The deepest coalmine is in Belgium,
s,o leet.
A very remarkable case of a pervert
ed and artificial ta;te is found in the
person ot Uiiarles J. Cummings, a tliriv
ug grocer ot West Philadelphia. The
queerest combinations of food imagina
ble imxmres wnicn would nauseate an
ordinary person are his favorite dish
es. It is not that he likes fond n,,,!
different from the usual style, but it is
the manner in which he mixes ordinary
dishes which excites so much vvnmW
and has given rise to so many conjec
tures and attempted explanations. For
instance, says the Philadelphia Times,
Mr. Cummings butters raw toinatrww.
puts salt in his coffee, vinegar in his
milk, gravy in his ice-creaml cream on
his melon, and makes manv ot.hn.r k.
binations to tickle his palate which nro
nothing if not unique. One of his favor
ite dishes is rare steak breaded with
fruit cake, with a rtressitu' of currant.
jelly. In winter a regular morning
ineal of this gentleman is lettuce
chopped fine, with a dressing of mo
lasses and red pepper. There are many
other unheard-of dishes which delight
his peculiar palate, but enough have
been mentioned.
This freak of appetite has excited the
curiosity of Mr. Cummings' friends for
many , years, and even the neighbors
have indulged in comments as to the
sause of such a striking phenomenon.
Hearing about the case, n reporter vis

"I don't know that I am more stub

smile, as he lit a fresh cigar, "but they

A toreign textile ioiinial records tbe
invention of a new kind of looped
fabric, which has n. novel and bountiful
effect with a durability never before at
tained. The peculiarity about it is that
worsted is used for the thread forming
the figure of the design, and ulpaca or
mohair for the threads forming the
ground of the design. The contrast be
tween the lustrous and beautiful
threads of the mohair and the worsted
gloves, it is said, forms an effect that is
atrikingly novel.

In olden times education was not val
ued as it is now. It was realised that
an educated mnn was in some sense su
perior to ignorant people, but he was re
garded as effeminate for wasting his
timo in poring over musty parchments
and missals, and otherwise looked upon
pretty much as peoplo nowadavs re
gard a man trying to discover perpetual
motion.
Nowadays, saja Golden Day, educa
tion has been t lalk-d to its proper place,
at the head of all acquired gifts.
An uneducated adult is an object of
pity, and frequently of contempt, and
the very first step a boy makes toward
future greatness is to acquire an eduoa
tion. Ho must be a stupid boy, indeed, who
does not value an education and realite
that ho can not become great without it.
It is true that thero aro rich men who
are illiterate, but theso are accidents of
fortune. Thoy may have had money
loft to thom, may havo diacovorsd a
mine, or may havo hoarded up money
like a miser. But theao aro exceptions
mo ruio is that education is the only
ladder to fame.
. Hut then aritee tho question what
oonstitutos an education? Tho Wabaah
railway has iasued a poaitivo order that
no boy shall be employed in any of its
shops or other departments, for the
purpose of learning any trade or skilled
work, unless ha brings a certifloata
from hia instructors atating that ho has
completed his atudies up to the second
class of tho grammar school. Thii would
includo a knowledge of arithmetic up
to mensuration, reading, writing,
spelling, elementary geography and
grammar, some history, otymology and
natural history, and may be taken aa
a fair standard of a common-achool edu
cation. If a boy baa the means and can afford
the timo, ho should not atop here. He
should go through tho high school and
college, and take special courses in en
gineeringcivil, mining or oloctrical
chemistry, physic, or any one or more
of tho numerous useful branchea now
open to bright, energetic boya. Hut lf
ho must stop at a common-school eduoa
tion, or oven if he goes through cellego,
ho must not stop learning if ho wishes
to be;ome groat.
Text-books do not contain all the in
formation with which boys should ac
quaint thomselves. They are but the
foundation stones of knowledge. A boy
should study current events, tho history
of tho world which is always happening.
iiero la where books, magazines and
newapapera hava their greatest value.
Ho mint road books of travel if he
would know about the goography of the
world; as, for instance, Stanley's de
scription of Africa in the light of re
cent discovery.
Almost every day tho bright boy may
read of some new discovery in science,
history, botany or chemistry, and add to
his education by just that much. Tho
knowledge thus acquired is alwaya a
source of pleasure and frequently of
profit. And it is a peculiarity of learn
ing that tho moro you study the easier
It is to study.
The man who has learned two lan
guages can moro easily learn a third;
ono study acta a a prop to another, and
o it is in every branch. The civil en
gineer could easily master oloctrical en
gineering, and the boy who reada his
tory understandingly imbibes geography
with scarcely an effort.
In tho case above quoted the railway
company has found that boys who have
completed tho English branches of
study learn skilled work moro easily
than those who havo not.
Tho reason it quite apparent. Skilled
Work requires the exercise of tha reason
ing powers; tho worker mutt under

ing. A boy with an education will
tninic wniio ho works; ho will ttudy
and contrive tho very best way of doing
any thing; his brain has been drilled to
reason and it does reason.
Such a boy is twico as valuable, to his
employer as an unthinking, ignorant
boy, howovcr obedient and willing he
may be, and tha employer is bound to
appreciato his services at their proper
worth. Such a boy is bound to riso out
of thncvery-day rut; ho will master his
trade in half tho time an Ignorant lad
would consume
These aro prizes worth striving for,
an they are within the reach of any
boy of ordinary ability who will study
with diligenco after he leaves school.
