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

The American college of the middle
of this century, like its English original
existed for the work of the church. If
the college dies the church dies, was the
basis of its appeal for money and infu-
ence. It's duty was to form class Of
educated men in whose hands should
lie the preservation of the creed. In
the mouths of ignorant 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 il came about that
each of the many organizations called
churches in America established its col
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 il 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
We're 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 long struggle between
the American college and the wolf at
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 severe
struggle for existence through which
our colleges have been forced TO pass,
the poor work, low salaries and humili-
ating economics OF the American coll
lege professor, the natural end of whom.

Others have fiery taste that peels off the lin

The Marrying Age for Royalty.


From the Sheffield (EnglanD Telegraph
The Duke of York is now several wears older
than the Prince of Wales was whom he married.
but he is still younger than all the Prince Of
Wales brothers were at the time Of their mar
riage.
The Prince Of Wales was only in his twenty
second year when he married the Princess Alex
ander of Denmark. while the Duke of Edinburgh
waited till he was thirty, and the Duke of Con-
naught and the Duke of Albany till they were
twenty-nine before they entered the married
slate.
The average age Of the four sons Of the queen
on their marriage was, therefore, something be-
tween twentv-seven and twenty-eight wears.
The princesses, daughters of the queen, were
nearly all younger at the time of their mar
riage-the Princess Royal. eighteen: the Princess
Alice. nineteen; the Princess Helena, twenty:
the Princess Louise, twenty-three, and the
Princess Beatrice. twenty eight
This gives an average of about twentv-two.
The Princess Louise Of Wales. eldest dauph
ter OF the Prince Of Wales, WAS Just TWENTY-FIVE
when she married the Duke of Fife three and
half years ago.
The Princess Victoria May of Teck. now aft.
anced to the Duke of York. is twenty-five.

DIR. GALIPPE's MICROBES.
One Of the Most Curious of All Modern
Medical Discoyeries.

One Of the Most Curious of All Modern
Medical Discoveries.
Paris Letter to London Telegraph.
Among all the painful diseases 10 which
human flesh is heir the most agonizing are.
without doubt, those which arise from the
formation Of gravel and stone, the origin and
proper treatment of which have been hereto
fore a matter of mere conjecture During
yesterdays sitting of the Academy of Sciences
q most interesting report was sent in by DR..
Galippe which throws considerable light on
the subject. This savant has devoted over
eight years to continuous Investigations the
results Of which may be briefly summarized as
follows:
All stones found in the human body contain
microbes OF peculiar kind. These microbes
are the authors Of that chemical decomposition
which results in a calcareous deposit Our
organs, even when in a perfectly healthy con-
dition, frequently contain large numbers Of
such parasites, which, however produce no
deleterious effects SO long as the humors of the
body are in normal state. but once we are at
tackled by disease the microbian manifestations,
as ne calls them, set to work TO produce the de-
post which develops into gravel and stone.
The most curious portion of DIR. Galippe's
report is his account of how he proved his
theory by experiment. and having set microbes
the task OF producing little stones had the
grim satisfaction to see it successfully &C.
complished. For this purpose he employed
human saliva. from which, after an experiment
lasting over five years. he obtained hundreds of
little stones. These artificial productions are
in all respects absolutely identical with the
stones found in various organs of the human
tody. The microbes which pr oduce them can
be isolated and cultivated Tuberculous
diseases can be successfully treated by induc-
ing process by which the tubercles become
hard and sravelly. The opinion expressed at
the sitting of the academy was that DIR. Ga
hppes investigation and discoveries had
thrown powerful light upon the origin. pre-
vention and cure of the most agonizing diseases
known to modern medicine.

Why the Germans "Kick. /"

FROM tne saturday Review.
We take it, however, that large sections of the
German masses, if not majority of them, are
for the moment out Of humor with the i'm
perial government From causes which il would
take long TO describe they are feeling the
pressure of the times" as much as anv popu-
lation in Europe: they think themselves over
taxed, as our own population did fifty wears
ago, and they resent the demand for further
taxes as altogether too much for their exhausted
patience. They are angry with their situation
without exactly knowing why-so angry that il
Is said the social democrat vote may be

peals. send up another hostile majority just as

generally. Social democratic IDEAS more
over. have spread among thousands who
do not belong TO that party or intend to belong
to 1t. but who think that II the government
were more nearly in their hands they could
make their burdens less. We suspect too that
as regards the immediate question at issue there
are two ideas at work OF which we do not ac-
curately estimate the force One is a strong
disbelief in the immInence of danger The
specter OF invasion has harassed the present
generation of mature Germans for twenty-five
years; they have grown accustomed TO il and
they have ceased, in a measure. TO regard il
with horror. They half think il will never be
embodied and are unwilling TO make great sac
rifices in order to avert a contingency which
may never happen and which their emperor,
even while preparing for it, admits he sees no
reason Immediately TO expect. The other is a
high degree Of confidence in the army as il
exists. The Germans know all about the las.
war and its victories; they know. also. that
their army is far stronger than il was then.
they do no! quite reaIze the awful weight of
the masses Russia could bring into the field.

FROM BALTIMORE TO WASHINGTON.

Build q Military Road,


A Movement to Induce the Gov.ruu.,t a.,
Build q Military Road.
The Baltimore Sun today says the question
OF seeking state and government aid in build
ing military road to connect Baltimore and
Washington is being discussed by a number of
bufiness men in both cities who are interested
II the enterprise. Mr. Wallace Stebbins of the
firm Of Thomas C. Bas.hor Co. is taking a deem
interest in the proposed road and is working
theoretically to secure the cooperation of
Others to aid him in pushing the project to
successful conclusion. Mr.. Stebbins SAYS q
Well-graded and ballasted road, sufficiently
wide and firm for the movement of large bodies
OF infantry and heavy artillery, would AZ
lord safeguard to the two cities. He saws
further that in case of riots the railroads
could easily be rendered useless by modern
appliances In skillful hands, while a weIl-kept
turnpike could always be serviceable. Mr.
Steoolns' suggestion is that suitable
route be selected, that the state Of MARYLAND
ne asked to construct that part within its
limits and the government nav for that
poruon within the District Of Columbia
Ihere would be no objection. he says, to setting
apart portion Of the roadbed for the use Of
Washington, but the building of such a rail-
way should be restricted as not 20 inter.
fere with other travel on the road Such n
road, he thinks, would be better than the
proposed boulevard, as property would be
enhanced in value il the road could be used
as driving outlet all along the route. Mr..
Stebbins thinks that Congress should be ne
titioned to return to Maryland the sloO 200
lent by taat state for public improvements
when Washington was frs: laid out He says
he at one time suggested this means of raising
the necessary funds to build the road, but did
not press it when he found that the state had
regularly employed agent at Washington who
would receive 80 per cent Of all claims passed
by Congress. Mr.. Stebbins thinks that the
convict labor at the house of correction could
be utilized in building the road.
