uuate for her coming out" These are
itemized estimates of the necessary ex-
penditures for a young girl in her So
cial position:
House in New York, $4,000 to $4,000
per year.
Cost of maintenance, $4,000 per
year.
Tutors, ETC., $1,000 per year.
Clothes, 81, 500 year.
Horses and carriages, 81 1900 q year.
Maid, $3.50 year.
Physicians and dentists bills, 5000
year.
Travelling expenses, $1,000 per year.
Entertainments, $1,000 per year.
The total foots up more than $4,000.
This might be trifie for the heir of a
very wealthy family. 1t is more than
the entire income of Miss Campbell's
estate.
The figures are interesting in them
selves. They show that a society
woman spends upon purely personal
expenses less money in proportion
than those in moderate circumstances.
Miss Campbell's clothes, maid, tuition
and professional bills come within her
present income. 1t is the ceremonial
life-the house, carriages, entertain
that costs in the case of the immigrant
millionaires who are making even
blase New York cape.

CURING A BALKY HORSE.
Simple Methods May Be Employed
without ResOrting to the Use
of the Whip.

An expert states that the vice of
baking in horses is almost invariably
caused by improper breaking and
handling of the animal while young.
1t is only high-strung and ill-tempered
horses that balk; and these arehandled
with more success by humoring and
patience than By severe measures,
which generally make matters worse.
1t is almost impossible to follow rules
in a case of this sort. What will sue
coed in one case is useless in another,
so that a driver must exercise good
Judgment" horse sense-in handling
case very good treatment is to
watch the animal closely in places

answered inquiries in regard to, his
opinion of our country; and, now we
are told that he is going to put down
in black and white his impressions of
''The Wonderful Nation" which, as
minister to, he has had unusual Oppor-
tunities to study and become ac-
quainted with. English sOjOurners IN

their criticisms and summings-up of
us and our institutions, and we have
borne the burden of their books with
what grace we were able. Our atti-

point Of view will at least have origi-

LANG Chen Tung, who is to succeed
WI Ting Fang, asserts he is looking
forward with much pleasure to his
duties at Washington, where he has
many friends and collegemates. Sec
rotary Hay he has known and liked for

ceives his appointment as minister to
the United States because his govern
ment considers his long experience in
America where he was educated,
makes him specially fitted for the post.

increase; while the remaining four, al
though following in the order above
named, all show decreases. The
cheese factories in these same states
in 1900 (including establishments MAX
ing butter in connection with the
manufacture of cheese) numbered as
follows: New York, 1914; Wisconsin,
1886; Ohio, 800; Pennsylvania, 140;
Michigan, 1856; California, 50; Illinois,
123; Vermont, II; Iowa, SO, and Mime
sofa, SIS. No other state had as
many as 40. 1t is further interesting
to note that Wisconsin, Pennsylvania
and California each reports increased
quantities of cheese made on the farm,
while in all the other states named
there has been a falling off in this
item. California produced 4,249,5SS
pounds of farm-made cheese in 1900,
and 2,676, 543 pounds made in factories;
this is the only instance of the kind
and the only state reporting as much
as 100000 pounds made on farms.
Maine furnishes good example of
the changes in cheese making which
have taken place in some sections dur
ing the last quarter century. Twenty
five years ago Maine had 60 cheese fac
tories and now has 16. The condition
of the latter is fair average of those
of the older cheese-making states.
The factories average 243 cows, or not
quite five cows to each patron; the av-
erage of cheese made per cow is 144.S
pounds, the range being from SO to $50
pounds. Six factories, with 1000 cows,
report an average of 1877 pounds per
COW. Of course, this difference in prod
uct depends largely upon the length of
the season during which the factories
are in operation.
New York and Wisconsin continue to
be the great cheese-producing states
of the union. They are credited for
1900 with totals of 127, 795, 1875 pounds
and 77,748,6 $50 pounds, respectively,
and together they produced 205,543,-
SIS pounds, or more than two-thirds
of all the cheese made in the United
States. The aggregate production of

Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: II seems 10 me that The clerks in busincs s
offices should have little more ordinary educa.
tion and apply little more common, ordinary
sense to their vocation than is generally the case,
even with those who have graduated at one OF the
high schools or one oi the other advanced insti-
tutions OF learning This objection 10 our modern
system OF education has frequently OF late been
discussed, in current literature, and our foremost
men in business, literature and science have con.
iibued their quota TO this discussion and have
pointed ont, more than once, that IL is moi so
much the fault ot the schools OF the system vi
education in vogue us il is the "sloyenly' use Of
our language in the daily newspapers, which
should be- the home e'teachers OF all classes of
society, OF the Young as well rs the old, but who
are, sad to say, only 100 frequently, not only in
judicons teachers 10 The young and uniformed
mind, but they are also, in many Instances, 10
say the leasD, untru,hml in their statements and

the fact that owing to the necessity OF commerce
in saving paper, smaH a type has to be used
Tor reading matter in the average newspapers,
,hat eminent specialists on diseases of the eye,
both in this country and abroad, have unhesitat
ngly predicted that the next generation will have

This may also lie the reason Tor the existence

it enables the editor 10 headline the news ac-
oording to the particular complexion OF his paper
