Herbert Spencer's Opinions.

a recent issue Of the Post con-
tanned quite lengthy quotation
from Herbert Spencer on educa-
ton. 1t may be Of interest to
your readers to know that the
book from which this quotation is
taken was published in England in
1861. over a half century ago. Mr..
Spencer's hostility to college
education may have been due to
the fact that he never went to. col
lege himself. He was educated by
his father. a teacher of mathe-
matics. and by his uncle, a clergy
man. His uncle urged him to go
to Cambridge University but he
refused to do so. He became a
civil engineer at the age of II and
worked several years on railways.
He then entered upon journalistic
and literary work. He dabbled in
a great variety. Of subjects,-bi-
ology, sociology, psychology, eth
les, political and ecclesiastical in
stitutions, etc. His attitude to-
ward the Christian religion
brought upon him the condemna-
ton Of all orthodox clergymen
and for years his views on relig-
Gus themes were regarded as
moral poison. His opinions were
argued for and against great
deal in the last century, but for
the past twenty years l have hard
ly heard them mentioned.
He was certainly away off" if
he thought the value of a college
education consists only Of the few
facts which man retains in his
memory and can make use of "in
his shop or his office, in managing
his estate or his family, in play
ing his part as director of bank
or railway" A man may forget
the most Of the historical facts and
dates he has learned in college, but
has not his study Of history served
him any better purpose than this
He may forget how to solve a
problem in quadratics, or how to
demonstrate any Of the theorems
of Euclid. but does this prove that
]. his study of mathematics has been
of no benefit to him? 1t sometimes
becomes rather Wearisome to have

CAVALIER OF The DESERT
Nits, Good Horse and q Good veles
LIE Was Sweet to Al Of the
Sons Of Freedom.

All was son Of the sheik, and was
q handsome young cavalier. although
tho desert sun had burned him al.
most IS black az . negro. His
costume was that Of regular Turk.
ish soldier dirty blue coat with
tarnished brass buttons. dirtier blue
trousers just short enough to show .
considerable amount of dirty brown
ankle above the dirty yellow slippers.
But. as q free son of the desert Ali
refused to wear the fez of Turkish
supremacy, and bound his flowing KAT
uyyeh with tho horsehair ring Of the
Arabs. A long scimitar. inland with
silver and gold. clattered bravely
against the saddle-bags, and a rain
bow-hued sash was stuck full Of an
tiQue pistols and short, sharp knives.
There was nothing servile or shod-
dy, however, about Sheik Ais bear
ing: no false regrets for the boule-
wards and buses Of an effete civiiiza-
ton; but a supreme content with life
chief assets: a good horse and q good
voice.
The former he rode at breakneck
pace, with his accoutrements rafting
like the pans Of runaway peddler.
Once in while, however, Ali would
graciousiy wait for the carriage and,
after inQuiring anxiously concerning
our distinguished healths, would can
ter along with us for few rods, sing
ing to himself in pathetic minor
key.
They were no hackneyed r,:sic hall
ditties that he sang, for every Arab
is a poet and an improvisation. A mo-
nent OF intense, frowning thought, and
then Ali would raise his head and
gurgle out new distich Of Arabic
gutturals. He sang of the speed Of
hts horse and of the barley in the
khan at Jericho; he sang of the beau
tiful weather-it would have been
about a hundred in the shade. If there
had been any shade-he sang Of the
magnificent honorableness of the Eng
lezee gentlemen; and especially he
praised the immense oakrsheesh
which the generous travellers would
surely bestow at the end Of his jour-
ney.-Lewis CASTOR Leary in Serb

BURNED JUDAS IN .EFFIeY
In That Way the Guides Showed Their
Love for the Christian
Religion.

We hanged Judas Iscariot today.
Having expressed our Joy over the res
direction of Christ by gorging our,
selves with roast lamb and bitter
wine. by firing guns, rockets and tor
pedoes and by lighting bonfires, We
gave vent to our remaining enthusi-
asm in one grand burst of mock VEN
geance directed against the unfortu-
nate mortal who was destined from
the foundation of the world to figure
as a cats paw in the plan Of salvation.
The burning took place in the front
of little church of the Virgin, sit
uated on the highest part OF the city.
From pole erected before the door
hung crude, wretched. melancholy
figure stuffed with straw, and ridicu-
lousy suggesting the image of man.
Within the church the priest was con-
Quoting the regular Sunday service.
At last the doors were thrown wide
open and the whole congregation
gushed forth like water from broken
dam, and Immediately thereafter ev-
cry man and boy in the square was
shooting away at the e11gy. Poor Ju-
das whirled about and danced In the
air as the bullets peppered him, and
suddenly burst into flames. When a
Greek feels particularly happy, or
wishes to express his enthusiasm he
produces an old musket or pistol and
discharges It, Resurrection Day in
Greece resembles the Fourth Of July
in the United George Horton
in Argolis.

Humor In a Courts Documents.


Not more frequently than once in
the span of a mans life does the court
of claims at Washington contribute
anything to add to the gaycty of ma
lions, but there is something OF the
light Of humor slowed away in one Of
the documents which accompany the
courts findings in the matter OF the
claim Of Edward Cruselle, heir-at-law
Of Thomas Cruselle, deceased, against
Uncle Sam. 4 in
Mr. Cruselle made a claim for pay
ment for certain supplies furnished to
the United States by the testator "for
use for the suppression Of the re-
bellion.'" as the legal documents
stated 1t. The goods which Mr.. Cru
selle owned and which were seized by
the government and subsequently used
by the Union troops as 9 means OF
crushing their Confederate brethren
were 'sixty-seven boxes of fine chew
ing tobacco The specific brands CT
ammunition were early Dew"
Choice Gem and Peach Leaf"
The members of the court rather
lodged the tobacco issue. They sim
ply found that Mr. Cruselle was loyal
to the United States and that the
EARLY Dew" Peach Leaf and the
rest were seized under General Sher-
mans famous forage 'aiberally on the
country" order. 'ifii ~

European aviation interest is now
centered in the third annual interna
tional aviation salon. which has just
been inaugurated by President Fai-
Heres. The huge space of the salon
building, with it's glare of light and
beautiful decoration, setting off the 200
or more aeroplanes. offers an at
tractive and picturesque spectacle.
The exhibition indicates that pro-
gress and improvement in aeroplane
construction have been remarkably
rapid as regards both monopianes and
biplanes, but it is generally believed
thta there will be no great cl, 'ngeS il
the general appearance of the aero
plane in the near future.
The races Of the past year caused
constructors to turn their attention to
securing increased speed. This is evil
Genced by the number of SPECIFY ma
chilies in the exhibition. There is, how
ever. a strong tendency to build ma
chimes which afford a maximum Of
safety. 1t is also pointed out that
aeroplane purchasers are insisting up
on more comfort in the aeroplane. Mill
itary contracts now contain para
graph dealing with comfortable seats,
cases in which to carry tools and some
times even the installation of wire
less Geographic apparatus.
The general lesson of the salon is
that the aeroplane has definitely ar
rived as a military instrument. bus
that much is to be done before avia-
ton will be hailed as a popular sport.
