"AMERICAN CHILDREN.
WHEREIN THEIR EDUCATIONAL TRAIN
ING 13 DEFECTIVE.
The Subtle Distinction Iletween "Instrue
tlon" and "Education" Made by the Clev
er and Farseelng French The Meed of
American Youth.
A subtle distinction between "instruc
tion" and "education" Is admirably
drawn by that people most highly en
dowed with a strong analytical faculty,
the French, with the habit of keen scru
tiny, thorough Investigation and just de
duction usual with them. The difference)
existing between acquired knowledge on
the one hand and inculcated virtues on
the other has been embodied In these
separate appellations, which carry with
them two distinct meanings. Both may
be largely possessed apart from the oth
er. But when both are combined in one
individuality the highest degree of ex
cellence has been obtained of which the
human race is capable.
With us in America it is fair to state
that instruction from books, in school and
college, where the aim must of necessity
be only the development of the mind and
intellect, in conjunction with religious
teachings from the pulpit and at the
fireside, sums up the education generally
given to the yonth of the country, even
among the prosperous and the wealthy.
But between these two lines of educa
tion, both admirable and necessary,
stands a more subtle and intangible form
of mental and moral training which
embraces the development of the finer
chords of both the intellect and the
sentiments having for effect not only
to instill a desire for knowledge and
virtue and a reproval of vice, but to ed
ucate as to the desirability of that su
perior excellence which enables the pos
sessor to strive for the ideal graces and
beauties, which, when understood and
practiced, produce a perfect civiliza
tion. That religion alone cannot give this
result is shown by the fact that the ex
treme and beautiful polish to character
and the broad aesthetics it evolves have
been possessed by men and women who
have acknowledged no attachment to re
ligious creeds and again by members of
Christianity and paganism alike, while
the bookworm and the savant, whose
mind is the crowded receptacle of a mar
velous agglomeration of knowledge, may
be absolutely lacking in this particular
phase of culture.
It is this education, which does not ap
ply exclusively to the intellectuality nor
to the moral sense, but envelops the
whole being through a cultivation of the
receptive faculties and finer instincts,
which is denominated "education" by
the French, and which should be applied
with greater care in America to the
training of youth, for as a factor in en
lightenment and progress its value is
enormous. With the many splendid
qualifications given by nature to the
American citizen, and which the polit
ical institutions under which he lives
has fostered, his sturdy self dependence,
spirit of inquiry, his energy and natural
intelligence, if aided by a strong de
velopment in this direction, would pro
duce remarkable results both in the in
dividual and for the masses.
For it is evident that from a cultiva
tion of this phase of the human mind
springs the conception and execution of
all that pertains to the arts, fine and in
dustrial, they being the tangible ex
pressions of the aspirations and genius
of those from whom they have emanated.
Unless the trend of a people be toward
an ideal existence, stretching beyond the
absorption of effort merely to supply
the wants of man's physical life, neither
poet, sculptor nor painter nor the artis
tio and accomplished artisan will emerge
to adorn and testify to their civilization
and their superiority. Indeed expan
sion in this direction proves the condi
tion of national life with a sure and
true precision.
The time has come when an education
tending toward similar results should
ocoupy publio thought in this country,
heretofore too exclusively engrossed in
solving the problem of national exist
ence. It is just to say, however, that
there has been an advance, noticeable in
large centers, which has been brought
about by friction and competition and
the contact with pur nationalities, vary
ing opinions and antagonistic creeds.
But the general improvement has not
been in accord with the capabilities in
that direction of the American people,
nor proportionate with the increased
wealth, for outside of our large cities, in
the interior portions of the country, life
is still unjustifiably primitive, and
those living on plain and frontier, in
mountain and forest, are uncultured be
yond what their isolation would justify.
Again it is noticeable that the educa
tion of the children of those classes pos
sessed of ample means is in these Unit
ed States generally superficial. The
American early youth among the edu
cated classes, which are those exerting
the most influence on the destinies of a
people, is not subjected to that sober
discipline deemed necessary by the older
nations of Europe as being a protection
to them, against their own irrepletive
impulses, through mental habits thus en
forced, and as constituting a desirable
tutelage In preparation for the later se
vere struggles of life. The overindul
gence generally accorded the American ,
child and youth Is the cause of a general
disregard of authority and careless atti
tude toward obligations, a distinctive
feature of the American youth. On the
part of those in authority the effort
would seem to be to gloss over the un
sound basis of a scanty learning by some
fsw gaudy accomplishments, equally su
perficially possessed, New Orleans

Complications In Booth Florida.
A good story comes from the Manatee
river. A man named Westfleld had a
quarrel with his wife, and they decided
to separate, dividing their household
goods between them, Westfleld took his
portion of the goods to his boat, but aft
er thinking awhile over the matter de
cided that his wife had the best of the
bargain, which so enraged him that he
took an ax and went back to the house
and broke up her portion. The woman
swore out a warrant for him next day,
and Westfleld engaged a promising young
attorney of Braidentown to defend him.
After investigating the case the lawyer
decided that his client was in a bad box,
so he advised him to make up with his
wife and try to stop the prosecution.
This the man succeeded in doing, but
the county authorities refused to let the
matter be dropped. So the lawyer then
advised him to kidnap his wife and baby
and sail to Cinnabel island.
The matter was arranged for the next
night. The woman was escorted to the
boat, where her husband was awaiting
her, by the lawyer and a constable whom
he had engaged to assist him. The law
yer and constable then returned to the
house for the baby, but by mistake they
got another woman's baby, and the mis
take was not discovered until the boat
was well on its way to Cinnabel. The
man was afraid to return for tho right
baby, thinking that he would bo arrest
ed and prosecuted. This happened sev
eral days ago, and the woman whose
baby was stolen will not reconcile her
self to the exchange and proposes to
have the young lawyer prosecuted for
kidnaping. He is in a terrible state of
mind and swears that he will never
practice law again. Tampa (Fla.) Times.

Scores of poor fellers are waitin here
In Washington city for for offices. It is
really painful to meet some of 'em. One
poor freckled devil from Arkansaw told
me today that he had just pawned his
pistol for $3, the last thing he had that
was pawnable. He told me about four
of his friends from the south that was
boardin with a widow up on O street,
all of 'em good poker players, but in bad
luck. They hadn't l aid any board for
two weeks, and the old woman, thinkin
to get rid of 'em, got up at the table the
other mornin and said, "Gentlemen, the
times is very hard, and the price of mar
ketin is goln up, so I'll have to raise the
price of board to flOaweek." Nobody
said a word for nearly a minute, and
then one of the shoestring sports spoke
np and said, "Madam, we stand the
raise," The old lady is tryin to find out
how much better off she is than she was.

A Castle Goes Begging.
Hedingham castle, with its 8,000 acres
of land in the Colne valley, was offered
for sale at the mart. The most interest
ing feature of the property is the' mag
nificent Norman keep, an almost perfect
specimen. Queen Matilda, wife of King
Stephen, is reported to have died In the
castle, which was the stronghold of the
Earls of Oxford from the conquest, and
in the reign of King John it sustained
two sieges. Unfortunately not all the
historical associations combined could
call forth a single bid, and it had to be
withdrawn. London Telegraph.
A Singular Fatality.
A singular fatality seems to attach to
the chair of English literature in the
State university in this city. Professor
Milllken, the first incumbent, held it
four years acd died. He was succeeded
by Professor Short, who also lived just
four years. Professor A. H. Walsh, who
next took the chair, died exactly upon
the completion of his fourth year of serv
ice and was succeeded four years ago
by Professor Chalmers, who is now dying

HE WAS AT WORK.
But His Occupation Pld Not Knttrla II Ins
to Free Seats at the Theater.
He was what Steve Rowan would call
"a shlim bit av a tur-rkey," and he stood
near the box office of the Columbia, first
looking at his last half dollar clntchod
in a grimy palm and then shooting an
occasional glance at the main door,
through which the strains of the opening
overture could at times be heard.
His clothes were loud enough to serve
as a World s fair hotel fire alarm, and
the checks were too large to be honored
by anything smaller than a first national.
They were of the latest Kerry cut and
hadn't been long enough in this country
to kill tho smell of the bog. Ho wanted
to see the performance, and he hated to
part with his money, so he waited and
got into an argument with himself.
First he thought he would, and then he
guessed he wouldn't, and while he thus
hesitated a trim little woman tripped
across the foyer. She sailed along like
a clipper ship with a free wind and port
in sight. There was a distinctive air of
the "profesh." about her, and she carried
her nerve in the onteMf rvv;ket of an
Eton jacket. He watched her and lis
tened with astonishment when she opened
her face and addressed the man in the
box office.
"Hello, Harry 1"
"Howdy, Mag."
"Gimme two seats, will yer, Harry?"
"Are you working?"
"Sure. Me and Jess is doin a turn at
the Olymp."
The checks for seats were handed out,
and Mag calling Jess the two went in
side, while the "shlim bit uva tur-rkey"
moved a peg or two closer to the box of
fice. Another form appeared in the door
way. Its hair was parted in the middle,
and its buzzsaw hat reposed on the back
of its head. Its trousers were freshly
creased and sharp enough to pare corns.
It shuffled up to the box office much aft
er the manner of a crawfish in a not,
and the little Irishman could scarcely
Srevent himself from laying violent
and on it and mussing it up. In a low
tragedian voice it said:
"Ah, there, Harry.''
"Hollo, Falstaff, old boy."
"Favor me with two, old fellow?"
"Aro you working?"
"Well, I should say I am."
"Where?"
"Me'n Ed's doing a Henry Irving bur
lesque at ther Park."
Again two pasteboard checks were
handed out, and by this time the "tur
key" on the outside was becoming fran
tic. It was coming easy for everybody
but himself, and he resolved to hazard a
chance aud keep his half dollar. Ho took
it fresh bite of plug, gave his trousers an
extra hitch and approached the window
on tiptoe. He peered cautiously around
the odgo of the narrow opening. Harry
was still thoro, checking up the house.
Ho hesitated ouly for a moment, and then
he blurted out:
"Hilloo, Har-ry, ould bye,"
"How are you, sir?"
"Oi'm wur-r-kln."
"Are you, my friend?"
"Yis."
"Whore?"
"Shtock yar-rds."
And when the doorkeeper was through
with him and the patrol wagon had
gathered him in he sadly wondered at
the eternal unfitness of things and why
all men are not born equal. Chicago

The Causa of Waterspouts.
A waterspout is a meteorological phe
nomenon of peculiar character, which is
occasionally observed on land, but usu
ally occurs at sea, It consists of a cono
shaped pillar of condensed vapor, which
descends, with the apex downward, from
a dense cloud and at sea attracts a
somewhat similar cone in a reversed
position from the surface of the water.
The two may not inaptly be compared
to a gigantio hourglass. The cause of
this phenomenon is supposed to be tho
gyratory movement of the air with such
swiftness as to produce a vacuum in tho
axis of rotation, aud the contact of the
lower extremity of such an axis with
water would effect the elevation of a
column of the lutter to a considerable
height The most probable solution of
the phenomenon is that waterspouts
originate in adjacent strata of air of dif
ferent temperatures, running in oppo
site directions in the upper regions of the
atmosphere. They condense the vapor
and give it a whirling motion, so that it
descends tapering to the sea below and
causes the surface of the water to ascend
in a pointed spiral till it joins that from
above. Brooklyn Eagle.

the iron spikes exposed. He dismounted,
but in starting the machine he missed

spikes entering his left breast and pene
trating right through to the heart, came

I met a brisk little married woman at
the Long Island ferry house the other
day, and I said:
"Why, I thought you were in the

"So I am, dear, but I have to run into

husband's wardrobe."
"Wliafs the matter with it?"
"Why, it's steadily decreasing. I am

Calculating the Distance of a Storm,
Although lightning and thunder occur
always simultaneously, an intervnl of
shorter or longer duration is usually ob
served between these two phenomena,
which Is due to the fact that sound trav
els only at the rate of 1,100 feot per sec
ond, while the passage of light is almost
instantaneous. Based upon this fact, it
is an easy matter to tell, at least approx
imately, how many miles a thunder
storm is away. A normal pulse will
beat about one stroke to the second, aud
by counting the pulse beats during the
interval of the lightning and the thunder
the lapse of seconds is arrived at and
consequently the number of feet, whicli
can be reduced to miles.
For example: If 80 seconds elapse be
tween the flash of the lightning and the
crash of thunder, the storm center is at
a distance of 83,000 feet, or abont Of
miles. An almost accurate calculation
can bo made by using a watch with a
minute dial. St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Use Pure Water Freely.
Unhygienic habits report themselves
unmistakably in the skin both in color
and odor. To health and beauty it is
essential that one should use pure water
(rain water is best) frequently and free
ly and follow its use with brisk friction
all over the body with a piece of coarse
flannel, which is a wonderful aid to a
soft and glowing skin, as it stimulates
healthful circulation. Sun and air baths
are necessary to the proper nutritive
functions of the skin, and daily atten
tion to the promptings of nature is im
perative to save it from becoming a ve
hicle for offensive exhalation. Care will
do much to put off the evil day of wrin

They Make Auroras to Order.
Artificial miniature auroras of tho
borealis variety have been produced by
both De la Rive, the French savant, and
Lenstrom, the Swedish astronomer. Iu
Professor Lenstrom's experiments,
which were made in Finland, the peak of
a high mountain was surrounded with a
coil of wire, pointed at intervals with
tin nibs. The wire was then charged
with electricity, whereupon a brilliant
aurora appeared above the mountain, iu
