OF MORE than ordinary int
Pueblo Chieftaip.

OF MORE than ordinary interest
should be the announcement of the
opening of "MOther 3 schools in Lon
don. These are schools where for a
noinalm sum women are to be given
lessons in the duties of maternity. The
schools are to be supervised by the best
medical and hygienic authorities and
taught not only how to become better
mothers but better wives. The care of
infants is also to be given special at
tention. 1t is to be hoped that be-
yond this considerable attention will
be given to the physical and mental
condition of the inmates for it is a
fact we'll known to students of this
subject that the prenatal condition of
the mother has a wonderful influence
upon the destiny of her child. The
school should be a success and certainly
it il badly needed. Some ono has well
said that every child has the right to
be well born and yet how little thought
and study has been given to this sub
ject and many a boy and many girl
has gone through life handicapped by
some prenatal influence which has
written failure over almost every act.
We give more attention to the bfssd.

The railroad comm ission of Georgia has issued an order compelling the railroad companies of that state to publish in the daily newspapers an nouncement of all changes made in the schedules of trains for three days previous to their going into effect A second paragraph of the order pro- vides that the time tables shall be printed continuously in some news paper of general circulation, pro- vided that the rate charged by the newspaper shall not exceed the rate provided for sheriff's advertisements Some time after the 2-cent rate agi tation, railroads in many states, in. cluding Pennsylvania, discontinued publishing their time tables in the newspapers. This resulted in great inconvenience to the patrons of the roads. No satisfat tory reason was ever given why this advertising was discontinued. Being common carriers the railroads ought to give the public all the information about the roads to which the people are entitled, and time schedule announcements are cer- tainly very important information. This information should be conveyed through the newspapers as the best and most convenient medium The railroads should furnish it voluntarily, without being foEced by rairload com- mission order or law to do so.

CHANGED THE TYPES.
The Story of a Ven0efuI Wife and .
 Bible Error.

The Story of a VsnOeful Wife and a
 Bible Error.
 In the famous library of Wolfenbut- tel. in Hesse, is an old Bible which is greatly treasured. It appears that in that passage in Genesis where God told Eve that Adam shall be her mas ter and shall rule over her the German translation Is, "Und CT soil dein herr sein." Her." which means master, does not occur in this Bible, but instead there appears the word 'narr," which means fool.
 The error was caused by a quarrel between the printer and his wife in the year 1880. The wife was vengeful, and in the silent watches of the night she entered the room where her hus- band had been setting type and mali ciously changed herr to "narr." The printer was arrested after the book had been printed and the mistake dis covered, but hls apprentice testified that he saw the wife steal into the composing room and alter the word. The woman was imprisoned for blas- pheny and died in prison.
 Orders were given that all the copies of the edition should be destroyed. This was done, with the exception of the one copy in the Wolfenbuttel H. brary.

Every year the idea of sending Christmas greetings over the tele- phone is ecoming more popular among the people of Connecticut. This is particularly true with regard to the use of the toll lines of the Southern New England Telephone company.
 At Christmas above all other times in the year one wishes to hear the voice of friends or relatives about the state, and it is an easy matter to step to the telephone and hold a few moments conversation with those who, except for the Southern New England Telephone system, covering the entire state, would Oe from this point of view inaccessible.

DULLES IN BATTLE.

The 6arrOom Type of Rowdy When
 Put to the Test of War.
 ''The barroom bully is an arrant cow ard when put to the test of war" With this saying of the late General Rose crans as his topic, a speaker at civic betterment meeting discoursed on the ways of the average bad man" of the modern cities. He read from a writing of General RoSecrans, familiarly known as .'Old Rosy" in which that officer de scribed a regiment of men from Gin cinnati in the civil war in which there were many of the barroom bully class who had been pressed into the service or entered as substitutes to earn a few hundred dollars. When these men came face to face with the grim fight CTS in gray of the COnfederacy and they realized that in warfare the rife makes the puny weakling a match for the muscular giant, the bullies just turned pale and flunked. They couldn't stand rife fire any more than they would the steely bayonet. Big, brawny bruisers who had been wont to swag- ger about town with chips on their shoulders looking for some weaker ves- sel to tackle found in the fire and smoke of battle that, while their frames ard muscles were large, their real courage was mighty small and of the crave1ly coward sort.
 Better take the pale faced, modest hammered Sunday school lads when you want real soldiers-men who can face the bullets or the bayOnets of the than the brawny red faced bullies of our cities, who, when they are outdone in an argument, want to resort to brute force to settle the question in dispute" wrote General ROsecrans, and he should have known.

John chinarnan,a Joke.

All around Chaotung lies abundance uf silver. copper. coal and iron, but the Chinese have very primitive ways of getting the minerals. They admit foreigners are tic best atathat kind of thing. because they have the power of seeing underground. Some years ago two Japanese went to Chaotung expIor- ing for silver. The authorities wanted to test their powers. They buried some silver ingOts on the parade ground. Then they took the Japanese a walk that way. "Is there any silver about hereY' they asked. No" said the Japanese. this is not the kind of soil In which silver is founG." Then the buried metal was produced from un- der their feet, amid the loud hilarity of all Celestial officialdom, since which time the ChaOtungese have had pro- digious contempt for foreigners.

when one Is among people who

points that one feels acutely the Of
fensiveness OF the English habit OF
loud talking in public, says the Lon
don Daily News. II Is habit which
has grown alarmlngly OF late years.
Formerly II was confined to Harry
and Harriet, who employed II on
holidays. partly as an expression OF
good humor, partly as an evidence OF
social equality an intimation that
they were not to be terrorized by
their "betters." The habit In them
was excusable II deplorable.
But the habit has spread. Loud.

mark of the West rs well as OF the

portion OF the middle class whose
daughters have been to certain

her vacuous and insolent shrillness
that English character Is written
