THE scHooLTEAcHER.

How a Young Man Fresh From Col
lcge Makes His Start.
A young man fresh from college who
decides to become schoolteacher has
many things to consider. The profess
sion, II 1t can be called a profession, is
still unorganized. No standard of ex-
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 arlthme-
tic us there are Of teaching vocal mu-
sic. To obtain his first position he or
dinarily joins an agency. He takes to
the agency his record Mt college, supple
mented by MS many pleasant recon-
mendations from his professors as pos
sible, pays his yearly fec and promises
the agency a certain porcentage-5 per
cent usually-of his first years salary
Occasionally his college will find a
place for him In one Of the schools that
prepare directly for 1t. AT any rate, he
will find without great difficulty n posi-
ton that will support him. Perhaps 1t
will be In little UNCONVENTIONAL
boarding school, where he will teach
thirteen different subjects during his
first year, us one man l know did. If
he survives his first year successfully
aud with some measure of content In
the work he Is likely to be teacher for
the rest of bis life.-Leslie's Monthly.

CHARMING DOLLY MADISON.
rhe Greatest of All the Mattresses of
the Whita Hnuae

The Greatest of All the Mistrcsscs of
the White House.
To define the charm of charming
woman Ii always difficult. Dolly Mad
ison's features were not regular, nor
was her figure perfect. She was not
witty, nor was sho wise, aud she par
ticipated little IL ut all In her hus-
bands intellectual ufe Nevertheless
she stands out as the greatest of all
mlstresses of tho White House, and
her popularity was unbounded. She
ruled over her world in Washington
with genial good nature and instine-
tive tact. Her nature was warm, af-
fectonate and impressionable. She
loved life and people, and her world
loved her. Her brilliant coloring, ami
mated face and well rounded figure
went with cordial manner and a sym
patty for those about her amounting
to genius, and she was always ready
to bubble into laughter.
Who could resist such a woman, the
wife Of a PRESIDENT She was the cen
ter Of observation at the inaugural
ball, but she would have been tho cen.
ter Of observation ut any ball even If
she had not been the presidents wife.
She had, in fact, ruled as indisputably
over the little boarding house in Phila-
delphia kept by her mother when she
was tho Widow Todd as she did over
tho White House US Mrs. Madison

Wonderful Erosion.

A curious effect of the wear and
tear to which the earth's crust is ever
being subjected is exhibited in the sin
gularly capped pinnncles existing on
South river, In the Wasatch noun
tains, in Utah. There are hundreds Of
these slender pillars, ranging in height
from 40 to 400 feet, most Of them
crowned by large caps Of stones. They
are not works Of human art, as might
be imagined, but are the memorial
monuments of the hill from which they
have been cut by the action Of air
and water. Those pinnacles alone re-
main of many square miles Of solid
rocks, which have been washed away
to depth of some 400 feet. The
greater hardness Of the surface has
caused 1t to resist corrosion more than
the underlying rock, thus leaving huge
caps Of stone perched high In air on
the points Of their columns. One dou-
BILE column, capped by single stone,
forms natural bridge both unique
and picturesque.

Three American food plants-the In
dian corn, the potato and tomato-have
revolutioniZcd the food problem of the
civilized world. Yet another American
plant, though not u food producer,
might be added to- this list Of new
world conquerors, for it has had his
tory even more remarkable than that
Of the others. The Virginia weed' has
penetrated far beyond the bounds of
civilization and made conquests where
the names of the other three plants
have scarcely been heard.
The tomato comes of family which
Is largely in the service Of mankind.

heretofore, it will report all impor-
tant events promptly, accurately and

bers; Before The Dawn" by JOS
eph A. Altsheler. "The Reds of

lar subscription price is only $l.OO

Two wnx. to Get strone.

There are two ways to get strong,
the active and the passive. To sum IL
up with one brief concrete Illustration,
the active treatment would comprise
such vigorous exercise of all the mus
cles Of the body in the fresh, rejuvenat-
ing air and under the bright and heal
ing sun rs one might obtain in the rail-
road section gang. BY this method
you are able to relish and digest any
thing short Of shoe pegs.
The passive method goes at it the
other way about. Instead Of exercis-
Ing that one may eat, one eats that
one may exercise. A diet Is prescrib-
ed which Is almost pure nutrlment to
begin with and has been SO completely
predigested that all one has to do Is to
swallow it down and the food is turn
ed directly into power. By this meth
cd, If the billboards are to be believed,
aged gentlemen become so frisky that
they jump over eight foot fences just
to work off their superfluous energy

There is more Catarrh in this
section of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it local di-
sease and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven
catarrh TO be n constitutional d.
sease and therefore requires consti-
tutional treatment. IIalps Catarrh

S"rac of Them Work Out Very Well
In the Long Run.
Many people who wish to bestow
charity have strange ways of carrying
out their IDEAS. Some years ago an
Englishman named James Moss left

which was to provide five gowns, ac-

Some years ago Il Frenchman named
Bourne died and left to the poor of his
town few acres of no great value.
For more than two centuries the lands
yielded only few dollars year. The
nearest large town began to spread
and soon took in these lands. The val
Tie increased amazingly, so that today
the revenue from them amounts to
over $4,000 year. From this sum
siNty-elght poor people draw pensions
of $50 a year and twenty-four old men
and women live rent free and enjoy an
annual present of $50 besides.
A similar charity, which has benefit
ed many people, is that founded by
William France. At his death he left
lands valued at few thousand dollars
for Christmas gifts to his needy fellow
townsmen. The revenue has now pass
cd into hundreds and the sum of $22,-
300 is now distributed annually in the
town. OF this sum $4,000 has been
contributed to Il local technical school

Another beneticent act was by man
named Henry Greene of London. He
was an odd character, who lived in
the eighteen century and had consid-

celebritie. at the breakfast Table.

Dean Pigou, in his book Of remlnis-
cences entitled "Odds and Ends" tells
good story of the time when literary
breakfasts were the rage in London.
A lady who had risen from the ranks,
and whose husband had realized a
large fortune, affected what she had
neither been born to nor could ever
really feel herself ut home in. But
she desired to be "in the swim" and
suggested to her equally ignorant hus-
bnnd that they should give a literary
breakfast. The invitations were Is
sued and several people of light and
leading assembled at the breakfast.
The discussion at the table was on
the comparative merits of Cicero and
Demosthenes. The hostess listened in
tently for some time and ultimately, as
the conversation became more anlmat-
cd, she called out to her husband at
the other end of the table:
Husband, dear, take down ut once
the names and addresses Of these two
gentlemen and let us invite them to our
next breakfast"
