EDITORIAL PAGE
That's the secret of success. The man w1m> sticks by Skag
way now is the man who will he in on tho prost?erity which is
head<?d this way.
In tho first place it is a pleasure to live here. You win
whichever way business gws. Tho joy of living is a million
times more magnificent than the joy of poss<*ssion. The writer of
this would rather be broke in Skagway than have wealth in any j
of the eastern cities.
If you a iv broke here, po out and catch a fish, shoot a duck or j
some ptanniiran ; cut some wood and cook your day's ftK>d and be ;
happy. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. No man is]
down and out until he admits it.

Deep Decay Has Eaten Into
Study of the Classics
In America
Bv Professor C. GILBERT MURRAY. Rciliu Professor of
Creek at Oxford
0EEI> DECAY HAS EATEN INTO Till" STUDY OF THE
I CLASSICS IN AMERICA ? aid niilwpftit conscious
ness of it. I was struck by the general sense of* regret for
the lost inheritance.
The decay is in part dne to Dr. Eliot's policy at Harvard. He
abolished compulsory Greek. It was an experiment which should
hare been tried in a laboratory less noble than Tlmrnrd.
America is educating a rast democracy with SUI.ENDID PUB*
1.IC SPIRIT AND SUCCESS. Tho general - ~ ctivcne<? of the
education and the public real for it impresses one deeply. I can see
quite well that circumstances demanded that a quick. cheap, business
like education should be given to meet the needs of the immediate
moment.
? * K
IT SEEMED a WASTt OF TIME TO GO TO THE MARKET PLACE BY
WAV OF ATHENS. BL'T I THINK * TIME HAS COME WHICH DEMANDS
DEEPER MORE SOLtO AND THEREFORE SLOWER EDUCATION.
? at *r
Great insurgent forces are at work in the United States, and
CITIZENSHIP WILL REQUIRE IN FUTURE FIXER TRAIN
ING and VISION THAN IN THE PAST.
At Oxford we must preserve our ancient individuality and con
tinue to teach the classics in the old. thorough way. The American
universities, admirable as they *re. cannot give education like our
ancient institutions of learning.

In Mont remit. Itity. It is believed
that all i lip cats who wander about
upon tho roof* during the month of
Fcbraary srr really witches. whom It
la lawful am! even necessary to nboot.
An old German superstition baa It
that if a black cat alts upon the bed
of a sick man ft la a prwag* of hi*
death, while if after his decease it la
wen upon his grave it la enough to
amn* doubts aa to the locality to
which his soul bas departed
In Hmigary it Is thought that rata
generally become witches between the
age* of seven and twelve years,
A l->ench belief concerning the eat is
that if the animal be carried in a cart
and the wind blow from it to the
horses tbey immediately fall tired. If
any port of tbe horseman's clothing be
made of cat'a akin tbe horse will feel
aa though it carried a double burden
Red Raina.
Red rain Is fairly common, and In
May. 1SS&, there was a heavy fall of
blond rtsl hail at Castleweliau. County
(town, Ireland. The red hue waa not
merely on the surface. When one
s<iueeied the pelleia the fingers wort'
deeply stained.
A remarkable ml rain fell at Tbe
Hague In the year 1C.70 Tbe town was
In uproar one morning upon finding
lakes and dltcbea which had contained
water overnight now full of "blood."
A physician, however, took some of It
from one of the canals, put ft under hla
microscope and found that It was due
to swarms of tiny red animals, all In a
state of lively commotion. Thin, bow

Ring Regulations.
Maurice Maeterlinck, the Belgian
poet, playwright and philosopher, was
once conversing on a variety of topics
with an American girl when she said:
"I see that pugilists flght in a ting.
What kind of a ring Is It. Mr. Maeter
linck? You are an athlete, and so you
1 ought to know."
The poet, pushing back his thick pep
per and salt hair, smiled and replied:
i "In tbe ordinary sparring match,
I limited to seven or eight rounds, an en
gagement ring Is used, but when it's a
light to a finish they always employ a
wedding ring."
He Understood.
Panl l.ouls Courier, when bitterly as ,
sailed by a Crete h professor, quietly
remarked: "I fancy he must be vered j
He calls me Jacobin, rebel, plagiarist,
thief, poisoner, forger, leper, madman, i
