Like everything else there are fads and
fads. When a fad is in vogue which bears
no resemblance to sense or has any good
foundation, 1t is not worthy of encourage
ment, but the fad that the American peo-
pie at large have possessed themselves Of
at the present time, has indeed a worthy
and great cause as its creator. Who can
but help have their noble sentiments
stirred to their very nights by the war that
is on us now, and by our noble boys who
have gone in defense of our country and
to fight for the cause of humanity and jus
tice. Every good American, be they man.
woman, or child, should not hesitate to
bow to the decree of this fashionable, pa
triotic and up-to-date fad. We have am
ply prepared for the great demands of this
fad and have fun and complete line of
army and navy hat pins. In one design
we show the American shield in colors;
then we have in colors galore, patriotic
ribbons of even kind-Old Glory, Cuban,
National and Cuban and American flags
combined. We have these in part and
all silk aud in the various widths; and now
the very latest of all these fads is the war
ship hat band; il being a black all-silk rib
bon with the name of a warship printed in
gilt letters. 1t makes sailor hat attrac-
tive; it displays your interest in the navy,
and its more patriotic than hip, hip hur-
raging around town. We hope to see all
Savannah people displaying the patriotism
we know they possess by adopting to the
fullest extent this patriotic fad. Krous-

SONS OF VETERANS TO UNITE.
MEETING WILL BE CALLED To
TAKE STEPS THIS WEEK.

The Movement Started by Lafayette
McLaws Camp of Confederate Vet
ernns-FOrmer Attempt to Organ
ize Was ReIinquished-If Formed
the New Organization May Attend
the Atlanta Reunion.
A strong effort is being made to organize
the Confederate Sons of Veterans. A
meeting viii be called by Lafayette Nc
Laws Camp some time this week, TO which
all sons OF veterans will be invited, with
view to outlining plans for perfecting the
organization. The veterans say they have
every reason to believe their efforts win
be successful
This viii not be the first attempt to ge,
the sons together to form an organiza-
ton to carry on the work and perpetuate
the names of the fathers whose service in
the Confederacy is worthy the respect the
sons would thus be showing them. When
the matter came up at the reunion in
Nashville last July, it was thoroughly dis
cussed and it was agreed that an effort
should be made by the various camDs TO
bring about the organization in every
OF the honored old heroes. No plans
seemed to have been formed or suggested
at the time but a large number of camps
are reported to have been organized as a
result OF the request at Nashville.
On their return home the Savannah vet
Grams at once began an agitation Of the
matter, which resulted in the appointment
OF a committee to arrange for a meeting.
FOR some reason, however, the movement
came to standstill and nothing having
peen done, the idea was lost sight Of
The coming convention of the veterans in
Atlanta has revived the determination to
get the sons together, the forward step be-
ing taken by the Lafayette McLaws
camp. Believing one of the best times to
perfect the organization to be Just before
the reunion, it is determined to carry ont
the organization now, and to invite the
newly raised TO attend the reunion. This
will add inspira ton and incite them to
strive laboriously to get every man en-
titled to join.
The call will be issued this week. after
which there viii be a conference as to the
plan of organization. The veterans will
outline plans and advise the sons how to
proceed.

cijed upon.

boys, and thirty-three girls The class IS
an unusually large, as well as an intel
lectual one, and at is probable that a large
number viii successfully pass the final ex-
aminations to be held during the latter
part of next month.
An innovation has been made IN the
manner of holding the examinations for
teachers places in the public schools
heretofore the examinations have been
given during the fan months, but at the
last meeting of the Board of Education
Superintendent Ashmore recommended
that they be held hereafter In June. as this
course wonld give the schools a better on
portunity for making good selections. in
stead of waiting until the fail terms be-
GIN when the best of the applicants would
have accepted positions elsewhere. This
suggestion was adopted by TIE board. and
saturday, June 10. was decided upou ms
the day for holding the examinations for

Women as Teachers,

There are in the United States,
roughly speaking, $4,000 school teach
ers, and of this number 10000 are
men and 100000 are women. In other
words, there are nearly twice as many
female as male teachers, and the dis
parity is increasing year by year. Ac-
cording to the last official census of
Prussia there were $4,000 school teach
ers in the kingdom, of whom 5000 were
women and $4,000 men. 1t Is evident,
therefore, that the Prussian preference
Is for male teachers, and in a way as
marked as Is the American preference
for female teachers. In all Germany
there are, including the Government,
Church, and private schools, $4,000
teachers and the number Of pupils Is
nearly 100000. There are 100000
teachers in France. of whom $4,000 are
men and $4,000 are women, the num-
ber OF each being subject to about tbs
same ratio of increase. There are, it
is supposed, about 100000 teachers In
Great Britain, but authentic figures
are lacking.

HAWAII A TRAMP PARADISE.

Native Trees, Which Can Furnish
Food, Shelter and Drink.
Since the recent agitation Of the Ha-
waiian question in this country Fred.
w. Job, the Hawaiian Consul in Chi
cago, has had innumerable questions
asked him and plans proposed. He
was in his Office the other day when a
man came in who looked little the
worse for the lack of ready money.
The man piled the consul with queries.
First, he wanted to know about the
bread tree.
There is such thing" said Mr.. Job
''and 1t is common in Hawaii. The
tree bears pithy fruit that is pleasant
to the taste and is very nutritious. It
somewhat resembles light bread"
The visitor then said he had heard
Of tree called the travellers tree there
in the country. To this the consul al
so assented. He said the leaves on
this tree grew great deal as on a
palm, and that the hollow between the
leaf and the trunk was filled with wa
ter, sometimes as much as half gal
Ion. The banana tree was the next
topic, and when the stranger learned
that they also grew on the islands he
heaved sigh of relief.
WELL" he said II can get an army
that will beat Coxeys. I'm going to
get gang of my friends and we are
to emigrate to Hawaii Then we are
to transplant some of these trees till
we have one of each near together,
then we will hang hammock and
there we will stay. Nature will fur
nish our food and the climate is such
there that we will need but few clothes,
and what we take with us will last
almost indefinitely, and II we do no
moving about We will not wear them
out"
Mr.. JOB admitted that the man had
an inventive mind, but said that his
plan was hardly feasible, though it
might be carried out to a certain ex-
tent.

A Horse Club.


What's horse club?" asked the
man In the silk hat.
Didn't you ever hear of one?" re-
sponded the man doing the bulk of the
talking.
Il think not. Go ahead and tell
u.s."
well, you know 1t costs more than
good many people want to spend to
keep horse and vehicle, whatever
kind 1t may be. Indeed, in the cities
1t is quite beyond the means of most.
In the smaller towns of the country
1t is more nearly possible, for horse
may be boarded at any country livery
stable for $40 month, and sometimes
even less If done BY the year. But
even in such favorable circumstances
there are many people who don't like
to own a horse and board him at
stable, where he may he badly treated
or he may get sick and die, or keep
him at home, where he is liable to be
worse treated than in livery stable.
That being the case, l know of a
liveryman in one Of the towns I visit,
a place of six thousand inhabitants,
who is enterprising enough to make
the effort to meet the wants of that
kind of people. This man went around
among his acquaintances until he
found twenty-five who were willing to
pay him $40 month each for the Use
of horse-just what they would pay
for the board of one if they owned it,
But they did not want livery horses,
so he agreed to give each patron the
same horse always and not let it go
to any other person. Then he began
buying up secondhand buggies and
phaetons and good, serviceable horses,
until he had $1,000 invested in the
private livery plant, as he called it.
He had to hire only one extra hand,
and he had room In plenty; so the ad-
ditional expense, beyond feed. was not
much. He had been running his
plant a year when l saw him, and he
told me that the entire expense was
$3.50 a month, and that he took In
$3.50 cash every month, leaving him a
net profit on his $4,000 investment of
$1,000 year, and every member Of
the horse club was so pleased that he
had booked for another year, and there
were dozen applicants for member
ship.
"Of course he lost something by
putting some Of his good customers
into the club. but he got them for a
year that way and he was willing
to lose one 50 drive to pick up forty
60-cent ones. Now" concluded the
drummer, that you have learned what
a horse club is, perhaps you might
suggest it to your friends in the
country and let them try it once"

Life of a Fire Enrinc.

The life Of fire engine in New York
city in its first use Is ten years. 1t Is
then rebuilt and is good, either in
regular service or as a reserve engine,
for ten years more. After twenty years
OF service the old engine is sold at
auction.
1t may be bought by another city or
town for use as fire engine, but this
happens very rarely. The engines are
heavy, and they must be drawn by
horses, so they are not adapted for use
in smaller cities. The old engine Is
oftener bought by contractor, for
USE, for instance, in pumping out cell
lars In such service steam pres
sure of fifty pounds might be ample for
tho work, while in fire service pres
sure of $50 pounds might be required.
In such work as this the old engine
might last three or four years more.
Sometimes the discarded Fire Dep
partment engine is bought by junk
dealer. who breaks 1t up for the metals
it contains, and this Is what they all
come to at last.
