If one does not study things because they "train the mind," why, then, should one study them? The answer is extraordinarily simple. One studies tiling because they serve a purpose. 1 do not say, mark you, a useful pur pose, but a purpose a valid purpose, a genuine purpose, not a make believe purpose. Mental discipline Is not a valid 'or genuine purpose it's a make believe. Meanwhile the nuinlier of purposes, of genuine, valid purposes, is simply In Unite. Learning to read Vergil Is, of course. Just as valid a purpose as learn ing to play a symphony or learning to bake a pumpkin pie. The test Is, how ever, not. Did the student get mental discipline? but Can be rend and en Joy Vergil? Con he play the symphony? WIH some one eut the pie? And Iw-aiue people rarely care to read Vergil, becaone almout none of the thousands who study Latin ever can or do read Vergil, therefore, In so far as they are concerned, studying Latin has no purpose and cannot be defended as mental discipline.

It has been calculated that a single tree Is able through Its leaves to purify th air from the carbonic add arising from the respiration of considerable number of men, perhaps a dozen or rrao more. The volume of carbonic add exhaled by a human being In the course of twenty-four hours Is put at bout 100 gallons, but by Boussln gault's estimate a single yard of leaf surface, counting both the upper and the under side of the leaves, can. In favorable circumstances, decompose at least a gallon of carbonic acid a day One hundred square yards of leaf sur face then would suffice to keep the air pure for one man, but the leaves of tree of moderate size present a surface of many hundred square yards. All other forms of vegetable life act similarly In abstracting the noxious carbonic arid from the atmos phere.

AbsentmlndeilneHs was characteristic of Mark Twain. lie lived so much in the world within that to him the mate rial outer world wus often vague and shadowy. Once when he was knocking the balls about in the billiard room George, the colored butler, a favorite and privileged household character, brought up u curd. So many canvass ers came to nel I him one thing and an other that Clemens promptly assumed this to be one of them. George Insist ed mildly, but firmly, that though a stranger the caller was certainly a gentleman, and Clemens griimbllngly descended the stairs. As he entered the parlor the caller rose and extruded bis hand. Clemens took it rather limply, for Jie bad no ticed some water colors and engrav ings leaning agnlnst the furniture aa If for exhibition, and be was instantly convinced that the caller was a pic ture canvasser. Inquiries by the stranger as to Mrs. Siemens and the children did not change Mark Twain's conclusion. He was polite, but unresponsive, and grad ually worked the visitor toward the front door. An Inquiry as to the home of Charles Dudley Warner caused the caller to be shown eagerly In that di rection. Clemens, on the way back to the billiard room, heard Mrs. Clemens call him she was 111 that day. "Youth r "Tea, Llvy." Be went In for a word, "George brought me Mr. B.'a card. I hope you were nice to him; the B.'a were so nice to us once In Europe while you were gone." "The B.'s? Why, Llvy!"

Later he told mo he had it In for Mullally and Abbott, heads of the United Railways, and was out after them." The affidavit caused Judgo Dunne to dofer action until Saturday.
