The phrase, "high seas," includes the entire open sea, the highway of all nations. Education is the true liberator. As the brain of man expnnds his shackles full. Ignorance has more power to hold the spirit of man in bondage than prison walls and links of steel. Know ledge sets us five. It emancipates us from the grovelling terroi-s of supersti tion. It banishes the ghosts and golv lins from the dark caves of Intellectual night. It lifts tho mind abovo the aottishness of beastly sensuality, and teaches self-respect.

Wo hear a groat dent nowadays about the management of husbands, and the matter Is discussed as If.llke enilmlinlng the dead, it was one of the lost arts, writes Edward W. Bok in "At Homo With the Editor" in tho August LnrfW Home Jimrnnl. But I notice that the women who are agitating the question are not the gentlewomen of this country. No, my positive friend, you who will rise at this and say that these other women are under the subject of their husband and nre afraid to sjicak. This Is not so. These women have found a warm and tender plaice In tho heart of their mankind. They have found the secret of "managing a husband," and you have not. Prate all you like, agitate all you wish at cluhmcctlng and nt women's gathering, but the secret will not thus be found. The place to learn how to manage a husband Is not at the meeting of your club, but In your home, at the side of your husband and with your children. "That's the old-fashioned Idea," said a punitive woman contemptuously to me the other day.

Centre ville (Pa.) News. Why the tllrda War Loit. A pigeon flying experiment at Tours has ended in a most remarkable man ner, proving the shocking fact that the useful birds, in addition to being ex cessively greedy, are also given to an overindulgence in strong drinks. Four hundred and twenty-nine pigeons were conveyed by train from Tours to La Bohalle and there let loose. To the as tonishment of the various societies in terested in the experiment, only forty returned home, and these were in dazed condition, and quite incapable of finding their respective quarters. , An inquiry resulted in the discovery that at a roadside station large con signment of black currants had been put into the same van as the birds. The inebriating qualities of the currant juice proved too much for the little trav elers, and they were quickly in inch condition that only a small proportion were sober enough to find their way back to Tours.

The birds sat upon the egg until within two days of the time for it to hatch, when they deserted it. The boy placed it under another pigeon which was already sitting on two eggs, and Sunday a little brown chick burst its shell. The foster parent fed the little stran ger pigeon fashion.which method seemed to puzzle the chicken, making it amus ing to watch them. The newcomer's language appears to be a mystery to the pigeons, but tbey treat the little fellow well. Provldenee Journal. A Good In a Kama.

London Globe. An Improved King. One of the annoyances in playing checkers is the occasional slipping off of the top checker whenever a piece is made a king. To avoid this a New York man has devised an extensible checker, consisting of a body and a shell sur rounding it, and as soon as a piece be comes a king the extensible portion ts easily thrust upward and remains in its place.

Rome (Ga.) Tribune, Nearly Two Thousand Loit Umbrellas. Fresh evidence of the straying pro pensities of the umbrella is furnished by the recent annual sale of unclaimed goods at a London depot of the Great Eastern Railway company.
