Many a writer of note has received his
first lesson from becoming correspondent
to the country press. You may write
for practice or practice to write, and the
people of your village become interested in
what you say. Thus you are encouraged
to ''press on" until, if you have talents in
that line, after years of toll and hard Study
you probably become an author or an editor.

The Funny Man and the Car Window.

There is often seen on train the funny
man, who likes to wait until the last
minute before shutting his window when
the train is about to enter tunnel. The
brakeman comes through the car crying
out in stenorian tones: "Shut up your win
dowsp' in way that makes some people
start guiltily, for about all one can hear is
the "shut up" and every conscientious
brakeman insists upon adding the sup" to
the shut" However, about the funny
man: He looks scornfully at the believing
brakeman, as if to warn him that it is a
waste of breath to inform veteran travel
Ter that there is a tunnel just ahead.
He knows the road so well that at the
very moment the cars leap into the black
ness of the tunnel his fingers fly to the
window latch. The spring is stiff and the
window sticks. Tugging and pulling and
jerking, with little swearing thrown in,
he finally gets the window down, but for
thirty seconds, while the train has been
roaring through the tunnel, the smoke has
poured into the car and every one is chok-
ing and condemning that man to a place
which is specially unpleasant in summer,
while he puts on an injured look and NUT
tiers severe words about a company that
disgraces itself by having windows in it's
cars which will neither go up nor go down.
The funny man never gets tired, how
ever, of trying to show how successfully
he can play his trick.-New York Tribune.

The irrepressible small boy from Fast
Liberty came into the city via Fifth ave
nue. line, accompanied by his father, who
frowned upon any attempts for him to be-
come inquisitive. This was very hard on
the boy, and he sat in misery for ten min
utes, not saying word. At Soho street tho
car stopped to take On q lady attired in a
very loud red dress, with cheeks painted to
match. The gripman started with his
usual disregard for the equilibrium of the
passengers, and as result tbs irrepressi-
ble's father suddenly found himself hold
ing the new passenger on his lap.
ooh, amt it funny" screamed the boy,
dancing with delight. "But amt you glad
mama isn't here? You remember what
happened when she saw you holding Aunt
Fanny on your lap the other day"
The boy and his father alighted from the
car at the next street with an energy that
made the youngter smell the shingle In the

THE COLLEGE MANS FUTURE.
The Method of Training the Undergrad

The Method of Training the Undergrad
uate in the Ideal University.
What, in the growth of higher university
life is to become of the undergraduate?
VIII he not be made too subordinate be-
ing in view of the lofty ideals of the uni
versity? AS a matter of fact, the great
Plumbers and the large significance of the
undergraduates in every university insure
and always will insure the closest atten-
ton to their needs and interests, however
much the ideal of the university grows
upon us, however lofty the more organic
and national purposes of our academic
work become.
Of the proper place of the undergraduate
in the organism of a great university
have a pretty decided notion, which
should like to express rs close 1t is this;
In the true university the undergraduate
ought to feel himself novice In an order
of learned servants of the ideal-a novice
who, if in turn he be found willing and
worthy, may be admitted, after his first de-
gree, to the tolls and privileges of this order
as a graduate or, still later, as teacher;
but who, on the other hand, if. as will most
frequently happen, he is not for this call
ing, will be sent back to the world, en-
riched by his Undergraduate years of inter
course with his fellows, and with elder
men and progressive scholars.
The ideal academic life, then, is not or
ganized expressly for him. And yet he
will gain by the very fact that it is organ
lied for higher aims and upon more sig
nifcant principles than his individual in
terests directly involve. It is 9 mistake to
think first Of :disciplining' the under
graduate mind, and then Of higher AGA
demic purposes. First let US seek the
highest, which Ia organized scholarship
Then let US give ample time, teachers
and oversight to the undergraduates, but
let what we do for them be informed by
the true university spirit; that is, let us
treat them just as novices preparing to
enter the higher scholarly life in some pne
Of tho multitqdiaops AepassrrtEments Qf mod
prn research, and let us train them as if
they were all known to be worthy of such
calling. Professor Josiah Royce in sorib-
ner's.

Do Right for Rights Sake.

Great was the alarm in the palace of
Rome. The empress had lost her costly
diadem and it could not be found. They
searched in every direction, but it was all
in vain. Finally, it was proclaimed in the
public streets: 1.-THE empress has lost &
precious diadem. Whoever restores it
within thirty days shall receive princely
reward. But he who delays, and brings it
after thirty days. shall lose his head"
Among the crowds that thronged Rome's
stately halls and thoroughfares was an
eastern sage, learned man, who loved
goodness and lived righteous life. 1t
CHANGED one night as he was strolling up
and down beneath the clear moonlit sky
he saw the diadem sparkling at his feet
He seized it quickly and brought it to his
dwelling, and then, after the thirty days
had expired, returned it to the empress.
"What dost thou mean by this?" she in
quired. "Why didst thou delay until this
hour? Dost thou know the penalty?'
81 delayed until now" the sage answered
calmly, $50 that thou might know that
return your diadem not for the sake of the
reward, still less out of fear Of punishment,
but solely to comply with the Divine com
mand- not to withhold from another that
which belongs to him."
BLESSED be thy God!' the empress an
swered, and dismissed the sage without
further reproof-Dr. Abram S. Isaacs in
Harper's Young People.

Atlantic ectropose-Gentemen For the past
five years my wife has been a sufferer from dys-
pepsia. SO completely did the disease make
wreck of her former self that life was almost des-
paired of. Her nervous system was almost en-
tlrely destroyed, and the slightest noise would
throw her into a nervous spasm, which would
last for hours. Medical skill failed to bring any
relief.
Through the recommendation of an eminent
divine we were induced to Try the EIectropo1se.
After persistent use of the instrument, the eff
feet has been wonderful. Her nervous system
has been restored to its almost normal condition;
her digestion is wonderfully improved she is
rapidly gaining in flesh; and, upon the whole, is
making rapid recovery, which speaks volumes
for the wonderful curative powers of the Electro
pose. as her case was considered hopeless. fany
are skeptical on the subject, let them try the
ElectropoSe, and its wonderful powers will
quickly dispel all doubt. Yours truly,
