Flattery of Our s'New Generation -

= 1dUUeTy OF ObE new ptueTiiloH.'
The studied rsaglect on the part of
Europe for all things American is a by
gone and one we can well afford to let
be bygone if Frau Bertha Won SUIT
ncr of Austria represents the best opin-
ion over the watrt. Frau Won Suttner
was the Austrian delegate to the peace
congress last year and since her return
to Europe has been opening the eyes of
the continent to some truths about
American people. taeir ideals and insti-
tutions. She says:
The new generation which is growing
up over there, with their slender tall,
muscular figures. their minds thirsting for
knowledge, their refined manners-what
this generation will show the world is
certain to justify the expressions used re-
Gently with regard to tlle United States by
some foreign writer's the land of the fu-
ture, the land of unlimited possibilities,
almost the land of ialpossibilities over
come.
The good qualities praised by Frau
Won Suttner are not OF recent develop
ment However, it would be foolish to
look back to the past if our youngsters
are to be estimated with common sense
and fairness across the water. Better
late than never.

There is nothing suspicious in the
fact that the title of general is 50
often brought before the public eye in
one way or another these days. There
were over 1000 generals commissioned
in the Federal army alone during the
civil war. The Confeleracy was not
stingy about general commissions eli
ther Then there are the regular army,
the Spanish war volunteers, the pro-
visional army of the Philippines and
the militia of all the states. Every two
or three years each Of the forty-liye
new state administrations appoints two
or more staff officers with the rank of
general. The title sticks upon whom it
once lights, the same as colonel and
Judge in the south, bTt with better
reason, for a1 a rule it is legitimate.

The number of Yale graduates who
are busy in other than strictly learned
pursuits shows that higher education
does not necessarily lead to bookish-
ness. About % per cent of the grad
yates now in active life have taken tc
manufacturing and commercial pur~
suits. There are 254 farmers among the
graduates as against $50 journalists
and authors, few more manufacturers
than doctors and as many financiers as
ministers. The law holds the greatest
number. but the lawyers are outnum1
bered by those engaged in nonprofes-
sional callings.

schoolteaching and It's Rewards.

Does schOolteaching payE' Is ques-
ton which finds various answers, but
mostly negative ones, in the mouths Of
the teachers themselves, says Arthur
Goodrich in Leslie's Magazine. ANY
man who has brains enough to earn
$1,000 a year teaching" declared one
teacher TO Mr. Goodrich, can make
$4,000 4 year doing something else"
Another, a high school principal, de-
cried his vocation not because of its
small financial returns, but because a
man likes respect and reputation
among men, and few men respect a
schoolteacher." Only one out of elev-
en- teachers interviewed by Mr.. Good
rich felt satisfied with his work. Il
make enough money" this one said,
probably as much as l could in an
other profession. l imagine the ma
jority of people respect me as much
as l respect the majority of people. l
find a great deal Of satisfaction in my
work, and few even wealthy men have
as long vacation
No professional course of study is re-
quired of man who is to teach. The
qualifications as outlined by well
known superintendent are: First, cnar-
acter; second, scholarship-a university
education if possible; third, physical
health; fourth, aptitude Yet it is
difficult to find enough good teachers,
according to the statements of super
intendents, and difficult to keep them
when once obtained. But a small per-
centace of college graduates take up
teaching, and many of these go into
other lines of work at the first oppor-
tunity. Out of a graduating class of
$50 at Princeton last year but twelve
expressed an intention to teach.
This eviGent prejudice against teach
ing as a profession is hard for an out
sider to understand unless it be due to
the same Spirit Of unrest which makes
men of every profession find fault with
their lives. 1t is dou' tful if the aver
age doctor or lawye- finds more pleas
urc in his work than the average teach
or does in his. The schoolteacher is gen
sons. and as II salaries, while they range
for women and men from $500 year to
5000. the average salary of men
teachers in plblic schools in New Jer-
seq. for example, is SS7 month. The
average income of the doctors of the
United States has been estimated at
$50 year.
Beyond tic question of money there
is an indirect reward for the school
teacher which flcn of other professions
have not The doctor may point to re-
markable curcs the lawyer to the win
ming of a great law case but the sue
ccssful teacher has an army of wit
nesses, themselves doctors and lawyers
and business men, whose success is in
part his own. whose minds he has
nodded, whose impulses he has stead
led, whose ambitions he has encour-
aged. Herein lies his real reward.
As for the future of the teacher, with
the growing consolidation of schools,
the tendency eXterding even into the
rural districts, his position becomes
more permanent ant his chances of adj
vancement better. IN the larger cities
teachers are pensicned after long serv-
ice. Men have faiad in every profess
sion. and there are perhaps as many
who have found te1ching worth while
as those who have succeeded in other
lines

S1.OO Per Year
Let the Girls Be GIRLS.

The question so often discussed In
addresses and papers devoted to the
training of the young. what shall we
do with our girls7' can be met in all
seriousness with the question, "Why
not let them be girls?' The clever wo-
man poet, Ella Wheeler Wilcox, whose
pen is active in the cause of social re-
form, recently took issue with the prop
osition of the New York school authori-
ties to train girls with boys and like
boys. 1t is proposed to educate girls
of twelve to fourteen years of age in
classes with boys under men teachers
and a man principal. To this Mrs. VIII
cox objects in her editorial corner Of
the American. She says: There is no
time in the life of woman, from the
cradle to old age, when she needs the
careful guidance, by precept and exam
pie, of the best of her sex as during the
years specified. That is to woman
hood like the awakening of spring to
the earth. A frost in the young May
orchard spoils the summer fruit.
wrong influence in the early years be-
tween childhood and young girlhood
spoils the woman" Mrs. Wilcox adds
that young girls could but be forced
into precocious tendencies if placed in
continual association with the opposite
sex during that important stage of
their development.
The subject is open to wide differ
cnccs of opinion but it would seem
that if it is not good for boys to grow
up like girls, fact universally conced-
ed outside of the circle of Little Lord
Fauntleroy cult, neither is it good for
girls to grow up like boys. The tend

speaker addressing convention of
teachers in Chicago recently advised
young women not to marry until they
could support husband. This is
frankly accepting mans sphere as the
destiny for woman.
The argument is not new. for it is
identical with that of the promoters of
higher education for woman when they
declare that woman should be trained

DEAFNESS CAN-
 NOT BE CURED

1NO1 DG OO NGD by local applications, as they can- not reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deaf ness is caused by an inhamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infamed you have a rum bling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and un- less the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an infamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

THE TRICKS
9 Coffee Plays on Some.

It hardly pays to laugh before you
are certain Of facts, for 1t Is some
times humiliating to think OF after
wards.
when I was a young girl l was a
lover of coffee, but was sick so much
the doctor told me to quit, and d1d.
but after my marriage, my husband
begged me to drink 1t again, as he did
not think it was the coffee caused the
troubles.
$50 1 commenced it again and con-
tainued about six months until my
stomach commenced acting bad and
choking as If / had swallowed some-
thing the size Of an egg. One doctor
said it was neuralgia and indigestion.
zone day took drive with my
husband three miles in the country,
and drank a cup Of coffee for dinner.
l thought sure would die before I got
back to town to a doctor. was drawn
double in the buggy, and when my
husband hitched the horse to get me
out into the doctors office, misery
came up in my throat, and seemed to
shut my breath off entirely, then left
in a flash and went to my heart. The
doctor pronounced it nervous heart
trouble, and when got home was so
weak could not sit up.
my husband brought my supper to
my bedside with nice cup Of hot cof-
fee but said: Take that back, dear.
/ will never drink another cup of cof-
fee if you gave me everything you are
worth, for it is just killing me- He
and the others laughed at me and
said:
"The idea of coffee killing any
body
".Well,' said, it is nothing else but
coffee that is doing it,
'In the grocery one day my husband
was persuaded to buy box Of Postum
which he brought home. and made 1T
for dinner and we both thought how
good it was, but said nothing to the
hired men and they thought they had
drank coffee until we laughed and told
them. Well, we kept on with Postum
and it was not long before the color
came back to my cheeks and got stout
and felt as good as ever did in my
life. I have no more stomach trouble
and I know I owe 1t all to Postum in
place Of coffee.
sMy husband has gained good health
on Postum, as well as baby and I, and
we all think nothing is too good to
say about it." Name given by Pos

Odd Railway Rule in Switzerland
louisville Courier-Journal.l

LOUISVILLE COuTler.JOurndl.J iss-g
when we reached Switzerland" said
the tourist, I'VE found in the railway
stations alongside of the ticket office
machines for measuring the height of
children. said to the agent at Ge-
neva:
ga half ticket for my little girl
Isn't she too tall?' the man asked.
Let her step on the measurer, please
My daughters height was duly
taken. 1t was four feet five.
All right said the agent. She
passes after ALL
"Then the man explained to me that
on account of innumerable disputes
over the age Of children half fares
were now sold in Switzerland accord
ing to height instead of according to
age. Children under three feet trav-
eled free Those between three feet
and four feet six paid half fare. Those
over four feet six paid full fare.
".The new rule is a good one,' said
the agent. We have no time for dis
putes. The children are measured at
the ticket Office and that Is the end
of the matter"
