The election commissioners of Bos-
ton have found what appears to be
happy solution Of the problem Of pro-
viding the additional voting facilities
made necessary by the advent Of equal
suffrage. Some 40 or more Sunday
school rooms have already been desig7
mated as regular polling places. The
churches and Sunday schools in sew
eral sections Of the country have made
considerable progress in recent years
in the work Of establishing themselves
as important civic centers Voting is
one of the most important civic obi
cations. In becoming, as they are in
Boston, regularly established polling
places, the churches are performing a
particularly valuable service, says the
Cleveland Plain Dealer. The prece-
dent established by the Boston
churches might well be followed.

Among the thousands at the zoo q
day Or two ago was frankly aston
ished American gentleman. Round
him on all sides were hundred came
ras busily clicking records of the ami
NAL inmates. 1t is refreshing to think
that New York should be astonished
at anything in this country, but it ap-
pears that cameras, which are one of
the leading features at our own zoo,
are taboo in the ZOO at New York, and
the American had left his camera at
home in the belief that a similar ban
would be in operation here, says the
London Daily News. But, far from
frowning at photography, the London
ZOO almost coddles the amateur snap
shotter, and the New Yorker would
have been still more amazed had he
known that the keeper of the wolves
has key in his pocket which will ad-
init any photographer to a specially
provided dark room in a little corner
Of the ZOO.

A WOMAN'S MARRIED" NAME.

If you have from your very first
conscious thought regarded yourself
as Anna Maria Brown, you can't sud-
denly, with any comfort, regard your
self as Mrs. Thomas Smith, or a few
years later as Mrs Henry Green and
then as Mrs. Richard Robinson. It is
too reminiscent of cattle branding,
says the New Republic. And histori-
cally, of course, it is in the same class.
For woman to take a mans name is
a symbol Of what once was true; that
once he owned her body, her property
and her opinions. Man and wife were
one not in the sense that they were he
and she, but entirely and altogether
he. Anna Maria Brown was quite thor
Oughly done away with, and it was
very proper to symbolic that by TAX
ing away her name. And it is equally
proper now to give it back to her. Mar
ried women do vote, after all, and
manage their property and get di-
vorces if a finger is lifted against
them; they've got back their bodies
and money and opinions, why not their
names?

Times mutations are exemplifed
'strikingly in the statement made by
members attending the convention Of
the National Association of Cemetery
superintendent that the old-time
ghost with his winding sheet and grin
ming skull is absent from the yards
over which they preside. It seems only
a little while since every graveyard
had it's shade to terrify the young,
alright the simple and confound the
sage, says the Detroit Free Press. It
isn't long, as the calendar marks it,
since only the stoutest of hearts
would venture into the silent city af-
ter nightfall and then only to the &C.
compartment of gay and indecorous
whistling. The spook disappeared
about the time graveyards became
cemeteries and trained superintend-
ents replaced sections, say the conven-
TONERS. Drainage, landscape garden
ing and the lawnmower put the
wraiths to rout. They could not get
along without thedamp, dour at

ground.

MORE AGILE EDUCATION.

Superintendent Nichols of South
Evanston comes out very strongly for
more music, dancing and athletics in
schools. AS brain tonics, to increase
mental agility in the young, these d.
versions, he says, have incalculable
value. There are excellent presidents
for the theory. TO any student Of
history this ultra-modern democratic
education seems happy reversion to
that Sixteenth and Seventeenth CEN
fury system which produced Porthos,
Athos, Aramis, D'Artagnan and their
peers Young blades in those days
studied the humanities, but their tutor
split his time with teachers Of music,
dancing, equitation, fencing and forti-
fcation. Book learning went fifty
fifty with agile disciplines and voca-
tlonal value. On the whole, the blend
worked beautifully, though then as
now the humanities sometimes con-
f1icted with the ABILITIES, says the Chi
cago News. because our tutor, Ora
vet, killed La Motto, who taught us
to dance, we had to leave Freiberg,"
writes the Seigneur de Bassompierre,
discussing his boyhood training. Yet
this tutor, a stickler for the classics,
was as liberal as any modern in peda-
gogical practice. Bassompierre re-
cords that his young mind became so
interested in Aristotle and others
1nusty books that my tutor was OBJ
liged, from time to time, to- draw me
away from them in order to divert my
mind"

a GOOD NEWS ITEM.

Many tales have been told in news
paper offices to illustrate the essential
qualifications Of a good news item.
Each city editor supposedly has his
favOrite assortment to impress the
young reporter, at least tradition has
so equipped him, says the Indianapolis
Star. Probably there are hundreds Of
efficient city editors who only have
lectured the cub in rather picturesque
language when that hapless youth was
found wanting in the pinch. One Of
these definitions of a true news story,
as drawn by a New York editor was
as follows IF baby falls out of
ten-story building and is killed, there's
no news in that. But if baby falls
that distance and lands unhurt in
baby carriage, that is a real story"
If the originator of the formula is still
alive. he will enjoy publishing IN &C.
tual happening similar to the hypothe-
teal case he had devised. A New
York youngster has proved that pos
session Of Il rabbits foot isn't essential
to good luck by tumbling six stories
from the roof Of an apartment house
and landing only slightly bruised in
baby carriage. Not long ago he
dropped from a fourth-story window
and landed on clothes line, which
broke the fall and prevented serious
injury. After surviving two such
thrilling exploits he should exercise
the greatest caution, for he may be
doomed to slip on the wet pavement
and break his neck.

Let us have all the information pro-
durable about the unemployed-their
number, their lines of work when
work is to be had and the reasons for
their lack of work now, says the
Washington Star. Discussion of this
grave subject has proceeded too long
ION gossip and assumption. III this
way some eXaggeratiOns doubtless
have crppt in and confused the situa-
ton and increased discomfort. There
may not be 100000 unemployed men
and women in the United States, and
among those III existence there may
not be in all, or even in a majority,
of the cases the desperation so vivid
ly described and accepted as fact.

ever their needs, the unemployed, and
particularly those wishing and seek
ing for employment, are entitled to all
the consideration that can be paid

When you look up at star in the
heavens you may think you see the
star as it is at present. This is not
true, and Isabel NJ. Lewis, writing in
st. Nicholas, says that little star
known as 81 Cygni, in the constella-
ton Cygnus, the first star to have it's
distance from the solar system deter
mined, is about eight light years re-
moved from us. In other words, its
light takes about eight years to travel
the distance that separates it from the
solar system, and as a result we see
it, not as it is tonight, but as it was
at the time when the light now enter
ing our eyes first started on it's jour-
ney, eight years ago.

that we all lived under "a great in

birds had to be careful not to- bump:
into it. Whether it was made Of ice.
or. glass the great scholar could, not
decide, but he was positive that be-
yond it the human mind could never
reach. Then came Copernicus and
suddenly the universe expanded into
the vastness Of limitless space. He
put, no restrictions to the great ocean
of nothingness in which floats the
world. Now the astronomers insist
upon ending this dream of liberty,
says the New York Sun. They are
coming back to the old conception; in
deed, they are setting limits to the
universe, are erecting around us new
bowl. At the recent meeting of the
American Astronomy association at
Middletown, Conn.,, photographs Of the
heavens were shown which, so it was
said, actually made it possible to meas
ure these limits from one edge to the
other. And so it seems, instead of en-
joying the freedom which we supposed
was ours, we are hedged in within
narrow confines measuring only some
100000 light years. After all, what
the human race needs is elbow room.
