Or. Eliot On Education.

DR.. Eliot says: THE practise OF
England and America is literally CEN
turtles behind the precept Of the best
thinkers upon education" Is 1t not
humillating that an American is forced
to make such an admission concern
Ing our most vital American institu-
ton?
What can be done? How can this
wasteful school system be speedily
remedied so that it fills its real func-
ton and sends out into the world
boys and girls developed according to
their individual talents as far as those
talents permit? 1t is big question,
but in my next article, / propose to
outline rational, practical system OF
public education which will serve
those ends.-Pictorial Review.

were so intense that she would scratch
and rub till 1t would leave ugly sores.
The sores also appeared on her body,
and her clothing irritated them 30

to her body. She would lie awake of
nights and was very worrisome. AT
times she was tortured with itching

MODERATE pRlNKER TO BLAME.

We maintain, not as radical reform
ers or as prejudiced prohibitionists'
but merely as fairly intelligent obsery-
ers, that the example of the moderate
drinker is far more dangerous than
that of the habitual drunkard-Just as
the respectable" saloon is far more
dangerous than the basement dive.
What young man ever takes his first
glass with the intention of becoming
like the Keeling, degraded sot ne
passes in the street with disgustY Or
like the pitiful wreck of humanity

an inebriate asylum No, he intends

AND THEN THEY UNDERSTOOD
L Locomotive Engineer Made Quito
Plain What Had Caused Argu.
rnent Between Travellers.

Two commercial travellers while in
a train got into an argument over
the action OF the vacuum brake.
ITS the imitation Of the tube that
stops the train" declared the first
traveller
Wrong, wrong!" shouted the SEQ
ond. ITS the output of the exhaus-
ton"
Then when tho train arrived at tho
station they agreed to submit the mat"
ter for settlement to the engineer.
That gentleman, leaning condescend-
ingly from his cab, listened with an
attentive frown to the two travellers
statements OF their argument. Then
he smiled. shook his head and said:
"well, gents, ye'ro both wrong
about tho workin' OF the vacuum
brakes. Yet it's very simple and easy
to understand. When we want to stop
the train wo Just turn this valve and
then we fill the pipe with vacuum! -

GOING up AND GOING DOWN.

Two men, one well dressed and the
other seedy and webbing, walked
along the street. A third man asked
a fourth: What makes the differ
ence between those two men?" and
got this reply: "One patronizes dry
goods and grocery stores, and the
other patronizes saloons" That was
explanation sufficient, but this may be
added: "The seedy man is we'll edu-
Gated and his wife college graduate
while the we'll dressed man has little
education but gets value in return for
his money. Saloons make difference
enough in two mep, one going up and
the other going down."

MILK IN PLACE OF BEER.

Milk bottles instead of beer bottles
reign supreme at luncheon in the
Pullman car factories. Two peddlers
at the main gate, which Is but one OF
the seven entrances, sell nearly half
a thousand bottles of milk each noon
Exclusion OF demoralizing influences
being part of the original paternalistic
regime, no saloons. with but one ex-
ception, were allowed In tho town.
Liquor interests seized upon the near
est available spot and 80 grog shops
soon clustered at Kensington, Just
across the railroad tracks and south
of Pullman. This place quickly mer'
tied tho name of "Bumtown," which
still clings to It.
Few things" writes Prof. Graham
Taylor in the Survey, ARE more strlk
ing to the observer who watches the
swarms Of men at the main gate dur
| ing the noon hour, than the absence
of beer cans and the prevalence o.
milk bottles. Bumtown, however
/ lives UP to its old reputation an'
boasts of So saloons, 90 Of which are
on the single block nearest to Pull

INTERESTING FIGURES.

To those who say that to abolish
the liquor traffic will throw men out
of work, it should be shown that the
number of those thrown out OF work
from inebriety is much larger The
number of men in Massachusetts In
the liquor traffic in 1905 was 1854;
the number OF arrests for drunken
ness was 73,972-67, 468. males and
6,504 females. Some OF those, OF
course, we're repeaters, but the aggre-
gate number OF those thrown out of
work through lnebriety is several
times the number OF men employed In
the liquor business.

Rate Cases In State Courts.

Jefferson City-It is understood
here that by an opinion handed down
by Judge A. s. Van Valkenburgh of the
United States district court, the Mis-
souri, rate cases, which John 7. Bar
ker attorney general, brought against
railroads in the state asking refund
Of S240OO,OOO for alleged excessive
fares and freight rates, are referred
to the state courts for settlement, and
the status of these cases becomes the
same as when the suits were begun.
Judge Van Valkenburgh held that
the questions involved are those
which the state must handle, and no
diversity of citizenship has been
shown.

Strike on Capitol Ended Quickly.


Jefferson City.--A settlement OF the
strike of ironworkers on the capitol
has been made, according to leaders
OF the Bridge and Structural Iron
workers union.
The demand of the union for an in
crease of 10 cents an hour was grant
ed by the employers, they say, and 30
men will return to work at once.
Members of the union WIRE jubilant
over the news of tho settlement, de-
claring it was an indication that sim
liar demands made of the ST. Louis
employers would be met The con-
tract for the steel and iron for the
capitol is held by the Christopher.
Simpson Iron Works company, one OF
the largest of the st. Louis firms.
The company is member of the Iron
Works ane Erectors' league, upon
which the union men here have made
a demand for an increase OF 10 cents
an hour.
p. j. Morrin, business agent Of the
union. said he was confident the EN-
ployers would accede to the demand
for more money in the next few
| days.
Nonunion men had been withdrawn
| by the employers in the league from
several jobs during the last few days,
