sELF-sUPPORT AT COLLEGE.

The instances in which a girl has
succeeded in entirely supporting her
self are very rare, writes Anna Robert
son Brown IN the second article of the
series on ''The Girl Who Goes to Col
lege' in the August Ladies' Home Jour
nal. 1 think she ought not to try to-.
A college course, just as it stands, is
enough for any girl, however strong,
to attempt 20 carry. Extra calls on
her strength are very apt to make her
break down. Most colleges offer schol-
arships, awarded by faculty option, by
competitive examination or by the
giver, but they are, of course, too linn
tied in number to be generally avail
able. But there are several waysin
which a girl may provide for a part of
her expenses. She may borrow money,
with the understanding that it is to be
repaid from the salary received in
teaching after graduation; and some
girls study and teach alternate years.
Tutoring and prizes for scholarship
may be made to help, and reading or
writing by the hour, copying, mend
ing. Office work, cataloguing, drawing
and other technical work for the scion
tifc departments, library-work and
assistance in the laboratories but such
work is often at a serious risk to sehol-
arship or health, or both.

other side of the street." A nan woult
have given no such answer, but would
have stated the distance approximately
in rods or feet.
Il wish you would make this shell
about this much shorter" said a wo
man to a cabinet maker, as she meas
ured off the distance on the hem of hel
apron. The man laughed good,natur
eddy and said, That's just like a wo
man, no idea offeet and inches"
II have no idea whether there are
fifteen or thirty acres in this field, y

along the road with her husband. 81
have no conception of such measure
ments."
A teacher once tried the following
experiment with a mixed class; go
to the board aud mark off a distance
Of six feet; use no guide excepting your
eye" The result Of the marking was
that the boys varied but an inch or so
from the required measurement, while
the girls missed the mark woefully as
over or under estimation of two or
three feet being not exceptional.
The difference all comes in the train
ing, for of course q girl is just as capa-
bic as her brother in such matters, as
far as ability is concerned; the only
difference is that she is not taught to
observe. A good way to aid your
selves, girls, is to obtain by actual
measurement a certain distance, say
from the porch to the gate, or take the
width of the walk, compare with the
eye other distances which are adjacent,
and you will be,surprised how quickly
the eye al train itself.
The power of observation is valuable,
and if it is dormant it can be cultivated
with a little patience.
A great deal of interest was mani.
tested in an observation class on Fri
day afternoons at school. Each pupil
asked a question regarding some famil
lar Surrounding. rs the tree by the
school yard gate walnut or maple?'
"What is the color of the pump9" els
the advertising on Mr.. AS barn in
black or white letters?"
The object is to teach children to see,
and a few such questions as these will
quickly determine with what blind
eyes they have been seeing (f one may
use a paradox
A great deal OF merrimeRt may be
caused at a party by listening to the
descriptions, written by the gentlemen
present, of the ladies' costumes. The
awkward attempts will not rival any
blunder a girl may make in guessing
distances. A man who was describing
tucking, said~that it was one plat
shingled onto another.

SCANDAL.

The story ID told Of woman who
freely used her tongue to the scan
dial Of others, and made . comics
sion to the priest Of what she had
done. He gave her q ripe thistle
top, ana told her to 60 out in vari-
Gus directions and scatter the seeds
one by one. Wondering at the
penance, she obeyed, and then re-
turned and told her confessor. To
her amazement, he babe her 60
back and gather the scattered seeds,
and when she objected that it would
be impossible, he replied that it
would be still more difficult to
gather up and destroy all the evil
reports which she had circulated
about others.
ANY thoughtless, careless child
can scatter . handful Of thistle seed
before the wind in . moment, but
the strongest and wisest man can
not gather them again.

DOESN'T WORK IN NORTH
DAKOTA.

Bishop Stanley. of North Dakota,
who by the way, 10 no friend Of
whisky, which he calls "hell-broth, >
has gotten himself into hot water
by asserting that prohibition As en-
forced in that State is . fraud and
. failure. He says that wholesale
dealers tell him that their sales in
the State are three times as gfeat as
formerly; and the hotel men scarce
" know what to do with the empty
bottles that are left in the rooms by
the guests; that the farmers who
formerly used to take q drink or
two when they came to town, now
keep q five gallon jug, and are tipsy
al the time, and prohibition is fiat
failure and should be done away
with to make room for some prac-
teal method Of regulating the
traffic.

A BAD BEGINNING.

The New Year in New Orleans
seems to have been ushered in red
handed. Four murders and . sui
eide, all within the brief space Of
twenty-four hours and within the
limits Of . city of less than 800, 600
population, is not an suspicious
beginning for 1898.
It seems strange that on the frs
Sabbath for many months that
marked . strict observance Of the
Sunday law, deeds Of blood should
multiply, and men should butcher
their fellow men. Yet with practi-
cally every liquor shop in the city
closed, with Assistant District At
torney Adams construction of the
law carried out to the letter. New
Orleans yesterday witnessed . sort
Of carnival of crime with which here
tofore she has not been familiar on
New Years day. We simply call
attention to this striking coinci-
dence it may or may not be the
cause and effect. We do not as
sert that such . consequence has
naturally en>ued. We only note it
at as At once strange and peculiar.
But whatever be the cause Of yes
terday's red-handedness, it is TO be
deplored that . year SO full Of
promise Of good things should be
marked at its opening by four kill
ings and one unfortunate who
brought his life to . close with his
own hand. It is moi a pleasing
spectacle to look upon. May the
remainder Of the new year be one
Of joy and peace and quietude. Of
contehtment and prosperity.-City
