Opening of Syracuse Schools. The Syracuse schools opened on Monday, Sept. 11, with an attendance of 286. There were 85 in the high school alone, which makes conditions rather crowded there. Everything possible is being done by tl superintendent, Mr. C. C. Bachman, I th get the interest of the high school • pupils and then hold it for the entire four years. There has always been large classes in the first year of the high school, but until recently quite a number have dropped out { each succeeding year until only a I few who started were left to graduate. It is hoped that the new lines of work which are being added to the regular course this year will help much in this direction and another factor which has some bearing on this problem of keeping the students the entire four years is the Alumni ! Association, which has been formed within the last few years. t With the able corps of teachers employed- throughout the entire school, the prospects are excellent for a very successful school year.

Are you proud of your ancestors? Os how many of them ? Since the beginning of the Christianeeraa —a mere 1911 years—you have had 139,235,017,489,534,976 ancestors. Imagine, if you can, how many persons were needed since the beginning i of the world to bring you forth—you, who are reading this now. It works the other way, too. If a single couple had started 5,000 years ago to populate the world, and everybody had grown to maturity and married at the age of 21, the earth’s population would be 2,199,915, followed by 144 ciphers. However, this world would not hold them all; It would not be large enough j To give all these people breathing spate the size of the world would have to be multiplied by 3,166,526, followed by 125 ciphers. That Is the 4-only way In which these enormous numbers can be expressed. How futile, then, is ancestor worship! Every one of us, high or low, has had in his ancestry kings and peasants, criminals and saints; It Is almost Impossible to name any one of one’s own race to whom one cannot prove in some way a remote relationship. Man and the Crowd. An address once made by President Schurman to the graduating class at Cornell was an eloquent appeal for ; the individual against the crowd. “Would you-abolish poverty, would you advance civilization?” he asked. “Then educate individuals one by one to be more virtuous’, more Intelligent, more skillful, more industrious.” Upon the soundness of the plea there will be general agreement. It is but a new statement of the philosophy of Jesus that each man should take care of his own soul. But it is a I creed that has been much more succesfully taught on lonely farms and pastures than in universities. Still, the creed is a good one to . teach. It can never be taught too , often. Better than all laws against > vice and crime and folly Is an Im--1 pulse toward self-reform. And per- ■ haps such an impulse was never more ' needed than now, for never was the ■ voice of the crowd more clamorous nor the influence of the crowd more potent. He that can make sure of his own thought amid its noises Is a philosopher. He that can stand against Its power is a hero. —New York World. „ • _ .. . .

MUST WALK WHILE HE TALKS Senator Martine of New Jersey Says His Tongue and Legs Move at Same Time. Senator Martine of New Jersey, says the Washington correspondent of the Boston Advertiser, walks as he orates. Usually a senator addressing the senate or in interrupting a senator stands by a seat al best, moving but little from it ir the excitement o f his inspiration But Martine cannot maintain himself thus. He must walk rapidlj and for some distance as he talks much after the manner when h< used to “cradle” his New Jersey farm, as he says. So Martine is i circus to see as well as to listen t( when he feels he must enlightei some senator who professes to knov more about farming than he. And he accepts the fun witl good grace. ‘■'Why do you walk so!” Senate Bailey asked him. “I cannot help it,” replied Mar tine. “My tongue and legs mov at the same time. Some reflex ac tion somewhere. I have been re proved for this on the stump by ai Irishman. Finding me at it as ' am he shouted: “‘Say, are you walking or an you talking? If you are walking then walk; if you are. talking, thei talk. We can’t hear you when yoi walk and we cannot sec you whei you talk. Quit one or both.’ “But here I am. I have nevei been cured.” DIDN’T UNDERTAND. 'wk *5/ v Robson—l understand that you have a great deal of fret work in your home. Snobson—l don’t see the necessity for drawing my wife into the conversation. PROTECT THE SPINAL CORD. Persons who seem to be predisposed to be affected by the heat should avoid exposing themselves as much as possible. They should dress lightly, should drink plenty of water, should avoid indulgence in alcoholic drinks, should keep their heads as cool as possible; and some recommend that the back should be protected by sewing an extra piece of flannel into the inside of the shirt so that it may protect the spinal cord. These precautions may wisely be observed by everyone in hot weather and especially when an excess of humidity in the atmosphere diminishes the perspiration of those who are working or are exposed to very hot air.—From the Journal of the American Medical Association. FLY PEST IN EGYPT. A plague of sand flies suddenly invaded Cairo, Egypt, a few days ago. Myriads of these venomous little insects appeared and swarmed over everything. It was with the greatest "difficulty that many people got free of them, and if the plague had not been so aggressively unpleasant it would, have been amusing to watch the frantic efforts made by every one to drive the flies away. Many natives flung their galabeahs over their faces, and, in spite of the intense heat, ran for their lives for shelter. The less fortunate Europeans had to do their best with handkerchiefs and newspapers until they found a shop or house in which to take refuge. PROOF OF IT. Mrs. Dresser—But, George, you surely don’t consider yourself a financier? Mr. Dresser—Certainly, I do. How do you suppose I’ve kept from paying your milliner’s bill for so long if I’m not a financier?—CathStandard and Xhaee.
