New York's Fine Nnmesalke.

The largest and finest American war ves-
sci ever built will take to the water this
week on Wednesday, and she will wear the
name OF the Empire State.
There have been other New Yorks in our
navy. Two Of them were small craft, dat
ing back to tho days Of naval conflict with
the British. A third was a Seton frigote
that after fifteen years of service ended her
career at Washington In 1914. Another was
T4-gun ship. built, We believe. in 1878. ana
destroyed at the Gosport Navy Yard in
1861. when Norfolk was abandoned; while
still another. OF .527 tons displacement. after
being left many years on tho stocks ut
Brooklyn unfinished. was broken up. as tho
nge Of steel hulls had meanwhile come In.
But tho best OF all these ships sinks to
insigniflcance compared with the splendid
s,15o-ton armored cruiser now to be
launched at Philadelphia.
The New York will be the most imposing
OF all the vessels which will be ready to take
part in the great naval review of 1893. With
1,5O0 tons more displacement than the
Maine, with 5000 more horse power than tho
fastest Of our present cruisers. she will form
a combination OF speod. coal endurance.
armor protection. and battery power which
stands alone In our navy. and makes her
type Of al-around efficiency.
The Pirate will be faster: the Maine will
carry larger guns: tho Indiana will have
much thicker armor and heavier battery
power. But with her twenty knots. her
$4,000 miles Of coal endurance ut ten knots.
and her heavy barbettes and gun shields.
the New York will far surpass the Pirate and
her mate in armor protection and fighting
power. tho Maine and the Texas In speed
and hardness. and tho Indiana and Oregon
in speed and radius OF action. Her free
board and size will allow her to fight her
guns and keep up her gait in seas that
would paralyze smaller craft
The big war ship will be worthy of the
great State that stands sponsor for her.

College Popularity.

It is asserted by u writer in current
number Of tho North American Reriew thGt
q workable student at Harvard, that Is to
say. a youth who applies himself indus
triously to the tasks prescribed In the
college curriculum. is an object OF disdain to
his fellow undergraduates. or. to use tho
writer's phrase. o social outcast There Is
nothing new about the accusation; 1t has
been familiar to generations OF university
men. The slur was cast upon Harvard
thirty years ago. and In England 1t Is flung
with equal vehemence not only at Oxford
and Cambridge. but at tho great public
schools. including cOnspicuously Eton and
Harrow. There Is some ground for 1t. but
nothing like as much as they who lnunch 1t
suppose. or as might be imagined by out
slders observing the attention paid to inter-
collegiate contests ut football or boat
racing. Lot us soc II we can define the con-
ditions under which devotion to ncademical
work IL respected or ls contemned
A university Is a microcosm In this sense,
that its denlzens arc brought for consld-
cradle period into close contact at many
points: that they are subjected to various
tests. official and extra-academical. and that
they learn to become tolerable Judges Of
character and conduct. aud to balance one
aptitude or achievement against another.
What ls more relevant. microcosm is. after
all, not O macrocosm-the college world is
not the larger world-and the mass OF
young men. while still undergraduates.
become alive to the difference. BY instinct
or intuition they eventually recognize that
university. at best. is but the vestibule Of
active existence: that tho preparation
which 1t offers does not. on the whole. con-
template continuance OF academical pur-
suits. but tho exercise OF functions diverse
not only in degree. but in kind. They dis
cover that the purpose Of a college is not
to train boys to become college tutors and
professors. and that any institution which
should set such an aim before 1t would forth
with forfeit Its claim to general usefulness.
Even were they not made aware Of this BY

Gamblers are proverbially superstitious.
and actors are said to be more Superstitious
upon tho whole than tho members of any
other profession. SO 1t is not surprising that
the late Mr. FIoRENCE's forthcoming book on
draw poker should contain such rule as this:
Push your luck when winning, stay out when
losing until n little better hand than the Gv-
ernGc comes to you.' This contains the whole
Of tho orthodox superstition of luck. No one
will be surprised to find it in this place: and
yet has tho word luck been mentioned Mt any
time in tho last nfty years in any book on

cussion Of any game that has been made tho

Lady HENRY SoMERsEr's midnight visit
to tho dormitories Of the ten-cent lodging
houses. to crowded tenement houses. and to
Shiny cellars where peddlers sleep on heaps
Of rags. may have been full OF interest and in
struction: 1t may have stirred the lady's phil
anthropic heart and stamped upon her memory
grim silhouettes Of poverty and wretchedness.
The visit undoubtedly gratilcd fairly woll-
meaning and not unnatural curiosity.
One OF tho greatest evils Of poverty. it may
perhaps occur to Lady HENRY SOMERSET. is the
absence Of privacy. the lack Of independence.

This is true enough. but climate. east wind or

cult to acquire gentle voice in New
England. For tho utterance of the French
nasals tho native New England organs
OF speech seem we'll adapted. but an
undue development Of the nasal passages
doesn't contucc to tho production of n voice
which has truo gentle sound. Many New
