eyes. "This here," the observed with a

soap what makes ev'ry wash-day a kind
of glorified bean feast; the soap what
gits all the linen as white as snow and

"I beg your pardon," remarked the
grocer, courteously, "but it isn't the

yesterday for a half pound of both soap

"The cheese!" gasped the lady,
"That accounts for the other thing

SALARIES Of TEACHER.
Halted Mateo Leads la Liberality of
Kxpendllareo for Education.
Philadelphia Public. Ledger.
If the salaries paid to public school
teachers is to be accepted as the stand
ard of civilization and enlightenment,
the United States holds an enviable po
sition among the nations. There are
many school districts in the country
where the wages received by teachers
Are too low, but the average monthly
salary is large relative to salaries in
certain European countries, where the
standard of literacy among the masses
is high and where educational facilities
are supposed to be the best.
It appears from the report of the
Federal commissioner of education for
1901 that the average monthly salary in
the United States is (45 55 for male
and 139.17 for female teachers. In the
North Atlantic division, which includes
the New England and Middle States,
Khe average salary for males is $57.75;
females, f 41 66. These figures are ex
ceeded by the western division, where
the averages are 162 30 and (51.94. In
1901 the average monthly wage in
Pennsylvania were (44.14 and (38.23.
It forthcoming reports the Pennsyl
vania average will be higher, as the re
sult of the law passed in 1903 fixing
minimum salary of school teachers at
(35. Districts failing to comply with
the statue will loose the State sppropria
tion for the common schools. Massa
chusetts pays the most generous
monthly salary to male teachers,
(140.94; California to female teachers,
(65.81. The figures for New York did
not appear in the Federal report from
which the quotations are taken.
Comparisons with European condi
tions' are favorable to the United States.
From the report of an investigation of
school salaries in various European
countries, published in The Boston
Transcript, it appear that the male
class teachers in the United Kingdom
get an average yearly salary of (350.
Women In the time grade receive less
than (200. In Copenhagen the highest
yearly salary paid male teachers is
(350 and this after eight years' service.
Women receive a third less. The edu
cational Btandard of Pruisia is high,
but the average income of a school
teacher in the small towns is only (218
a year. In the large cities he receiver
on an average only (341. In Berlin a
school superintendent receives from
(789 to (925 and free lodgings. The
lowest salary paid other teachers in
Berlin is (315; the largest (550. The
teachers there are pensioned to the ex
tent of 75 per cent, of the last salary
received.
Saxony requires her young teachers'
to serve two years without pay, and the
highest salary paid is (180 a year.
First class teachers in Baden, in towns
having more than 10,000 inhabitants,
receive (2G0. In Alsace-Lorraine female
teachers cannot expect more than (160,
The minimum salary in France is (220.
Spain is a backward country in educa
tional matters. About 65 per cent, of
the population can neither read nor
write, though compulsory education
ttas introduced many years ago. Mad
rid grants teachers (400, but in villages
the sslary is only (100. It is declared
that at least CO njsr cent, of the Italians
are without the rudiments of educa
tion. In a country making such an
exhibit one may look for poorly paid
teachers. Even in the city schoojs of
Italy the average yearly salary is (160.
Sweden and Norway pay a minimum
wage of (60 a year to female and double
tbat sua? to male teachers. The high
est salary received by males is (800.

A father, talking to his careless
daughter, said : "I want to speak to

NO SPIRIT OP LOVE I" JAPAN.
And Vet the People are Happy With
a simple Sweet Happlaees That Is
Cnarsnlaa.
Eleanor Franklin In Leslie's Weekly.
The boys and girls, the young men
and young women, of Jspan do love
each other, I suppose, but one never
sees the slightest shadow of evidence to
prove it. The spirit of love doe not
dominate the national life as it does in
America and the countries of Europe.
Japan's poets do not sing of love ; her
story-writers tell no tale of love that
can thrill an Anglo-Saxon heart, and
her artist paint no pictures of love
that can reach the Anglo-Saxon under
standing. Now, considering all this,
how can there be such a thing as "a
good old summer-timg" in this land of
the sunrise. And yet there is, and it
is especially delightful in its way, too,
because the Japanese are a nation of
f eastern and picnickers, of nature- lovers
and world1 beautifiers, and if one can
only lose sight of the fact that every
where one goes the poor little women
toddle meekly along "behind the men,
who stalk pompously ahead as if they
owned the earth, one may almost enjoy
one's self.
Une never see a woman caressed in
Japan, not even with a glance ; one set
dom sees a baby fondled ; in fact, all
human tenderness, or expression of
human tenderness, is conspicuous by
it absence, and I believe that is the
one impassable great gulf that is fixed
between us and this people which is
endeavoring so earnestly to become one
of us. And yet the people are happy,
with a simple, sweet happiness that iB
charming. That is it. It is an atmos
phere tbat mildly charms, but never
thrills, the Western heart. All the na
tion's love is concentrated upon the
Emperor, and the highest note of the
national life is sounded in yamato-
damashi Japan spirit patriotism ; and
even this is beyond our ccmprt heoeion,
because it is empty of romance and un
satisfactory to us, who cannot separate
the interests of "fair women and brave
nicu even upon the battlefield.
Troable Brought About by Jfllaa
Abboil'a Recital.
Lenoir, Sept. 16. The trouble
caused by MiBS Abbott's letter misrep
resenting Hudson and Caldwell county
people resulted in a tragedy yesterday
in which one man was Jtilled and two
others wounded. It seems the man
Ballinger, where Miss Abbott boards,
has been taking issue for her and went
to Hickory last week where he has two
sons. They, with two other boys,
brought some guns up to Hudson and
passed two Lingles and a Bumgarner in
Lingle's apple orchard and the boys who
were drinking with their father, began
shooting at these three fellows and as
Ballinger had threatened to kill Lingle
the Lingle boys had pistols, but could
not sRoot at long range, and Martin got
between them in some way and got
shot with a rifle, by one of his own
party. As yet there has been no ar
rests. Mis Abbott has gone, but she
stayed too long and made matters worse
by coming back trying to explain.
It Is a deplorable condition of affairs
and yet a sad fact that an alleged un
truthful statement for personal gain
has caused one death and much suffer
ing, besides1 ill feeling.
Mis Abbott is an Ohio woman who
has been' conducting a school in Cald
well county. Recently she wrote a let
ter to her native State appealing for aid
to carry on her work, in which she
grossly misrepresented conditions in
Caldwell. The letter called forth much
adverse comment at the time it was
made public.
All Eyes oa the South.
The Railroad Record and Common Carrier,
Augast, 14.
With an enormous cotton crop ripen
ing, the largest fruit crop in its history
and prospects for a great yield of corn,
the South is reasonably sure of a pros
perous fall and winter. Twelve million
bales cf cotton is a conservative esti
mate at this writing. The price for
fan months isreally better than we
could expect.
reaches brought into Georgia alone
nearly three million dollars, and the
South' melon and vegetable have
netted two or three time as much.
The South cotton will give n naif a
billion dollar and there will be very
little corn to buy next winter.
In the West, corn prossAt are fine,
but wheat will be 20 per cent short. So
the West will barely hold it own.
In the East, the presidential cam
paign and a slow iron and steel market
are depressing general business.
Last winter the South 's cotton money
went a long way to avert a general
panic. Now it looks a if the South
will again furnish the money and the
prosperity for the nation.

m
A WAN'S WILL.
should He, Thoucb Very Wealthy, be
Permitted to Make It as He WIIU?
Philadelphia Press. . d)
The disposition made by will within
a week of two great fortunes, one the
largest in Philadelphia and the other
usually held to be one of the "ten larg
est in th j city, will inevitably raise
discussion as to the wide freedom al
lowed by statute and common law to a
testator.
The power to draw a will is neither a
constitutional nor a natural right. It
is exclusively the product of law. No
country leaves more free than th
United States. In all European coun
tries a will under which a man leaves
all his property to one descendent is
prohibited by Jaw. Under the Code
Napoleon, and this is the general rule
of European law, the utmost share of
his property over which a tian has
complete testimony control is one
half. He can alienate tbat. The rest he
must leave to his children and he niust
divide U among them under a ratio im
posed by law, from which he can vary
only under narrow limits.
Louisiana has preserved this limits
tion. A will leaving all an estate to one
descendant would not stand under the
statutes of tbat State. Same other
Slates in the Union impose similar lim
itations, but most leave a man free to
do as he will with his own at death. In
this State the only limitation imposed
is that the wife's dower right, which at
common law attaches only to real es
tate, now attaches also to personal
property, so tbat any w.fe cab.", if she
choose, take one-third of the estate if
less be left to her by the will, or one-
half if there is no child, her owner
ship of that much of the persons! prop
erty being absolute and of the realty
for life.
In England theoretically and legally
a man's control over his property is as
complete as it is in American States,
recent statutes having abolished the
special privilege in regard to realty
enjoyed by the eldest sou, but custom
in these matters is stronger than luw.
A tradition in existence for centuries
establishes the habit in England, a
habit so strong that it has more than
the force of a statute, that the bulk" of
a large property shall be entailed to
tbe eldest son. Where the eldest son
comes of age during his father's life
time, it is nearly always the case in
large properties that a settlement is
made, which could be made just as well
here as far as the law is concerned, by
which the son accepts a life interest in
all he inherits with the expectation
tbat a deed of settlement with bis eld
est son will in due time keep the prop
erty in the same line of descent and
division, the eldest son receiving nearly
all and the others a mere pittance
It is in England equally rare, (outside
of the novel.) that an eldest son is dis
inherited or that an estate is divided
among a number of children equally.
The courts in this country, power
fully influenced by a publio opinion,
which prefers a tolerably equal division
of property between tbe children and
wife, (if one survives,) have generally
regarded with a friendly eye attempts
to break wills in which some one de
scendant or kin received a dispropor
tionate share. All tbe various decisions
and the large amount of judge-made
law under which various wills of this
character have been broken really
represent a public feeling in behalf of a
general division of any property left by
will, as strong in this country as is the
sentiment in England in favor of keep
ing the property together.
The law of most of our States not
only leaves a testator without restric
tions, but taxation is relatively light as
compared with th English practice in
levying duties upon estates which pass
through probate. The community here
was wisely felt that it was more just

and more equitabuH to tax property
while a maj waiving and not to levy
an impost too onerous on its devolution.
This policy has been cocomitant with
and in a sense rewarded by the very
liberal public bequest made by those
possessing large fortunes inthis coun
try. Most large American fortunes are
marked by great gifts of this order.
Should such gifts disappear, should wilU
qjter will leaving a great fortune pass
without any recognition of just public
claims, a movement will undoubtedly
arise in this country, as it did in Eng
land, for heavier inheritance taxes. In
England both the estates where wills
have just been announced in this city
would have paid an estate duty of 8 per
cent, on all property left, whether in
herited by the next of kin, by collateral
heirs or devised. Every estate over
(5,000,000 in Great Britian passing by
death has for" ten years past paid this
heavy tax, anil the personality is liable
for 3 per cent, a year from the date of
death until this tax is paid. This levy,
one-twelfth of the total value, is ap
plied to every object, to pictures and
jewelry, as well as to stocks and bonds
and realty.
Ft pro Company Paid 85 for the
tHateavllle Landmark.
Some time ago an article was copied
in The Landmark from the Newton
News telling how a Northern sports
man had shipped a fine bird dog to a
trainer at Newton to be trained for the
bird season. The trainer did his best
with the dog, but when the owner came
and saw it he was speechless with rage.
Instead of a fine bird dog the trainer
had an old hound, on which he had
been expending time and effort.
The bird dog had been shipped by
express and investigation disclosed how
it had been transformed into a hound
while en route from the North to New
ten. At Salisbury the dog got out of
its crate and got away. To avoid trou
ble the express messenger seized the
first dog he could get bis hands on,
which happened to be a hound, and
carried it to Newton in place of the ex
pected bird dog; and while the trainer
thought it was a rather curious lookicg
bird dog he asked no questions, but
proceeded conscientiously to train it,
and the error was not discovered until
the arrival of the owner.
Many people doubtless thought this
story a joke, but it was no joke to tbe
exprr st company, for fsst week an offi
cial of the company paid (85 to the
owner of the escaped bird dog.
