Forcing Education.
From Golfers

8.
Forcing the youthful mind Is a practice
no longer obtaining in SCHOOLS of the best
standing, but not yet obsolete In many of
the common schools. In schools which rep
resent the dominant ideas Of education to-
day. stimulation interest, suggestion pre-
vail. and driving is avoided. If there has
been some leaning toward the prosaic there
is now fresh interest In stimulating the
among the useful. The greatest problem of
education unsolved today relates TO girls.
Heretofore their education has been mere
copy of that long ago established for boys.
Some day genius will come along and con-
ceive thoughts which shall form the basis
of an education which shall help girls to all
their best possibilities. without dissipating
their strength ON lines of effort established
for natures in some respects entirely diff
ferent.

Then on the recommendation OF

cradle skeleton, without appetite and
hardly able to walk across the room;
had ugly dreams at night no disposi

began to shun society.
Il finally gave up the regular minis

my weight increased steadily; | had
lost some SO pounds, but under the

GREAT FEAT OF RUNNER.
Covered Six Hundred Miles in Five
Days Over the Roughest Kind
of Country.

The Tarahumares, a great tribe OF
the northern Sierra Madre, are the
greatest runners on earth, not In re-
gard to speed but In endurance. They
have been known to average ITO miles
per day there is an absolute record
that is indisputable of Tarahumare
sent with an important government
document that necessitated an imme
date answer covering the distance
there and back, 600-mile jaunt in five
days, or an average of 120 miles COW
cred in each "a hours, not counting
the time lost while the answer was
being prepared, and it must be re-
membered that this feat was not per-
formed upon a fair road or on an UNI
dulating plain. II was over the wild
est country that the Sierra Madre af-
fords; up and down paths that the
very deer would hardly esteem trial;
Che only level ground encountered was
the crossing of a deep river. Also, the
journey was done on 'pinole," a
species of popcorn ground down and
mixed with water, and the runner car
ried his camp equipment, a native
woven wh'+o wool blanket.

KAFFIR WOMAN WAS BRAVE

One Of the first explorers of the
interior of South Africa was William
Cotton Oswell, noted hunter and a
friend of Livingstone, to whom he
rendered important aid In his biog-
raphy the following story is given
from one of his African letters: IAN
incident highly creditable to Kaf1ir
womanhood occurred just as we
reached Mabotse. The women, as is
their custom, were working in the
fields, for they hoe, and the men sew.
A young man, standing by the edge
of the bush, was chatting with them.
A lioness sprang on him, and was
carrying him off, when one of the
women ran after her, caught her by
the tail and was dragged for some
little distance. Hampered by the man
In her mouth and the woman behind
her, she slackened her pace, where

back and hit her across the nose and
head with a heavy short-handled hoe
until she dropped her prey and skunk

The Bishop and the Bath.

A certain bachelor very fastidious
about his toilet, was especially fond
of his bath and exacted extreme care
of his tub.
Once when about to leave town he
gave strict orders to the house maid
about the care of his "bawth" and
said that ''no one was to be allowed
the use of 1t"
The temptation grew on her and the
girl took a plunge. The bishop re-
turned unexpectedly and, finding
traces of the recent stolen bath, he
questioned the maid so closely that
she had to confess that she was the cul-
prit Eying her sternly, he said:
MARY, your using my tub is bad
enough, but what worries me most is
that you would be willing to do any
thing behind my back that you would
not do before my face. Judges Mag

Long Fibre CT silkworn.

Authorities and popular works diff,
fer greatly in their estimates of the
length of the fibre in the cocoon of the
domestic silkworm, Bombyx mort.
Published statements of the length of
this fibre could be cited which range
all the way from LOO feet to eleven
miles. Even SO good an authority as
the Encyclopedias Britannica places
1t at 300 yards. Recent measure.
ments made in the division of ento
mology show that with certain Milan
ese yellow cocoons raised In the Unit

France the fibre varies in length from
1888 to 1,195 yards.-Forest and

Her Time AL Taken

The average woman thinks the sun
and stars would cease to shine sooner
than that she could interfere with the
regular routine of household duties.
A Sabetha woman was recently In
formed by her physician that she
would have to have an operation per-
formed. She said she didn't see how
she could-that Monday was washing
day, Tuesday ironing day, Wednesday
the missionary society met, Thursday
was the day to clean up, Friday to
bake, Saturday to give the children
their baths and mend. If he could get
1t in Sunday after dinner and before
evening service perhaps she would
try it.-Sabetha Herald.

The Virtue Of Abbreviation.

A writer in the Evening Standard,
complaining of the London habit of
abbreviation, says he would like to
hang the "fiend who christened the
Baker street and Waterloo railway

speaks with a certain anXiety-for it
at least gave currency to both those
authorizations. On the opening day
of the Shepherds Bush and Mansion
House line a forgotten omnibus driver

twopenny tube" at the people who
turned from his omnibus and took tG
the bowels of the earth. The officials
who could build railway could not
name It, The drivers gibe fixed the
word In the same way the London
public. though quite ready to travel
by the Baker street and Waterloo
railway wanted to save its breath
and for the economy of hurried speech
the suggestion was here made-Ba-
kerloo. The two words have been
taken to the heart of travellers, and
received, official sanction; for at
Trafalgar square you are directed to
the 'Bakerloo Tube" The phrase is
swift, convenient. as a matter Of
speech, and has just as much relation

Washington, May 16.-The deci-
sion of the senate committee on in
teroceanic canals is in favor of a sea-
level canal across the isthmus OF
Panama. Senator Carmack's return
from Tennessee gave the sea-level
advocates a majority of one vote
and consequently Chairman Millard
was the only one of the minority
faction who attended the meeting.
There was no other business before
the committee and it remained in
session just long enough to author
ize Senator Kittredge to make the
report to be presented to the senate
as soon as the minority may have an
opportunity to prepare their views
for a lock canal The two reports
will be made at the same time.

of sea-level canal be. recommended

Jolt For Brewers in Ohio.

1t is unlawful to send beer or other
intoxicants even to private families
in wholesale quantities in townships
or municipalities which have been
voted dry, according to an opinion
just rendered by Attorney General
Eliis. This is regarded as the most
SWEEPING legal temperance ruling
ever given in Ohio. The right of a
resident in dry territory to have a
case of beer sent to his home has al
ways heretofore been recognized. But
this seems to have been a right rec
ognized by common consent, rather
than by the law of the state. While
the Brannock district option law, ap-
plying only to parts of municipalities
grants the right to have beer sent to
the home in wholesale quantities, Ell
lis points out that there is no such
provision in either the Beal law, ar-
plying TO municipalities as q whole,
or the Beatty law, applying to town
ships. Hence, it is unlawful for in
toxicants to be sent in any manner
into any dry municipalities or town.
ships of the State where a beverage
use is to be made of it. The opinion
is rendered in answer to an inquiry
from brewing company which want
ed to sell to private consumers.

paid the following tribute to the late
Car Schurz:
Il look upon the death of Mr..
Schurz as & national affection
Though he lad reached length oil
years, and though his activity had
waned, he was still power and
strong influence in the life and senti-
ment of his countrymen. To those
who priced, high, disinterested pat
riotism, he continued to be an inspir-
ing leader; to those who loved un-
flinching moral courage, he was con
slant teacher, and to those who aspir-
ed to the highest ideals in civic life
he was an unsailing guide. His ex-
ample and lofty career are left to us
to stimulate the young to virtuous
emulation and to encourage all in
right living. Such men can i'll be
spared, and what they leave to us
should be carefully kept as precious
legacy"
