Practical Education.
Getting an education according to the
common acceptation of the term, is get
ting such instruction as is received from
books in the different institutions of
learning, and when one leaves these in
stitutions as a graduate she is
said to be educated to a certain extent,
but unless one has had a practical train
ing in the common affairs of life, either
before entering or leaving any of these
institutions, there will be a great falling
short of such knowledge as will fit one
to fight life’s battles successfully and
smoothly. Education is that acquired
knowledge which is accumulated by ex
perience, and which grows as gradual
in us from outward impressions and
constant repetitions of the same acts of
thought as the different athletic move
ments become more easy by practice in
the feats of the gymnast. Hence the
importance of proper acts and trains of
thought, which grow with our growth,
and strengthen with our strength. From
the birth of an infant, and until its eyes
open upon the variegated beauties of life
which are made manifest to it through
the light of the sun, in connection with
the optic nerve, its education begins and
never ceases unless it is deprived of its
senses or until the powers of its physical
nature refuse to perform their functions,
they being required to stop by the King
of all flesh, the Master Slayer death
And then, for aught we know. “ T *j dt
glorious world which here that
is still connected has seen
it will be an education that will
• . with the perfect,
give it. r
are many who graduate from high
tfiiiversities and seminaries and go out
into the active world, that make little or
no use of their education, because they
cannot get employment at the profession
or art they aimed to follow, or. because
that profession or art does not make
them the returns they expected, conse
quently they will do nothing, being too
proud to go at any manual labor for fear
they might soil their hands, and ashamed
to work for a salary upon -which they
cannot appear fashionable and stylish,
thereby showing a lack of moral courage
and moral will to make themselves use
ful until they can do better. Many insti
tutions of disgrace are filled with such a
class of people. Such people resort to
any kind of trickery to make a living, it
is a want of proper training at home and
in the school that causes the young to
wander from the path of duty and recti
tude. It is common, necessary and right
that a person should be especially
trained for the avocation upon which his
livelihood depends, but is absolutely es
sential that all should be thoroughly and
morally educated, if we would have
happy times and a peaceful and lasting
form of government. Education is not
gotten out of books merely,’ it is gather
ed from every source that can be made
subservient to man's necessity and ele
vation,'and that is the highest education
which makes man most useful to man.
More practical education is gotten out
side of institutions of learning than in
them. The theory of education is form
ed in schools of learning, but the practi
cal and most useful part outside—it is
experience and circumstances that edu
cate. It is not teachers in schools and
professors in colleges merely—the theory
of education is formed in schools of
learning, but the practical and most use
ful part outside ; it is experience and cir
cumstances that educate. The founda
tion of all education is in the domestic
circle around the fireside and in the nur
sery. If the discipline and teaching is
good in these places, the prospects for a
good and useful life are more favorable
and more certain. Every' one more or
less is his own educator, and upon his
self-teaching his happiness and fortune
depends, as well in a great measure the
happiness and success of his posterity.
Mankind is an epitome of God himself,
and is placed here by his Creator to de
velope that God-given nature in him and
the man who succeeds in doing this most
perfectly has complied with the laws oF
his being, and fulfilled the object of his
creation. He is the best educated who
can perform his part the best, and by §o
doing contribute the most possible bene
fit to humanity. It is not generally con
sidered that those who do the most good
have the best education and are the best
educators, but those who make the
greatest display' of their learning and
create the most fame by so doing. Edu
cation cannot be too highly appreciated
by the young—
It’s education molds the human mind,
Just as the youth is bent, so the man’s
inclined.
Its not a knowledge of literature and the
sciences only, but a knowledge that
' aims at a higher elevation than to which
■ man has yet attained, that is an improve
ment upon all things if possible that are
known upon morals and religion, as well
! as upon literature and the arts and sci
> ences. The spiritual part of a man's be
: ing is the most important part, and there
l fore should be the most cared for and
1 developed, but no part of man’s nature
■ should be neglected because the neglect
I of one part will be more or less detri
-1 mental to the other.

:, Virginie is a fine texture,

, Bayonaise and Nun’s veilings are
lovely Summer fabrics.
Narrow stripes with wide spaces
j between are very fashionable.
Montarde is the latest yellow in
i the world of elegant dresses.
Indistinct mixtures of gray and
brown are very much liked.
Basques and polonoises both en
joy about equal favor ; the basque
and trimmed skirt is the first choice
in rich material.
Damasses are wrought in flowers
and leaves, ranging all the way from
small blossoms to full blown roses
and sprays of well developed leaves.
The short gored skirt is a very
distinctive style of street costume;
i the polonaise worn with this skirt is
1 arrangedl Watteau plait at the
back, with a plaited scarf drapery
across the front.
White fischus, made of mull and
lace, come in various sizes. Some
are trimmed with beaded lace and
ribbon bows ; this style has a cluster
of French flowers at the waist, placed
just below the belt on the left side.
The “Jessica” costume is remark
ably' effective —the design is so novel,
and yet there is no indication of any'
singularity. It is formed of a drap
ed front polonaise, showing pointed
side panniers. It is cut oil just be
low the waist at the back, support
ing upon the basque thus formed a
very bouffant arrangement of the
skirt.
The various shades of what is
called in colors, “coachman’s drab,’’
figures generously in millinery.
Middle-aged ladies cannot generally
wear these hues becomingly ; the
somberness of the dye is antagonist
ic to sallowness, which usually char
acterizes complexions on the declin
ing side of thirty-five.
Flowers are profusely used in both
millinery and toilet embellishings.
Rich sprays, dotted with buds and
full blown blossoms, are disposed on
the left or right shoulder, and at the
waist; and often on dinner .and eve
ning costumes you will see clusters
of flowers placed on the side of
draped tabbins, and here and there
running over the train skirt are
bouquets of rare exotics ; sometimes
they are natural, and will be thus
generally' used during the summer
months.
