Study by Travel.

Mr.. Mosely, the British commits
sione- who came over to study oCl
system of education three years ago
has a plan for continuing to keep
England in touch with us education
ally. He has persuaded the Cunard
and other transatlantic lines to fur
nish passage for teachers at nominal
rates during the winter season. Be-
ship accommodations for 500 will be
provided. Arrangements will be made
to care for teachers on their arrival
here and to distribute them among
university centers. This is a form of
educational reciprocity of which there
have been numerous manifestations
in England within year The inter-
change of visits between French and
British workingmen was a phase of
it, as as the fraternizing of schoolboys
from either side of the channel. Very
recently French university fellows
were welcomed as the guests of the
University of London. The institu-
ton of the Rhodes scholarships gave
a great impetus to 1t. In a sense the
Mosely plan is an extension of the
"sabbatical year" system under which
the more fortunately placed American
college instructors study abroad every
seventh year on full or half pay.
Such an exchange of teachers be-
tween nations Is bound to be produc-
tive of heightened interest and in
creased efficiency. Why should not
the plan be adopted here? asks the
New York World. If similar induce
ments are held out to American teach
ers to visit Europe for study and i'm
proving travel it is likely that the
main difficulty would be to restrict
the number desiring to go. 1t should
be feasible to secure like concessions
Tor cheap transportation during the
off season Of travel and to make pro-
vision for expenses. The benefit to
American teachers of educational
trips abroad under such auspices
would be inestimable. They could
visit the culture centers of Europe at
a most favorable time, when the tide
of summer travel is over and the
schools are in session. They would
bring back all that is newest in edu-
cation in Berlin, Paris and Oxford.
Or they could visit historic Athens
and Syracuse without danger to
health, which is hardly possible in
midsummer for persons of northern
strain. Pupils not less than teachers
would profit by the plan, and boards
of education might we'll allow partial
pay to those undertaking such trips
for general study.

Terrible Loss to Mankind

The editor of the Bronson (Minn.)
Budget has been rejecting as follows
upon the Importance Of environment:
Johnny Olson, eldest son of one An
drew Olson, former owner of the
Roseau-Stephen stage line, is now a
convict in the prison at Saltwater,
having shot man over a game of
cards. The fate of this otherwise
brilliant lad would have been an en-.
tirely different story had his early
environment and training been diff
ferent. Reared amid the scenes of
lawlessness and vice common to the
frontier, while yet a mere boy he had
acquired the reputation of being the
swiftest sport and most successful
poker shark along the line, and we
hear the news of his wild career with
no semblance Of surprise. He would
have been credit to his state had
his youth been led through channels
OF usefulness, and guided in the
straight and narrow way. An orna.
ment to the legal fraternity of any
state, lawmaker, a leader among the
leaders OF the nation. Let us not with
mere chagrin prospect this bit of
ruined humanity. We cannot too
closely observe the laws of God and
man. Upon the children depends the
fate of the nation" AS Capt. Bunsby
would wisely remark: 1.-THE bearings
OF this observation lays in the appli-
cation on it."

The proposition to tax bachelors is

The London Truth suggests the collec-

First woman Commandnnt.

For the frst time in the history Of the
United States a woman has been desig-
mated by the president as commandant OF
a navy yard. The navy yard It is true,
is only a little one at Sackett's Harbor, on
Lake Ontario in New York state, but II is
a navy yard nevertheless, and at one time
in it's history was famous.
The woman thus honored is the widow
of Albert H. Metcalfe, late commandant
of the yard, and she is the third that
bears the name Metcalfe to hold the POSI-
ton. Mr.. Metcalfe who succeeded his
father as commandant, died a few weeks
ago, and as the position left vacant was
the only one Of its kind in this county
to which a civilian could aspire, many
applications were filed at washington by
veterans Of the civil and Spanish wars
all OF whom thought they were fitted to
look after the few hundred dollars worth
of property remaining in the ancient yard
Mrs. Metcalfe was an applicant and the
records Of her husband and father-in-law
in the position counted in her favor.
When It came TO the final selection she
received the appointment. She has al
ready assumed her duties and Is now in
charge Of the unfinished hulk of what was
to have been the man-of-war New Or
leans, as well as a score of pieces of old
ordnance that are no longer OF use except

city that women be employed on the police
force With equal gravity his honor prom
ises to give the matter his careful attention.
Mrs Goldziers enthusiasm on behalf of
her sex is well known. She is a member
Of half a dozen clubs in New York, believes
in the single tax idea and is prominent in
equal suffrage circles.
1t is said the managers of the Young
Women's Christian association of Phila-
delphia, In order to relieve the congestion
at the home and make room for the long
waiting-list of country girls, have come to
the conclusion that some or the residents
of the home who are quite 30 years old,
and have been there some fifteen years, are
old enough to care for themselves If they
rule to that effect has been posted, and is
to take effect next September.
Mrs. A. E. McCrae, whose landscape

Orleans; 20 plan out possible improvements,
rounding them, and later to carry out her
plans. Were all stations and their. grounds

much of its monotony and distastefulness.

American society.

Mrs. T. p. O'Connor, wife Of the noted
Irish journalist and member Of Parlia-
ment, takes sharply TO task a London
editor who declared that American So
ciety is at best a distant copy of thu
British original" Mrs. O'Connor is an
American woman, a native of Texas, and,
having had opportunities for judging both,
may be accepted as a competent Judge.
This Is the way she riddles the British
conceit: American society and American
fashions are absolutely different from those
in England they are essentially American
and nothing else.
Society in America is intimate, gay,
lively, and people are interested in each
other Everybody talks and laughs at
once people are joking, cheerful, hopeful
and confident. Is this correct description
of English society? Not as 1 have seen 1t.
There is a rooted idea in England that to
be thoroughly well bred one must be Inn
personal, and long years ago Ouida wit
lilly remarked that If English people
were debarred talking about Mr.. Glad
stone and the weather a dead silence oil
over the country would be the result.
THE American mind and the American
manner are absolutely individual; the very
basis Of society is built upon an absolutely
ulHeTenL IOunuatlOn from tnht IN England.
The fabric is woman, the trimming is man;
here the fabric is man. the trimming is
woman.
'It is the fashion in America for women
TO be agreeable, cordial, affectionate,
friendly and complimentary TO each other.
II an American woman wants apprecia-
ton or wants a compliment or wants a
confidante she can get II in another
woman; therefore she is more independent
Of men than her English sisters, who must
depend upon the soothing prevarications
or the truthful compliments, as the case
may be, of man for her comfort and happi-
ness.
AN American woman is not afraid by
extreme graciousness of manner to COM
promise herself into intimacy; 1t is simply
manner, and is simply calculated to make
another human being at ease and COM
Portable for the moment. You will see utter
strangers in America talking amiably and
agreeably to each other who are never to
meet again-only ships that pass in the
night In England II one human being
is too amiable and too agreeable every one
suspects him Of some Interior motive When

Manitoba. If you own a piece of real estate
and want to sell It you get what is called
a Torren's title. This means that you take
the deeds and papers and have an alb
stract made Of the title back to the begin
ming. You hand this abstract to the OFF,
cial register. He looks it over, and IL he
finds 1t is correct he will, upon the pay
ment of small percentage, give you q
certificate guaranteeing the title. This GER
tihcate is merely a sheet OF paper with
blanks on the back, where the notations
Of loans or mortgages can be made You
can take this title and sell your land by it,
You can borrow money upon 1t, for the
purchaser will know that It is all right.
II any defect should afterward arise the
government will make that defect good.
1t will purchase the land at the market
price then existing and, in short, will sup
port your title. The fund for such pay
ments comes out of the percentages re-
ceived for issuing the titles. In other words,
all the lands sold under this system con-
tribute their share to the fund guarantee
ing such titles, and to all titles so issued
for the future. 1t makes our titles abso-
lutely sound"

There are many loan associations here.
A great deal Of real estate selling and
loaning is done and some of the big land
companies are making large profits. The
secretary of such a company here, one Of
the biggest in Canada, which is handling
some millions of it's own and railroad lands.
tells me he has made $40 for every one he
has put in the company. Another COM
pany started with a grant which cost them
dollar or so an acre on installments.
They paid the first installment and the
sales from the lands then began to come
in. These were used for the future pay
ments, so that only $500 was actually
invested by the original incorporators. One
of the men who went into that deal is
said to have made 100000 and another TO
have netted almost 100000.

Every sort of fashionable skirt. accord
ing TO the new regime, must be circular in
cut. The most graceful effects are to be
obtained by this mode, and here is sketched
a walking skirt, with pleats in front and
back to prevent sagging. The skirt fits
smoothly over the hips and falls thence In
graceful ripples to the floor. skirt OF
this kind may be made OF any seasonable
material, being very modish as a walking
skirt or as part of a tailored gown. The
pattern is not difficult 10 follow and the
least experienced will find no barriers to
its successful production. Broadcloth,
serge. brilliantine, a novelty wool or silk
may be used. For the medium size ~
yards OF 4l-inch material are needed.
