TWO MEN HATERS.
The Story of Two Women Who Had
and Have No Love for
Men.

anu nave NO Love ZOE
Men.
From the Chicago Chronicle.
The death Of the Newman. ILL.,. man
hater on December 6 has again attracted
attention to Indiana's man-hater, who re-
sides south of Kokomo on the Howard
Upton county line. She has been n man
hater for thirty years and has lived the
in love forty years ago. she says she has
never spoken to a man. She Is seldom seen
in town and her trading is always done
with women clerks. She has made a Will
and purchased a cemetery lot. Explicit
instructions have been given that no man
shall preach her funeral sermon or act as
a pallbearer. A woman Is to offer prayer
at the grave. women shall drive the hearse,
shall lower her to her last resting place and
expense which will be incurred by her
demise.
The Newman. ILL.,. woman had a better
record than the Indiana woman. She had
got along forty-eight years without the
aid of men, had accumulated a little money
and provided for the expenses of her burial.
1t Is claimed that she was originally q
accomplished and attracted a great deal Of
attention. She fell in love when she was
young and was disappointed She was
strong minded and forever was soured on
the male sex. She claimed that she had not
spoken to a man, except on most urgent
provocation. in the last twenty years. She
lived alone in n little house and courted
solitude. She was very cheerful by herself
and when women called she entertained
always barred against the intrusion of the
male sex.

TEACHERS ON A WRONG TACK.
All Hope for n PednEoEics on Basis
of Exact Psychology an
Illusion.

The teachers of this country instinctively
feel, says Professor Hugo Munsterberg in
the February Atlantic, that the educational
system is still far from having reached its
ideal shape. Much has to be improved.
and as they are serious and conscientious
workers, they stand on the outlook for new
schemes and new ideas. There came a
new science into the field-experimentaI
psychology. And experimental psychology
said, in Sunday newspapers and ewner
with loud voice: Teachers, the thing Won
lack Is a scientific knowledge of the child's
mind. How can you hope for a solid ped
agogical system if it is not built up on
the basis of a solid psychology? The old
psychology was of no help to you. The old
ophers and ministers. filled with lazy self
observation. There was no exact measur-
ing in it. The end. of the century, our
time of technics and inventions. needs an
by our new laboratory methods. Come and
measure there the psychical facts. and the
new era of exact treatment of the child's
mind on the basis of an exact knowledge
of mind by accurate measurements will be-
gin.
Is it surprising that there began a great
rush for the benefactions of experimental
psychology, that the laboratories have be-
experimenting with children has become
the teachers sport. and that CONTEMPT for
the poor old psychology which did not
measure has become the symbol of the ris-
but it is deplorable.. And if this movement
deserves to be stopped. some little advan-
tage may be gained, perhaps, If the teach
ers begin to understand that those hopes
are on n wrong tack that no laboratory
and no experiment can ever measure a psy-
chical fact, and that all hope for a ned
aSogics on the basis of a automatically
exact psychology is and will be a perfect

GHOST AFFECTS A SALE.
Costly House ut Buffalo, n. u, Goes
Cheap II Was
Haunted.

It has leaked out that Buffalo has .
ghost, and a most remarkable one. being
that of no less a person than the late
Harry H. Koch, an upright business man
of this city, whose rotund form did not
suggest spooks. though he was IN the shoe
trade and was once sheriff of Erie county.
in either of which callings he must have
heard a great many genuine ghost stories.
Ex-Sheriff Koch hanged himself a dozen
years ago in his costly house on Delaware
avenue. but the story Of his ghost did not
become public property till the other day.
The old Koch homestead in the avenue had
been sold by order of court to settle tho
estate, and some of the interested persons
demurrsd because it had been allowed to go
SO cheap.
Tho Judge replied. by way of excusing
himself from possible blame. that 1t had
been necessary to sell it under price. He
said that the house had the name Of be-
ing haunted. So many people had declared
that they had seen the former proprietor
wandering about the rooms since his death
that it had been found impossible to OBJ
tain a high price for it, In spite Of its
great cost and its location in the wealth.

There was no further objection. and
the property was allowed to go. ghost and

any day develop a situation fraught with
momentous dangers. when the known facts
and the position of affairs are analysed
there is really not much reason at the
of the crisis will be found in a resort to
war. There is reason to believe that diplo-
matte circles do not fear that 1t will be
necessary to appeal to arms unless Japan
breaks from her members. So far as the
European powers are concerned, the diplo-
mats throughout are satlsfled That the
Chinese will not break the peace OF the
world, but they have always feared that
Japan will prove a firebrand. Unless she
can be restrained from impetuous action,
the departure of her fleet from Yokohama
to-day for Chinese waters may prove to
be the striking of the match which may
lead to a decided confagration.
Leaving out the possibility of war, the
diplomatic game is mos. interesting. The
MARQUIS of Salisbury is slow in playing
his trrmps: but unless Russia and France
have something up their sleeves 1t would

er saying that the Democrats ought to get
something out of the deal, he asserts that
six of the present state officers come from

state line. that the other two are from
Central Kansas and that Western Kansas
is totally ignored. He thinks that the de-
sire for party success will prevail and
overcome the office holding desire of State

Morris, so that room will be made for two
Western Kansas Democrats.

Polarity and Railroad Iron.

From T1t-Eits.
professor Berton has Just published an
interesting collection of statistics which
prove the influence that magnetism is ex-
ertirg in producing. phenomena, which
otherwise would be ineXplicable. Among
other things, he shows that in making a
railroad running east and west. as many as
thirteen steel rails will become crystallized
and break, before one rail on a north and
south track is similarly affected. This
is due to the generation of magnetism by
friction, and to the fact that in the former
instance the polarity of magnetic current
is resisted in the rush of the train: where
as, in the latter case it is undisturbed.

number of cases segregated is decreasing
yearly, while the thoroughness of examin-
alton to discover these cases Is increasing.
1t is a matter of fact that within the last
two years but eight foreigners have be-
