THE POLE.

The American people are generally
well informed as to the nature of the
geographical poles, and the newspaper
readers are not little amused to read
from Peary descriptions of the North
pole as If 1T were like the mast of a
ship to have flag nailed to it. and
to be brought home and placed in a
museum as an object for the curious to
look upon and admire. In his dispatches
Peary has treated the subject in a
way which has simply surprised the
people. In mis- latest averment that
he is the only white man who ever
saw the Pole, he is mindful Of the
fact that DR.. Cook and his Eskimos
only saw the Great Nail" which
we are told in Eskimo is its equiva-
lent. 1t is not probable that either
one of these men stood exactly upon
the spot which marked the earth's
axial center. The geographical pole
is of itself a great expansee of ice
and it is probable that a half hundred
explorers might figure themselves as
being at the North pole without be-
ing in sight of one another. Com
mander Peary's figures Of speech, like
his careless assertions, need revision.

YOUNG AMERICA AT SCHOOL

There are more young Americans
seeking education than there is room
for, and from al the large cities
we learn that the school accommoda-
tons are not adequate and that large
numbers of children are debarred from
attending public schools because nc
provisions have been made for. them
The building of school houses is as
constant as the building of churches
to meet the requirements OF the peo-
pie. 1t is not strange that in a coun-
try with 50.000,000 school children-a
country that is growing in population
faster than any other nation upon
earth-should find it difficult to keep
pace with the demand for educational
privileges.
The American public expects too
much Of the teacher and do too little
themselves for the advancement of the
children. John Locke defined the pur-
pose of education as the development
Of sound minds in sound bodies. The
sound body end of the problem de-
ponds more upon the parents than
they seem to realize, and If the chill
dren were better cared for and fed
there is no doubt the teacher could
attain better results.
As the school year opens parents
would do well to aid in the work of
schooling the children by seeing that
they are courteous and obedient and
informed as thoroughly as possible
what good work in school means to
them.

TWENTIETH CENTURY REVEAL,
TIONS.

1t appears that the cement age up
on which we are entering is not the
first cement age of man. The expert
ence of late years with cement has
opened the eyes, of explorers to. the
Possibility that the Mexicans and the
old cliff jewellers understood the art
OF making stone objects, even to
dwelling places. 1t is believed now
that the gigantic ruins in Mexico
which represent the design and labor
Of a vanished civilization, were con-
structed of concrete, cast in gigantic
size. The explanation is plausible.
The difficulty that must have attend
ed the transformation of what have
been believed to be colossal stone
blocks vanishes If they were really
made of concrete, for which abundant
material was easily obtainable. 1t is
also possible that the remote race con-
cerned achieved better concrete con-
struction than we have yet obtained.
The abundant carving Of a compare
lively crude sort that appears in the
remains Of these ruined cities could
have been done in concrete.

HANGING woRKsAskET

A fve-scalloped table mat is the
background of q fat workbasket which
requires no other materials than two
widths of satin ribbon and little wool
or hair for the stuffing of the pincush-
ion.
The table mat is one of those sold
in sets, and at % cents the set, made
of long strands of raffia wrapped
evenly over pasteboard and bordered
with a twist of the raff1a. The mat in
question is a scalloped one, and on
each side of the five shallow scallops
there is fastened a spool of thread by
means of a one-inch satin ribbon
slipped through the spool and tied in
bow, which Is sewn to the mat. This
leaves the center of the mat empty.
Now, there is made, as a pincushion
a five-petaled flower of satin ribbon
The center is a round piece of the
ribbon stuffed with wool or hair to
form a ball for pins and needles. The
petals are five leaves made on four
inch satin ribbon, each cut four inches
long and turned into a point at the
ball or center OF the flower in petal
shape. If you will keep the briar rose
in mind you can make this flower.
1t is sewn to the middle of the mat,
and a small scissor is slipped on to
a narrow ribbon, both ends of which
are fastened under the briar rose.
This fiat basket is to be hung on the
wall by loop of ribbon. Either pink,
scarlet or yellow will work up best
into this dainty yet useful bit of fancy
work, because in these colors the flow
err will suggest a rose, a POPPY or
daisy.

NEW BIRTH CARDS.

Instead OF the conventional en-

1t is the hand-pained profile of a

frill of lace around the neck are sug-

On the white paper are written the
name of the newly born and the date
of it's birth.
The long, narrow envelope is also
handmade and sealed with the family
crest in wax, or tiny silver seal with
the family initial in the center.
The day after the great event these
cards are mailed to all friends of the

FOR FALL BLOUSE.

win spring forth with some fresh
touch. There is, however no maker
so hopeful as to proclaim any great
innovation i'll this tried, true and eyer
acceptable garment that has had such
a successful career. Some points of
interest are common to the whole line
of autumn models.
A tendency exists in favor of long
shoulder line, whether 10 be got by the
actual cut or the trimming.
The banded bishop sleeve will prob
ably be favorite in the lingerie
blouse.
The sheer frill in front of the feav-
Ter blouse will most frequently be used
down the left side, or crossing from
the left shoulder to the waist line:
Yoks % of light weight linen are to be
introduced in some of the heavier linen
blouses. ard the collar in all garments
of the better quality is to be made to
match it. This last is no doubt. a
natural turning away from the low
priced separate collar.
