twenty-three teachers have been furnished
to NaSsar from her own graduates, one in
structor to the Massachusetts, Institute Of
Technology, two professors and two teachers
to Wellesley, and two teachers to Smith
Many are at the head of private schools Of
their own Others are teaching in high and
normal schools No statistics can messu g
the influence these women have had on the
education OF the present generation,
There are thirty-nine under the head Of
literary workers. TWENTY-FIVE graduates
have received the degree NJ. D., and
nearly all are Dracticing physicians. Eleven
out of the twenty-five have married, a fact
which does not seem TO have interfered
with their professional work. There are
sixteen in the division of art instructors,
which means giving other than book in
struction. music. painting, industrial work
and physical training. Eight are carrying
on scientific researches in biology, physi-
ology, Mathematics and chemistry. Four
announce themselves as farmers Two are
helping to make dictionaries as editors on
the Century and Webster's Unabridged
Two are engaged in astronomical work
one at the Harvard and the other at the
ale observatory. 1t is shown that, be-
sides matrimony and teaching, thirty-seven
different occupations have been assumaa by
Nassar graduates.

the New York Tribune, to hear the artless

And speaking of athletes, says Clara
Belle in the st. Louis Republic, reminds me
nf xrh
swell up town athletic club. The ladies-it
was ladies' day-were invited to witness
game of water polo in the swimming tank,
Water polo, may inform you, is terrific
scramble to pass ball to one or the other
end Of the tank. During this struggle the
young men assume most extravaganza pos
lures, the stronger standing the weaker on
their heads and nearly drowning them, so
that when they come to the surface they
are oftentimes quite bereft of their senses
Well, you say, but tell US about the furry.
I'm coming to that. But to appreciate the
full force of the occurrence, you must
know that Teddy s. has been en-
gagged for a year or SO to Flora
G. The boys all know it, and have
been cudgeling their brains to explain
why the couple didn't get married Teddy
took part in the water polo against Bos-
ton team, and a big, burly fellow, to get
rid of Teddy, calmly pushed him under the
water and put leg over him. After three
or four minutes it occurred TO the Boston
Hercules that Teddy was under the water,
and he allowed him to come up to blow.
Apparently, Flora. who was standing in
the front row of tie spectators, hadn't
missed her Teddy, when suddenly a terrific
cry, half way between shrek and a
strangle, smote her ears:
Floral Floraw
For an instant there was dead silence in
that huge tank Of Croton water and eighteen
hnman bullfrogs, and then with one voice
the two teams took up the cry.
Floral Floram until the very roof trem-
bled. Then came the finrry. In pushing
Teddy under the water the Boston Hercules
had rent the bathing shirt of the New York
dude, and that garment had disappeared in
the scrimmage. Here I draw the curtain.
But should add that tho match between
Teddy and Flora is off, and that many of
the careful uptown mothers have forbidden
their daughters TO attend any more of these
bullfrog scrembles.
An incident which was rather an unusual
case of reversal of the accepted order of
things took place on a Broadway car one
morning last week, says the New York
Times. Near Twenty-eighth street a gem
tleman no longer young, but still far from
old, got on, and moment later attempted
to pay his fare. He searched in his change
pockets, evidently finding nothing. He then
took out roll of bills and selected one,
which he offered to the conductor 1t was
a ten-dollar bill. and the conductor could
not change it, Nor could any of the several
other men in the car do SO. The passenger
fumbled again tn ough his pockets and
brought forth two stray pennies. The con-
Guctor hesitated, seeming undecided Just
what course to pursue, when handsomely
dressed woman seated opposite cut the Cor
dian knot. Quickly opening her purse, she
produced the needed cents, which she ex-
tended to the somewhat disconnected pas
senger.
"Please allow me,n she said, with rich
color in her face.
There was just an instant's hesitation
while the two glances met; then, as frankly
as it was offered, the courtesy was taken.
The man said THANK you" and lifted his
hat, raising it q second time when she left
the car a few blocks below. Perhaps it
wasn't English good form, and maybe the
young woman for she was young, in her
early twenties, evidently, was a little off,
cious, but it was, after all, just an evidence
Of the good American desire to help a
brother out Of a difficulty, small or great.
Mrs. Dick looked guilty, says the New
York World. Then she gave giggle that
had no heart in it. Then she got red in the
face. Then at last she said, and there were
tears in her eyes, Tommy, I've got it on"
Mrs. Tom said, ''Not reallyP' and Mrs.
Dick said, "Yes, and Pm so ashamed Of my
