Place Of the coIlege Girl,

various e0njectures as to the part
the educated girl liz to play In the So
5cial and economic affairs Of the new
time have been offered by educators
and sOcioiogists. Not few have ex-
pressed some doubt as to the value of
the higher education to the young
woman who Is to embrace the voca-
ton OF wifehood and motherhood.
Many have not hesltated to question
the utility of an education that has so
little bearing upon the duties incident
to the ordinary sphere of wemaniy ac-
tivities.
In an address of much force deliv-
cred before the graduating class at
Vassar College Whitelaw Reid defined
the place of the college girl and the
range of influence which her training
and knowledge may take In the social
and economic world. Outside the Inn
mediate and inestimable effect ON the
family, the conservative power of ed
ucated women, in the opinion of Mr..
Reid, naturally will show it's influence
on social life. Their influence will
check the degradation of social life,
the constant craze for newspaper pub
licity, and the evils that come from
excesses. This influence, he declared,
may infuse moderation into our new
and admirable devotion to athletics.
1t may also restore sanity to our "char-
ity run mad."-Chicago Record Herald.

Heat Exhaustion,

Heat exhaustion, says a trained
nurse, is very different thing from
sunstroke. In fact, its symptoms are
directly opposite from those of sun
stroke. In heat exhaustion the skin
is cold and clammy and the tempera-
ture is sub-normal The patient often
loses consciousness and looks deathly
pale. The condition Is not as serious
as sunstroke but 1t Is dangerous, and
should receive great care. If at any
time during the hot season one feels
weak. with indistinct vision and dis
turbed mind; II there Is ringing in
the ears and a sense of prostration, it
is time to stop work and seek medical
attention. Aromatic spirits of am
mona, teaspoonfui in wineglass
of hot water, is good remedy to take
before the doctor comes. Black coffee
is another good stimulant. A cold wet
cloth may be applied to the head and
a hot water bottle to the feet.-Phila-
de,phia Telegraph.

Cure for Headache.

Headache is perhaps the most COM
mon ailment mortal flesh is heir to.
A very simple remedy. often found
to relieve the most violent headache, is
this: Take small quantity Of black
pepper and put it in piece Of fine
linen, then fold over so the grains will
not fall out and wet the whole band
age with camphor. Place it across the
head and lie down on your back. The
pain will have ceased in very short
space Of time and the patient will fall
asleep. When the camphor dries out
Of the linen, If not relieved, saturate
it again. A mixture Of Ice and salt in
proportion of one to one-half tied up
in linen cloth and held to the head
will often give relief. For sick head
ache take glass two-thirds full Of
finely shaved ice, the juice of one lem
on and teaspoon Of sugar. This mix
ture, eaten slowly, will allay feverish
thirst and quiet the disturbed stom-
ach. Bilious headache may. often be
relieved by drinking two teaspoonfuls
Of finely powdered charcoal dissolved
in half glass Of water. A powder
should be taken one hour later.

The Quiet Farm Lie.

/ would not try to make every boy
farmer, or every girl a farmers
wife, but it does seem to ME that we
should impress upon the children that,
while the opportunities to- make great
fortunes will not often open to them
on the farm, there are less failures
among those engaged in our business
than any other. When we read eulo-
giles on the captains of industry, who
have accumulated fortunes in mining,
commerce and manufacturing, we do
not hear of the poor miserable privates
who have fallen by the wayside, finan-
cial, moral and physical wrecks.
Do not teach the children that life's
pathway is strewn with thorns and
brambles in all directions. Too much
teaching has already gone forth, and
the masses are pushing, crushing, surg
Ing and jostling against each other,
even TO madness and destruction. Still,
in all this Wild rush, we occasionally
see individuals who are quietly and
gently, with pleasant word and
smile, making their way through the
seething mass Of humanity, almost
without disturbing 1t. and reaching the
desired goal. "As sorrow and weeping
may endure for the night, but jog

The Work of Women.

The position Of rich and idle wom-
an, bedded in luxurious home, with
all the arts and crafts ministering to
her personal qualification and the ex-
tension of her vanity, from body to
dress, from dress to home and furni-
ture, and with all the endless "trip
peries Of display, is one of painful
abnormality. A woman working all
the time in her home is primitive, but
genuine. She represents an early De-
riod of development, it is true, but one
of use and beauty and righteousness
in it's time. A woman who works
neither in the house nor out of it, who
greedily accepts all that human labor
and human wisdom and human skin
can do for her, and who does nothing
In return for any human creature-this
pttiable being can only be regarded as
a morbid by-prodact of the home. She
does not make the home, she does not
pay for it, she does not serve, and she
has no vital use or place either in the
home or in the world; yet she Is, In her
way, an inevitable result OF too much
home-just as toiling, narrow minded
drudge Is ar 3ther.-Charlotte Perkins

THE EARLY MORNING AIR

1t Has "a Virtue Over that Of Later
Hours.
Chemists have long told us not only
what is the exact composition of the
air, but also that this composition Ia
practically constant, whether the air be
that near the mountain top or the sea,
or from the chemistry would not ap-
pear to offer any explanation OF the
benefit gained from "a change or air."
Similarly everyone knows the sweet
ness and freshness of the early morn
ing air, attractive properties which
disappear as the day advances, but so
far as analysis goes the composition
of early morning air Is not different
from that Of air of any other time. It
Is well to remember, however, that
during the passing Of night to day
and Of day to night several physical
changes take place, says the London
Lancet. There Is fall in tempera-
ture at sunset and a rise again at
dawn, and consequently moisture Ia

To India, to Australia, to China, Japan.
Canada. to all points in the United
States and Europe, this school sends
each year it's graduates to become Sec
retaries and physical directors-mem-
hers of the big army Of the Young
Mems Christian Association workers.
But the young men thus sent are not
all natives Of this country by any
means. The training school is rightly
called international. Experience has
shown to the Young Mems Christian
Association leaders that native work
ers are able to accomplish more in O.
given field than a man who must first
adapt himself to the ways and Gus
toms of the people. This fact has
brought to the school students of near
~ every nationality. Visitors are as
tonished to find full-blooded American
Indians, shy sons Of far off Syria,
swarthy Italians or jolly little Japs
pursuing their studies side by side
with some Of the best types of Ameri-
can manhood the North OF South ia
capable Of producing.
The cosmopolitan character of the
eighty odd students enrolled Is a feat

tian Association Training School.
Again, this school is unique In the
prominence It gives to sports. While
In some other schools and colleges
there has been talk Of either limiting
the time devoted to or prohibiting Ger
tain sports, the Young Mems Christian
Association Training School not only
gives place in Its curriculum to the
best known sports, but is constantly
looking about for new ones that shall
serve to develop new muscles.

There Is popular delusion to the
