Hon. WHITKLAw REID ,-TAlitor +,

Hon. WHITRLAw REID ,-Ttlitor of
the Now York Tribune and Chan
cellor OF the University ofNew York,
has revived the educational problem.
In recent address he declares that
the public schools are not worth
what they cost. They are not bring
ing forth the results we have a right
to expect. He claims with much
truth that the pupils of today are not
getting the training they should in
the elementary branches of learning
The three RS that our fathers
considered the fundamental part Of
the educational structure are neg
lected for more ornamental studies
1t would seem that the educators OF
today In their efforts to get away
from old fashioned methods have SO
overdone the matter that the real
foundation Of useful education is
almost lost to sight. Much has been
said in criticism of the "frills" of ed
ucation and we think that Chancellor
Reid only voices the opinion OF
many, when he says that so wide
departure from old methods is not
producing good results. The graded
school of the modern times grinds
at its mass of pupils and finally the
high school graduates anything but y
finished product. Writing that en-
tirely lacks individuality, spelling
that would cause our grandmothers to
smile, lack of knowledge Of the
history OF our country that is painful !;
these are few Of the educational de-
fciencies that confront us and should
be remedied. The schools cost an
immense sum Of money and the tax
payer has a right TO expect more
practical and satisfactory results.

CONGRESSMAN CAPRoN in re-
cent address pointed out as a proof
OF the country's great prosperity
under Republican rule that the per
capita wealth has increased very ma
terially in the last eight years. This
is doubtless a fact, but it is also true
that the wealth of the country
10 becoming more concentrated;
that is, it is rapidly getting into few
ar hands. While this may not be the
fault of the Republican party, it is a
bad state Of things. A nations
prosperity depends OH the prosperity
of the masses. A condition Of
things that helps the rich to grow
richer and is grinding the poor to
worse poverty, is anything but pleas
ant to contemplate. We quote the
following from the Boston Post:
"The great city of New York is a
barometer of social conditions.
There the death rate has risen from
1918 last year to zs.24 for the first
xix months of the present year. The
total deaths for 1903 were 81, 900,
while for half of 1904 they were
$4,000. And this the officials of
the health department attribute to
increasing poverty and the lack of
proper food and clothing. The lack
Of food is due to high prices, as OF
clothing. Wages may not have
fallen in all industries, but the same
wages today will not buy more than
two-thirds as much food as they
would two or three years ago. The
poor have to scrimp themselves, and
bodies weakened from lack Of nour-
ishing food succumb readily to dis
ssse.

FARMERS MONTH
AT WORLDS FAIR
Biggest Department of the Great Exposl-
ton Ready For the Inspection Of the
Army Of Men Who Made It's
Creation Possible.

Now that crops have been or are be
ing laid by, the farmer prepares for his
trip TO the Worlds Fair, treat that
has long been promised him and for
which he has patiently waited. No ex-
position has offered so many induce
ments for the farmers presence ms this
one at st. Louis, nor has any previous
exposition given the prominence and
space to the subject of agriculture.
August and September are ostcnsibly
the farmers months at the Exposition,
for II Is at this season that the agricul-
ture exhibits are the freshest and best.
Products Of the new crops are pouring
into the booths from every state In the
Union, and additions are constantly
being made 10 the gorgeous display.
Headquarters for visiting farmers
may be found in every state section Of
the great Agriculture Palace, but for
their special convenience there has just
been completed Grange House, stu
ated I'm the south end Of the building.
II Is equipped with a reception room,
ladies' retiring rooms and check rooms,
where parcels may be left free Of
charge. Here will be kept n list Of
moderate priced rooms TO MD visiting
farmers and their families i'm procuring
accommodations
The largest building on the grounds
is the Palace Of Agriculture, covering
twenty acres, while the Palace Of IIor.
ticuture near by covers about n third
as much space. These two immense
structures are filled with exhibits Of
the farm, garden and orchard Of the
most extensive and elaborate character,
every state In the Union and most Of
the principal countries of the world
being represented.
Agriculture Is given more prominence
than any other department at the hN-
position, the paramount Importance Of
this great industry having been fully
appreciated from the very beginning
OF the Worlds Fair movement.
About seventy acr0s Of ground are
covered by the agriculture and horti-
culture department ut the Fair, large
outdoor spaces being devoted TO this
industry. Outside there are growing
crops, trees and flowers, nm instructive
six acre farm maintained by the Unit
ed States Government Plant Industry,
and gardens I'm all parts of the grounds
There are more exhibits In the Agri
culture building than in any other see
ton Of the Exposition. This building
Is considered by many people the most
interesting part of the Worlds Fair
The exhibits i'm the palaces Of Agri
culture and Horticulture constitute Il
display vast enough nnd instructive

There Are Five Of Them. and Each
Has It's own Duty.
In their antennac, or fcc.crs, ants
have five noses, each Of which has its
own duties 10 perform.
One nose tells the ant whether II is
In It's own nest or that Of an enemy;
another nose disriminatcs between
OdOrs Of ants Of the same species, but
Of different colonies; a third nasal or
gan serves the purpose Of discerning
the scent laid down by the ants own

the way quite easily; a fourth nose
smells the larvae ana pupac. and the
fifth nose detects the presence Of an
enemy.

will fight the alien TO the death. There
Is a dincrcncc>Tn the functions Of nose
one and nose five, although they ap-

This sense Of smell does not come
till the ants are three days old. IT,
therefore, ants only twelve hours old
are placed among others belonging to
different colonies, they will grow up
quite amicably and not understand
that they are mixed lot, because
they will have grown up with IDEAS Of

RELIC FROM THE STONE AGE

In Somcrsctfhirc, England may be
seen many "barrpws,' buryng places

when tile elephant and rhinOccros, the
lion and benr, the hycna and wolf, the
great elk ana the reindeer were among
the common animals Of England, prlm-
tive man aud savage beasts lived in
caves I'M this region.
At the entrance 10 these caves the
aborigincs, clad in skins. kept fires
burning for warmth ana for protection
from the wild beasts. It was here that
they made flint hatchcts, knives and
arrowhcads. Not long ago trench
was being dug within the mouth Of one
Of these caves for the purpose Of drain
ing.
II was found necessary 10 break up u
stalapmitc floor of two thick layers
Between the layers was deposit Of
cave earth ana stones in which was
discovered the skeleton Of n man Of

tiOn of the skull, which has projecting
