MEN MAKE BETTER TEACHERS
President Charles w. Eliot Of Harvard
Says Plan to EquaIixs Salaries
10 Most Destructive.

New York.-In regretting his inabil-
ity to lecture in New York on the ques-
ton of equal pay for men and women
teachers. which the board Of educa.
ton proposea to adjust by reducing
the salaries OF men. former President
Charles w. Eliot OF Harvard writes to
Joseph Van Denburg:
Tho sex of the teacher is of abso-
Iutely no importance in education. II
10 a perfectly clear result Of much
experience that men make better
teachers for boys over twelve than
women do. You tell me the board Of
education is planning to reduce the
salaries OF men teachers. A more de-
structive policy could hardly be i'm
agined. There are two reasons for
paying women teachers less than men.
First. with rare exceptions. they do
not and cannot do the same work
Secondly. teaching as a temporary oc-
cupation for young women is more de-
sirable among the occupations open
to women than It Is for young men

Wilkesbarre. PA practical Joker
recently has had half the residents Of
Conyngham, country town near here,
scratching continuously at the great
ly irritated surface of their skins. A
special committee of the school board
is endeavoring to find and punish
him.
The AFFLICTED ones did not know what
was wrong at first Some thought It
was an epidemic Of hives: but 1t did
not develop like hives: the skin mere
ly grew red, there was a slight swell
ing and the irritation was continuous,
while the number OF those affected
grew until half the residents were
scratching.
Finally 1t was learned that 1t was
all due to cow itch," which had been
distributed in the school. in two lodge
rooms. the postonice, and at horse
sale during the week. evidently by
some practical joker, probably q pupil.

PINEAPPLE VESTS WEAR LONG

wife bought a quantity OF 1t. but when
on our return she tried to purchase
some OF 1t in London she failed to find
any shop that kept 1t.
For trimmings l think It is excel.

state OF development, 1t would be
equal to very hard wear. But the
great trouble with these fabric tex,

The Worth Of the Voice.

How wonderful is the human voice!
II is indeed tho organ OF the soul
The intellect of man sits enthroned
visibly upon his forehead and in his
eye. and the heart of man is written
upon his countenance. But the soul
reveals itself In the voice only, as
God revealed himself to the prophet of
old in the still. small voice. and in
the voice from the burning bush. The
soul OF man is audible. not visible. A
sound alone betrays the flowing OF the
eternal fountain. invisible TO man.

London.-Pineapple underwear is
one Of the latest wonders threatened
by mechanical science.
1t has long been known that the
fiber Of the pineapple leaf can be man
ufactured into the most dainty. muslin
like material. but the cost OF extract
ing the fiber has made the price Of the
fabric almost prohibitive.
A retired Indian colonel. who Is the
proud possessor of three undervests
made from pineapple leaves. said they
| were more luxurious and comfortable
than the very finest silk.
They cost me something like $40
apiece" he said. .'and though | have
worn them for over thirty years. they
show no signs Of wear even yet.
Il doubt II they are procurable any
where In London. In India the natives
extract the fiber from the pineapple
leaves by hand, and the process Is
long and laborious. The products Of
ramie. or China grass. are fairly well
known, but only few know OF the
luxury of the pineapple"
While pursuing inquiries on this In

Chicaso.-Dandelion are getting .

While other cities are estimating in

deners are looking with disgust upon
one OF the most luxuriant crops OF
the big-leaved weeds that the lawns
upon which they sowcd grass ever
bore. The late spring. followed by
the unusual hot weather. seem to
have been Just what the dandeiions
have been waiting for to show what
they can do In the way of rapid
growth. and some Of them have al
most leaped out Of the ground in their
eagerness to mount skyward.
In some Of the parks. in places
where much tramping has weakened

Of dandelions is blooming in the
spaces left by the first. The earlier
crop is now going to seed. and for
large areas the grass Is almost invis-
ible. The leaves OF many of the
plants have been lifted clear of the
ground by the rapidity of growth.
Other cities are watching the dande-
lion crop with even more concern
than In Chicago. Gardeners in East
Orange, N. j., estimate that a damage
approximating 500 900 has been done

last fortnight.
In other OF the eastern states where
much pride is taken in the appearance
Of the lawns the dandelions have Sc
cured an equally strong start The
belief is stated by some of the natur-
alists that some natural enemy OF the
dandelion which has kept 1t more
within bounds in former years has
been absent this season.
That continued activity with the
lawn mower and careful fertilization
Of lawns are safer preventives of the
preparations was the advice given by
several Chicago gardening experts In
speaking of means of dealing with
them.
Like many antidotes for poison.
their main objection is that they kill
the patient as well as Kidding him Of
the trouble, they declare. Sulphate Of
iron. which is recommended as sure
death to dandelions. is almost. II not
quite. as hard on the grass.
'Dandelions are beautiful early in
May, but for the rest of the year they
are ugly, and therefore we have to
keep them out" said Jens Jensen. in
speaking of this years crop.
'The only way to deal with them in
large areas is to keep the grass close
cut and in healthy condition. SO that
there won't be any bare spots for the
seed to get through to the ground and
sprout.
''If you keep their heads cut OF be-
fore they have a chance to go to seed
you prevent them from spreading. l

doesn't do too much harm to the vege-
tation you want to save to be safely
