the education of a man. The children of
educated women were never .illiterate
whether they went to school or not
In North Carolina there are 40, goo more
illterate women than men, and 20. 900 of
these are white women. The tendency of
legislation for educational qualification
for the franchise will still more have the
effect of discouraging the education of wo-
men in the South There is but one prop
erly endowed womans college in all the
South. 1t would be as we'll almost to
have an educational qualification for mat
rimony. Now if the women teachers of
the South without endowment are doing
assmuch as those of the rich endowed
colleges for men at the North are doing
it is time you philanthropists were turn
ing your attention to this fruitful field
for education in the South and at least
ments to colleges and universities whose
Golfers are already overfowing with gold.
The speaker made strong plea for the
education of the women.
IN conclusion he said the public schools
and colleges for women were the two
best fields for investment of money in the
South to day. For forty years we have
been in the wilderness of poverty and
have at last taken strides that have as
tonished the natives. The Moses of edu-
cation in the South for our public insti-
tutions has been Dr. Curry, the wise and
faithful agent of the Peabody fund.

the close of his excellent address
President James McAllister, of Drex-
ell Institute of Philadelphia, said there
was an investment of ten millions dol
lars alone in the public library of Boston.
The conference then adjourned until

COMMENT ON HAWAII.

Interesting rumors come from Ho-
feet the unsettled state of Territorial
affairs. One report is of movement
under way to secure the passage of a
law abolishing the Territory and con-
verting it into Congressional district
attached to California. One of the sup
porters of this project is said to be
Judge Humphreys. whose peculiar
conduct on the bench was recently de-
scribed in the course of a letter to the
Star from it's Honolulu correspondent.
His association with the scheme sug-
.gests that it is another move of the
factions in Hawaii opposed to Governor
Dole and all he represents These fac
tionS have thus far succeeded in bring
ing discredit upon the Hawaiians in
their first attempt at self government
under American sovereignty. They
have fomented trouble between the
Governor and the Legislature and have
sought to secure the removal of the
former by the President. Any propo-
sails from them must be considered sus-
piciously as intended to advance the
schemes of a few and not the welfare
of the Territory. The project itself is
unworthy of serious thought at this
time. The recent display of native in
capacity for government under the
guidance of such men as Humphreys
and Wilcox is in itself a strong argu-
ment against modifying the present
method of government which is at all
times subject to the corrective control
of the Federal administration. If Ha-
wall as Territory can send no better
man than Wilcox. of all her worthy cit
liens, as Delegate to Congress, there is
no warrant for believing that she would
choose a more satisfactory representa-
tive as district of California. A few
seasons of Territoryship is apparently
the very thing Hawaii needs before
Statehood is to be contemplated. Mean
while a rumor is circulated that Gov
ernor Dole has resigned his office rec
ommending Secretary Cooper for the
succession 1t is accredited to the au-
thority of the Honolulu organ of the
party which has most vigorously OPP
posed the Governor in his course, and
this fact suggests that the wish is ia

TaE CARBoLIZED KISS.

There is direful CONSERVATION 'mong the
knights of OSCILLATION,
Who taste their cup of joy when lips
''kersmack.''
For the health boards regulation says
that physical salvation
Demands departure from the beaten
track.
It's said that when you're kissing and
the cares Of life dismissing,
The bacilli and microbes leave their
lair,
And engage them bed and boarding where
the ruby lips are boarding
Affectionate Salutes of fond pair
You must, therefore, be most careful
to reflect on it is fearful,
To disinfect the mouth-piece ere you
kiss,
If you don't a giddy germ down your
throat will surely squirm,
And much subsequent enjoyment you
may miss.
The remedy is simple-on each lip and
nose and dimple,
Some carbolized rose-water you must
spill,
And the moment that you sprinkle, germs
will vanish in a twinkle,
And you twain of chaste delight may
take your fill
Then haste you. youth and maiden, with
Cupid's burden laden,
And HE you to the nearest druggists
store,
Then get back to your wooing and the
bacillrs undoing,
Nor kiss uncarbolized for ever more.

land to cost $4,000. Mr.. Smith claim
ed that the increase was justifiable;
that return of s21 600 in twenty years
upon a valuation of 900 would be
considered by him as very good in
vestment, not taking into consideration
the new building to be erected upon it.
The appellants claimed that under the
law they could not be assessed more
than on the annual rental value for the
first eight years, amounting in this
case to $1,000, and did not think the
increase was justified. This case was
also taken under advisement.
The cases which will probably be
heard this afternoon are those of H.

CURIOUS CHINESE DENTISTS.

A novel account of the manner In
which Chinese dentists operate on their
patients is contributed by German
naval surgeon who has just returned
from Pekin.
They use, he says. neither pincers
nor any other surgical instruments
such as are used in Europe, employing
instead their fingers for the purpose
of extracting teeth. This dlfilcult
operation they perform with a dexter
ity and skill that might well excite the
envy of their American and European
colleagues. The tooth which is to be
extracted is grasped by the thumb and
index finger and is then pulled out. the
force necessary for such work being
equivalent to 100. $50 and sometimes
100 kilogrammes.
The Chinaman who decides to be-
come a dentist practices this FEAT from
his sixteenth year by pulling out from
an ebony plank ivory pegs of various
sizes. which have been firmly fixed in
if. In this way he acquires surpris-
ing knack, so that 1t becomes easy for
him to draw out a molar or wisdom
tooth without ever being obliged to
make a second attempt. That his pa
TENTS suffer during the operation is
admitted but It Is claimed that their
pain is of very brief duration
For the purpose of cleaning his pa
tents teeth the Chinese dentist uses
powder made from the bones of cutie
fish. which he applies by means or
small bamboo Instruments His cure
for toothache is pill of opium and
some oil Of mint, which is to be rubbed
on the jaws.
OF the art OF filling teeth with gold
or any other metal he is profoundly
ignorant. and whenever he has to deal
with a decayed tooth which he cannot
remove he satisfies himself by filling 1t
with a paste made Of ordinary pow
