MRS. LOGAN'S EARLY DAYS.
Eappy Memories Recalled by the Widow

OF the Famous Illinois General.
"With me the memory of the Christ
mas holidays of my child and girlhood
will ever be one of the most sacred and
sweet of my life, from the larks of the
school children. when l was one of
them, in barring in or out the teacher
till he or she gave us a holiday and q

warm embraces of those revered and
indulgent parents. can never forget
the happy hours that followed in dis
playing our treasures and coming to
the table to see father and mother
open the numberless packages that we
used to. prepare for them. The hours
that we brothers and sisters spent in
planning and executing our surprises
for mother. father and each other, with
the merry episodes, mishaps and sue
cesses and pleasures, will cling to US
evermore. The madcap fun we used
to have sleigh riding and the merry
dancing and candy pulling with the
troops of boys and girls that were our
friends. How well we remember the
sparkling wood fire in the ample old
fireplace, with rows of apples toasting
before it, the great dishes of popcorn,
popped in a covered kettle, SO white
and fresh and tender: the sweet, rich
nuts and the crystal cider for the even
ings when we assembled in each others
homes for good time and to play
games of forfeit and chance! For gen
uine pleasure those times have never
been surpassed by the stately occasions
of maturer years, and more than once
our hearts have longed for those happy

AMERICAN COLLEGES.
Why They Have Had an Unnaturally Severe
Struggle for Existence.

The American college of the middle
existed for the work of the church. If
the college dies the church dies was the
basis of its appeal for money and influ-
ence. Its duty was to form class of
educated men in whose hands should
lie the preservation of the creed. In
the mouths ofignorant men the truths
of the church would be clouded Each
wise church would see that its wisdom
be not marred by human folly.
The needs of one church indicated the
needs of others. So it came about that
each of the many organizations called
churches in America established its coll
leges here and there about the country,
all based on the same general plan.
And as the little towns on the rivers
and prairies grew with the progress of
the country into large cities, so it was
thought, by some mysterious virtue of
inward expansion, these little schools
in time would grow to be great univer-
sites. And in this optimistic spirit the
future was forestalled and the schools
were called universities from the be-
ginning. AS time went on it appeared
that a university could not be made
without money, and the source OF
money must be outside the schools. And
so has ensued a long struggle between
the American college and the wolf al
! the door-a tedious, belittling conflict
which has done much to lower the name
and dignity of higher education.
To this educational planting without
watering, repeated again and again
east and west, north and south, must
be ascribed the unnaturally sever,
struggle for existence through which
our colleges have been forced to pass
the poor work, low salaries and humili
ating economies of the American col
| lege professor, the natural end of whom

Some of the Newest and Most Popular

There is no question of household
aesthetics more carefully considered
nowadays by the fashionable hostess
than that of artificial light. The glare
of glass is deemed by her to be very in
harmonious with artistic and luxurious
surroundings, being only appropriate,
according to her ideas, for halls and
offices. She tabooes it entirely from
her drawing-room, wells it with silk
shades in the dining-room, and uses it
under protest in the family bedrooms,
insisting, however, on wax candles and
shaded lamps in her own room and
boudoir. A chandelier is to her an ab-
horrence, and where her bathrooms
and reception-rooms are so very large
that gas is necessity, she uses brack-

AUNT JEMlMA'S QUILT.

A miracle OF cleaning dyes,
Blue, scarlet bun ana green;
o ne'er before by mortal eyes
Such gorgeous hues were seenl
So grandly was its plan designed,
So cunningly twas built
The whole proclaimed n master mind
My Aunt Jemima's quilt
Each friendly household far and wide
Contributed its share;
1t chronicled the country side
In colors quaint and rare.
From bellies and brides came rich brocade
Eawrought with threads of gilt;
Fen buxom widows lent their aid
To Aunt Jemima's quilt
No tapestry from days Of yore
No web from Orient loom,
But paled in beauteous tints before
This strange expanse OF bloom
Here glittering stars and comets shone
Der flowers that never wilt;
Here fiuttered birds from worlds unknown
On Aunt Jcmlma's quilt
o, merry was the quilting bee,
When this great quilt was done;
Tho rafters rang with maiden glee,
And hearts were lost and won.
N2'er did a throng OF braver men
In war clash hilt TO hilt,
Than sought the smiles OF beauty then
Round Aunt Jemima's quilt
This work Of art my aunt esteemed
The glory OF the age;
No poets eyes have ever beamed
More proudly DER his page
Were other quilts to this compared.
Her nose would upward tilt;
Such impudence was seldom dared
Ger Aunt JemiIna's quilt
Her dear old hands have gone TO dust
That once were 1.-THE and light;
Her needles keen are thick with rust,
That flashed so nlmbly bright
And here It lies by her behest,
Stained with the tears we split
Safe folded in this cedar chest
