THE HAUsFRAU THREATENED.

In Germany a decree has recently
gone forth allowing women the same
educational opportunities as men and
the Fatherland has been somewhat
shaken thereby. In commenting up
on the proposition the st. Louis Post
Dispatch says:
"Hausfrau" as a term means more
in German than is implied in a liter
al translation to the English "house-
wife" 1t stands for an institution of
ages, a glory of the empire. 1t ex-
presses the old German idea Of wo-
mans place in the economy Of affairs.
It explains the elation of the land in
the possession of an empress who has
declared her devotion to 'Kinder,
Kirche and Kuche."
No ordinary national thrill is that
accompanying the fear that the haus-
frau ideal is threatened by the new
German decree granting to women
equal opportunities with men for the
higher scholastic education.
A little knowledge may be anywhere
dangerous thing. A liberal educa-
ton anywhere should be prepara-
ton, an equipment, the means to a
desirable end, and the pursuit Of such
a training should imply a purpose of
usefulness. Granting such purpose,
one really comedies the whole case
against which apprehensive Germany
protests. 1t is ridiculous to maintain
that a woman with the new ambitions
of the age should school herself in
flexibly to the role of a tame cat by
the sitting room fire. But it is mis-
chievous when a girl comes out Of
her college career, aimless idle-hand-
ed, convinced chiefly that by culture
and association she has acquired the
superiority of a class.
america, with its multiplying collie
ses for women, does not find that 1t
has sacrificed the home-maker to the
diploma. Germany is not likely to
love less the hausfrau of the future
if she is able to bear her part in the
talk of philosophy, literature and the
exact sciences.

UNCONSCIOUS HUMOR.

English humor Is often painful.
and the most delirious bits of Eng
lish humor that find their way to
this country are often accompanied
by evidences that proves 1t to be un-
conscious humor. Hefferon was the
Englishman who entered for the
Marathon race in the recent Olympic
games in England. Speaking of him
and his sprintlng the London Chron-
icle said:
"Hefferon went to South Africa
during the Boer war and there learnt
to run"
That is really funny.

THE LAW IS BETTER.

There may have been times in the
history ofthe United states when mob
law was justifiable In the dark days
% the reconstruction era the south
erners found in the unwritten code
their only protection from negro afro
cities and in the early days Of the
west horsethieves had more respect
for vigllantes than they did for the
written law OF the land.
But even in those days lynch law
was deplored and It should now be
intolerable. As rule mobs are blind
cruel and cowardly. The law may
sometimes be slow and Ineffective,

GOLDENROD.

When the wayside tangles blaze
In the low September sun,
When the flowers of summer days
Droop and wither one by one,
Reaching brow and heart and fire,
Flaunting high its wind-rocked
plume,
Brave with wealth of native bloom
Goldenrodl
When the meadows, lately shorn,
Parched and languid, swoons with
pain,
When her life-blood, night and morn
Shrlnks in every throbblng vein.
Round her fallen, tarnished urn
Leaping watch fires brighter burn:
Royal arch DER autumn's gate.
Bending low with lustrous weight
Goldenrod.
