WOMEN as TEACHERS.

Professor Brumbaugh produced a
hum of excitement in teachers con-
vention recently by the allegation
that women are less fitted for teach
ing than men for the reason that they
are less capable teachers of the science
OF government, and also that they
teach mainly for livelihood and not
for love of the profession. But the
learned educators objection might
apply with almost equal force to the
men. An amazing number of men are
in the profession who know nothing
whatever of civic affairs. Indeed so
true is this that election officers find
that as rule it is not so much the ig-
norant voter who fails to mark his
ballot properly as the educated citi-
zell whose mind is concerned with a
vvd4siety Of affairs. The objection that
women are more mercenary than men
with regard to the profession of teach
ing will hardly be sustained as gen
eral proposition. If the woman fol-
lows her calling simply for the salary
it affords her no less does the man,
and if the latter appears to put more
enthusiasm into his work, it is likely
to be for the reason that he desires to
please the school board and retain his
position.
1t is true, however, that women, as
rule, take up teaching as make
shift. All young women, and most
of those who are no longer young,
hope and expect to marry, and the
young teachers finds her avocation
pleasing way to spend the interval
until her fate comes along, besides
handy means Of providing for the
trosseau. 1t is this constantly chang
ing nature of the personnel of the
teaching force which is the greatest
detriment to its usefulness, but even
this drawback is not without its ad-
vantages. The charge of Tagging
superhuous upon the stage" is
brought more often against the teach
er than against any other class. In
New England the prejudice is so
stronge against the veteran school
marin that they have invented the
name of fuss-budget" to describe
her. If then the young teacher mar
ries as soon as she can, and the drop
ping out leaves vacancy for new
enthusiast, the teaching profession
is, at all events, kept fresh and the
schools have the advantage of the
newest theories. On the whole, how
ever, it would be better if men and
women entered the teaching field as
tine former take up law or medicine
or theology, with the purpose of max
ing it their life work. -KenneH Id

A MANS NECKT1E,

II wouldn't attempt to judge a
man by his coat" she said gravely,
"but I would not hesitate two minutes
to Judge him by his necktie. 1t is
an almost infallible guide. Ofcourse
there are exceptions, but the charac-
ter and intellect of most men can be
told by the way in which they tie
their ties. Now, take the overclever
man, for example.
"The tie of the genius has afforded
much copy for the pen of the satir-
ist and the pencil of the caricaturist,
but in reality any little popularity or
idiosyncrasy in dressing is generally
the outward and visible sign of vanity
rather than of personal untidiness.
The average man, with an ordinary
share of intellect, seldom knows how
to tie a tie as it can be tied and is tied
by men with no intellect at all. He
may possess a charming selection of
the best ties which Broadway can
supply and does not in the least look
eccentric-nay, rather, he often wants
to be as smart i'll appearance as posi-
BILE, but somehow he rarely achieves
his object.
Directly you see a really beautiful
ly tied tie Except in the cases of
military men and actors, with whom
it is a part of the training) which
never moves out Of place, following
faithfully the little idiosyncrasies of
contemporary dandyism, you may be
fairly certain that you are not face to
face with an undiscovered Shakes
peare or all embryonic Goethe. Of
course, in the case Of rich and i'm
portant parsonage, the lesser details
of the toilet are usually left to the
valet, but even then 1 defy man of
real brains to keep his tie at the ex-
act angle for any considerable time.
At dinner you will generally find that
by the time the soup has arrived the
evening tie has shifted its position or
become obliquely set. This could
probably be easily avoided, only it
happens that the way in which a
man wears his tie indicates pretty ac-
curately the wearer's intellectual ap-
probation of trifes. Toledo Blade.

E x H rs.

Rev. Sam Jonea on one occasion
delivered his sermon called "Wives
and Husbands before an immense
gathering in Birmingham, Ala. He
dwelt particularly on the beauty and
utility of mutual forbearance between
husbands and wives, and then, as
though desirious of showing the rari-
ty of that quality said
eff there is woman in this vast
gathering who has never said an un-
kind word to her husband, she will
please stand up"
A woman arose as though she had
been challenged, and Jones, beckon-
ing her with both arms, called out en-
Enthusiastically
"Come here, sister come right
up here to the platform. I want this
audience to see you -
The woman did as bidden, and,
when she reached the preachers side,
was presented to the throng as the
"most beautiful woman in Birming-
ham," Jones, continuing his ad-
dress, asked any man who had never
spoken an unkind word to his wife to
make himself known. Promptly arose
ten big, strapping, self-conscious
chaps, who started for the platform
without further bidding, and with an
air that suggested the anticipation of
praise from the preacher, who, as they
neared him, said
That's right, my men Come

THE OLD TOWN PUMP.

AS the years go drifting onward with their tide
of joy and grief,
Among the dearest treasures that know
Are pictures hung in memory's nails OF child
hoods days so brief,
And the village home loved so long ago;
Methinks I see it as at eve the moonbeam's g
Illumined all the landmarks on the scene,
Cast shadows round the stage coach as it rnm-
And the old town pump that stood beside the
green.
That pump had braved the storms of years, twas
never known to shirk,
Beside its spout rusty dipper hung,
And when its well-worn handle creaked so cheer
1t almost seemed mercy song it sung;
To rich and poor it never grudged clear and
sparkling draft,
No purer potion e'er was slipped. ween,
No tonic was more bracing than the cooliug
drink we quaffed
From the old town pump beside the village
green.
When night descended, on the green our fathers
Forgetting all the burdens of the day,
Exchanging "reminiscences with ever-ready wit,
While care on curling smoke-clouds sped
Content to live their simple lives, they sought
not fame or wealth
While some perchance, adversity had seen,
And ere they parted for the night they'd drink
each others health
AT the old town pump beside the village green.
The stage coach long since met the fate of the
deacons "one-hoss shay"
The driver, too, has gone to his reward,
While on the green Keep OF the Grass" con-
fronts us here today,
We dare not trespass on its velvet swarde
The pump is gone and inits place a modern foun-
Uplifting high its showers with silv'ry sheen,
But we miss the ancient landmarks that are
And the old town pump that stood beside the
green. Boston Globe.

SALT LAKE.

An interesting story concerning
the Great Salt Lake at Utah is pre-
sented by a writer in the Chicago
Record Herald. This writer declares
that this body of water known as
America Dead Sea is gradually pass
ing away. 1t is pointed out that a
few years agowhat is known as Gar
field Beach was surrounded by water
which was from four to five feet deep,
but during the last summer it was
necessary to walk half a mile lake
ward before water could be found of
sufficient depth for bathing. 1t is
said by this writer that the resort au-
thorities are considering two schemes
to preserve the place for bathers.
One is to build an artificial lake
around the present site, and wall it
in, and the other is to move it further
out into the receding body of water
If the latter project is undertaken it
may be found necessary to keep
moving" from year to year, as the
lake is growing smaller at phenom-
enal rate. This dead sea once occu-
pied the entire Utah Valley. The
"water line," which is visible along
the mountains bordering the valley,
reaches as high as one thousand feet
above the present surface of the lake.
The salt deposit on the shore extends
at some points miles inland, thus
proving remarkable recession of the
Great Salt Lake and vicinity: "Not
a tree fourishes on its border, nor on
any of the adjacent plains" " But
this history has been outdone, for to-
day the adjacent plains abound in
groves, fruit tress and fields of grain,
all of which has been made possible
through system of irrigation. The
discovery of the magic influence of
water on this supposedly barren soil
is causing the mountain streams to be
diverted from their accustomed paths
and the lake to be robbed of its sup
ply. Meanwhile evaporation is stead
lily reducing the level of the lake.
Snow does not fall in tie mountains
as heavily as in past years, hence the
streams are not fed so bountifully.
Farmers and municipalities clamor for
increased quantities of the precious
fluid and the hand of law is invoked
to settle the question of ownership,
while the great lake is forgotten and
actually dying of thirst.

USES OF SALT.

Do you know that common salt,
dampened, will remove the discolora-
ton on cups and saucers which is the
result of tea and coffee and careless
washing? That it will take the egg
stain from silver? That it will re-
store in great measure colors faded in
washing or keep them from fading if
used in the rinsing water? That
nothing cleans China mating or will
low furniture so as a salt and water
scrubbing with scrubbing brush !?
That it is an excellent dentifrice !?
That if the chimney gets on fire salt
put upon the fire will deaden the
flame? And how many even old
cooks know that when the blaze from
dripping fat on the Goals is charring
the steak they are broiling the trouble
can be stopped by throwing a little
salt on the fire?

WHAT I LIVE FOR.


live for those who love me.
Whose hearts are kind and true;
For the heaven that smiles above me,
And awaits my spirit, too;
For all human ties that bind me,
For the task my God assigned me,
For the bright hopes left behind me.
And the good that can do.
1 live to learn their story.
Who suffered for my sake;
To emulate their glory,
And follow in their wake.
Bards. patriots, martyrs, sages,
The noble of all ages,
Whose deeds crown history's pages,
And times great volume make.
live to hold communion
With all that is divine;
To feel there is union
'Twixt natures heart and mine;
To profit by affection,
Reap truth from fields of fiction,
Grow wiser from conviction.
And fulfill each grand design.
live to hail that season
BY gifted minds foretOld,
When man shall live by reason,
And not alone by gold:
When man to man united,
And every wrong thing righted,.
The whole world shall be lighted
AS Eden was OF old.
1 live for those who love me,
For those who know me true;
For the heaven that smiles above me,
And awaits my spirit. too;
For the cause that lacks assistance,
For the wrongs that need resistance,
For the future in the distance,
And the good that | can do.

HER CURL.
BY FLORA STEWART EMORY.

A laughing wee chit of girl!
Yet hold her tight, tight,
With a masterful might,
She is mine from her toes to her curl.

She's my wife for God gave her to me.

HOW MANY KNOW THIS.

The wheel on every Pullman car is
made of paper. You do not see the
paper as it is covered with iron and
steel. The body of the wheel is a
block of paper about four inches
thick. Around this is a rim of steel
measuring from two to three inches.
1t is this steel rim of course which
comes in contact with the rails. The
sides are covered with circular iron
plates bo1ted on. This is not alone
confined to Pullman cars, but some Of
the heaviest engines have wheels
made as described above.
