cheap editions from them.
Bohn found the publishing of stand.
ard foreign works In English so prof
table that he developed the business,
and it used to pay to buy translations
from poor hack A. BIS who were glad
enough to get n farthing or two for
their knowledge. ,
Finally practically all the ancient
classics and some modern ones were
obtainable In the Bohn library, and SO
popular did they become among stu
dents who feared being plucked that
Bohn's German was turned into Eng
lish, and "boning" was henceforth rec
ognized as digging into dead writer's
works by means Of the crafty publish
er's ranslations.--New York Tribune.
