Education Should Broaden.
Is it not a faet that n great
many bright hoys and girls actn-
ally lenrn to quit work, to refuse
> to help about tile house or farm
at somo of the schools to which
they have been sent’.’ What does
it profit a hoy or girl to ho thus
taught to shoot at the sky and g<,
iu the hole? asks tile Galveston
News.
It is alright for parents to strive
to make their sons and daughters
leaders of men and women, and to
puab them iu their education just
At far as they will go. It is alright
for boys and girls to be ambitious
and hopeful, and to look aloft in
.their yearnings to he of special use
IP the world. It is not alright to
fancy thnt the opportunity to ac
complish such things lies nlong
only n few of the old lines, within
the narrow scope of u few worn-
out over-crowded professions.
Tile world is wide. The oppor
tunities are mnny. The old fal
lacy as to dillerences and distine-
lions in callings Inis been explod
ed. It is the age of progress and
of practical education. It is no
longer in order to adhere to the
old-time course which tended to
create in the student a disregard
for common suise, a distaste for
coni nun things and for practical
methods. Education of the best
kind should reveal to the bright
boy or girl the faet that there is
no useful service that is to I.,, de
spised. Snell, at all events, should
be the kind of teaching which the
State offers freely to its future
citizens.

A HAPPY SEQUEL
The Result of a Felicitous Termlna*
tlon to a Novel.
A few years ago one of our most
popular novelists was busily en
gaged in writing a serial novel for
a London journal when a certain
nobleman called on her in a state of
intense excitement.
“Do tell ine,” said he, “have you
finDhcd the story now appearing
in ?”
“Why, of course; some time ago/’
was the reply.
“Does the heroine die at the
end ?”
“Oh, certainly. After such con
sumptive symptoms as I have de
scribed how could she possiblv
live?”
“But you must make her live.
You must change the* catastrophe,
for on your heroine’s life depends
my daughter’s.”
“Your daughter’.-?” exclaimed
the novelist in surprise.
“Yes,” was the startling rejoin
der. “She has ail the various
symptoms of consumption which
you have described and watches
mournfully for every number of
your novel, reading her own fate
in that of your heroine. Xmv, if
you make vour heroine live I feel
persuaded that my daughter, whose
imagination has been very deeply
impressed, will live too. Come, a
life to save is a temptation”-—
“Not to be resisted,” added the
novelist.
Consequently t lie? last chapter was
changed. The heroine recovered and
was duly made happy. About five
years after the novelist met the
nobleman at a party.
“Ah!” he exclaimed, “let me in
troduce you to my daughter. 1
think she owes her life to you.
There she is.”
“What! That handsome woman
who looks the very picture of
health?”
“Yes; she is married, and has
had three children.”
“And my novel has had three
editions,” said the novelist with a
Jaug’*: “so we are quits.”—London

Men’t Hats In Elizabeth's Time.
The gay young courtiers of the
queen—Elizabeth of immortal mem
ory—shone resplendent in high
crowned hats of rare device, which,
like the brilliant Raleigh, they hung
around with strings of pearls,
Kingsley describes his Elizabethan
adventurer John Oxenhain as hav
ing on his head “a broad velvet
Spanish hat,” and Master Frank
Leigh as shading his delicate com
plexion from the sun with “a broad
dove colored Spanish hat with
feathers to match, looped up over
the right ear with a pearl brooch.”
But hats or caps were worn ac
cording to taste or circumstances,
and .Scott tells us thnt when Leices
ter rode bareheaded at Elizabeth’s
side on her entry into Kenilworth
his esquire had charge of his lord
ship’s black velvet bonnet, gar
nished with a clasp of diamonds
and surmounted by a white plume.
