A curious story is told of Darwin and
snakes. He used to go into the Lon
don Geological society's gardens. Re

case containing the cobra de capello,
put his forehead against the glass while
the cobra struck out at him. The glass
was between them. Darwin's mind was
perfectly convinced as to the inability
of the snake to harm him, yet he would
always dodge. Time after time he
tried it, his will aud reason keeping
him there, his instinct making him
dodge. The instinct was stronger than
both will and reason.

 You can not keep up a system of edu- cation for very. very small per-ecent- age: and if that is the only defense of classical education, I think it will have to be abandoned except for the few who are qualified to derive all the immense advantages which to the few they are capable of imparting

EDUCATION
 IS NOW IMPRACTlCABlE

which Is that not simply of teaching classes, but of influencing a house and impressing moral and intellectual char acteristics on those committed to his charge.
 I think we have not yet arrived at the ideal system of the ideal character c, secondary and public school education. I do think we are on much more solid ground when we come to the educa- tion with which we have got to deal, and especially and chiefly do I say that we are on absolutely secure ground when we are dealing with postgraduate edu- cation. We know exactly what we want when dealing with postgraduate educa- ton, and 1t is our business to see that the students who desire it have, and that the opportunity of those who desire it is augmented so far as influence will go.
 I dare say that many of us have looked back with certain regret, ane a certain feeling of shame, to the medieval passion for learning without fee and without re- Ward-with no desire to make the uni- versailles stepping stones to good places or to successful mercantile or industrial undertakings-bu with an ideal which made thousands of students from every country in Europe undergo those hard ships which would be regarded in these days as absolutely intolerable, for the sole purpose of seeking, and it might be finding, the great secret of knowledge.
 We despise, and we perhaps rightly de- spise their methods. We know that they were not in touch with the actual real ities of the world in which they lived. Yet, after all, We have something to learn from them; and If we in these days could initiate their disnterested passion for knowing and for extending the bounds of knowledge, surely we, with our better methods and our clearer appre- citation of what we can know and what we can not know might accomplish things as yet undreamed of

WOMEN ON THE ROAD.
In Not a Few Important Lines the "Fe-
 male Drummer" Is Successful.

From the Seattle Times.
 As the great commercial enterprises of the United States expand they also change business methods in many i'm portant particulars, one of which is the entrance of women into the ranks of employees. It is said that there are more than fifty women "drummers' in the United States in the employ of commercial houses. It Is the opinion of some of these saleswomen that all of the members of her sex could do well as commercial travellers if they would make the effort. They say the work is hard, but no harder than that of the clerk who stands behind the counter all day.
 Without doubt there are some lines of trade that can be better represented by women than by men. Many women are known to possess capable business talent and the ability and persistence to make a success of what they under take. A Minneapolis woman who is on the road makes a salary of about STOOD a year She represents a Chicago cor set house---though many women drum mers" make a success at selling flour, soap, salt, etc.
 In the matter of closing a business deal it is easy to imagine how woman might succeed fully as well as a man. But the man solicitor resorts to a num- Der of familiar expedients to catch his customer that must be deucedly incon- venient for woman. For instance, the practice of coaxing a dealer into the adjoining saloon and buying him cigars or drinks as preliminary to opening up line of samples.
 Then there are the heavy hours in small town after the merchants have all been worked, while waiting for the next train. A travelling man can take another and go down to the club and enjoy a game of poker and no one makes note of the occurrence, but the lone woman traveller would hardly risk the reputation of her self and her

maltreatment of a number of innocent people. we ask the czar whether he can- not do something for them in the name of humanity. If there is anything that should be kept free from the faintest shadow of a suspicion of self-seelxing 1t is this. On the other hand, we have a question of trade-of dollars and cents. We want a chance to sell cotton goods and kerosene to the people of Manchuria. This is a business matter, to be discussed on the strictest business principles. But apparently it has seemed shrewd to the President to say: 'We know you don't like to hear about those murdered Jews at Kisheneff so if you don't let our cali- coes and kerosene into Manchuria we will just keep on nagging you about the massacres."
 Perhaps that may be skillful diplomacy, but to the average mind 1t looks like neither good ethics nor good business. It deprives our Kisheneff interference of all moral force, degrading it into a mere bargaining trick, and it deprives our Manchurian negotiations of any advant- ages we might have gained from Russian good will.

Upton May Lift lt-lf.

From the New York Press.
 A thoroughly patriotic American and a sportsman to the marrow says; T am willing to let Sir Thomas Lipton lift the cup on one condition, namely, that he leaves it on this side to be bat tied for in American waters. To re quire us to go hunting for it in Eng fish waters would deprive 100000 of our citizens of the pleasure of witness ing the contests, take million dollars a year out of the pockets of our steam boat owners. and probably two millions out of the tills of our merchants who fit out yachts and steamers"

kalser's Ideal for Women.
CT Democrat.

From the Rochester Democrat.
 'Hoch der kaiser!" My Daughter" !" he says, must be a model German housewife and be able to fry sausage, roast joint, or bake a cake as though she had to earn her living as a cook. She must be a womanly woman of the good old-fashioned sort" TO that end Emperor William has had a kitchen fitted up for Princess Victoria Louise. The princess, if she proves apt to learn domestic accomplishments, will never lack offers of marriage. Should there be no eligible royal party in Europe, there are plenty of American noblemen looking for the kind of wife the kaiser promises she will be. Let American parents in this respect emulate the emperors ex- ample and strive to make of their daugh- ters womanly women "of the good old fashioned sort" Happily this country has not run out of that kind of women. They are to be found in every American community.

house by indulging in that form of amusement.
 However, women can adapt them selves to conditions quite as success fully as men. Most women would probably not make a success on the road-but most men do not. The ex- perience of the last twenty years dem onstrates that when woman sets out to do a thing the percentage of fail ures are no greater than those regis tered by the lords ot creation, who, at one time, thought they possessed Q monopoly of the business capacity of the race. Woman will "git there" if she be given lne opportunity.

 Of all the western interests who have lately become prominent in Wall street affairs the Rock Island party alone has held it's own against this powerful bank ing syndicate. The leaders of this party financed their Rock Island deal at the apex of the bull market without paying commission to anybody for and service commission to anybody for any service their part that caused a momentous dis play of hostility toward the Rock Island deal at the outset The Messrs. Moore and their associates have been out of the market for several months. Having put their Rock Island deal through (and it was about the last big deal to be smooth ly flnanced) they were shrewd enough to stop. They afterward arranged the St. Louis and San Francisco deal, but that involved no money requiring merely an exchange of stocks They further strengthend the system this week by taking over the Evansville and Terre Haute and the Evansville and Indiana and will devote undivided attention the next two years to the physical upbuild- ing of the 16.000 miles of road owned and controlled. About $10Oo000O year will be put into road hetterments from net earnings until the system is brought to the highest possible state of efficiency. This Is essentially the policy being pur- sued by E.
