Danger of Knowing Too Much.
Let us remember, advises a medical
magazine, that a brain crammed with
a multitude of useless facts may show
tin hrllHantlv on an examination, but
bo bo clogged as to be unable to put
the knowledge to practical use. We
know we are raising the pedagogue's
ire by thus stating that there is such
a thing as too much knowledge, but as
a fact the world's work is being done
by specialists who are densely ignorant
of everything outside their respective
narrow spheres?and of many
things inside, too.
Retort Courteous.
"My son Willie tells me that you
threatened to box his ears yesterday,
Miss Tooter," said the irate parent,
calling upon the school mistress, "and
' I have come in to say to you that if
you ever?" "Don't worry, Mr. Marrowfat,"
said Miss Tooter, graciously,
i "I'm not at all likely to do it. The jan;
itor has been through all the departj
ment stores in town, and he can't find
j a box big enough for the purpose."?
