What London Teaches Us.

London will teach you that it is possible
for the streets in the busiest CITY in the
world to be kept sorupulously clean. writes
Edward w. Box in the August Ladies'
Home journal. It will teach Americans,
too, that a city can be paved 30 as to with
stand the inroads of heavy traffic and yet
be 4 luxury for ono to drive on any of its
streets. We may teach them how to build
the cars, but they can teach us how to con-
struct safe railroads. Where the Ameri-
can railroad Rrsdes a crossing and en-
dangers life, the English road builds a
tunnel and protects the public. The wooden
piers along our river fronts are nightmares
when you see those buttresses of masonry
in England. The American housewife ia
taught how beautiful the humblest home
can look when fiowers bloom from every
window in it, and gardens look like spots
OF paradise. The English woman can teach
her American sister the great secret Of
keeping young by refusing to IVORY. She
Knows that worry means premature age,
and she has too high n regard for her health
to endanger it with what she knows will
not avail. The English girl will teach the
pride of every American that thu founda-
ton of the best health is exerc,se mud
plenty Of 1t, and that healthy gIrlhood IL
the stepping stone to the best vifehood and
motierhood; though, in every other re-
speot, the American girl can stand COM
pRrlson.

COLLEGE OUNCES.

Opportunities Come to the Officer Who
Hslds the Left"
When the luckless West Point cadet who
brought up the rear of the graduating class
appeared before Secretary Proctor for his
diploma, that dianitary first disconnected
him with a fixed and strong gaze, then re-
assured hin with the kindly remark:
well, young gentleman. the officer who
holds the left of the line has sometimes
great opI ortunities."
The man who holds the last place in the
graduating class to-day is q general object
of commissration. says the Chicago Mail.
At him the shafts of wit are lsveled, and
the scornful elancss of the faculty directed.
Not for him is tbs glory of ~pronouncing
impassioned eulogies upon the great men
of the past. The %hackneyed pathos of
the ysleaiotory, and the labored joyous
ness OF the salutatory do not engage his
slnggish and uninspired per. While tho
shining class has been industriously crib
b,ng the great thoughts of great authors
for incorporation in their own genius born

nninatlons, or making Typographical sur

discovering a line of retreat to the railway
station uninfested with c!e .itors, and free
from the presence of diseased college win
dows. Commencement week is a very sorry
time for thu "~tail-enders."
But somehow, after desc ting the sacred
precincts of alma mater. he is surprised to
discover that not only does the needless
world not know that he Jagged superfluous
at a class end. but that nobody cares
whether no ever saw a college at
all. This is a surprise to him,
but a veritable shock to the valodicterians,
"hcnor men" and other shining lights Of
tho college, who expect to be greeted with
ehusion by u woeld eager for orato,y md
crying loud for prize poems in Alsxandrine
meter. Here is where the Ounce finds his
advantage. Encouraged by the fact that
no one seems to care about his college
record, he braces up. The "honor man."

appreciation of the vulgar world, loses

the understanding that they were not
to be recorded except in case of his
death. The papers were promptly rs
corded. however, and King as prompt
" repented of his act
He began suit to have the title claimed
by Mrs Pillow declared void, on the
ground that he had never executed the
and that she had obtained possession of
them surreptitiouslv.
