v tpeoltiig the methods of military education
pursued by llio principal Continental l'ow**
. el*, Imvo reported their proceeding*, and ilio
result nppoafs in the form of u blue-book,
said to be one of tlie most valuable over is- j
sued. Tlioy stato that in every country
tlioy liave visited, n higher value is attach- ;
oil to the scientific training of at least a con- i
siderablo portion of the oflicers of the army !
than in Great Britain, their system of edu- i
cation being more comprehensive and com- j
pleto, and the sums expended therefor much !
larger. France expends annually for this
purpose ?48,000 ; Austria, ?127,000; Prussia,
?20,000; while the yearly expenditure
of Great Britain is only ?5,854, and until
a very recent period was only ?1,300. In
tho Continental countries named above, and
in Sardinia, military education is made the
business of a special department of tho Government.
Tho report thus speaks of the
various systems:
" When we turn to the particulars of tho
working of their system, the first object
which strikes us is, undoubtedly, tho larcro
sums devoted in every country to the support
of military pupils, a point distinct from
the mere fact of a large expenditure 011 education.
We have endeavored to bring out,
in our general outline, the strong contrast
presented between the principle 011 which
support is given in France, on the one hand
and in Prussia and Austria on the other.?
In France no qualification is either required
or allowed for admission to a military school,
except the ability of the candidate as shown
in the competitive entrance examination,
and this once secured, every student is entilled
to entire or partial support from the
State, in proportion to his want of means to
support himself. In Austria and Prussia
an almost entirely opposite system is adopted.
llore the merits of the father toward
his country are the measure of the claims
of his soon, and according to the di fie rent
proportions or nature of their parents' services
(accurately drawn out) tlio sons of f
military ofllccrs and other State servants
have the first claim to admission, and to the
free or semi-free places iu the military acad- ,
eraies." ,
It is thus apparent that in Austria and i
Prussia the system is aristocratic, while in .
Franco it is democratic ; but the Commis- .
eioners observe that both tend to introduce ,
talent and energy into the army. They .
add: |
M In France free courses at the Polyteeli- I
nic School and at the St. Cyr are given to I
nearly one-third of the pupils, and the whole ?
amount of money thus spent may be reck- i
oned at little less than ?40,000 a year; in I
Tl tr. t ...
j. russia, ivuig's cadetsliips cost about ?15,- i
000; and iu Austria, ?47,000 a year are '
devoted to the education of officers alone, i
while, it' we take Into account the very cave- i
ful training of non-commissioned officers, 1
(the most striking point in the Austrian ]
system,) the free, or partially free, cxhibi- s
tlons will amount to an expenditure of more I
than ?100,000 a year. An analogy forces I
itself upon our attention. In countries I
where the anny is regarded as the mostiiu- <
portant of all institutions, it is obviously <
considered desirable that die same assistance I
should be given toward supplying its picked <
officers with a sound military education, I
which in Englaud has been heretofore only i
dp.votf*! nt 4l?rt '
... ui.ii domes to me civil pro- i
fessious."
In every foreign country which the Com- 1
roiasioners visited they found that this rule 1
prevailed : The entrance to the stuff school, <
the pre-reqnisite to entrance Into the gener- 1
nl staff, is gained l>y competition. In all
these schools the education is solid and ex- *
tensive; and everywhere the pupil's entrance 1
into the staff is gained by his distinction at '
the school. In Frauce and Prussia a sound :
ordinary education up to the age of sixteen 1
or seventeen js innde Uie foundation upon '

PREJUDICES OF FARMERS.
"BOOK KAHMINO."
While a want of suitable educational facilities
and advantages is sensibly felt, there
are other evils in the land which retard tho
intellectual and physical improvement of the
country, and impair its productive capacity ;
among which is one that farmers possess in
a remarkable degree, prejudice. Prejudice
in favor of old ways and plans of farming?
of old implements?old, standard, superannuated
notions?old lunar, and equally ridiculous
kindred influences?ai\jl bitter, unyielding
prejudice against science as applied
to their business?a<rainst the Leacliimra nf
- a- ?
well-conducted experiments?against agricultural
books and newspapers?against everything
in line, that is written or printed,
and which may be included in the very odious,
yet comprehensive term of " IJook Far- j
ming." Unfortunately, we have a class j
among us, who imagine that all knowledge
necessary fur conducting farming operations
is intuitive?the gift of nature. They not'
only disregard agricultural information, as
derived from other sourc s, but they sneer
at and deride those who have wisdom enough
to avail themselves of its advantages.
Why should this billcr, senseless, and uncompromising
warfare be continued against
" IJook Farming ?" What is it, after all, but

processes, conducted by their own practical
hands, observed by their own critical
eyes ? Are those who have such a holy horror
of " book farming," so profoundly wise
that they understand all the laws and all the
mysteries of vegetable life ? Do they understand
all the properties and uses of the various
gases, and other elements lloating
iround ami about us? Do they know in
what vegetables they are most required ??
L>o they understand how, and with what
substances these gases can be most readily

[he other mysterious agencies by which they
sail use all the other means and advantages
which are spread out in such profusion before
them ? Is there nothing hidden in the
]eep arcana of nature which lias uot yet been
"ully unfolded to the. sharp-sighted vision
Mid clear comprehension of these intuitive
tvisc-acrcs ?
I know that some men are always wiso,
ilways infallible, in conducting their operations,
and, consequently, that " experimental
farmers" are not always successful in
making their farming business profitable.
Hut, pray, how does that unfavorably effect
uither you or inc ? The knowledge of a
Failure, in a particular case, under particular
circumstances may be as profitable and as

A railroad train was rushing along at

remittances by a certain day, and, ifihe
sums promised arrived, its credit, its hoior,
and its future prosperity would be preserved.
But week after week elapsed without briiging
the gold. At last came the fatal diy
on which the firm had bills maturing to
enormous amounts. The steamer was tebgraphed
at day break; but it waa tfound
on inquiry that she brought no funds'; anl
the house failed. The next arrival brouglt
nearly half a million to the insolvents, bul
it was too lato; they were ruined because
their agent, in remitting, had been behind
time.
A condemned man was being led out for
execution. He had taken human life, but
under circumstances of the greatest provocation,
and public sympathy was active in
his behalf. Thousands had signed petitions
for a reprieve, a favorable answer had been
expected tho night before, and, though it
had not come, even tho sheriff felt confi
ueiu mat it would yet arrive in season.?
Thus the morning passed without the up
pearance of the messenger. The last moment
was up. The prisoner took his place
on the prop, the cap was drawn over his
eyes, the bolt was drawn, and a lifeless
body swung revolving in iho wind. Just
at that momenta horseman came intosig'it,
gallopping down hill, his steed covered with
foam. He carried a packet in his right
hand, which ho waved partially to ibo

It is continually so in life. The best laid

There are men who always fail in whatever

being brought to a uniform standard of
strength, by the addition of either starch or
pepsin, it is tit for medicinal use, and can
bo taken either in water, or between slices
of bread, or in any ether simple manner.?
These facts arc taken from the communication
of Mr. Boudault to the Imperial Academy
of.Micuie.
Pr. Ballard has introduced Pepsin into
London practice, and mentions some curious
instances of its effect. Among them, the
caso of a lady, sixty-six years old, who, for
lour years una sutieicd terribly after every
meal and became utterly prostrated with
entire loss of appetite. For weeks she had
lived on four rusks u day, with a little milk
and beef-tea. Tho first day she used pepsin,
she ale a mutton chop with enso and
enjoyment?in a few days ate freely without
pain, and gradually recovered so as to
bo able to give up the pepsin entirely.?
From this and other recorded cases, the
pepsin seems not only to he capable of representing
and replacing tho normal gastric
juice of the human bod}', but of restoring
tho lost activity of the secretive powers.

Many years ago tliero was in the eastern
part of Massachusetts a worthy old D. D.,
and although he was an eminently benevolent
man and a good Christum, yet it must
be confessed that he loved a good joke
much better even than tho most inveterate
joker. It was before church organs were
much in use. It so happened that the
thoir of tho church lirVd recently purchased
i double bass viol. Not far from tho
cJiurch was a pasture, and in it a huge town

The doctor paused, louked up at the

" I would thank the musicians not to

The parson paused again and addressed
the clioir :
" I really wish tho singers would not tune
their instruments while I am prcaching, as
I remarked before, for it annoys mo very
much "
The people tittered, for they knew as well
as any one what the real state of tho case
was. The minister went on again with his
discourse, but he had not proceeded far, before
another "Boo-woo-woo," carao from
Mr. Bull.
The parson paused onco more, and again
" I have twice already requested the musicians
in the gallery not to tune their instrument*

requost Mr. Lefavor that ho will
