Cine of the most thoughtful and
philosophical papers react at the
meeting f thelir'• iehAssociation at
m g o rt 1
Cape Town was that of Sir Richard
Jebb, the enrinent sch0lor, on • tlei-
' e1city Education and National
Life." It dealt with every aspect of
education-sclentifc, technical, libel"-
al—and did not underestimate the
value of ,practical and tboroughly
Seicntine training, "There is a vast
world competition," said Professor
Jobb, "in srientiiic progress, on
whieh industrialandnd commercial pro-
gress must ultimately efepe.nd, and it
is of vital importance for every eosin -
tray that it should have man who are
not merely' expert in things already
known, but who can take their places
in the forefront of the onward
march,'•
The best feature of the address,
hcweve•, was its enlightened and ad-
mirable treatment of the question of
the claim of literature or literary
culture in education. There art, seicn-
tine men who speak with contempt
of "mere literature" and who regard
One and energy devoted to "the hu-
manities," classical or modern, as so
much waste, On the other hand,
men like Matthew Arnold have claim-
ed too much for literature, because
they have inadequate conceptions of
intellectual culture. Professor Jobb
tries to avoid exaggeration in either
direction. Ho says;
"It remains as true as over that
literary studies form on indispensa-
ble element of a really liberal educa-
tion. And the educational value
of good literature is all the greater
in our day, because the progress of
knowledge more and more enforces
early specialization, (rood literature
tends to preserve the breadth and
variety of intellectual interests. It
also tends to cultivate the sympath-
ies; it exerts a humanizing influence
b3 the clear and beautiful expression
of noble thoughts and sentiments; by
the coutemplatiorl of great actions
and great characters; by following
the varied development of human
life, not only as an evolution govern-
ed by certain laws, but also as a
drama full of interests which inti-
mately concern us. Moreover, as has
well been said, if literature he viewed
as one of the line arts, it is found to
be the most altruistic of them all,
since it can educate a sensibility for
other forms of beauty besides its
Tt is not merely to the happiness
and mental peace of the individual
that good literature ministers, "I3y
rendering his intelligence more flexi-
ble by deepening his humanity, by
increasing his power of comprehend-
ing others, by fostering worthy
Meals, it will add something to bis
capacity for co-operatiolh ; it will
make him a better citizen, and not
only a more sympathetic but a more
efficient nSelnber of society." It is
therefore an urgent problem of the
higher education of to -day how to
secure a proper measure of literary
culture to those students who intend
to pursue seieutiflo and technical
aims. It Is gratifying to know that
the London board of education has
under consideration carefully planned,
ecursos of study In which the best'
English prose and.verse will be pre -
'
scribed for college students, the;
study to bo directed to the sub-
•stance and meaning of the literature,
rather than to graminal' and philo-
logy, -and to be carried on in con-
junctime with studies in political and
social history. Above all, the object
of education, Professor Jobb erste
pt indeed, Was to give the student •
an Ideal and a love of knowledge and
wisdom, and mortal culture in this
sense is imilcssible where literature
and the arts aro neglected.

Richard N. Hall, who has given

cient monuments iu Southern ,It110-

dreds of ruins have been 131 Ore than

FOR TITR 1101111 LAUNDRESS.
To wash quilts, eiderdowns, and
shawls, stake some soap jelly by
slicing half a pound of soap into
ono pint of water and simmering it
till dissolved. When cold it will be
a jelly. Allow a big tablespoonful
of this to a gallon of hater and a
teaspoonful of 110(31id atnxn0nia.
Work all to a lather when just hot
enough le bear the hand comfortab-
ly. When all the soap is dissolver]
put in the goods to bo washed,
pressing them well down; wot'lo
about a little with the hand, then
leave for a quarter of an hour.
Wring out, using a Wringer if pos-
sible; put in another lot of suds.
Souse up and clown in this and
wring again. Rinse in clear, warm
water, tering as rlry as possible,
shake, and hang in a nice airy
place, but not fn strong sun. If
eiderdowns are being washed they
must bo constantly shaken during
the drying process or they will be
lumpy. Small clown pillows may be
cleansed in the 800(1 way, but will
take many days to dry, clod must be
shaken every few hours.

General Decrease, Except of the
Light Wines,
The decrease In the colestrinption of
wines, spirits and beer in the United
Kingdom during the last few years
has been frequently commented upon.
Last year it was very noticeable. The
Chancellor or the Exchequer ascribes
it to a wave of temperance, but
others say it is due to bad trade
and a scarcity of money.
Yet, coincident with the general de-
crease in the consumption of wino,
spirits and beer, there is reported a
notahlo increase in tho consumption
of port wile, not of the old heavy
variety so much as in the lighter
kiwis which have been kept in wood
and alio r0eoulmended by phy8ieians.
These varieties are used extensively
