pessimist might say that the eager
note in a child at the reopening of school
means an unchildlike seriousness, an I'M
natural precocity in accepting the world
as the stage of conventional tragedy with
all hangings drab. all acts leading to
grief and the whole affair a very sad
undertaking. But this conclusion is not
true one. The youngsters who splashed
their way to the thirty-five public school

so successful and popular at the Cass
school last year. Wood carving, clay

1t is the wish Of Superintendent David

take in forge, foundry and machine shop
work. For the girls domestic science and

in putting them out in oranges. Take, for
instance, one of the best-advertised colonies
which is backed by a rich banker of New
York. Its owners have 100000 acres of land,
most Of which they have bought, at a lib
eral estimate, from 81 to So an acre. They
have 1000 acres under cultivation, having
planted It in orange groves, and they are
selling land, both in the wild and cult
waited state. They began by selling wild
lands at $50 an acre, but have since raised
their prices TO $50 an acre. The cultivated
land, set out in oranges, was originally
sold at $500 an acre. the understanding
being that the land would be cleared and
planted and cared for until the trees were
three years old. This year the price of
such lands have been increased to $40 per
acre, and I am told that the sales are
numerous and increasing. This colony has
established a bank. 1t is building shipping
houses where oranges can be packed and
sent out on the railroad to the Cuba road
whence they will be shipped to Nipe bay
and thence to New York. The proposition,
based on the product of orange growing
must be attractive or there would not be
purchasers. It does seem that the differ
ence between Sc and $40 ought to cover the
cost of taking care Of an acre OF land and
still yield a profit OF somewhere between
and 1900 per cent. In this do not mean
20 say that the man who buys the $40
acre land may not still make an interest
on the investment, but 1t does seem as

The most interesting OF the land develop

town and farm settlements OF the Cuba
railroad in connection with the lands along
its tracks. These are railroad enterprises
rather than land speculations, their aim
being to build up the trafio by the increase

are sold for comparatively low prices and
on installments to approved purchasers.

Besides this nineteen young women who

Up TO this fall there were nineteen schools
in Omaha where the principal had charge
of room without an assistant. She was
supposed to do all the work expected OF a
teacher besides that Of principal. Therefore
the moments she could devote to Super

few and far between. If a patron called, a

to know If certain windows were to he

the training school is left with the princi-
pal, who, as soon as practicable. puts her
in charge Of the room. The student per-
forms the actual work under the principals

some of the duties that belong to her title.

Mock Sorrow an Artistic Assumption,
great number of school teachers and
not few parents believe that there is
lot of trying to live up to tradition in
children who profess an unwillingness to
go back to school. For few weeks before
the first day there are doleful shakings of
the head and signs of mock sorrow, so
artistic that it is almost genuine, but when
the first day comes the grunts and groans
have disappeared and only the confirmed
truants have anything but a desire to be
in their places promptly on time.
''They were all eager" said Superintend-
ent Davidson. ''They showed every sign of
being glad over the resumption of work
Omaha children are bright, keen, alive
wide-awake. They are tractable and easy
to teach. We have few bad boys or girls.
I have observed school children in nearly
every large city of the United States and
don't know any that rank higher, from
ali points of view, than those of this city.
We have a marvelously small amount of
friction I'm proportion to the number of
pupils. OF course, much credit for this
is due to the teachers, but the children are
the kind that make the teachers work

1t is no longer question of particular eli
mate, but fresh air, simple exercise, simple
diet at home, and the proper medication to
first allay those symptoms that prevent the
patient from recovering strength, and then to
assist nature in overcoming the ravages of the
disease.
In short, 1t is the home treatment-the treat
ment that first advised by Professor Adolf
Hof, of the medical faculty of the Vienna
University, when the New York American and
Journal sent Frederick Hammann across the
ocean. at its own expense, to- have the method
tested.
Professor HoT, in discharging Hammann as
cured, advised him that he might just as
well have been cured at his own home in
Brooklyn in the laboratory at Vienna. 1t
was necessary however, to surround this test case
with safeguards every side. and to make
that Professor Hoff's simple precepts We're
complied with in every detail, so that no ques-
ton might ever arise as to his having followed
the treatment.
Its absolute simplicity is the great feature
Of the home cure, now recommended and written
about on all sides. With some physicians who
are constitutionally prejudiced against innova-
tions. this simplicity is not welcome With
others-that large class of large-minded men
who work for the advancement of the medical
profession-this simplicity is a strong recon-
mendation In favor of the method and medicine
which are now curing thousands of tuberculosis

We are surprised to learn that apparently
feeble invalids can thrive in the coolest of
