This was too much. To be given to

With his spring the relative positions

what delight II would be to borrow and

The young person who would eulti-

or inappropriate acts or sounds thrust

realization that explains the reason

never perform in public any of the du
ties of the toilet, such as cleaning her
nails or using a tooth-pick She will
not eat peanuts or fruit in the cars or

every one with unpleasant noises.
Such things really iniiict pain upon
sensitive people; they offend, because
they obtrude, and all similar actions

avoided by every one who desires to
acquire true and genuine culture OF

College Endowments.

The Commissioner of Education
reports that the 145 theological schools
and colleges in the country have pro-
ductive property of $9,500,000, from
which an income of 5000. 900 is derived,
while the eighty-seven medical colleges
have only income bearing funds to the
amount of S350,0O0, yielding but $780,
900. This leads the Independent to
suggest that in this fact may be found
the reason whv so many medical
students go abroad to find instruction.
In view, however, OF the immense
number Of students attending American
medical colleges, it would appear that
the various faculties were able to carry
out very satisfactorily their curricula
despite the obvious disadvantage OF
lack of means. - Current.

THOROUGHLY COMPETENT.

A Steamboat Mate Who Displayed Re-
markable Courage in Drowning Out In.
cipient Flames.
The mate of the steamer was showing
me over the boat as we rushed along
down the great Father of Waters. The
one particular thing he wanted me to
take notice of was the fact that the boat
was as near fire-proof as steamboat
could be made. Fire hose was coiled
up all along the various decks, nozzles
all ready to play. and buckets of water
were kept standing in various localities
to drown out incipient fires.
'It's all right if you have system"
said, as we finally halted ,l. /.
System is dead perfect he replied.
-"At the cry.of fire tapthe bell. That
calls all the crew to the spot. There
isn't spot on the boat which we can

but hadn't turned in yet, when some

could yell. l rushed out. We were
bowling along within fifty feet of the
shore. and away aft there was bright
blaze of flame and rush of smoke. I
started that way, but somebody ran
over me. sprawled out, sprang up and l
heard splash in the water. A negro
ranpast me and rang the bell, and a
second got down a coil Of hose, opened
fight on the fire, and directed matters
so sensibiy that the flames were soon
subdued. Then the Captain came aft
and roared out:

The Cause of It.

John Roach gives his version of the cause
of his suspension, in very plain and prac-
ticable words. He says:
IF the people understood this matter, if
the mendacious free trade press had not
so extensively deceived them, the failure
of John Roach would be recognized from
Gccaen to ocean as national calamity
Twenty-four hundred workmen. eight
hundred in the Morgan Iron Works and
twice that number at Chester, went out of
my shops Saturday night, who will not go
back on Monday. In these hard times
that is a serious matter. This is not
party question. l have been Republican
but above that have first, last and ever
been an American. 1t was my great am
bition that our nation should recover it's
glory and prosperity on the seas. wanted
to prove that American merchandise,
grown or made by American workingmen
in American shops could be sold the world
over through the medium of American
ships, built from iron rolled in our own
shops and of timber cut from our own for
ests. l wanted to prove that we could do
business on our own bottom, and that 9TH
er nations with less resources were not
more sagacious and enterprising on the
seas. | have given my life and my fortune
to that end, and even in the presence of
this calamity, | am proud of what John
Roach has accomplished.
Let the workingmen think over this
and determine whether Free Trade Democ-
racy and English Industries are to be
preferred to Protective Republicanism
and American Industries.
