Educational Criticism

deputation waited on the prcsi-
dent of the British board of educa-
ton some time ago to insist upon
this point THAT the present system
of education tended to fit the child
more for the life of clerk, and to
unfit him for rural and agricultural
life And it might have been added
that not only does it fit him for the
life of clerk. but 1t units him for
getting beyond that. 1t has put him
through system that has kept back
all tendency to develop any initiative
of his own.-Montreal Herald.

We looked upon some grapefruit
yesterday that was beautiful to be-
hold. 1t was heavy and firm, the
texture satiny, not a blemish to be
seen, and the color golden yellow.
Four growers sat about disconso-
late viewing the scene.
That fruit will not be ready to
ship until January or February, be-
cause the State and Federal govern
mentS have imposed an acid test of
seven to one upon it. That fruit only
tests five one. 1t may pass the in
inspector in January or February,
and bring half what it would fetch
today. 1t sold on the early market
in other years at 60 cents to $10o
advance over the market Today it
is hanging on the trees while former
buyers are begging for it,
Then we looked upon some grape
fruit that was tick of bark, odd
shaped, measly culls,grecn as
grass.
"And here is some choice Florida
grapefruit that can be shipped,
they said, because it tests seven to
one and BETTER
But they said it sarcastically.
What are we to do?
We are not alone in our misery.
On Illinois they have a law against
picking green apples The farmers
left them on the trees to ripen and
then they were not fit to ship or even
to store in the cellar for winter use.
They took them to the cider mills.
The pure food and drug act said
You can only use SO much preser-
yative per barrel to keep the cider
from working" In two weeks the
cider was hard.
Then the revenue law stepped in
and: If your cider hardens we will
arrest you for manufacturing alcoho-
lie liquors.
So the farmers fed the apples TO
the hogs and damned some of our
foolish laws.
W. l.. Preston, manager of the
Manatee Fruit Co., believes like
many in this section, that the test
for : rapefruit is altogether 90 high.
He says:
We are large growers, shipping
over $1,000 boxes of grapefruit last
year, and we feel that, if the present
standard of maturity is held in force
greater portion of the grapefruit
crop will have to be left on the trees
until after the first of January.
should We get cold in December
as we are liable to, what a great loss
to the growers and the State this
would mean! We don't believe in
shipping green fruit, but we do be-
lieye that when grapefruit is fully
colored on the tree that it is fit to
eat and full of juice and, according

Anna Karenina and Sophie Bauer

in front of the Bauerschmidt saloon.
They were talking about Miss Lucy.
My sister," said Sophie, "seen Miss
Lucy and she says she's SWELL"
Sophie's sister, creature of a very
big pompadour that hung coquettishly
into one eye, worked at the beauty
counter of department store and was
therefore the social oracle of the Bau-
erschmidt circle.
There was an element of gloom in

Lord Salisbury's attitude toward his

He rushed out said the ambassa'

London, Feb. 26.--The German sub

scheme Lord Charles Beresford will

News comes from Amsterdam that
the Dutch government has seized the
merchant ship Hanna following dis
covery Of 5000 pounds of copper hid
den in her hold, which, It was charged,
was to be smuggled into Germany.

The Clan MacNaughton carried 20
