lake shipping built ten vessels of about

The feats of which the Japanese
rlckshawmen are capable are almost
Incredible. I remember some years
ago being driven ashore In a yacht In
the Inland sea during a typhoon. It
was far beyond the treaty limits which
then existed, and foreigners were not
allowed to travel outside those limits
without special passports. But the
Mayor of the nearest fishing village
was kindness Itself. He promised to
supply the best rlckshawmen which
the neighborhood could produce, so as
to take us to a railway station some
forty miles away. And he kept his
word, tor the distance was covered in
less than six hours, including a halt
for refreshments. Bach rickshaw was
drawn by two men, tandem wise, the
usual fashion when long distances
have to be covered. The leaders In
each went through the w’hote distance,
while the wheelers, so to speak, were
changed half way. The road wns over
a great part of the distance, little bet
ter than a mountain track, and It was
raining most of the time, hut there
was never a break ,ln our progress ex
cept to allow coolies to take off or put
on their clothes. They prefer running
in nothing but a loincloth, and do so
whenever they get safely beyond the
eyes of the police, who have orders
strictly to administer the law against
nudity.
The fare paid for this prolonged
journey was. If I remember rightly,
about three shillings for each rick
shaw, the extra shilling being a gra
tuity thrown in fof good service. I
know that it purchased so many bless
ings on my honorable head as cannot
yet be quite exhausted. And having
mude our farewells at the railway
station, the coolies started back

the total of lake commerce. There are
said to he 400 foreign stenmers which
could be sent here to take a hand In
the business.
To the thrifty Swedish vessel owner
and the hardy Norse seuman the pros
pect of taking a hand in the lake
trade Is alluring. Nowhere In tho
seven seas is there commerce to be
compared to It. From the days when
the Phoenicians, bound to Britain for
cargoes of tin. sailed the Mediterran
ean. thnt sea has been one of tho
neatest of marine highways, but
never has Its traffic appronched the
destiny of thnt which makes the great
American takes the most crowded of
the world’s waterways.
When the lake commerce Is repre
sented In figures the quantities seem
nlmost fabulous. In 1903, domestic
freight receipts at the lake ports were
nearly 57,000,000 tons. During that
year the freight carried through the
Fault Hte. Marie canals exceeded 34.-
000,000 tons. The magnitude of tho
commerce on the Great takes
striking tribute to what American en
terprise can accomplish In the
atlon of a merchant mnrlne when un
hampered by ruinous foreign compe
tition.
This “Swedish Invasion" has
brought the question of American
shipping home to the shipowners,
shipbuilders and seamen of Ontario
and Erin and Michigan and Superior,
who hnve long fancied themselves se
cure ngalnst foreign attack, while
foreign ships have, swept the ship
owners. shipbuilders and seamen of
the coasts out of American trade
the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Of all
the overseas commerce of the United
States, only about nine per cent. Is
now conveyed In American vessels.
American overseas tonnage has
shrunk from 2,496.000 in 1861 to 879.-
000 now, and not one new order for a
steamship for foreign trade has been
given since June, 1901, to an American
shipyard.
The story of the Lakes to which the
developments of the past season call
attention Is one of the interesting
they travel in rude bateaux fashioned
from wood out and sawn upon the
shores of the lakes. The Hudson Bay
Company were the pioneers
work of improving the natural water
ways connecting one lake with anoth
er. and there are still to be seen at "the
Soo" traces of the little canal con
structed by the company's men nearly
two centuries and n half ago. It was
nothing but a ditch two nnd one-half
feet deep, but it was an important to
the lake traffic of Its day ns are the
great locks through which pass, during
the season of navigation, the endlens
procession of the great ftteamahlps of
the present.
To the French belongs the distinc
tion of placing the flrst sailing vessel
upon the Great takes. The Chevalier
de la Salle built the Griffin at a point
near Buffalo in 1679, his purpose being
to use her in the establishment of
trading and trapping stations. The
little craft made one voyage but
her return, laden 'With valuable furs,
she was run ashore by the crew who
thought to appropriate the cargo tote
who themselves fell victim* to the In
dlans. It was not Until a century.and
n half later that the lake commerce
commenced to assume considerable
proport Ions, but with the settlement
of the Middle Weftf the growth of the
trade became steady and rapid until
It has today nssumed proportions
which astonish the world.
The men who have built up the
lake commerce have created types of
marine architecture especially adapted
to Its needs. Years ago. those strange
looking craft, the ,whnle-bnck steam
era, astonished the maritime world.
They proved successful u* carriers,
although the type is now being a ban
doned in favor of such high-sided
monsters as thn steamer Augustus 11.
Wolvln, which holds the record for the
largest cargo ever carried on tho
Great takes, 12.289 net tons of Iron
ore having been stored In her caps
clous holds. Tho some spirit of
terprlse which created the vuat fleet
of lake shipping was applied to the
Invention of methods for handling
cargoes In the shortest possible time,
and nowhere In the 'world hove nppli
nnces for loading.nnd discharging ves
sels been brought to such n state of
perfection. Thero are the great ore
docks At Duluth from which the ore
pours In torrents Into the holds of the
waiting vessels.
There are such means for handling
coal as the 100.000-ton storage plant at
West Superior, Wisconsin, where the
coal is piled In hills many feet In height
nnd then tnken to the vessels by auto
matic conveyers. Of a more >nmllhi
type of commercial utility are the huge
grain elevators. Private enterprlne
created ships and port facilities, hut
the monster vessels would not have
been possible and the giant loading ap
pllances would have lieen .unecessury
had not the government lent Its as
sistance by the construction of rosily
public works such as the canal at
Sault Hte. Marie.
As a result of these modern methods
of vessel construction and freight
handling, the cost of transportation
has been reduced until to cabry a bush
el of whent 1,000 miles costs but a cent
nnd a half. At the same time wages
have been kept up to the American
standard. Foreign vessels would share
In the rarilltleM for doing the business,
and they would bring the American
ships Into competition with,a greatly
lower scale of wages and standard
living.

Several years ago I was afflicted with
what tbe doctors called Sciatic Rheuma
tism, or Lumbago, suffering the moat in
tense agony at times, and being confined
to my bed about a year, although four of
the best physicians (one of whom was my
father) attended me during my illness.
Thev could give me only temporary relief, and I think they
tried about all the remedies known to medical science, do-in#
me with strong medicine until my stomach got into such a
condition that I could digest nothing, and neither myself nor
my frierds had any hope of my recovery. I was persuaded
j to try S. 8. S., and before finishing the first bottle I found
I that I had the right remedy. I continued to take it until it
j cured me jxrfectlj. This was about nine years ago, and I
have been in splendid health ever since.

Fiery liniments, drawing plasters and penetrating oils never cored a case of Rheumatism; liecatiit is not
a local or skin disease, but a disease of tbe blood caused by a sour, acid condition of that vital fluid. The kidneys
and bowels get weak, the liver torpid, and tbe poisonous accumulations that should pass off through tbe usual
channels of nature are absorbed by the blood and distributer! into the musclea, joints and nervea.tbrough the circu
lation, producing inflammation and a welling of these parts, excitement of tbe nerves and other painful and disa
greeable symptoms of the disease. Rheumatism sufferers look with dread upon tbe winter season with its damp,
cold, changing weather, for the flrst slight exposute is liable to bring on an attack, and thesbarp, cult in;; pain# and
feverish, swollen joints and muscles make life nUerable with almost unbearable torture. Local applii at">n:i will
often give relief for a little while, but can do no permanent good, because the

Education, in New York World,
reader of our present course of
study would be led to think that pupils
today, In order to be able to do nil
that Is there laid down. ar4 far In ad-
ance of those of a decade- or two ago,
and that public school graduates of
former days could bear no comparison
with those of the present time.
But what are the real facts of the
case? Business men who employ our
graduates tell us that they are sadly
lacking In the simplest nnd most com
monplace things, that their knowledge
superficial and Inaccurate, that they
lack the perseverance and application
which habits of thoroughness nnd con
centration would foster. Why Is this?
Our system, aiming to do too many
things, must necessarily fall In their
accomplishment. None but the most
capable pupils can do all the work laid
down. The large majority, thus accus
tomed to falling far short of the stand
ard. become Indifferent or discour
aged. For Instend of repenting a
term’s work nnd doing It well, they
are promoted to make room for others.
In time all attempts to do the required
work properly become utterly hopeless
—yet the child must go on.
Trying to do too many things, at
tempting the Impossible so that noth
ing can he: really thoroughly cr well
done, will be sure to have 111 effects
moral sense, too. In many cases
the wrong thus done to individuals can
never he repaired. >»re we not creat
ing a race of mental dyspeptics, super
ficial In character? Why are children
not permitted to remain at the ele
mentary work until they have thor
oughly mastered It before being ad
vanced to higher grades? 1 tat us have
more elementary classes If need he,
The most sanguine, the most en
thusiastic advocates of the’ radical
changes made In the curriculum within
recent years admit thnt the present
course of study Is to crowded. Why
ut out the non-essentials nnd give
•hlld an opportunity to acquire a
more thorough knowledge of the essen
tials. A step Im being tnken In this
direction, hut nothing short of a com
plete change will remedy the evil.
Education shmilld give pupils the
working tools, the ability for future
self-help. If our schools do not give
this they full In their purpose. If the
hlld finds himself advanced to the up
per grades without being able oven to
add. subtract, multiply nnd divide with
rapidity nnd accuracy and to rend
fluently and comprehensively, when nnd
where will he make up the deficiency?
But this Is quite n common occurrence.
Students of high grades blunder In the
simplest figuring, spell poorly and fall
to fake In the meaning of what they
read, so that they are ns a rule unable
to obtain Information from the printed
page by their own efforts.
Moreover, they not only lark thor
ough mental (raining, but the resets
attained In the many mnnuuMrulning
subjects crowded Into tho curriculum
are Insufficient to serve them for any
practical purpose. Special schools for
those desiring a technical training
would give students a thoroughly
practical education along the special
lines ncc led by concentrating atten
tion on those branches which they
might elect. Such a course should not
and need not prevent a thorough know
ledge of the elements In the ordinary
branches of learning, a complete foun
dation for a solid structure. The mind
carefully trained from the start will
expand and grow wise by Its own ef
fort. while the superficial smattering of
many things now gained Is soon wholly
lost, tat us seek Id create In the pu
pil a love for knowledge and the de
sire for Its acquisition. Our efforts
to crowd In too many facts do but
weaken mental power.
The most successful business meh
nnd great men of affairs tell us that
it Is cartful attention to little things,
to the details, that firings the sure re
ward. We are told thnt the talent of
success Is nothing more than doing
what we can do well, nnd doing that
for the sake of doing well nnd of doing
right for Its own sake. Does our pres
ent educational system aim to develop
traits? Could anything tend more
surely to ignorance and to suppress
these sound moral principles thnn to
hnve the young* child making vain ef
forts to do the Impossible, attempting
to do too many things, and ns a result
doing nothing well, nothing thor
oughly?
The young man or woman mastering
nothing well enough to apply It In
gaining new knowledge Is at a great
disadvantages will be easily and quick

rise above adverse circumstances, tat
us. In the education of our youth, aim
to give Just what will fit them for
their future field of work. Their we|
fare and happiness will depend large
ly on their success In lift, and this In
turn depends upon whether they are
thoroughly fitted to fill their place In
the world.
To decide what will thus best fit
each for his place In life Is the prob
lem we have to solve. Ho long as we
are not considering the needs of the
great masses that look forward to be.
Ing wage-earners at the earliest pos
sible moment, we are far from Its
solution. Not until we conclude that
each should receive a special train
ing fitting him for his particular needs
In addition to the desire and ability
for further study and self-help, not
until educational advantages are of
fered with a view to supplying the
needs of all, have we come to a realisa
tion of our obligations.
The establishment of special schools,
of trade schools, will be a step In the
right direction. A fair trial would ad
vocate the need of these far better
than words can. They would be of
greater benefit to the Individuals and
I*crhaps of eevn greater service to the
community. In these schools some of
our many supervision might become
teachers In their special lines. With
pupils devoting more time to this spe
cial work and taking a greater Interest
in it, the task would be more thankful
and pleasant for both pupil and
teacher. The Interest would quickly
grow, for more thorough knowledge in
any department of learning and greater
skill In any craft tend to create a
deeper Interest, and there Is no saying
how far-raaebing for good the effects

8omo Old Delectable Dishes That Aro
Not Mado Any More.
From the Houston Po*t.
Tho school board of Chicago Is con
ducting seven free public kitchens,
nnd It Is said that more than a thou
sand women nre learning to conk In
these schools. Thirty nationalities
arc represented among the pupils,
China among them. Ten Chinese are
taking lossons. Factory girls contem
plating matrimony are learning how
to cook nnd being trained to be house
wives. Housewives nre learning to
cook thnt they may know how to
economise without causing the family
table to suffer.
The aim of the teacher Is to train
the students to mnnage simple houses
In a capable manner. And while this
array of working women and house
wives Is working, another army Is
sewing. The course In sewing Includes
dressmaking apw millinery, hand sew
ing, the use nnd enre of the sewing
machine, and exercises In patten-
making. tilting, and designing.
In our Judgment, the rooking school
Is .a most valuable adjust to a sys
tem of public education. Ft has been
tested, nnd has proved Its efficiency
In the Fort Worth high schools.
It would appear that the art of cook
ing has fallen Into bad ways In Texas,
and common experience proves thnt
other stntes nre little If any better
off than wo are. Throughout the
Houth, which used to be famous for
Its culllnary excellence, the capable
cook Is becoming quite rare. In ante
bellum times the daughter of the
aristocracy were taught all branches
of household economy, bemuse It wns
deemed essential to train the girl to
become the mistress of a household.
Hhe In turn taught her house slaves
to capably perform domestic duties.
Hut the Houthern ante-bellum
cook has long since disappeared.
Wealthy people regard It no longer
household economy. The art of cook
ing has been displaced by the more
polite art. A good negro cook Is rare
Indeed, and the servants we get from
Europe are far short of our desires.
Whst has become of the old-fash
