AnImportant Influence.

One phase OF the movement known as
university extension has not received due
attention What can the system do toward
directing the reading Of the young into
proper channels

of the reading Of the young is novel read

deniable evil In meeting it two methods
have been used Oue--the old method
consists In diAcouragiug such reading
There arr still parts Of our country under
Puritan influence in which this is the only
method conscientiously used The result Is
q resorting 10 the street la the case OF boys
and TO gossip in the case u girls.
The new mcthod-which might also he
called the po>itise-consists in putting into
the hands Of the young other reading than
novels and exciting lively interest in t.
This requires an effort, but the end Is well
worthy such expenditure Of energy and
money.-kHte Fields Washington.

wealthy patrons of his establishment
send tramps and paupcrs there with
notes saying. MIR. B., give this man a
pound of crackers and box of sardines,"
or the bearer would like four bundles
of kindling and pound of coffee"
The applicants get the stuff because the
grocer wants to retain the custom of
those who send them and who have not
the slightest intention Of paying for
goods thus given away. Its pretty
cheap charity for these rich people to en-
gage in, says he, but my experience is
