But Are Persons of Consequence in the Community. “Nearly 90 per cent. of the teach- ers in Switzerland are men,” says W. K. Tate, supervisor of rural schools In South Carolina. Mr. Tate has just returned from a three months’ inves- tigation of Switzerland under the auspices of the national bureau of ed- ucation, “Five hundred dollars is considered & good salary for-a teacher. After a lifetime of service he may go as high s $800. Living i8 cheaper there than here, however, and in addition to his salary he is given a dwelling, a cer- tain amount of garden land and wood for fuel. His dwelling is generally In the same building with the school. His position is of considerable' local Importance. Aside from his duties in the schoolroom, he is often secretary of the local creamery association, lead- er of the village band, organist in the church and general intellectual guide for the community. “When a teacher is engaged it is for life or a long term of years. He pettles down with the people whose children he teaches, and expects to make that particular jeb his . life work. Changes are rare. Twelve new teachers in one year in a sys- tem of 240 was considered very un- usual. The record for continued serv- ice in the same village is held by a teacher in Thurgau, who has occu- pied the same position for 65 years. One teacher that I visited has held his position for 24 years, and his fa- ther held the same position for 35 years. “One of the most attractive fea- tures of the Swiss schools is the cor- dial personal relation that exists be- tween teacher and pupil. There is nothing of the military in the disci- pline of the school; no lining up; no marching to classes When the chil- dren go to the classroom, they shake hands with the teacher, greeting him as if they had not seen him for a long time, and are really glad to see him. The whole relation is one of charming naturalness and kindliness on both sides.” At the Top, as Usual. At the annual banquet of the Michi- gan Society of Chicago Congressman- at-Large Kelley of Michigan was joked by several speakers upon the pre-eminence of Irishmen in public life. . . “That’s perfectly true; we-always get to the top,” answered Mr. Kelley when it came his time to speak. “I remember an example. of this that came to. my attention a . few.:years Minnesotd.

The colored cooks who were & marked type of southern farm life be- fore the war are rapidly passing away. On thousands of plantations these cooks were born on the place and re- mained In service even after freedom came to them until they were taken to the little family burying ground X for final rest. Occasionally one of these old col- ored cooks can be found &till doing good service. The average pay for colored cooks on southern farms is from $6 to $8 per month. An excep- tionally fine cook and one who has been in service many years sometimes gets as much as $10 but such wages are rare. The younger generation of colored cooks demand much higher' wages and southern housewives find them- selves compelled to pay from $15 to $24 per month in order to keep first class servants. black trousers for funeral solemnitles, The sad occasion was to demand them back again. ¢ detainer of the goods: have.’eni; hé's going to a fune “They won’t do for a funeral,” the reply. quarry in ’em.” “What will'Mr. J.— the messenger.

Hearing the Story, Mrs, Harlow Un- derstood Why Men in Some West- ern Communities Advertise for Wives to Be Sent Them. “Listen to this!” exclaimed Mrs. Harlow, looking up from the morning paper across the table at her father- in-law, who is the only other member of the family who has time to linger over breakfast. “Here's a place where women are valued as they were in the days of chivalry.” “Where is this mediaeval hamlet?” asked Mr. Harlow between sips of coftee, “Somewhere out west,” replied Mrs. Harlow, rather vaguely, for she had already begun to read the daily preachment on the woman’s page, this time concerning street car manners. “The young men of the place have ‘written our mayor, asking him to send an immediate shipment of young wom- en. They promise them husbands, homes and happiness. Imagine young men here in the east eager to ex- change bachelor freedom for the gravest of all responsibilities!” Mr. Harlow nodded understanding- ly. “It is no new desire in this part of the country,” he declared, “the de- mand was just as great 45 years ago. “I was a young man myself then,” he continued, reminiscently, “and once when I was on a hunting trip in Mis- souri I put up over night at a farmer's house where there were three sons and only one daughter, “Shortly after I got there a wagon drove up containing two young men, who were instantly ushered into the parlor. Supper was then served, but while we were. eating the howling of the dogs announced a newcomer. It was a third young man. The mother rose to admit him, but the daughter rushed forward. “‘Don’t get up, maw!’ she said. ‘Its one of my fellers. Come in, Jim. Howdy do? “After supper I was invited to sit in the kitchen. Jim was left in sole pos- session of the sitting room. Scarce- ly were we comfortably settled in the kitchen when a fourth young man made his appearance. “The house consisted of only three rooms» Two beaus were already in the parlor, and one in the sitting room. There was nothing for the last comer, therefore, except to make himself as happy as he could in the kitchen, while the young lady divided‘her attention impartially between the four. Ten ,minutes later there were two more ar .rivals. #‘The widderers,’ the youngest boy explained, audibly. “At nine -o'clock I wanted to go to bed, and the father divined my ‘wishes. “‘I'm sorry, stranger,’ he said, ‘but the only bed is in the parlor, and this is courtin’ night. Them two in the parlor never leave afore mid- night, and the other four’ll straggle along later. “‘Friday night is purty bad, but Sundays it's wuss. Last Sunday night there was ten on ’em; and the gal's gittin’ more'n more partic’lar!’ “Seeing no other resource, I betook myself to a haystack in the yard and the old man remarked as he lighted me along: “Yes, sir, courtin's always brisk in Missouri!’ "—Youth’s Companion. Queen Mary's Aversions. The old-fashioned ways of Queen Mary of England are not entirely ap- proved by the sporting element of Great Britain. She has held the prince of Wales, who has a sportive diathesis, well in hand, though .the tafk has not by any means been an easy one. The queen has a horror of the turf, as the English. name -horse racing, and everything connected with it, and it is said that if she-has her way the whele of the royal stud would be disposed of tomorrow. The young prince is about to. attend his first race meeting. - It is his ambition— in this/he is somewhat like his grand- father, Edward VIL—to own anum- ber of fast horses, but the queen will listen to no suggestions along that line. “ It is said that she has no great sympathy with collectors ot old furniture. A chair was recent- sessor who informed her majesty .that he had paid £600—$3,000—for it. “Rather more than I spent for. fur- nishing the whole of my cottage after my muriagg," was her prudent reply. It is these homely traits that serve to endear her, not to the aristocracy, but to the common people of Great Britain, Consumption in France. Dr. Jacques Bertillon of Paris, has given it as his opinion that alcohol may be called the principal cause o} consumption. He says that all France is divided in two sections. North of not thrive and thte: favorite beveragea are cider and beer. In that section culosis is of frequent occurrence. The other section is south of the. sumption is of rame occurrence.

It is part of a skull and jawbone, and will come to be known as the “Pilt- down” skull. So far, it i8 believed possible, the remains belong to that immensely remote period when the North Sea was dry and the mastodon roamed the land; in short, to the Plio- cene era. The skull is extraordinarily thick, nearly one-half of an inch. It has a good straight forehead, and un- doubtedly had brain. The jaw seems to indicate, however, that there was no power of speech. There are mere- 1y two well worn molar teeth in place, but other things show that in life there were great canines and large front teeth. In this it differs from the famous Heidelberg skull, which is also apelike in form but hman as to teeth. It was found with mastodon and Plio- cene elephant bones, and primitive flints; but these, Sir Ray Lankester considers, may or may not have been coeval. The skull is being restored. It seems to link man to a new spe cles and confirm his near relation tc the ape. The find was made by an ;mateur geologist, Charles Dawson, F. . A, —— Modern Dentistry Not Modern. A medical authority has just stated & number of newly acquired bits of information that would seem to re- fute the proposition that modern den- tistry is modern. Achievements of unknown dentists of ancient Egypt and Rome prove the contrary. Just who the dentists were, the historians do not always relate, but the results of their work have proved beyond a doubt that bridge work—on which we moderns specially pride ourselves —of the most skillful kind was done as long ago as six or seven centuries before Christ. In the tomb of Sidon were found four incisors and two ca- aine teeth in the jaw of a woman th: were held together by gold wire, two >f the former being transplanted teeth —what might be called crowns in this jay—fastened in by gold w* In ‘he museum at Corneto, th \. ient sapital of the Etruscan federa. .., are Brinkman Theater What's New In snowland Beginning thls evening and continuing the last half of the week The Brink- man—Bemidji's Theatre, will feature the Original Cherry Sisters One of the best and highest priced vaudeville attractions traveling in the United States.
