FARMING TAUGHT BY MAIL

AS stated in news dispatch, the
Burlington railway has started a
movement for teaching agriculture by
mail" Particulars concerning the pro-
ject are not given. except that 1.-The
company has submitted propositions to
the heads Of the various state univer-
stiles of the west and has the approval
ferred that able instructors will be
engaged in the method of teaching
agriculture by correspondence.
1t is a wonderful latter-day institu-
tion, this teaching of almost everything
under the sun by the long distance
letter system. Starting in an unpre-
tentlous way it has invaded every field
Of human activity. 1t no longer is
necessary for a young man TO go
through college, as he can master
everything in the curriculum at COM
paratively trivial expense by mail in
struction. And the system is so con-
venient. for instance, In the case of a
young woman expecting soon to be
married, who happens to remember
that she knows nothing about house
keeping. Only a brief course of in
struction by correspondence is needed
to perfect her in every domestic
branch.
But what a blessing 1t will be for
young Agrcola 10 learn all about
farming without the strenuous effort
incident to instruction by the methods
of his stern parents! He would quickly

special Cable to The Herald.
PARIS, Sept. S,--The reign Of white
continues here, both for ladies who
from any cause ar compelled to remain
in the capital and for their more tor
tunate sisters who are at TrouVllle,
DeauvIlle, in Switzerland, or elsewhere
far from the blazing sticky asphat.
Women of all ages wear white, but
when youth is only a memory 1t is bet-
ter taste to infuse a little black with
the white dress-a black hat or boa,
for instance.
In buying late summer dresses Paris
iennes are careful to make their pur-
chases appropriate for the country or
the seaside. For the real scountry
plainer dresses are required, suitable
for the drive or walk to the village,
or a lunch> on party at some neighbor-
ing chateau. These so-called plain lit
tie gowns. however, can be quite as
pretty and becoming as their CITY
cousins" provided they be tastefully
carried out.
Nothing can be nicer or neater for a
day In the country than linen or COT
ton frock, the skirt round, just clearlns g
the ground, gathered at the waist or
pleated according to the wearers pref
erence. For a linen or cotton dress
II is generally considered preferable
that gathers should be adopted on ac-
count of the facilities of ironing Coun-
try laundresses are less expert than
their city colleagues of the washtuo
and pleats constitute a difficulty Tor
them.
Little Coats in Vogue
The little coats which the Parisiennes
so much approve are now to be made
longer and tighter fitting the figure
more closely than those lately worn.
Sleeves continue to be made short, and
it is said will not be heightened even
for autumn or early winter wear, de.
spite the evident drawbacks they Will
then present.
AS for the ever popular blouse, 1T is'
I believe, destined to reign eternally.
so convenient, becoming and youthful
is it. One sees at the present moment
every variety Of blouse, from the SIM
ple "shirt waist" to the most elaborate
creation in lace and embroidery. A
rather pretty novelty is the very wide
lace or linen collar worn with lawn or
cotton dresses. So large are they that
they might almost be termed pelerines.
The colors most in vogue this year Tor
Lingerie dresses are pink, lavender,
pastel and a new shade called Trans
Vaal dust"

Special Gable to The Herald.
CONST TANTINOPLE, Sept. S.-An
amusing action for damages for Insult
has been concluded before the French
consular court here.
M. Paul Sim, a local dramatic critic
sued the well known tenor. M. ROLAND,
for calling him a "pignouf" from the
stage ROLAND and Sim were not on
good terms, and when ROLAND came on
the stage to sing his part in the llght
opera Of the evening and saw Sim sit
ting in the front row of the stalls he
shouted down: 80 you are here, you
plymouth"
The consul could only make out that
"pgnouf" meant shoemaker's appren-
tice, and declined to award Sim any
damages. ROLAND was fined $5 and
costs, however, for undignified behavior
on the stage.

News of Abruzzi's Expedition
scial Cable to The Herald

MILAN, Sept S.-A telegram from
Entebbe states that the Duke of the
Abruzzi's expedition reached in forty
days all the seven highest SUBMITS OF
the Ruwenzori mountains in East
Africa. Through the Mubuku valley
the party pushed up the Kiyanga
group 16, 700 feet. Then from the Congo
side they reached the summit of the
Duwoni group at $4,000 feet They
came back through the valley of a
river, till now unknown, the Buingei,
springing from the huge Duwoni
glaciers and discharging into the Mu-
buku valley. The duke is now hunting
elephants. He named the highest
summit of the Ruwenzori Mount Mar
garet, the second Mount Alexandra,
and the third Mount Leopold. The
other four are still without names.

THE REPUBLICAN, BOGY

| The Republican leaders, in face of th'
great popular enthusiasm for Mr.
Z. an, are "whistling to keep theil
courage up" after the style of thu
| lad who passes a graveyard at night
For instance, Senator Knox, who has
just returned from Europe, says MIR
Bryan has opened his mouth and pu
his foot in It," This in allusion to Mr.
Bryan's intimation that government
ownership of railways may ultimately
become necessary.
All along the Republican line there
are signs of hope that Mr.. Bryan has
injured his presidential prospects by
the intimation in question. Republican
newspapers and public speakers are
writing and shouting to readers and
hearers that Mr.. Bryan is leading the
Democratic party into socialism, pa
ternalism and other '1sms' perilous to
the safety of the nation.
But Mr.. Bryan does not advocate
government ownership of the railways
What he does advocate in that re-
spect is such ownership where competi-
tion is impossible where railway
monopoly is not properly controllabl;
| by national and state laws. 1t is only
as last resort that he favors the
plan. And even in that situation Mr.
Bryan said in his speech at New York:
II would prefer to see only the trunk
lines operated by the federal govern
ment and the local lines operated by
the several state governments"
AS evidence that Mr.. Bryan regards
government ownership of the railways
as only remote possibility, note his
language on that point: Il have
reached the conclusion that railroads
partake so much of the nature of a
monopoly that they must ultimately
become public property and be man.
aged by public officials in the interest
of the whole community in connection
lie ownership is necessary where COM
petition is impossible.
1t is on the principle of that latter
clause that the city of Los Angeles is
acting today. The water supply of this
community was owned and operated
| by monopoly down to a recent period
1t was obviously good public policy
for the city to own and control its
water service and the monopoly was
bought out, greatly to the public bene-
fit, as the event has proved. And
If the street railway service or any
other public utility should become an
intolerab BILE monopoly the community
would favor a following of the pre-
cedent in the water case.
In his statement TO the effect that
he would not, in any case, desire to
see government control of any but
trunk line railways Mr.. Bryan say ex-
plicitly that he believes the operation
of all the railroads by the federal gov
ernment would result in a centraliza-
tion which would all but obliterate
state lines" For that reason, in the
contingency of breaking railroad mon-
opoly. he would have the respective
states operate local railways.
The Republican leaders are sorely
pressed in their attempt to stem the
tide of popular enthusiasm for Mr..
Bryan. The bogy of government rail-
way ownership at which they pretend
to be alarmed is no more tangible
than that which causes the boy to
whistle as a stimulant to his courage.
