Educate Girls in Agriculture.

Milwaukee Journal
Attention has been turned towards
the deslra bleness of training and edu-
eating young men as farmers. The idea
IS to apply knowledge of science to this
ancient calling and lift it above mere
manual labor to the position to which
1t rightfully belongs Schools have been
established where experiments can be
made to test the theories advanced by
those engaged in laboratory work.
These young men go into their work
with the enthusiasm that an active IN
telligence inspires. Everything, large
and small, connected with agriculture
gains new and vivid interest.
One can scarcely acquire any degree
of intellectual culture without at the
same time acquiring somewhat of re-
hnement in manner and converse ton.
The active life of the one employed in
agriculture, largely in the open air,
gives health and vigor to the body
/ Health and joy of life shine out from
the face, giving a measure of personal
beauty to this manly tiller of the soul.
/ Living thus in close contact with ma
ture and having the intelligence to win
the best out of surroundings, the char
/ acter IS elevated and the farmer stands
out noble and worthy high respect
What kind of wives are ready for

er's daughter has received little more
schooling than the country school af-

more than TO play hymn tunes or a few
popular melodies on the cabinet organ.
Her social experiences are chiefly the
county fair and a few neighborhood
picnics, This IS not decrying these ad-
vantages far as they 20, but this viii

citizens OF municipalities know what is

Peachy of Mays Landing, employed in
the cotton mill in this city, escaped
death only by the breaking Of her apron
strings. She was working alongside Of
two big rollers which caught her apron
and began to draw the terrified girl into
them. She fought against the awful
power that was drawing her to sure
death and her screams could not be
heard above the roar of the machinery.
Her head bumped against beam and
she felt that one more effort was all
that was left when suddenly the strings
Of the apron broke and the apron swept

BALD HEADS NOT NrcEssARy,

Ye bald-headed men who sit in the
front row al the theater and worry at
odd times about . wig. take couragsl
The fact that there Is no hair on the
SOD Of your heads indicates only that
the hair-destroying microbe holds forth
on your pates. This annoying little
creature can himself be destroyed, and
upon his destruction your hair win com
mence growing. and eventually become
thick enough to hide the shiny spot
that is 50 familiar in the front row here
tofore referred to.
Not long since he san Francisco Ex-
aminer offered the advice that men ,e-
frain from wearing tight fitting hats.
Il pointed out that tight fitting
hats had a decided tendency to
prevent circulation in the scalp,
with the result that the growth
Of hair was made impossible. The Ex-
aniTer IS pretty well up in stun of this
kind. but the scientifc editor erred in
his statement. The cause OF badness
Is the mtcro0e.
Scientific works lately at hand give
us some interesting information with
reference to the matter; 1t seems that
The hair-destroying microbes function
Is TO prevent growth Of the hair. The
microbe Is Of the surface variety, and,
once it 10 removed or destroyed. the
&
hair win grow. A certain ray OF the
unknown ray machine viii settle the
hash or the microbes responsible for
shiny pates. for the foreign institutes
have tried out the treatment and found
1t to be perfectly successful. BY expos
ing the microbes to this ray, their de-
strnction Is brought about, and. once
they are killed. the growth of hair con-
tlnues. The microbe is alone responsi-
ble for badness. and there il an effect
i've way Of circumventing the funct-
IONS OF this unpopular germ. Almest
any physiciln owning anx-ray machine

sided with the apparatus necessary to
produce the esseutiafray.
1t is interesting in this connection to
note thar the treatment is absolutely
without sensation. The ray manifests
itself in glass tube, and in its glare
ahe microbe perishes. The itch mi-
erobe is destroyed almost instantly in
The light OF the violet ray, and even

treatment.
Science has made wonderful strides,
and in the case Of almost any consti-
tufional disease it is only necessary to
determine the nature of the germ and
then consult bacteriologist for the
remedy. What he anti-toxin treatment
win not accomplish the x-ray
can be depended upon to bring about,
and even the most pronounced cases of
pulmonary tuberculosis can now be pos
itiveIy and permanently cured. That
the percentage of deaths from con-
sumption is not smaller is the fault Of
the patients. who, in their enthusiasm
over bettered health, regard themselves
as cured and neglect to observe the pre-
cautions SO absolutely essential to per-
maDent cure.
