A LIBERAL EDUCATION.

The German emperor has included in the educational plan for his sons courses in business. Those of our higher educators who are prostrate in snobbish reverence before the mediae- val aristocratic educational idea should note this and bestir themselves. If the college is to grow in favor with sen sble Americans, not only must there be a recasting of it's time tables. but also a complete and radical recon struction of it's courses. There must be not a grudging. but a glad recogni- ton of the fact that the Twentieth century has at least as mush right to a place in education as the Fifth cen tury B. C.
 Some day we shall develop a college that will base itself upon these four pillars.
 Thinking and writing clearly in the English language.
 A knowledge of the history of dem ocracy of the emancipation of man.
 knowledge of taXation-the great fundamental of human society.
 A knowledge of the mechanism of busin ess-how commodities are pro duced. distributed and consumed.
 man with such an education would be both competent and cultured.-Sat- urday Evening Post.

ADJUSTMENTS

those same hearts, and new ones too. The New Orleans Picayune, says: that Kerry Cow was the sweetest bit After twenty years, he triumphed here again last night, when he played ''Ker- ny Cow" some laughed and thought that Kerry Cow was highly buoyant, land painted the lighter side of true
 Irish souls; others cried and believed
 that ''Kerrk Cow was the sweetest bit
 of pathos from Irish land, and be-
 tween the laughter and tears came the
 conviction that Joseph Murphy was a
 great actor. Kerry Cow and Joseph
 Murphy cannot be distinctly separated.
 Critics differ on the point as to the art
 of the play or the art of the man.
 Some argue that Joseph Murphy made
 the play, while others testify that the
 play made Joseph Murphy. Which of the arguments is correct is hard to say
 but it is easy for any playgoer to say
 that both Kerry Cow and Joseph Murphy are delights in the theatrical world.
 Kerry Cow is typically lrlsh' U tells of Dan O'Hara's love TOT pretty Nora Drew H @ is a farrier' warm hearted and hont est. While he uoes not cam to be brilh ant, he IS 6iIIeu 'lt. ."ItN thdt wit and acu. men whl<1i .l2 leP IL iaSa S{e 70 a high ,5Rg 5Rggacz sed in ts fop mort gage, which was >.pG;tten by Valentine
 Hay, a scoundre, who has the pre-
 sumption to declare his love for the jn-
 nocent Nora. When he is refused Hay
 leaves no stone unturned to crush the
 DrewS and OHara. He uses henchmen
 to (hide bikes in the forge of the farrier,
 and gives out the story that O'Hara
 was making those bikes for the rebels.
 That meant death in those days.
 O'Hara is arrested, but his innocence is proven after his escape. Beaten in this plot, Hay intends foreclosing, but the younger Drew has a thoroughbred, which will sell for enough money to clear the debt. provided the horse wins. Hay secures the greatest race horse of the day, and the contest is between the two animals. Drew's horse wins, the mortgage is paid and Nora and the farrier close the story with a kiss, after Hay and his llenchmen are drag ged to jail for conspiracy.
 The story itself is worth any ones attention, but MT. Murphy has en- riohed the play with the sweetest touches of nature, and dressed all with the truest bits of Irish scenery. The Drew farm is a delightful country pie ture, and the smithy offers every op- portunity for naturalness, which op- portunitIes are taken advantage of by the entire company. MT. Murphy and his helper make music on the anvil while beating red hot iron into horse shoes, and the chatter and singing and dancing are so true to life that one forgets himself and believes that MT. Murphy has taken him into his own little shop. Then the race is made ex- citing by the fact that the news is carried to the stage by carrier pigeons. Kerry Cow is natural, it is beauti- ful, and it is a pity that more such plays and more such actors as Joseph Murphy do not come here oftener.

WONDERFUL CURE
 lF SORE HANDS
Ey CuTicura After the M OSt Awful Suffering
 Ever Experienced.
EIGHT DOCTORS
And Many Remedies Failed to do a Cents Worth
 of Good.

"AboGt five years ago was troubled with sore hands, so sore that when I would put them in water the pain would very nearly set me crazy, the skin would peel of and the flesh would get hard and break. There would be blood flow ing from at least fifty places on each hand. Words could never tell the suf- fering I endured for three years. I tried everything that was told to use for fully three years, but could get no relief. I tried at least eight different doctors, but none of them seemed to do me any good, as my hands were as bad when I got through doctoring as when l first began. 1 also tried many reme- dies, but none of them ever did me one cents worth of good. I was discour- aged and heart-sore. 1 would feel so bad mornings when I got up, to think 1 had to go to work and stand the pain for ten hours, and often felt like giv- ing up my position. Before I started to work mornings I would have to wrap every fngU up separately, so as to try and keep them soft and then wear gloves over the rags to keep bno grouse HOm BebIlnS On my WorK. At night would have to wear gloves in bed. In fact, had to wear, gloves all the time. But thanks to Cuticura, the greatest of all great skin cures. After doctoring for three years, and spending much money, soc. box of Cuticurs Ointment ended all my suffer- ings. It's been two years since I used any and I don't know what sore hands are now, and never lost days work while using Cuticura Ointment"

Accuaries employed by insurance companies adopt standard method if computing prospective ages of risks. To ascertain how many pears a person of given age is ordinarily expected to live the present age is deducted from so, and two-thirds of the remainder will Indicate the likely future span of life. Actuial schedules are a unit in this system of calculation.

 No girl need carry the craze for physi- cal culture and physical development to such lengths that she will obscure all else, but there is a happy medium tliat she can follow, and which will bring its own need of reward in rounded pro- portions. grace of carriage. and, better than all, abounding health and good temper.
 The first thing is to stand correctly, and 1t IS truly astonishing how many girls have failed to master this point. In the ballet schools which flourish in connection with the great opera, houses of Europe this IS the very first step in the course of instruction-is to stand correctly, in confornance with plysio- logical laws, so that even though she have to stand for hours at a time, ia tigue, to an undue proportion, does not result
 The correct position calls for the head to be held well up and thrown slightly backward, chest thrust out shoulders back, and the abdomen held well in. This last IS an important item, and one

 Take each of these points as enumcr- ated and see that the body conforms to them. The knees must be held stiff, and the body planted firmly upon the heels and the balls of the feet equally. A plun1met line held at the chin should just touch the bust and the toes, and hang clear and free between these points A few times practicing this po- sition will eliminate the consciousness and stiffness which are sometimes appar- cnt at first
