A commission of English educators
are said to have received a very i'm
pressive lesson in democracy when
they saw in the public schools of
Washington recently, the son Of Pres
ident Roosevelt with half a hundred
other primary pupils. children of the
rich and poor, sitting on adjacent
benches. In relating the occurrence
which is matter of-fact enough to the
American citizen the Boston Journal
gets off this patriotic jolly: Here is
one of the most beneficent influences
of American life. The public school
system puts every child upon his
merit, and it does not help the child,
under our system, to be the son of the
president unless the lad is able to pre-
side also over his own mind. The
public school room, accordingly, is the
of the ready social, as dis
from the really socialistic,
citizen"

The Middlebury Register claims to
have found out that what Vermont
needs most is mothers who will in
crease her population at the rate of
four babies at one birth. A Chicago
university professor takes a different

race suicide reminds him of the fable
of the owl and the eagle. The former

Are veterinarians physicians? That
is the question before the state
commissioners under the New Hamp-

them. But if not, as the board is in
clined to think, druggists must refuse
to honor their prescriptions. The

THE SCARS OF A WOMAN.
Are Regarded by the World Very
Differently from Those OF the
Steiner Sex.

The colonel always arouses my en-
thusiasm; yet l never see him with
that black patch over his eye and that
glove with its empty fingers without
wondering why it is that the world
regards so differently the scars of men
and of women, even when those scars
have been won in an honorable service.
1 have a clever friend from the south
who, as a girl and when the war had
closed, worked in her fathers tobacco
fields, over the horses and over the
broken-down fences, until comfort
reigned at home again, and she took to-
letters as profession. 1 saw her once
hold up her toil-worn hands, full of
scars, with each joint out of shape,
while she said to me, laughingly: sit is
quences of our sins than to get away
from the records of our virtues"
That is the trouble, 1 suppose. Ira
dition has done nothing for her, and so
the records of a woman's virtues have
to be explained. A man with an arm
or leg missing, especially if he be an
erect man, instantly arouses thought
of heroism-unless, of course, one has
lived in the neighborhood of trolleys
and certain spontaneous enthusl-
asm for the man, like that which the
colonel inspires, takes possession of
the beholder. Such a quickening OF
the pulse before the signs and tokens of
an unknown woman's misadventures
would be an impossibility, and a silk
patch over one of her eyes, like that
which the colonel wears, would excite
pity rather than applause
Then there are the manners of some
successful women who by their own
endeavors have Won a way in the world,
writes Mrs. French, in Century. What
scars these manners are on an engag-
ing womanliness-first a grace lost in
the conflict. then a gentleness. Had
man suffered these losses, who would
reckon them when the sum of his sue
cesses was told? And how convincing
the very brusqueness and energy and
even the lack of softness in his manner
would be! We would believe in him a
once. But in a woman, and perhaps.
wisely-who can tell?-these>si signs and
tokens of an heroic struggle into which
necessity alone may have driven her
are counted as disfgurements, and the
record of each of her virtues has to be
explained, like the trousers of Rose
Bonheur, if their exercise has involved
the sacrifice of a single feminine habit.
The records of her pleasure are other
concerns so long as fashion approves.
Her hair may be sunburned, but it must
not be because she has chosen to de-
prive herself of a bonnet for the bene-
fit of some pauper. And her hands may
be large and muscular, but the muscles
must be those developed by an outdoor
sport, not those which any manual la
Dor indoors has strengthened, even
when that labor has been undertaken
because of grim poverty.
