PENSIONS FOR WOMEN
 SCHOOL TEACHERS

A woman who adopts teaching as her life work IS practically de- barred from marriage under peril of losing her position. Denied her right to fulfill her destiny by this unpleasant alternative, with earnings insufficient to enable her to accumulate for her future mainte- nance, what sha'l she do in that dismal tomorrow that must find her aged, penniless, and childless? Her married sisters have grown-up sons and daughters Ito be leant on ana walked with, but she is alone and poor. Since the public demands celibacy of it's female teachers, and not of it's male teachers, and the former are deprived of the natural protectors that insure other women and men against neglect in their old age, the public should make it up to women teachers in pensions or higher salaries, higher even than are paid to men, in order that these single women may them selves provide for their lonely old age. This view is pot so absurd as custom misleads people to think. German writers express surprise at the numerical disparity between male and female teachers in Ameri- can schools, but note that the States having preponderance of male teachers in America are not those which have the most effective ednea- tional system. They cite Arkansas, with 685 percent. of male teachers, as being far behind Massachusetts, with 909l per cent. of female teachers. Dr. 5chlee accepts as 8 general truth that 'sthe further the American school system develops the more the female teachers pre- dominate. President Warren of Boston University remarks: If this be true it may quite possibly have a sociological and pedagogical significance not yet generally reeog- nized.

BASE BALL.

MT. H. H. Edwards, of Little Rock, is making an effort 10 organ ize State Base Ball League. His plan is to take in the cities of Little Rock, Pine Bluff, Hot Springs and Fort Smith, and furnish ball games in the cities aforesaid at the popular admission price of % cents. MT. Edwards outlines his plan as follows:
 tThe cities of Fort Smith, Pine Bluff, Hot Springs and Little Rock each place to solicit 100 persons to pay $5 each, and to receive in re- turn tickets (transferable) to the amount subscf ibed. It would just amount to them paying in advance.
 As you know, times are hard and there are plenty of ball players out of jobs. l don't think it would be any trouble to sign d team for a very small salary. Say play one week in Hot Springs and one week in Little Rock and then in Pine Bluff and Fort Smith every alternate week, thus giving each town base ball every other week..
 The general admission should be 25 cents, and grand stands 25 cents with free ladies day twice each week, one for each series of games,
 If the Pine. Bluff base ball enthu siasts want to indulge their sport ing proclivities during the dull sum mer months, here's their opportuni fu

Ex-Gov. WAITE, of Colorado, who

Ex-Gov. WAITE, of Colorado, who gained some notoriety year or so ago by his fiery utterances on public questions, has given up politics.
 T am through with politics. The Lord may do something for this country, but 1 don't know when or how" Thus spoke the ex-governor in an interview.
 sI have lost faith" continued the Governor, in the belief that parti san politics can bring about any remedy for the ills from which the country is suffering"
 And this is the man who was determined to revolutionize things in this country year or so agU, says the Arkansas Democrat in com menting on the above. Bloody Bride Bits Waite has realized the truth of the proverb that 'all is vanity and vexation of spirit, and in his case he applies it properly. The Lord wlll do something for this country in His own good time and pleasure, but He will not do so through the instrumentality of such men as Waite.

An interesting experiment is being
made in township in Northern Ohio,
which involves the abolition of the old
district school. Instead of having
numerous such schools scattered over
the country, one big schoolhouse has
been built in the centre of the town
ship, and every morning light covered
rigs holding twenty-five persons each
run through the township gathering
up the pupils and taking them to
school, and then, at the close of the
session, returning them to their homes.
By the new arrangement, which works
to perfection, there is a great saving
in fuel and the wear and tear of sever
al buildings, the number of teachers
necessary is reduced, and there is
more interest in school affairs among
the pupils. Another advantage of the
scheme is that the children do not
have to wade to school through the
mud in wet weather and get their feet
wet, making a doctors services neces-
sary. The plan is said to also have
resulted in decrease of taxes.

The legs of insects are peculiarly
adapted to their modes of life. The
water beetles leg is provided with sue
ton disks, which enable him to cling
to anything he touches and to walk
upside down. Ants, beetles and other
insects have small, fine combs on their
legs, which they use simply to brush
off their antenn@. This is what the
common house fly is doing when you
see him rub his legs over the fore part
of his head. The caterpillar is sup
plioa with abdominal legs, which dis
appear when he becomes moth or a
butterfly.
