Does education fit a man to get on , to make money , to run a store ? are popular questions about education. Now the utilities of education have their place. An education which does not fit a man or woman to live successfully in our "present industrial life fails al an important point. But in our zeal for education as a ntility we are losing sight of the value of education as a pleasure. Life has as much right to joy as it has to food and raiment. Ed- BEV. K. A. WHITE. UCatlOn OUgUI SO 10 UU and so conceived that it Is a joy giver. The introduction of the so-called fads Into elementary grades has been from a variety of motives. The utilitarian sees in them a means of fitting a man to use a saw or a woman to cook a good meal. Others see in them a subtle educational value , a means of self-expression. Manual training has made school work interesting. The child naturally wants to construct , to make things , to pro ject his ideas into form. However you approach the ques tion of fads , they are of greatest value in an educational system. Those who talk of a return to the three R's savor of medievalism. There is an odor of the middle ages about such assertions. The man or woman who attacks the so- called fads simply reveals his or her complete ignorance of the educational value of fads. MILLIONAIRES OWNED BY THEIR MILLIONS. By Andrew Carnegie. Men do not own millions. It is the millions that own the men. When you have education this is different. When you gain knowledge it doesn't possess you , but you possess it , and have a treasure. No matter whether you die worth millions or not , you have something that is denied the man who Is immersed In the accumulation of wealth. Stock gambling Is not a business ; it is a mere parasite on business. If I had a son I should prefer to have him enter upon a professional ca reer than any other. I have been looking largely into small colleges of late , and I have entered Into the college busi ness as I not long ago entered into the library business. I think a young man who goes to a small college receives a bettor education than at a large one. I like to see men not excelling In football or things pertaining to the foot , but excelling in head expansion. Sport is too generally taking the place of valuable knowledge at the big colleges. THE "ORDINARY" WORKMAN. By O. / / . Oycn. While it may be true that there is little or no chance for the ordinary machinist , or man of kindred trade , to work himself up through his vocation , it Is equally true that there is plenty of opportunity for the worker in these lines who is not ordinary for the "extra-ordinary" worker. The ordinary worker and the man who succeeds through his work are separate and distinct types. One. has but to enter the workshon of nnv concern where a hundred or more men are employed at the same kind of work. Even the most untrained observer , if he tries , can pick out the "extra-ordinary" men from the others. The ordinary workman is a cog In a machine. He does A DREAM CRUISE. My prayers I say and lay me down ; The lights of Starland gleam afar , My trundle bed is Sleepy Town , My window b the harbor bar. Beyond the curtained patch of blue There lies a fair and wondrous sea ; My dream ship feels the flowing tide , I hear my sailors calling me. A shallop skiins across the blue , And Jackies touch their hats , polite , "Come , get aboard , dear captain , do , The bells are sounding candle light. " The lullaby my mother croons Grows fainter and still fainter grows ; The hos'n pipes his merry tunes And dances on his timber toes. Heigh-ho ! a merry crew , I ween , For some are wood , and some are dough. Ami some before in books I've seen , And some are dolls I used to know. i Now. where away , oh , captain , where ? I'd sail me swift , I'd sail me far , The evening winds are blowing fair , We'll head her for the Morning Star. Toledo Times. OME in ! " My office door opened very gently , and a little face I knew well peeped round. In sheer aston ishment I dropped my pen. "Kathleen ! " I said. "How hi the world did you get down here ? You're not by yourself , surely ? " "Oh , no ; course , uursie's with me , " and the blue eyes smiled at me so sweetly ; "but she's gone shopping. I'm not to go till she comes for me. " "But what will mother and auntie say ? They'll think you're lost" "I'm too growed-up to get lost , " she said , with a dignified little air. I could not help smiling. "Now , you little rogue , " I said , "when I've helped you off with that pretty blue coat and hat I shall ex pect to be told why you've honored me with a visit to the city during business hours. " She settled herself sedately hi a chair opposite to me , quite unconscious of the pretty picture she made with her mass of fair hair and her sweet little face. "It's a most 'portant visit , " she said. "I've come to ask you to my party next We'n'sday. " "Indeed ? I shall be delighted to ccme. So that's what brought you down here , is It ? " I had heard great tale * about tfeia the work allotted to him with such degree of efficiency as to hold his position. This is all. He never progresses , never learns anything about the line he is in except his own little stunt , never tries for anything better than a place at his bench or lathe , never reaches out. Pie does what his employers consider a fair day's work , never more , and he does this only because he knows that just so soon as he fails to do it he will be out of a position. This is the "ordinary" worker , the man o the class included in the labor leader's sweeping stateJ it. The worker who amounts to something the extra-or dinary worker may not exert himself physically as much as does his companion who stays at his work until the end , but while lie works he keeps his eyes open and learns something besides his own job. This is the difference. He sees that it is not In the performance of the one job before him that success is to be won , but in the things that he masters from the vantage point of the good workman. If he is a machinist he learns his machine and the things he makes. He sees them go through his hands day after day and If there is any possibility of improvement he is sure to find it out. Then , if he is of the right kind he begins to stu < ly ways and means to make the needed Improvement. Employers begin to reckon seriously with the men under them as soon as they see they have Ideas of their own that are worth something. DIVORCE INCREASE IS WELCOME. By Rer. Mlnot J. Savage. persons are frightened and think this one of the deplorable fruits of the wider freedom granted to women. I believe that on the whole most of the divorces of the present time are altogether to be welcomed. They are almost always in the interest of oppressed women , giving them another opportunity for a free , sweet , wholesome life. There are cases where the divorce laws are abused , but they are not nearly so mnny as frightened ministers hi many of our ohurchesseem to imagine. These cases are exploited in the papers until folk imagine society is ex tremely corrupt. A SQUARE DEAL IN FOOD PRODUCTS. DR. H. w. wii.Er. sons that In food products "deception is the life of trade.

"Shall I be expected to do anything in particular ? " I asked. "You'll have to make believe all the time , like you always do at our house. " This was certainly a candid state ment. I wondered if the rest of the family shared the same view. I hoped not , because I was , as a rule , particu larly serious after Kathleen had gone to bed. "Aunt Merva will be there , of course , " I ventured to suggest. " 'Course she will , " replied Kath leen. leen.Then Then she made a tour of the room , came back and resumed her seat , and "THEY'LL THINK YOU'BE LOST. " asked me seriously : "Is this where you play all by yourself in the day time ? ' "Well , yes , I suppose I do. " "Do you keep your toys In those big tin boxes ? " "Well , they're not toys like tnose in your nursery. " "Do you sit here all by yourself , then ? " 1 nodded. "And never feel lonely ? " "Sometimes , " I said , smiling in spite of myself at the serious little face. " 1 heard mummie tell daddy one day you were a lonely man. " "Oh ! " I was certainly hearing some home truths. , "But you won't be lonely when you come to my party , will you ? " "No , dear. I like to COIUG as often as I can to your house , " and I spoke the truth. By this time Kathleen's nurse had returned I expect she had been wait ing outside all the time and with strict Injunctions "not to forget the party next Wednesday. " my little vis itor kissed me good-by , and I tried t * settlft down to work again. Law does not make marriages. The church does not make marriages. Men and women , if they ever are married , marry themselves. All the law can do Is to recognize and try to conse crate a fact which already exists. If there is no marriage , then it Is desecration to keep up the sham. sham.One One of the distinguished characteristics of modern times is the growth of divorce. Many By Dr. H. IY. rriiey. This Is the era of the "square deal , " nml it ought to include a square deal in food products. There is considerable misunderstanding of the purpose of the Agricultural Department in seeking food legislation. It Is not to restrict trade , but to help it. The primary purpose is to have all foodstuffs sold under truthful labels and to be what they are represented to be. The same thing ohould be true of other products. It has been maintained by some per- But a pair of blue eyes would keep dancing in front of me on my blotting pad. Sometimes I thought they were Kathleen's and sometimes I thought they were some one else's , ivatn- leen'g eyes and her Aunt Merva's were strangely alike. I had noticed it be fore. fore.The The room seemed quite cheerless now that she had gone. In the intervening days the postmaa. left strange notes for me. Sometimes the missives were stuck together with jujubes , but I had no aitncuity in deciphering tne signs. They read : "Don't forget the party next We'n'sday. " As to the crosses I well , the most Ignorant person knows what those mean in a letter. "We'n'sday" came at last , and , of course , I went to the party. It was a great success. The house was turned upside down by a merry crowd of little folks who kept the fun going until long after they ought to have been in bed. Kathleen quec-ned it all very pret tily , and after the last little guest had departed and the blue eyes could scarcely keep open , she persisted that she wasn't a bit tired , "on'y hungry. " That was a subterfuge she was al ways guilty of at bedtime. Next day I saw Kathleen in the park and we discussed the party. "You were a funny man , " she said. I was glad to know that I had given satisfaction In this direction. "Did you learn all those stories from pltsher books , or were they just make believe ? " "Both , " I said. "And you didn't cry when you hau to go hom& like little Charlie did , did you ? " I assured her I was able to refrain from weeping. "And you liked me the best of all the little girls there ? " "Of cpurse I did. " "Quite sure ? " she said , coaxingly. "Quite sure , " I repeated. "Then muinmie was wrong , " she said , triumphantly. "How's that ? " I asked. "Well , when mumniie and Aunt Mer va came In to say 'Good-night , ' I heard auntie say how fond you were of me , and mummie said , 'lies , and I know some one else he's very fond of. too. or would be , if she'd let him , ' and I auntie went quite funny , and said : j 'Don't be ridiklns , Daisy' Daisy's i what daddie calls mummie but mum- j mie only laughed and said : 'I don't think you're always kind to him. " Kathleen stopped to take breath after this long recital , and then went on : "So after muinmie went doina- stairs , and auntie brought me a sweetie 'fore I fell 'sleep , I asked If It wa trut if she liked aornt little flrl r .bett&r'n me. Auntie said 'Noand then I asked her if she wasn't al\ways \ kind to you. Auntie said , 'Per hap * not , sometimes. ' Then I said she ought to love you like I did , 'cos you wen lonely and had no nice little gin of your own like my daddy had.

" \ There was a serious look In Kattfj- leen's blue eyes. f "What made Auntie Merva cry , do you th'nk ? " she asked , quite dis tressed. "I think I cau guess , " I said , and with a full heart I kissed the little up turned face. Kathleen had told m& something I wanted to know something that I have been grateful to her for telling me all my life. Baltimore Evening Herald. ONIONS CURE FOR RABIES. Victim Bit Into the Tearful Bulb and Slowly Kecovered. A resident and business man of New York told me yesterday : "In one of our growing Western towns which I occasionally visit I knew a young man who was engaged to mar ry a beautiful girl. He was suddenly seized with an insane desire to injure her. She called for her father and brother , and the latter ran for the family physician , who , upon his ar rival , ordered a glass of water to be brought. At sight of it the young man frothed at the mouth , exhibiting all the symptoms of rabies. He was taken to the attic and fastened with a chain around his body to a ring In thefloor. . "One day , after many weary weeks of wjitchiirjr. a favorable change was noticed. 'How do you feel ? ' asked the doctor. 'Oh , I'm much better , ' was the reply , 'but you didn't cure me , doctor. It was that pile of onions in the corner. See ! Every time I felt a cTJizy desire to bite anybody I would bury my teeth in one of the onions , and they have gradually drawn out the poison. I am entirely wellUpon examination an onion was found which had turned green with the poison , perhaps the first one bitten. The physician frankly ac knowledged that the onion had saved the patient's life. " A vetorju of the uncivil war says : "A soldier was stricken with small pox , and , ' unknown to the physicians , a bunch of onions was hanging in his tent. We expected him to die , but he suddenly got better , and in a short time was entirely recovered. A few days after he got out the onions were taken down and they were found to be mushy , which tlie doctor said was caused by their drawing the smallpox out of the patient. As they were in oculated with the disease , they were destroyed. " New York Press. A GRUESOME MEMENTO. Volume of Autographs Which Relate to a Dreadful Crime. Among the collections of a manifold character , including a volume of au tographs the genuineness of which Iz beyond all doubt , and many other curios , all in a more or less degree connected with American history , in possession of a well known resident of this city who for more than fifty years kas been engaged in gathering such things , the most gruesome of the lot is a series of memorials ( if to al low them such a title can be proper ) connected with one of the trio of great crimes that bereft the American peo ple of the nation's chief magistrate , says the Washington Star. This particular one concerns the trial , conviction and execution of Guiteau , the assassin whose awful crime resulted in the death of Presi dent Garneld. Not only does this gloomy memento include the auto graphs and portraits of each member of the jury with ono exception , it also contains the autographs of the judge who presided in the case , those of the lawyers who participated in the event ami their photographs ; also the sign manual of Guiteau himself and the Jack Ketch who pulled the cord that launched the wretch into eternity. This is not all , however , that Is shown in this chapter of the dreadful tragedy. The details are augmented in their completeness by a lock of the murderer's hair , by a part cf the black cap that covered his face when he was hanged and a piece of the rope that was fastened around his neck when , so far as earthly expiation went , he suffered for his crime.
