WORDS TOO OFTEN CONFUSED
Difference Between Training"
and Education"

The difference between training and
education was well expressed by DR..
C. Stuart eager in his address to the
graduating class of the school of hor-
tlculture for women, when he said:
"Cloth would be spun on hand looms
today had no other factor been intro
duced into spinning than the instruc-
ton Of daughters by mothers. This
kind Of instruction does not make for
progress: 1t can never convert trade
into profession. The spinning jenny
was not invented by spinner. nor the
wireless telegraph by telegraph
operator, nor the science of agronomy
by practical farmers.
Progress depends upon a fullness
of preparation exceeding the limits of
anticipated requirement in practice.
That is why have never liked the
phrase teachers training class.
Horses may be trained, and we'll
trained horse may be depended on to
do accurately and promptly the tricks
that are taught him. But place him in
new situation or confront him with
new problem or an old one some
what altered-and you may then learn
clearly and easily the difference be-
tween training and education" Mont

Life Without Microbes.

Microbes are not Indispensable to
al! life if they are Indispensable to
any. The question has been definite
ly settled, 1t Is claimed by some au-
thorities.
A cage completely sterilized at 90
degrees was made and the openings of
the cage closely stopped with cotton
and protected from the outside by a
Theoretically closed metallic chamber.
Such manipulations as were necessary
in OPENING the cage were made by
hands guarded by aseptic rubber cloth.
Into such sterilized cage three hens
eggs were placed after having been
externally sterilized. The cage was
fitted with glass pavilion or chicken
run, where the chickens could develop
during their six weeks sojourn In the
cage. In the cage were sterilized air,
pure water, sterillzed sand and steri-
lized feed.
The experiments showed that l'Ce
does not depend upon microbes. but
that the vital work Of the orga aism
is easy and natural when everything
is sterilized.

sTEPPlNe-sToNE TO SUCCESS
Why Imagination Mixed With knowI.
edge Is of Such Value to
Human Progress.

Imagination Is the fount from which
springs all progress.
Before great structure can be
erected It must first take form in some
ones imagination.
Without Imagination we would not
be sailing In steamships, travelling in
trains, riding in automobiles or flying
In airplanes.
without Imagination we would have
20 electric lights, no monographs, no
moving pictures or other inventions
identified with Edison, the worlds
master mind in the realm of both i'm
egination and invention.
Imagination comes usually from
mastery of some subject. The appli.
cation of painstaking study to ones
complete knowledge of subject sets
the imaginative forces of the mind into
activity and, 10, what appears to be a
brand new idea Is evolved-although
this idea, when Analysed, Is but the
product, the Encouragement, the appli-
cation Of knowledge already possessed.
To cultivate imagination, acquire
more and more knowledge Of your
work.
And you cannot give form and sub
stance to something of which you
know nothing
To acquire imagination, first acquire
knowledge, then mix your knowledge
with diligent thought; exercise all the
foresight you can command and YOU
then stand a good chance OF develop
Ing that species Of imagination which
is essential to all pre-eminent success.

The term ''bluestocking," into which
the wag and the hypercritic have
crowded more than little reproach to
woman, came about in a simple way.
In Bath of the eighteenth century a

invitation, his hostess cried, "Why,
come in your blue stockingsp' Mrs.
Thrale of the famous Bath coteries,
was very charming "blue-stocking :"
she was witty, gifted, skillful hostess.
She was admired and praised by DR..

Buy Your Coal Direct .
From ne-Big Saving

The high cost Of coal Is a thing of
the pastl At least. there are no COM
plants on this account-since the re-
moval Of government restrictions
among those who have learned how to
buy coal. The way to buy coal Is to
get It direct from the mines. This
saves several middlemen's profits. It
saves hauling expenses. Anyone can
now buy at mine prices. whether q car
load buyer or one who uses only ten
or fifteen tons q year. This has
been made possible through. q plan
evolved by large and old-estab-
lished concern, THE BERNICE COAL
COMPANY, with main oflces at
Como Building, Chicago.
This company has thousands Of cus-
toners In various sections of the
United states who receive all OF their
coal direct from the mines. These GUS
toners are pleased not only because
Of the many dollars they save every
year. but also because of the quality
Of coal they are getting. Many write
that they never before had coal that
makes 30 little dust. that burns so
well. leaving so few ashes If you are
q coal user-whether you use hard or
soft coal. much or 1ittle--it will be
greatly to your advantage to write the
Bernice Coal Co. OF once for prices,
stating kind and quantity Of coal you
use.

! Over 60 per cent OF the patients
in the state hospitals of Illinois
or of any other state. for that mat
ter-are cases of dementia praecox.
The salient feature of this type of
mental disorder Is a loss OF interest
In the things that serve as spurs to
normal activIty-desire to get on
IN the world. love of home and fam
lily, outside social interests. ETC..
Fantastic ideas and bizarre activities
take the place o. these sane inter-
ests and the affected individual
ceases to make the adjustments nee
essary to retain his place as mem
Der of the family and of society at
large. He gets out of step with the
mass of his fellows; depends more
and more upon his own delusional
resources; contents himself with
poorer and poorer ways of doing
things; and in the end, If allowed to
20 his own gait. suffers a more or less
profound deterioration.
4 Accompanying this mental degradae
Ton there Is no corresponding physi-
cal decay. and. as q result, the prae-
cox patient who enters an institution
at twenty may very well continue to
exist there until he is seventy. Al
least 20 per cent of all commitments
belong to this group, and, since so few
die and so few recover POSSIBLY 10
per cent? balance between the in
ic mn ctp
I'll at least half of the entire hospital
population consists Of this type.
This sad statement. says the Mod
ern Hospital, Is an admission of the
fact that dementia praecox still re-
mains very much In the realm of the
unknown. Since its cause has not
yet been discovered, 1t can be treated
only by those methods which have en-
pirically proved to be successful.

Australian "sundswner' q Carefres
Wanderer Along the Dusty River
Roads Of Australia.

And there. lone pathetic figure on
the river road of the Australian bush.
Is the swagman. the sundowner-thus
picturesquely named because Of his
habit of arriving at homestead ex-
actly as the sun goes down, and so In
surfing that he will be offered rations
and place to camp should he desire
it. There he stumbles In the crossing
wheel tracks. Australians tramp and
wanderer, with an individuality of his
own which marks him out from all the
wayfarers of the world.
The gray dust of the plains is on
his bronzed and bearded face. on his
simple dress of Crimean shirt and
moleskin trousers. on his rough un-
blackened boots, on his blanket bundle
strapped across his shoulders, on his
swinging billy can and dangling ration
bags. He carries no staff or stick, but
instead a light switch. broken from a
wilga tree or buddah bush. with which
to brush away the myriad persistent
flies which follow him In dancing
cloud
At his heels is n dog which may be
the veriest mongrel, or may be a
champion sheep dog of purest pedigree
and worth anything up to $3.50. His
days march may be two miles or TWEEN
ty, according to the goal which he has
set himself to reach as the sun goes
down. Sometimes he will camp for a
day or week or month In bend
of the river. Time is of no account
to the sundowner on the river road.

How copper Protects Steel.

In paper recently read by d. nj.
Buck before the American Society for
Testing Materials, 1t was brought out
that very small amounts Of copper have
the effect of reducing corrosion In
steel. Tests were made of open-heartb
steel with various copper additions, so
that there was from 0O12 to 0.254 per
cent Of copper In the ingots. These
were rolled into sheets and exposed to
the atmosphere in the Connellsville
coke region, together with q number Of
pieces in which there was no copper.
II was found that mere trace of cop
per was sufficient to prevent rapid cor
rOsion.

FAIR SEAL WAS A, W. 0. |.
Trained Pet Finally Found Beneath
Tank Wagon.

Tank Wagon.
There was some excitement around
the workman carnival at the fair,
Wednesday afternoon when Bubbles"
the wonderful trained seal at the
water show. took French leave of his
cage and went on an exploring tour
all his own. The seal Is the only one
alive that works under water with a
trainer. He is the property of Mabel
Swan, an eighteen-year-old girl, who
caught him when he was a baby and
trained him while he grew.
Bubbles got tired of his den and
the stage in front of the water show.
He wanted variety. So he just hob
bled away. How long he was gone no
one knew. But when he was missed
there was an army on hand to search
for him. After ranging over the
carnival grounds and looking in every
possible place where the searchers
thought he would go, one Of them
heard his bark coming from beneath
the tank wagon in which Miss Swan
performs.
She called to the seal and he read
lily answered the call. Miss Swan
says that Bubbles" has a peculiar
way to make his wants known and
that his action yesterday indicates
that he chafes under confinement.
Hereafter he will be allowed an hour
of freedom to range where he pleases
around the show grounds.
