will before long rival not merely New
York City but the entire East in the
extent Of it's products and, if we are
not false prophets, In their superior
character as well. New York is the
cosmopolitan city OF this country.
Although its manufacturing interests
are confessedly enormous, still we
must admit that it has been built I'D
by the foreigner, and It's prosperity
has been largely the result of the
sact that 1t was, as it still is, the
great port OF communication between
she old and the new world. And
yet, with all its enormous adyan-
tages Of location. with its long start
In years and its great power of ac-
cummulated capital In its favor, New
York is being Outstripped in the race
by Its younger but far more am
bilious and enterprising rival. And
we must not forget either, in esti-
mating what Chicago has done, that
1t has been accomplished in the face
OF obstacles, indeed, of disasters like
the great fire, such as never visited
New York.

So far as the income and equipment
go our American universities compare
very fayorably with some of the far
famed European ones. For instance
Cornell and the University OF Halle had
each about the same number of students
last year. Halle, however, had an in.
ccme of only 1916, 900, of which Sl70..
600 were derived from the State aud
SIS, 900 from investments, while Cornell
had an income of S52l,0d $4,000 of
which came from the Government aud
$3.50, 900 from invested capital. The
library OF Halle cost Sl2, 900, aud that
at Cornell $23, 900 Harvard had al
income last year of 1906, 900. to $500,
600 for Paris, 1928, 900 for Berlin and
$50, 600 for Columbia. The showing
is one of which Americans may feel
proud. boston Journal.

Wigs For Young men.

"There are more bald-headed young
men in leading Washington social
circles" said the supplier of hirsute de-
ficiencies to the Herald scribe, ethan
people would think. But that is be-
cause very little of it is revealed to the
curious glance. You see, most of the
young men grow bald immediately above
the forehead, which leaves a triangular
space, or on the centre of the head. The
first place is very easily concealed by
patch which looks as natural as the real
thing. These patches are readily ad
iusted aud may be brushed in any style.
They are rather expensive, though
that is, if a man desires something which
will completely battle the attempts OF
the suspicious at detection and cost all
the way from 800 to $3.50, according to
size aud finish.
81 could name twenty young men
who sport these patches, aad whose hair
is universally admired by the fair sex,
but, of course, l wouldn't. C1ncernlng
the particular spot on top OF toe head,
in which the hair is especially fseting,
any number OF men whose ages range
between twenty five aud forty are so
decorated. They do not come 50 high
as the irst-named prices, but are just as
easily adjusted, and present the same
impenetrable finish. There are not many
of the complete wigs sold, like there
were fifteen or twenty years ago. In

There is an odd story told by a Nor
tolk (England) vicar OF one Of his
parishioners who was married by in
stalments. He had gone to church
with his bride, and had expressed his
readiness to forsake all others and
keep only to her as long as they both
should live.
When it came to the young woman's
turn, however, she was not so minded.
No persuasion could make her agree
to her share of the bargain. Plead
ing and storming were alike in vain,
and at last the intended couple left
the church no more to each other
than when they entered it. The
village people stared to find that the
would-be bridegroom was an even
more ardent lover after this incident
than before it.
He laid steady siege to the heart of
the tickle fair one, and at last induced
her to 90 to church with him again.
His scheme was to get her there and
leave her in the lurch. as she had left
him. Unluckily for its success, he
had taken a looSe-tongued e9mrade
into his confidence.
The vicar had got wind of It and
was prepared. To the horror of the
conspirator he proposed to take up
the marriage service where it was
left off on the former occasion, and
getting a ready assent from the young
woman to fulfill the condiditions she
had previously declined, went on
without hirdrance to the end, and
bound the disguised bridegroom
tightly to the expected object Of his re-
venge.
This YVES great sport to t;ie ricar,
but no laughing matter to the poor
wretch who found the Joke turned so
completely against himself. The
vicar never moved a muscle, although
inwardly he must have been explod-
ing. His levity leaned to virtues
side. Was it not inflicting proper
punishment on the mind who would
have made fool of his parson and a
mockery of the marriage service to
pay an old score? Was he not guard
ing the sanctity of the marriage cere-
mony from vulgar ribaldry? Prob
ably; but, at the same time, he was
furnishing the young woman much
more effectually than if he had let
the rascal jilt her.

Keen tho p,r.l.a.ys.

Keep the birthdays religiously-
They belong exclusively to. and are
treasured among the sweetest memo
ries of home. Do not let anything
prevent some token. DO it ever so
slight, to show that 1t is remembered.
Birthdays are great events to chill
dren. For one day thcy feel that
they are heroes The special pud-
ding is made expressly for them:
new jacket, or trousers with pockets,
or the first pair of boots, are donned;
and big brothers and sisters sink into
;nsigniflcance beside ''little Charlie"
who is six to-day" and is soon ''go-
ing to be a man."
Fathers who have half a dozen lit
tie ones to care for. are apt to neglect
birthdays, they come too often
sometimes when they are busy, and
sometimes when they 'arc nervous"
but If they only knew how much such
gouvenirs are cherished by their pet
Susy or Harry years afterwards, when
away from the hearthstone, they
have none to remind them that they
have added one more year to the per-
haps weary round of life, or to wish
them in the fashioned phrase,
many happy returns of their BIRTH
day. they would never permit any
cause to step between them and u

A veteran sailor, Captain Eastwick,
declares that of all the women with
whom be was ever at sea, he never
met more than one who could refrain
from asking questions in moments Of
extreme peril and urgency. That one
was his wife, and elsewhere In his
autobiography he pays another trib-
ute to her courageous disposition. He
had just ridden out gale with much
difficulty In the Indian Ocean, when
he was sighted by two Dutch brigs OF
war, which Immediately gave chase.
He ordered all sail spread, but his
ship was insutflciently manned and
much precious time was lost.
1t was morning, and my wife had
come on deck, and stood with my
glass in hand looking at the two briggs,
while l had myself taken the wheel,
SO as to spare every man for the
urgent work aloft. Every minute l
glanced back over my shoulder to see
the position Of the enemy. They
had every stitch OF canvas spread,
and were sailing three feet for Cur
two.
A great feeling Of dependency
came over me as | saw this and
thought of my young wife standing
there in front of me, and Of the fate
that might be in store for her. And
then, to increase the danger, the
brigs opened fire, and shot came
skipping after us, but fell short.
In a few minutes more they fred
again, and now 1t was evident that
we should soon be In range, and |
called to my wife to go below. But
she refused to do so. Another shot
came closer to us than any previous
one, and | shouted to my crew up
aloft to redouble their exertions; but
they, unable to cope with the work
in hand, answered that they wanted
help.
There was only myself left who
could aid them, and ! dared not leave
the wheel. We were sailing close to
the wind, and any deviation from
our course might throw all sails
aback, and be our ruin.
Ny wife perceived my extremity,
During the voyage she had three or
four times, by way OF amusement,
taken q short trick at the wheel.
This gave her confidence for the occa-
sion, and without moments hesita-
tion she ran to my side.
"Giye me the wheel, Robert, she
CRED, land you go help! l will do
my best to keep her head up"
There was no time to demonstrate,
and indeed her assistance came like
aid from heaven. With blessing
for her pluck handed the helm over
to her, and darted up the shrouds.
As soon as the crew saw what had
occurred, the noble example seemed
to animate them with new vigor, and
when | Joined them, and was able to
assist as well as direct, we managed
to complete the bending on the fore
sail.
The shots from the Dutchmen wero
coming fast and thick now, but hope
was in our hearts. Sail by sail we
got splendid spread OF canvas on
the Endeayor, and as each fresh one
began TO draw, we first held our own,
and then gradually left our enemy
behind; and when, after an hours
work, / returned TO deck, we we're
practically out OF danger.
Then one of the men took of his
cap and called for three cheers for
the Captains wife, and never, /
think. did any lady at sea receive
such compliment as burst from the
Threats Of those rough men, whose
best instincts had been appealed to
by the brave deed they thus spon-
taneously applauded.

Appearance of the Great Inland Metroplil
Sixty Years Ago.
The picture of Chicago, as it was
about sixty years ago, shows that the
inland metropolis has grown to be
what 1t Is, practically within the
last half century. Statistics of this
growth would incline US to believe
that it will, before many years, sur.
pass New York in the extent Of its
population and commerce. Chicago
is pre-eminently an American city,
indeed, it is the American city. Its
commerce has been American, it has
been the great mart Of the West.
First nothing but a distributing
point, it is now rapidly developing to
be a great manufacturing center that

Sweet homely phrase 50 often spoke
Among the kinder country folk,
When youthful love they smile to see
"These two are keeping company"
In fuller and in higher sense
Through years of rich experience,
Dear love it's true OF you and me-
We've kept each Others company.
In joy we've sought each others eyes
To share the gladness ard surprise,
In pain, life's utmost test of i'll,
Our hearts have chung together still.
In absence-wori with anguish frausht-
We have kept company in thought,
And learned that leagues OF distance may
Serve but to spur love on its way.

Before the mystery of death.
Yet love is great seem to know
That where thou goest l will go;
And in Gods great eternity
Our souls shall still keep company.
