which regards charity merely IS q disagreeable necessity, a duty which
wealth implies, but which the giver has little sympathy; such charity as
this does not satisfy the worthy poor. They crave a human interest in

who is not''a student can long remain really efficient. If a
teacher wishes to impart a piece of knowledge, she must not

The benefit Of advertising In the
newspapers in a way to attract atten-
ton has been demonstrated anew In
the case of a weekly publication In
New York. Four years ago the sub
scribers did not number $4,000. Chiefly
by means of display advertisements in
the leading daily newspapers Its circu-
lation has been increased to 100000.
The ads. were striking and convincing.
Many small merchants in the cities
are apt to think that, while the depart
ment stores should advertise. advertis-
Ing Is proftless expenditure for the
small business that finds Its custom only
in the immediate neighborhood of the
store These men fail to take into con-
sideration the fact that In many In
stances the department store began life
as a nelghborhood store and increased
Its business by judicious advertising.
Advertising Is just as profitable for
the small business as for the large one
Judlcious newspaper publicity comes
first, Of course but in connection with
this newspaper advertising the small
merchant may issue from time to time
a store paper. Some kind Of advertise

of goods sent out Of the store. and In

We do not suppose young people-or
even people who insist on being as
young las they look"-are paying much
attention to the grave discussion by
learned doctors Of the pathology of
kissing, or of the by-products of that
gentle art In the way Of germ diff
fusion. Yet an unqualified condemna-
ton of kissing by an authoritative med
ical body would In this age Of science
be no negligible matter. Crusades
against the practice would be sure to
be started by somebody somewhere, and
the splenetic philosopher and satirist
who wondered what fool 1t was that
first invented kissing" would be deemed
to have been indicated at last against
the whole civilized world and countless
generations of it. So 1t is reassuring
to find that the anti-kissing opinions
that have been expressed at the Allan
tic City convention of American physi-
clans have been misunderstood. While
1t Is commended that the habit of In
discriminate and wholesale kissing OF
babies is responsible for the spread of
consumption in many cases, and while
even incipient victims of that disease
are warned to refrain from osculatory
salutations, no general edict against
kissing Is contemplated. LET healthy
young people kiss" as usual, says one
authority, and another adds that infec-
ton by oscillation Is rare, anyway,
since persistent exposure" Is required
to bring about implantation Of the tu-
berculosis germ. But the suggestion
that would-be kissers and would-be
kissed should exchange authentic GER
tificates Of health before translating
longings into facts is somewhat pro-
sale and academic. What would be-
come of the stolen kiss, the kiss spon-
taneous, the kiss unconscious? But the
medical discussion of kissing has at
any rate shown that the poets who adj
vised long, long Kisses" or kissing
It'll the cows come home" are danger
GUS guides. Persistent exposure" at
least should be avoided. Hygienlc kiss
ing implies prudent intervals and the
staccato style. If you are abrupt and
disconnected in your kissing the lurk-
ing germs-if any-are baAied, even II
the number awarded and received be
rather excessive from the standpoint
Of grabbed age.

forgive him because Of his un-
selfish, tireless. efficient and wonderful
labors In the days following the dread

one else was given the credit, even by
his enemies, of infusing into the people
OF the Frustrated city the determination
to build out of the ruins a finer and
greater San Francisco than the one de-
stroyed.
In that period Of stress Schmitz dis
played qualities Of mind and heart
which converted enemies into friends
For time 1t looked as II Schmitz had
reformed genuinely and for all time.
He seemingly cut loose from the vi
cious ring of associates which had made
the old San Francisco a stencil in the
nostrils Of the respectable residents,
In that period Of hope the best men
Of San Francisco. who had long avoid.
ed Schmitz, became his associates and
advisers He was even rendered ban
Quet as a mark of the new esteem in
which he was held.
But the reform of Schmitz proved
transitory. Out Of the ruins OF the
city emerged the Municipal Crib. "
Before the earthquake the Municipal
Crib" was one Of the ulcers of the
vice-infested city. 1t was the most no.
torious den and the most profitable OF
Its kind in the town. 1t yielded a rev
enue estimated at $500 a day. 1t was
practically a corporation the stockhold-
ers being the men who controlled the
government of San Francisco. Schmitz
was said to be considerable stock
holder, being represented In the wretch.
ed undertaking by his brother.
1t was the temperance Of the "Mu.
nicipal Crib" and the general suspicion
that Schmitz was one of the chief ben.
eficiaries of the vile institution that
caused his new friends to run from him
with horror and institute a campaign
to purge the city of Its Mayor and all
his associates in the wild orgy Of mar,
keting vice and crime.

beautiful gardens and fruited fields,

nothing but thick wilderness. Once this

hot, sultry summer day, and while
searching for a shady spot In which

In consequence Of his long wandering,
he asked his attendants for a drink of
water. They seated him on the soft,
green grass In the cool shade of big
old trees, and then the cavaliers sepa-
rated to hunt for a refreshing spring.
Meanwhile, the king wanted to find
out more about his resting place, and
began to grope about him with his
hands. Thus he discovered strawber-
ries growing all about him, says the
New York Herald. He ate them; SO,
partly quenching his thirst, he waited
quietly for his gentlemen. After a
short time they returned, some with
empty cups, some with pearly spring
water.
The king then said to his attendants
Have the trees cut down around this
place where my hands found the re-
freshing Strawberries. Here shall arise
a town whose name shall be Eperies
(strawberry) in remembrance of this
day, for all time"
AS the king commanded, SO It was

place is town whose arms carry the

Several thousand young men hov

Several thousand young men have
completed the formal part Of their ed.
ucation within the past few weeks,
and are about to begin their independ-
emit life. They may be roughly divided
Into two classes: those who are per-
suaded that they owe something to
the world, and those who insist that
the world owes them living. What
becomes Of these young men In the ft,-
ture depends largely on the class to
which they belong. If youth holds
that the world owes him a living he
will not be particularly valuable
member Of society, but rather a sort
Of bill collector with grievance that
he has to call 80 many times to get
his due. But, the youth with a sense
Of obligation to his generation Is the
one who will rise. All the uplifting
forces OF society have worked together
to make him what he Is to give to
him life In an orderly community, to
establish schools Tor. the training of
his mind, churches for the uplifting
Of his spirit. and business opportuni-
ties for earning his daily bread: and
he seeks to repay In what measure he
Is able the debt that he owes to those
who have gone before. Such men as
he give their time to the Improvement
Of the community in which they live.
