QUAKER INDICATIONS.

[From the Philadelphia Recordl
A pessimist is a man whose warm
friends are all dead.
After all, life would be very nonotonous
without It's illusions.
It's a good plan to forgive your enemy,
especially If he has you down.
Money can get a man into almost as
much trouble as it can get him out of.
When man has money to burn there
is generally woman to apply the torch.
1t seems as though a woman can get
sick every time the doctor needs the
money.
No. Maude, dear; we wouldn't advise
you to look for an heirloom in a wind
mill.
The opportunities we are all most eager
to embrace are naturally the good looking
ones.

million He'll bet you'd marry one

The difference between a LUXURY and a
necessity is much the same that be-
tween a character and a reputation.

WORLDS WOMEN's EXPOSITION

Probably the women of America
who are enlisted in the crusade to
emancipate their sex from the second
airy place it has always had in the af-
fairs of the world, will be interested
in some recent news from South
Africa. 1t comes in the form of a con-
sular report to the state department
in Washington.
johannesburg, made famous by its
mines and the Boer war, has a woman
mayor. And johannesburg is not
small town like Hunnewell, which re-
Gently attained considerable notoriety
because it elected a woman to be its
chief executive. The African munich
pality is a city of more than 100000
people. The consular report does not
say whether its mayor was elected on
an equal suffrage ticket or was put
into Office because she possesses in an
exceptional degree the qualities de-
manGed in a good mayor. The mere
fact that she is the mayor should give
new impetus to the struggle for votes
for women in all countries that have
the ballot.
What inspired the report to the gov
eminent is the fact that this woman
mayor, Mrs. A. NJ. Ellis, is the pro-
moter of an international women's ex-
pOSluOn, De hGlQ IN n0T own city
She is sending out invitations to wom-
en- all over the world to prepare ex-
hibits and send them there. And it is
worthy of notice by those who think
that the modern business woman has
put the ordinary affairs of the house
hold behind her to know that she asks
principally for examples of women's
home handiwork. American. English,
German, Italian. Japanese, Russian
and all other women are requested to
send their best sofa pillows, shirt
waists, cushion covers, hand painted
screens and china. embroidered hand
kerchiefs, etc.
Johannesburg is remote from many
of the most civilized countries and it
| is to be expected that Mrs. Ellis ex-
position will not compare with any of
the worlds fairs held in Europe or
the United States. But she has given
women an idea which they will not
relinCuish. The time is not far distant
| when there will be an international
exposition, exclusively of women's
work, which will mark one of the most
important eras in the progress of man
kind

DEFECTIVE SCHOOL CHILDREN.

of the 100000 school children in
this country, not less than rs per cent
need attention today for physical de-
fects which are prejudicial to health
and which are partially or completely
remediable." This is the finding OF
DR.. Thomas D. Wood, professor OF
physical education in the Teachers
college, Columbia university, New
York, and published for free distribu-
ton by the United States bureau OF
education.
Careful study of statistics and
estimation of all conditions leads to
the following personal, conclusions
writes DIR. Wood:
From Il to 2 per cent, or 100000,
Of these have organic heart disease.
Probably per cent, 100000 al
least, have now or have had tubercu-
lous disease of the lungs.
About per cent, or 100000, have
spinal curvature, fat foot. or some 9TH
err moderate deformity serious enough
to interfere to some degree with
health.
lover 5 per cent, or !, 100000, have
defective hearing.
about 25 per cent, or 100000,
have defective vision.
about IS per cent. or 100000, are
suffering from malnutrition, in many
cases due in part at least to one or
more of the other defects enumerated.
"Over 80 per cent, or 100000, have
enlarged tonsils, adenoids, or enlarged
cervical glands which need attention.
lover SO per cent, or 100000 Gin
some schools as high as SO per cent?,
have defective teeth which are inter-
fering with health.
Several millions of the children
possess, each, two or more of the
handicapping defects.
about 100 cities in the United
States have as many different kinds of
organizations for the care of health in
the schools.
1.-The most important of all our ma
tional resources is the health of the
people," rightly continues DR.. Wood.
1.-The most valuable asset in our capital
of national vitality is the health of the
children.
Public education is the logical, the
strategic, and the responsible agency
of the nation, of each state, and of
each community for the conservation
and enhancement of child health.
'To become an effective instrument
for the protection and promotion of
child health, it is essential that the
school should not only be a sanitary,
healthful place for children, but that
the various agencies in public educa-
ton should be so organized that each
pupil may be given the best possible
to escape weakness and
disease and far more to realize the
attainable best in growth, in develop
ment of biologic. intellectual, moral.
social and economic power

Thomas JEFFERSON ir a letter to his
A young girl was sorting out her
clothes for the weeks washing. She
held ND a distinctly soiled petticoat for
Inspection, hesitated over it a moment,
and then put it back IN the wardrobe.
''That's too soiled to wear afternoons
any more" she decided, but guess l
can wear it with my morning dresses
another week"
Don't you think that's rather a queer
point of view?
When the morning is the freshest,
sweetest time in all the day, why
should anything too soiled to be worn
at the tag end of the day be cons1d-
cred suitable to wear then? And yet
you'll admit that it is a very common
habit among women to exact few
DAVIS of wear in the kitchen from the
afternoon toggery which is too soiled
to appear again in the living room be-
fore it has been washed.
And just as "tacky' as this habit OF
wearning half soiled things in the
morning is that of finishing up
half worn f1nery about ones
homework. One of The incest girls
ever knew had this queer trick. She
was a wholesome looking girl VINO

perhaps an illustration of an article
on the wrong way to do it.
To my mind percale and gingham
and such cloths belong to the morning
Just as naturally and inextricably as
silks and laces belong to the evening.
They are of the genus of morning
fresh and crisp and dainty; like morn
ing light, and morning flowers ana
morning bird songs.
1t seems to me that no matter how
wealthy one might be, one could not
buy anything more beautiful for the
morning than a fresh and simple cot
ton dress. At q house party 1 once
attended one of the Weather guests
used to appear at breakfast in rich
negIigee of pale blue silk and lace. 1t
probably cost ten times as much as the
little pink bingham dress Of her next
neighbor, but to my mind it was not
half so beautiful because not hair so
appropriate to the genus of the morn
ing.
morning ought to be just as much
part of every nice girls sartorial ambi-
ton as to dress richly and fashionably
in the afternoon and evening.
And Thomas Jefferson's advice is
quite as good today as the day he
gave it.

The sentiment that accompanies the

new century, is now being manifested
in reference to the preservation of the
home Of the cIif-dweIling Indians,
whose history is as mysterious and

of Israel. Various theories have been
propounded regarding the cliff dwell
iers. Legends have it that they are
the descendants of Montezuma. The
popular theory is that the Indians be-
gan by living in caves, the homes that
nature had provided, and then, with
