tumorous JJ rpartmrnt. Their Element. Capt. Charles Gerolomich. the millionaire skipper of the Martha Washington, said one night In the si earner's saloon, as he ate some ver> rich and fragrant turtle soup: "This soup reminds me of something that happened to my old friend Capt Jeremiah Gotschalk of the brig Scud. "Capt. Gotschalk and his first mate were doing London. On a fine summer morning they walked in the Row and saw the fashionables horse backing; they strolled In Piccadilly, where all the great clubs are: they looked over the guns and men's things In Bond street: and lastly they got hungry. "For lunch they entered a smartlooking restaurant. A maid in a white cap took their order. The things In the little restaurant were rather cheaper than they had expected. Still, that was all the better, provided the quality was good. "In a l'ew minutes the maid put two plates of thin, transparent fluid with a somewhat salty taste before Capt. Gotschalk and his mate. "The mate tasted it and coughed. "Put a name to this. Cap'n, will ye?' said he. "Capt. Gotschalk tried a spoonful, and then beckoned the waitress to him. " 'What might ye call this here, my lass?' says he, lifting up a spoonful and letting it fall back into the plate. " 'Soup, sir,' says the waitress'. "Soop!' cried Capt. Gotschalk. " 'Yes, ignorance,' the waitress answered, flushing up. "The captain turned to the mate. "Soop!" he said. 'Soop! By tar, Bill, Just think o' that! Here's you and me been sailln' on soop all our lives, and never knowed it till now.'"? Washington Star. The Fax Waiter.?Ban Johnson, president of the American league, tells an amusing story of his experience In a New York restaurant. "While attending a conference In the east," relates the baseball magnate. "I was presented with a handsome Boston terrier. That night, accompanied by my four-footed friend, I visited an uptown cafe. Presently a waiter, formerly from Chicago, accosted me and announced: " 'No dogs allowed. You'll have to take him out.' " 'Come, come, old man,' I replied, 'he's offending no one.* " 'Can't serve people who have dogs, I tell you.' continued the waiter wrathfully. collecting an armful of dishes from an adjoining table. 'You'll have to get out.' "Just then a friend of mine dropped in and said in a cherry tone: 'Well, well, Ban, glad to see you! How's baseball?' Before I had time to reply I was startled by the crashing of dishes. Turning quickly I beheld the waiter rushing toward me with outstretched hands. "'Hel-lo, Ban!' he exclaimed cordially, slapping me on the back. 'Didn't know you! Wat'll ye have??wat'll the dog have?' "?Lippincott's. The Specialist.?There are evident advantages in specializing. It is pleasant to know one thing thoroughly, If it is nothing more vital than the Greek enclitic or the wing of a moth. Even as a woman may have an ambition to be quoted as "an authority." Still, experts have their limitations, if one may judge by their diverse conclusions on the witness stand. Josh Billings's wisdom remains true, and there is little virtue in knowing "things that ain't so." When all is said, life is many-sided, and there is a call for some per SUII2> YVIJU MT 11 lllUd, U3 11U111 II1C11 natural point of view.

"That tale is a bearded chestnut. I want something new: but it must be a story without an end." The story teller departed. Several hours later he returned and was admitted to the royal presence. "Oh. most mighty monarch." he began, "I have found one who can regale you with a story which is devoid of conclusion." "Produce!" cried the king. The story teller passed from the throne room, but soon returned. He was accompanied by a woman. "Your highness, this lady will tell a story which has no end." announced the story teller. Then the woman told the king everything she was going to purchase when her husband had his salary raised.

IF YOU HAVE A BOY. iome Educational Problems For Parents to Consider. In American secondary schools in he year 1906 there were 925,000 pu>lls?742,000 at the public high ichools and only 183,000 at private tchools of all kinds, says a writer In Llppincott's. Many thousands of hese latter were In the preparatory iepartments of the numerous small ;olleges all over the land, but largely n the south and west. The majority vere in the private schools in the arge cities. The Catholic church is nore energetic than any other delomination in the private education )f the children of Its membership. In superior education (colleges and iniversities nominally for academic study, but largely given over to techlical instruction) there were 51,000 n state institutions and 97,000 at >ther than state institutions. In proesslonal schools (law, medicine, the>logy, engineering and the like, usuilly in connection with an academic nstitution) there were 11.000 stulents at state and 1,000 at other than state institutions. There were also 0,000 pupils at normal schools (all * 1 A AAA ?-\ 4Vt/\?vi I fit o 4 a en rvr\At?tofl ) Ul IV.VUU Ui IIICIU an oiaic ouppunwu nstitutions), and there were about 100,000 attending art. music, business, ndustrial and trade schools, includng those at Indian schools and those or the deaf, blind and other unforunates. It appears from these official flgires that about 9 per cent of the irimary scholars, under 20 per cent >f the secondary scholars and over 70 )er cent of university and professionil students are educated at private 'ost. Private education of children n primary schools is generally secured through preference, while supelor education at private expense is a lecessity except in those states where lubllc universities are established, ind at the latter only tuition is free, ind other expenses about the same as it endowed institutions. At many ion-state colleges and universities icholarships and other student aid ire provided, so that for many the sxpense is no greater that at the state nstitutions. Secondary education is in a dlffer>nt category from either of the other iranches. In most rural districts it nust be at private cost, and while in 'ities it is usually optional, instrucion at private cost in often desirable f the expense can be afforded. This ;ort of education comes at the crucial ime in a boy's life?a time when jregnant idealism is his chief mental iharacteristlc, "and when he needs the nost patient, tender and Intelligent rare. Yet for some unknown reason his is the period when boys are likely o receive the least attention from heir parents. NEW ELECTRICAL ARTILLERY. "errible Gun That Throws Heavy Projectile More Than 300 Miles. Col. F. X. Maude, foremost military vriter of England, has been dlscussng the new electric gun which, it is 'laimed, will throw a projectile 300 niles, or even further. In part he says: "If this new gun, invented by a :ertain Mr. Simpson, of whom I never leard before as being associated with funnery, has the power and range vhich he claims for it, nations may as veil cease building vessels of war. The inventor of the weapon states hat it carried 300 miles, and that it las been examined and tested by half i dozen experts. Should it be proved hat this terrible weapon would be ible to throw shells, not merely from Prance, but from Holland and Gernany into Great Britain, the advanages of the navy would be almost lestroyed. Mr. Simpson said: "Yes, there is no mistake about it, ny weapon?it is quite a misnomer to 'all it a gun?will throw a shell quite 100 miles. In fact, it will throw very nuch further even than that." 1X'U"4 i.x..a?pa/I tVio nno in chftttlnP' \> I lei I 1111 JJI XZaaiSXA Uic WI?V V?*MVV...0 vith Mr. Simpson was the striking .'entrust between the man and his veapon. Here was tiie ordnance stat d to be the most terrible engine of varfare ever known, and here was he inventor, an elderly, peaceful man, vith Carlyle's portrait on his office vail. Surely Mr. Simpson was a man )f peace with no liking for war. "It is quite as easy for my weapon to iroject 50 shells of 500 pounds each jer minute as to throw 50 to 60 tounds each, and to drop shot at 100 niles distant as at 100 yards. In fact, he distance is practically no object, tgain, it makes no difference how ihots are thrown. A heavy one can ollow a light one and a long-distance >ne, or vice versa. Whatever the distance or projec tile, the weapon is quite easy of control, as easy as any gun at present in use. Its shots will be less expensive than those now fired and its cost will be cheaper than the existing artillery, while its life will be at least a hundred times longer than the best weapons now in use." "And when do you intend to make the next experiment?" "No, not experiment," Mr. Simpson interrupted in his mild fashion. "The whole thing is accomplished. In fact, the weapon is in existence and its powers of velocity have been ascertained upon the same basis as the velocity of other projectiles. At the present moment a body of distinguished men have the whole matter under consideration and are deciding what is best to be done."
