Learning. to Live,

You can't learn to live. All you can
do is to keep on learning to live. That
Is because at each particular age we
must live in different way on account
Of the new conditions in which we find

proves that 1t has learned to live with

year IN the school of life 1t will have
to change its diet many times.
Never at any time would It be prop.

that you have learned how to live.

Arc These Studies Useless3

You, reader. who have been through
the public school mill, ask yourself
some questions. What good to you
of what ultimate utility-are such
things as apothecary's weight. alliga-
ton. aliquot parts. cube root, dram.
the long method of the greatest COM
mon divisor, least common multiple.
troy weight, unreal fractions, the ap-
positive. the objective complement, the
objective used as n substantive, con-
junctive adverbs, the nominativc alb
s0lutc. geometric theorcms, the gerund,
ETC.? What do you know about them
today? Yet think of the hours and
days and weeks that you pored over
them when you were in the public
schools! II they have brought you no
ultimate utility. then they will bring
your children no ultimate utility. and
1t they lack ultimate utility there can
be no question that the time spent in

An Unconscious Linquist.

Men have travelled safely, If not al
ways placidly, throughout Europe with
no other language than English at
their command, but few have been so
lucky as correspondent of New
York paper whose English was actual
" taken for French by the French
themselves.
While he spoke no language other
than English, this gentleman had nev-
er had any trouble in travelling in Eu-
rope. In the only instance when he
greatly longed to be able to speak an
other language he was helped out of
q predicament in most unexpected
way. At a railway station In Paris
he could not make the porters under
stand that he wanted his baggage
Finally he exclaimed:
"Oh, b'gosh!''
One Of the porters replied, "Oui, ban
gazh, oui, Out, bah-gazh," and he soon
produced the Americans trunk. Tia;
was the first time he knew that the
French have the word baggage and
learned how they pronounce it.
