PAPERS IN SCOTLAND.

The American custom of glancing
over the morning paper as you sip
your coffee at breakfast goes with you
abroad, but 1t is no simple thing al
ways to get morning paper says the
Boston Watchman. On coming down
to breakfast the first morning in Ed
1nburgh, l found there was no paper
to be had, but thinking it was a SIM
pie matter to buy Scotchman on the
street, l went out on Princess street
and walked three blocks without the
sight Of newsboy. Where can get
the mornings Scotchman?" I asked
to a policeman. He thought a mo-
ment. "Weel," said he, There's q
great news shop about three blocks
up, and ye might have one there"
followed the direction and found my
self in large news distributing de-
pot. There were stacks and stacks OF
newspapers and magazines all about.
II would like the morning Scotch
man." l said. The man in charge
looked bewildered. I'll see," he said,
little while, and then went back in
to the rear Of the store for fully three
minutes; at last he came back, say
ing, 1--WE haven't one" 'Well," said,
this is about the strangest thing 1
have seen. Can't get the morning pa
per here in Edinburgh" NO" he
said, "ye'll find it diffeecult" What
me where I can get one, for l want to
keep them out of the hands of the
people? Don't they want the people
to read them? Do they print papers
to keep the news secret?" II want We
to understand he said, that the
Scotchman is not published for the
general publeek, its published for the
| subscribers"
The Scotchman, you know, probab-
ly ranks next to the London Times
WELL" I said, this is all new to me;
in my country publishers want t.
have their newspapers read: they
want to sell all they can; they don't
| try to keep them out of the hands o1
the general publeek.' Can you tel
way?" I rejoined. "Do they want tc
see the morning paper. though per.
haps I will have to get letter Of in
PRODUCTION to buy one" "Weel," he
answered, there's a woman about 8
hundred yards from here who takes
the Scotchman: she might sell you
hers" I took the direction carefully
found the woman who took the
Scotchman-she kept a thread and
needle store-I bought her copy. and
reached the hotel half hour late fol
breakfast. which I had ordered before
going out on the dificult quest o.
buying a morning paper in the grea
city Of Edinburgh.

! also a fact that institutions which pur-
sue the plan of co-education are grad
ually having performance of fe-
male students, the tendency being for
the young men to drop out altogether
or go to other schools where their
daily associates are exclusively men,
This condition is attributed by some
to the fact that they desire to be re-
moved from the restraint imposed by
the constant presence of the young
women and the desire for more free
dom of action. This may be measur-
ably the cause Of it; but in my opinion
the principal cause of it is the incon-
gruity Of requiring maturing young
men to take their instruction from
women teachers. Not that women cam
not successfully master the particular
branch and impart the knowledge per-
tanning thereto. The successful teach
er must be companion and confiden-
tial adviser of his pupil, and often be
consulted and give advice upon sub
jects about which a woman may not
speak. They feel the want of this
freedom and sympathy. A teacher
must also take an interest in the
sports and pastimes of the pupils. How
can a woman do this with maturing
young men and escape the tongue of
scandal? The same difficulty attends
the male teacher who has for pupils
maturing young women.
Again. Experience shows that in CO.
educational schools the young men and
| women are left to their own guidance.
| scandals often arise entailing evil con-
| sequences which follow through life.
VQt II,
| identity of mental capacity and incli-

| woman are inferior to those of man.
| Mans natural bent is for the affairs
Of the exterior world and for the stern
| er activities of life. The woman pre-
| fers the home and it's duties, and her
nature is best fitted for them. 1t is
| only the exceptional one who has the
aptitude and inclination for active
business or professional pursuits, and,
generally, these are not fitted by ma

and mothers,-the destiny of all true
women. To develop men and women
according to natural law is the cor
rect idea A wise, cultivated woman
| is the natural teacher and companion
| of the maturing young woman; just
| as a well balanced, true, cultivated
| man is the best model for the young
man.

the Missouri Station, in the Iowa
II Homestead, discusses the merits Of the
bacon hog and the TAT hog Of the corn
belt and seems to come to the con-
clusion that the wen bred fat hog
must always be the bog for the corn
belt and that the quality Of the ba-
con pig Of Canada and the Northwest
Is due 10 the feeding Of small grains
rather than corn, and that each SEE
ZION has its own advantages. This is
ooubucss true, for the highest pric3l
har1S on the American market are the
hams made IN Southeast Virginia from
the Southern bacon hog, the Razor
Lack, or D1ney woods COoter. The men
who make the famous .Srnithfeld hams
long ago found out that they cannot
be made from the improved BerE~
5hireS and Poland Chinas but ONLY
from the woods ranger that lives all

time on corn gives him fat enough, and
nus HeSh cures into a bacon that no
IamWorth can compare with ana

ognzes as the acme of quality i'll cured

great future for the Southern bacon
pig if properly bred and selected for
his own special qualities and not as Il
competitor with the fat nos of the
corn belt.

THE ROAD LAW.

To the Editor;-The' road law of
Wake county should be materially
changed and revert to the first system
adopted by the county, to-Wit: that
Raleigh be the center (the hub) and
the construction radius of ten miles
from the city limits, this would en-
brace all roads leading from the city
(the spokes) within the extension.
And only collect a road tax within
those boundaries, including the city,
leaving the roads on the outside of
said bOundries to be worked by the
people therein, either by working
themselves or taking themselves for
their own benlIt.
The bridges, however, should be
built and kept i'll repair by the county.
Now / propose a most important idea
Y Wake county good roads commits
sion should be appointed of fine busi-
mess qualifications. N whose hands is
placed all authority for the construct
ing of the roads and the building of
the bridges and their care and pro
lection.
And in this connection q board of
trustees should be appointed to hold
in trust all funds raised for road
purposes and held by them in trust
road and bridge expenditure. and let
them be presidents of two or more
banks, with whom this fund is depos
tied in connection With the chairman
of the board of county commissioners.
who shall endorse and issue the checks
for all expenditures.
And next have a chief engineer
whose duty it will be to formulate,
plan, direct and purchase all mate
rial and make a monthly report to
the commissioners of all transactions.
Making the trustees and engineer
q finance committee, who will report
TO the chairman of board all vouchers
for payment The funds will then be
safeguarded and kept i'll a business
like manner for mOnthlp reports.

Encouragement 10 Farmers.

When the price reached cents our
business men advised the farmers to
sell 1t was said we could not get 10
cents. Business men published letters
urging farmers to sell ut s cents. This
was done in all good faith but it was
wrong. Our business men now see 1t
was wrong. But their influence went
q long way and caused much cotton 10
go to market for less than cost of pro-
ductlon-the same influence caused
farmers to sell their 1905 crop before
