"A cab in which Franz Won Defreg-

collision with an electric car, and the
eminent artist was thrown out and his
right arm was broken. The doctors,
however, assured him that no perma-

The youngest King in the world is
Daudi Chua, King of Uganda, who is
now about 8. He holds his court seat
ed on a scarlet throne, with a leopard
skin mat under his feet, and bearing
in his hand a toy gun. The British
exercise a protectorate over the young
King and his kingdom and have es-
tablished for him a sort of parlia-
ment, which he opens regularly with
much pomp. Little Daudi Chua speaks
English and gives state dinners, at
which there is curious mixture of At

though the royal table is supplied with
fine linen, cut glass and silver brought
from London.

The Brave Little Man.

From Leslies Monthly
All torn, but sweet, is the old straw
hat,
AS it hangs on the rack in the hall.
There's mud from home on two little
shoes
Where he played on the hills last
fall;
There's dust on the kite and the little
stick horse
Stands still as ever he can,
Listening, perhaps, in the corner there
For the voice of the brave little man.
There's never a song of bird, nor
bloom
OF rose that blows in the spring,
Nor shout of boy, nor CLEAN of sun
But where some tears will cling
There's never a flash of the evening
star
On the hearthstone's fireside
OF winter night but will bring some
tears
For the brave little man that died.
Kind friends they were; We kiss them
for him.
And lay them out of sight
The two little shoes, the torn old hat,
The little stick horse and kite:
And down in his pocket a rusty nail.
A bit of chalk and string,
A broken knife, an alley or two,
Oh! the birds, the bloom, and the
spring?
And star of God at mornings song.
Noon time and twilight tide,
One sweet little face, some tears will
come
For the brave little man that died.

Some months ago d commission of
Englishmen. headed by Mr.. Alfred
Moseley investigated the common
schools of the United States. Mr..
Moseley reached the conclusion that
the gravest fault to be found with the
American common school system was
that there were too few male teachers
employed. Last September a commits
sion of New York educators was APP
pointed to investigate the primary
school system of that state and report
on it to the Board of Education. The
commission has made its report, and 1t
sustains the position taken by Mr..
Moseley with respect to the desirable
ity of having a greater number of men
teaching in the schools. The report
asserts that the influence of women
teachers on boys over ten years of age
is "antagonistic to the upbuilding of
strong manhood" and recommends
that in large cities only male teachers
be employed to teach boys of ten and
over.
Imitation is an important force in
the education of the young. The teach
er is regarded by the pupil as person
to be copied in actions and motives.
If the teacher is of strong, positive
character, to a greater or less extent
that character will be reflected in the
pupils who sit at the teachers feet
for instruction. 1t is a woman's nature
70, ha NV aud xiTfnp that
cannot be too highly commended. How
can the boy pupil be taught manliness
by the teacher who does not and can
not possess it herself? The commits
sion says: The woman influences the
boy through a personal motive alto
gether. The sentimental question ever
is, Now. won't you perform this task
for me- The boys feelings are used
as a constant lever for all action. The
man never appeals to the boy in this
right and justice: You should do 50
and so because it is right, or more
beneficial Women prefer to follow,
and are willing to do so without any
reason for such action. They lack ini-
tiative."
The report from which we quote was
written by men. from the standpoint
of men who are themselves teachers,
hence there is the possibility
of a little prejudice having crept into
it; nevertheless it calls attention to a
matter that is worthy the consideration
of educational boards everywhere. Sta
tistics show that throughout the United
States 81 per cent. of all teachers are
women, and that about 30 per cent.
of the boys leave school without COM
ing into contact with a single male
teacher. There are fewer male teach
ers in the country now than there
were fifteen years ago. and the ten
dency is towards a still further in
crease in the proportion of women
teachers. There are $500 children in
the elementary schools to one male
teacher. In the high schools of New
York there are two female teachers to
one male. and in the colleges where
twenty-five years ago the teachers
were all men there are now 10 per
cent. of women teachers.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
Qnd) thus quotes and comments:
The day will, believe, come when
the sweet potato will furnish the
starch of the world. The possibilities
of the potato are far beyond anything
at present realized. So said DR.. Har-
vey w. Wiley, chief of the Bureau of
Chemistry In the Agricultural Depart
ment at Washington, in reply to the
appeal of Congressman Brantley of
Georgia that the government, having
developed the possibilities of the
sugar cane syrup industry of his state,
South Carolina, Florida and Alabama,
should make a somewhat similar study
of the sweet potato. The newspapers
of these four states rejoice that DR..
Wiley has agreed to use his influence
to secure an allotment of funds in the
next agricultural appropriation bill
through which the possibilities of max
ing sweet potatoes another great money
crop for the South may be shown"
The indianapolis News (Dem.) says:
1--WE wonder if the American people
will not one day ask themselves how
great a sacrifice they are to be called
on to make in the Philippine expert
ment. They have already spent mil
lions of money and given hundreds of
valuable lives. And the end has not
yet been reached. A few days ago
Lieut.. Harper and thirty-nine men
were ambushed by several hundred
Moros, when two officers and fifteen
men were killed, and five men were
wounded. This is a small matter. of
course, and yet is the killing of seven
teen Americans a small matter? I'm
doubtedly if any considerable good
were 10 be accomplished, but what
is the good in this case? The Moros
have got along very we'll for hundreds
of years without any help from us.
They harmed no one but themselves.
Apparently they were happy and con-
tented. They did not and do not, as
far as one can see want civilization.
But they must have it. and so we
are going to force it on them. 1t has
been shown that they do not wish us
to govern them. but we are going to
do IL. anyhow. And the result is that
I'm doing what we are under no obli-
cation to do, what the people imme-
diately affected do not wish US TO do,
our brave soldiers must lose their
lives"

The Professional Gentleman,

During a recent exhibition of pic
lures in Burlington House. London, a
lady noticed on two visits a striking
looking man. whose face she remem-
bered to have seen at previous exhi-
billions. Il am sure he is a famous
artist-he has the air of an Academi-
cian," she said to her husband; 'he
is always here, catalogue in hand; he
must devote his day to the study of
these masterpieces: see him now turn
ing wistfully away from that Eyre
Grove" At this moment an Acad-
emician whom they knew passed, and
the lady called attention to what she
thought must be a flattering fanati-
cism. The Academician, who did not
seem to be so gratified as she expect
ed, said he knew the gallery hunter.
He was pressed to communicate his
knowledge. ooh, that" he said, lis
the detective we employ to keep an
eye on pickpockets."

what is love?" was the burning
question asked by the company of I'm
mortals, says Tom Mason in Life.
Love-" said the landlady, 'is that
power so subtle as to defy analysis,
which draws two people together who
cannot afford it, and enables me to
fill my third-story front"
Love" said the society woman, lis
the alliance of two families in such a
manner as to produce the fewest Off
spring and then cut the greatest
swath."
Said the psychologist; Love is that
set of sensations which, finding their
way through the afferent nerves, slim
ulate certain ganglionic centers of the
occipital portion of the brain, and ex-
tend upward through the higher areas
of cerebral consciousness 1t is purely
subjective in it's action, and while it
has no regular synthesis, being ex-
tremely diverse in all of its aspects, it
seems to be subject to some higher
dehnitive law, as yet undetermined"
Said the college graduate: Love
is the supreme folly"
Said the octogenarian: Love is
eternal"
Said the theologian: Love is that
divine force, co-existent with Jehovah,
that has dwelt in the hearts of men
since the shepherds have watched their
flocks and which enables us to force
every one to believe in our own par
ticular views, even if we have to do
it with the edge of the sword"
Said the actress: Love is an angel
with plenty of money"
Said the bachelor: Love is an
amusement"
Said the married man: Love is the
dearest thing in the world. It's the
only thing that prevents me from liv-
ing within my income"
Said the widow: Love is constant
in it's change"
Said the dressmaker: without love
l should go out of business, Love
pays all my bills"

A Short Ride.

P. A. B. Widener. the traction mag
nate of Philadelphia, told the other
day a story of the boyhood of his son,
Joseph, says the New York Tribune.
when Joe." he said, was little
fellow, visitor, calling at my house
one day, found him in the drawing
room, busy with the drawing room
chairs, which he had ranged in a row.
The visitor sat down on one of the
chairs and Joe demonstrated.
" Here, he said, this is a train of
cars
Very we'll, said the visitor, I'll be
a passenger
But Joe didn't want this grown
up man for a passenger, and so he
said:
" Where do you want to get off?
Chicago was the reply.
:" All right said Joe. This is Chi
cago'

Because the cotton mills in the South
haven't made much money during the
last year it doesn't follow that there
isn't room for more such mills in the
Southern states. There is room for
mills enough to manufacture very
much larger part of the cotton crop
than is at present manufactured in
the South.
Last week Mr.. Cortelyou, the Sec
rotary of Commerce and Labor, read
"a paper before the American Manu-
facturers' Association, which was at
the time in session in Washington, d.
c., in which he pointed out that the
import demand for manufactured cot
ton was about $500, 900, 900 a year, and
that of this demand the United States
supplied only about $25,000000. In
view of the fact that they furnish near
ly three-fourths of the raw material
why shouldn't they supply at least one
half of the demand for the manufac-
tured goods?
Ought not cotton goods of all grades.
except perhaps the very finest, be man
ufactured at less cost in the South
than elsewhere in the world? 1t may
be that owing to the cheap labor of
China and Japan cotton goods can be
manufactured in those countries cheap
er than they can be in this, but when
the transportation charges for the raw
material are added, the advantage they
have in the matter of cheap labor
ought to be overcome by our possession
Of the raw material.
No doubt the increase in the number
of cotton mills in the South in the last
ten years has been very great, but that
is no reason why 1t shouldn't be even
greater during the next ten than IL
was the last ten. We should export
the manufactured cotton rather than
the raw material. BY doing so the
South could add 100000. 900, or more
to her wealth annually. Let the build
ing of cotton mills in the South go on,
but let the mills be built faster than
they have been. The labor will be
found as fast as the mills are COM
pleted.

BIRDS AND THE FARMER.

Bird study during the past few years
has tended TO show that the farmer has
no better and more useful friends than
his feathered visitors, Notwithstanding
he often treats them with scant con-
sideration. 1t has been asserted by
a recent writer that no fruit grower
or gardener can expect to combat sue
cessfully his insect rivals without the
help of birds. and that the more we
improve our agricultural methods and
multiply our garden crops the more
we stimulate the development of pestl-
ferrous insects. Further. 1t is sald:
I'VE believe that not only is the sue
cess of our farmers dependent. upon
the help Of the birds. but we believe
that without them man would have 10
vacate the land. The robins, the spar
rows, the grosbeaks ana most OF the
thrushes destroy vast quantities OF
pests. while the goldhnches and other
seed-eaters are of almost equal use III
destroying the seeds of noxious weeds.
The swifts and the night hawks. (bull
BATS, who sweep the air of moths and
troublesome insects, are of equally NIX
ed value"
1t will be observed that the birds
that are spoken of so highly as the
farmers friends are common. non
game birds, which have up TO within
the recent past been regarded of so lit
tie value that their slaughter has been
permitted without hindrance: nor is
there at present a great deal of pro-
lection given to them. A recent bulle-
tin of the Department of Agriculture
calls attention to the fact that 80 per
cent. of existing legislation is IN be-
half of game birds, instead OF song
birds and insect and seed eaters that
do not rank with either game or song
birds; yet the song birds and insect
eaters make up more than so per cent.
of the bird tribe valuable to the farm
er and fruit grower. Very few OF
the game birds are of benefit about
the farm or orchard: practically all
OF the others spend nearly all OF the
time between suns seeking moths
worms and other insect pests among
the trees and plants.
There are birds that feed on fruits,
to be sure, and they sometimes prove
annoying; but it is probably fact that
they earn more than the value OF the
fruit they eat in their destruction OF
harmful insects and weeds. Meanwhile
II is easy to keep them away from
the fruit trees by providing for them
at the ripening time something that
they like better than Strawberries
peaches. plums, etc. Prof. Beal of
Michigan says that birds prefer null
berries and shadberries to strawber-
ries and cherries. They will eat elder
berries and chokeberries in preference
TO raspberries and blackberries, and
will leave a peachtree any time to
peck away on Virginia creeper. 1t
is economy, in his opinion, to plant
for the birds in the fence corners,
hedges and other waste places and thus
encourage them to live about the farm
and orchard,
