What Education Will Do. E. Benjamin Andrews in June Success. An examination of the educational work going en in the United States will reveal two dominant ideals shaping the results of that work, the one moral, tending to the development of altruism or public spirit, the other practical, tending to promote human efficiency. The scruples adverted to touching the outcome of modern education could not arise were raeu aware of tbe extent to which these ideals now pervade Ameri can education; yet these ideals impress themselves more and more, rendering education an enrichment of life and at the sauia time a preparation for life in its most practical aspects. Public schools have not yet attempted regular lessons iu morality, because the . simplest moral teaching has been thought to involve dogmas. Protest ants have feared that, if a Catholic teacher should seek systematically to teach her pupils self-restraint, purity, generosity, charity, truthfulness, and so on, the lessons would reach down into religious doctrine, and that some of her pupils would turn Catholics. Catholics, on the other hand, have trembled lest, if a Presbyterian or a Lutheran teacher, as part of the school work, should propound to her pupils any precepts, however rudimentary, in personal houor and uprightness, youth brought up in the ancient church would be in danger of espousing such a teach er's faith. This fear is now seen to be groundless. For all practical purposes morality can be taught without dipping into religion, and all sects are becoming aware of tbis. Public sentiment would sanction it, should schools at once begin systematic ally to inculcate all such virtues as cleanliness in speech and thought, thrift, tomperanco, fortitude, persever ance, veracity, the rights and laws of property, public spirit, love of country, and regard for parents, the aged, the feeble, the unfortunate and brutes. All parents wish to have their children schooled in these vastly important duties, provided the teaching is un prejudiced. The subjects mentioned can be so taught in school that no Cath olic, Protestant, Jew, or unbeliever will dislike the teaching or fear its effect on dogmas, church, life, or fealty. Moral education is one of the splendid new tasks which the twentieth century school will achieve. It will teach a most useful code of praqtical morality, fastening upon the child, at the very outset of his caroer, the principles cal culated to make good men and citizens. Then shall tbo school, already influen tial morally in a most praiseworthy de gree, roalizo its ideal as a moral and social power, working limitless and un precedented good to the state. That the individual operators of this region, or at least some of them, are in need of protection in exercising their right to mino and sell coal and save their properties from ruin by water is a fact which can be proven without much effort. The operators in question, from positive information which the Tribune has received, are willing and anxious to concede to their employes the demands of the United Mine Workers, but they are restrained from so doing by the tyranny of the coal-carrying roads which haul their product to tidewater. The Tribune knows that within a short distance of Freeland there is a mining iirui which inU'iided granting the steam men's demand. They wanted to save their collieries from drowning out. Im mediately a representative of the road which takes their coal called upon the head of the firm and notified him that if the firm carried out its intention they would not bo given a railroad car to iiil for twelve months. The threat had the desired effect, and the millionaire bowed acquiesence tp the edict of the law-breaking billionaire. CHOICE MISCELLANY Canned Goods In the'Sontlivrest. The Bouthwesterner gets his living from tin cans. There surely never was such a region for canned vegetables, canned moat, canned fruit, canned soup, canned milk, canned cheese. Empty tin cans form a charmed circle about every southwestern town and camp. Even whore he can profitably and easily produce his own food the southwesterner seer#-, to prefer to raise some exclusive crop, sell his product and buy canned goods. It is amusing enough to discover that the cattle rancher, though a thousand cows come up to water at hi.shanks every day or two, will yet serve condensed milk from cans that came from New Jersey; that his beef bears the mark of Kansas City; that even his poultry and eggs are imported at enormous prices from Kansas.* Ilis butter also comes canned. If it were not for the patient Chinese gardener, even the best irrigated val leys would be without fresh vegeta bles. But if the southwesterner fails in garden making he does delight in Bow ers, vines and shade trees. They re lieve the monotony of the gray desert and link him with his old green home in the cast. He will let his fields go thirsty in time of drought before be will ullow the rosebushes and the pop per trees in his front yard to suffer. Indeed so iuduslrious has he been in surrounding himself with shade and verdure that lie is open to criticism for overdoing the matter, overcrowding his small grounds. An irrigated valley town in blossom is a marvel long to be remembered.—Bay Stnnward Baker in May Century. Pulut ami Snap MIIWH. A natural soap mine and a paint mine arc two of the latest mineral discov eries iu northwest Canada. Several soda lakes have been fouud In the foot hills near Ashcroft, B. C. Their bot toms and shores are incrustod with a natural washing compound containing borax and soda. No two analyses agree exactly as to the composition of the ffiuterial. A New York analysis gives 20 per cent borax, while a Montreal chemist from the same sample gives 10 per cent borax. Tests prove the substance to be equal to the washing powders iu common use. Trials by blacksmiths ami farm workmen show that it will remove grease and dirt bet ter than soap. A syndicate of British Columbia men has been formed to put the product on the market. About 275 tons of the compound have been cut and taken out of the lake. It is han dled precisely as ice is handled. The blocks are more than nine inches in thickness, are sawed into pieces of fif teen and eighteen inches and weigh lif ty pounds each. Ilo>v Site Stop* a Cur. "Did you ever notice," said the man who had observmi things iu general until it had become chronic, "how the different classes of women attract the attention of street car conductors when they wish to get off the car and the conductor has his back turned? "A young woman who has not been city bred and who is retiring in dispo sition will ride two blocks out of her way before she will consent to attract attention to herself by creating a dis turbance. She will simply wait until the conductor looks around. Another woman, more self reliant, would calm ly ring the bell and stop off. "Then there is the clinging vine type of woman, who always appeals to the man sitting nearest her. The matron who bus self possession will invariably speak loud enough for the conductor to hear and yet retain her dignity. The masculine woman will whistle."—-New York Herald. Anti-Chinese Camuln. The latest Canadian order in council is to forbid Japanese and Chinese cut ting shingle bolts or logs from the crown lands. This means that hun dreds of Japanese will be driven into tlio United States, as they were almost exclusively employed. The laws are also being passed against Chinese, and, although they are arriving by hundreds on every ship and the Canadian gov ernment gets SIOO a head, the China men find that nearly all avenues are blocked in the way of making a living in Canada, so they walk into the Unit ed States, Canada getting the tax and Washington state getting the China men. The inadequate United States immigration staff cannot prevent the Chinamen from crossing the lino, while white men who smuggle them over are getting rich at SIOO a head. Pull Together! England alone has twice as many cotton spindles as there are in this ' country, but this will assuredly be j changed in tbe long run, and the spin ning of the American crop will be done at home. The crop, however, increases faster tluiu the home spindles, and it will be years before we can drive out of this or that market the goods of for eign spinners. The task calls for the best efforts of New England as well as of southern manufacturers. Ameri can mills should pull together. The south is eontent to spin and to weave the coarser goods, and New England has a wide field in the making of tin? tflner forms into which cotton is put nowadays.—Birmingham Age-Herald.

Wo call the attention of our readers to one of the most popular and success- i ful educational institutions in the state. ! the state normal school located at East Stroudsburg, Monroe county, on the i main line of the D. L. & W. Railroad. This institution stands in the front rank of normal schools. It is closing the ninth year of its existence under the most flattering success. The school has had a most phenomenal growth, and has from the first maintain ed a very conspicuous place among the educational institutions of the state. It lias an alumni of over seven hundred, many of whom are leaders in their pro fessions. A large recitation building is being erected which will give additional class room accommodations for the growing demands of the school. The school lias its own electric light plant and in every respect is up-to-date. Indeed it is one of the most home-like schools in the country. A more beauti ful and healthful spot could not well be found for a school than that of the East Stroudsburg state normal school. Al ready pupils are engaging rooms for the fall term which will open on the Bth of September. In another column will be found particulars of this institution. A Query. "When Kate is out, I sometimes lay The tray for dear mainma, And she will say, "My little girl, A help indeed you are." One night I thought that I would try, Befoiv T went to bed, To lay the tray for Katie, too, And she came in and said: "You naughty child, what have you done? This clean, fresh elotli! Just see! Run quick, I say, up stairs to nurse And do not bother me!" I wish some little girl could tell, For I'm sure I don't know, llow I can bother Kate so much When 1 help mamma so. —•Grace A. Cannon in Youth's Companion. A Generous Invitation. Three-year-old Edward, whose father has a hennery, called to a playmate who was passing with a milk can in her hand: "lias the cow been laying some milk for you?" Then he shouted: "Come over and play with me." "I can't," replied the little girl; "I'm going home." "Come over after you get froo going home," said Edward. The Speed of Fishes. It is interesting to note the speed of fishes. Porpoises have been seen to dart round and round a steamer trav eling seventeen miles an hour. Her rings in schools move steadily at a rate of between ten and twelve miles. Mack erel are much swifter, and both trout and salmon go at a rapid pace up stream. Whales swim at a rate of sixteen miles 1111 hour when excited.

A remarkable instance of the loss and recovery of speech is recorded in Glas gow, says a London paper. A police constable was arrested on a series of 1 charges of theft from warehouses, and, as a result of the shock caused lv his ! apprehension, he lost his power of speech. lie was found not guilty of the charge laid against him, hut. being dumb, was unable to resume his duties as a policeman, and a gratuity of £O3 was given him. After the lapse of sev eral weeks his power of speech has re turned to him. Loyal Young Citizens. Some years ago nearly a thousand children of Montclair, N. J., signed the following promise: "We, the undersigned, agree to work together to make Montclair a happier place In which to live by trying to re move everything which would make it less healthful or less beautiful and by adding anything we can which makes it more healthful or more beautiful." These young people were divided into twenty-four societies, each meeting once a month. At these meetings re ports were given as to what the mem bers were doing and suggestions of new plans made. Essays were written upon the importance of cleaning the streets, bird life and other similar top ics, for the best of which prizes were offered. The result was that the streets were free from waste paper and other loose objects, flower beds were laid out on the school grounds and vines plant ed against the buildings. In an Ohio city a society of boys and girls agreed not to throw paper or other refuse on the streets, and each boy agreed to keep the sidewalk in front of his own door clean. This sort of work is open to the boys of every town in America. Apitrchemi ve. "I'm kind o' worried about Josh," said Mrs. Corntossel. "He seems to me to be doin' purty good," rejoined her husband.
