mour & Co. and Swift A Co, have been
inspected by Mayor Bliss and City
Health Officer Plerpons.
The manager of each house was ar-
rested, ns a quantity of spoiled most
was found.
The packing firms claim, however,
that It was not their Intention to offer
this meat for sale, but that they In
tended to sstul the meat away to be
destroyed. It Is a violation of the city
ordinances to keep tainted meat on
hand for any length of time.
DOES EDUtATION MAKE OLD MAIDS?
By ARLETTA BURROUGHS.
S It trut that education Is making
old maids?
Dr. William L. Feller, princi
pal of the Girls’ High school, of Brook
lyn, claims that It Is. He argues that
a complete reform must be made ns
to the higher education of girls If the
world Is to be made permanently bet
ter through them.
He holda that the purpose of educa
tion la not to give to the world woman
muetclans, artists and authors; that
business and professional women are
not needed. He believes that the kind
of women most needed Is the one "with
even greater potentialities, with even
richer opportunities for blessing ths
race and of making the circle of her
life radiant with helpful and benign
Influences—she Is a wife and mother."
Dr. Fetter seems to bemoan th* fact
that higher education keeps some
women front marrying. While this Is
true In some cases, It certainly Is not
so much to be bewailed as would seem
at first thought. Better that one wom
an should shirk her duly to posterity
than that thousands should half way
perform theirs.
It Is well said that a child has a
right to be well born. If this Is true,
does It not follow that the more cul
tivated the mind of the mother the
more worth living will be her chil
dren? Who ever heard of a man be
ing handlcaped by th* fact that his
mother was a well-educated woman?
Is it Impossible to educate too highly
the human brain, be It male or female?
Rather Is It not desirable to ao direct
this education that It shall by transmis
sion raise th* mental, moral and physi
cal level of the human animal os the
generation* pass Into history?
I fancy th* look upon the face of
the high school girl to whom any one
dare Intimate that she could possibly
deteriorate to real usefulness In pro
portion to the amount of higher edu
cation she acquired, and every one
dreams of marriage as the highest goal
to be reached.
If the college woman remains un
married It Is usually from choice, and
who shall say that a more desirable
state of affairs does not exist where
girls are moat careful In their choice
mestic misery existing today Is dus
to thoughtless marriages, nnd I wel
come anything that will cause our girls
to pause and consider well before they
take tho step to matrimony. If higher
education will bring about.this desir
able end, by all means let us educate
our girls to the top notch.
Examples of self-made men whose
parents were illiterate and whose
struggles In mounting the ladder of
success ore recorded In history prove
nothing. They did not succeed be
cause their mothers were Illiterate, but
In spite of IL.
I venture to say that Mr. Felter or
any other good American would hesi
tate long before giving tho palm for
Intelligence to any other nation nt
men, yet where will you find women
with the Independence and chances for
higher development of the American
wife outside of our own land?
They do not soem to me, as a rule,
to have made auch bad mothers so far,
and It would seem hardly possible for
them to suddenly become so Just be
cause they have become a little more
familiar with the sciences or learned
the history of music along with th«
ability to pound out sounds.
I think It Just possible that Dr. Fel
ter lias become unnecessarily alarmed.
A little advice to tho boys aa to tak
ing a new start and keeping up with
tho girls would be more timely.
Could President Roosevelt and such
advisors ns Dr. Felter have their way,
woman would. Indeed, be reduced to
nn undesirable position. Happily, girls
thomsolvea propose to have some sty
In such Important things as the scheme
of their whole lives would encompass.
They have elected to prepare them
selves as best suits themselves for
wifehood nnd motherhood.
Whllo Dr. Felter's attack on higher
education for girls has caused quite a
stir. It will have no effect on things
educational for women, you may be
sure.
The tlmo has gone by when woman
will allow herself to be dictated to In
such matters. She has made phenom
enal progress along these lines of late
years, and she will make still greater
strides along the road of learning tn
th* years to come. In spite of those
of husbands. Nine-tenths of the do- who would place obstacles In her path.
PREVENTION BETTER THAN CURE
By J. B. LOVELACE.
As before stated, the natural procliv
ity of humanity Is onward and upward,
reaching but In every direction for the
good, the beautiful, the true, the Innate
longing of the soul to regain Its first
high estate.
That entity of man's being which
discerns only through Intuition—the
soul—is as susceptible of either In-
vlgoratlon or enervation as la that
which finds expression In the five phy
sical senses, capable of the highest and
holiest mission, or, through perversion,
that which will defeat Its purpose.
Upon the development and training of
this occult power In man depend* hla
recognition of Its existence, It* powers
and possibilities, and upon this recog
nition and exercise tn the proper direc
tion, hla happiness and greatest use
fulness, Hie moat unselfish and God
like efforts In the Interest of all man
kind.
While many are seemingly domt-
Inated by purely selfish motives of
the very meanest type, bending every
energy to the advancement of per
sonal Interests, unmindful of the rights
and privileges and comfort* of other*,
it Is inconceivable that any human be
ing I* ao depraved that there may not
be found deep down In the recesses of
hi* or her soul a desire that all man
kind might be happy, relieved of *11
sorrow and suffering, the only differ
ence between thla claaa and their an
tipodes being * matter of education
for which tome one somewhere some
how Is responsible. Even If there are
■uch. they must be so few in number,
and the great host* of those who claim
to be honestly and earnestly seeking
correction of present undesirable con
ditions, the speedy elimination of all
degrading Influences, being ao largely
In the majority, that It la a matter of
wonder that we have not already wit
nessed the consummation so devoutly
wished.
From observation, from experience,
from reason, from the teachings of the
Bible, and from the eternal truth* ao
platniy engrossed upon every page of
nature, I am fully persuaded that If
even a very email percentage of the
time, effort and money that I* being
spent In the name of charity waa spent
more judiciously. In proper direction*.
In prevention rather than cure, In edu
cating and enlightening, millions of
•ye* Hooded with tears of grief would
be sparkling with joy and gladnesa;
millions of heart* agonising In despair
would be made to rejoice and to feel
that life. Instead of being a forced bur
den without consent, la a blessing full
of bope and purpose; the thousands of
dirty, disease-breeding, moral-corrupt
ing hove!*, their Inmates desolate wo
men and starving (physically and
mentally) children, a burning sham*
to any even half-ctvtllxed people and to
the Institution* whose highest earthly
mission Is the correction and preven
tion or auch condition^ would be rt
te scenes
over by fathers and mothers whose
minds being - freed from unnecessary
enslaving, degrading burdens, would
become susceptible to the teachings
nnd Influence of the Christian religion,
realizing the dutlea and responzlblll-
tles of life, of parenthood, educating
and training their children for happl-
neaa and for live* of the greatest use
fulness; our prisons would be turned
Into Institutions of learning, and our
"temple* of Justice" Into temples of
worship to tha living God. ,
Why haa our progress bean ao alow?
While ao much has been accomplished,
while the world stands today upon a
moral and religious plane superior lo
that occupied by the people of any
former age, la It not a reasonable prop
osition to assume that little haa been
done aa compared with what might
have been accompllahed? Thla being
admitted, then does It not devolve
upon ns aa a religious duty to look
about for the cause and remedy?
All failure In any undertaking what-
soever Is dua to Injudicious or misap
plied effort. The great volume of ef
fort to absolve the world from sin with
all Its concomitant evils Is similar to
the efforts of the physician who under
take* the healing of an ulcer by exter
nal applications only, thus driving ths
poison into the system only to braxk
out again In another spot, and perbapa
In a more virulent form, while the
eradication of the poison from the
blood would cure the surface manifes
tations.

Improving Club Cooking.
The chef at a certain club within a
mile of Pall Mall had not been so suc
cessful as usual In the cooking of th*
midday chop. One of the members,
well known as one of the wealthiest
peers In the land, could put up with
the cuisine no longer.
Th# other morning, to the astonish
ment of his fellow members, he was
seen to take from his coat-tail pocket
a parcel, which on being opened re
vealed a Brobdlngnaglan chop.
"Now, then,” said the peer, “that I*
a chop—I’ve bought It myself, and I ni
going to see It cooked." And cooked
it wax. The chops of the club are now
larger and more pels table.—Taller.
