Tolstoi believes we overeducate our children! The great Ruasian in a letter to a fritnd recently spoke at length on the folly . of dramming -a child's mind. He favored the suppression -of the greaterpart of the lessons of the -curriculum. In- their places, as occupation for young minds, ha suggests that children should . learn to. serve themselves as much as pos- Bible. -' - ' - 4- The first condition of a -good education,", ha iay s, "is : to make the. child feel - that the things - he uses do not fall from . heaven. Vail made, but are the work of others." He thinks it is more important that children should learn ti make their own beds, ; brush their .own clothes and clean; their own shoes than to know French or .history. Mis ideal in this matter .is to banish the lie from the education of the child. - "VHow can we expect a child to be sincere," 'he asks, 'when the world is full of lies un der the benevolent name of social convictions?"

Pt.thejiouse.- A number of members of the people's party and socialists - invaded the committee room -occupied by the sugar refiners, shouting, "Out with the riff rafll" Most of the occu pants left the room. Those who re- -fused to go were ejected by force. On the resumption of the sitting the Reichsrath ratified the Brussels sugar convention and then passed the third reading of the sugar tax ation bill.
