—Lord Rosbery addreseed a large meet- ing at Manchester in connection with the contevary celebration of the chamber of commerce. Lord Rosebery contended that the condition of agriculture abroad, despite vounties and protection, was little bet: r and in some cases was worse than in Kuyvland. He quoted Sir Wilfrid Laurier as @ “most dlustrious authority sustaining the view that it ise free trade whicn has preserved aud consolidated the Britixt) empire.” He tully agreed with Sir Wilfred Laurier, he declared, that any
devia.ivn from absolute political and commercial ireedom would weaken the bonds holding the
empire together and that “anything in the direction of an imperial zoelverein would weaken the empire internally aud excite the permanent hostility of the whole world, already seriously excited by British prosperity under free trade.” He said he “would tread softly in the preseuce of the ideaof a zollverein, for he believed it already dead. It behooved them to walk strovgly and warily in the path oft the empire, but such au zollverein would form @ permanent menace of war. > 2a

Evelution of the Educational Ideal.
Let us place ourselves apart from the tumult which rages on both sides, and, closing our ears,’ question ourselves whether a new educational ideal may be evolved from this strife of contending factions and what the general charac- ter of this ideal would be. If we assume that the three features which I have mentioned may be combined, we should havea popular, realistic, individualistic ideal of education—popular, not exclu- sive or aristocratic in the marrower sense of the word; national, not foreign or international, but rather the result of an evolution from the national life itself; realistic, characterized by strength and aetion and not by mere thought and esthetic sentiment; indi- vidualistic—i. e., aiming at the devel- opment of the individual and not at the establishment of dull uniformity; not democratic, therefore, if this word im- ply a general reduction to a dead level, but rather aristocratic, in the sense of an individual, not a class, aristocracy.
It would be presumptuons at the pres- ent day to state what the concrete form of such an educational ideal would be. I wish to say, however, that the svci- ety corresponding to the above ideal would be that of an aristocracy of mind. Is this the type toward which we are tending? Is the aristocracy of birth and wealth to be supplanted by the aristocracy of personal worth and merit? This has been the philosopher’s dream from the day of Plato’s ‘‘Repub- lic’’ to the present hour. It is the tend- ency of nature. It would be the aristoc- racy of nature to have every individual stand independently upon his own per- sonal merit and not upon the achieve- ments of his father.—Professor Paulsen in Forum.
Shot at Two Stars.
Bob Cunningham and two compan- ions went coon hunting near Pulaski. Coons can be found only at night, and they are usually seen near a cornfield. The trio; with their dogs, had wander- ed about half the night, when Bob sud- denly pulled up with ‘Hist! I see a big one.’’ He became afflicted with a touch of the buck fever and danced about in a strange and weird manner. ‘‘De you see his eyes?’’ he asked. ‘‘I'm going to shoot.’’ .
The gun went off and Bob said, with many an adjective, ‘‘I’vye missed him.”’ He loaded up again and blazed away, and still he declared he saw the eyes. None of the other parties could see the first symptom of eyes, neither could they hear Mr. Coon rustling among the trees. Bob declared that he could, and he shot once more, but the ‘‘eyes’’ were still there.
He is a pretty good shot, and firing three times at so large an animal asa coon made him think, so he walked over to the tree where he saw the coon and took a good look, and then discov- ered that he had been shooting at two stars that were peeping from between the limbs of the tree. —New Castle Courant-Guardian.

A SOAP BUBBLE.
fhe Relation of Its Varying Thinuess to the Colors It Shows.
The extreme thinness of the bubble is indeed wonderful. It is estimated that the film in some places 18 only one three-millionths of an inch in thickness. Probably few of us can conceive of such
thinness. Let me express it in another way. The Old and the New Testament ‘Ontain some 3,000,000 of letters. Now one three-millionth is such a part of an j s the first letter of the Bible isa

THE WONDERS OF A WATCH.
Few Persons Know Uow Grect Its Mar- velous Powers Are.
A Boston jeweler who has a talent
for advertising as well asa genius for
| mechanics has been reminding his pa-
trons lately that a watch is the small- most delicate machine that was ever constructed of the same number of parts. About 375 different pieces of ma- terial enter into its construction and upward of 2,400 separate operations are
est,
| comprised in its manufacture.
| jewel of a watch makes every day
j
Seme of the facts connected with its performance are simply incredible, when considered in total. A blacksmith strikes several thousand blows on his anvil in a day and isright glad when around, but the roller and day after day 482,000 impacts against the fork, or 157,680,000 blows in a year without stop or rest, or 8,15%8,600,000 in the short space of 20 years.
These figures are beyond the grasp of our feeble intellects, but the marvel
punday comes
does not stop here. If has been estimat- |
ed that the power that moves the watch is equivalent to only four times the
| force used in a flea’s jump; consequent-
bubble, however, is not of equal ‘1 less at all points, and it is for this feason that it has the various colors. kor instance, wherever the film is orange red it measures about three-mil- nths an inch; where it is blue, eighty millionths of an inch, and ital] t where lemon yellow is prom inent about twenty one millionths of an | inch. Pr ps you wonder why the col ors change from one part of the soap | bubble to another. This is because th lm of the soap bubble evaporates and grows thinner, but unequally so at dif- | erent portions. A greenish blue With a pale rose red spot near it indicates an extreme thinness, and at such a point the film 1s ready to give way at the | least jur.
You will be glad to know the source
of the beautiful colors. Every one is de- lichted with them, even if not interest- ed by the explanation of their origin. |
We may say that they come from the light. Lig! bet not exa bubble. be broken into the seven colors which we have seen in the raintow. In that instance the raindrops separate it into its parts. A glass prism will do the same, as you may prove by looking turough a glass pendant trom a hanging lamp. When the light reaches the sur- face of the soap bubble, a part is reflect- ed from it, and we see images on its surface as if it were a curved mirror. Another portion of the light, however, enters the film and is separated so that parts of the seven colors are thrown
various portions of the opposite surface. Another part of the light, after being broken by the film, is reflected by its inner surface back to our eyes, so that we sce colors at the point where the light enters.—Jacob F. Bucher in Bt. Nicholas.
