HIGHER EDUCATION.

If the reader should chance to see a small boy cavorting round as though fighting bumblebees, armed with a stick to which is attached a misquito bar trailer two feet long, and a glass can straped to his person in the region of the bread basket, don’t get excited, for he is perfectly sane. He is studing nature after the most improved fashion, and according to the latest fad obtainable. After catching a few bugs, grasshoppers and butterflies, he is given a talk on the subject which is calculated to prepare his mind for the reception of all the weightier affairs of life. After a little of this work exegesis becomes easy, and the higher criticism a pasttime.
