CHEERTHG,

The settlement by committee Of the street railroad strike in New Haven was cheering illustration of what can be done. and it is also cheering to read that by unanimous vote the mem bers of the Street Railway Union of the North and West Sides in Chicago de- cided to submit to arbitration their diff ferences with the Union and Consoli- dated traction companies. Attorney Clarence Darrow was named as arbi- trator for the union. President John NJ. Roach os the street-car lines will select an arbitrator for the company, and the two will name the third mem her.
 The more such incidents the better. They give hope that the time may come when it will be possible to settle all Tabor troubles without prolonged suf- fering and bloodshed.

MISS ANNA LAWVER'S YORK,

The 'woman's column and the "woman's page' often give directions to women how to make money, and some of the new occupations for women" they tell about are decidedly ingenious. These columns and these pages are the work of experienced women or experi- enced men, and they often give useful suggestions to young and aspiring wo- men. But Miss Anna Lawyer, of Greenwood, Pennsylvania, who is only F years old. and who is aspiring, didn't turn to them when she wanted new occupation" She found one herself and started out as a teacher instead of a learner. She catches and sells snakes for living and has made about five hundred dollars this year in that con- genial work. It is said of her that she is one of the most expert snake-catch- CTS in the country. Recently she made a big catch of rattlers and sold them at handsome profit to eastern dealers. She is now working on contract to furnish snakes, at fancy prices, for carnival show.
 Success to Miss Lawyer in her chosen work. Perhaps in killing snakes she is doing as much to uplift the world as if she spent her time in preparing and reading papers to mothers clubs on how to bring up children. What pity that the first woman wasn't in the snake-killing business.

The Annunl Parody.

Maud Muller (gentle reader, here Is the parody that comes each year). Maud Muller. on q summers eve. Pinned back her skirt and tucked each
 sleeve.
 She got the hose upon the lawn And deftly turned the water on. She sDrlnkled gayly on the grass. And smiled on those who chanced to pass. The Judge came walking down the street, And s9ied Miss Muller, trim and neat. He raised his hat to speak to her; His heart with love began to stir; For Maud was young and fair to see. The Judge was rich as rich could be. Just when he made his graceful bow The water did not twist somehow: It did not smite him on the ear: It did not fill his soul with fear: It did not swat him in the vest And knock his garments galleywest; It did not wash him from the soot- No, gentle reader. it did not. Instead, Maud turned the water off Just when his hat received the doff. The Judge unused softly: Such as she Is the ideal wife for me- And Maud unused: "rll change my name By springing this domestic game.'' The Judge proposed-the rest you guess Maud Muller lost no time with Yes" And often now the Judge will dream Of how the setting suns last gleam lllumined Maudie, with the hose, And how his ardor swiftly rose. And Maudie, too, dreams of the eve When, with tucked skirt and r0lled-up sleeve,
 She utilized her cunning tact And engineered the lawn-hose act, And posed there in the twilight dim, And with delft science landed him. Of all true words of tongue or pen The truest are: They fool the men.''

 NOT FXACTLY PREHISTORrC,

So many things happen in Kansas that there was no great surprise when it was announced the other day that the remains of a prehistoric man" had been discovered at or near Lansing. in that State. The remains were said to be at least 35,0O0 years old, and many long and learned disquisitions on them have been written The geological for nation in which the bones were found was positive evidence to the scientists of the thousands of years that had elapsed since this early human being was laid in his last resting place. More over, the shape of his skull plainly in- dicated the inferior development that Is supposed to have been characteristic of the first specimens of the human race. But G. c. Clemens of Topeka rises and reveals that the remains are those of man who died in prison about thirty years ago. The convict was a man of culture, who felt deeply the dis grace that had come upon him, and when he felt himself dying he expressed the wish that he might be buried out side the prison grounds, but in an un- marked spot. This request was granted and, according to MT. Clemens, "the body was inferred deep in an old, aban- doned, abortive coal shaft, and next day the grave was ploughed over and hidden" MT Clemens names many prominent men who, he says, can vouch for at least part of the story.
 Much learning may possibly make some people mad. but there is no doubt that some of the scientists who "iden- tified" those remains are now mad enough and sad enough over the way they have displayed much learning.

SOUND dDTTCF.

In swinging around New England President Roosevelt has said some good and wise things, but none better and wiser than his remarks at Waterville,
 Maine, on the training of children. He said: Every father of large family and being an fashioned man I be- lieve in large families-knows that if he has to do we'll by his children he must try to do we'll by himself. Now, haven't you in your own experience known men and I am sorry to say even more

 brought up to be very ornamental and
 not useful. Don't you know that too?
 Exactly. Now, those are not good
 fathers and mothers. They are foolish fathers and mothers. They are not be- ing kind; they are simply being silly.
 The only way by which, in the long run. any man can be helped is by teach

 Fathers and mothers. and those who
 expect to be fathers and mothers, will do well to read and heed this advice.
 It is sound and sensible. The Father

For many years the government of Russia has been deporting to Siberia it's men Of the most active intellect and turning them loose in a new country to make a livelihood for themselves and for their families. It is not strange, then, to note that universities and mu- seums are springing up in Russia's eastern possessions, nor that many of the men of science and teachers on the staff are exiles. Professor G. F. Wright of Oberlin described at the Pittsburg meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science some of the museums of archaeology he vis- tied in the Russian East. There is scarcely town of ten thousand inhab- itants in all Siberia, he says, but has a public museum. under the care of learned and competent curator. In the older cities the museums often rival anything we have in the United States, except those of Washington, New York, Boston and Chicago. One of the finest of the Siberian collections is at Khaba- rovsk-a town whose very name is un- familiar The museum of Irkutsk is nearly a century old. Perhaps the most interesting and important establish ment of the sort is at Minusinsk. Stu dents from all parts of the world visit it's collections. All these museums are supported and have been mainly built up by private contributors, and are the

 The following incident illustrates the efficiency of the United States mail service when it is efficient: At Rock Island, Illinois, there was deposited in United States mailbox a letter upon the envelope of which was pasted a picture evidently representing some railway passenger agent. This was all there was upon the envelope. That the picture was of some railway passenger agent the postoffice authorities deter mined from the uniform, and, under a microscopic inspection, discovered that the cap bore the inscription, Chicago and Alton Railway Passenger Agent. D Upon reference to a Chicago and Alton railway folder, in which appear the pictures of depot passenger agents, the postofice authorities discovered that the individual to whom the letter was addressed was Price M. Taylor, depot passenger agent at St. Louis. The let ter was forwarded, reaching MT. Tay- Tor three days after it was mailed in Rock Island.
