ten months in the year; possibly

more.
But do not look at the money side,
look at the fitness side. If you become
a skilful teacher people will find 1t
out. Give your days and nights to
advancing in a knowledge OF the
theory and practice of teaching;
make it daily question with your
self, 'Do know more about teach
ing than yesterday" You must,
therefore, keep up continual study
ing; you must assiduously keep up
the daily effort to make your school
room reflect your advancement, your
better comprehension. If your school
room meets your ideal, then you are
richly paid with the s23 per month:
Your school-room is creation Of
your brain; it represents your ideas
of teaching; therefore study that
school-room. You will see its de-
fects; you viii determine TO know
the cause of them; that will bring
YOU round to study Oh eoucallohai
principles.
As a teacher desiring advancement,
you will find immense help by read
ing The Professional Teacher, be-
cause it deals with theoretical peda-
gogy. Its price is 50 cents per year
1t will open before you the principles
of education this is usually an un-
known field of thought.
There is good deal more in this
business of teaching than is generally
supposed. You think, at the outset,
that it is hearing lessons in arlthme-
tie, reading, etc. AS you advance
further you find it is character build
ing. This requires trained powers
of mind; the little lesson-hearlng
business does not fill the bill. Con-
slider where you stand.

A Young Lady's Rules.

The following rules OF conduct fell
out of the pocket-book of a young
lady and an unscrupulous newspaper
reporter picked them up, says the
Paducah Standard:
/. / don't let man smoke when
he walks or drives with me. If he
knows no better than to do 1t, /
promptly tell him what | think OF it.
>. don't give my photograp ph to
men. used to occasionally, but /
am wiser now. l should hate by
and-by to know that my face might
be hanging up in Tom, Dick or
Harry's room.
3. don't let a man take my arm
when he walks with me. II he does,
tell him l prefer him to give me
his arm
l. don't 90 ou, with man
friend just because he asks me. /
ike it better if he asks another lady
to 90 too-his sister for instance.
5. I don't let any man ''see me
home" from church Ii he hasn't
gumption enough to take me there
and sit through the services with me,
he may stay away altogether.
6. / don't let man friend give me
presents unless it is something OF a
trihing cost, like fruit or flowers.
And | always gauge man by his
taste in this respect.
:. I don't encourage any young
man who is not perfectly polite and
agreeable to M mother. Whoever
calls upon me sees a great deal OF
her
8. don't allow a caller to stay
later than 10 O'Clock. Ii he does
not 90 at that tine, | politely tel
him my custom.

aim by the torchlighc and fred. The
shining eyes disappeared, but the
cat did not fall. Soon we heard
something falling on the leaves, which
our hunters at once declared to be
blood, and so it proved to be, for in
about FIVE minutes our game came
tumbling down and struck the ground
heavily. All rushed up to see what
sort of game we had. 1t proved to
be only medium sized cat. 1t was
the first one had ever seen. Its
long, agile looking body was covered
with thick coat of yellow and white
fur, with now and then black spot.
The legs were short and heavy, with
large feet, armed by long, powerful
claws. The head was large and
round, like that of an ordinary house
cat. His bristling "moustache" added
great deal to the look of feroclty
which pervaded his catship's "fea-
lures" The greatest dissimi!arity
observed between a wildcat and a
house-cat, or estabby cat" as our
hunters called them, except in size,
was the extreme brevity OF the for
mer's tail. After flaying our cat, the
skin being ali that is worth preserv-
ing, the horn was blown and off we
started again.
The next trail we struck was after
about half an hours travel and the
hounds dashed away again. We
followed as fast as we could, keeping
on the highest peaks as much as pos
sible, SO as to keep within hearing of
the dogs. Perhaps an hour passed
before the dogs "treed' again. This
time it proved to be an immense cata-
mount, which is simply large spe-
cies of wildcat. He was as large
as an ordinary dog, with yellow fur.
He was sitting on a limb about
twenty feet high, and growing VI
ciously. Our gunner again raised his
piece and with the report of the gun
the cat dropped lifeless to the ground
All hands being wearied we de-
cided to make back toward our horses
and return, as we had several miles
to travel back home, which We reached

The wonders achieved at the Worlds

the world began. Men and machinery

iicent and astounding. No less than tif-
teen thousand individual workers are
employed in putting on the finishing
touches this week, and money has been
poured out like water to secure the real

regard the Worlds Fair stands unap-
proachable by any similar enterprise IN
the past. There has already bee- raised
for the fair the enormous sum OF So, ,243,

General Davis to the National Worlds
Fair COMMISSIONS sum equal, In al
probability, to the combined cost Of al
previous international exhibitions.

Mr.. Gladstone. ~ one OF his chats with
Chauncy NJ Depew, said that he was IN
clined to tie belief that all in allperhaps
the rrea.est man since Marti.t Luther
was George Washington, and the great
English statesman went on to explain
what he meant by this Characterization.
He did not regard Washington as intel
lectually possessed of such genius as any
one of half dozen men whom he couic
name. His military genius is undisputed,
although, OF course, it is hardly fair to
compare it with that displayed by John
Churchill or Napoleon or Wellington.
Judged simply by results, it was as great
as the victories of any of these men.
since it led to the establishment of ma
ton destined to be pre-eminent in the
nations of the world.

She Haunted herself in the highest places,
Airing her charms and showing aer
graces;
She flattered the young and petted the
old,
Poured wine as water and lavished her
gold,
Gave music its liberty, wit its way,
And lent her beauty to dance and play.
She said that virtue was worldly loss,
AS she scoffed the church and sneered
the cross;
Her creed was lust and her faith was
froth.
I asked her name-for my soul was
wroth-
But they said: ITO know her is even a
shame.
For her father is Satan and Sin is her

mas reached the city, and E. w. Harper,
OF Terre Haute, Indiana, will bring the
recent decision OF Judge Kicks in the
famous Ann Arbor railroad cases. before
the supreme court, for review. The pro-
ceedingS will be by habeas corpus, to Sc
cure the release of Engineer Lehman. who
is the man convicted under Judge Kicks
rulings and sentenced to prison. 1t is
said that McSSrS Harper and Hurd while
hopeful of securing reversal of the action
of the lower court are not unprepared to
see it confirmed. and in that event they
will at once begin preparing to present
the subject to Congress next fall. Sena
tor CuiIOm said on the floor that it was
the law and not the decision which was
at fault. and that if labor desired re-
lief it would have to appeal to
Congress and have the law changed
rather than appeal to the court The
legal repreSen iativeS of the labor in
tereSts are inclined to share this view, but
they will make this last appeal to the
highest court in the land in order that
the decision may be given a national
character. and thus appeal more strongly
to the next congress.
