A Liberal Education. .
That mso, I tblnK. has bad a liberal
education who has been so trained In
youth that his body Is the ready serv
ant of bis will aud does with ease and
pleasure all the woiU that as ti mocb
aulsm it Is capable of ; whose iutellect
Is a clear, cold. Ionic engine, with all
its parts of eipial streiiKthi and , in

of work uud spin tbe Kossamers as
well as forge the anchors of the mind;
whose mind is stored with a knowl
edge of the great uud fundamental
truths of nuture uud of the laws of
her operations; one who. no stunted
ascetic, Is full of lire and lire, but
whose passions are traiued to come to
beel by a vigorous will, the servant of
a tender conscience; who has learned
to love ail beauty, whether of uature
or of art: to bate all vlleness and to
respect others os himself.
Such a man and no other, I con

T-ees and Fools.
Any fool can destroy trees. They
canuot run away, and if they could
they would still be destroyed chased
and bunted down as loug as fun or a
dollar could be got out of tbelr bark
hides, branching horns or magnificent
bole backbones. 1'Vw that fell trees
plant them. Nor would planting avail
much toward gettlug back anything
like tbe noble primeval forests. . Dur
ing u man's life only saplings can be
grown in the pluce of the old trees,
terts of centuries old. that bare been
destroyed. It took more than 3,000
years to make some of the trees In
these western woods trees that are
still standing in perfect strength and
beauty, waving aud singing in the
mighty forests of tbe Sierras. God bas
cared for these trees, saved them from
drought, disease, avalanches and a
thousand training, leveling tempests
! and floods, but he canuot save them
from fools. Only uncle Sam can ao

Ideas of advancement In South Amer
ica are aesthetic, wbllo lu the United
States they run along practical lines.
As an indication of the uses to which
capital bas been applied In South Amer
ica and the difference in temperament
of the people of that part of the west
ern-world as compared with the In
habitants of the United 8tates a story
Is told of a meeting between a Bra
sillan promoter and an American pros
pector at one of the new cities which
have recently sprung tip on the banks
of the Amazon. The native pointed
with pride to a pretentious opera bouse
overlooking the mighty river and asked
the stranger If the site was not superb,
"Well." said the man from one of our
western states, "I think it would be a
mighty fine place for a sawmill."
