Work For The PIT. A.

There is no doubt that lessons in
social hygiene should be taught to
young boys and girls. How to go a.
bout it wisely is the problem. One late
ly suggested plan is to use the set of
beautifully illustrated cards that the
State Board of Health of Georgia will
loan or sell and from these a mother
or teacher, or both, to give talks to
groups of the girls for instance, not
more than six or eight of them at a
time. Men teachers with the boys, also
in the small groups recommended, is
satisfactory way to handle difficult
subjects to make the appeal serious
and impressive.

Chinese Dragon Reappears.
A number of interesting things about
the marriage of the deposed boy emper
or of China on last Friday were first
OF all that he had preceded this POM
pous affair with sort of marriage on
the day before with his hearts real
choice who by a form of Chinese GER
emory became officially his secondary
WIFE There was strange minglng of
Oriental and Occidental symbols, of
past royal custom and of present re-
publican manners at the wedding. The
surprising thing is that the ceremonies
were allowed to SAVIOR so much of i'm
perialistic privileges even to use of the
imperial dragon flag which had not
been seen in the streets of Pekin since
the republic began and a part of the
ceremony was conducted on the throne
of the imperial hall as if the family
still retained their regal supremacy. 1t
is true that this is the first time
that foreigners had ever entered the
sacred court of this so-caled Forbid
den City, and their presence togeth-
er with the officials of the Chinese
republic in uniform like the western
countries use on the one hand and
the royal robes and peacock feathers
of the Manchu officials on the other,
presented an incongruous scene, es
pecially in view of that exclusion the
Chinese have so long maintained.

Fabulous Price.

The astonishing fact OF man pay
ing $4,000 for special variety OF
strawberry plant has been somewhat
enormously construed by some read
ers. Not for single plant but for the
privilege of developing a single, re-
markable variety is the real transac-
ton and the purchaser has no fear
OF soon getting his money back as
this plant bears twice a year and will
give him monopoly of the fall pro-
duction at prices commensurate with
the rarity of the fruit. which is said
to be exceedingly fine in quality. This
Michigan man has had 80 years exper-
fence in strawberry culture and says
this plant will revolutionize the straw
berry industry of the world. 1t is
called the Rockhill, being bred gy
man of that name, at Conrad Iowa.

Stimulating Courtesy.

Though the kindness and respect
shown his aged mother by the children
OF his home town last year, a bachelor
son who was especially devoted to her
was led to will fund of $500 in bonds
to the care of the town authorities
the interest of which he would have to
be divided annually between the boy
and girl who had shown the greatest
respect and courtesy to old people in
the place. The son has now died and
his mother, aged 80, will doubtless be
the object of greater consideration
than otherwise, thanks to his bequest.
