SOUTHERN WORKERS.

The Philadelphia Telegraph rather rashly remarked: If the white men of the South were able and willing to work steadily and consistently, as do the white men of the North, their sec ton of the country would be abundant ly rich and profitable to-day. Whether it is climate or heredity or the tradi- tions of slavery times, the fact remains that the men of the South, white and black alike, do not like to work and will not work if they con avoid it."
 This didn't suit the Baltimore Sun, which is always ready to accept any such challenge. The Sun very pertin- ently cites the achievements of the South since the war, and points to an address made at the meeting of the New York State Bankers on July IA last by. Mir. Joseph G. Brown, presi- dent of the Citizens National Bank, of Raleigh, N. c. MT. Brown showed that last year the value of the cotton crop was well in excess of $500. 100000; that the value of the corn crop was $37O,- 136,327; of wheat, $69,7G3, ,596, and of oats, $29,790,163. The total production of corn, wheat, oats, Irish potatoes, rye and hay in 1904 was $542, ,t21 900, to which should be added, according to the North Carolina banker, other prod ucts estimated at $550, ,0OO,O0O making the value of the Souths agricultural products, including cotton, $1,7OO. .0O0, ,OO0. The manufactured products of the South last year were valued at $1,60O,- 000000. The mining, manufacturing and agricultural production of the South last year was estimated at $3,500, ,000, ,00O Since 1880 the South's coal production has increased from 6,OO0,000 tons to 66,- OOO,O0O tons in 1904. The southern states make as much pig iron to-day as the

THE JAPANESE UNIVERSITY

GIRL.
 After spending a year in research work in the United States Prof. Shozo Also, the dean of the Japan Woman's University, has recently arrived in England. Charged with a joint mission from his university and from the Edu- cation Department, MT. Also will study education for women. The result of his reports will be adopted in Japan, where much interest is dis played in the question of women's edu- cation. T consider" said MT. Also, that women's education in Japan is progressing very successfully. The Woman's University represents the high water mark of this branch of education. It owes its foundation to the labors of Mir Naruse, and the SUD- port of many of the leading men of Japan. It will interest you to hear that one of the most generous donors was a Japanese business woman, who is a, living demonstration that the lot of women in Japan is not so dark as it has been depicted. Although the uni- versity has only been in existence a few years, it contains over HOO stud- ents, 700 of whom live in buildings. Attached to the university proper there is preparatory school, corresponding to the higher girls schools of the Gov- ernment educational system. We hope soon to have also a Kindergarten and primary school attached to the institu- tion. In this way the graduates of the university who will become teach CTS can obtain practical instruction in teaching. We believe that for the first four years of the childs education women teachers are preferable, but af- ter that the instruction must pass in- to the hands of the men.

The wife of well known naval of sfieer in Washington recently advertised .2 for a cook Though the establishment presided over by the officers wife is in accord. with their undisputed social po- sition, yet it is by no means preten- tious, for the naval man has no means aside from his salary. Consequently, when one applicant for cook announced to the wife that her price would be $50 month she was told that such wages were out of the question. The cook, not deigning to notice the remark, went on at length to give her superior qualifications, touching especially on her ability to get up smart luncheons and dinners. Again the lady of the house said that she would not pay $50 for a cook. Seeing that her determina- tion was unalterable, the applicant for the place prepared to take her de- parture. AS she was nearing the door sshe remarked, patronizingly: ."I see! You are trying to live within your in- comsl"

HOW TO LITE, THOUGH UNLOTED

HOW TO LTVE, THOUGH UNLOYED.
 Some men kill themselves beause they are not loved as they want to be, but there is a better way. A young man in Minneapolis is the discoverer of it. When this young man discovered that his best girl loved another, he became morbid and morose and sold the little farm he owned, where it had been his purpose to put his young wife. and be- gan spending the proceeds ill wild sprees, which he thought would dispel his sorrows After a time his money ran out, and he secured a job as con- ductor on the street cars. He says the occupation relieves his mind in a most wonderful way. He has so much to do and is kept so busy that he has for gotten all about his bad luck, and he now says that even when his former sweetheart boards his car he does not become excited, but collects the full fare and announces that he has a grim satisfaction in taking in some of his former rivals nickels.
 Anyone who has watched conductor of a crowded car climbing and rum maging around to collect the fares will readily see that such work would have a tendency to divert the mind from 8 disappointment in love. The Minneap- oils young man has made valuable find.

Massachusetts new law for dealing with drunRards is, it is asserted, work ing well. It is not novel in principle. Ever since 1891 the law has made a sharp distinction between habitual and occasional inebrlates. At first the po- lice were given the power of releasing the offender when sober, if he belonged to the second class. After two years this power of release was transferred to the courts. Instead of being asked to plead to the charge of being drunk, the question put to the man arrested was simply whether he had been drunk before. If not, he could go his way. As a matter of fact, sixteen thousand men year actually were so released. The new law again transfers this pow CT, bestowing 1t this time on the pro- bation officer, functionary who did not exist when the principle of discrimin- ating in such cases was first adopted. An important consequence of this change is that the arrested man will not have to appear in court at all, if the probation officer is satisfied that he will respond to a summons if wanted, and if the records show that he has not been arrested twice before within a year.
 Perhaps ''being found drunk and in toxicated' isnot always a serious crime and if 1t isn't the Massachusetts law has it's merits.

An autograph collector has the fol- lowing curious letter of Whistler, the painter: Irish girls have the most beautiful hands, with long, slender fin- gers and delightful authorizations. Am erican girls hands come next; they are a little narrow and thin. The hands of English girls are red and coarse. The German hand is broad and flat. The Spanish hand is full of big veins. I always use Irish models for the hands, and think that Irish eyes are also the
 
 most beautiful"

A revival of the whaling industry has taken place during the past ten years, after a steady decline during, the previous forty years, New Bedford re- mains the Headquarters of the Aimeri- can Whalers, and there are no less than forty three vessels now profitably en- gagged in it. When the business reach ed it's maximum in 1857, there were no less than 655 whalers afioat. Three causes contributed chiefly to it's decline
 the discovery of petroleum, the dim- mutton of the number of whales, and the destruction of many of our whaling vessels by the Confederate cruisers sent out from English ports during the Civil war. The total tonnage of Amer ican Whalers now is abot a twentieth of what is was a half a century ago, but it is growing. Most of the whales are now found in the south Atlantic, and they are said to be much more diff ficut to capture than formerly.

Here is the opinion of the chief of the rabid exclusionist clan on the Pacific coast, the San Francisco Chronicle, on the Chinese boycott. "It does not ap- pear that the alleged boycott amounts to anything serious, but whether it does or not, the best way to meet it is by a boycott at least equally effective against all products of China. Nothing that we can think of would do more to promote the prosperity of our in- fant raw silk industry than well-es- tablished boycott of Chinese cocoons. We are quite able to buy tea and mat ting from others than Chinese, or to produce them ourselves, and We already produce an abundance of much better rice than we import from Asia
