Do Philadelphia Girls Toe In?

Don't ask me why three-fourths Of Phila-
delphias handsome women and pretty girls
turn their toes in when they walk along the
streets or promenade in the brilliantly lighted
ball rooms," said a well known Chestnut
street shoe dealer.
''It's something can't understand" con-
tinued the knight of Crispin, this strange
mixing up of female feet. Now, what looks
more awkward than to see one of our famed
beauties waddling along the street like duck
out of water? It was not intended that way
A handsome woman is always picture, but
to turn her toes in when she walks-ohI" and
the shoemaker sighed like bellows.
1T is surprising how this habit has grown.
Seems to me nearly all the women and girls
you see, particularly well dressed young
girls, walk toes in. There ought to be law
against it. Philadelphia Inquirer.

Talk While Eating.

Talk and be merry while you eat. Talking
while eating will naturally necessitate eating
more slowly. The children need not expect
to nonopolize all the time at table with their
ta,k, but if they dine alone let them tell their
own little experiences and laugh over their
own adventures. If they dine with their
elders it might be well for papa and mamma
to address some Of their conversation to the
children. This not only aids in digestion of
the meal, but aids the little ones in becoming
self possessed and self reliant.-Dora Harvey
Vrooman in Philadelphia Press.

How AND WHEN TO Sow, are ques-
tions of Importance. In answer to
the first, l say emphatically, with the
drill. There seems occasionally a
disposition to get back to the old
methods, and because during some of
the years OF bountiful yields when
every thing was favorable there have
been heavy crops grown by broad
cast sowing, some farmers are advo-
eating that we throw aside the drill
and go back to the old method.
Should any do so, I think little ex-
perience in bad seasons would con-
vince them of their mistake In the
fall of 1882 I drilled in a field and
left strip two rods wide at one side
with which to experiment. with differ
ent amounts OF seed per acre, and
these experimental plots l sowed
broadcast. The winter proved a
very hard one, the cold being excess
sive, and March gave cold nights
and thawing days, and my broad
cast wheat was entirely killed, while
the drilled wheat made a half crop.
The advantages OF drilling are, even
seeding at uniform depth, and the
protection afforded the plant by the
ridges between the rows, which not
only protect from the wind, but also
crumble and protect the roots during
the freezing and thawing OF winter.
Isometimes see a recommendation to
roll wheat after drilling l think
that rolling would largely defeat one
object OF drilling and that the wheat
would be much more liable to be
frozen out than if the land was left in
the ridges by the drill.
THICK OR Thin SEEDING is a matter
in which 1 have felt a deep interest
and have experimental on to some
extent. My experiments have all
been with Fultz wheat (Which is
small grained Variety, and have led
ME to believe that three pecks Of seed
will produce all the wheat the land
is capable OF bearing. In 1877 1
sowed two adjoining acres in wheat,
using half bushel of seed on one
acre and a bushel on the other.
There was a perceptible difference in
the appearance of the two plots
during the first two or three weeks,
butless as the wheat began to stool,
and in the spring could see no differ
ence. At harvest there were fifty y-two
shocks on one acre, and fifty-three on
the other, and the product was
seventy bushels from the two acres.
In 1878 I sowed six acres with three
pecks of seed to the acre, and har-
vested thirty bushels to the acre.
Careful experiments at the expert
mental farm at Columbus have
shown, however, the largest yield
from comparatively heavy seeding.

tine IN which the excursion tickets may be
used. The Centennial viii so far exceed every
previous enterprise in the way Of celebration
In the United States that the railroads might
well afford TO transcend al previous generosity
So broad and big an affair should be treated on
the broadcast and biggest scale by every one
concerned. Unless the transportation lines are
liberal and condderate in this matter the Cen
tennial celebration will result in deplorable
losses to the great retail dealers Of New-York.
II excursion rates are to be maintained so short
a time that visitors will simply be rushed into

during the several days following business mon
cannot obtain the patronage Of visitors to the
metropolis, they will regret that the Centennial
has ever been undertaken. We recognize with
gratitude what the railroads have already grant
ed. They deserve to be commended for what
they have done; but they ought to consider
carefully il it will not be to their own profit
to heed the appeals of the citizens of New York
and do still more.

PRINCE BIsMARoRS NEW ORDERS

PRINCE BISMARCK'S NEW OhDEhS.
Prince Bismarck shows signs of Cancellation
in his dealings with Samoa. His order defining
the responsibilities, Of naval commanders and
consular authorities strikes at one Of the chief
sources of trouble in the affairs OF the islands.
He censures Consul Knappe for acting without
authority last December, and holds him re-
sponsible for the deplorable consequences OF
an iIl-conceiyed and unjustifable attempt to
secure German supremacy. He directs naval
commanders to examine for themselves the
grounds for any request which may be made
by consul for their intervention, and not to
comply with it unless special authority from
the German Foreign Office is produced. These
are most judicious instructions. Prince Bis
marck's own comments on Consul knappe's
proceedings, in consequence of which, fight
with the natives was brought on and Germany's
relations with the United States were disturbed,
demonstrate the necessity for more rigorous
control of the Foreign Office over its repre-
sentatiyes abroad than has recently been exer-
cised in Samoa. II his instructions are TO be
interpreted fairly he intends to prevent in
future unwarrantable assumption Of authority
on the part of German conSuls and naval CON-
manders. This declaration will tend to promote
the chances OF pacific settlement Of the Sa-
mean complications at the Berlin Conference.
What Amesicans have wanted is this assurance
that German officials in the South Seas will not
be allowed TO act without authority from the
Foreign Office.
1t is perhaps unfortunate that the new Ger
man Consul at Samoa is Steubel, who took a
prominent part in the operations against King
Malietoa in 1887. But it is most reassuring to
find that he has been warned in explicit terms
By Prince Bismarck against independent action
and unwarantable proceedings. II he follows
his instructions the United States Government
viii not have disagreeable surprises in store
for IL in Samoa. The Chancellor's declaration
that Germany has nothing to do with the in
ternal affairs OF the islands, but restricts her
mission to the protection of her subjects and
the promotion Of their commercial interests,
was frequently set forth in the correspondence
with Secretary Bayard II is repeated now
under circumstances which tend to emphasize
IT. The American Government can have no
other policy than this In relation to Samoa. 1t
ought not to be difficult to effect an adjustment
TOT the complications on this common basis.
II the activity Of the consular authorities can
be kept under restraint, convention of the

pnUChTT0N IN CONYB CrYCUT

The schooImaster is abroad. Or, at all events,
IL is made clear by the last annual report OF the
Connecticut Board Of Education that he has not
been doing any missionary work in that State OF
late. The report reveals q condition of things
which is calculated 10 sstound the country, and
which cannot fail TO mortify every good and pub
lic-spirited citizen Of Connecticut 1t demon
strates that the country schools utterly fell TO do
the work intrusted TO them. An English humor-
list defined q seminary as a place Where nothing
was half-taugh t-semi-nary But these country
schools do not begin even TO half-teaoh. In one
of the towns Of New-London County, out Of thirty
five children, twenty-five could not write enough
even to make an attempt az an examination, and
OF these twenty-five some were twelve years old
and had attended school from six to eight years.
Nor was this an isolated case. In another school
in the same town four children, aged respectively
ten, eleven, twelve and thirteen, could not make
a single letter. The failure In spelling was still
more marked "Out Of 1927 pupils tested we
quote from an abstract Of the report 1917 mis-
spelled which, coo misspclled whose and 40S
could not spell the Of the town In which they
lived" An examination Ia arithmetic revealed the
fact that thirty-two out OF seventy pupils above
the ago of thirteen were unable 20 do a sum In
simple addition. or thirteen pupils in another
school only one got the right answer to sum
which required the addition Of six small numbers.
II Is evident that the report hns produced
profound sensation In Connecticut All the lad
ing newspapers are discussing II, and suggesting
how best the present shameful condition OF things
can be reformed. II seems generally TO be con-
oeded that New-London County forthwith should
be furnished with a good normal school for the
training OF competent teachers. 1t is argued in
some quarters with good deal Of emphasis that
IL is idle 10 expect 10 rinse the standard Of IN
stsuction throughout the country districts unless
the salaries paid the teachers are also raised Some
of the newspapers are incliOed TO think that the
country districts would be better of II they should
be deprived Of State aid. and compelled 10 rely
upon their own resources FOR the support Of their
schools.
The main point Is that pubic sentiment has be-
come aroused And while there is Disagreement
10 regard TO what ought 10 be DONE It is unan-
imously admitted that something radical must be
done without delay.

APPEALING no THE BAILRoADS

Many Of the most enterprising and public
spirited citizens Of New-Yor are extremely
anxious that the railroads shall extend still
further the time in which the excursion tickets
for visitors to the Centennial celebration In the
metropolis shall be available They offer many
good reasons in support of their request; but
the strongest Of these appears to be the fact
that the affair is assuming such prodigious pro
portions that the railroads viii not be able to
handle the enormous crowds that will seek the
city with any convenience or comfort In the
time now limited. The Dimensions Of this
mighty enterprise have been expanding from
day to day. A host far greater than has yet
been gathered at any one time in any one place
in the history Of this country is sure to as
semble in the chief city Of America. For their
own interests and their own advantages, as well
as for the sake of the huge armies Of passengers
that they will transport, the railroads should
be as openhanded in the opportunities which
they offer as even the most exacting may ask.
AT many previous calculations In this country
Of one sort and another the railroads have been
