Reed Not Be Unlike That For Oth ers la Ewentiala. There seems to be a difference of pinion as to the kind of education hlch farmers need, but all agree that .iccessful agriculture depends upon ed cation. 1 can see no reason why a inner primarily should receive any liferent education than any other per ira. What difference does it make ,'hether a boy means to be a farmer, a oetor, a lawyer or a hod carrier? The amfort of life as well as its useful ess, ln whatever sphere, depends upon lental grasp and power, and It is the usiness of the collego to give this very Iilng. The technical studies by which ie doctor, the lawyer and the agricul arist are equipped for their work by o means exhaust the scope of a col ,ge education. It is intended to fit len and women to fill their appointed laces lu life with satisfaction to them elves and profit to their fellows. r. A. Fuller. rh Granue BeneBcent Orenl llon.

THE FOOL WHO WOfC Horace Greelers Ttrmt In New York City. When Horace Greeley first went to New York city, a green, awkward country hoy, he met with discourage ment. For two days he tramped the streets, visiting two-thirds of the print ing offices In the town and always de ceiving a cold refusal of bis services. His biographer, Mr. W. A. Linn, says that by Saturday night Greeley was " thf the ?af tnlm no for the country on Monday, before his last dollar was gone. It happened that some acquaintances 0( uis landlord, who called on Sunday, told him of an office where a compos itor was wanted. Greeley went there Monday morning before the place was open. His appearance was so uncouth that he would have been rejected there also if the foreman had not had diffl- ln KettillS a compositor for a i"c - c "l . Thls was setting up a small New Testament with narrow columns, the text interspersed with references to notes marked in Greek and other un- the task and so little could the com positor earn at it that several men had abandoned the work almost as soon as they had begun it. The foreman offered the work to Greeley, believing that in half a day the boy would prove himself incapable of performing It. When the proprietor saw Greeley at work he asked the fore man why he hired that fool and said, "Pay him off tonight." But the foreman did not pay him off. This boy had worked on a New Eng land farm, had cut wood In the winter cold and in summer had worked ln the lleld3 under the noon sun. He was not afraid of toil. He set that Testament. When the foreman' examined the first proof he found that Greeley had set more type and set It better than any one else who had tried.

The native tilts his huge hat sidewise to avoid a crush, and often the coolies swing aslant in the alley or duck into ! a store to avoid a catastrophe. j The Chinese as a people are modest ln their dress. The person is rarely exposed. Women wear double breast ed sacks which fit tight to the throat and men are usually covered. But under the stress of hard labor the man at the forge is stripped to the waist, and ln the foundry a nearly nude workman strides the iron seesaw like a horse ln the treadmill. The butcher cleaves his flesher on the block amid dried rats and skins of fowls stretched taut on the rack. Next door the gold beater hammers ln his cave. Beyond the kindling man piles high his forest of fagots. Near by the miller is beat ing the meal through coarse sieves. Ilia neighbor skins fish and hopes to sell them from the box where they float under a feeble spurt of water. In the adjtrining den beautiful embroider ies are piled mountain high, with silks, satins and brocaded tnffetas ln won drous designs of dragons and flowers.

Mitn'a Conlldenee 1b Them. "Yes, I know that most of the boys carry a rope around with 'em," said the cenunercift! traveler, "and the time was when I would not have taken the road without one, but I gave mine to my wife for an extra clothesline three or four years ago. I rend occasionally at n rone saving somebody from a burning hotel, but I don't care to be laved that way." "Hut you don't want to be burned with the hotel, do your was asked. "Of course not, but if I can't get down by the stairs or the lion fire esoiipe I'll take my chances on a mat tress or a firemen'B ladder." "But what's the matter with a knot ted ropeT "I didn't think anything wa the matter for many year. I usd to go to bed feeling aa tuft aa a baby ln his crib, and if I found a traveler who dldnt carry a fifty foot rope ln hit grip I at him down aa a very rckl man. One day when I was in an inaiana town a lot of n jot to talkln about ruuM and bunting hotel, and wall I eyed bluffer offered to bet me $5 to $ 1 that I couldn't allde down my pope , from a third story window and not half kill myself. Of course I Jumped at tho bet, but he knew what he was talking about I hadn't lowered my self six feet before the rope burned my hands and I let go and broke a leg. Tho trick was tried by three others and though they escaped broken bones I they were badly shaken up and tongue bitten. After my log mended I bluffed i everybody I met on that rope business.

Imagine, if yon can but you never can a mighty cleft in the level earth a third of a mile wide, its brinks sharp, precipitous, reaching over 1,200 feet downward, sometimes almost perpen 1 dleular, sometimes banked with huge ' heaps of talus or buttressed with spln- dling pinnacles and towers often sur mounted with eagle nests, and all fainted, glowing with the richest color : vast patches of yellow and orange, j -trenklngs of red and blue with here I a towering abutment of red and there ! another all of yellow. At the bottom j flows the gleaming green river, and at the top the dark green forest reaches to the canyon edge, and sometimes even rugged and gnarled pines, the van guard of the wcxl, venture over the precipice to find footing on some ledge : or to hang, half dislodged, with angular, dead arms reaching out into the mighty depths, a resting place for soaring eagle or hawk. The sides of the can yon being not of solid rock, but of crumbling, soft formation, have fur nished plastic material for the sculp turing of water and wind, which have tooled them Into a thousand fantastic forms. One's eye tracesoit gigantic . castles, huge dog forms, btfW forms, ti tanic faces all adding to the awful im Dressiveness of the Dlace. For miles the canyon stretches north- ' ward from the lower falls. From numerous well guarded outlooks the spectator, grasping hard upon the rail ing lest the dizziness of these heights unnerve him, may behold a hundred varied views of the grandeur, looking either toward the falls, which seem to fill the canyon end like a splendid white column of marble, or off to the north ward, where the stupendous gorge widens out, loses some of it? '.Vpring, admits more of the forest Anally disappears among rugged moj,iuUins. Everywhere the view is one that places the seal of awed silence upon the lips. It never palls, never grows old. ! On soon sees all too much of geyser 1 and paint pot; of this, never. At first the sensation of savage Immensity is I so overpowering that the spectator gathers only a confused sense of big ness and barbaric color, but when he has made the perilous descent to the canyon bottom below the falls, when he has seen the wonder from every point of view, he begins to grasp a larger part of the whole scene, to form a picture which will remain with him. B. S. Baker in Century. The Vinton of Birds. Birds have very acute vision, per haps the most acute of any creature, and the sense is also more widely dif fused over the retina than Is the case with man. Consequently a bird can see sideways as well as objects in front of it. A bird sees, showing great un easiness in consequence, a hawk long before it is visible to man. Bo, too, fowls and pigeons find minute scraps of food, distinguishing them from what appear to us exactly similar pieces of earth or gravel. Young chickens are also able to find their own food, knowing Its posltiou and bow distant It is, as soon as they are hatched, whereas a child only very gradually learns either to see or to understand the distance of objects. Several birds, apparently the young of all those that nest on the ground, can see quite well directly they come out of the shell, but the young of birds that nest ln trees or on rocks are born blind and have to be fed. Chambers' Jour nal. . . . Told Out of School. The infant terrible Is always with us and in making trouble runs a close race with the wagging tongue of scandal. Accompanied by her young hopeful, a woman was calling on a friend who happened to live in one of a row of houses of exactly the same appearance. "The great objection to living ln a row of houses," remarked the hostess, "is the liability of making a mistake. Do you ever have any difficulty, my dear?" ' "Oh, no," replied the little fiend, breaking in unexpectedly. "Ma says she can always tell your house by the , dirty windows." New York Times. The Retort Courteous. A young and popular member of par liament was addressing a meeting at which there was a considerable rowdy j element present Like the er speak- til, losing patience, be called for st lence, saying, "Dou't let every ass bray at once." "You go on, sir," said the ringleader, and the honorable member was left without a reply. London Chronicle. A Dec Traey. Flora Too bed about Ousaie, wasn't itt Clara Dear me! I haven't heard.
