When Richie. Are Discounted.

From the New York Tribune.
1t is difficult for the people who are
obliged to "skimp'' and manage to make
both end meet to realize that they get
more pleasure out of life than those who
can afford to crafty their whims and who
purchase that strikes their fancy. AS
Bridget says in ELSIE" there is a middle
state in which people are far happier-if
they would only believe it-than those who
"A purchase is only a purchase, now that
We have money" continues Bridget. regret
fully. Formerly 1t was a triumph, When
we coveted a luxury in those good old times
and weigh the for and against. and think
what we might spare out of it. and what
saving. We could hit upon that could be an
equivalent. A thing was worth buying
it, A book. an ornament. a plant. a bit
of china, a piece of silver-all had their
value in those days of our simplicity. Shall
we ever learn that there are better things
pleasures and happy hours. that are unat-
tainable by the rich!
What are the young people made of now
adays that they dread poverty SO much?
Are not youth and health and a suficiency
for absolute needs. riches enough? Does
romance count for nothing in these LAYS of
mammon? Riches take to themselves wings
and flee away. and, as a matter of fact and
OF statistics, those marriages which, from
a worldly point of view, seem most desira-
BILE, often turn out disappointing, while the
young couple who begin life with modest
wishes and simple requirements are apt in
their middle life to bask in the sunshine of
prosperity.
Some author has said tina a comfortable
fortune Is the supplementary youth of mid
die age. A poor supplement. indeed. and
need not envy. even although comparative
poverty may be Its accompaniment.

ONE FLOWER SHE WEARS.
And the Fashionable Woman Is New
err Seen Without the Chosen
Bloom.

From the Detroit Free Press.
Fashionable women have again taken up
the fancy of wearing flowers at all times.
Tint was. not SO long ago when this
was considered bad style. Then a small
bunch of violets was allowed, which grad
ually Increased in size until 1t became alb
surd. Now. of course, a large bunch of
vtolets Is still allowable, but the fad Is to
have some one particular flower. and never
to BIO seen without that flower. The more
expensive 1t is the better.
1t Is said that for the Initiated there is
a shibboleth which can interpret just what
such flowers mean. Two women discussing
the probabilities of the rumored engage
ments of Miss Birdie Fair and Miss Cath

fenced by the commanding tone of,a third
woman, who made the assertion that she
knew Miss Fair was engaged, for she wore

did know, for the discussion ended at once.
This Is unfortunate for the young men
when they begin to pay attention to some
woman whose fad it is to wear an orchid.

be two or three to choose from.
Then the long stem roses are a mere mat

but economy and attention to a fashionable
woman are not synonymous.
The bouquets sent to the debutantes this
year have been wonderfully beautiful, and
there have been several instances where
the girl has received from % to 100. each
and every bouquet of the most expensive
flowers. One girl had no less than eight
bouquets of the rarest orchids. Another
received in a glass vase, shaded from pur-
pie to green, in itself worth an enormous
sum-, a bouquet of green and lilac orchids.
TIL man who sent this trifiing gift de-
served to have made some Roadway, for it
represented a goodly part Of his monthly
income.
1t is not so long since the carrying Of
bouquets to a dance was vetoed, and it is
not now considered good form to carry bou-

SHOULD BE BETTER PAID.
Teachers Receive Less Than Members
of Most, II Not All, the
Professions

1t would seem that the teacher ought to
be the best paid person of any profession;
for when so much is required OF her in
the discharge of her arduous responsible
tiles in the schoolroom, there is necessity
for spending much time and money in
aids toward physical and intellectual re-
Taxation and comfort that will make IL
possible to endure the strain of hard ana
eXactinS labor. Even though the teacher
possess the spirit of a missionary and re-
ceive n portion of her reward from the
good she can do, still she cannot Fly in the
face of nature a great while without max
Ing restitution in some manner. Yet IL is
a lamentable fact that teachers on the
average receive far less for their work
than do the members OF most. II not all.
other professions. There are to-day in
the public schools of elementary and sec
ondary grade in our country over 3SS.up0
teachers Who receive an average of $50 per
month. Among these are included many
who have, been trained in semlnaries, col
leges and universities, and a large num-
Der who are graduates of normal and high
schools. Most of them are obliged to re-
side away from home the greater part OF
the year, and SO are at comparatively
large expense in the maintenance of daily
life 1t can be seen that what is left after
necessities are provided for must be very
meager indeed.
If it were possible now to ascertain the
average income of the lawyers. doctors
and other professional men in the country
it would in all probability appear to be a
hpiipc VI iiit lIIdl U lUc average ScIlOO
teacher. 1t is a fact of common observa-
ton that young men of ambition but of
limited means who engage in public school
teaching continue at it but a short time
only long enough to accumulate Il suffi-
cheney to pay off debts. or to prepare for
some other profession; and 1t is UNIVERSAL
~ admitted that in a financial way a
young man has far greater advantages as
a lawyer, even of the p~ettifogger sort.
than does a teacher OF the finest quality.
II We compare the salaries of those in the
employ of the government in its various
departments with the wage of public
school teachers as already given, we see
that the most moderately paid positions
yield at least twice as much as does school
teaching, while the most lucrative places
yield many times as much as do the ma
jority of places in public schools. OF
course it would be hardly reverential to
compare the highest positions in the gift
Of the state. as the presidency. headships
of departments, judgeships in high courts.
governorships, memberships in the national
legislature, etc. with the best places in
the public school service; but 1t would
seem reasonable for teachers to expect
that they should receive as much for
their labors as a clerk or a typewriter In
the employ of the government.

What a Nan Owe. to His Country.

From the North American Review.
Wisest and best of all the marks Of a
true patriot is the possession and the prac-
tice of an intelligent interest in the public
affairs Of his country. Hopeless In the face
Of the overwhelming majorities Of selfish
and self-seeking masses of men, blindly
following a leader to whom they hand over
the exercise of what Is supposed to be their
will as expressed by votes, too many men
Of influence and character havs withdrawn
themselves from all concern in the admin
istration Of government. And 1t Is the at
tftude of cowardice and immortality. Con-
spicuous instances Of failure in the attempt
to bring about a better condition of politi-s
cal management are no doubt most discour-
aging; but ultimate and not immediate sue
cess is the wise expectation Of thoughtful
men. And. meanwhile. no forlorn nope was
ever led by the kind Of man who loses
heart in the face of failure. And more
than that. personal duty is not measured
by this rule. A man owes to his country
even his life, II the sacrifice is demanded;
and he owes the service of his time. his In
telligence. his interest, his participation in
high public affairs.
