"Let ns hope that the numlr of men (eachers employed, vliich di-crensed 30 per ceut during the pst de cade, wilt increase, while the numher of women teachers, which deTeased only about 4 percent, will remnin stationary.

The number of sod anil log school building in the stale will rapid) v decrease and the number of frame school buildings will slightly de crease, while the number of brick build ings will increase. During the next ten years there will !e a decrease in the total number of school buildings in the state of Nebraska through the consolidation of rural school districts. There will be a material increase in thehngth of the term in many school districts of the stale; and let us Ii"s3 that in 1910 our county Superintendents will average at least tl, 000 a year each. Our state teachers' association, our great university and our state normal school will increase their enrollment materially. There wiil then be three state normal schools. In 1910 in many of the ruraVportions of the state the farmers' children will have the same advantages of education in a 'ell arrang ed, well organized, well grade!) school that the village and ity pupils now en- The above wasclipjied from be Omaha Hee, and contains thoughts 'worthy of consid ration by men of all political faiths. In our two years work with Mr. Fowler we have found him one of the most pro gressive and aggressive educational mer. in the state while it is true he is not of our political belief,' but I feel sure Mr. Fowler is so interested in the building up of schools of Nebraska, that he has little time to think of politics, and that should be the aim of every one that represents educational iuterests, let it he county, or state, we are sure Mr. Fowler has done as much for the common schools of Nabr as any state Superintendent has done hi the same time, and from this time forth his work will show more progress, for the educational work of the state Is a large tiling, and it takes about 2 years to fret the reins properly in the hand, and if Mr. Fowler hi returned or reelected this j fall to the off toe which I now 1111 10 well we may look for great advancement in the educational work of the state fi r he has visi'ed about every county in the slate, and has not only viewed the enure work but HjrorialIy knuws the coun'y Superintendents, lliat he has to look t o for help and information in advancing the common or rural schools of which he takes great interest, and that IS our interests. J. B. Burke FOR MEN. KIS5ING THE HAND. The Practice tVaa Instituted br tba Early llowan Rulcra. The pn.cllcc of kissing the bands was- "n.-Ututfd by the early Uoinan rulora as a tnnrk of subjciiou as much as oue of respect, and u.ider the lirst Ciesar the custom was kept up, but only for u tlino. These worthies conceived the Ides that the proper homage due to their exalted station called for loss familiar modes of oliclsauco, bo the privilege of kissing the emperor's bund was re served as u special mark of condescen sion or distliiCtiou for ofilcua of high rank. No such restriction, however, was placed on the emperors themselves, who, If they wished to confer signal honor on auy of their subjects, kissed either the mouths or the eyes of those they wished specially to favor, the kiss generally Intimating some promotion cr personal satisfaction for some achievement. Roman fathers considered the prac tice of kissing of so delicate a nature that they never kissed their wives In the presence of their daughters. Then, too, only the nearest natives were allowed to kiss their kindred of the gentler sei on the mouth, for in those days, as now, kissing wag not a mere arbitrary sign, but it was the spontaneous lunguage of the affections, especially that of love. Under the Homaus If a lover kissed his betrotu"d before marriage she In herited half of his worldly goods In the event of bis death before the marriage ceremony, and If she died her heritage descended to her nearest relatives.

It was my good fortune to discover the newly abandoned lair of a cougar family and further and to me new evidence of that fastidious cleanliness which Is a murked cluiracterlstlc of the animal. This retreat was not at all the typical "panther's den" of tradi tion, but a bush grown harborage un der the edge of a rock with Just enough of shelf to keep off the rain. I should not have found this breeding place but for a certain well gnawed array of bones scattered over a little smooth bench above a creek channel. From this boneyard there was a very tracea ble path leading through grnss and brush to the retreat where the dam had housed her young. The evidence Wre told 'plainly of ihe cougar's long jjaBiutilty from annoyance and attack and of a thoroughly Neunly habit of life. There was no bone or other sign of feasting about the lair. The-.jlnm had carried her kill to the creek ten In every Instance, and the children had been colled to the dining room. As bone which would have been crunch ed or eaten by grown animals had been perfectly cleaned by the kit 1 was able to Judge of their summer's diet This had consisted mostly of minor game, rabbits, marmots, grouse and the like, with an occasional small deer.
