The Hope Of the Country.

The Hope Of the Country.
Mother and child are the interest
ing couple; they are the hope of
France" he says; "and there are vital
reasons why the numerous and highly
organized day nurseries of the Societe
des Creches, while having their vital
raison d'etre after the child is well
weaned, slow weaned you understand,
ought not to separate the baby from
its mother even in the day time!"
The Societe des Creches has so such
establishments in Paris. Twelve of
them are financially sustained by the
municipality; but you would not know
them from the others. All are run on
the same plan. Has the poor mother
a legal domicile in the ward? 1t is
the only question asked when there
is room; and baby is fed and cared
for all day while mamma works, till
night, when mamma comes to take it
home with her. Apart from these,
many wards contain their own special
day nurseries,; not to speak of fash
ionable ladies' recently established
Dolls houses"-very smart and
pretty for those who can gain admis-
sion; while all survivors in the strug-
gle for existence at the age of two
years slip safe into the great maternal
schools, the pride of Paris for ten
years back.

The advantages of foreign travel and
the chance to compare the schools of
another country with those Of their
own, which Mr.. Alfred Mosely's gem
eroslty has bestowed upon English
teachers, may be enjoyed next year by
thousand American "schoolma' ANS"
and schoolmasters. DR.. William Fl.
Maxwell, the superintendent Of the New
York City schools, Is arranging a re-
turn visit. 1t is planned to select the
teachers from all parts OF the United
States, and to include In the itinerary
not merely the schools OF England and
Scotland, but those OF several Contin-
entail countries. 1t is hoped that New
York City will pay the expenses Of
such teachers as are selected to rem
resent the metropolis, and that local
boards of education elsewhere will nav
at least half the expenses of those
whom they delegate.

above all, an influence that can reach
Into the least expected places and CON-
pei the least suspected men to do Its
bidding. A cynic, reading the story
Of the Systems" attempts to seize this
money, might reasonably contend that
there Is no honesty, no strenuous vir-
tue, and no conviction nor faith that
these tireless schemers cannot, at their
will, debauch. OF course, the healthy
mind knows better; but the power Of
the financial giants to sway the or
gans of public opinion, to coerce editors
and delude clergymen, and to make so
great a part of the business world their
accomplices, Is something to give US
all pause, Is the opinion Of Ridgeway's.
The subtlety of the power is more ap-
palllng than its mere brute strength.
And Its most dangerous present mani
feStation Is its ability to manipulate
by trickery or corruption the influences
which create or direct public opinion
from the pulpit, from the rostrum, and
In print. Of all the perils that beset
Tree government, none is SO funda-
mentally destructive as the peril of
press controlled In the interests of re-
action and operating by misrepresen-

JUNGLE HUNTING IN PANAMA

Guide with a Big Machete is Usually
Necessary.
As there are as yet practically nc
roads in xthe interior of Panama and
trails are nearly always tributary ia
the nearest river, travel is almost en-
tirely done by canoes, says a writer in
Recreation. The native cayuco or
piragua of the Interior is usually made
of native cedar, narrow, fiat bottom
ed and ending in a fat, platform-like
bow and stern. This peculiar construc-
tiOn is to enable one to land directly
over the bow or stern when, due to
the nature of the bank, 1t Is impossible
to more than force the bow to solid
ground
A trip up the river needs little prepa-
ration as compared with a camping trip
to a cold climate. A good guide with
his big working knife or machete can
do wonders. With this he can cut
trail, clean the camp site, make a shell
ter or house, bedstead, a Mattress
or thatch and a cover for the fire
all fastened together with vine ropes
which he cuts near by. He can cut
firewood and dress game, slice bacon
or potatoes, chop out an impromptu
paddle or palanca, "cut rubber" dig
roots, get out fair-sized logs and. II

AS your canoe slips quietly along
the bank of some good river, the charm
Is derived both from the beauty OF
the scene and from the feeling of ex-
pectation regarding new sights and
chances at odd sorts of game. You

One of the most productive sources
or revenue in Great Britain is the in.
come tax. France also finds this tax
successful method of raising money,
and 1t is not unknown in other Euro
pean countries. European writers on
political economy maintain that it is
the Ideal tax. The inheritance tax
also is common abroad. When a man
dies his heirs have to pay over to the
state certain percentage Of their in
herltance. These taxes are resorted to
In America. In thirty-two of the States
some form Of Inheritance tax is levied
either upon the property inherited by
collateral heirs only, or upon that
which goes to direct as we'll as to dis
tant heirs. 1t varies from one-half
Of one per cent to twelve per cent,
according to the amount and nearness
OF kin. In the wealthy States the tax
yields considerable revenue. The tax
on Income Is much less common, for
IL prevails In only six States. and is
not rigidly enforced. In some States
NAS 40 CFluCuCe vi an attempt TO
make 1t equitable, for income derived
from property otherwise taxable Is ex-
empt. The right to raise money by
levying on inheritances and incomes is
one which the States may exercise at
discretion. They may not raise money |
by taxes on imports; that right Is re-
served to the national government. The
national government has on more than
one occasion levied taxes which the
States may also levy. There was a
national Income tax from 1862 to 1872,
and In 1894 Congress provided again
for such a tax, but the Supreme Court
declared the law unconstitutional. The
asst time lnherltances were taxed by

The United States has become a very

development of mining the past year
indicate that never before in the his

during 1905 there was produced In

The Homeland! The Homeland! Th,

There is no night in the Homeland, but
aye the fadeless morn.
I'm singing for the Homeland, my heart
is aching here;
There's no pain in the Homeland to
which I'm drawing near.
My Lord is in the Homeland, with angels
bright and fair;
There's no sin in the Homeland. and no
temptation there.
The music of the Homeland is ringing in
my ears,
And when l think of the Homeland my
eyes gush out with tears;
For those l love in the Homeland are
calling me away,
To the rest and peace of the Homeland,
and the life beyond decay,
For there's no death in the Homeland.
there's no sorrow above;
Christ brings us all to the Homeland of
His eternal love.
