SOUTHERN YANKEES.
The Industrial south Is Developing
Characteristics of New Eng
land Type.

Every true Yankee should look with
a great deal of quiet. internal pride
upon the Yankee-evoiving south. That
an Englishman under a southern sun
should ever become a genuine Yankee
has often been despaired of. 1t is now
swelling fact. When the Spaniards
called Lee Yankee year ago, it
pleased the south, though there is as
yet comparatively small spot on the
southern map where the Yankee
sprung out of the very soil threatens
to oustrip his own blood elsewhere.
The soil, says the Criterion, out of
which the southern Yankee is spring
ing with such robust energy extends
from Lynchburg, Va, on the east, and
Bristol, Tenn, on the west, to Eufaula
and Birmingham, Ala, on the south.
1t is about 500 miles in length, and
from 200 to 300 miles in breadth. 1t
embraces the iron, coal and cotton
mill site, and decidedly the most inter
esting phase of all this energy here is
the cotton mill, for this phase is the
latest and is developing more of the
genuine characteristics of the New
England Yankee in the southern man
than elsewhere in the country.

SCHOOLS IN CITIES.
9Annsas City and Milwaukee spend
the Least Per CapIta-Eastcrn
CitIes Higher.

A shortage in the school fund in ST..
Paul has caused the superintendent of
the school system in that city to make
comparison of the cost per pupil with
the similar cost in Ia cities, says the
Buffalo Express. On the basis of the
figures of attendance the cost in ST.
Paul is $22,0s. Only two other cities
show a smaller cost - Kansas City,
where the school year is only nine
months long and where the is $20.O7,
and Milwaukee, where the salary ac-
count alone makes the cost $2L87. Sew
eral cities run from 1924 to S2S, while
the cost amounts to $3.50 in Pitts
bbrgh and to $4077 in Denver. The
eastern cities have a much higher rate
than those in the west, Denver except
ed, and there the cost of labor and
fuel is excessive. The figures given
have to do with the entire school sys-
TEN, but the difference is wider when
high schools alone are considered. Bos-
ton, with its suburbs, has ~ high
schools, for which it pays a per capita
rate Of $Sj.I0; on salary basis alone
ii amounts to $G219. In ST. Paul the
total per capital cost in high schools
on the basis of average daily attend
ance is $44.36, and out of this $34.91 is
expended for teachers salaries.

A BUNCO POST OFFICE.
How Arcadia, n New York Town,
Found Its Way Into the Post
Office Guide Book.

After an existence Of nearly 60 years
a little post office in New York state
that had its origin in sort of political
bunco game has ceased to be, says the
Buffalo Courier. September Is Arcadia
post office, which was located in. New
ark, despite the fact that Newark
also had its own village post Office, was
officially closed by the government and
Postmaster John Dillenbeck turned
over the property to Postmaster Rich
ard p. Groat, of the Newark office.
Away back in 1910, SO tradition runs,
Roderick Price, who wanted to see Ar
cadia grow to be a great town, made a
visit to Washington with L. L. Rose, an
other Arcadia merchant, and labored
hard to get post office established at
Arcadia. In their petition they seemed
to state that Arcadia was distant three
or four miles from Newark, but over the
figure q" in fine lettering, was the fig
ure 49," so that the petition really
stated that Arcadia was 20 or "a miles"
distant from Newark. Three-quarters
of a mile is the actual distance.
The post Office officials failed to de-
tect the little figure, and Arcadia Sc
cured her post office. Ever since then
mail has come daily to the little post
office for dispatch to the towns round
about Newark post office receiving the
village mail. On the maps Arcadia APP
pears as separate village, but as
matter of fact it has been a part of
Newark nearly 50 Years.

ODD WAYS OF TELLING TIME
Many New Workers Mark It's ""re
by the Progress of
Business.

So regular is the progress OF business
in a great city like this that many per-
sons mark the march of time without
referring to a cock. They merely note
nassino occurrences. says the New York
Mail and Express. No matter in what
section Of the city one may live he Will
after a moments thought, recall some
daily occurrence that will acquaint him
WITH the time of day.
The people on Washington Heights
have for years been able to tell TO dot
when It is II p. m. on week days and ten
o'clock on Sunday nights by the footing
of familiar tugboat whistle. This tug
whistles for Waterman. A cashier in
one Of the biggest banks near wall
street never looks at Trinity ashe APP
proaches his Office. He knows to GER
tainty whether he is on time by the 10
cation in which he meets shoestring
peddler. If the latter be on the south
side or Pine street and Broadway the
cashier knows he Is on time. Should
he be TO the north of that point the
cashier is late. A woman on West
Twenty-ffth street begins to cook
breakfast every morning at the mo-
ment that a certain police officer goes
by. 1t is her way Of telling time, and
the bluecoat's approach never varies a
minute. Along Third avenue some of
the shopkeepers tell the time by sim
ply glancing at the familiar face Of
some passing motorman II is a most
interesting study, this telling Of time

KAISERIN NO HOUSEWIFE.
MINERS Ordered by the Emperor,
But the Empress Supervises
the Dressmaking.

1t is a popular custom to represent
the German empress as being above all
a good "hausfrau" and one interested
in little else than household manage
ment. This tradition, says the New
York Tribune, is viewed with certain
amusement in aristocratic Berlin cir
cles. The fact is that the empress has
so little to do with the Housekeeping
of the palace at Potsdam that she rele-
gates to the emperor the daily task OF
receiving the official whose duty it is
TO supervise the management OF the
royal household.
1t was the consort of the late En-
peror Frederick, born princess royal of
England, who first took personal charge
of the Prussian royal establishment.
The greatest extravaganza and waste
prevailed before she and her practical
husband took the matter in hand and
effected sweeping reforms. Their eX-
ample is followed by the present en-
peror who never gives the simplest din
ner party without first calculating the
exact cost per guest.
The little daughter of the emperor is
receiving careful education in all do
nestle branches, but the empress takes
no interest in any except that of dress
making. Most of her own and her
daughters dresses are cut and made I'M
der her supervision. A large staff of
needlewomen are employed, and one
French or Viennese model gown is often
copied in a number of different colors
and fabrics The empress dresses with
much elegance, but she has no particu-
lar reputation for originality.

Bacteria as Engineers.

Improbable as it seems, says the Lon
don Lancet, it appears to be a fact that
bacteria are able to cause the breaking
down of stone walls. Recent investiga-
tions. have shown that nitrifying bac-
terra swarm in the mud formed by the
disintegration Of cement in reservoirs,
and it is believed that the decay Of CO.
ment results from the action of nitrous
acid produced by the bacteria. Yet
these same microscopic engineers,
whose myriads undermine solid walls
Of masonry, are nevertheless of i'm
mense use to man because they are chief
agents in the publication of water.

TUBERCULOSIS GERMS.
The only Way to Destroy Them Is by
the Thorough PasteurizatiOn of
MIX and Cream.

The subject of tuberculosis is one
which interests the entire world. Al
though dollars innumerable and great
study have been devoted to securing
some method of successfully combat
ing this disease, and although the
world is startled now and again with
the announcement that a great discov-
cry has been made along these lines,
yet only palliative measures have thus
far been found effective in any degree.
1t is known that milk from COWS
whose udders are affected by tubercu-
losis is liable to cause srnission of
the disease to persons, especially to
young children, the bacillus producing
this disease in cattle and consumption
among people being ideL tical. 1t IS
now interesting and important tc know
that foreign Investigations have DEM
onstrated that tuberculosis germs are
often found in butter and that they
will there 1--we FOR considerable period
of time. The only way, il is stated,
to feel sure of the butter and milk you
are consuming is to know tha. toe milk
and the cream from which the butter is
made is pasteurized and the germs
killed. 1t is not now generally believed
that consumption or tuberculosis can
be directly inherited-it is acquired by
the offspring rather from close contact
with the mother. At the Wisconsin sta
ton some Of the best animals were
found to be diseased. They were sep
arated from the others and calves bred
from them; but the offsprings were i'm
mediately removed from the mothers
and fed on the milk Of other cattle.
They have proved perfectly healthy.
The milk Of diseased cattle has also
been successfully used for feeding pur-
poses after having been thoroughly
urized.-Farmers' Review.

The queen of the Belgians was
brought up in her fathers castle at
Pesth, amid surroundings and customs
which remind one of the feudal ages.
At night her father himself descended
the great staircase TO lock the outer
gate and the door of the principal hall.
This hall was divided into two parts,
one end being raised little above the
other. AT the elevated end the daugh-
tiers of the house sat at their needle
work or painting or music, while their
attendants sat at the lower end of the
hall.

Imitation Butter in Cuba.

American butter sells for less in
the Cuban market than butter from
France, Holland and Denmark. And
yet American butter is generally bet
ter than that coming from the other
countries. The trouble is that oleo-
margarine and other limitations are
sold in Cuba as American butter. 1t
is precisely the same dishonest meth
DDS which have SO greatly injured the
American butter trade in Europe.
When our government stops this
fraudulent trade American butter and
cheese will sell again in the markets
of the world at prices as high as sim
liar articles from other countries.
This dishonest practice on the part Of
exporters not only disgraces the
United States, but it takes millions Of
dollars annually out of the farmers
pockets by depreciating the value of
their products.-Philadelp Press

THE QUEENS HINDUSTANI.
Victoria Has Mastered the DihicIIf
Language After Many Years
of study.

1t will be handed down to posterity,
says Parsons Magazine, as one of the
most astounding proofs of Queen Vic
toria's vast intellectual attachments
that-in spite of all duties and rcspon-
sibilities, in spite of the fact that she
has devoted so much time 10 the study
of politics as to become one of the
greatest living authorities on the prac-
teal politics of Europe-she has yet so
completely mastered a most difficult
language that she has been able to
make it a custom to note the daily
events of her life in Hindustani, in a
diary kept for this special purpose, and
to speak the language with fluency.
For more than ten years it has been
the queens custom to devote a part of
every day to instruction in the chief
language of her Indian subjects and in
enriching her mind with the intellect
ual treasure of the east.
Her majesty has surprised many of
her Indian visitors by making unex-
pected observations in good Hindustani.

variably attended upon, at home, by
one or more of her faithful, picturesque
and courteous Indian servants. But it
is not common knowledge that the
queen always speaks to her servants in
their native language. Nevertheless,
this is the case-however small the re-
mark, however important the com
mand, whether it is simple request
for a meal or a serious matter of state,
it is made in Hindustani
Universal admiration has been ex-
pressed at the determination of the
queen, at an advanced age, not only to
learn to speak Hindustani, but also to
take an interest in the literature of In
dia, and to acquaint herself with the
ideas, wants and as .,irations of hev
oriental subjects in their own language

her into the house, took away her wet

heart with joy. Then She brought a
