'Why mustn't Istand up on the seat"
said small boy to his mother in sub
urban train the other day.
"Because know you'll fall over and
knock Miss Blanks hat off, was the
maternal reply.
The small boy remained silent for e
momeut, while he took stock Of the
hat on the lady in 'front.' Then he said
in judicial tones: why mamma,

The Cost of Universities.

In those good old times of thirty
years ago, two or three hundred tnou-
sand dollars was thought a great en-
dowment for university, and twenty
thousand dollars sufficient endow-
ment for professorship. To found an
institution and call it university, in
these days, with an income of less than
a quarter of million of dollars year,
is broad farce. Even with that sum
many of the most important spheres of
university activity must be neglected.
Twice the amount is not more than
adequate, and Harvard University,
which has an income of more than twice
that amount, is at this moment showing
cogent reasons for demanding more.
And the tendency is ever toward a
greater expenditure. This is neither
to be scolded at nor whined over. Just
as the material demands of this won
derful time have created vast hotels,
steamships and railway systems, SO the
moral and intellectual demands are
creating great universities. A leading
professor has become a parsonage;
various institutions compete for him,
often raising his salary to a figure
which once would have filled boards oil
trustees with dismay. It does not equal
yet the sum customary among distin.
guished city clergymen. lawyers, presi.
dents of banks or railroads, consulting
engineers, and cooks of New York
milionaires, but it is rapidly nearing
these figures, and it ought to do so. =

LEARNING TO WALK.


Yoften take rockingham
And watch him while he plays
He has such roly-poly legs
And cunning little ways;
The earnestness with which he crawls,
His strange attempts to talk
But most of all IL pleases me
When baby tries to walk
First dawns the light of the resolve
Within his rounded eyes,
And next with painting efforts come
His vain attempts to rise;
/ lift him quickly from the floor
And leave him waiting there
One moment, till beckon him
Toward the roelSing-chair
Unsteadily, on dimpled feet,
All waVering he stands,
And most entreatingly TO me
Puts out his pudgy hands;
A little tottering, tiny step,
A moment OF alarms,
A swift adyance-almost fall
Then safe in mothers arms.
Dear, dainty feet-through babyland
Full trustingly they go.
But how through stony future paths
A mother may not know;
And yet for aye my heart shall hear
His mystic baby talk,
And memory treasure up the days
WheK baby learned 10 walk.

know they can not hold out in race

may be natural. You have heard the

contest begun. On being asked his
reason for SO believing, he replied that
he had no fear of a man, either in a
