Why Be Dependent?

Why depend on others when you
can be independent? 1t certainly is
known as a fact that Independence

by the fact that so many people

they do this? BY borrowing money

The opening morning exercises

very characteristic. With great
ceremony the Stars and Stripes are
paraded up the room, everyone sa-
lutes. Then is sung. not a religious
hymn, but a sentimental song. Then
the principal may give a few min
utes' talk, generally in patriotic
vein. A certain vapid sentimental
ity is provided instead OF the strong
wholesome teaching as to what is
right and wrong, which is found
between the covers of the old Bible.
The chara cter of the child indubit-
ably reflects the instruction of his
preceptors. The American boy, the
brightest creature on earth, devel-
ops into youth who is sensual, not
religious, indulgent nor kind; pa
triotic, not law-abiding; sharp not

THUNDERBOLTS AT
AMERICAN SCHOOLS.

LONDON, Dec. 1.-THE discus
sion in England as to the relative
advantages of religious and secular
education has brought out some
sharp comment by Englishmen on
American schools. In nearly every
English school religious instruction
is given great importance. In some
one-third of the time of the pupils
IN taken up in the study of the
Bible and catechism. The bill now
in parliament provides for the con-
tinuation of this system and Ameri-
can boys are held up as horrible
examples Of the effect OF secular
education. They are described as
knowing nothing of sacred history
or moral precepts. A letter in the
London Times gives the following

was she seen to better advantage
than in this play. OF the play itself
there is little to be said. The dra-

nothing else. The story is a stirring
one, and the play will doubtless be

PROFESSIONAL DOG WASHERS.
Queer Trade to Be Seen In Certain
Parts of Paris.

Wide World Magazine: AS you walk
along certain parts of Paris your at
tention is sometimes attracted by the
barking of dog, and on such an oc-
casion one of the queerest of the out
door trades of Paris is seen. Near the
waters edge, his black coat flecked
thickly with soap suds, stands the dog

ing the soap into the long, hairy coat,
stands one of the professional dog

d'lena to the Pont Neuf. These men

owners look on from conveniently plac

to franc. When the soaping opera

into the river and encouraged to get rid
OF the dirt and soap by Il swim.
Sometimes the pet will swim straight
out, while the fair owner is in agonies
of fear lest some swiftly passing steam
er should strike it and end its bathing
and swimming days forever. On more
than one occasion the dog washer has
been driven to plunge in and rescue the
