the ball. fumbled it. and Parry of Chi
cago picked it up. ran twenty-five yards
for touchdown and kicked goal
Neither, team was able to score in the
first half.

Rothgeb. in the second half. the ball was
carried to Chicagos twenty-yard line BY

gradually advanced the ball to the one
yard line. and Fairweather was pushed
over for weI1-earned touchdown.

TETANUs Is DECREASING.

IT GIVES US pleasure to call atten-
l ton TO a report. in the Journal of
the American Medical association, on
the number of cases Of lOckiaw caused
by independence Day accidents this
year as compared with last year. be-
cause the report shows decided dim
inution in the fatalities. There were
only Jos cases this year as against AIS
in 1908. The decrease is attributed TO
the educational campaign that has beer
carried OH by physicians and others.
They have showed that the blank
cartridge wound is prolific cause of
lockjaw. The result has been that in
many cities the sale Of pistols for blank
cartridges has been absolutely pro-
hihited. Again. methods Of minimizing
the danger from wounds liable to cause
lockjaw have been fully explained.
Parents are much more careful now in
the treatment OF wounds. They are not
cared for in the usual fashion that long
prevailed in households. a bit of salve
and a rag, but a physician is sum
moned and the wound is dressed in
the most approved fashion.
The Journal has prepared a table
showing the distribution of tetanus this
year as compared with last, as follows:

DE KoRosr TO THE RESCUE.


n7. J. DE KOROSY, director Of mu~
- nicipal statistics in Budapest, does
not belong TO the ranks of those who
believe that women are intellectually
inferior to men. In support of his
theory that women are at least equal
with, and perhaps superior, TO men
mentally. Or. de Korosy submits some
figures he has been compiling from the
public school records.
During the last twenty-seven years
he has been receiving reports from the
schools Of Budapest. In this period he
has analysed sos, $50 cases. They are
selected at random from the various
grades and include boys and girls Of
from 10 20 years OF age. In the ele-
mentary schools 16.S per cent Of the
boys and 1873 per cent OF the girls
failed 20 pass their yearly examination
and were thus required TO so over their
work again.
The percentage OF failures in the
fourth grade was 122 for boys and 90
for girls, In the sixth grade the show
ing was worse for the boys, being Al
against 81. But the worst showing Of
all was in the higher elementary
schools, where G. per cent OF the boys
and % per cent Of the girls failed TO
pass. These figures, DR.. de KOrosy be-
lieves, are sufficient to prove that men
and women are Intellectually equal.
We have no doubt that a similar
showing could be made from statistics
gathered in the public schools OF this
country. But, with all due Difference
TO DR.. de Korosy. we venture to sug-
gest that he has not demonstrated any
thing OF real value. It is a generally
known fact that girls are better
students than boys. that is, up TO a
certain age. They learn more readily
and they take greater interest in their
studies. Indeed, they have fewer dis
fractions than boys and they are, as a.
rule, more conscientious.
The Herald is not prepared to say
that the average man has more brains
than the average woman. We do say
however, that DR.. de Korosy, having
taken the opposite side, has failed to
make out a case.

Defoe, the author of Robinson

man who had from five to fifteen
wives; indeed, he says that some had
more. DefOe adds that q merry fell

the process went on. DefOe is careful
to state that his merry informer

his own wives; but he declares that
the general statement is perfectly true.
Shakespearean commentators have
wondered why the poet placed the
SccllcS VI 1ddulieL at ElSlnOre, IN fhe
island OF Zealand, whereas the Danish
prince lived and died in Jutland. But
recently the municipal authorities at
Elsinore have discovered in tkeir
archives that an English company was
acting in their town i'm 1857 or 1855. and
among the names of the actors are
several of those who were acting with
Shakespeare in London in 1889. Obvi-
ously. these actors must have talked
about their adventures in Denmark.
and so Shakespeare became well ac-
Guainted with Eisinore. and when Re
wrote Hamlet" naturally placed tba

description rather than in a place of
which he knew nothing.

most optimistic. but those who succeed
never waste time asking if they can
do this thing or that.
II the thing is worth doing at all
they try. Then, il they fail, they have
at least done what they could That
is all that can be asked of any human
being. Nobody knows what he can do
until he has made the effort. 1t world
surprise some of the doubters if they
could know how absurdly easy it is to
do a seemingly hard thing when they
make an honest trial. There is no
fixed rule for solving the problem Of
success. Some try and try again, keep
on trying as long as life is III them.
and then they go down into the books
OF their friends and of the world as
failures.
But are they, after all. failures? May
il not be true that their example has
caused others 70 try and to succeed,
who might not have tried at all? Be
sides, success in life cannot properly
be measured in wealth, in political in
fiuence. in fame that reaches far be-
yond the borders of ones own little
circle. No man who has done mis-
honest. earnest best. who has used
his talent wisely. may be said to have
failed. even though lie leaves nothing
but the memory Of an honorable life
for a few friends TO cherish.
It is not necessary to wait until Our
eyes are opened in another world be-
fore the reward OF trying comes. There
is only. one real consolation for the
man who tries and fails. That lies
in the knowledge that they nave done
what they could.
