PROOF OF EDUCATION.
Chicago Professors Questions Re-
uuirin1 an Affirmative Answer

Chicago Professors Questions Re-
curing an Affirmative Answer.
Professor Frank ]. Miller, examiner
If secondary schools, said recently at
the junior chapel of the University Of
Chicago that only those who can an
swer all of the following questions in
the affirmative are educated, says a
Chicago dispatch:
Has education given you sympathy
for all good causes? Has it made you
easier to interest in them? Has it
made you public spirited, so that you
look beyond your own dooryard and
take interest in clean city?
Has it made you a brother to the
weak?
Have you learned the proper value
Of money and time?
Have you learned how to make
friends and keep them? Do you know
how to be friend yourself?
Can you look an honest man or pure
woman straight in the eye?
Do you see anything to love in lit
tie child?
Will lonely dog follow you in the
street? 81, , , e....-. IT,. +-...-...
Can you be high minded and happy
in the drudgeries of life?
Can you think washing dishes and
hoeing corn are just as compatible
with high thinking as playing the piano
or playing golf?
Can you be happy alone?
Are you good for anything to your
SELF! '-1.. .-. o.E - s..~z So .-. ,
Can you look out on the world and
see anything but dollars and cents?
Can you look into mud puddle and
see the blue sky refected2 Can you
see good in everything?
Can you look up to the sky at night
and see beyond the stars? Does your
soul claim relationship with the Crea-
tor?
Professor Miller said the failure to
answer any Of these questions afirma-
lively is enough to send the man or
woman who thinks he or she knows it
all back among the uneducated. ''The
college curriculum does not contain
all that is necessary to the educated
man." said Professor Miller. "a man
may be graduated and 60 out into the
world and still prey on society, not
withstanding his so called education"

SOciety's New Flower.

Back to nature has LondOn's smart
est set rushed in it's latest fancy, and
the heavily perfumed exotics Of the
Conservatives are forced to hide their
diminished heads while the wild mi
gnonette holds sway, says the New
York Press. The Countess of Warwick
is said to be responsible for this craze,
for she has worn punches Of wild mi
gnonette fastened in her bodices dur
ing her lecturing tours through Eng
land, and the cue was quickly taken up
by the English metropolis. While the
majority of persons have long consid-
cred mignonette as purely a cultivated
flower, the more exclusive florists are
showing beautiful specimens of wild
blooms from Hants and Thanet No
fragrance emanates from the newly
popular flower, fact which caused it
to be called false but fair wild mi
gnonette Distinguished only by it's
three cleft leaves from yellow weeds,
it is not altogether a thing Of beauty,
but that doesn't matter as long as it
meets with fashionable folks approval

A Tree Planting Club.

AS a result of the attendance of q
member of the forest service at the
farmers congress recently held at
Amarillo, Tex, a tree planting club is
to be organized in the Texas Panhan-
die, says the Washington Star. This
movement is of considerable impor-
lance, since the region is naturally tree
less, though there is abundant evidence
that certain kinds OF trees will grow if
properly planted and cared for The
object Of the organization Is to encour-
age the making of tree plantations, to
experiment Systematically with trees
that seem likely to thrive under the
conditions there found and to provide
for obtaining the necessary planting
material in the most advantageous
way. When this club shall have been
successfully organized the forest serv-
Ice promises to send a man to the
Panhandle to help the tree planters to
make the most effective use Of their
land and planting material.

FIGHTING BOY AS IDEAL.

Chicago Judge Picks Trough House"
Lad as Maker of Best Citizen.
Little Lord Fauntieroy is Il miscon
re;t. He is not the ideal boy"
Judge W. H. McEwen of the juve-
nile court made this statement the
other night in speech at banquet in
Chicago of the Columbia Yacht club at
the Palmer House, in which he scored
the mice little boy" as the future de-
generate and a dangerous criminal,
says the Chicago Record-Herald.
1.-The rough house boy-the boy who
is occasionally before the court for a
deed of violence-under proper re-
otraint will make the future good cit1-
gen." he said. ut is generally the de-
sire of parents to have their children
what is commonly known as nice
boys 1t has been my experience that
these nice boys do not amount to much.
1.-THE boy with the feminine instincts
Is q coward generally, and in his devel-
opment along these. lines lies one Of the
most dangerous elements to the coun-
try. The rough, rugged boy, the boy
who will fight, II be is kept under re-
straint, will become the citizen upon
whom the country can depend. He
will become the manly citizen.
little Lord Fauntleroy has been
held up as an example to the boys Of
the country, and he exemplif1es some
modern ideas in regard to the rearing
of children. He is not the kind of an
example that should be held up to q
boy. Outdoor sports should be encour
aged They tend to make boys rug
ged, manly and hes 'thful. These are
the boys that are the hope of the coun-
try There is altogether too little op-
portunity for boys in a big city to
participate in these outdoor sports,
and they should be encouraged"
Judge McEwen took the healthful-
ness that comes from yachting as the
basis for his talk.

Little Son of One of Japan's States.
men Wants Harvard Degree.
An incident ia the life of Baron
Kentaro Kaneko, former member of
the mikado's cabinet, who is now in
the United States, gives an intimate
insight into the relation between
Japan and the United States, says
Worlds Work.
The baron is graduate of Harvard
university. After he had become one
Of his country's most distinguished
statesmen the university conferred the
honorary degree Of doctor of laws upon
him. President Eliot gave dinner in
honor Of the baron, after which he said
to him: -->-.-.-. -e
Harvard university has conferred
on you it's highest honor. We can do
no more, but l understand there is a
son in your family. We claim him as
future recipient of the degree we
conferred upon you. l trust he will
come to us and be a worthy successor
of his father"
''He will come" replied the baron.
The baron returned to Japan and told
the Baroness Kaneko about the Incl
dent. She told the little boy that he
was to go to Harvard and receive
the degree, and the fact made a great
impression on the child. Whenever he
was naughty the mother said:
IF you are not good you will not re-
ceive the Harvard degree" He always
became good
Events moved swiftly in the far east
The war with Russia came. Baron
Kaneko, who had an important part
in national affairs, prepared to go to
the United States. A week before he
started this conversation occurred:
when do you start" asked the
Baroness KanekO
I'm week." replied the baron
Just then the little boy interposed:
Where are you going, papa?'
ITO the United States,' he said.
''Then l must go with you and get
that Harvard degree!'' exclaimed the
child. ..
The boy is now a student at the
Mobiles school in Tokyo. Upon his
graduation he will go to Harvard.

require constant and rapid reproduction. A Ger.

these cells is less than Is days and if the brail

Nature calls for food for the starving brain and

replace the waste; but soon she sounds the
warning, she is given acid germ and 'nicrobe''
destroyers, powerful drugs, ALCOHOL etc. Under
the deadly influence of these denominations her

and death simply gathers in the sheaves thrown
at his feet; the harvest Is bountlful.

A Wide Awake SchOOlma'am,

To prevent hardness an Iowa school
ma'am recently announced she would
kiss the first arrival at school every
morning, says the Milwaukee Sentinel.
That same night three directors and a
baldheaded bachelor, who had not been
to school in forty-seven years, slept in
the long grass of the schoolyard and
were up before dawn. When the school
teacher arrived she announced a dead

INDIAN LANDS FOR FARMS.

homa Region to Settlement.
A new deal is to take place in the
Indian country in the matter Of land
leases, says a Washington special to
the New York Times. Commissioner
Leupp believes that Indian lands
should be leased for agricultural pur-
poses as we'll as for grazing.
The first trial Of the new plan will
be made in the Kiowa reservation. It
is estimated that the opening of the
pasture lands there will add popula-
ton Of not less than $1,000 to Co
manche county, Okla. .-- ..-..
The Kiowa pasture lands are in four
tracts, three Of which aggregate ap-
proximately $4,000 acres. The larger
tract, which has the Red river for its
southern boundary, contains 100000
acres. The rental to be paid the In
dams for their lands ranges from Is
cents an acre to $3.50 as against Is
cents an acre under the grazing sys-
TEN. .-. -s-..-
The scheme which has been devised
is compromise between opening the
country to homestead entry and leas-
ing it for grazing purposes.
The system devised practically as
sures that each quarter section will
have one tenant or family. 1t Is I'm
possible for corporation or Individual
to lease more than two sections, and
the terms aSe such that no one in
dividual will in all probability secure
more than a quarter section. The
leases will run for five years, and at
the end Of that time the lessees will
have preference right for renewal.

The battleship Oregon obtained
unique and very lucky mascot at the
time of the battle of Santiago. The
men of the Oregon succeeded in rescu-
ing from one Of the conquered Spanish
ships. the Maria Theresa, a big black
pig. They took him aboard and named
him Rlanco in honor of the Spanish
officer who was captain general at
Havana in the latter part of the regime
of the dons. Blanco was great ia
vorite and proved a very well behaved
mascot for q member of the pig family.
Although brought up among Spaniards,
he took readily to American ways, sub
nitted readily to being washed when
the decks Of the Oregon were scrubbed
and even became attached to the hose
which was turned on him upon these
occasions. He was one of the clean
est pigs that ever trod the deck of Il
warship. He evinced a good ear for
music. for when the "mess gear was
sounded he would start for the mess
deck with the men. To reward him for
his good behavior the latter would oc-
/ casionally take him on shore to eat
grass. The Oregon's pig conformed to
the popular idea that Il mascot to bring
; real good luck should be homely. He
was as homely as could be desired.

The plan announced by State Road

The plan announced by State Road
Commissioner Hutchinson when he
took office-that no further state aid in
road building would be extended to
those counties which neglected to keep
their roads in repair-has been produc-
tive of gratifying results. The com
missioner says the plan works like a
charm. More money Is now being ap-
propriated by the counties for road re
pairing than for building new ones.
Monmouth has appropriated $4,000 for
the year, Burlington about the same
amount, Essex 100000. Passaic $4,000,
and so ON. Commissioner Hutchinson
regards this as the complete solution
Of problem which has for years dis
turbed the minds Of all interested In

The curiosity of tropical Africa Is tie
wonderful flying frog, hrst described
by Bishoff of the equatorial African
expedition, which returned to Europe
In the fall Of 1894. This oddly Of the
reptile family Is about the size of Il
common bullfrog and resembles other
members Of the order Of batrachians
In everything but its feet, each of
which is webbed and enormously en-
larged, 50 much so as to form splendid
substitutes for true wings. The crea-
ture has five toes on each of the other
two, which makes four separate mem
branes on each of his hind feet and
three on each fore foot, or fourteen in
all In his description of 1t Bishofr
says, Each leg terminates in sort Of
fan, and with these the little reptile
paddles the air like locust or like a
partially fiedged bird testing its pin
sons for the first time"
Although somewhat awkward In Its
flight, the winged frog can dart through
the air at speed of about ten yards
per second and can keep itself going
forward at that rate for from ten to
fifteen seconds. The average distance
covered by these spurts Of grasshopper-
like flight is from IS to 12o yards, but
Bishoff mentions instances where the
flying frog cleared sandy stretches 2Ol
yards in width.

Caesar Young's Wife,

The widow of Caesar Young will soor
again be a resident of San Francisco
She has written for her old apartments
in the Palmetto, a fiat house at 32z
Ellis street, and is expected to arrive
within a few days.
Mrs. Young resided at this same ad-
dress with her husband many years
ago, leaving it only short time before
his sensational death while in cab
with Nan Patterson in New York. Mrs.
Young is said to be the only person of
whom the accused actress has shown
any fear while in court on trial for her
life, and, in the event of her eventual
release, it is not probable that she will
regret q single one of the many miles
which separate her from the wife of
the man with whose murder she has
been charged--S. F. Chronicle.
