One Dollar Per Year,
WOMEN'S COLLEGES.
What President Eliot, of Harvard, Thinks
About Them.

In the fifth lecture of his Lowell in
stitute course, this season, President
Eliot, of Harvard university, spoke OF
the development of women's colleges
After enumerating the opening OF the
several colleges and annexes, President
Eliot is represented in the Boston Her
aid as saying: These womens colleges
will hardly come to be equal to colleges
for men for years to come They have
not had the time to get together the
necessary laboratories, collections and
libraries, or to obtain properly trained
teachers. Besides, highly-educated
men, as rule, prefer to teach in mems
colleges.
AS to the last statement, is President
Eliot sure he is right? The corps of
professors at Bryn Mawr college, for
instance, would indicate that he can
not be quite so certain. Conceding
that his statement in regard to this
matter is true, is the reason to lie
found in the fact that young women
are the students instead of young men,
or in the fact that lesser salaries are
paid? When in the course of time the
woman's colleges become thoroughly
equipped in all their departments of
work, and can afford to pay large sal
aries, will the highly educated men, as
a rule, prefer to teach men?
Another Boston paper represented
President Eliot as saying: THE fate
of co.education in this country is not
yet quite apparent. 1t is more popu-
lar in the west than in the east, where
colleges especially for women seemed
to be preferred" The presidents men,
DRY should be logged with bit of his
tory. When the demand was made for
higher educational opportunities for
women, the established colleges in the
west, one after another, opened their
doors to women. In the east most OF
the established colleges selfishly and
stubbornly refused to admit women,
so that the matter of preference would
not seem to be a matter of choice. -

How to Drink. MILK.

Some complain, says a. contemporary,
that they cannot drink milk without
being distressed by it," The most
common reason why milk is not well
borne is due to the fact that people
drink it too quickly If glass of milk
is swallowed hastily, it enters the
stomach and then forms in one solid,
curdled mass, difficult of digestion. If,
on the other hand, the same quantity is
slipped, and three minutes at lcass are
occupied in drinking it, then on reach
ing the stomach it Is SO divided that
when coagulated, as It must be by the
gastric juice, while digestion is going
on, instead of being one hard, con-
densed mass, upon tie outside of which
only the digestive fluids can act. it is
more in ths form of sponge, and in
and out of the entire bulk the gastric
juice can play freely ard perform it's
functions

Using that wonderful structure, the
Brooklyn Bridge as the foundation for
a smile, the writer applied the same
most aptly to the building of a human
life.
Mans nature is two.fold, physical
and mental, therefore the develop
ment must be two-fold.
1t has been said that we spend half
our lives in living and the other half
in thinking OF it. A being fitted to in
habit the future Utopia, is one who
will spend both halves of life in the
highest plain of true living-in the

human development.
