In the commercial world cheap labor
makes cheap products. That which
makes the difference between the ar
ticle of great value and one of little
value is the skill that is put into its
manufacture. In a factory poor ma
terial is turned over to poor workmen,
and the good material is given to
skilled workmen to be made into pro-
ducts of the highest grade.
In the human factory which we call
the school system of Virginia, what
sort of material have we to work up?
Is it poor quality to be made into
superior goods for cheap market?
Or If the raw material is good, is it our
aim to make it into second class ar
ticles to be put on the market as mo
name" goods or as "seconds?' / think
not. AS Virginia's greatest pride is
in her noble and distinguished ances-
tors, so her greatest wealth is in her
sons and daughters, in whose veins
flows the purest American blood. l
do not need to tell you that this ma
terial is not second grade, nor do
need to tell you that it is our wish to
make of it the best possible product.
| wish to say only, that since it Is
good material, and since We do wish
it made into the best possible product,
we must send it to the best workmen
We can get.
Emerson has said, Whoever lays
his hand upon the head of little child
lays it upon the mothers heart" and
we may add, upon the nations pulse.
What of that hand that holds so firm
ly in its grasp the head of the child.
the heart of the mother and the destiny
of the nation? Need it be a skilled
hand? Dare it be any other? The
teacher who directs the thoughts of
the child operates on his brain as sure
ly as does the surgeon who Yields
knife or trepan.
Men have money value as we'll as
have commodities. If it pays to EN-
ploy skilled labor to work in wood and
metal, it will surely pay to have
skilled labor to form our boys ana
girls. A man looks at field or
prospective mine and says, This will
yield things of such and such value"
Let him also look at his boy and ask
what he will yield.
Is this boy five-dollar boy or
thousand dollar boy? If he is a thou
sand dollar boy they spend the neces-
sary money to develop him, just as
you would spend money to develop a
mine. There may be, and hope there
is, in that boy a gold mine which will
yield larger returns than the mine that
is under the soil. The safest, surest
and best paying investment We can
make is to put reasonable amount Of
money into the development of our
children.

Asseciated Press to The Evening Times.
New York, Oct. 5.-Few persons
have any idea of the immense quanti-
ties of souvenir postcards which are
sent through the mails in this country.
An official of the Brooklyn postofice
said:
1.-The number of souvenir cards pass
ing through this Office in the summer
vacation season just ended has been
enormous, severely taxing the en-
ployes and causing unavoidable delay
in the handling OF mail matter.
Last year, for the first time, they
began seriously to burden the mails
In this last summer the flood of them
has been something appalling, begin
ming to flow about July Is and to ebD
about September T. The foreign mail
contains great many of these cards.
They come all the year round, but 1t
is the American cards, sent from all
parts of the country in the vacation
season, which have caused the bulk
Of the trouble.

September 3 labor day. inclusive.
there were $4,000 souvenir cards, fig
uring by the stamps, and the bulk of
the matter had to be sent to the Brook
lyn main Office, to- be handled there by
the mailing division. On Friday, Sep
TENDER Z, there were 100000 of the
cards in the Coney Island Office partly
owing to baby show the day before"
At the New York Office an assistant
postmaster said that immense numbers
of souvenir cards had passed through
the office during the last summer, the
quantity having quadrupled since last
year.
An officer of news company in this
city, which does a great business in
these cards, said that the pioneers In
it were the Japanese, who began to
make them twenty or twenty-five years
ago. Japan still produces large guam
titles
The news company official said that
his company alone has sent to Ger
many for color printing from 1000 10

12,0O0.OO0 cards behind on its orders.

Large authenticated pins are used

New Exercise.

Would you believe it, the latest form
of exercise advised by physicians is
sweeping.
Shades of our great grandmothers
how they would rejoice!
The modern miss who is in training
for society must do her daily sweeping
stunt" in order to stimulate her cir
culation and develop her shoulders
and arms.
There is no doubt as to it stirring
up your blood. Try sweeping vigor-
ously for ten minutes, and see how
hot you get. Also you will discover
unsupported muscles in your back and
arms. Hence its developing qualities.
Perhaps our girls will develop bet
ter housekeepers and keep up in earn
est what they started as fad.
When you once see the cloud of dust
which can be swept out Of an appar-
emily clean rug or carpet you will
realize in what filth we live. People
try to be clean, but it is a difficult
matter in these extra dirty days.
This old-new exercise is ordered
taken in the open air, the object being
to get as much ozone as possible into
the system.
Mob caps will come into fashion

These coats will be single-breasted,
and have no trimming at all but a
velvet collar. They will be made with
a fitted back and sides, while the
fronts will be semi-fitting, and some
times loose. The long plain coat
sleeve will be used. For dress occa-
sions, such as calling and church
wear the redingote will be the most
fashionable.
Another style of coat will be of the
fitted type, and rather long, but not
as long, of. course, as the redingote.
This coat will form part of the three
piece costumes, which promise to &C.

the modes of the autumn and winter.
1t will be made of the same fabric
as the dress, but it will avoid the
trimming design of the dress proper,
and be more or less simple in detail.
The separate wrap for fall will not
follow along the fitted type, but will
be more or less shapeless in cut, with

All About the New Colors.
In regard to the fashionable colors
for fall and winter, it will be the pc
culiar tones, rather than the usual
ones, that will be the most fashion.
able. Dark shades are to be favored
in striking contrast to the delicate
tints which were so much in vogue
last autumn. The very new point
about the new colOrs is that they all,
more or less, look as though they
were seen through a mist or veil.
The vivid shades are all subdued For
instance, there is an ashen tinge to
the reds. The greens are softer. and
the browns are dulled to mode, the
blues reflect a gray shadow, and even
the grays themselves are deepened.
Instead of pure gray, we have taupe,
which much resembles mole, and an
other deep gray known as elephants
breath.
able all through the fall and wintel,
much more so in fact than gray. A
shade of brown known as modOre. and
which has decided greenish tinge,
will be a very exclusive and fashion
able shade. The chestnut browns will
also be good style, and puce, which
is another shade Of brown, having
pinkish tinge.
Deep, but a brilliant. blue called
pavois, will be much the vogue, as
we'll as bronze green. The rose
shades that deepen into wine are good,
but pink and old rose will not be
used as much as in the spring. Dab
liza, petunia and orchid puppies will
still be seen.
The shades under the name of sher-
nv brandy will be extremely fashion
able, and as for black, it will main
tain it's position as leader straight
through the season. All black gowns
and hats will be much worn by the
women who have a reputation for
smart dressing.-Grace Margaret

Sere and Yellow.

There seems in Paris a craze for
sere and yellow tones just now, and
that some of the soft and mellow
shades are very charming no one will
deny. Dainty little kerchiefs of yellow
lawn, with narrow white borders, are
among the latest novelties, and an
other rather fascinating idea is the
substitution of fine soft brush for
the hard-worked powder puff. The
advocates of the former declare that
it is far more efficacious than the lat

Waving the Hair.

Waving the hair is distinct art"
said a fashionable hair dresser. but
it can be learned. The hair should
be slipped into the locks carefully.
The tongs should be heated until they
are not quite hot enough to scorch.
II put the tongs in the hair, clasp
them tightly, give them little twist,
and wait while count sixty. 1t is
tedious, but it pays in the long run,
for hair done in this way will stay in
wave very long time.
There are various hair curling
fluids that are good. Glycerine and
water used to dampen the hair will
give it a stiff wave; alcohol will give
1t glossy, tight wave, but it is apt to
make the hair gray if it is applied to
the roots.
1.-THE whole secret lies in curling
the hair slowly. The hair dressers
take As minutes to wave your hair
and 15 minutes to curl your bangs and
the home hair dresser cannot hope to
do it in less time. She will find that
her efforts will prove failure if she

they achieve, they always desire fur

it is the spirit of progress. But it
should not make one overlook the

But to be dearly loved by one or two

FOUR PEACH RECIPES.
Peach Jam.

This comes from a New England
friend:
Pare, stone and cut into thin slices
half peck of freestone peaches.
Weigh. To each pound of fruit add
three-quarters of a pound of granu-
lated sugar. Put in layers in a pre-
serve kettle and let them cook gently
until clear, which will probably take
an hour. Have ready cracked one
third the peach stones, remove and
blanch the kernels, then slice them
thin and sprinkle them among the
layers of peaches SO all can cook to-
gether. Put in small glass jars and
tumblers when cold Shut up alright.
Spiced Peaches.
Weigh 8 pounds of freestone peach
es after they have been peeled, halved
and the stones taken out. Put the
peaches in porcelain-lined kettle
with one pint of vinegar and five
pounds Of granulated sugar. Mix one
ounce each Of cinnamon sticks, whole
mace and green ginger and one-half
ounce of cloves.
Divide into eight parts, tie each in
a piece of cheesecloth and drop in the
kettle with peaches. Simmer until
the fruit is tender, then lift it with a
skinner and put it in sterilized jars.
Boil the syrup a minute, skim, lift out
the bags, then pour over the fruit IL.
the jars.
1t is an Improvement to break 10
peach stones, blanch the kernels in
boiling water, and add them to the
syrup just before pouring it into the
jars.

Peach Jelly.
Take sound, high-favored, barely
ripe peaches. Wash them thoroughly
Use the parings and few pieces of
fruit. Boil in enough water to cover
in an enameled kettle until the skins
are tender and broken. Then strain
through a jelly bag. Allow the juice
of one lemon and one scant pound of
sugar to each pint of juice.
Boil the juice 20 minutes after
straining, and meantime heat the sug-
ar in the oven. Put the sugar into
the Juice slowly, let boil five minutes
and pour into tumblers.

expedition
The Elingamite was a passenger

as the Three Kings. On the fatal voy-

as finding and making a search OF the
sunken wreck, but the divers found the

treasure missing It is suspected that
dynamite had been used 10 shatter the
wreck
1t is now WHISPERED that a party OF
fishermen from San Francisco, who

waters, know something about the miss
