"WANTED: AN ARCHITECT"

Last year there appeared in the At
lantic Monthly a very Interesting and
able article upon the education Of
ONE a subject about which most
every one thinks he or she can give
the best advice. There ran through
hat article a caustic vein Of cr1ti-
cism Of the finishing schools which
bleed parents who have the money TO
afford such %luxuries and usually dc
the girls who attend them mucn
harm, giving them false ideas OF life
and educating them more for t1ippant
society than for the highest happi-
hess and usefulness in life.
Miss Mary Johnston, Of Richmond,
who spoke a few days g at the Wo-
mans Suffrage Convention in Louis
Vile, took as her subject: Wanted:
An Architect" She was not looking
for a builder or a mar to draw plans
for q building but for an architect
to fashion as Miss
would have her. Upon the education
of woman she spoke with great wis
DOM, the substance Of her argument
being as follows:
Il would educate her highly, edu-
cate her deeply, ducate her broadly.
1 would let UP on accomplishments.
Less embroidery, more physics. chem
istry and biology; less bridge, more
biography and history and psychology;
less sordello, more economics and So
GEOLOGY; fewer chatting dish recipes
and more domestic science: fewer
pseudo graces and more knowledge
and love OF humanity: less talk about
great names and more familiarity
with what made them great; less OF

ihefe are TWO extremes about the

waste OF money and time in most Of
the so-called finishing schools, and the

hnlshIng schools the health OF wo-
men, as a rule, is sacrificed to the
fashionable %follies, and in some Of
the colleges it is sacrificed to too
much mathematics and science. The
middle ground in this. as in most
other things, is the wise ground.

EPOCH-MAkING EVENTS IN
MEDICINE.

MILDlClN r..
The awakened interest felt by the
people in sanitation and health has
resulted in lengthening the term OF
human life and causing the average
man and woman to wish to know
more about medicine and the history
OF medicine. One of the worst things
in the world is the quack doctor. and
next to the quack doctor is the MAJ
or woman who, because they have q
smattering of medicine, assume to
know enough to discard the advice OF
trained physicians and rgeon It
is only those who have a superficial
knowledge who are in danger Of MAX
ing themselves a nuisance in their eff
forts and exposing the blunders that
ignorance can commit in the supreme
matter Of health. Wise men do not
pretend to understand the body and
prescribe for it's treatment.
The world has never given the
place to the doctor that belongs to
him. It is the greatest profession
known among men.-the noblest and
the most useful. and the major por-
ton Of men who follow this profess
sion have a true appreciation OF its
exalted honor and Of it's great posi-
bilities. Into this mob profession. as
in all others. there enter men who
Took upon disease thai affiicts their
patients as an easy way Of making
money. and degrade it into CONNER
| cialisn. However, in comparison TO
the large number who spend them
| selves and wear out their lives IN the
| treatment Of the sick, they are few IN
| number. The trend Of opinion OF the
| profession and the public is to put a
/ ban upon the doctors who consider
| human ails in the mere nature
| OF merchandise. OF course. 1t Is not
| comnercialis1n for doctors to be paid
we'll for their services, but 1t IS a
proclamation Of the profession and a
disgrace to it for a physician TO per-
init commercial ideas to have a place
in the same apartment OF ms NINA
with his zeal in curing the SICK ana
in finding out better ways TO reduce
human suffering and lengthen human
life.
Every State in the union is invited
to place the statutes OF two of its most
DISTINGUISHED men III n national cap
itol. 1t has been suggested by feaolns
mon in Georgia that in the niche as
signed to that State ii should place
as one of its distinguished men Dr.
Crawford Williamson Long OF that
State. Until his day, surgery in a
modern sense was impossible. He dis
covered that by the use Of an9sthctcs
the most difficult surgical operation
could be performed without pain to
the natient. and out Of this discovery
thousands Of lives have been saved
and tens of thousands Of men and
women have been restored from what
seemed to be lifelong misery to health
and happiness.

JIG TUNES OUT OF PLACE.

Ihe CndTlOtL6 News Is OF the
opinion that the beautiful Isle Of
Somewhere" promises to be one Of
the vital issues Of the coming cam
paign. At a big Sunday school mass
meeting III New Jersey some weeks
ago Governor Wilson was called upon
TO speak and he discussed as a very
timely topic the sort of music that
should be sung in g Sunday school.
1t SO happened that at this meeting
the music committee put on the pro-
gram the Beautiful Isle Of Some
where" and Governor Wilson, in the
course Of his address, declared tina
such music had neither poetry nor
religion and ought to be discarded
in the Sunday schools. He said those
who select the music for the chill
dren ought not to permit such ditties
and jigS and nothings to take the
place Of the old-time hymns and
songs that stirred the hearts and
strengthened the faith Of those who
attended the Sunday schools.
The remarks of Governor Wilson
have been widely applauded by those
who have seen the d~ecadence of the
Sunday school airs in most of the
churches. Mr.. Archibald Johnson,
in Charity and Children, makes this
wise comment:
We are in hearty sympathy with
Governor Wilson in his opposition to
the Beautiful Isle Of Somewhere
We hope, whether he is nominated
for President or not. he will con
tinue to wage warfare upon the silly
A1~ rvN CSnr IN Nr,p 1n1 viz &c cnry-
ices. Instead Of the glorious old
hymns like Rock of Ages Lead
Kindly Light Sun of My SOUL and
the like, too many churches use such
pious jigs as Hold the Fort oh to
Be Nothing, Nothing and SO on.
While the Governor IS at it we wish
he would take a whack at old Time
Religion one of the s~illiest, softest
and most utterly bsurd compost
tons that ever engaged the attention
of a rational human being
The song objected to by Governor
Wilson has not gained much popular
ity in North Carolina, and. although
the Charlotte News fails to see any
thing but beauty in it, most readers
will see that it lacks the dignity and
religious tone that makes it suitable
to use in the Sunday schools:
Somewhere the sun is shining,
Somewhere the song-bird dwell:
lush then thy sad repining,
God lives and all is we'll.
Chorus: D.
Somewhere, somewhere,
eautif isle of somewhere; -
Ian of the true, 4
Where we live anew,
Beautiful isle Of somewhere;
Somewhere the day is longer.
Somewhere the task is done,
Somewhere the heart is stronger.
Somewhere the guerdon won.

mew the clouds are lifted,
Somewhere the angels wait.

HER LOVE OF THE BEAUTIFUL
Woman Wanted Handsome Cats Fur
for Muff, and Man Fled to ~
Save His Soul.

A man and a woman once went
into a room where a handsome black
cat lay sleeping before the fire.
The woman was fair Of face and
richly dressed, and her large hat,
which was in the height of the fash
ion. was covered with the distorted
bodies and tail feathers of birds
which had once been beautiful.
The man admired the woman and
thought she was the gentlest and
fairest thing he had ever met.
AS soon as the woman saw the
handsome cat she went up TO it, call
ing it "Poor pussyw and fondlcd it.
GLOW kind she is to everything"
the man thought, "and how fond Of
animals 4"
Dear pussy" said the woman,
stroking the cat not ovcrgently, 81
would like your skin for muif."
The cat sworc at her after its kind,
for she had rubbed it up the wrong
way and disturbed its sleep. And
after struggle it ran away.
"What more does she want?' the
man said to himself. "She has her
hat full Of birds, and the skins Of
beasts round her shoulders, now she
wants the cats skin to cover her
hands; next she will want my soul"
And he, too, fled before it was too
late.-F, G. Brunton, in the World.
