WHAT TRUE EDUCATION is
Rev. Charles M. SheIdon's Idea Of
the Right Development of the
Human Mind.

What is an education? 1t is the
right development, in the right direc-
ton, all the time, of the whole being.
for the purpose of giving one as much
life as possible for himself, and to
share with others.
This means that the whole person
must be taken into account. Educa-
ton means more than a one-sided de-
velopment of one talent or ability. 1t
means symmetrical and many-sided
growth. The reason why there are
not more interesting people in the
world is because SO many people are
content with a one-sided development.
They are willing to be musicians and
nothing but musicians. They are
willing to be newspaper men and moth
Ing but newspaper men. They are
willing to be lawyers and nothing but
lawyers; teachers and nothing but
teachers; ministers and nothing but
ministers. And so their range of
thinking, of conversation, and of ac-
ton is limited True education takes
into account whole being, with many
different possibilities life which
has in 1t the elements of surprise and
an eagerness to know everything
which can be known about a very
great world in order to sympathize
with and enter into the thought, SO
far as possible, of all sorts and con-
ditions of men.-Rev. Charles NJ. Shell
don in the Christian Herald.

Danish Rhubarb.

Cut the rhubarb in small pieces and

MAN OF FALLEN FORTUNES
He Was Stirred to New Ambition by
the Act Of Cigar
Salesman.

cigars Of the brand I used to
smoke" said the man of fallen for
times, "are, like those of many others.
be sold at various prices, and of my
favorite brand there was one partic-
ular size and shape that especially
pleased my fancy and that 1 always
smoked. Stogies I usually smoke now,
but occasionally, when l feel that l
can spare the money, l go in and
buy few of those fine cigars.
For one of thess occasional fond
smokes l went in this morning and,
looking down into the case, | named
my brand and reaching into the case
the salesman brought out box. But
these were not of my size and shape;
l indicated the ones l wanted, and
the salesman brought out that box
cigars at six for a dollar, of which l
now took three. l noted casually the
card on the box which the salesman
had first brought out, and that card
l confess gave me little thrill of
pleasure and then, what was better,
stir of ambition.
The cigars in that other box were
three for a dollar, and had not the
salesman brought them out to me con-
fidently as if l were that sort of a
customer? He certainly had, and I
must look tiff. And if l looked it, why
should 1 not be it? Why should l
continue to be a stogie man? Why
should l not retrieve my fallen for
tunes and far surpass them-come to
be not merely six but three for a
dollar MANI"
