ALiber.r Education.

Professor Huxley held this opinion as to what constitutes a liberal educa- hon:
 The man has a liberal education who has been so trained in youth that his body is the ready servant of his will and does with ease and pleasure all the work that as mechanism it is capable of; whose intellect is a clear. cold, logical engine, with all it's parts of equal strength and in smooth work ing order, ready, like the steam engine, to be turned to any kind of work and spin the gossamers as well as forge the anchors of the mind; whose mind is stored with knowledge of the great and fundamental truths of nature and of the laws of her operations; one who, no stunted ascetic, is full of life and fire, but whose passions are trained to come to halt by a vigorous will, the servant of a tender conscience; who has learned to love all beauty, whether of nature or of art, to hate all vileness and to respect others as himself Such one, and no other, has had a liberal education. @

Some Boston Boasts.


 sThe Hotel Pelham was the first French apartment house, or flat, as they have now come to call them, to be opened in the United States" said an old Bostonian. At that time the late Dr. Dix, who owned the property, had returned from a European trip, where he got the idea. Upon his return he brought it with him, the Pelham was fitted up in that way. and the idea has continued to spread until it has gone all over the country. Another thing that you may have forgotten is the fact that the Parker House was the first hotel in the United States to be conducted on the European plan. It was in Boston hotel, the American or the Revere-I forget just which one it was-that the elevator was first in- troduced. d."-Boston Record.

Sacred Keys.


 Every persons feelings have front door and side door by which they may be entered. The front door on the st Some keep it always open, some keep it latched, some locked, some bolted with a chain that will let you peep in, but not get in, and some nail it up, so that nothing can pass it's threshold. This front door leads into a passage which opens into an anteroom, and this into the interior apartments. The side door opens at once into tho secret chamber. There is almost all ways one key to the side door. This is carried for years hidden in a mothers S bosom. Fathers, brothers, sisters and friends often. but by no means so uni versaily, have duplicates of it. The wedding ring conveys right to one. Alas, if none is given with it!

odd Idea of Eclipses.

The Nanpes, tribe in South Amerf- ca, have an original explanation of the cause of eclipses.

WASHINGTON, July 13.-By passing
over the cotton and wooden schedules
without taking up any of the amended
paragraphs. and skipping the disputed
points connected with the rates on
lumber. in the wood schedule, the tariff
conferees were able today to dispose
of about 400 amendments
Many important subjects were sub
mitted to subconferees.
When the night session was begun
the conferees had reached sundries
near the last on the schedule Sc
many matters have been put over for
future sessions, however, that it is diff
ficult to tell just how much progress
has been made.
The moment a member of the con-
ference energies from a session, he is
surrounded and briefs relating to
various schedules are thrust at him by
lobbyists. Some of the conferees have
adopted the plan of refusing to ac-
cept these arguments, basing their
declination on the ground that the bill
has been considered in both branches
of congress, and that it is now the duty
of the conference committee to har-
n9onize the differences without outside
influence of any kind,
Few of the conferees predict a report
can be made before a week from Sat
urday, but some go so far as to fore
cast August l or later for the adjourn
ment of the extra session.

Discrimination Forbidden

WASHINGTON, July 13.-All dis
elimination is not forbidden by the act
to regulate commerce but only such
discrimination as is undue. This, In
effect, was a decision of the interstate
commerce commission announced today
in the case of the Herbeck- Demer CON-
pany against the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad and the Pennsylvania rail
road The complainant has travelling
statesmen who carry about 1850 pounds
of baggage, on all over $50 pounds OF
which they have to pay excess fare. II
was urged that when railroad
charged the same amount for carrying
a Messenger without baggage as II
charged a passenger with $50 pounds OF
baggage, it was discriminating against
the former in violation of the law
The commission held that the railroads
had a right TO stipulate the amount OF
baggage to be carried.

TAFT BACHELOR
OF WHITE HOUSE
PRESIDENT SHARES FATE OF
WASHINGTON RESIDENTS
Head of Nation Takes Automobile
Rides After Days Work in Capt.
tai, and Also Takes Ath-
letic Exercises
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, July 13,-Presldent
Taft, the summer bachelor" of the
White House, is sharing the fate of
many other Washington residents
whose families have gone away to
mountains or seashore.
The president, however, is taking the
situation philosophically. Living bach
elor fashion at the White House is not
traught with the same discomforts
that heset the mere man who has his
home CLOSED up on him when his wife
goes away.
President and Mrs. Taft developed
the White House help when the Oc-
cupancy of the Beverly cottage was
begun, so that the president is well
taken care Of.
The president, however, allowed Mrs.
Taft To take the first cook to Bey-
erly while he makes himself content
with the second cook" a negro girl
named Mary, who halls from Virginia.
and whose sway over the White House
kitchens is complete.
The president has happily solved the
problem of disposing of the long even
iEgs by taking automobile rides about
the city and suburbs.
Arising at about o'clock, the presi-
dent deVOtes nearly an hour to dumb
bells, pulley weights and other forms
of exercise prescribed for him. He
breakfasts slowly and usually alone.
Between $3.50 and 10 o'clock he begins
his busy day i'm the executive offices.
At 1870 comes luncheon at the White
House, at which he has some invited
guest for company.
The afternoon is devoted to golf.
Dinner always finds guests assembled,
and usually it is an informal meal
which begins a little after 7 o'clock
and continues for an hour and half
