Tho Investigating Committee, that whs created just before tho adjournment of tho Legislature in 180.", to investigate tho illegal liquor business in Pennsyl vania, will rept.rt to tho present session 35,000 "sppnlf-ensles" in tho Statu whore liquor Is sold illegally and no licensn paid. There are 24,000 licensed places in tho State. Every man ought to pny his debts If ho can. Every man ought to help his neighbor If he can. Every man and woman ought to got married If they can.

Thore are people existing on this mundane sphere whose Bole deslrn and pleasure in life Booms to bo to make everybody misera ble around them. This class of peoplo have tho assurance of that class of In dividuals who rush in "whore angels (oar to tread." They are not exactly gfOBsipors and yet they are. The gos sip ventilates all your real and fancied lll-doligs, whllo the individuals wo wish to describe clothe tholr sayings in faotitiousnosn and comment on your frivolous sayings; magnify and sobor your flippant ronmrks, and gloat over tho result. Tlicy uro a stench in tho nostrils of humanity. There aro a number of boys and young- men in Koynoldsvlllo who spend their evenings In loafing and other , useless ways. Tho boy who spends his evenings at home reading tho news paper, the local news of tho town and the county and the goneral news of the day, or in reading some useful book, will certainly make a better iftan, everything else being equal, than the boy who spends his ovenlnga on the streets and loafing at places where the town gossip Is dished out in the most vulgar manner. Tho tastes of boys may and should be so directed and culti vated as to lead them by choico to en gage tholr evenings In this profitable way and fewer criminals and drinkers would be the natural result. The Star has advocated that big hats either be left at home or taken off when attending publio entertainments. We clip the following from a recent Issue of the Pittsburg Timet: "The crusade against the big hat has reaohed Pith burg, and It Is said that it will be the subject of legislation by Councils. It Is a subject that ban attracted a great deal of attention and provoked no end of dlsousslon. Women seem to think that they are entitled to wear hats of suoh size and shape at suits their convenience nd sense of propriety, and that it It within their right to keep them on - while witnessing a performance at tha theater. They have as roneral rule done to heretofore, reirardlnu of nm. test.

Now, boys and girls, slneo we are again settled down to solid work we will talk a little with you on "Practical Education." We hear a great deal said In these days about practical educntlon, and it leads us tn Inquire what such an education is. Education is of two kinds, mental and manual, and they both may or may not bo practical. All agree that a good mental education, at least, comprises thn ability tn uso the English language correctly, to read In telligibly, to write legible and to lie able to answer any ordinary question in arithmetic. As far as common school education is concerned this Is bettor than many who claim tn bo well educated havo attained to. Without these education Is neither good nor useful, although we uro versed moro or less In tho so-called higher branches of learning. With them we have tho key that, with patience, ener gy and perseverance, will unlock all the higher branches. But with nothing morn than a knowledge of tho higher branches in addition to a knowledge of tho ordinary branches of common schools, tho education is far from being a real one. Education is nothing more or less than so much thinking power. We are not expected to remember everything found in books, nor is it well to put into books everything that should bo teamed. But a mind able to. think properly may produce everything learned from books and much more, and will at the same time bo able to make practical use of its power. The best education we caa get la tho power to think correctly. Hooka alone never make thinkers, but tho manner of pre senting truth has much tn do with it. Teaching without, rather than with books, make thinkers. Every method of Instruction should be practical, but when the practical takes- the place of that which develops thinking power, It Is proportionately a failure. The edu cation most needed at the present day is a practical one, both in character and result. The heaping on of flashy at tainments for the purpose nf show, to the neglect of the every-day needed practical attainments, Is far too com mon; and no one can be said to have a good education who has not, In additloa to the course of study of the schools, the power of turning his education to account In earning his own living. The education of the mind to the ex clusion of that of the hand is ouly a sort of a half education, a ono-sided affair. That the two may blend har moniously in a porfeot man, tho hand must be t ruined as well as the mind. Although the hand is only a moans, tho mind is the source by which manual la bor Is porformed, yet it requires a cer tain amount of training to peform skilfully that which tho mind directs. It is certainly no disgrace to a man to be able to cultivate the soil, drive a nail or carry a hod. While .ho may never bo called upon to do any of these, yet it adds to bis ability of usefulness. A laboring man is the normal represen tative of the human race, nay, an Intel ligent laboring man is tho rock upon whloh a nation may rest in safety. Every boy or girl, whether rich or poor, should emphatically be taught bow to work at some occupation and procure tbora a livelihood and until this Is done thoy have not a good education. The mind must be educated that the labor of the band may be more effootlve; the hands must bo educated that the educa tion of the mind may bo practical and usoful as well as ornamental. school notes! Everything is moving off smoothly since studies have resumed. The committee on local Institute will meet at Prof. Lenkerd's ofHoe on Satur day next to arrange for an Institute here.
