REAL SOLITUDE.

VOLUMES HAVE BEEN WRITTEN
about the solitude Of the arctic
circle. For miles and miles and miles
the eye sees nothing but hummocks Of
snow and ice. There is no sign Of hui
man or animal or vegetable life, and
the man alone in that great emptiness
feels that he has drunk to the last
dregs the cup Of loneliness. Other
writer's tell Of the isolation of the des-
ert, with its fathomless stretches of
glistening sands, its utter lack of COM
panionship. But the desert traveller,
the arctic explorer. the jungle breaker.
the trail blazer. know naught Of soli-
tude.
No loneliness is to be compared with
the loneliness of a house from which
the family has departed. ASK the man
whose family has gone away for the
summer. Hear him tell OF the baby's
shoe he found in the middle Of the par
Tor floor and the rush Of desolation
that flooded his spirit at the sight Let
him talk OF the rooms from which the
sunshine has departed or the echo of
his steps as he walks through his ten
autless abode. Is the isolation Of the
desert or Of the pole to be compared
with it?
Over in a corner is a crumpled little
cloth hat, where the small boy threw
it when he came in to dinner In a
closet is a tattered pinafore that has
outlived its usefulness so far as sum-
mer outings are concerned. A torn
picture book, ali filled with impossible
lions and tigers and "efelunts," has
escaped the packing and is lying half
open by the dresser. Idle stands the
hobby horse. wondering, in his wooden
way, where the merry little man who
so cheerily kicked his painted ribs and
pulled his sparse tail has flown 10.
Desolation? Let the hundreds of
heads Of families who have experienced
Il bear expert testimony. Was 1t only
yesterday that the trunks were packed
and the good-byes said? Was it only
yesterday that the little wife and her
flock smiled from the car window as
the train pulled out? Impossible. It
must have been week, month, a
year ago.
No man is so homeless as the man
who has a home in circumstances such
as these. No human being is more for
lorn, none finds time so heavy. Surely
he'll has no terrors for the home-lover
who spends a summer in an empty
house alone.

OUR COMMERCIAL SUPREMACY

HENRY GANNETT, chief geographer
IL of the United States geological
survey. has some very interesting sta
tistics in the Forum for May under
the title. our Industrial Position IN
the World" He shows eonelusively
that the United States stands at the
head, commercially and industrially of
the nations of the earth. Many of Mr..
Gannett's figures have never before
been published and those who read
them viii have thesr eyes opened to the
greatness Of their country.
For instance, the United States pro-
duces q. per cent of the agricultural
products Of the world, while Russia,
our nearest competitor. produces but
Is per cent. In the field of manufac-
ture the showing is fully as creditshle.
More than one-ffth Of the cotton cloth
of the globe comes from American
looms in American mills. Great Britain
being the only country to surpass US.
We make almost a fourth of the wool
en- cloth and in that we excel England.
Twenty-seven per cent Of all the linen
comes from the United States, with
Germany second at about . per cent
Nearly half the paper is made in the
United States. three times as much as
Great Britain produces and four times
as much as that Of France. One-third
of all the glass is made in American
factories while France Is in second
place with less than one-fouTth. And
now Mr.. Gannett takes up the steel
and iron industry, which he considers
the most important branch of manu-
features and in which only a few years
ago, the United States was behind
other nations.
Just "a per cent Of the globes iron
ore is produced by American mines; "a
per cent Of the pig iron comes from
our furnaces and 81 per cent of the
steel is made in American crucibles
and furnaces. No other nation on earth
even approximates this output Great
Britains production is a third less. So
It runs all along the line and Mr.. Can
periOrity of the American farmer and
artisan over his foreign competitors.
Notwithstanding the fact that his
wages are higher, he does his work so
much faster and so much better that
the difference is more than overcome.
''In other words says Mr. Gannett.
''the product. per hand, of the United
States artisan is nearly three times
as great as that Of his nearest com
petitor. This enormous differ
ence in efficiency between the artisans

and those of Europe on the other,
which is due mainly to the universal
use in this country Of the most mod
ern machinery and methods, enables US
not only to hold our own markets, but
TO invade successfully the home mar

TWAIN DEFENDS FUNSTON.

I n THE CURRENT North American
Review Mark Twain has a de
Tense" OF General Funston that de-
serves a high place in the worlds finest
sarcasm. A more biting arraignment
Of a public man has never been writ
ten. It bores and stings and burrows
until even the little Kansan himself
must feel IT, Twain starts with the
assertion that Funston's disposition,
not the man himself, is to blame for his
treachery displayed in the capture Of
Aguinaldo.
He did not make his own DISPOSE
tion,' says the writer. 1T was born
with him. It chose his ideals for him;
he did not choose them. It chose the
kind Of society It liked, the kind of
comrades It preferred and imposed
them upon him, rejecting all other
kinds. It took as naturally to
moral slang as Washington's took to
moral gold but only 1t was to blame.
and not Funston. It was able to say
TO an enemy, Have pity on me; I am
starving; I am too weak to move; give
ne food; am your friend; am your
fellow-patriot, your fellow-F Filipino.

iberty. like you-have pity; save my
life; there is no other help.

Twain inserts a deIiciously humorous

ployed in the capture Of Aguinaldo

WOMEN AS TEACHERS.

NEW YORK has a school commits

cupy places in the public schools Of
that state. His name Is Williams. not
an uncommon one. by the way. al
though this particular bearer OF il
seems to be a most uncommon igno-
ramus. Some weeks ago Mr.. Williams
made a talk to a teachers institute at
FishkiH. \. Y. On that occasion he
delivered himself Of this statement, ac-
cording to published reports;

much or be ranked as a profession IN

majority of women teach only for
brief period. ana then set married.
They do not enter on the work as a
life vocation. and are not sincere in
prosecuting it." Williams followed
this I'D with the assertion that boards
OF education and parents should not
visit the schools. It hardly seems worth

IL certainly would not be worth while
to pay any attention to him The fact
that he is a school commissioner, how
ever. may lead some. people to attach
Importance to what he says.
There are few greater powers for
good in the formative period Of child
life than the woman teacher. Women.
1t may be stated as an almost invari-
able rule, have higher ideals, loftier
ambitions. purer thoughts and nobler
motives than men. The child who is
brought into contact with the average
woman teacher cannot fail to be bene-
flied by that contact Women have
more patience with the faults Of chill
-dren than men. They are far less like
ly to explode angriiy on slight or
even on grave. provocation. and their
ability to impart instruction is every
whit as good,
The greatest criticism that reason
able people have to offer against women
teachers is on the subject Of discipline.
And even there they are superior to a
very large proportion Of male teachers
The ordinary bad boy who delights to
make trouble in a school room, is par
ticularly pleased when ne can make
trouble for a man. There is more Of
the element Of danger about the latter,
and that always appeals strongly to
boys. More men have been driven out
OF positions by unruly pupils than
women.
One doesn't have to search far to find
the reason. A woman can persuade
where a man can neither persuade nor
drive. A big hulk Of a boy who will be
saucy to a man will be as meek as a
lamb in the presence of a demure little
ninety fve-pound woman who could no
more chastise him than she could push
ten-story building over, The theory
of MIR. Williams that women are not
useful in the public schools Is unjust.
unfair and a reflection on the sex
which every man should resent.
He is equally wrong on the subject
Of the relations between boards Of edu-
cation and parents 70 the schools. Man
ifestly it is the duty Of school trustees
and parents to maintain close relations
with the schools In which they are in
terested. In order TO do this they must
visit them at frequent intervals and
keep in touch with all departments.
Otherwise they cannot know whether
the children are being properly or i'm
properly taught and disciplined.

Talk with Beads
CConstantinople Cor. Chicago Record
Herald)

(Constantinople Cor. Chicago Record
Herald)
The Turks use beads for conversations
purposes as well as to count their pray
ers. The ordinary ritual Of the MOham-
medan faith requires thirty-six prayers
and sixteen quotations from the Koran
and the full ritual embraces ninety-nino
prayers. If a mistake is made il is nee
essary for the worshiper 70 begin at the
beginning and go over the whole thing
again Hence he is very careful TO check
each prayer that he utters and each QUO
tation that he repeats
Most OF the prayers are very short
however. and consist of the same mean
ing expressed in different phrases. al
lab Is great / testify that there is no
God but Allah, and Mohammed is his
prophet"
Those who use beads for conversations
purposes, as is done in Greece and other
Oriental countries, finger them uncon-
sciously. just as q woman fondles a fan

IN war it is often necessary to use
questionable means in order to attain
a great end. The capture OF Aguinaldo
was very much to be desired. It was
brought about, and while approval Of
the methods may be withheld. one can
not fail TO give appreciation to the
result.

Here is a comment OF a New York
editor which should be read by all in
terested, not only in the publishing Of
books, but also in the writing of them:
For many months past" he says, a
publishing house (Which shall be I'M
named here) has been sending US week
after week piles of bound volumes of
the most varied kinds, protesting to
contain fiction. or poetry. or theology.
or what-not. We have looked into them
all. at first with the expectation of
finding something worth reading; in
the end with the hope OF finding out
why in the world they were published.
They are all absolutely hopeless and
impossible from any literary stand
point. The authors may have been mis-
guided into the belief that any one can
write by the rate at which books are
produced nowadays; but they furnish
proof in black and white that some
| people cannot write. It would have
been mercy to them if some firm, but
kind critic had taken them in hand and
/ persuaded them not 10 publish, even if
/ they must write. 1t would have saved
their readers pain, and the reviewers,
too, for it is not pleasant to crush
down ambition for fame. or even the
/ yearnings for wealth. The publishers
readers must be a more than charitable
[ lot; it is hard 70 say what stuff they
would reject II they accept this. Per-
/ haps the circle Of each authors friends
( is large enough to absorb an edition.
Some Of the books have apparently
/ passed through more than one. It may
/ be that these authors have discrim-
/ mating friends. like the wealthy Boston
merchant with a literary daughter.
/ She wrote novels and had them pub
1 lished, and then her father bought up
l the edition and stored it in the cellar
/ in one Of his warehouses. Her col
lected works were all found there when
( he died. But what has a reviewer to do
/ with this stuff? It is not literature,
and It would be barbarOus to make fun
