 A young man fresh from collegc who decides to become a schoolteachcr has many things to consider, The profcs. sion. if 1t can be called profession. Is stiu unorganized. No standard Of eN- cellence, no diploma certifying ability, Is required. Methods Of teaching in public schools In New York state are very different from those In Colorado, and those in Utica are different from those In Buffalo. There are private schools of all kinds, There are almost as many methods of teaching arithme- tic as there are of teaching vocal mu- sic. To obtain his first position he or dinarily Joins an agency. He takes Co the agency his record at college, supple mented by as many pleasant recon mendations from his professors as pos sible, pays his yearly fee and promises the agency a certain percentage-5 per cent usually-of his first years salary. Occasionally hlS college win find a place for hlm in one of the schools that prepare directly for it At any rate, he win find without great difficulty a posi- ton that will support him. Perhaps it will be In a little denomlnatonal boarding school, where he will teach thirteen different subjects during his first year, as one man l know did. If he survives his first year successfully and with some measure Of content In the work he Is likely to be a teacher for the rest of his Ufe.-LeSlie'S Monthly.

Admiral Dewey says the victories of the American navy at Manila and San tiSgo are still record breakers for com pleteneSs. In both those engagements every ship of the enemy was either le- stroyed or captured. There were none to escape. Dewey also says, however, that the Japanese victory wts so com plete that it leaves Russia nothing to do but to surrender.

 The action of the strikers with re- gard to the druggists is in striking contrast with the course pursued in Finland, where, when other businesses participated in the general strike the druggists wsre directed 10 remain open in order that the sick might not suf- fer.
 The course is condemned by a large part of the population.
 At a meeting of the strike commit tee last night the question of the ter- imitation of the strike was not brought up, but The Associated Press noticed an expectation on the part of many of the delegates that the strike would end Saturday night. The principal question under discussion at the meeting was the formation of a strike treasury by gathering funds to be. used in future Walkouts, and after long considerations 1t was decided to ask the WOrkmen to contribute one per cent. of their wages for this purpose, the fund to be at the disposition of the committee. A propo- sltion to coll out the cab drivers was also discussed, but though several of the delegates asserted the drivers were ready to strike at a nod from the cOm- s1nittee, there was general doubt as to whether such a strike could be effect ed.

GIobuIar Naval Battery Discussed by Naval Architects.
 New York, Nov. 16.-The Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers began ts thirteenth general meeting here to-day. Admiral Melville, former chief engineer of the United States navy; Commander William Hovgaard, of the Royal Danish navy, and Anson Phelps Stokes were among those in att Tendance. Commander Hovgaard led Tin a scientific discussion of the utility of fast cruisers as commerce destroy ers.
 Admiral Francis T. Bowles, former chief constructor, U. s. N., commenting on the subject, declared that the great problem was how to get speed without sacrificing defensive armor. Before the desired result could be obtained, he said, automatic stokers must be per- fected or oil fuel and the turbine en- zine adopted. The ram he considered an obsolete weapon in naval warfare, and thought that if it were abandoned the cbonstruction of ships could be changed to speedier lines.
 Among the papers read to-day was the following: "A Globular Naval Bat tery," by Anson Phelps Stokes.

THE CHAMPION SHOT.

heads, and with fearful splash went below the surface of the water. It was a terrible moment of suspense to all of us, but the instant he struck the water, the captain regained his power of speech and roared like a lion: "Now pull boys, pull, for Gods sake, boys; pull, let's get out of this infer nal hole."
 We did pull, better perhaps than we ever did on going on to whale, and the gait we made in going back to the ship held the record for the rest of the voyage. In due course we reached the ship, our boat was hoisted up, and the boats crew told their shipmates how Jack had shot the tiger, which but for him would have torn them to bits. The following day the captain gave me two flannel overshirts and ten pounds of tobacco, and so long as I remained in the good old ship remained the champion shot either with musket or the captains s rife.
 Sometimes when the captain would get excited in pulling for a fleeing whale he exclaimed: Pull, there's a tiger up that tree"

CREMATION NSOCIETYMEETING

 Irvine, said: we know that Mir. Irvine
 is doing good. although absent; yet he
 sends tonight his substitute, his better
 half
 Mrs. Irvine said in part: Tt is well
 that We put great thought on our earth ly life's conditions as well as looking for the spiritual good. Let us think of ourselves as mental, spiritual beings on earth. Such thoughts would go far in ridding us from sin, sickness and su- perstitions. The worlds thoughts branch out in all directions, and the earthly burial demands our earnest con- sideratiOn.
 T trust that there will come time when the undertaken can be dispensed with and that the burial of the dead become a part of the duties of the board of health. Our cemeteries are termed our last resting places. The cemetery has become almost plague; they become overgrown and soon lost sight of. Tombstones are cleared away where are the remains of the dead? Generally they have long ago left the 1 cemetery and have become part of the water system that supplies our wants. The public is awakening to these facts.'
 The vice-president then reviewed the progress of the thought of cremation. In the two New Haven societies there are 300 members. In the last twelve years cremations have increased 2,O0O per cent. Last year in the state of Cal ifornia there were 5000 cases of crema- ticns, and throughout the Pacific and central states cremation societies are becoming more numerous. Said he: ''The chief reasons for encouraging cre- nation are embraced In the improve ment of our sanitary conditions-in ether words, that we may so dispose of our dead as not to endanger the liF- ing.
 "Cremation prevents the possibility of burying the living. Health officials inform us that cremation aids very ma- terially in the suppression of contagious diseases and epidemic maladies. Gre maticn invites economy in disposing Of human remains; it also makes 1t easy and practical to remove the remains of departed friends from place to place, that we may have their ashes near us

NO GOOD ESULTs YET
Cotton Crop of Egypt Not as Good as
 Expected.

Washington, Nov. 16.-The reports of the Egyptian cotton crop for 1905 show that it has not reached the maximum attained before the construction of the Assuan reservoir. The department of state has instructed the diplomatic agent and consul-general at Cairo, MT. 1ddings, to ascertain the exact area, if any, added to the cultivated land as the result of the Assuan reservoir; the in- creased area, if any, of land converted from inundated to perennially irrigated land on which cotton can be grown, and how much of the cotton raised since 1903 was grown on land previously used for sugar cane.
 Lord Cromer states that the excess of imported sugar in 1904-5 over that of the preceding year was 10000 tons, largely due to the substitution of cot ton, requiring less water per acre, for sugar cane. Instructions have also been sent, at the request of Cope White house, to ascertain the exact situation of his Raiyan project, with g. view to it's creation by American constructors and engineers, in case the work has not already been commenced by the Egyp- tian public works ministry.
 If it be true that the Assuan reser- voir is a total failure, it is a triumph for the French representative on the technical commission of 1894; but it will cause keen distress to the artistic world, which will have now more req son than ever to denounce the submer- gence of Philae as useless vandalism.
