mi BIAS, the only son Of an
~ old soldier, had reached the
! ~ age of seventeen when his
uncle, the village priest, Who had
taught him a little Latin, Greek and
logic, sent him off with 40 ducats and
bad mule to study divinity at Sala-
manca.
His adventures began Immediately.
At his first stop he was cheated out
of his mule; as he was eating his din.
ner a willy fatterer invited himself to
be his guest and showed his gratitude
by the good advice never to be taken
in by praise. He had to pay an exor-
bitant reckoning and went on his way,
'giving to as many devils as there are
saints in the calendar, the parasite,
the landlord and the inn"
He soon fell into the hands Of BAN
dts, who made him join them on their
raids. In one of them they captured
Dona Mencia, wife of the Marques de
la Guardia, and brought her to their
cavern. Gil Bias pretended to be III
and escaped with the grateful lady.
He was arrested as one Of the ban
dts and as he was wearing clothes
recognized by one of their victims, and
his pockets were full Of money, he
was thrown into jail. After several
weeks Imprisonment his innocence
was established, but the jailer had
i rohhed him of everything
AT Burgos he sought out Dona Men
cha who presented him with hun
bred ducats and costly ring.
He bought a pretentiOus outfit for
twice its value and decided that In
stead Of becoming a licentiate, che
would make his way in this world
rather, than think Of the next" A
second gift of a thousand ducats from
Dona Mencia confirmed him to his re-
solve.
He bought two mules and hiring a
servant, set forth for Madrid. His
servant conspired with several rogues
to make a fool of him. One of them,
Camilla, pretended to be, related to
Dona Mencia, invited him to hired
lodgings as if to her own home, and
there he was Toasted and fiattered. As
a mark of special favor she exchanged
her ruby ring, which she declared was
worth 300 pistoles, for his; and pro
cured him an invitation to a great
country seat for hunting and fishing
But when he arose in the morning
his servant, his two mules, his port
manteau and DOna Mencia's pre-
tended relatives had vanished. The
ruby ring was cheat.
Fortunately he fell in with a boy
hood friend, Fabrlcio, at Valladolid
and by his advice became a servant
to a clergyman, the canon Sedillo, al
whose house he led an easy life. The
canon soon died, leaving him his
worthless library, and the good for
tune Of becoming assistant to his physi
clan, the famous Doctor Sangrado. On
der him Gil Bias became particular!
proficient in his method of practice
which consisted of nothing but blood

declared that he made as many wild

of a giant Biscayan, who threatened
him with dire vengeance, and he FLED

COST OF SCHOOL FAILURES.

A school, official in a city of 500
600 population reports that puri' $
who fail in their grades cost the city
more than s1,OOe,o0O year. That
is the cost, he explains, OF giving
them the same work over again the
next year.
What is true Tor that city is prob
ably. true for others. Take a given
population and allow s1.25 Or $50
for each man. woman and child, and
you will have somewhere near the
annual cost of school failures
That however is only the first
cost, and the least. The city has
lost the price of :, years instruction
Of the pupils WHO did not paas--a
years salaries for til,ir teachers and
4 years interest and depreciation Oh
the plant" and its equipment: Eut
if you carry thcs" children on Il few
years, you find that the city has ;:ls"
lost a years work, a years services
in the community life. from as many
as have been delayed in leaving school
and entering productive pursuits.
And what Of the children them
selves? There are times. no doubt.
when a child benefits by being held
back for year behind the regular
schedule Of promotion. But such
times are exceptional. As Il rui", it
is probably time that The regular
schedule is unnecessarily slow. that
an average child ought to st through
it in less time. Therefore. as j rule,
the child who has tagged a year ii

Of his life He has lived the lost
year. tu be sure: bat that year would
mean much rocrc to him in maturity.

clearly, a common defect Of modern
education. which grows worse as
school work and college work be
come more stereotypcd. The student
learns less and less from observation
from experience. from life itself, ana
more and more from books. Too OF
ten he gets into state OF mind
where he can hardly learn anything
any moro except from print.
Unless he gets out of that state of
mind, he will make no more real
progress and be of little practical
use to himself Or anybody cisc.
Books are only helpers. The best
education is what the pupil or stu
dent gets for himself, from the in
telligent use of his own senses.

Disarmament Pays Germany.

S Lloyd George, in laying the allied
sultimatum before parliament, eX-
planned that while disarmament had
not proceeded as it should in Ger
many, still the Germans had accom-
p!ished a good deal along that line.
AT about the same time. Charles
Schwab, after trip TO Europe, re-
ported the Germans as rccupcratinS
faster: industrial!y than any other n2-
ton, including. the United States.
Here is. something to think about.
Primarily. disarming Germany was
to remove her poison fans. Second
arsly it was to reduce her Internal
expenses so she could pay more
money to the allies. While she has
not get paid any satisfactory amount
OF war damages, apparently shc is
al4eady demonstrating that the eco
snomie. principle Of disarmament is
sound. She is still maintaining larg-
er. forces than she is entitled to. but
IN comparison to pre-wa.r days he.
military burden is much lighter.
simultaneously her industrial wei
fare increases.
Strangely enough. Germany. which
ny being t,isarmed, v-as to portray
TO the world for all time the awful
fate of militarism, offers instead the
first practical demonstration Of dis
armament as factor in national
prosperity.

FLYING ABOVE THE CLOUDS
Possible to Experience Every Degree
of Fog and Sunshine Within
Few Minutes.

The full majesty of the aerial per-
spective can only be realized when
one Is above the clouds and the earth
is shut off from view. In flying on an
overcast day. when heavy banks of
cumulous clouds lie at 5000 feet, 1t Is
possible to experience within minute
or two every degree Of fog and sun
shine. When one is passing into the
clouds. the lower surfaces of which
are almost perfectly fiat, there Is an
instantaneous transition from shadow
to complete atmospheric opacity,
similar in appearance to a dense fog
at the ground. but differing somewhat
from it in feeling, for the interior
of a cloud seems to be drier, the air
less saturated with water vapor, than
the fogs which are met with at sea
or ashore If the climb is continued
a few hundred feet farther. the air
plane passes again into clear air, but
into air now of n clarity and bright
ness worthy of Mediterranean skies
and not at all to be compared with
the sky at sea leyel.-Ohio State Jour
