From the outlook the attendance will be quite large and many appointments have al- ready been made by county ex- aminers, the law vesting in them this right. The school offers to students a four years course of study, under the following de- partments: English, Mathemat- lies, History, Science, Drawing, Penmanship. Reading and Ex- pression, Vocal Music, Pedagogy and Agriculture. The work be- gins with a careful review of the Grammar school studies, and is followed by the regular course as arranged by the faculty. The work will be arranged in three months terms, thus allowing students to enter at stated times in the session; yet it is advised that all who can, enter on the opening day. Students will also be admitted to the work of any year for which they may be pre- pared. credit being given for work done elsewhere. Persons who do not expect to become teachers will be admitted on pay ment of S3 per month tuition.

There are many thousands OF women
In this country who have married
men just because they have been
asked and who now live the lives of
housekeeping drudges, bound TO the
'so-called home only by the stern die
tates of duty"
The right of man alone to put the
the woman he selects has come into
fashion only with the advent Of Civ
ilzation, which is, as we know, but Il
relative term. The exclusive right
.of proposing marriage did not always
belong to the lord of creation, and
since II has become his especial priv
ilege men, says Dr. Westermarck the
eminent German ethnologist, have de-
Perforated in physical worth. Even
now among those races which dis
tinguish woman by giving her the
right to select the man who Is to
preserve the species which she IS to
mother, the finest specimens Of phySi-
cal manhood ae to he found. Among
primitive races, modern as we'll as
ancient, the right OF selecting her
mate was always given to the wOm-
an
In the present age the right is con-
ceded only to princesses of the blood
royal who are about to marry men
of status inferior to their own. The
present Queen Wilhelmina, of Hol-
land, for example, proposed to her
husband, Prince Henry, and Queen
Victoria, of England, proposed to
Prince Albert of SaXe-Coburg-Gotha

1'he present considerable inter
est in telepathy and the rapidly
increasing interest in it may make
acceptable at the present time
simple explanation of the action
of so-called telepathic force, and
one according to the most plaus-
ible theories thus far advanced.
or the force itself the eminent
French astronomer, Camille Flam-
marion. has written: EThe action
of one human being upon another
from distance, is scientific fact
Ilt is as certain as the existence of
lp9ris of Napoleon OF oxygen, or Of
Sirius. There is nothing unscientl-
fic, nothing romantic in admitting
that an idea can Influence II brain
from distance"
In an attempt to explain this ac-
| ton by analogy he says. 'There can
i be no doubt that our physical
force creates movement In the
ether, which uanmits itself afar
like all movements of ether and
becomes perceptible to brains in
harmony with our own. The trans
! formation of n psychic action into
an etheral movement, and the re-
verse, may be analogous to what
takes place on telephone, where
the receptive plate, which Is iden-
tical with the plate at the other
end. reconstructs the sororous
movement transmitted not by
means of sound but by electricity

shaped for the struggle in life. She
should consequently have priority of
claim. says Westermarck, in deciding
with whom she is best fitted to mate.
The French scientist, Dromart, ad-
vances a similar argument in favor of
proposals by women. His Is the
historical method; Women, he says,
was formerly mans equal in every
rospect-physical moral and intellect-
ual. even as the suffragettes Of this
very day claim In the days in which
both lived on fruit and vegetables,
each possessed equal rights, the prim-
tive woman in the inevitable do
,mestic set-to being as adept at solar
plexds blows as her mate, while he in
his urn, was endowed In those happy
days with a tongue equal in sonif-
erous intensity and cacophonous en-
durance to that of his mate. Each
was mortally afraid Of t'other, and
both were consequently as happy as
might be. But alas, the Beef Trust
burst into germ and man became Il
bloated carnivore
Now, in the fruit-cating days all
was we'll, because both we're able to
swarm up trees for fruit, or gather
vegetables from the groves. When
the male became Carnivnrous, how
ever It was necessary that he should
stalk his game in order to provide
for the needs of his family. Natur-
ally, the woman could not attend TO
her maternity duties and hunt wild
oxen at the same time. She conse-
mently remained at home and cooked.
In due course she grew to be weaker
in point of physique and energy, and
in the process Of long ages came TO
be as different from thc male as we
find her today.
/ Primitive societies were intelligent
enough. says NJ. Dromart, to allow
the law of compensation to work
They realized that the species could
only be preserved i'm its original eX-
cellcnce by allowing the female the
right to exercise her discretion as to
should be allowed to mate with her.
The law of all primitive societies al
. lowed her to choose, and, in the
majority of cases, severely penalized
the occasional aggrcasor who forced
/ his attentions upon an unwilling WON
an. What was the result? A race
Of perfect men grew into being. All
the males in the tribe stroye by their
accomplishments In reats OF strength
and endurance to win the attraction
of the women, whose choice was
therefore Gxed according 10 the high
est criterion of physical manliness.
Nowadays, however, It is often the
men who are least athletic, and in
most cases the least worthy physical
ly, who show The greatest pretenslons,
or who devote most time 10 attract
ing the attention Of the opposite sex
The consequence Is that we see under
sized and often almost decrepit men
mated with women OF magnificent
physical proportions, all the dispari-
ties reappearlng, particularly in re-
gard TO their detrimental aspect, in
the offspring which is more often
than not UNEQUAL and unendurng.

81 think Peruna is grand medicine,
and wish to add my testimony to the
many others you have"
The fight against consumption is be-
coming a national problem.
Everywhere we hear of sanitariums
established at the expense of the state
for the treatment of the vast army Of
consumptives.
The open air treatment, fresh air and
sunlight, are recognized by the medical
profession generally as being the great
est necessities in the treatment of con-
sumption in all its stages.
DR.. Hartman has for many years adj
vocatod the fresh air treatment for con-
sumption. At the same time he has
recognized Pcruna as useful pallia-
tive for the many distressing symptoms
which accompany the white plague.
The promptncss with which Peruna
relieves fresh cold, and even removes
chronic colds, is well-known. This
ranks Peruna as a reliable prophylactiC
against consumption.
