Our SCHOOLING inexpensive.

Twenty-Five million persons were en-
rolled in educational institutions in
the United States last year. And they
required 100000 teachers, Of whom
$4,000 were in public schools. to
guide them in the paths Of learning.
About $34 apiece was what it cost
a give them year Of schooling. Com.
pared with some of our other expenses
as a nation, public schools seem to be
a decidedly inexpensive hobby. They
cost less than one-helf of the nations
expenditure for alcoholic liquors, and
their expense is $300,OOO,OOO less than
that of running the federal govern.
ment. Even for admission to the NOV.
les" we spend third of what the
schools require.
Measured in terms Of products OF
the soil, the United States spent a
little more for education than the
value Of its wheat crop, and less than
half the value of the annual harvest
of corn. What the ultimate value
of the educational harvest will be is
another question.-New York lnde'

REPORT DECREASE OF CRIME
Recently Made Report That viii
Be Read With Interest.

The prison commissioners of Great
Britain have just published their an
nual report for the year ending March,
1915. The decrease of persons who
were received under sentence during
the war year of 19l4l5 is another
proof that employment is the great
cure for crime. The total number OF
persons convicted amounted to only
114,283, including debtors and those
committed by courts-martial, de-
crease of 1890 as compared with the
year of 1914, and the lowest num-
Der of convictions on record, The
greater part of this decrease is at
tributed to circumstances connected
with the war. Enlistment has given
employment to many of the habitual
petty offenders, the restricted hours
for the sale of intoxicants has un.
doubtedly decreased the amount of
crime, while the great demand for
well-paid labor has given employment
to the many.
A short time after the outbreak OF
the war orders were issued whereby
many of the prisoners who had pre-
viously served in the army were al.
lowed remission of sentence on recon-
mendation of the military authorities.
with view to rejoining their COM
panies. There have been over $40
inmates released for this purpose.
The report also states that drunken.

per cent.

MAN TAKES SECOND PLACE
Many Ways IN Which He Is Inferior to
the Partner of His Joys
and Sorrows.

A man can't do two things at time.
A woman will broil steak and see
that the coffee does not boil over, and
watch that the cat does not steal the
remnant of the meat on the kitchen
table, and dress the youngest boy, and
set the table, and see to the toast, and
stir the oatmeal, and give the orders
to the butcher, and she can do 1t all
at once, and not half try.
Man has done wonders since he
came before the public. He has navi-
gated the ocean, he has penetrated
the mysteries OF the starry heavens,
he has harnessed the lightning, and
made it light the great cities Of the
world.
But he can't find reel of thread in
his wifes workbasket; he can't dis
cover her pocket in dress hanging in
the closet; he cannot hang out clothes
and get them on the line the right end
up. He cannot hold clothespegs in his
mouth while he is doing it, either He
cannot be polite to somebody he hates.
He cannot sew on button. In short,
he cannot do a hundred things that
women do almost instinctively.

His ChiIdren's Work.

be seen, was certainly fitting recip-

box by the chartable-minded. Day af-

caring how he managed the journey to

part of the town that might be, with
out an accident. What brought you
to this, my poor fellow?' inquired a
lady of rather more practical turn
of mind than many. "My children,
maam,' replied the fellow, with a
pitiful groan. Dropping some coins
into the box, the lady passed on, with
a remark to her companion as to what
some children are responsible for. A
bystander, who overheard the remark,
asked him the ages of his children.
THE eldest is twelve, and there are

DOGS NO MATCH FOR BUCK
Animal at Bay Proved Itself Master OF
Pack That Had Been Put on
It's Track.

Animals of different species do not
often fight one another because they
cannot comprehend or guard against
an attack different from that used by
one of their own kind.
The predatory beasts in many cases
overcome their prey, not because they
are very much stronger, but because
of the fear and confusion that their
strange method of attack rouses in
their quarry.
For example, a dog Of fighting
breed charges like lion, and nearly
every member of the deer tribe, in
GLIDING even the elk and moose, flies
from him in panic; but when one OF
these animals learns the real power OF
the dog it is different matter.
Hobart Ames kept number of deer
in a park at his winter home in Ten
nessee, among them a buck with a
fine set of horns. The buck came to
have great contempt ana dislike for
dogs, and any unfortunate dog that
got into the deer Enclosure did we'll to
escape with his life.
The buck had learned that no dog
could withstand the charge or the
thrust of his horns, and running from
them was the last thing he thought OF.
On the other hand, the dogs were
greatly puzzled by an animal that
ought by all rules to run away, but
did not
One night the big buck jumped out
of his yard, and Mr.. Ames' foreman put
the dogs on the deer's track and found
him in a thicket a quarter of mile
from the house. There was a fight,
and then the dogs were seen coming
home at top speed, followed by the
enraged buck.
His hair was turned the wrong way
and his eyes burned redly as he
charged every dog ne could overtake.
Several Of the hounds were badly hurt
and all of them were scared.
They fed to their own quarters, and
It required the combined efforts Of the
kennel men and stable boys to rescue
the pack Probably If a single one OF
the hounds had learned to fight deer
at bay his example would have been

Cacao Used as Currency.

Cacao passed as currency among
the natives of Central and South
America at the time of the European
conquest, and that despite plentiful
supply of gold. Joseph Acosta, In
1910, tells us the Indians used none
of their gold or silver for traffic in
or buy withall, and unto this day the
custom continues among them that
instead Of money they use caeao."
The Aztecs of ancient Mexico also
used "cacao" as small change, as
many as 5000 beans being counted
legal tender. The value of the beans
may be judged from the fact that "a
tolerably good slave" could be pur-.
chased for 100 OF them.-London

HELPS
FILL ALL PEWS
SUNDAY NIGHT

The Inner Mission Society solved a
great church problem by filling the
pews at st. Pauls Lutheran church
Sunday nights. according to report
made to the st. Paul's Lutheran
Brotherhood last nigth by Edward H.
Hasemeier.
The report reflected a departure
from the common Sunday evening
service policy in Richmond, by which
the value of the service will be great
er under Rev. Rohlfing's plan, to those
who do not attend church frequently.
II believe the morning service
should be doctrinal-for the old mem
bers," said Rev. Rolling today. "The
evening service should be popular, but
by all means, the sermons should be
biblical. Nothing should be used un-
less it has connection with the text.
The old church members cannot be
expected to come on Sunday night.
They like to sit at home and read. :"
Draws Upon Non-Attendants.
This leaves the infrequent church
attendants and persons who belong to
no church, for the Inner Mission So
ciety to draw upon. After creating
this attendance, the interest is sus-
tanned by making the evening service
popular. Rev. Rohlfing suggested its
value for young unmarried couples.
Next Sunday am going to preach
on The Romantic Story Of Ruth The
sermon will deal with marriage. Ruth
and Boaz were married and by that
marriage Christ was born. They were
among his progenitors."
Mr.. Hasemeier reported that the
membership of the Inner Mission So
ciety, the church's social service body.
is about half filled. It will have 100
members.
