and when it was thirty or forty feel

Monkeys are more renowned for
mischief than for kindness, but even
monkeys can be benevolent. M. Mou.
ton records the doings of one in Guade-
loupe that surely seemed to merit that
reputation. The monkey had friend
in a goat that went daily to the pas
ture. Every night the monkey would
pick out the burs and thorns, some
times to the number of 1000 or 5000,
from that goats fleece, in order that
the animal might lie down in peace.
On coming in from the pasture the
goat regularly went in search of his
ligbthanded friend and submitted
himself to the operation. Strange to
say, the tricky instincts of the mon
key reasserted themselves after the
pricks were removed He would tease
the poor goat numerically, plucking
his beard, poking him in the eyes and
pulling out his hairs. The goat bore
it all with patience, perhaps regarding
it as only fair price to be paid for
the removal of the thorns.-London

The Egreqions Prof Reich

| Prof. Emil Reich has written before on
| the subject of American women, with the
result. as he frankly admits, that his
remarks were subjected to "wall-shaking
criticism" Instead of profting by that
criticism. he devotes the final chapter
of his new book. woman Through the
Ages" to a repetition of his Offense
An offense. and a serious one, it surely
is. 'These women-the American maid
and wife," says Prof. Reich, "are funda-
mentally different from their sisters in
Europe, whether in the past or present
Far from taking the slightest interest
in man. they look down upon him. Man
in America plays neither first nor second
fiddle. he does not even beat the drum.
He is the mere lamplighter of the orches-
ira of life in the United States" Then
the Professor goes on to declare that
American women are without talent and
without belief in its existence-that they
firmly maintain all the great artists i'm
pose upon their audiences by tricks.
Here are his conclusions upon the sub
ject, in his own words:
There are over twelve million pianos in
American houses, used mostly by women;
yet there is not single American planiste
of even. the third! order. There are thou,
sands of schools for American women; yet
note as q scholar.
l calmly state that the American woman
Is not ana can not De anything ike the type
of womanhood that, from the Hellenes
downward, all European nations have con-
sidered as the right model.
Woman, then, in America cannot develop
and has. never developed. that peculiar
charm of either beauty or grace that in
Europe has always been held to be the
greatest power of women.
The last word, then, in American woman
hood is this, that they represent actually
what the ancient Greek myths Of myths
they be) represented symbolicaliy-a realm
OF AmaZons grated upon realm of man.
The old Greek Amazon is indeed the evil
dent archetype of the women of the United
States.
That there are in the United States
such women as Prof. Reich describes
no well informed person will dispute.
They are not peculiar to this country.
1t may be that they are more conspic-
uous here than elsewhere. But that
they are the predominant type or the
representative type all American men
who are not misogynists will emphatical-
~ deny-and few American men are mis-
ogynists. There are indeed American
men who devote themselves to the max
ing of money which they are content to
let their wives and daughters spend, but
in characterizing the American man, as
in characterizing the American woman,
Prof. Reich falls into the error of hasty
generalization upon insufficient data.
He has not seen even all of one side
of the shield which he undertakes to de-
scribe.

The Marine Controversy Up Again.

The fight regarding the legal status
OF the marine, and his duties aboard shin
and ashore, has been renewed as the re-
suit of an order issued by Rear-Admiral
Seaton Schroeder, in command of the
Atlantic battleship fleet. 1t will no re-
called that President Roosevelt removed
the marines from the ships and reIegat-
ed them to shore duty in connection with
naval operations. This order was resent
ed by the marines, and appeal to Con
gress resulted in the adoption of reso-
luton restoring them to duty on ship
board. 1t was said at the time that this
restoration had a reservation, in the fact
that the commanders of the ships could
control the marine and fix their duties
to suit the view of the naval contingent.
This is apparently demonstrated by
Rear-Admiral Schroeder's order.
There are two sides to this question.
but the naval side has the weight of
judgment as to it's right to attend to all
ship duties. The man-of- warsman is no
longer a sailor. He is an enlisted man
in floating fort whose machinery and
guns he must serve when the ship is
in action, and whose engines, arms and
other munitions he must protect against
all enemies. Formerly the marines did
guard duty while the sailors handled the
sails and took their tricks at the
wheel; but this is changed by the intro
duction Of steam and the total abolition
of sails, and the marines have thus be-
come obsolete SO far as necessity for their
presence on board the ships is concerned
Rear-Admiral Schroeder's order reveals
the object of the reservation of ship du-
ties for the so-called seamen. 1t opens
as follows:
In order that the seaman branch in the
navy may not be deprived of proper Op-
portunity to become proficient in the i'm,
portant duties and responsibilities of the
procession, guard duty on board battleships
and armored cruisers will be performed al.
ternately by them and by the marines in
regular recurring periods.
1t will be seen that the Rear-Admiral
regards the participancy of the seamen
In guard service important for their
proper development, and that he consid-
erately ''splits the difference with the
marines. This plan may convince those
who have heretofore been attacking the
naval contingent that the latter is mere
~ trying to do something for the good of
the service, and not aiming to remove
the marine, who has practically been
displaced by force of circumstances. The
matter may possibly come up again in
Congress, but there is less likelihood of
interference now than there was when
Congress was taking pleasure in over
turning things Rooseveltian for redress.

Money in Junk.

R-e-c-k-S unit olt i-i-run!

Up and down the dirty back alleys
drives the junk man, singing his mourn
full. nasal cry, loading his rickety wagon
with broken scraps and pieces OF old
iron-an object of pity or OF ridicule to
most of the uniformed public.
Let him be admired or envied rather,
for, if not he, himself, at least his en-
ployer is probably making more money
than nine out of ten professional men.
Better than that. his work is of the ut
most importance in the world and, in
the aggregate, reaches proportions al
most beyond the belief of the casual
man in the street.
Few things are more depressing and
unsightly than pile of junk as high as
in every city and, so far as the casual
observer can determine, none of the
stuff is ever moved. The piles increase
apparently, from month to month and
grow rustier and rustier, but the men ia
the business keep on buying.
How are they able to keep so much
money tied up? Where do they get the
large amount of capital which seems to
be necessary?
They borrow from the banks, like any
other business man, on the security of
their stock in trade.

Fever.

Fever.
A clinical thermometer Is probably
as matter-of-course a household con-
venience in most families as is step
ladder or a broom; and 1t Is we'll that
Its use and the general significance
Of Its disclosures should be under
stood by those in authority; but fussi-
ness and constant resort to 1t and con-
tinual discussion of temperatures are
to be deplored.
The old-fashioned way of placing the
hand upon the child's body and an
nouncing that 1t felt feverish" or
had fever" without any regard to
mathematical accuracy as to degrees
and fractions, worked just as well and
perhaps better than the new-fashioned
way, carried to a nervous extreme.
At the same time a rise of tempera-
ture always means something, and it
most decidedly means the calling In of
a physician If it does not go down of
itself or yield to simple remedies.
When the temperature is taken by
the mouth the thermometer should
register about ninety-eight and seven
tenths degrees, although this may vary
at different times during the day in
perfectly well people. When it reg
listers ninety-nine degrees, or ninety
nine and five-tenths degrees, the per-
son is said to be feverish. Anything
below ninety-eight degrees Is subnor-
NAL. and anything over one hundred
and five degrees is called hyperpy-
rexia, or high fever.
In many cases a fever is a sort
of blessing in disguise. These are the
fevers caused by the toxins of bac-
terra, Of which typhoid is a type. The
whole system Is then engaged in a
fight agains. the germs, and the battle
Is waged to more advantage, apparent
ly, when ''the blood is fighting hot"
This is why, although the fever can
be beaten down by the application of
colo and the administration of drugs,
1t is often poor practice to suppress it
in this way. Getting the fever down
may be momentary satisfaction, but
1t does nothing to help cure the un-
DERIVING cause. 1t Is as If general
should insist upon silencing his own
guns.
At the same time the fever must be
watched and kept In check, because
this sort of fight is calling for an i'm
mense outlay from the system, and
a raging fever not only burns up bac-
terra, but it feeds upon tissue and
blood and all it can find, as any one
con testify who has watched or lived
through a convalescence from one.

Desiccated Water.

Some years ago the water in Phila-
delphia used to become unfit to battle
In, let alone to drink, after even the
mildest kind of storm. Everybody com
planned, says writer In the Washing
ton Star. One gentleman complained
to Peter Burness, an incorrigible op.
timist. But he received little encour'
agement.
Actually" I said to Peter one
morning after storm. II couldn't
take a bath to-day on account Of the
muddy water. It was like brown
paste"
"Oh, I took a good long BATH" said
Peter. when the Schuylkill water is
like that it Is the best thing in the
world to battle in. So medicinal, you
know. Better than Homburg or Ma
rienbad or any of those places"
But it's so muddy" says I.
That's just the point" said Peter.
ITS medicinal mud, full of all sorts of
phosphates and things. Tonight when
you get home fill your bath, Jump in
and splash about; but afterward don't
use any towels"
mo towels?" / objected.
There's much better way than
towels" said Peter. Stand before the
radiator and let the water dry on your
body. Then brush it off with whisk-
broom
