An Ideal Fish
By Kob«rt \V. Chambers
» r <>, in some cold, clear streams of the North, certain
-fish known locally as "Mohawk chubs.” These fish are the
■Ideal fish in shape nml color-graceful, slim, elegant creatures,
pure silver except on the dorsal ridge, which Is the tint of
oxydized sliver. They are tender-mouthed, and remind me
somewhat of the grayling, although they have not the great
dorsal fin nor the fragile mouth of that fish. They often In
habit trout waters, and 1 have an Idea that trout feed on the
smaller ones, although I have no absolute proof that this It
true. I know, however, that pickerel, mnsknlongo and black bass strike at
them eagerly.
These fish rise to a fl.v and are often Quite ns gamy ns grayling. Often
ond often I have struck them In trout waters, and have found them Interesting
lighters when tackie is light and water cold and swift.
Animals and birds appear to be very fond of them, or at least are often
seen eating them, perhaps because they may be ensjer to eateli .than trout.
, here Mohawk chubs nre herons and kingfishers congregate. The onlv time
I ever saw an osprey In that region was once when whipping that stream,
ilie osprey dashed down within a rod of me and seized a Mohawk chub that
intrst have weighed a .pound nt least, bearing him up out of the pool and away
-across acres of swamp toward the distant fovest.-Uarper's Weekly

The Life and Health
!/ * of Young Girls
By Dr. James II. AlcDrldc, the Alienist and Neurologist
0 HK girls of the present day who are brought np tinder more
comfortable conditions than their grandmothers have gained
much, no doubt. In the change of conditions; but they have
lost something In that In many homes there is less of healthy
exercise, less of that kind of work that developed the body
and also developed simple and healthy tnstes. There Is as a
result of this poorer physical development, less feeling of re*
■ sponslhillty In the home on the part of the young Indies.and
not so great a sense of duty. When every member of the
.family had everyday, specific duties—work to do that had to be done, work
that exercised the body as well as the moral sense In discharging n duty—
■such life, dreary and harsh as It sometimes was and often barren of most of
those things Hint we regard ns common ioinforts, bad nt lenst the great ndvau*
tago of providing work that furnished physical exercise, nml that Wns aisd
■done under the grouse of obligation. There Is a moral and physical healthful-
ness in such n life that goes to the making of strnflg nnd simple characters,
and that puts purity of blood nnd vigor of constitution into descendants.
The number of young women who soon a (Tor marriage break down from
the unexpected strain of now duties is very large. Tho mother of a young
woman who had.become a nervous invalid within two years after marriage
said to me there was no apparent cause for her daughter's illness, ns she had
been shielded from everything from childhood. Why, indeed, should anyone
be shielded? Wns it ever the case anywhere that n person who had been
shielded grew to be n forceful character or proved u success in presence of the
swift and onerous demands of life?

The Newspaper and the State
By Samuel Bowles, Journalist
HE difficulties of producing n worthy nnd excellent newspaper
nre great. It cannot be efficient nnd Independent unless It
is at least self-sustaining; or. to put It in another way, unless
it exhibits qualities which will command the support of the
public. Of course, the press may be endowed. In some way.
but tho endowment is apt to be encumbered with an obliga
tion to serve some other interest than tlint of the public. It
seems to me Impossible for a journal that 1$ entirely nnd
short-sightedly commercial in Its spirit to be of value ns a
’public mentor. Such n journal Is apt to be more harmful than helpful in Its
influence. The duty that rests upon every member of society to so condnct bis
Jmsiuess, to so perform his part, that good, not evil, shall flow from his action,
“appeals with peculiar force to the journalist. Tho true journalist Is broad
minded nnd far-sighted enough to see that the host service he can possibly
render the public is the best Investment he can moke for himself.
The life of the worker of the press who is thoroughly devoted to bis railing
is strenuous nnd laborious. It is attended with an almost incessant strain
unon the patience and the nerves. The work is never ended; the responsibility
and the anxiety never cease; emergencies gre always imminent, and they de
mand the full expenditure of brain nnd muscle. Those who enter upon It
should do so with a keen sense of its responsibilities ns If entering any one
of the so-called learned professions. The newspaper which goes Into the
homes and iiauuts of the people should be clean, harmonious, attractive, ar
tistic, beautiful. To please and Improve the taste f*f his reader should be the
constant aim of tho maker. The public welfare' should be his sole guide 111
determining the contents of his sheet. That affords abundant Held for the
exercise of skill, ability nnd energy, and the employment of sensation of a
worthy sort in making bis paper popular nnd strong and profitable,
i The new conditions and problems created by the country’s rapid growth
constitute a new and Insistent call upon the presu to rise to it* opportunities,
to perform its obvious duty. These relate not alone to the affairs of the Nation
nnd State, but to the immediate environment of every newspaper in the
land. The time is ripe for making our home coum-.unity life iu every city, town
and village cleaner, fairer, richer, happier, more just and m6re beautiful. This
ie to come through a high development of the civ 4 /; spirit, and in that develop
ment the press should be the most potent factor.

"How
The Art oi Salesmanship
By L. D. Vogel
OOD salesmanship Is to essential to all lines of business, and so
worthy of Intelligent study and execution, that the calling, to my
mind, is lifted to the dignity of a profession. First, let me say
tbnt'the definitions of salesmanship which I shall offer are not my
own, but quotations from what I have read; nnd, coming as they
do from salesmen of experience who have been successful, they nre
entitled to "respectful consideration.
"Salesmanship Is the qualify in a man—partly inherent, partly
acquired—whereby he is able to successfully Introduce, Interest In
nnd sell n prospective customer any article or commodity."
I will quote a few others, which impress me as being particularly good, anil
which I singled out of many and copied: "The ability to sell goods, or other
property, in n straightforward manner, with satisfaction to nil concerned and
with the least expenditure of time and money, but having always chiefly In
view the benefit to bo derived by the person for whom the property Is sold.”
Another; "Salesmanship is that quality In a salesman which enables him,
in the shortest space of time, to place in the possession of his customer the
greatest amount of satisfactory merchandise, nnd In the coffers of his employ
ers the greatest amount of profits; while st the same time preserving the last
ing good will and respect of his customer.”
Bear in mind, please, that a salesman is not in the salesmanship class, ac*
eiitJing to this authority, unless he can lsotli make a profit for bis employer
and preserve the lasting respect and goed will of the customers.
Another definition that. It seems to me, contains many good points, Is ns
follows: vsalcsmanship Is tho science of putting Into each day’s work honesty
in speech, loyalty to employer, the hustle of modem civilisation, of watching
your weak points, of strengthening them, of not only keeping yonr customers
but gaining new ones, of being at all times a gentleman.”
I will tax your patience with one more quotation, and this one, to my mind,
is as true and good as It Is terse: "Salesmanship is ability to make sales; Its
attributes are health, honesty, courtesy, tact, resource, reserve power, facility
of expression, a firm and unspeakable confidence In one’s self, a thorough
knowledge of nnd confidence In the good, one is selling.”
Certainly, none of us will deny tbnt a good salesman must know bis goods
SO well and have such confidence In th*n that he can convince the merchant
that he needs the goods; then be must enthuse him In such a way that, after
chaw them, he Jilll push ttws-

A Wife’s Allowance.
Is it desirable that wives cnould
•njoy a* flx«d monetary allowance for
their own disposal for dress and such
personal expenses as aro continually
arising? The question is put forward
tn the pages of a leading authority on
matters of feminine interest, and is
hhswered from vartous points of view.
Thus, a business woman urges that ft
man shoul not give him wife unlimit
ed credit at shops, and then be indig
nant if her expenditure is large. On
the other hand, says this lady, on
allowance spurs on a woman to live
within her means, and teaches her
the value of money. A lawyer lays
down the maxim that a man owes it
to the girl he marries to keep her
free from financial worries. There
are those husbands who admit that
they ero only glad to hand over the
larger pait, if not the whole, indeed,
of tho-lr incomo to careful and man
aging vrivetf, leaving them to arrange
tho scale of household outlay, and
taking what they regard as necessary
for their own ahd thd children's
flrecs.—Londoh Telegraph.
City Residents Near-Sighted.
- “The race is growing near-sighted;
owing to city life and the conditions
of our civilization/’ said Frederick P.
Simmons, examining eye specialist,
while addressing tho members of the
New England Association of Optic
ians.
“Our visual range is confined to
near objects for tho greater part of
the day,” said he, “and this keeps the
eyes turned in. An object twenty feet
Away will make the eyeballs parallel.
“Anything loss wll turn them in,
and people Who spend hours in offices
and crowded flats necessarily have
ft short range of vision, which over
works and weakens thd interior mus
cles close to the nasal cavity.
“The exterior muscles not being so
strained, are strong, and hence cause
th6 eyes fco turn out. Let a person
who is thus affected spent a week or
two in the country and his eyes be
come normal again, because he gets
greater range of vision. Savages are
