MORE TEACHERS NEEDED.

The national welfare depends on
Agricultural prosperity; agriculture it.
self is daily becoming more and more
Of science; and these two factors
reinforce the pressing demand for
more and better agricultural educa.
ton among the rural population. But
where are the teachers of agriculture
coming from? This question is raised
by A. C. Monahan, specialist in rural
education Of the United States bureau
Of education.
AT present nearly two thousand
high schools are teaching agriculture,
the course being taken by an aggre-
gate of some $4,000 pupils" says Mr.,
Monahan. But in all these schools,
only very few besides those giving
four-year courses in this subject have
instructors with a college or normal
school training in scientific agricul,
ture, while large percentage OF the
active teachers with this training
have had no training in psychology OF
pedagogy.
Probably no one factor has had
greater influence in retarding the
introduction Of substantial courses In
agriculture in all those higher schools
whose pupils are drawn in large mum
bers from farming districts than the
shortage Of properly qualified teach
ers."

CAGE MAsTs' VALUE PROVED.

Far from pronouncing the doom of
the cage mast Of the American battle
ships, the recent firing tests in Ches.
apeake Bay are regarded by naval Of
f1cers as demonstrating most concino-
ingly the efficiency of the cage mast.
Sixteen 12-inch explosive shells
were fired at the experimental cage
mast erected on the hulk Of the San
Marcos, formerly the battleship Tex
~, which lies on the shoals of Tangier
Sound, Chesapeake Bay. OF these
thirteen were fair and square hits,
and the last hit toppled the mast into
the water. while this heavy fire, con-
centrated upon tho mast at close
range, resulted after thirteen hits in
the destruction of the mast. Naval
officers assert that In the first place
the masts Of 4 ship in action would
never under any imaginable circum-
stances, be subjected to such fire.
In the second place, it is declared, two
or three well-directed shots at one of
the old.time cylindrical masts would
be sufficient to bring it down. There
fore the recent tests prove conclusive
ly that the cage mast can Withstand
1T least six or seven times the firing
that the old mast can endure.
The cage mast originated with the
American navy, though other navies
are beginning to adopt it.

The Armada,

The armada-better known as the
Spanish armada"-consisted of $50
ships, besides a great number of cara
wells, 3,166 cannon. $3.50 sailors, 2,0S8
galley slaves, 10000 soldiers, $50
monks, under the head of the vicar of
the inquisition, and considerable
number Of grandees, who went along
to see the English killed and burnt.
The destruction Of this mighty arma-
ment by the English admirals and the
winds OF heaven was well-nigh COM
plete. Very little Of it ever got back
to Spain. A bronze statue Of Britain
nia," as a national memorial of the
defeat of the armada, was unveiled at
Plymouth In the year 1890.

Nicaraauan History.

who were compulsorily celibate, and

PROVED TO BE 7RUE7

The story that comes from tho
south that there are people there
that do not know the war is over has
been proved to be true-proved by
the treasury department. A Louisville,
KY, woman sent in a dollar bill the
other day with the following letter:
Il have had this bill for some time.
but l have neglected to have it re-
deemed. In the meantime, however,
I have acquired two little girls, and
a dollar looks much bigger than it
used to look An its buying power
seems to be steadily decreasing, I
send 1t in while It Is still worth 80
cents"
The treasury department immedi-
ately forwarded to her perfectly
good brand-new dollar bill, and in
formed her that It would get her ex-
actly 100 cents worth of goods any
where she wanted to present it. That
sounds fshy, but I: is the honest

Japanese Opposed Census Taking.

Japanese Opposed Census Taking.
Serious results followed the taking
of the first census. in Japan, years
ago. Observing with approval the
work of western countries, the au-
thorities thought 1t advisable to take
statistics of population, and for that
purpose sent out to all householders
notices enjoining them to furnish
them with full particulars Of their
families, age, sex, etc. This step was
misconstrued In one of the villages,
where suspicion was expressed that
Japan was about to be sold or at least
some of the people were to be sold to
foreigners who we're dsirOus of ascer-
tanning the number of males, ETC., be-
fore closing the bargain. in order to
find out what price to pay according
to the quantity Of blood that would be
forthcoming. It was Japanese belief
the foreigners squeezed the blood
from all who came into their power.
Excited and enraged mobs soon col.
lected and attacked the village Offices,
and 1t was some time before order
could be restored.

Should Not BE More Than Tepid,
and the Delicate Fabric Must
Never BE Rubbed.

Persons who know nothing OF the
care of fine laces are often driven
to distraction when they try to nna
out. owing to the conflicting charac-
ter of the rules laid down. Here are
some words Of wisdom from the
mouth OF q woman who has inherited
lot OF old lace. which she launders
herself when necessary.
Boiling water. which l saw recon-
mended In q recent article on the
subject. should never be used" she
says emphatically. 1T would ruin
anything but imitation lace. and even
that would shrink to a string II sub
jected to such treatment. Boiling wa
ter also sets the dirt in q delicate
fabric. II lace is to be made clean
without injury to itself. tepid water
must be used. and the soap must
never be rubbed directly upon 1t. A

what agrees with 1t best, and in that
the lace should soak all night No
rubbing Is one of the rules.
In the morning the lace should be
lifted into a new hair sieve and luke
warm water poured over 1t until 1t
runs clear. II it still looks soiled,
soak It again in suds and pinch gen.

for the final rinsing.
Some persons prefer the tea tint
to that given by coffee, and, In addi-
ton, there is no odor. 1t Is best to
try piece Of linen in the tinted wa
ter before putting in the lace, for as
the wet linen is colored SO will the
lace be when 1t Is dry.
Before drying the lace wrap 1t in
piece of old cotton cloth and
squeeze hard, otherwise when 1t is
hung to dry the color will be deepest

way to dry 1t, however. is to pin it
