WATERLOO, Ont. ns abe, Ting THE EDUCATED MAN Much Comes From Intercourse With People--Not Merely Re- ceiving But Giving, Not Learn- ing Alone But Doing. The most important part of educe tion comes from intercourse with peo- ple. From this side comes. the edtica- tion In love and duty and service. The actions of people stimulate imitation and emulation. By these men grow in power and skill. From observation of the character of people men form ideals of character for themselves and are transformed thereby. Herein les the consummate educative power in Christianity the transforming power of the divine man. According to this new idea, educa- tion Is not merely receiving, but giv- ing; not learning alone, but doing. The educated man is open eyed and open minded, quick to respond to inflo- ences {rom without, learning from all his experiences and growing in power as he grows In knowledge. Charles Kingsley said of his father that "he possessed every faculty but the facul ty of using his faculties." He was not an educated man, although he was a very learned one. Education is an individual matte No two men can be educated alike in manner or degree. They respond to different Influences and grow in differ- ent ways. One becomes educated by way of schools and colleges and life, another by life alone, The measure of a man's education is the measure of his use in the world ~George W. Mar- tin in Boston Globe. ---------- A COSTLY NAP. Slumber That Led to the Death of King Charles I. In the middle of Holborn once stood an inn, the George and Blue Boar, and there took place an incident which en- tirely changed the whole tale of' Eng- land's history, As twilight was falling In October, 1648, a very tired post boy mounted on a sweating horse pulled up outside the old tun, The Jad knew nothing of the importance of the letters which lay In his post bag. His orders were to gonvey them to a polnt on the Great North road, where he would be met by other messengers, But Cromwell's sples had followed him from the south coast, for Eng- land's liberty depended upon his dis- patches miscarrying. The boy had Some supper and afterward fell asleep, his head pillowed on his post bag. While he slept Cromwell's men took the bag and found in it a letter from King Charles 1. to the Scottish gener- als arranging for his rescue, an imme- diate advance on London and the ar- rest and execution of Cromwell and his friends, That same evening Cromwell had the fatal letter and determined on Charles' death.--London Tit-Bits. -------------- Fish, Pen and Ink. "One year I found a lot of cuttlefish that ran into the surf," said a worker on one of the California beaches. *1 was riding along the beach, dnd I got a pole and rode into them and killed about twenty, 1 guess. Some were eight or ten feet long. I hauled them up and showed them for four or five days in my whale tent; then 1 sold them to the fishermen, who salted them down for bait, taking out the bills, eyes and pens, which I sold as curios. Each ecuttle, besides a sac of indelible ink, had a pen a foot long, a beautiful object, as delicate and fraglle 8 a feather pen. The eyes when hardened looked like pearls, and they Are mounted as pins. The bills are chestnut color and look like a parrots bi" What Was Left. "Mostly of Chicago" is the way a man described his residence, His char acterization seems reasonable. When he was six years old, he cut off one of his toes with a scythe. When he was eight, he shot off two Joluts of one of his fingers. Me ran away from home when he was fourteen, and the frost of a winter night took off three more toes and the tip of his nose. At twenty-five he lost his entire right foot. A drunken half breed bit off an ear in the Klon- dike, a Dakota corn sheller took his left rm, and since then he has lost three Wigers, a joint from another fin- ger and one eye. ---------- Almost a Death Struggle. A large crowd had gradually formed around the two fashionably dressed and oblivious Young girls, and at one time it seemed necessary to separate them. "What can it mean?" said the stran- ger who had just come up. "It took me," said the man addressed, "some time to learn; but, as I under- months In Europe, and while she was gone the other one has learned to play golf, and they are trying to tell each other about it."--Lite, | WOLVES OF FRANCE. | | A Picture of Their Ferocity In the | { Eighteenth Century. | "The ferocious wolf," sald a nature | i student, "is the most perfect expres sion of earnivorous bioodthirst that walks. His jaw Is the most terrible of | weapons. Its slashing bite can break the leg of a buffalo, and the noise of it when at work In a sheepfold resembies nothing so much as the incessant cracking of a heavy whip." He took down a boek. "Here is what the wolves of France were like," be sald. "This Is a letter from the famous Duchess of Orleans, dated at Marly, Feb. 9, 1700: i "'Packs of wolves commit fearful | | ravages.

Here Is one reason for this belief: She hatches among the late broods of summer and soon after leaves 'the nest, leading "a vagabond } existence, night and day, among the | autumn flowers, The winter she passes ! in an earth burrow dug by herself and | unaided establishes -a eolony in the | spring. These combined periods of fall | and spring require the dally use of her | frail wings In the fleld at least four! months, Now, we know that the wings | of the worker honeybee wear out in! less than half that time; also that the | old queens who take to the field after the nest breaks up in August fre | quently have tattered wings and soon | The revised code of education which | was introduced in 1862 made provision | for nothing but reading, writing and | arithmetic in thelr barest forms: There Was no suggestion about grammar, ge- | ography, history or intelligence in any study. Explanation of the reading les- Son was not demanded, and therefore | it was neglected in some of the schools. The following 1s an example: The lesson was one giving an ac | count of a clever dog which had res- | cued a child from drowning. It was said that the dog was caressed by the | parents of the child. I asked what was | the meaning of the word "caressed," | and the answer came at once, "Made | of fond led." | On referring to the list of words at | the top of the page I found the ex-| planation given was, "made of, fon- | dled. | Wishing to find out if any child in | the class had got a glimmering of the | meaning, I went from top to bottom | and got from every child nothing but | "made of fond led," pronounced as four | words, to which they attached no mean- | Ing whatever. | The teacher was surprised that I was | not satisfied with the intelligence of | the teaching. | ---------- A Tenor's Rebuke. | Roger, the great French tenor, a sen- { disappear, Nature does mot supply in. | Sitive soul, was prone to take offense | sects with new wing cells as it sup- | At any slight, whether intentional or | plies birds with new wing feathers. | Bot.

"It's odd the different sources of | bank deposits," remarked a bank of- | ficial, "For example," he said, "we re- ! celve thousands of dollars every year | from Cleveland men in the army and | bavy. The amounts range from $5 al month from privates to $30 or more | from some of the officers, "Most of this is sent to us direct by | the paymasfer of the army or navy, | as the case may be.
