(Communication.) 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. f H.

Pointed designs are floored. 5 Owen’s prints al ' e n °t 30 popular I as they have*’ 6611 , :, Virginie is a fine texture, x ap jis largely imported. , 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. • Sir Barte Frere lately stated that in a single year more than ,£3,500,- 000 worth of diamonds have passed through the Cape Town post office.
