There never was a time in the his tory of the world when there was as much provision made for the care of orphans and abandoned children as there is now. This fact shows that the world is growing more kind but at the same time these asylums are encouraging a kind of crime that has always been prevalent to some extent but never so much as now. The records of New York show that there are more child ren deserted by their parents now than there ever have been before. The parents even justify themselves in abandoning their children on the used to carry passengers to the Main theory that the children will be better street depots and the Union Pacific taken care of by the state or by the transfer, has been dug up several feet The Rapid Decrease in the Number of Male Teachers in Nebraska. In the NK)-page biennial report of the state educational department for l!K)2 1!H)4, which has just made its belated appearance from the press. Former State Superintendent Fowler calls at tention to the continuous decrease in the number of male teachers employed in the schools, notwithstanding the constant increase in the wages paid. In 1!K) there were 2, Mil men employed in the schools, but in 1004 there were only l.:;s: out of a total of i,714 teach ers employed. During the past four years, the decrease in the number of male teachers has been 3:5 per cent and the wages have risen '10 per cent. The changes are attributed to the prosper ity in other lines of business which have lessened the comparative attrac tiveness of the teaching profession from a financial point of view. "In the seventeenth biennial report of this department," says the author of the volume just issued, "I called at tention to the rapid decrease in the number of men employed from year to year in teaching school. In 18!) there were 2,860 men thus employed, 2,062 in 1900; 1,840 in 1H01; 1,862 in PK)2; l,4!o in VMl, and l,3s in 1S04. During the same time the increase in the number of women teachers more than offset this loss of men, for the total number of teachers was 9,46.' in 1900: 9,620 in 1902: 9,714 in 1904. As stated two years ago, if the loss of male teachers is to be charged to low salaries, as is custom ary, we must make our comparisons between the salaries paid men for teaching and the salaries paid in other professions and trades and various lines of business, and not between the salaries paid men for teaching and the salaries paid women for teaching, for men are paid more than women, and men are paid better wages now than a few years ago." The former superintendent deplored this tendency towards a decrease in the number of male teachers as a de fect in the American school system, adopting the following sentiment re cently expressed by Leslie M. Shaw, secretary of the treasury: "The boy never sees much of his father; all he sees are other boys and some very excellent women teachers. But you cannot rear a man without bringing the boy in contact with a man, just as sure as the world." Old Relics Found.

The readers of this paper will pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is catarrh.
