AGE FOR STUDY.
A Child Should No te Sent 10
School Until Seven Years

A mother writes US All inter>
esting letter regarding the age
at which children should begin
their education, and we quote it
tor the benefit Of other mothers
who, :perhaps, may have had
some doubts on the question
themselves, says the Philadel> =
phia Times.
"After an experience OF fifty
years as teacher, covering all
grades, from the alphabetarian
to the classical student, ven>
ture to suggest that no child
should be sent to any public
school before it is seven years of
age, and then not till it has
been instructed in secret lore by
the parents. Vice is to be found
in every school. A strong ply
sique is not common.
"I lave two boys, and the
younger at five years enjoys
nothing better than a book or
paper, consults an index, reads
numbers readily and for,nulat=s
arithmetical problems. This has
been done without teaching save
what he dieW out Of his parents.
To urge such a child would be
little better than child murder.
"The older has no taste for
book and was never taught a
lesson at home without crying.
We let him go a few weeks
when seven years of age, hoping
he would catch the inspiration
from others, but he did not en-
ter school again till he was
eleven years old. His diet Of
cereals, fruit and milk gives
him a glow of health to be covet,
ed, althought not robust youth.
Although study is distasteful, he
ttkes high 1ank in grade
one year younger than he (his
class averaging twelve years),
the most of them having been
in school since they were Of law
tul age to attend.
"Would l make sure that
they would be so taught as to
not need reputation, l would
have no child in school under
ten years Of age. l would not
suffer my own child to receive a
diploma of graduation from the
high school at seventeen, nor
the university at twenty-one. 1t
were better to add fonr years
more as the limit of either"

SMALLPOX CURE.
A Recipe Which is Said to be
Absolutely Unfailing.

For the benefit of those who fear
an epidemic of small pox, we re
print the following.
A correspondent of the Stockton
(Cal.) Herald speaks as follows
concerning the smallpox and it's
remedy;
| herewith append a recipe which
has been used, to my knowledge, in
hundreds of cases. 1t will prevent
or cure the smallpox, though the
pittings are filling. When Jenner
discovered cowpox in England, the
world of science hurled an ava
lanohe of tame upon his head; but
when the most scientific school Of
medicine in the world-that of Par
is-puhlished this recipe as pana-
cea for smallpox it passed unheeded.
1t is unfailing as fate, and conquers
in every instance. It is harmless
when taken by a well person. 1t
will also cure scarlet fever. Here
it is just as l used it, and cured my
children of scarlet fever, here it is
as | have used it to cure the small
pox. When learned physicians said
the patient must die it has cured.
Sulphate of zinc, ole grain; fox
glove (digitalis), one grain; half-a-
teaspoonful of sugar. Mix with two
teaspoonsful of water; when thor
oughly mixed add four ounces of
water. Take a teaspoonful every
hour. Either disease will disap
pear in twelve hours. For child,
smaller doses according to age. If
counties would compel physicians
to use this, there would be no need
of pest houses. If you value advice
and experience, use this for that
terrible disease.

The present state administration
says the Caldwell Tribune, is en-
gagged in o ludierous attelnp to
make the people believe that there
is to be reduction in taxes. This
is the scheme; Property through
out the state is, to be assessed at a
considerably higher valuation, con-
sequently when the state board
comes to make the levy, the levy
will be reduced, and the campaign
orators will go forth saying to the
people that in 1896 under repuhli-
can rule the levy was So cents on
800. of valuation, whereas in 1898
and 1899 under the benifcent sway
of democracy the levy is only 65
cents. But some taxpayer may say,
Il am paying more taxes than I
was then" To which the campaign
liar will suavely respond, "tbat is
because you are richer" And what
taxpayer would not be confonnded
by such logic? Here is certainly
feat of craftsmanship that should
make the whole body polite get up
on its hind legs and glorify. BY a
mere fiat of the legislature every
taxpaper is greatly enriched and
mis- tax rate-remenber "rate," is
materially decreased. Democracy,
where are thy laurels? Now watch
us figure it out: In 1890 farmer
had two span of horses assessed at
$50 span, total 500. The state
tax rate was So cents. In 1899 he
has the same horses, but the asses
sor put them down at 800 per span,
total 5000. Plainly the farmer is
500 richer. Figures don't lie. But
the tax rate is only 60 cents. Plain
ly this reduction of "rate." In
1896 the state got only IS cents
taxes on these horses, but in 1899
it gets $1.30. Plainly the state is
better off. And there you have it:
The farmer is richer, the state is
richer, and the tax rate is reduced.
This would make the old, original
green with envy. Now,
if the assessor is liberal, humane
sort of fellow, he will assess the
horses at million dollars; that
would make the farmer independ-
entity rich. Then the state board
would reduce the rate to 20 cents,
that would be a tremendous reduc-
lion. But happily the states rev.
enue would not suffer depletion, be-
cause those old nags would yield
10000, and the farmer could mort
gage the whole ranch to pay the
axes on his teams. Wonderful
scheme, isn't it?

VALUE OF SELF ED
UCATION.

1t is More Lasting Than Academic Train
ing Because it Calls for More Effort.
Edward Box answers a girl cor
respondent who inquiries "How can
one learn other than at college and
still realize the highest iving?" in
the April Ladies Home Journal.
"The inestimable value of mental
training he says, sis undeniable
for girl or boy, man or woman. But
mental training is not alone to be
had at the college or university.
1t can be had more systematically
there, perhaps, but not moro effect
lively than anywhere else if the de-
sire to learn and study is present
in the heart. There is mistaken
idea present with many that we go
to college to get certain amount
of information or a number of facts
In our heads. The legitimate use
of all colleges is mental discipline:
in other words, the training OF our
faculties SO that they will be of use
to us as tools. The school, the col
lege or the university is simply the
beginning of our learning. It gives
US not learning, but trains us how
to learn in after years. For the life
of woman, like that of man, be.
gins after college has been left be-
hind. Snow, mental discipline may
be just as easily acquired at home
as at college, provided girl SO
Wills. What developed the hun
dreds of thousands of women who
never went to college, and yet who
are to-day women OF the very finest
mindsY Not one In five thousand
girls in this country can or will ev-
er 30 to college. That is possible
only for the smallest minority. Yet
the majority will not fail of the
highest living because the oppor-
tunity of an academic training was
from them. Self-develop-
ment is far more lasting than men
tai training, because it calls for
greater effort, and efforts, well di-
rected, are of themselves the great
est means Of development we have.
What we find out ourselves we re-
member better and longer than
what is taught or told us.-April

ANY one who is at all familiar
with the growth of ad yertising real
ICES how phenomenal it has been.
There are, of course, many reasons
for this, but one which is seldom
taken into account is the influence
which ridicule has had on the non
advertiser. The comic papers, with
their Jokes and cartoons, are strong
er factors In molding public senti-
ment than most of us are aware Of.
They are firm believers in the value
OF advertising and will occasionally
give some gratis This is shown by
the way they have written up the
IMAM who doesn't advertise.
In the olden time the court fool
(who, by the way, was usually not
aa big a fool as he looked, protect
ed by the laugh which he knew
would follow the remark, delivered
many rebuke which otherwise
would have put in jeopardy the
head underneath the FOOLS cap. So
the present incumbent of the FOOLS
office shows up the folly of not adj
yertising as effectively and much
more entertainingly than could a
weighty discourse running into the
nintblies.
In this day and age not to adver
vertise is an acknowledgment of
unprogressiveness which most peo-
pie would hesitate to make.
Not many men are anxious for
the distinction Of being the "only
man in town who does not adver.
tise."
The absurdity of having a good
article which you want to bring to
public notice but won't advertise is
so apparent as not to need dia-
gram. The non-advertiser knows
he is following a ridiculous and
short-sighted policy, too, and that
is why the laugh hurts him.
We have all suffered many things
of the professional joke writer. In
the words of another, Il could
tale unfold whose lightest word
would harrow up thy SOUL" In pa
tent resignation we have borne
with him, because we remembered
that he, like ourselver, had mis-
taken ambition to keep body and
soul together. But every evil has its
compensation. We suggest that the
Joker leave his old friends, the
mother-in-law and the husband
Who stays out late at night, and de-
vote his attention exclusively to
the pan who does not advertise. If
