the large majority get only one
third that price, and then instead
of giving the home merchant lib
eral discount you will find him
him paying from fourth to halt
more than the foreign advertiser
A business man that gave away
one fourth of his flour and sugar
just because some one asked HIM
for it would be considered a fool
and yet we newspaper people who
are supposed to know something,
go on yet giving our space to any
irresponsible agent that asksfOr it..
One trouble is the animOsity be-
tween agents and publishers. The
publishers looks upon the agent as
a robber and the agent looks upon
the publisher as his legitimate
prey, and so in the very beginning
relations are strained between peo-
pie that ought to be very close and
friendly.
Who is to blame? The publishers,
we are the ones who have brought
this upon ourselves by allowing
the agent to dictate the price and
it will stay just so long as we al
low.
The remedy is in our. own hands,
will we use it?

:CHILDREN.S STUDY
BY Miles M. OBrien. President OF
/. New York's Board OF Education.

i do not believe that children in
the public schools are ever made insane
by overstudy. Now ard then case
occurs when a child loses Its reason
ing powers while attending school. Too
often the parents do not investigate,
but set the trouble down to overstudy
As matter OF fact most of the cases
are results of other causes. Insanity
is often inherited: often brought on by
exterior influences. 1t may be SUPER
induced by study, that ds all.
There are remarkably few instances
of this trouble in New York schools
and their infrequency IL the best ar
gument to advance against the cry
that children are crazed by applica-
ton to books
There Is no doubt that more Is re-
quired Of pupils nowadays than for
merry. But the pupil Is better pro-
vided for at school. The hours are
not overlong and by careful attention
to work there should be small need
for overstudy at home.
The tendency of the time is toward
so tightening studies that the school
child accomplishes the most work with
the least effort.
Once in a while we hear Of q case
of death from protraHted study by
night in desire to surpass others.
Such scholars could not be held back.
There is no method which would re-
strain them. Our teachers, however,
do all they can for the pupils under
their charge.
The frequency of insanity cases in
= l.
duced by superior physical attention.
An isolated case of insanity, set
down to overstudy, cannot be taken as
a criterion. Our children are as a
rule of sound body and mind.

The kiwi-kiwi is an pathological Gu
riosity from New Zealand. A stuffed
specimen of this bird is owned by a
club in a Western city. The kiwi-kiwi
Is hunted at night with torches and
spears. 1t lives mostly among the fern,
and, as it always remains concealed
during the day in deep recesses Of rocks,
ground or tree roots, and is remarka-
bly, fleet of foot, diving among the
heavy fern leaves with singular adroit-
ness, IL is not easy of capture. 1t is
wingless, plumeless and tailless It's
feathers are fat. black and curiously
striped. The bird varies from the size
of bantam 70 common turkey. The
