WOMEN AT OXFOR ID.
The Place They Occupy in the
Great UniversiIy.

Great Universify.
A most important step IN the extension
of the advantages of university education
to women has recently been made in the
foundation of new hall for the reception
of women students who cannot afford the
more expensive terms of the older institu-
tions. At St. Hugh's. as the new hall is tC
be called, by way of association with the
bishopric of Lincoln, ladies who are MEM
bers of the Church of England will be re-
ceived under the same discipline and gen
eral arrangements as those which obtain al
Lady Margaret hall, the principal of which
will have the appointment of the lady who
will be the first authority in the new hall,
ST. Hugh's, but there will be no further
official communication between the two
institutions.
Students at St. Hugh's will not be &C
cepted promiScuously. Good references as
to conduct, etc.. will be expected. These
must be SENT in the first instance, to Miss
Wordsworth, of Lady Margaret hall.
Should the proposing student not have
passed the Oxford first examination for
women. she will have to undergo the test
of an entrance examination: and should
she be accepted she will not be allowed to
reside for less than year, nor to quit
without giving notice an entire term pre-
viously.
In place of the more expensive arrange
ments at the older halls for women, the
sum of els year will be charged for resi-
dence and board, whilst the lecture and
tutorial fees will amount to Els in addi-
ton. These sums will be payable to the
General Assembly for the Promotion OF
Women's Education. who. we may pre-
sumo. will supply the deficiency which
must inevitably occur. The marked
economy which will characterize
ST. Hugh's will be obtained by
the students living more in COM
mon than is customary in the university
halls which will enable much simpler ar
rangement of rooms being effected. Fol
the present small house has been taken,
but should the new hall prove success in
the number of students it obtains. it will be
simply the nucleus of large establish
ment.
1t is at present disputed point amongst
some writers whether or not advanced fe-
male education is of advantage. Into this
we do not desire to enter at the present
time; but, assuming that it is for the benefit
of women, it cannot but be a matter of con-
graduation that the benefits Of university
education. which have hitherto been con-
fined to those who have the command of
money, should be extended to students who
can only afford to pay a sum of EGO per
annum. The new hall will place university
education in the power of many humble.
earnest students to whom it was previously
practically inaccessible.

The true girl is not complete without the
blessing of the gift of industry. Girls in
stilled with habits of industry are more
safely provided for than if they had for
tune given them, for there is no art or
science too difficult for industry to attain.
''Sloth makes all things difficult. but in
dustry all easy" Industry qualities us in
all our various classes for the highest and
lowest employments; it inspires US with
fresh vigor in the performance of social and
religious duties, and it gives wider scope
for the display of our talents. The habit
of constant useful occupation is as essen
tial for the happiness and well-being of
woman as OF man. The happiness of the
body lies in health, that of the mind I'm

are apt to sink into state of listless ennui

HIS CHRIST MAS GIFT.

It seems like hun dred years ago,
Since we travelled once through the drifted
snow
To meet round the Christmas tree.
You were child with fair, round face
And you hung on the tree, with shy, sweet
grace,
Your Christmas present for me.
Twas a scarlet, beaded pincushion heart,
rilliant and shiny-a triumph of art
With bead bird on it-a dove.
Twas bought of u ''sQuaw" (who spoke with
brogue),
And you said in your note-dear little
rogue
That you gave it to me with your love.
Well, that little red heart has been with me
Through distant countries far over tn 3 sea,
Crossed river, mountain and lake;
Though never pin have its tough sides
known,
For the heart was as hard as Pharaoh's own,
ut loved it for your sake.
-ary much older and wiser now,
II with formal word and bow,
d MANY more things we know;
Wa don't hang our hearts on trees, believe,
Nor wear them either upon our sleeve;
Is it better, wonder, so?
The tree is laden with gifts tonight.
And the colored tapers are cleaning bright,
And the Christ-Child floats above;
But nv hoped-for gift isn't on the tree,
/ want heart-win you give it me,
AS you diu before, with your lover

last few years, and the question OF higher
education still holds the prominent place il
deserves. Are we content to be as we are?
No; let us put forth our strength in doing
our utmost to elevate our standard of per-
lection and strive. one and all of rs, to be-
come true girls We need not live grand
lives. but good and useful ones, doing the
work which falls to our lot most faithfully
and cOnScientiously. for, as George Eliot
tells US, The growing good of the world is
partly dependent on unhlstorlc acts, and
that things are not so i'll with you and me
as they might have been. is half owing to
the number who lived faithfully hidden
life." Let us also bear in mind those beau
tiful lines of Charles Kingsley:
Be good. SWEEP maid. and let who will be
clever;
Do noble things, not dream them, all day
long,
And so make life, death, and that vast FORE

One grand, sweet song.
We should endeavOr to live for some
thing. and begin life by promising ourselves
all we can perform. and prove our fidelity
by carrying out all we have promised.
Poets give so few records of true and nice

The first crush has flooded in when she
comes flying up the spiral stairs of the
academy, and, standing in the door

away she goes. at racers gait, picking her

calling back, There's a step there-loo,

She sweeps the gallery again. her keen

A Curious Experiment in Guernsey.

The history of Guernsey furnishes Il Gu
rious dnd perhaps instructive instance OF
the kind of uses that paper money may
serve. 1t was determined to build meat
market, and $4,000 were devoted to pay
the cost Notes were issued by the au-
thorities for that amount, and were guar
anteed OH the "whole Of the property OF
the island, said to be worth four millions. !"
These notes were worthless outside OF
Guernsey, and so they were never export
cd. They were one pound notes, and were
numbered from up to 4, 1000. With them
the contractor was paid, he paid his work
men in the same money, and those that
supplied him with materials. Tradesmen
took them for goods, landlords for rent
and the authorities for taxes.

WINGED scAvENeERs oFTHE SOUTH
Fundamental Facts as TO tho Nature and
Utility OF the Turkey Buzzard.

TuuQamental cacC9 aS 70 INC NatuEe bHo
Utility OF the Turkey Buzzard.
The so-called turkey buzzard is not q
buzzard, but a vulture. BY insisting
upon this distinction the buzzar' tribe
could improve its reputation for uIeanlf-
nes-. 1t is against the law in almost
every southern state to shoot n turkey
brlzzard. There are two excellent reasons
for this prohibitions; the buzzards are the
scavengers of the south, and there is no
telling what sort of a pestilence dead
turkey buZZard would bring on if anybody
should kill one.
The turkey buzzard is a knowing bird.
He knows he is not good to be eatell-
though his knowing this does not imply
that he has superior acknowledgement he Is
not shy of mankind. He hovers over the
market places in the southern cities, wait
ing for business to close; and when the
crowd of purchasers has departed the buz-
zard descenls and fcasts upon the odds
and ends that have fallen from the
butchers and the fishmongers' knives.
The scarcity Of hash, mince pie and 1lsh
chowder in the southern states is some
thing for which the buzzard should have
credit. In Charleston there is Il big pub
Lie market down by the water, and the
buzzards always clean up after business
hours.
The wisdom of the turkey buzzard is
known also by one of his eNpedientS for
getting rid of work, which is fatiguing in
the southern states. He goes to the
mouths of rivers, where the conflicting
forces of current and tide deposit Oh the
banks a considerable proportion of the
carrion and other unwholesome things
that are borne toward the sea on the
rivers flood, and there he accommodates
his not very fastidious appetite to the
movement OF the tides. All animals that
perish inland are found by the buzzards.
It is even said that ilOcks Of these birds
will hover for days and nights over
horse or COW that is On its last legs. A
nOrtherner was driven out of southern
Georgia last winter by some one telling
him that the buzzards were beginning to
keep an eye on him Last summer the
sheriff of q county it Florida disappeared
in the woods after having loaded up big
revolver, and told his wife he was going
to shoot himself. Some little effort was
made to learn whether he had kept his
promise, but after a-day of searching IN
the cypress swampS the searchers sat
down in the shade of their houses and
said they would wait three days, when
the buzzards would find him, and then
they would find the huzzards.
The turkey buzzard, despite his formid-
able look, is harmless bird. Not only
does he never strike u creature till it is
down, but he hardly ever strikes it till it
is dead.-Georgia Cor. New York Sun.
