tact the Pilsener which is exported is
brewed specially for the ''exotic" taste
as they style it's stronger in alco-
hol. but not nearly so mildly exhilarat-
as the home brew.
Among the unpleasant features of
the Prague of to-day is the combative,
pugilistic, unamiable character it's
population has developed. as con-
sequence of the twenty years strife
that has been going on between the
two elements-the Czech and the Ger
man. After having their national Czech
aspirations suppressed for two hundred
and fifty years, the re Faction has been
particularly violens one, and now they
want to "Czechisize" everything and
everybody, as under the former regime
they were Germanized. Czech Is a
language which, after all, is spoken
by but five million persons all told
including the Czech of Moravia, of
Silesia and those who have emigrated
to America, Russia, etc. Common
sense ought to tell the Czech that it is
futile to expect the rest of the world
to learn a language so excessively diff
cult and of SO little practical or aesthet-
ic rise as his.
But the fact is that the Czech In
Prague expects every stranger, every
body he meets in the street, to know
and talk his language, and he gets
actually mad when a stranger accosts
him in any other tongue-French, Eng
fish, German, or anything else except
ing Russian. When he hears Russian
he smiles and bows, for he is now a
part Russophite. Everything is now
Czech-from the bill of fare to the
street signs-the eye sees nothing but
the queer triangular accents and the
apparently unpronounceable combina-
tious of consonants without vowels.
The latter, am told by an expert, are
inserted Ia the pronunciation, accord
ing to certain complicated rules, and
when correctly pronounced | found
these same words quite bearable to the
sense of hearing.
Then the animosity and struggle for
national supremacy that has been and
is going on in Prague between the Ger.
man population still a very respectable
minority, and forming the bulk of the
wealthy merchants, of the artists, lit
erary circles, etc.-and the ambitious
Czechs creeps into every relation of life
there, and makes things in general
very uncomfortable. 1t sounds almost
incredible, for instance, but is fact,
that stranger of distinction reaching
Prague is at once forced to take sides
in this interneciue quarrel; he Is put
down as a friend of the Czech or of
the German, according to the particu-
lar hotel he stops at
II he happens to visit the German
opera in town, possibly because he I'M
derstands 1t or because it is really bet
ter than the Slavic performances, he
risks having the window panes in his
room smashed by an enthusiastic
young Czech" In short, the nation
alistic war there has been carried to
such point that It's very extremeness
must bring change pretty soon.
In all other respects, however,
Prague is worth visiting, for it is one
of the most interesting cities of
Europe. AS landmark, for instance,
the old Jewish cemetery and syna-
gogue ought to be seen. The cemetery

THE LONE WOMAN.
A Source of Comfort to Those Who Are In
Trouble


The CHEEKY single woman has her
work in her home as long as that
blessing Is spared to her, and when
she is left without near and dear ones
she finds that she can be comfort to
others and do good service in various
helpful ways-social, personal and
charitable. Mothers soon learn that
she is one of their faithful aids and
proud of the title of parents assist
ant. Little children love her. as she
enters into their amusements and SYM
pathizes with their small griefs, frol-
licking as merrily as the gayest sprite
among them. and always ready to
bind up the wounded heart or the cut
finger. Young men and maidens con-
fide their petty secrets to her discre-
ton, and older people enjoy the deli
cate attentions she delights 10 bestow.
Should work be a stern necessity of
this spinster's life, she must often find
herself overweighted with cares and
anxieties; but, to her credit be it said.
there is almost never the inclination
to indulge in vain and useless repin-
ings Thus the real lone woman is
not the one who persistently and cheer
fully conquers the difficulties of a soli-
tery life, meeting it's trials with dis
arming smile, and guarding herself
against falling into that ineffably
dreary state which is meant by the
designation; nor is il she who, debarred
from all activity by i'll health. pos
sesses in perfection the rare art of self
effacement, and who TRANQUILITY and
deity fits herself to her perpetual
maidenhood. "-Harper's Bazar

THE OLD BRIDGE GATE AND BRIDGE AT PRAGUE

lent breath and hooked nose. So are
the churches with their wealth of jew
ei-studded saints and their sticky at
mosphere of frankincense. All this
and much more is still to be seen and
admired in the Prague of to-day, but
that is but small kernel, whereas the
Gordon on Gordon of new, wide and hand
somely appearing streets and avenues
that surround this small center give the
city as whole vastly different look
that of an entirely new and progress
sive one. Indeed, il Is no exaggeration
10 say that the political reawakening
Of Prague has, just as it did in Buda-
pest, transformed the town into a new
one. much larger, finer and modern in
every respect.
IL Is evidently not accident that the
Czech delegates in the reichsrath are
acting all along as the leaven In
Austria's moldy politics, as the fer
menting spirit that will finally burst
the present bounds of that queerly
composite monarchy. For the Praguer
OF today Is an aggressively positive
fellow, with no respect for what has
BEEN. And this has its plea ant fea-
lures as well as its unpleasant ones.
Among the pleasant features are
such requirements as i have men,
toned before. and to which must be
added gas, electric light, increase In
wealth and a decided Improvement in
the general scale of living. Thirty
years ago a mechanic or laborer in
Prague did not dream of living in
three or four-room fat, nor of eating a
good-sized piece of meat every day.
But he has all this now. The waiter
in the beer garden Is no longer salts
fied-as he was then with "trink
geld" of two kreutzer tone cent?; he
now wants FIVE or ten. Wages have
risen from one hundred to one hundred
and City per cent, aud living is no
longer cheap and frugal, as IL used to
be- Commerce has been spread by
Prague all over the empire, and il
reaches ia some branches as far as
Berlin. Moscow, Constantinople, while
the unexcelled Pilsen beer is still as
good as of yore. but it is now sent d.
rect as far as Australia in one direc-
ton and as far as Chilli ard Persia in
others.

serve a chapter of its own. But suffice

though looking back upon a past that
loses itself in the midst of prehistoric
times, the population of the town num-
bered little over 100000. German was
the dominant tongue-German signs

The School for Farmers Boys.

The school that the farmer should
send his boys to. if he desires them TO
inherit his acres and keep his home
stead, Is where his boy can be taught
agriculture pure and undefiled in all
its branches, and the school that gives
employment TO teachers that have good
practical, agricultural sense, instead
of theoretical agricultural nonsense.
The great trouble in many schools
where agricultural science is taught 5
that the teachers are not practical
men. Too many of them If given a
hundred acres of the best land in the
state, fully equipped with live stock
and farming utensils could uotrun the
business five years without putting a
mortgage on the farm Therein Is
where much Of the trouble lies in the
present day in the education of the

kind that educates him off the farm in
