TRAINING GIRLS FOR WORK.
Women's Commercial Schools Are Now
Popular in Germany.

From the New York Sun. s.--
An educational movement which began
In Germany two years ago is making rapid
progress. and its results will be extensive.
The chambers of commerce in the leading
cities took up the question of the education
of women for business. 1t was argued that
the advent of women in stores and facto-
ries, as bookkeepers, stengraphers, and in
other capacities, had become characteristic
OF business life; that there are more wo
men than men in Germany; that the num-
Der of unmarried women is on the increase,
especially in the large cities of the empire,
and that the plan of employ ng girls in
business houses should be encouraged, on "a
moral as Well as social grounds.
Berlin set the pace in the establishment
of commercial schools for women. The
Berlin chamber of commerce took the
trained to fill business places, the better
they will serve their employers, and Their
remuneration and social standing will be
improved.
with a total attendance of 500 students
under the control of the chamber of COM
merce, have been opened in Berlin The
subjects taught are stenography typewr.t-
ing, history, bookkeeping, correspondence,
commercial law, commercial geography and
other subjects that are likely to increase
the efficiency of women in business houses.
Many other cities have followed the eX-
ample of Berlin. Not a few of the appli-
cants are rejected because they have not
sufficient knowledge to take the courses or
are under the required age. Many of these
girls are helped. if necessary. to take a
longer course in the common schools to pre-
pare them for the work of the commercial
school.
The school in Cologne has 200 pupils, and.
museum containing many articles of
manufacture and materials of commerce
has been provided through the generosity
of the merchants and manufacturers of the
city.
Sixtysix girl pupils are taking the course
in the Dusseldorf commercial school,
There are nearly 500 students in the school
at Munich. Cassel and several other cities
have established similar schools, VIII CHI are
under the control either of the chamber of
commerce or the municipality.
Germany is thus endeavoring to educate
and train girls as well as boys who are
seeking to improve their business oppor-
tunities. Thus many of the women of Ger
many also will be able to join the trained
army of experts that has done so much to
develop the commerce and industries of the
German empire.

The Editors Burden.

From the San Francisco Argonaut
Here is a heart-to-heart talk which a
country editor, who evidently has troubles
of his own, recently gave to his delinquent
subscribers:
Good morning. Have you paid your sub
scription this year? Perhaps you owe for
last year, or several years. Now, you I'M
derstand. We don't need money; We have
millions-to get But it is really an imposi-
ton to let people go on carrying our money
when we are strong and healthy, and SO
abundantly able to bear the burden our
selves. For this reason we ask anybody
who has any of our money in his possession
to leave it at the Office, or send 1t by post,
freight train, express, or any other way.
Just so 1t gets here. Silver and gold are
heavy, and 1t would be a matter of life
long regret If anybody should get bow
legged carrying 1t about for US.

Children's Essays.


A boy who was required to write an ESSAY
on hens produced the following: Hens is
curious animals; they don't have no nose
nor no teeth nor ears. They swallow
their whites whole and chew it up in their
crops inside of 'em. The outside of hens is
generally put into pliers and into feather
busters. The inside of hen is sometimes
filed with marbles and shirt buttons and
SIGH. A hen is very much smaller than a
good many other animals, but they'll dig up
more tomato plants than anything that
amt a hen. Hens is very useful to lay eggs
for plum buildings. Hens have got wings
and can fly when they get frightened. / cut
off a hens head with a Ratchet and it
frightened her to death"
A little girl wrote the following essay on
boys: Boys are men that have not got as
big their papaS and girls are women that
will be ladies by-and-by. When God look
ed at Adam He said to himself, Well I
think l can do better If try again. and
He made Eve. Boys a trouble. They
wear out everything but soap. If had my
way the world would be girls and the rest
dolls My papa is so nice that I think he
must have been a little girl when he was
little boy. Man was made, and on the
seventh day he rested. Woman was then
made, and she has never rested since"
A little girl came home very late from a
morning: II am afraid, dear, you did not
say your prayers before you went to bed"
mo, mamma, did not; but knelt down
and said. o Lord, / am too tired to say my
prayers and He said. Pray don't mention
it Miss Jones. !"

LIKE MAN,idL1KE HORSE"
The Characteristics of the Owner
Often Shown in the Animal.

From the Detroit Journal.
I've always Had a notion that the horse
is like the man. In other words, that the
horse is offend what his owner makes
him. RecentlyI came across the follow
ing bit of wisdom in farm paper, and
as the writer's Ideas are exactly my own
/ cannot refraint, from quoting his
thoughts teday6. 10
The excitable 4aorseman,p he says,
will have horses jist like he is himself
The man without horse sense will have a
horse with the same poor sense The
man who is loud when driving will have
a boisterous horse, and no one ought to
blame the horse. The man who stops his
team with drawing 'w-h-o-a' will have
q team that will stop in the same manner
that is, they will take two or three
steps after they are told to- stop"
L might quote more, but enough is
enough You get the idea. What's more,
you all know living examples of the kind
of horsemen referred to. You-of course
aren't built that way; but the "other
fellow" often is. Too often And usually
he blames the horse for his own short
comings. Once in a while, probably, he
ticks old Dobbin or Jim for some fault
that in reality is his own. It isn't fair!

Whistler's Etchings.

An exhibition of Whstlers etchings has
just been opened at a Bond street gallery
which is attracting much attention
In his lifetime Whistler fought with the
critics; today he receives posthumous hon.
age from them, and the prints that were
once described as little jokes and as
lacking in culture are the JOY and envy
of collectors.
1t is said on behalf of the critics that
some of the etchings exhibited twenty
years ago were submitted in careless and
disappointing impression, ard that the art
list tacitly admitted the justice of those dis
paraging words by working on the plates
and bringing them up to a greater deli
cacy of finish
That is true, but it is not the whole truth.
1t is admitted today that Whistler's talent
as an etcher was supreme. In the contro-
versies of the sos the artist was preju-
diced by the disoutant. How admirable he
was in black and white is seen In the pres
ent collection. which is one of the finest
and most complete that has ever been
brought together.
In all the range of etching Whistler was
not less than genius. His work on cam
vas will never be accepted without quail
fication and criticism; his work in black
and white has the superb quality of mas
ter. Mr.. Frederick Wedmore was one OF
the critics pilloried in the catalogue of the
eighties. In a note on this exhibition he

shows that the arrows of the past have left
no ranking wound. for he commits him
self to the final judgment that Whistler as
etcher has, had < no equal In all the
centuries except Rembrandt and Meryon.
