HOME TRAINING FOR GIRLS.
1t IS Better for Great Many
Girls Than a College Course

"a home training is a thing
not TO be desp:sed, . writes Ed
ward Box in an article, Shall
Our Girls go to College? IN

nal. IF that training is of the
best it is an exceedingly fine
question to decide whethe- it is
not as good in its highest and
truest results as a college course.
That l home training is il1in>
itely better for great many OF
our girls than the best training
possible at a college admits, l
think, OF very little, if any dis
pute. | say this, and emphasize
the point because some of our
girls are prone to feel that they
are IN a measure, abused and
handicapped if they are not per-
mltted by their parents to go to
college. | question very much
from our present conditions OF
society whether the time has
yet been reached in American
life when one can truthfully say
that the majority of our girls
can be sent away from the home
at a time in their
lives when they are most inns
pressinable, and when the in
auence Of a careful mother, S
training means every thing

NEW YORK, May 29.-One Of the most
II teresting preparations for the out
fitting Of the Manila expedition has
Just been announced. The govern.
ment has purchased p, coo Mexican
silver dollars, which Gen. Merritt viii
take along to defray the expenses of
the expedition. This amount is not
expected to last long, but more viii
be sent him from time to time. By
purchasing Mexican dollars a great
saving IS made. 1t is possible to OBJ
tain Mexican dollars at 80 cents each,
thus obtaining for one American dol
lar two Mexican ones and leaving
eight cents toward the purchase Of a
third. In other words, Uncle Sam
was able TO buy 1000 Mexican
dollars for 81, 900. They were bought
in San Francisco. In the Philippines
a Mexican dollar viii buy more than
an American dollar, and the expenses
Of Gen. Merritfs expedition after It

One-half what they would otherwise
be. As to the soldiers, they win fare

cording to law, American money. The
paymaster viii give each soldier two
Mexican dollars for every American
dollar due him on pay day.
