of the chiof difficulties or disadvan-
tages in our school system Is that thcro
are not, as a rulo, enough touchers to
do the work as it should bo douo.
That England intend* to go to

dicated by roccut utterances in tho

Tub science in our schools is too
often a malto-beliovo, and tho schools
will lose nothing when every make-
beliovo slips out of the curriculum.
The trouble is, the scienco that is now
taught is taught from books. Thcro
is no science that cun bo learned from
books. Book science is cunued scionco,
a thing that caunot bo assimilated by
tho mind.
Ii is told of an American millionaire
who bought a oastlo on tho Khino that
one cold day his daughter found him
wartnlnjf his hands at a lire which ho
had kindlod in u suit of plate armor.
••O papa, what havo you been doingP"
she cried. "Tho fellow that patontod
that stove," rep Hod tho lord of tho
castlo, "must havo boon crazy
I've made tho old thing heat up at

The olomont of insecurity is always
ro flee tod by tho high rate of interest.
A shrewd and successful capitalist re-
marks that he has always risked his
money when ho hns tried to earn moro
than six per ceut interest. No fann-
er can afford to pay ovor six percont
for money for long time lo ins. No
business man cm mako a profit if his
capitti costs him a higher rate year
after year.
Neko was by no moans the only
royal personage who was an alleged
musician. Queon Victoria plays tho
piano und organ, nnd away back in tho
dim and distant past had a cultivated
voice. Tho Princo of Wales dallies
with the' banjo, Tho Czar plays tho
French horn when thcro aro no Nihil-
ists or other bad tcmpurod people
around, and is likewiso a clover per-
former on tho piuno.
The way to suppress immoral pub-

11 SHE REFUSED HIM,
She drew up her horse at my gate.
"Mr. Landon!"
1 laid down my book nnd wont down
tho path to her. She «us always
beautiful in her riding-habit, and tho
opal rose tint of her check was a little
lovelier than usual, 1 thought that
morning.
"How do you do?" she said soberly.
"Arc you very btisyP"
"Not very," 1 answered, glancing
back at "Valentine Vox'' turned up-
side down on a piazza chair. "What
is wantedP Can I be of any scrvieo to
you?"
"Not to me. llut papa wished mo to
ask you if you could come up ami
direct Tom about trimming our noplar
trees. The row by the south wall, you
know. Ho knows nothing about it, and
spoiled them live yoars ago."
"Certainly. 1 will bo at the Three
Elms in an hour or two. Miss Vattle."
She gave me a daiutv military salute,
and galloped away. That, and all her
little tricks and ways were indescrib-
ably nretty.
lieIoro i came to IJayswater, my sage
lister had warned me how beautiful
Miss Vashti Seniors was. She bogged
me not to fall iu love with her, and 1
had promised not to, 1 believe. Hut
alter my house was built, and I had
settled at IJayswater for the sake of
holng near my manufactory I got in
the way of spending my evenings very
often at the place where she lived,
called tho Three Kims for the trio of
old trees that stood before the door.
Tho family consisted of Mr. Somers,
who was aged aud intirm; Vattio, as
she was called; two younger sisters of
1 — and 14, and their governess, Mrs.
Stowell. Mr. Somers had taken quite
a fancy to me, and entertained me with
tho garrulousucss of old ago; the
children were pretty pets, aud Mrs.
Stowell was a sensible lady. All this,
to say nothing of Miss Vashti's polite-
ness,made their sitting-room an attrac-
tlvo ^la.ee for a solitary old bachelor.
My sister, who was plalu.old-fashioued,
and practical, would have suffered un-
told anxieties had she known it. Being
one of the working bees of this world,
she could see no use or virtue in such
a pretty, dainty being as Vashti Honi-
ara. The bare suggestion of her bo-
coming mv wife would have shocked
her as a plan fraught with the most
disastrous consequences.
But i don't know that I really evei
thought of such a thing until the*morn-
ing that I wont up to superintend the
trimming of the poplars.
Vattio had returned from her rldo.
She had roplaeotl her habit by a wrap-
per of rose-colored cambric, and was
stance gave way aud I was plunged
into the cold flood beneath.

A few weeks ago a oiti/.en railed up.
on a well-known athlete and engaged
him to give lessons iu boxing, and
after about a month the teacher said to
his pupil:
"You are in good shape now, ami
von needn't be afraid to put up your

Two days later tho pupil returned
with a pair of black eyes and a nose
with the bark all olT, and tho instructor
exclaimed.
"Great Scott, man; but havo

"Yes."
"And got licked?"
"Yes."

"Licked! Licked! Why, jourabbit,

Hour aro at a higher

submit that the American miller will be
unable to retain any part of the Cuban
flour (rude unless Immediate relief is se-
ared." In view of these facts, is It pos.si-
de that a protectionist con^rcs* can even
think of opening our market to Cuba'a
products free while allowing a groat west-
ern interest to be absolutely excluded from
her market by a prohibitory tariff? Wit h
reciprocity the west can annually sell
many hundred thoiisantl barrels of flour in
the markets of Cuba and I'orto Itlco, with
0 large iuium of other agricultural products.
W it hunt- reciprocity she will be driven
more aud more from these markets.
(living the fullest protection to all east-
ern interests as the proposed tariff hill
does, surely no man or good judgment,
certainly uo protectionist of wise forecast,
wishes to expose a western interest to
serious injury, aud cspeeially when if. is
manifestly easy to protect it manifestly
easy liecause at this very time the boards
of trade, the chambers of commerce and
the public opinion in Havaua are demand- I
ing reciprocal trade with the foiled 1
States. I select Cuba and Porto ltico for
examples because in certain quarters it
has liceu said that while we might secure '
reciprocity with some little countries in I
South America, wo could do nothing i
with the Spanish islands. Let us at least I
give the Spanish islands an opportunity to
speak for themselves.
Certain wise men observe that they |
waul time to study the system. To this
1 might reply that the best method of
studying a system is to observe its prue- !
ticul workings while studying in the b i
struct. Itcfusinii to take some object v
sons those gentlemen propose to open ww
market to batiu American products fPe«* '
of any charge, without asking Latin 1
aiur America to give us in turn some freedom
iu their markets. I'lie object lesson im-
mediately before lis is the treatment of tho |
sugar question. Shall wo make Latin- 1
America a gift of that trade!" When we !
have studied that lesson, we shall bo pro-
pared for the second.
The lir«t. proposition of all Is put forward
by those who say: "Let us put sugar en
tho free list now and next year we will take
Up tho subject of reciprocity." If I under-
stand the logic, it is to make sugar free
this year without condition and next year
to ask Spain if she w ill not kindly consent
to grant us reciprocal trader Holding the
complete vantage ground ourselves the
proposed policy transfers the vantage
ground t. Spain. Instead of granting a
favor to Sp un today, we are to ask her for
for favor tomorro v. Those who take this
ground belong to that ( lass of careful
guardians of property who prepare a very
strong lock for the stable after the horse is
gone.
I do not mean, in anything I have said,
to imply that reciprocity is only a western
interest. As I remarked in a note to Sen-
ator Fryo, it will prove benollcial and
profitable both to the farm and the shop.
The many forms iu which our business in-
terests will he promoted by reciprocity can
not be known until the active commercial
men of tho Pnitetl Slates have developed
those forms hy investigation aud experi-
ence. We shall not realize the full benefit
of the policy iu a day or a year, but shall
we therefore throw nway countless count-
less millions of t ratio, in addition
to the sixty million we have al-
ready thrown away and then iguorantly
decluro without trial that the system won't
work?
Finally, thero Is the fact that should
have great, weight, especially with protee-
tionists, Kvery freest rader.in the senate voted
against tho reciprocity provision. The
free trade papers throughout tho country
im about ing determined hostility to It. I t
is evident that the free trade senators and
the free trade papers have a reason for
their course. They knowamlfeel that with
a system of reciprocity established and
growing, their policy of free trade receives
a most serious blow. The protectionist
who opposes reciprocity in the form in
which it is now presented knocks away
one of the strongest supports of this sys-
tem. The onactnieut of reciprocity is tlie
safeguard of protection; the defeat of re-
ciprocity is the opportunity of free trade.

PENNSYLVANIA'S DEMOCRATICCLUBs
i Riaiunq, Pa., Sept. 111. The annual ;
I meel ing of the Democratic societies of
Pennsylvania here today brought together
representatives of the parts froiii every
section of the state. Piiiladelphia was
rticularly well represented. Messrs.
f tho company, are to bo accomplished by
an elevated track system. It will cost a
vast amount of money to carry the ulan to
completion, but the engineers who have
studied tho question are so confident that
tho difficulties can be overcome that there
is scarcely a doubt but that early and defi-
nite action will be taken.
Statistics presented at a recent meeting
al- ' of the Society of American Engineers show
that the number of persons killed within
tho corporate limits of Chicago each
year by the railroads crossing streets aud
other railway lines at grade is between
four and five hundred per annum, and it
i. also stated that one of the chief railway
system* entering (Hiicago paid during t be
last year 1150,0 >0 for personal lujitries
caused at grade crossings. It is proposed
that the elevated tracks shall bo Carried
upon au iron or steel structure through
t ho more thickly populated part of tho
city, and brick or stone arches at points
where such structures can be used at bet-
ter advantage, as practiced iu Philadel-
phia. Jersey City, and London and other
Kuropeau cities. It is proposed to con-
-fuct the line wdth 100-nound steel nils,
so that the heaviest engines running at t he
highest rate of speed can enter this city at
from forty toliffey miles per hour if desired
without creating the slightest incon-
venience or interruption to the trallicor
business of other railroads of the city.
it is also proposed to construct iu con-
nection with this elevated railway aud
terminal system, enclosed freight yards at
grade and using hydraulic lifts for the
transfer of the freight oars from tho ele-
vated trucks to tho enclosed yards on tho
street level, thus preventing tho laying of
any more railroad tracks across or upon
streets at grade. Tho plan is to have eight
or ten elevated tracks running south froi i
the union'station lo a point where they
diverge, one line to the south aud
tho west, each of the divergent, lines curry- ! killing him. A general tight then fol

KrIE, Pa., Sent I-.'.—The little lumnor
j settlement of Lyndon iu the woods near

1 tiie robbery and almost, murder of Mrs.
Mary Batchehler, wife of Denjumiu Batch-
