This is the record which reveals nothing of
the service rendered to the country by Sena-
tor Platt, nothing of the causes for which he
did battle nothing of the questions which he
helped to settle, nothing of the achievement
of twenty-six years which established his claim
to our gratitude The Indians knew him for
their friend, and gave him their trust: but how
many of our inventors are aware of the debt
they owe to Platt for his labors in their be-
half as the preserver of the patent system :?
The younger generation of American authors is
hardly aware of his untiring efforts in behalf of
international copyright. however heartily these
were acknowledged at the time and remern
bered at his death. He took a prominent and
often deciding part in the shaping of our
policy on all the important issues that presented
themselves during his long term of continuous
service in Washington, covering the adminstra-

question-both before and after the Spanish
war-labor and capital, the regulation of cor

Canal, reciprocity. tariff revisions-the record
of his services is in a measure that of the
country's history during the Ieriod of his Sena-
torship- His was above all else, one of the
most potent of the influences that led to our
retention of the Philippines as a matter of
national duty
1t was in the course of his great sneech

Platt came into direct conflict with Senator

PUT YOUR GIRL TO WORK EARLY.
Systematic Training Should Begin When She Is About 3 Years Old.

It is not large amount of work. but definite and systematic work. that is called for in properly training the growing girl says Professor William A. McKeever in the Delineator for Janu- ary. The most thoughtful of those in- terrogated have urged that the best home course in domestic science for the growing girl consists in a wide va riety Of things to be done, something representing every department of housekeeping from basement to garret
 It is advisable to vary the tasks with the age and strength. According to the measurements of Boditch GU. S.1 and Key (Sweden). two eminent au- thorities, the physical growth of girls is first retarded at 9. then more so at II, while it is rapid from F to IA, reaching its maximum at the last named age. Key also reports that girls are weakest in resistance of fatigue at s. after which there is gradual in crease to F. then a years decrease. then a gradual increase to the time of full maturity.
 T would rather do the work my self than be bothered with the trouble Of making the girls do it. is the testi- mony of one mother. But all such mothers apparently lost sight of the fact that this instruction must be giv- en for the sake of the girls character development.
 Nearly all the mothers agree that this home training should be begun early. the ages given ranging from 3 to 7I years.

The first of the Century's series of unique travel papers appears in the January issue telling of young Amer ican school teachers out-of-t the ordin- ary experiences and adventures "On a Tramp Through Palestine" How these papers came to be written. MT. Franck told recently in a personal letter.
 Let me begin at the logical begin ming and say that I was born in 1881, in a village of Michigan. the son of the then village smithy. though that has nothing to do with the case except that it gave me the beginning of those sev- eral manual trades by means of which I paid my way through high school and the university of Michigan. During those days l earned money in all the orthodox fashions from selling papers to waiting table during the school days. During the summer terms I made it q practice to ship west as railway laborer. spend the summer with the pick and shovel or in the harvest fields of the Northwest. and having sent back the tuition had thus earned 'hoboed' back to the college town This plan I followed every summer from 1898 to 1902, the year of my graduation. except in 1900, when l took cattle boat to England by the same route as the beginning of my long trip. worked as a stevedore in Newhaven, visited the Paris exposition. arrived in London broke walked to Liverpool and shipped as an A. E. in time to reach the college town before work was far advanced
 Tt was these trips, together with some courses in sociology. which in cluded the reading of such works as Josiah Flynt and Wyckoff. that first gave me the idea of the trip around the world. At the end of my college year became teacher of French in the Central high school of Detroit. Mich,

THE SUPERNATURAL IN MODERN
 FICTION.

IT one rare swimmer and sWallower in the current stream of fiction may trust his own observation. it is symp- tomatic that the supernatural, barred from fiction for several generations. is re-enterinE. with power" Two of the recent novelists whom reader with something else to do has found himself forced to read are Du Mau- rier and De Morgan ModerniZing Thackery as they both do though you might maintain that the newer also addicts himself to modernizing Dick eHs they both rush in where their masters would have feared to tread. Dickens. indeed. was by no means above telling ghost stories. But. like MT Kipling in "A Matter of Fact" he told it as d lie when he did not present it as an equally obvious al- legory, and never for a moment en- deavored to impose upon the credulity of his readers. Thackery. on the other hand, strictly abstained from relating any adventure which might not plaus- ibly have happened to anybody. As for Anthony Trollope, he would have died first. As for that matter. differ ent as were his subjects and his treat ment. would Charles Reade. The dou- 5le consciousness in Hard Cash" and again in "A Simpleton.' is not super natural. but pseudo scientific The mid-Victorians. in fact, disdained or ignored as subject matter any material which was not documented. But the late Victorians and early Edwardians have reverted to the prime matter of romance
 The two recent novelists we have named might be dismissed as anna -teurs who have felt bound to impart an adventitiOus interest to their pie lures of life and manners. There is nothing of the supernatural in Joseph Vance" But the ghost in Alice for Short is. so to say. of the essence. and it is pretty nearly as documented as the double consciousness in Some how Good" But Du Maurier sought and found properly supernatural mo- tive for each of his stories. The dreaming true" in Peter Ibbetson." the hypnotism in "Trilby." are dis tinctly of the essence. And so was the Martian motive in The Martian." in the authors mind, inappreciable as that motive may be to the readers who have yet found delight in the picture of the French school life of British or ''bilinguaI' boy.-From "The Point of View in the January Scrib- ner

NEW PETTIcoATs FIT sNUeLY.
All Fitness and Lines Are Now Being
 Done Away With.

The new pettieoats that are to be seen in most of the smart shops show the constant effort of the dressmaker to get rid O fall fullness that might possibly break line or displace a curve of the hourglass siihoutte. says Thsf Delineator for January. Under suits and separate skirts the petticoat is fitted very closely to the figure with neither pleats nor gathers at the back IL fastens at the left side of the front
 The French dressmaSer deplores the fact that some unenlightened women still insist on wearing petticoats. or rather a petticOat. under their prin- cess dresses. For them they have in- vented a slip that takes the place really of the petticoat and chemise- it is. indeed. a combination of them both. It fits the figure very closely and is buttoned or hooked down the center of the back. Like the separate petticoat. it is finished at the bottom with plaited flounce that is extreme ly soft and unassertive.

A RAILROAD THROUGH THE
 ANDES.

News comes that the hitherto almost insurmountable barrier between the eastern. and western slopes of South America formed by the Andes has been pierced bv the construction of a tunnel through which a railroad connecting Buenos Ayres with Valparaiso will presently be carried. The expectation is that the road will be running in the spring, and it can easily be seen that it will exert a powerful influence on the countries which it immediately affects It will certainly promote more intimate trade and political relations between Chile and Argentina. the two most prosperous. most progressive and most resourceful of South American commonwealths, and inure to their mu- tual advantage.
 IL would be pleasant to recognize the changes of which r will be the occasion. the promise of some benefit to the United States. but nothing of the kind is in sight. 4 railroad run ming east and west across the continent will facilitate the delivery of merchant disc in Chile. but. unfortunately, that is the country with which the com mercial relations of the United States are least satisfactory. The Chileans get what they want from Europe. es- pcciaily from Germany, whose exports there in 1908 were more than s7, ,OOO. 900 in excess of our own, and this new route will only make it easier for the Germs to do business in the Chilean market It would help us. too. if we were prepared to utilize the opportuni- ty. but this, unfortunately. Is not the fact.
 Yet. some encouragement may be derived from the circumstance that the outlook for such enlightened legisla- ton by congress as the situation de- mands is better now than ever before. President Tafts urgent recommenda- ton that appropriate action be taken for the rehabilitation of the merchant marine is reported to have made a great impression in the desired direc- tion. and there is room for rather a sanguine hope that some measure mak- ing 1t possible to furnish adequate fa- cilities of transportation between this country and the great hemisphere tot the south of us will be enacted before the close of the present session., Philadelphia Inquirer

The Presidents Message Therefore
 Created No Flurry.

New York. Jan. 7.-Whatever may be thought of the influence of the presidents message on the stock mar ket. it cannot be supposed that there was anything in it that was news in that region. The preparation of the document had. moreover. invited such widespread consultation and such free preliminary discussion by the author in public addresses that scarce iy any passage could be regarded as a novelty. Ever since the conference of the railroad presidents at the White House last Monday the stock market had devoted most of its att tention to taking measures prompted by the views of the president. The result was seen in the state approach ing idleness into which the market fell after the message was published.
