Lessons i'm SEX physioIogy,

Referring to the recent movement start
ed by the Society of Sanitary and Moral
American Prophylaxis, the New YORK
School Journal now declares that the
necessity of recognizing sex in the prac.
teal teaching of pupils in the public
schools is before us in a greater force
than ever before. DR.. Mary Putnam, who
had investigated the schools of twenty
cities, found no attention given to sex in
struction, except in three girls high
schools, where women physicians gave
brief talks on topics relating to child
birth. The result was that shame. mys-
terry and actual evil were associated with
sex in the minds of children. especially
those over 10 years old" She opposes
the doctrine of leaving the matter alone
on the ground that disease will punish the
guilty. as many innocent ones are infect
ed for one guilty one. Dean Ballet of
the New York school of pedagogy say
the subject has passed the stage of in
auiry as to whether these subjects shall
be taught, for the present question is how
the subject is to be presented. John r.
Elliott of the New York ethical culture
schools opposes the plan Of having ply
sician brought in to teach sex knowl,
edge, as it increases the wrong notion
that the subject is unusual, and he makes
the practical suggestion of using the boy
and girl leaders to influence their mates
in the right direction.

CHAPTER XIV.

The Wopples family were true Bohe-
mians, and had not yet lost their way
TO the pleasant city. They accepted good
and bad fortune with wonderful equanim-
ity, and if their pockets were empty one
day, there was always a possibility Of
their being full the next When this was
the case they generally celebrated the
event by little supper, and as their
present season in Ballarat bid fair to be
successful one, Mr.. Theodore Wopples
determined to have convivial evening
after the performance was over.
That the Wopples family were favorites
with the Ballarat folk was amply seen
by the crowded house which assembled to
see 1.-THE Cruet Stand" The audience
were very impatient for the curtain to
rise, as they did not appreciate the over
ture, which consisted Of airs adapted for
the violin and piano by .Ir. Handel Wop-
pies, who was the musical genius Of the
family, and sat in the conductors seat,
playing the violin and conducting the or

was Miss Jcmima Wopples who presided
at the piano.
Then the orchestra played the ''Wop-

GOES DOWN IN
 CHULITNA RIVER
1. (. Murphy DrOwnS After Boat Strikes Snag But COmpan'
 ion Escapes.

l.. c. Murphy was drowned in the Chulitna river five miles above the Susitna forks last month while his partner, Fred Borden, swan to shore after their boat struck Snag and overturned. The stream is swift and boulders numerous, so that it Is difficult to breast the current and avoid collision with huge rocks. Murphy took down with him 5000, all the money belonging to the two men, but it was mostly in drafts. He was from Sudbury, Ohio.
 Murphy, Borden and two other men passed through Seward early in sum- mer on the Portland taking launch for use on the rivers. The other two men did not proceed far before they turned back and went outside, but Bordenand Murphy went up the SuSit- na and Chulitna rivers with their launch until it could not navigate far ther. They tied it up and went on in a small boat. After prospecting the region a short time they started back and their journey was terminated by the loss of the boat and Murphy'S life,
 The snag which caught the boat was a huge log stuck on bar. The men were thrown out but seized the log and saw their boat float away filling with water. The men were in nearly to their necks and the water was so cold they could not stand it and after ten minutes they started to swim to shore, 200 feet away. Borden reached another bar, from which he watched Murphy struggling in the stream and finally sink
 Borden stayed on the bar half day, trying to build raft from the drift wood, when an Indian came along in a boat going up stream. The Indian took Borden to Susitna station.

Doubt Broken Arm Story

san Francisco, Sept. IT. Jimmy Britt refuses to have the plaster cast re- moved from his left arm for an eXami- nation by disinterested surgeons. The charge is general that his arm was not injured and that he made the claim to avoid an inevitable knockout, It was plain that Cans was merely toying with him and that he had no chance.
 Britt asserts that he can beat Cans when his arm gets well and that he wants one more show, but the talk merely provokes levity in view of the contrast between the two men in the ring Monday.
 Late yesterday afternoon Cans issued a statement in which he says he was never hurt or worried by Britt at any stage of the fight. He says he is sorry Britt broke his arm and that he did not want the fight to end that way.
 Cans says he is willing to fight with Nelson if he wins from George Memsic at Los Angeles.

ay Cable to The Daily Gateway.

San Francisco, Sept. Slack Welch is referee. Cans entered the ring at 3:l4; Britt at 3:2O. Both received a tremendous ovation.
 First round:-MoStly infghting and Britt had a sight advantage.
 Second round:-Gans rushed Britt from the sound of the gong and before the end of the round had Britt groggy. Cans went to his corner laughing.
 Third round:-Began with an ex- change of leftS. Cans put right to the jaw which almost knocked Britt out. Cans was on top of Britt all the time.
 Fourth round-Both land hard blows. Cans has the better of the fighting and soon has Britt bleeding at the mouth from hard punches.
 Fifth round:-Both men started tamely. Britt leads and Cans counters. Cans swings a terrific right which is blocked by Britt, who instantly ap- pears to be in agony. The gong sounded for the end of the round and Britt walked to the center of the ring and said his hand was broken and he could not fight. The spectators shouted "Fake." and demanded that the fight go on. Bri tt s seconds also insisted but he said his arm was broken and he could not. Physicians then entered the ring and made an examination, which showed that Britt's arm was broken above the wrist. It was undoubtedly done in blocking by striking Cans elbow.

American Music.

From the Greenrille u.s. CO News.
The original music which is most char
acteristically American is that of tho
colored brother. This is mostly melody and
ragtime. Some of the leading songs are
1.-The Suwanee River" "Old Kentucky

others.
1t is said that In the Philippines the
negro song, "Therell Be a Hot Time IN
the Old Town Tonight" has been so much
sung by American soldiers while marching
or in camp that the natives believe 1t is
the national song, and when they want to
manifest American spirit and loyalty they
proceed to launch this ragtime song. 1. is
told that Christine Nelson has said that
when she found an American audience
heavy on her hands she knew well that
she could bring them out of the dumps by
rendering "Fhe Suwanee River

American spirit nothing can be compared
