teachers be employed in order that
this trouble may be avoided. and al
though the expense will be much
greater, this may be done. The State
superintendent has on file letters from
over 800 women who are DESTROYS of
obtaining positions in Idaho, and he
is inclined to believe that about FIVE
sixths OF the applicants, having heard
OF ldaho's fame as a matrimonial field,
are more anxious to go there in search
OF a rich husband than to instruct the
hardy youth of the State. Ii any
more wonen are employed this year
they will be compelled to sign an iron
bound contract not to marry during
the school terms, and generous share
OF their salary will be retained as a
security.
Outdoor Life for City Children.
AT first it was the boys who exhib-
tied the good effects of the social
revolution. Time was, and not very
long ago, when the sturdy boys of the
metropolis were found in the greatest
numbers in the public schools and the
districts inhabited by persons in mid
ding circumstances. The boys in the
well-to-do families were apt to be
spare, narrow-chested, and OF such ap-
pearance that the more rugged city
children called them by contemptuous
nicknames, all implying that they
were girilsh. Such puny lads are not
now anything like being numerous
enough to represent q class. The
once derided mothers apronstrings"
have been woven into tennis nets, and
the hands of the "girl-boys" now grip
baseball and cricket bats, Three
months of country life with ''citv i'm
provements," and nine months OF
cycling, boxing, sprinting, and gym
n~astics, have given them muscle and
lungs, until the juvenile crowd in
town accept it as an axiom that a
well-dressed lad is worth avoiding
when persecution or mischief is in
tended.
The girls, too, are obviously a bet
ter sort; not better than their mothers
were, necessarily, for New York is
forever freshened and strengthened by
country bred men, who draw in coun-
try bred women for their wives, But
the born city girls are distinctly finer
women than born city girls used to be.
The very boyish boys, of the age
when boys are apt to be an all sufi-
cient sex unto themselves, no longer
avoid the girls, who now have their
parts and places in the sports and
games of the courts and fields. Base
ball and cricket are of the masculine
gender still, but golf and tennis, boat
ing, riding and driving, are all the
enjoyment of both sexes. The girls
have borrowed part of the boyish
equipment in these days. They have
muscles. They wear loose and easy
clothing, and they swing along with
an athletic animal movement that
would have been called very ungen-
teel in their mothers If their mothers
could have initiated it. Men OF coun-
try birth see that their country bred
wives are reproduced in their town
bred daughters, and city men by the
seaside note that their little girls are
as ruddy and brown and vigorous and
physically capable as the country
children of the neighborhood. Thus
much of the children; they have had
the longest holidaying.- Haaper's

Faith Cure.
The news that Lourdes is more
crowded than eve this year with
pious pilgrims of every degree and
rank, from royality-in the persons of
the Bourbon and Braganza Princes
and Princesses, a~ristocracy in that of
the Duke of Norfolk, with his blind,
deaf. dumb and imbecile son., the Earl
OF Surrey-down to the humblest
peasant, recalls the fact that the cura-
tive virtues now ascribed to Our Lady
OF Lourdes were down to the Begin
ming Of the reign of Queen Victoria at
tributed to the monarchs of the old
world.
Styled the Amounted of the Lord"
convinced that they held their thrones
not by popular will but by divine
right, and officially described both by
their spiritual and temporal advisers
as cousins of the Almighty, it is not
astonishing that they should have be-
lieved themselves endowed with these
miraculous powers of healing the sick
by their mere touch, which we read
of in the Bible as having belonged to
the founder of Christianity and to his
apostolic contemporaries.
King Charles x, who assembled to
the throne in 1926, was the last mon
arch to claim these powers in France.
On the day after his coronation in the
ancient Cathedral of Rheims, he paid
a state visit sto the hospital of st.
Marcoul where he laid his royal shand
on 1926 patients suffering from scrofula
and other kindred maladies.
Every year a~fterward, until his
~abdication in 1880, he went through a
similar performance on the day of
st. Louis.
An aged relative of mine connected
in her youth with the French court
was present at the ceremony ON st.
Louis day in 1899, and used to be
fond of relating to me this quaint sur
vlval of medieval times.
