The Health of the College Girls.

The stigations winch have been conducted by the Massachu- setts burea of labor have resulted 1n some interesting facts regard ing the health of female students. The commonly accepted opinion that mental labor, if at all severe or long continued, is prejudicial to health, is here refuted by sta tistics derived from various sources.
 In one case, of 705 returns made, it was found that 78 per cent. of the women graduates heard from were in good health. Upon entering college the health of 20 per cent. was below par. After graduation, impaired health was only II per cent. showing that the physical condition of the stu dent became improved under the restrictions and requirements of college life.
 Those whose health was not good suffered chiefly from ner- vous diseas s. It was also found that girls from the country do not make as good a showing as re- gards health as those who were natives of cities. Although these statistics are looked upon by the advocates of higher education of women as conclusive evidence, we cannot admit that they are suf- ficiently large or complete to con- vey much weight. The variation in physical condition, before and after the requirement of a colle- giate education, was only 3 per cent. This fact, which is the one from which any conclusion can be draw, might be the result of i'm proved hygiene s'irroun"lnss' both mental ana physical, makln5 the effect of study itself wholly negative in character.

Petty Meannesses of Actors.

Actors and actresses are very much like other people, they are full of petty spites. I know of a case which happened in a London theatre not many weeks ago, in which one actor-of rank in the profession-had to receive some thing from young player on the stage. For some reason or other he did not like the young man, and determined to bother him, so instead of taking the article ten dered he fell down as if ill a fit, leaving the young fellow without any cue to go on with or any means of exit.
 Some years ago a very cele- brated actress used habltually to annoy a well known actor with whom she played. "Is it the case," asked the actor of her one day. Miss -, that whenever I have to say my lines in the third act, you cough as violently as you can to drown my voice?" ''Yes, Mir. -" was the reply. T think, do you know, that your voice is better when it Is drowned" That same lady once played terrible trick upon the actor. Knowing he was nervous, she gave him, as Portia, ring, which he, us Bas- sani, was unable to get on his finger, and so put him out that he nearly broke down altogether.
 But lately an actor told me him self that so greatly did he dislike playing with lady who was in the same cast with him that he frequently put chairs, stools and tables in her way purposely on the stage, so that she could not make her accustomed rushes over the boards without d risk of tumb ling. Oh, yes, there are plenty of little spitetul incidents on the stage, and the people who perform them are usually the kindest and most innocent in appearance London Letter.

The Irish are the pavest and

The Irish are the gayest and most underfed people in the world save the Spaniards, who are happy on a crust of bread, an onion and a cup of water. Goldsmith re- marked that the gayety of the Frenchman was in an inverse ratio to the weight of his purse. This is true in our time as in his. Moth : Ing is more dull, more formal, more insipid, more inane than soc1al evening gathering of French who usually dine of trente six plats. They have no life in them selves, and have to get bouffe opera singers to stir them up. And even in laughing at these they are dull. On the other hand there is always fun and go among the poor, hard worked French. It is this class which furnishes priest essess to the laughther loving goddess, who sweep here the wealth of the world to her altar. Mile. Schneider, Jennie Granier, Leonide Leblanc, Theresa, Judie and Milly Meyer all rose from poverty to opulence.-London Truth.

The "coon boom" is now on in South Carolina, and the colored population are especially affected by it. The devotees of the sport are easily recognized, as appears by the annexed from The Carolina Spartan: "When you see an old time darkey, with one gallus on, a horn worn smooth with long use, a sharp ax sticking out at his shirt collar behind misunderstanding half-hound that puts on no airs, a bobtailed yellow cur, considerably scared up, and half-grown pup that he carries along to see if he won't larn some sense,' you may know that he is going a coon hunting.'

ing He was engaged in wheeling brick
from the pile to Mr.. S. b. Cross new store,
distance of $50 #. Mr.. French thought
he could wheel at least nine loads over the
distance in an hour, and friend of his
differed in opinion. A bet of \ small amount
was put up and the trial was appointed for
the evening mentioned The bricks were
piled out into nine loads weighing about 200
lbs. each, and before an enthusiastic crowd
of men and boys who had assembled, Mr..
French began his task. The first trip was
made in just minute so seconds, and the
remainder averaged little more than two
minutes each. As French few along the
home stretch after depositing his last load he
was saluted with salute of Roman candles
and loud applause. He made the whole
nine trips in 10 minutes and As seconds

For some time past the Young Mems
Christian Association of this city has been
doing an active work among boys. This de-
partment now has As members. Up to the
present time the members have been allowed
full privileges of the Reading and Social
rooms, but owing to the fact that the mum
Der of young men who use the rooms is in-
creasing daily. it has become necessary to
limit the boys to one night week only,
namely, Tuesday evening. We expect to
continue this work, doing all we can for the
bows, but We cannot expect large results, I'M
ill we have a building of our own with rooms
specially adapted for this important branch
of our work and competent committee to
take charge of it. Beside the dumb bell
drill. debates, business meetings, mock
trials. practical talks, etc, held Tuesday
evenings, bible study will be held one night
in the month for all boys who wish to avail
themselves of this privilege.

Plain, simple foods do not clog or cloy the
stomach, but leave body and mind in trim
for active, untiring work, and preeminent
among these stand the grain foods whose
healthfulness 10 universally admitted. Hy-
gienists especially commend Oatmeal for its
exceptionally nutritious qualities, but the
difficulties hitherto encountered by the aver
age housekeeper in cooking it thoroughly
and making it palatabe have always pre-
vented its becoming universally popular.
These two difficulties however have been
completely overcome by the Quaker Mill
Company, of Ravenna, Ohio, in their pre-
paration known AS Quaker Rolled White Oats,
which are quickly and easily cooked, while
the superior and peculiar drying processes
used by them, retain in the manufactured
product all the natural sweetne IS and flavor
of the grain. These excellences are being
thoroughly appreciated by the public, and
have secured for the Quaker" brand the
unrivalled popularity which it justly enjoys

become a favoi.ite breakfast dish, and are
