Sarah Bernhardt's Object.
Many people who know the Great
Sarah's love of official honors are
asking themselves why the famous
actress has suddenly resigned her
professorship of dramatic art at the
Paris Conservative to which she

The answer Is quite apparent, for
II was practically an open secret that
Nine. Sarah Bernhard accepted the
professorship because she thought Il
might be the means OF procuring for
her the coveted distinction OF the
cross OF the Legion OF Honor. which
had been refused her last January

she was recommended by the min

THE ARKANSAS VIEW.

A special dispatch from Malvern,
Ark, to the Arkansas Gazette gives
the details of a democratic convention
in which resolutions were adopted pro-
testing against the drastic railroad
legislation enacted in that state. The
article says:

The merry Widow" hat is being
maligned in some quarters. A Chicago
paper advises them as first aid to
shoppers, suggesting that the kind be
bought with teeth like buzz saws. as
they make shopping brief and ef-
fective, if rather murderous. Another
paper says that the hats are only
worn by suburban residents or by
people who have big back yards, be-
cause there no flats in the city big
enough to hold them.
OF course, these are base libels.
Two girls have been known to walk
abreast on the street wearing merry
Widows" though, naturally one fell
behind the other when passing
through a store doorway. And any
number of people can tell you that
they have seen girls wearing these
sailors board a street car, by, lust

went in the door To be sure, if a man
crowds into a group of girls wearing
them he is liable to get scratched up
some, but he ought to know better.

ILLlTERAcY IN THIS COUNTRY.

The Chicago Journal quotes from
figures compiled by the American
Journal of Education to show that,
contrary to general belief, the United
States is one of the most illiterate
civilized nations of the world. The
Journal of Education ho,ls the show
ing made by the census of 1900, ac-
cording to which 107 persons in every
1000 over ten years of age, or one
out of every nine, were illiterate, to
be such as not to give Americans rea-
sons for pride. The showing is made
the poorer when compared with Eu-
ropean countries. For instance, only
one person in forty in England, Scot
land and Holland are illiterate.
In Switzerland one person in 1856
cannot write, in Denmark one in 500,
in Sweden and Norway one in 1880,
and in Germany illiteracy is virtually
unknown. The ratio in 1903 among
all the army recruits was one in

MUSCLES AND MORALS.

A sensible talk on the part the
muscles play in aiding the morals
was given last night by DR.. G. ]. Fish
er Of New York before an audience in
the Chicago central Y. M. C. A. DR..
Fisher was speaking of the Christian
with a Crouch the irritable, morbid
and pessimistic man, who seem to be
constantly looking for trouble These
men," he said. "are saved psychology
ically but not physiologically, they are
constantly fighting temptations that
they have no business to be Obliged to
confront
Dr.. Fisher suggests this remedy:
"As matter Of fact, science has
demonstrated that many men are
wicked because they are weak. Such
men are environed by temptations

body. Let them build themselves up
physically and eat more wholesome
food and they will be officially
strengthened.
"The dividing line between the man
who says I believe / can and the
man who says 4 will is often just the
width Of a biceps. Statistics show
tnaC IL is Ine ndDDy-muSCleQ man WHO

can no longer be any doubt about the
intimate relationship which exists b.

morals. 1t is just as true that we'll
toned muscular system is the basis of
a richer and more varied psychical
life'
There is no question that DR.. Fisher
views the matter in the right light.
The physical part of man cannot be
strengthened without also adding
strength to the moral part. And the
man of physical strength has a conf.
dence in self and a power over self
that the man physically weak cannot
J feel.
DR.. Fisher would nave more physi-
cal instruction in the public schools

$500 and illiteracy is probably less
among the German people generally
than among these recruits.
1t is not the fault of Iowa that this
condition exists, because this state,
with Nebraska, leads the list in the
matter of education, having only % IL
literates per 1000.
Kansas is next, with Washington,
Utah, Oregon, Ohio, Wyoming, Mime
sofa, Illinois, Michigan, Colorado, In
diana, Idaho and Wisconsin following
in the order named. Illinois has AZ
per 1000. The other extreme is rep
resented by Louisiana, which has 1856
per thousand.
The good showing made by the
states of the west and middle west
is overbalanced by the widespread IL
literacy among the negroes and
poor whites of the south. A little
home missionary work in these re-
gions would be of benefit.
