Women Teachers Have Good Reason
For Dreading Tuberculosis.
Many persons mid even those with a
rudimentary or fair a -quaiiitmice with
the Latin language, tiuil hardship in
translating the Latin that is <>n the
dollar bill as well ns on ail denomina
tions of currency issued by the United
States. This Latin is in the great cir

abbreviation pf the Latin. "Thesauri

meaning "The seal of the treasury of
North America."
In addition to the Latin inscription
on tlie seal there are a number of sym
bols on the seal, stars, a balance and
keys. The thirteen stars represent tho
thirteen original colonies. Justice, the
blind goddess holding the balance, has
always been a favorite with the de
visers of state seals. The first design
submitted for the grea.t seal of the
United States bad this device in full,
but it wus omitted entirely from the
one Anally adopted The designers of
our treasury seal used the balance
alone as un emblem of justice. Keys,
in secular heraldry, have been used
from remote antiquity to denote offices
of state.—Washington Star.
That teachers are especially prone to
tuberculosis Is the statement made by
the bureau of educational hygiene of
the city of New York. This department
sa.is that tills disease is 20 |>er cent
more prevalent among teachers than
among others of corresponding sex and
age aud that about half of all deaths
among women teachers is caused by
tuberculosis, and this tn spite of tlie
fact that teachers belong to a better
hygienic grade than the general aver
age.
Strenuous, nerve taxing work that
causes physical exhaustion and nerve
breakdown is given as the main cause.
Termini states that "four hours of ac
tual teaching represent about eight
hours of ordinary office work." What
is probably the second cause is' lack
of sufficient rest and regular exercise
in the open air.
Speaking along this Ilue, the state
board of health says: “The wan, tired
look that usually marks the teacher,
especially about tlie close of school, is
too often a condition of serious conse
quence. It may be just a 'tired, run
down condition’ or a case of ‘wornout
nerves' or both, but these are predis
posing causes of tuberculosis as much
or more than others.
“Unless the teacher is wise,” says
the board, "and ns quickly as possible
overcomes this tired feeling and re
gains her usual state of health and
vigor she subjects herself to an open
risk against tuberculosis as well as to
other diseases.
“What the wise teacher will do is
to avoid overwork and a nervous strain
and see that she gets sufficient rest
dally as well as daily exercise in the
open air. This wornout condition that
Is too often the beginning of a long,
sad story is easy to prevent. To pre
vent it should be the teacher’s first
duty.”

At the entrance of the lamasery at
Kunibum are eight large monuments,
which iiintuln the ashes of eight
Buddhas Long years ago, at the be
ginning of the Ming dynasty, after
hard fighting the Tibetans were driven
back from Chinese territory, which
they had overrun for hundreds of
miles. When the victorious Chinese
general reached Kunibum he sent for
these eight Buddhas and said to them:
“You can read the future. Can you
tell me when you are going to die?”
One of them, shrewd enough to under
stand tlie general's mind. said. “To
morrow.” “No," said the general; "it
will be today." And it was.
Quito a number of temples and
buildings make up the lamasery. The
chief temple, which Is dedicated to
Tseng Kaba, the great reformer of
Tibetan Buddhism, has a roof of gold,
variously conjectured as being from
one-eighth of an inch to half an inch
thick.
Inside is a large image of
Tsong Kaba, said by some to be of
gold, but it is probably overlaid with
gold. The temple threshold is covered
with planks, and we saw many poor
deluded people prostrating themselves
in worship there. Around the main
building are many large prayer wheels,
