The Letter and Spirit Of Coed breeding

The Letter and Spirit of Coed Breeding.
An excellent old gentleman, once upon a
time, discussed the virtues and faults of
his son with the young woman who was
to be his daughter-in-law.
"Dan's mother died when he was baby"
he said; ''he has no near female relatives.
He has spent nearly all his life in school
and at college, SO that he has never had
that training which comes from associa-
tion with well bred women. He is good
boy-as good as gold. There is nothing
that he would not do for you. He will
give you all that he has, he will be as
true as steel, he will honor you and love
you with all his heart, although he may
forget to tell you SO. He would die for
you, but he will probably not pick up your
pocket handkerchief for you."
The young woman listened respectfully
to fathers pardonable praise of his son,
then she said, "But do not want him to
die for me, and shall want him to pick
up my pocket handkerchief" She pre-
ferred, says correspondent of The Inter.
Ocean, who relates this little incident, the
letter to the spirit.
There are among many specifically po-
lite people tremendous respect for certain
requirements which they believe are an in
dex to social position and Indication Of
honorable origin, says the same writer.
They would consider themselves hopeless
1y disgraced were they to put the knife to
an improper use; to confuse the various
spoons, forks and glasses about their plate
at dinner, but other matters which affect
their relations with their fellow being are
passed over as of no consequence.
One of the most common offenses among
the superficially well bred is the slight and
discourtesy which they show to dependents,
or those whom they consider their social
interiors. The poor relation in his shabby
coat and patched boots receives scant cour-
tesy. The faithful dressmaker, met by
chance in public assemblage, is confront
ed with a stony stare, or is passed by and
not seenat all. This is alwaysthe i'll breed
ing of the snob, of the newly rich who, not
feeling sure of themselves, knowing we'll
what they are and whence they came, be-
lieve that their hardly earned place can be
retained only by this stern discrimination.
They believe that, like liberty, eternal vigil
lance is the price of position"

Columbia College Certificates for Women.
Under the direction Of the school of
arts Of Columbia college examinations
will be held at Barnard college from
June ito 9. These examinations will
bear the same relation to Columbia and
Barnard colleges which the Harvard
university examinations for women bear
to Harvard college and the Harvard
annex" They will be identical with the
examinations for admission to the fresh
men classes of Columbia and Barnard
colleges, and will be held at the same
time and place and on the same terms of
notification.
The certificates granted will be of two
kinds. To candidate who passes salts
factory examinations in at least three
subjects. a certificate will be given,
signed by the dean of the school Of arts.
To a candidate who passes satisfactorily
the whole examination certificate will
be given, signed by the president of Co
lumbia college.
1t is believed that these examinations
will be of great value and assistance to
the schools for girlsin New York and its
neighborhood, as means of proving the
thorough york done in them, by both the
teachers and pupils. That the faculty
Of Columbia college have decided to offer

Scientific Wine Drinkinr.

A writer on the scientific drinking OF
wine says that dry wine is the only health
full wine, from the fact of its containing NO
sugar and little alcohol. The grape is used
when there is only about % per cent. OF
saccharine. After fermentation there re-
mains 10 or IL per cent alcohol and nc
sugar The grapes for sweet wine are al
lowed to become very ripe, and used when
there Is from 80 to 40 per cent. sugar. 1t is
fermented into about 15 per cent alcohol,
and then brandy is added to prevent fur
ther fermentation in the bottom. In drink
ing it the heat of the stomach causes fer
mentation. Result, headache, gout and
possibly an uncomfortable appetite TO.
