It ¡« astonishing bow readily
| a bachelor will tike to baching
when the opportunity present*
itnelf. Now, there is the doctor:
you «hould nee him ill the kitchen.
As everyone known, he itt a model
>f nealnewH, but you tthould have
•een him making up biscuit this
rning. With mathematical ex-
[actnens the butter, «alt, baking
powder, flour and Hoda were each
measured in their turn. Then
came the mixing: first there was
too much milk for the flour, so
the profeHHor had to come to his
[assistance with a sifter of flour;
then the dough would stick to his
bands, so a butcher knife was
called in to scrape it off. How
he longed for a pair of forceps to
extract the particles of glue, but
the next minute he had wiped
them off on his apron and was
readv to proceed again. How
that apron docs sot the doctor off.
I hardly think it was made for
him; if it was it don't set that
way, for there about three feet
of exposed pant legs between it
and the floor.
Slitnv. who had been out to milk
the cow, came in about this time
and remarked on the quantity of
flour scattered on the floor and
table. Nevertheless the biscuits
were readv to be put in the stove.
Biscuits, did I sav? Chunks of
dough 1 should have said, for thev
were nearer biscuits when he put
them in than when thev came out.
In about twenty-five minutes the
biscuits were done, read\ to set
on the table. They were not a
bit larger than when they were
put in the pan. but the\ had lire
about them. 1 know, for they were
.almost red hot when they were
put on the table; they reminded
one very much of SamanthaV de-
scription of a lobster stew. They
•were parsed around and around,
but one was all that any of the
three could be induced to take
a mouthful of one wa a hearty
breakfast, and as far as nutrition
•was concerned, was equal to Pec k-
inpaw's nutritive pills.
1 don't think the soda had risen,
for after you had taken a mouth-
ful of one it started to rise, and it
was all you could do to swallow
as fast as the biscuit rose. H\
the way. he gave the dog one and
off, but seeing no chance for any-
thing else, was finally persuaded
to take a bite of one. Now, if you
ever saw a dog beg for toothpicks,
that dog did. It was pitiful to
hear him whine for just one more
toothpick. A chicken happened
to come along about that time and
proceeded to help himself. That
chicken must have been disgust
ed, for he ran all around the house-
three times before he could stick
his bill into it.
The doctor, himself disgusted
by this time, concluded to throw
the biscuits away. One of them
happening to fall in Major U.'s
yard, his little son, very much
astonished, picked up an ax and
tried to cut into it, but was as un-
successful as the three-lingered
giant in eating his rival's hoe-
cakes.
Hut how about breakfast? One
of the neighbors, hearing of the
biscuits, sent in about a dozen
hot ones, and now the doctor has
realized the fact that there is no-
body like a woman in a woman's
place. But bachelors will be bach-
elors. and so will the doctor.

Over-I dut dtion Sot the Evil.
Texas Stock and Farm Journal.
The remark of Mr. Hunting-
ton that over-education of the
masses is the cause of much of
the prevalent distress of the
country lias excited a great deal
of newspaper comment, and Mr.
Huntington has found some to
agree with hit". Prof. Alex.
Hogg seems to the Journal to
have suggested just what is the
fault in our school systems, and
it is that, perhaps, which Mr.
Huntington intends to condemn
education that does not prepare
e actual dutieft of life. As
Prof. Hogg aaya:
«The object of our schools
seems to be to fit all for literary
pursuits, forgetting that only
about four per cent of our people
belong to or follow what is called
literary work, and that ninety-
six per cent have to live by occu-
pations, by trades, by pursuits.
well enough for those who
are to engage in the learned pro-
fessions, or those who are to en-
ter upon a future that will possess
abundant opportunity for such
line of study as taste or inclina-
tion may sugest, to give years to
acquiring a liberal basis upon
which to build their future intel-
lectual work, and for such young
men are the colleges and univer-
sities of the country. Kor the
great mass of men the industrial
schools are the only educational
institutions that give them the
equipment as well as the training
that will tit them for the duties
;in which their lives will be en-
gaged. Mr. Huntington did not
accurately state the evil. It is
not that the schools give too
much learning. It is that they
waste vcars in teaching that
which the practical business
man, the mechanic or the farmer
straightway forgets when he
goes out into the world, having
never a use for it, and do not
teach at all, or only in a superfi-
cial way, the things which such
men, ninety-six per Ci nt of the
men of the country, will always
need to know.
In Texas, where one young
man goes from the primary
school to the school that gives
him the higher learning prepara-
tory toa professional or literary
career, a score or more should
go to such a school as the Agri-
cultural and Mechanical College.
The practical men of the world
are learning this, because in
their experience they have found
that the education which has been
of service ti them has been ac-
quired since they started upon
their careers, and after they
have left the school room. In the
studies of such an institution as
that at College Station there is
enough to call to strenuous exer-
tion all the intellectual powers of
student and of teacher alike.
The dav in which what German
philoaophera con tern ptu
called «the bread and butter
sciences could be despised haa
passed forever, and now such
sciences command ability high
as well as practical in the men
who seek to master them.

Money Easily Made.
Charley Beeler, of San Antonio,
stole $50,0"" from the Wells-
l'argo Express company and
then got live years in the pen,
nearly all the money remaining
in his posession. Ten thousand
dollars a year isn't bad for five
years in jail. After he comes
out he will be a respected pro-
perty owner in some distant
place. And thus the world wags.
