Value of an Education,

The value of thorough educa-
tion fitting young man for his
life work is no longer a debatable
question The recent report of the
United States Bureau Of Education
shows that boy with a common
school education has practically one
chance In 5000 OF general recogni-
ton as successful man in some de-
partment of human endeavor and
usefulness. A high school educa-
tion increases his chances of such
success by about twenty-five times,
while a college education gives q
young man about ten times the prob
ability of success and advancement
possessed by the high school gradu-
ate, or about two hundred times the
opportunity open to a boy with only
a common school education.-Scien-
tific American.

Municipal Child Rearing

The town Of Huddersfield, Eng
land. which stands in the front rank
Of the cities that have adopted the
plan OF public utilities owned and
controlled by the municipal authori-
ties, has recently taken a further
step, and provided for child rearing
under official direction. Realizing
that a large part of the death rate
among the poor was Of infants under
one year of age, owing to insufficient
or unintelligent care and nourish-
ment, the Mayor OF the city offered
bonus of 81 to every child born in
one of the districts that should at
tain the age of twelve months. This
offer, which Is to hold good during
the term of the present incumbent's
mayoralty, led the local health au-
thoritics to consider whether steps
could not be taken toward saving
the lives of infants.
Accordingly they decided to offer
reward of one shilling to the first
person who should inform the medi-
cal officer of the birth of a child
within forty-eight hours of it's occur
renee. The mother is then to be WIS.,
tied by physicians and women health
visitors, who will instruct her as to
the best methods of feeding, wash
ing and clothing the child, while, in
addition, detailed instructions are to
be prepared and printed for general
distribution
The health visitors will also exam
Inc the homes of the mothers and
factories and otler places where wo-
men are employ I'd, and cases where
deaths of children under one year
have occurred will be Investigated.
Furthermore, a years experiment
will be undertaken with a day nur-
sery where children will be cared for,
and sterilized milk will be supplied
for the babies. Huddersfield Is a
manufacturing town, and the author
tiles consider that its present
strength can best be preserved
through maintaining its native la
Dor. They therefore believe that II
the infant mortality Is reduced to a
minimum a large majority of the
children would grow to manhood
and womanhood. The experiment is
interesting g.-Harper's Weekly.

Building up n Flock OF Fowls.

Begin by killing every rooster on
the place. Then decide upon some
breed which will best meet the re-
Quirements and purchase from a re-
liable breeder roosters of this breed
getting one cock for every fifteen or
twenty hens in the flock. Then buy
setting Of eggs Of this breed. be-
ing careful however to see that
these are unrelated to the roosters
purchased. Set these eggs under q
good mother hen and at the end Of a
year kill or sell of all the original
ROSTERS, replacing them with those
resulting from the setting of eggs.
At the end Of the second year kill or
sell the males and repeat the oper-
alton each year, never keeping them
more than one yea, and never buy
ing rooster related to the hens.
Do not forget to kill or dispose Of
the pullets matched from the setting
Of purebred eggs, as they are of
course related to the roosters of the
same hatch and their retention
would defeat the end sought. As
rapidly as possible kill or sell OF
all the original scrub hens and
thereafter always dispose OF the old
er members Of the flock.

animal and vegetable life will be on

Lion, the king Of the Low Ebh

drought, destructive vegetable mi
crobes, ETC., to afflct the earth.

A NEW ANAESTHETIC.
IL Lasts Ninety Minutes and Pro.
duces Numbness Only.

Carbohydrate of Dimethylamino
benzoylpentanol.' Such is the awe
inspiring title OF the latest anaes-
thetic. In order not to unduly alarm
his patients, DR.. Fourneau, its
French discoverer. has renamed It
"Stovaine."
1t Is injected into the spinal fluid,
and within Eve minutes produces
complete anaesthesia in the body be-
low the pont Of injection. The pa
tient. however, does not lose con-
sciousness. Its effects last for an
hour and half. and no unpleasant
results have yet been observed,
though II has been tried for some
time in more than one Paris hospital.
English doctors are reluctant to
experiment with It, "Once you have
injected your 'stovaine' into the
spine." said prominent F. r. c. 8.
yesterday. you have no more control
over It. but with gaseous anaesthetic
It is possible to stop the administra-
ton before the danger point is
reached. AS the quantity needed of
any anaesthetic varies with the indi-
vidual patient, the Importance Of
this control may be easily realized.
I'm addition, there is always
danger of septic poisoning in hypo-
dermic injections. and in this form
OF injection-into the spinal fluid
the consequences would be most
dangerous. London Mail.

NOT A MILITARY COUNTRY.
Uncle Sans Officers Prefer the Plain
Citizens Dress.

tItILtus DTtss.
Although a great many OF the
1000 commissioned officers of the
United States army are stationed at
ten or twelve forts, posts and ar
senals In and about this city, and
scores Of officers from neighboring
parts of the Department OF the East
from time to time visit the headquar-
ters on Governors Island, an army
officer in uniform is a rare sight in
town, says the New York Sun.
Within the enclosure OF any Of the
forts you will see plenty of gold lace
when officers are on duty, but the
moment an officer makes ready to
Yeave the reservation for any ordi-
nary errand not actually requiring
uniform he dons citizens clothes.
Even down at the big and externally
gloomy Army Building citizens dress
is the rule and uniforms are the ex-
ception.
What is true Of the army Is equal
ly true of the navy. You often see
Jack ashore in his comfortable
blouse and wide trousers, for the
regulations require him to travel
thus attired. But OF the several hun
dred naval officers almost always in
this port one rarely shows himself in
uniform to the everyday citizen.
Dozens of naval officers dine night
ly with friends ashore at private
houses or at public resorts but they
are never suspected for what they
really are, so studiously do they con-
form to the fashions Of civilian
dress.
Alone, walking the streets, or rid
Ing with private citizens in a public
vehicle, he Is the object of curios-
ity that is pretty sure to make him
uncomfortable. The vain youngster
who by accident is tempted to ap-
pear alone in uniform with the hope
Of tasting notoriety is unlikely to re-
peat the experiment, and 1t is the un-
written etiquette of mess and ward
room never unnecessarily to wear
uniform in public.

State Money for Schools

N. c. Shaeffer, Superintendent
of Public Instruction at Harrisburg
is sending ont the warrants for the
State appropriation to the various
school treasurerS Of the county.
The special appropriation which
was received by all the school dis
tricts of the State for the past three
years, which was granted by a
special act of the Legislature III
1902, for a period of three years,
expired last year, consequently all
districts are just short that much.
The regular appropriation this year
is about the same in all cases as
last year.

pEoPLE OF THE pHILnPprNEs.
Their Disposition to live Near the
Coast Line.

In the Philippines the density Of
population is sixty-seven to the
square mile In the United States It
Is twentv-six to the square mile. The
inhabitants of the Philippines are
usually found on or near the coast,
except In the island of Luzon, where
about half the people live in the two
rich valleys in the interior. Only
one-seventh of the civilized popula-
tion live inland, but the wild people
are confined almost entirely to the
interior.
In the archipelago there are 49,
400 barrios. or Villages, with the
average population of 500 inhabi-
tants. The average size OF the bar
rio vary widely 10 different prov
inces. A number OF adjacent bar
rios form pueblo. or municipal
unit, and thus there is practically
no rura' population. Three-fifths Of
the population live In villages OF
less than 1000 inhabitants and
per cent. in towns OF over 5000

Great things are expected from
the submarine telephone by officers
of the United States navy. The prin-
ciples underlying 1t are very differ

impulses are transmitted through the
air or ether by electricity. In the

electrical force. Water, being denser
than air, acts as better sound con-
ductor. 1t transmits sound four and
q half times as fast as air, LOO feet

phere, while in the water 1t is 4,712

Sweet Skim Milk for Calves

The experience in the use of sweet
skim milk from the cream separator,
for feeding calves and pigs, is uni
formly favorable. A farmer writes
that he has been using 1t fresh from
the separator for over three years
both in feeding calves and pigs and
has found it most excellent. For
calves he mixes a little meal and
middlings with the milk, and for pigs
increases the meal somewhat, and
says that both grow rapidly on such
feeding. He warns against feeding
milk that has soured in the least and
himself feeds it sweet from the sepa-
rator.

John Koopman, strawberry
grower of two miles west of Car

pasteboard strawberry boxes, which
he will use for his crop this year in
stead Of the usual wooden boxes. 1t
is claimed they are cheaper, tougher
and will not absorb the stain from
bruised berries. They thus look
neater than the ordinary boxes and
are Just as slightly when used the
second time as when first used.-
