agree that a "nose for news'' can not be cultivated at college.
 Some other kinds of noses may be, but the one which perceives immediately what kind of news the public Is most eager to read and know offhand how to get 1t and present 1t in an attractive way-that is something which can be trained only in a newspaper office There are differences of scent between trained newspaper men as marked. as between different breeds of dogs. and the demand for journalists who are both highly gifted and highly trained in this particular is great and in- creasing; but such men have never been made at college. and never will be.
 What are the other technicalities of journalism? can think of none except photography, typewriting and proof-read- ing. I have never met an editor-in-chief who was a shorthand writer. My col league Edwin L. Godlzin, used a type writer in the compositions of editorials In his later years. but he learned the art at his own home in hs leisure hours. Any body can learn the technical part of proof-reading in two hours, although practice is needed to acquire rapidity and accuracy. Columbia would no more think of embracing these things in her curriculum than she would of establish ing chair of headlines. chair of in- terviews, or a chair of scoops.

The Gentle Sister of Korea.
From Outing.

From Outing.
 The women of the commonalty are voluble and vixenish, and ever ready to slap handful of stars into the eyes of husband-or into those of timid and shrinking tourist-should the occa- sion arise. The women of the upper class are vigorously excluded from masculine eyes, and hearty vote of thanks Is due to the committee who fathered this unwritten law The dainty little Japanese musmee, teeter- ing along in sandals or on wooden geta, is genuine relief to the eye after view of the uncomely Korean female, and it is a pleasing reflection that Nip pon is slowly but surely spreading her standard over the Hermit Realm.
 Until Korean boys are married and acquire the pseudo dignity of the top knot. their hair is worn girl fashion in twin plaits down their backs. So much do they resemble girls that it is some times difficult to determine the sex, and one is oftentimes uncommonly sur prised to observe what he is positive are two girls sprawling and viciously fighting in a Korean street.

SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM.

Horace White Editor of the New York
 Evening Post.
 In a reply addressed to me by the edi- tor of the World some months ago. I said that could see no need of school of Journalism.
 I am. nevertheless, glad that Columbia University has been supplied with the means to establish one. This is not in tended as a paradox. Columbia already has the plant and the teaching force for the training of journalists in so far as they can be trained otherwise than by practice; but both the plant and the teaching force are susceptible of improve ment. There is no danger that they will. be overloaded by the addition of one or two million dollars to the existing re- sources If the authorities of Columbia are fit for their places. general culture will receive an impulse from MT. Pulit- gers donation, and journalism will share therein.
 Tt is quite probable too, that the ex- istence of this fund and the stir that it makes in the country will draw to Col umbia more than her usual share of young men who seek to become journal ists Although Harvard or Yale. without a school of journalism might conceiva- bly be better equipped to train men for editorial work than Columbia with one, yet the average boy would expect to get from the latter more of the kind of in- struction that he wants than from either of the former. Then Columbia. feeling an impulse in this direction, would, no doubt, be spurred to fresh exertions In her de- partments of political and social science and whatever else she might regard as most helpful to the editorial mind; and that would be a gain to general culture, including journalism.
 I maintain, however, that the university has nothing to teach journalists in the special sense that it has to teach law yers, physicians, architects and engineers. It can teach the technique of those pro- fession It cannot teach the technique of Journalism, except by publishing a newspaper in competition with other newspapers in the same town. If it should attempt to do so, MT. Pulitzer's money would probably be spent in less time than it took to earn 1t.
 The art of English composition is taught in all universities. colleges and high schools. with more or less success. The desideratum here is not a school of journalism but a good teacher. After the intending journalist has obtained as much proficiency in writing good English as he can acquire without practice under nical requirements are-what? First of all, a nose for news Tn this phrase are included the recognition, the valuation. the collection, and the arrangement of news. Every experienced journalist will

When You Have a Cold.

The first action when you have a cold
should be to relieve the lungs. This is
best accomplished by the free use of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. This
Remedy liquefies the tough mucus and
causes it's expulsion from the air cells of
the lungs, produces a free expectoration,
and opens the secretions. A complete
cure soon follows. This remedy will
cure a severe cold in less time than any
other treatment and it leaves the system
in natural and healthy condition. 1t
counteracts any tendency toward pneu-
monia. For sale by j. w. Bell, Walhalla,
