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.
