f Age Tends Toward Materialism By United States Attorney Oeneral George IV. Wickersham Y HE.mere students of technical knowledge have not taken quite the rank in American social and political life com mensurate with their accomplishments in their own pro fessions. I ascribe this to the fact that their training has been too purely technical; they have specialized too early in life aud^without that broad and catholic foundation upon which special training should be based. All educated men concede the full value of the technical education, but the defects in a merely technical education also are easily perceived. The requirements of a civilization that is not purely materialistic have not dispensed with art and literature, nor ignored the tremendous importance of the imagination-the value of poetry and song in inspiring that impulse which achieves the greatest practical results; nor can it minimize the Importance of the study of the .past history of man, for contrast and example, for warning and for emulation. In an age of great teclmical and industrial development the tendency is toward pure materialism- the exalting of practical accomplishment, in the proauction cf wealth over the less tangible result of the study of history, lit erature and art, and so tr ere is cn the part/of many men who have attained success in business life or in the practical sciences a disposition to extol such accomplishments above all others and to undervalue or not at all to realize the value of ment;.1 culture in any other than purely technical lines. It ls to be noted, however, that the greatest discoveries in science followed the great' intellectual awakening which is known as the Renaissance. Al most without exception, the great men whose names have been written large In the history of science were men of broad culture, often almost as proficient in literature and art as ir.1 science. The man who goes out into the world without the knowledge of the human ities is therefore lacking In a mental equipment which leaves him subject to a serious handicap. General cultivation today ls so widespread that the man who enters upon his Hf?; work with a mere technical training, when he comes in competition with men of broad culture, is at a decided disadvantage. A combination of the ideals of purely technical study with broad, university culture offers to students the opportunity of becoming not merely engineers, but educated gentlemen. College Girls Less Fond of Matrimony And Fewer Children to a Mother . Ey President G. Stanley Hall of Clark ^^%M?VW{/W University <Wc>*^MVMM?) N Smith College during the ten years which ended with the class of 1888, there were 370 graduates, of whom, by the spring of ?903, 158 were married, being 42.70 per cent. The secretaries of these classes report the number of children born through these marriages to have been 315, or an aver age of 2.08 to a mother. That is 1.99 to a married mem ber, sevan married members of the classes having no chil dren. Of these children 26 died. ? Of the next ten Smith classes ending with and including the class of 1898 there were 1,130 graduates, of whom 331 were married; this being about 29 per- cent, of the graduates. Of these classes six report the number of children born, which is 161 or?1.22 to a mother, or .77 to a married member, some married members having no children. Of these children, nine died. This shows that compfiring the graduates of the two decades, there was a falling off of about 14 percent in the marriages and that fewer children were born to a mother. Other figures show that fewer than 27 per cent of the total number of graduates from Smith and Radcliffe, up to 1907, were married. Of 3000 graduates from Smith College and 800 graduates from Radcliffe College fewer than 16 par cent, are pursuing occupations in the business world. From the "total of 3,800 graduates from, both Smith College and Radcliffe College, thirty-three have become doctors, seven lawyers, two preachers, twenty-two nurses, fifty have entered literary pursuits, 100 have become phii anthorpists, eighty-five library workers, five actresses, and two architects.' Eight hundred Smith graduates, or about ?7 per cent/ are teachers, tue name number are married, and 900, or 30 per cent, have no occupations. Of the Radcliffe graduatea, 44 per cent have become teachers, 22 per cent are; married and 19 per cent have no occupations.. fcldlM -*. *"- il? A. The Church in Danger By the Reo. Julian C. Jaynes befa-e the American Unitarian Association I^MI^MI^?^} t -er ? t i 1 t N recent years, the Church has been summoned to the bar of judgment From all quarters of public opinion various charges have been made. The poor say that it is the sa cred toy of the rich, and the rich say that it is pandering to the socialistic notions of the poor. Some declare that it is too conservative, others that it is too radical, some too J exclusively sentimental, others too inclusively practical. ?vlO>0<t>?? The ct;urcn? smarting under this criticism, part of which is true, has been unduly alarmed, and is tempted to aban don its real mission in the world. It is In danger of beirg misled by specious programs of agitators and doctrinaires and of transforming itself into a civic forum, a therapeutic hospital, a dispensary of charities, an institution for vis ible social betterment The 'Church stands as the specific antidote of materialism, safeguards the reverences of life, cares for the moral visions-of the soul and pronounces every Godward aspiration of heart and mind as the noblest expressions of manhood and womanhood. Its legitimate work is not to supply new social furniture, but to make men righteously efficient, and then to trust to them to go out with wisdom and consecration to improve in their own way the social conditions of life. ' * Hot Hot Weather Diet By 2& C. Mc Wane I J. ..>..?_????*..? ?. ? W 'A' 'V 'W w M. 9 .. .. J.?? ?... ?.JL WVTYTTV Alili"iliiftitiit J. Jf . ? -I ' ? ? ? . ..... . J, ? N law ij-norance is no excuse for crime, and on this theory I make bold to assert that deaths from heat prostration are nothing short of criminal. Every hot wave brings forth a flood of advice on "how to keep cool," but people go on dying ty the scores, because seldom, if ever, is there any thing cf real value in such advice. An eminent physician will come out with the sage suggestion to "dress lightly and avoid greasy foods"-as though any sane man would wear flannels and feast on fat pork in July and August. It IR easy enough to tell us what not to eat, but eating has become such a fixed habit with most of us that we insist on our three meals a day, with a few drinks of something thrown in between, regardless of the temperature. This being the case, will not some "prophet" arise who can tell us what .we should eat and drink, the dress will take care of itself. I have a little knowledge along this line myself, which I have put. into practice for several yea*, s past with most excellent results, but I am only a "layman," and, therefore, not entitled to teach. Is it possible that the medical schools teach nothing of the chemistry of food, or that our physic! ins are Ignorant of our bodily needs In hot weather? If they know, why do tl ey not tell us, and not force us to go outside of the profession for such kno vledge, as I had to do? Exercise fer the Eyes. An oculist says that f hort distance looking is responsible for much of the trouble women have with their eyes. He advises them to go to a high roof and look dowr, as that will do in part what a long range of vis ion in the distance cf the plains might be able to effect.

The loan is to be iccreased from $27.500,000 to $20, 000,000, and American bankers are to get one-fourth, the three-fourths seing to British, French and German interests. Americans are to have equal op portunities to supply material for both the Sse-Chuen and the Canton lines and brnndhes; they will appoint subordinate engineers, and they will have also one-half of all future loans of the Sze-Chuen Railroad and its branches, with corresponding advan tages.

OLD AMERH Industrialism is Destroying Ferrerc Paris.-Concluding a series of im pressions of America which he gained during a recent visit to that country, Guglielmo Ferrero, the Italian his torian, finds that the anti-plutocratic movement is essentially a struggle between the old traditions of the Puritan democracy and civilization, gold, luxury and pleasure-a repetion under modern and more complicated forms of the struggle which rent Rome for three centuries.

This settlement prevents actual American investment in the aban doned Hankow-Canton line, but it is the opinion here that'American capi tal has been placed on an equality. Washington, D.C.-The news from Pekin that America would have a share in the Hankow railway loan was received here with intense satis faction. The settlement of the issue is a victory for the State Department, which has insisted on the fulfilment of the promise made to Minister Con ger in 1904. The State Department has fouerht successfully the alignment of the European group which sought to exclude it. Its victory, department officials say, augurs well for the fut ure, as the dispatches from Pekin in dicate that American capital will be placed on an equality with foreign money in the empire. The result is another step in the consummation of the policy of the open door In China, so steadfastly in sisted on by the American State De partment. PORATION TAX. Washington, D. c., Told ol it Impending:. j ls in reality not a tax upon the privil ege of doing business, whatever it may have been meant to have it be, I but is, according to tr-*-, fairest con struction, a tax pn pro??.s. The officers of the internal revenue bureau have collected evidence from all over the country as to the number of corporations, and conferences were held aij to the methods to be pursued in .colreeling the tax. Np definite plan will be formulated until the new commissioner of internal revenue takes office. The Congress ' appro priated $150,000 to assist the Treas ury Department in organizing a spe [ cial force for the collection of the tax. The officers of the Internal revenue bureau express the opinion that this sum will not be sufficient, and the next session cf Congress will be asked to make an additional appropriation. The tax is to be paid on the earnings o? corporations for the calendar year ending December 31. Returns must be made before March 1, 19.10, and paj-ment be made before June 30, or heavy penalties will be imposed. >GS FOR THEM. ?S Sill ow a Strong; Prejudice igfn Porkers, Some 5000 hogs were' brought over on a trial shipment and placed on sale at the shops for the first time at twenty-five per. cent, below the prices charged for other imported bogs.

Signor Ferrero believes that while the anti-plutocratic movement is a triumph in some directions, it is des tined to fall in others. "Industrialism," say3 Signor Fer rero in concluding, "seems to be de stroying a part of the old-time Amer ica of Franklin and Washington and creating an America less American than that of the past.

Mint at Denver Bobbed-Employe Allowed Gold to Splash on Clothes, Los Angeles, Cal.-Charged with one of the rarest offenses ever com mitted against the Government-that of abstracting gold from a mint Charles W. Dakin, an employe of the mint at Denver, Col., was arrested here. Dakin is said to have sold gold to local dealers in small lots. The employe allowed the melted product to splash on to his clothing while at work in the mint, and then scraped it off and kept it for his own use and profit. Around thc Bases.

Few orchardists realize the amount of these mineral matters tak en from the soil to produce a great tree, or in the production of apples. A good crop of apples will remove from thc soil three times as much potash as a crop of wheat on the same soil, and while in the decaying vegetable matter we can get what ni trogen the trees need the supply of the mineral matters must be kept up if we expect to get large and perfect crops of fruit.-Farm Progress. GROW BETTER FRUIT. One-third of our fruit is flt only for the swill pail, because we neglect to feed the trees, work the soil and protect from insect pests. The first thing to do is to stop the incoming of apples selling to-day for ten cents each, by making more crit ical selection of stock going to mar ket. Very few take pains to grow good fruit. It is not a question of "can" but "will." Instead of a few firsts and many seconds, make it the reverse. We have two broods of inse-ts in Massa chusetts against five in Utah, yet they produce better-looking, more uniform fruit, because they spray five to seven times. The end tests of our packages are not the true measure. Make the mid dle as good and the market will re spond. Grow more fruit, but ?row better fruit.-Massachusetts Station, USE HAY CAPS. An Eastern farmer,' who has used hay caps for several years, says he has saved the cost of the caps in i. single season, while they are good for a score of years, if properly handled. He uses heavy unbleached cotton cloth forty-five inches wide, and cut in squares. This cloth may be made water proof and durable by dipring It into good raw linseed oil, or pt frit lug it with a mixture of three pints of this oil with one ounce-sugar of lead and four ounces white resin; heat together in an iron kettle and apply not with a wide brush. The caps are held in place by pins a foot long passed through loops in the cor ners of the cloth, into the shock of oats or hay. Among the advantages' of the hay caps are that they allow you to cut without reference to the weather, and save the crop in good condition, no matter how long the rains continue. One farmer testifies that hi3 hay, protected by the caps, was worth on the average one or two dollars a ton more than his neighbor's hay that was not capped. Others say that they often pay more than their cost in one season, by the increased value of the protected hay over what lt would have been worth if left to take the rain.-Indiana Farmer. TREES FOR BARREN SPOTS. Ailanthus trees are not very at tractive in appearance, especially when young; and many of them, though not all, give off an unpleasant odor during their time of bloom, yet they possess advantages that more than counterbalance their poor quali ties. In the first* place, they grow very rapidly on the poorest soil and clso under adverse conditions. They spread fast, and in a comparatively short time there will be a good growth of wood on a piece of ground planted to ailanthus, or where they have grown up naturally, that might be useless otherwise. They will grow among other and larger trees, as they can get along with little sunlight. In this case, however, they should be cut out at Intervals so that they will not, through their rapid growth, crowd the better trees about them or hold them back in development. In this rapidity of growth they bear a close resemblance to weeds,, and seem to take the place among trees that weeds do among smaller plants. Ailanthus trees are easily cut, sawed and split, and while the wood from them will not burn as long as most woods, it answers fairly well in this respect, but does best when used with other woods, such as locust, hickory, chestnut, etc. Posts for light fencing, such as wire or lath, are easily and quickly made from ailanthus. These posts, however, should be dipped in boiling tar when green, or treated with some prepara tion like carbolineum before being set in the ground; otherwise they will rot more quickly than if made from harder woods. No insects trouble or harm the foli age of ailanthus trees. In fact, in sects seem to have a great aversion even to the wood itself. It therefore can be used to advantage in perches for chicken houses, and if boards from the wood could be readily ob tained it would make a fine lining for a poultry house. The chief value, however, of ailanthus trees is for firewood. With the continued de crease of the forests, wood is becom ing more and more valuable. Ailan thus trees growing so rapidly in poor soil, under adverse conditions and in shady localities, act as a substi tute for other woods, and thus a good gain can be made through them in retaining the better woodland on the farm.-Indianapolis News.

(By A. Jay Cook.) Ketchel, the hcCder of the mi'5 weight championship of the w id, is to defend that title against Sam Langford In a ten-round bout at New York the first week of September. Ketchel should beat him. But he must be in condition, and it's no easy matter guessing on the physical con dition of the middleweight champion. It is hardly probable though, that he will take a chance of not being in condition' and that is v/hy I look for i victory. Despite the extravagant praise that has been given to him at various times, Ketchel is s till! a pugi list of rundot-estimated ability. In the four years of fighting that served as a nrelude to his initial battle with Joe Thomas he made the amazing rec 3rd of 35 clean knockouts in 38 fights, and when he got In first-class com pany he kept up his good work. He put Joe Thomas to sleep in 32 rounds. He ,nit Mike "Twin" Sullivan out in i punch. " He finished Jack "Twin" Sullivan in 20 sessions. He knocked Hugo Reilly in three rounds and caine back with the put-out of Joe Thomas in two rounds. Then he went the pace and was knocked out by Papke, but came right back and put Billy to ?leep in ll rounds. He stopped Jack O'Brien in four sessions, and then ?von a 25-round decision over Papke in one of his poor, away-below-the iverage fights. Langford is overes :inated. There is a record of his hav ing only 25 . knockouts in 80 fights, spread over a period of seven years, [f there is anything in that record :hat would make Ketchel's chances ook bad, it has yet to come out. If Ketchel does knock the negro out he viii go into the ring with Johnson an ;ven money chance and Jeffries will :emporarily be dost sight of. Ketchel ind Johnson are scheduled to settle :heir differences as to the heavy veight championship sometime in Oc ;ober. It will be a surprise to me if ;he white man does not beat the jlack. Of course there is the weight, leight and reach advantage of the ne zxo to contend with. But with all :his Ketchel. if he beais Langford, mould beat Johnson. Johnson left for the coast of Cali fornia last Sunday, satisfied he had lone aid that he could to make the natch with Jeffries a certainty. Sam berger, who acted for Jeffries in the ?igning of the tenative articles, pre )ared to return Fastward. He In. listed, that Jeff was sincere In wish ng to meet the negro, and that there surely would be hostilities within the .equired eight months. Berger ex jlained that he had spent $32 in cab ing the details to Jeffries and that ie had no doubt the ex-boilermaker vould approve of them. The articles ire good as far as they co and reflect he true disposition of the principals. rohnson's willingness to make a $5,000 ide bet and to have the purse sp?lt ?0 and 40. 75 and 25, or winner take ill. at Jeffries option, makes one real y believe that the negro thinks he can teat Jeffries. This struggle for the heavyweight ?hampionship is really a three horse ace, with Ketchel, Johnson and .left ies as the contenders. But if Ket :hel beats Johnson in October, there viii, of course be no Jeffries contest, inless Jeff wants the championship, if which I have my doubts. But if ie does he will! beat Ketchel, of that I .m positive. ?ANS WATCHING GIANTS AND BOSTON AMERICANS.

LEWIS-BURKE BATTLE WAS SENSATIONAL GO New York.-It was the general opin ion among sporting men that the contest between Willie Lewis and Sailor Burke at the Fairmont A C. August. 13, was one cf the most sen sational seen here lin many years. W'le lewis won fairly and by a .connical knockout, he played in great luck. It was not until Charles Har vey, Jem Driscolls manager, ordered Lewis to cut out. the "trading of swings" and use a short left uppercut or hook to the jaw : that Burke's chances for winning disappeared. In the first three rounds the slug ging was terrific. A moment before the third round ended both men. swung right-handers simultaneously and fell together in a corner. Lewis'" luck was in evidence right there, l!or as he fell backward his shoulders hit the ring ropes. If this mixup had taken place ne?r the middle of the ring Lewis' head would probably have hit the floor with a crack and he might have been seriously injured. As a matter of fact, Lewis was so close to defeat at that period of the fight that when he staggered to his corner his seconds were clearly rattled. It was then that Harvey-took a hand in the proceedings. "If you keep on exchanging swings Burke will knock your head off. He has got a terrific wallop, and is after your jaw. Take your time, stall a blt and wait for a chance to hook your left to his chin." Lewis obeyed Harvey's instructions to the letter. Lewis, o'.ear-headed and as foxy as they make 'em, allow ed the sailor to bore in again. The round was half over when Lewis sud denly got the opsuing he was looking for. His left shot up to Burke's jaw after going about six inches; and the blow had so much steam that the tar was groggy. Lewis rushed in like a bulldog then ancj literacy belted Burke to the floor, where he remained 10 seconds. Burke has borne the name of quit ter for j-ears. His unwillingness to stand up and take punishment from Jack Johnson at Bridgeport several years ago convinced ring followers that he lacked gameness. But if Burke had shown the courage ot a Ketchel it is believed that Lewis would have experienced greater dif* Acuity in Handing the bacon.
