What the Freshman is Likely to Cos
Her Parents This Year.


Almost MS culpable as those people
who are continually telling poorly
equipped young women that the city is
eager for their services and that fortunes
are to be acquired by those who don't
know how to work are those who pro-
claim from the roof tops that college
educations may be had for the mere
asking. As fur as tuition is concerned
this is true of many places. The State
universities remit tuition. Many of the
colleges are provided with scholarship
funds, which enable them to give their
advantages to certain pupils without
cost. Girls who live in the place where
the colleges are situated may live at
home ut no greater cost than Ii they
were not attending college. But the
average student has to pay for board,
lodging and tuition and any number of
additional things, which make the 81
and So week estimates absurd.
The cheapest case on record is that
of girl who managed, by living at her
own home, attending State university
and denying herself ali the conveniences
and luXuries of life, to get through
year Of college at a cost of sos. Her car
fare was $3.50 term. Her books, which
were bought at secondhand when they
could not be borrowed, cost $24.25 for
the year. For class dues she spent So. 10
during the year. For clothing she spent
| $14.40, her hats and dresses being made
at home. She paid, besides, a matricua-
ton fee and bought Il copy of her col
| lege annual.
Now, colleges are democratic places.
Nowhere else is woman so honestly
taken ON her merits, instead of her pos
sessions. But no girl could go through
| college on such a sum as that without
feeling her poverty keenly at times,
although not through the fault of her
associates. She could attend no evening
socials or lectures, for that would mean
an evening frock and more car fare
She could belong to no college society,
for that would require the payment of
society fees. She could take part iii no
impromptu Spreads" where every girl
contributed little. She would be shut
out Of the college life as completely as
though she did not attend the institu-
ton. In some cases the gain might be
worth the humiliation and sacrifice, but
any young woman who intends to make
such venture should be prepared for a
good deal of renunciation in small
way.
In most places girl will have to pay
her tuition, which is likely to be 500.
Her board and lodging will cost, at a
moderate estimate, So week for the
thirty-siX weeks of the college year.
Books will cost her about $50. Gym
nasium and mGtriculation fees will add
$l5 to the list Glass and society fees
will be SO more. Clothing need not cost
more than that of girl not in college.
In fact, less expenditure may be counted
upon, and 500 may keep the girl always
presentable who is trying to so through
college on reasonable sum. Already
the total is $466, and if travelling ex-
penses are heavy, $500 year is any
thing but an eXtrayagant estimate for
the college girls expenses.

Extent of the Industry on the Baltic Sea
What Amber Is.

Philadelphia record.
The greatest amber mines in the world,
the Anna and the Pslmnicken, are
located on the north coast of the Baltic
Sea, and supplies over 90 per cent of
the amberoid sold in the markets of
Europe, Great Britain, Asia, Japan,
China and America. Amberoid is the
result of small pieces of amber COM
pressed into one solid mass of hydraulic
pressure. There are employed in these
mines and manufacturing processes
about 1900 people, who prepare the
products for the market ready for the
manufacturer. The output in the crude
material amounts annually to about
100000.
Amber is the gum of confer, but of
what species no one knows. 1t belonged
to the first period of vegetation Of the
earth. No one knows in what climate
these trees grew, and no fossil traces of
them are left for the geologist. 1t is
not improbable that they produced
amber and were stately trees millions
of years ago DIR. r. Klebs of Konigs-
berg, the highest authority on this sub
iect in the world, says there are 1900
different varieties of insects found i'm
prisoned in amber, and this gives us q
pretty correct idea of the fauna in the
remote age in which they lived. They
give us, besides, evidences Of that period
of which we have no other trace. 1t is
very interesting to compare these insects
with those now existing, as the common
fly, for example. Others, again, are
entirely different, showing extinct
species. Dr. Kleb's theory is that the
amber was carried to East Prussia dur.
ing the glacial epoch and embedded in
the blue earth where it was found
This blue earth is very heavy clay
and the strata vary in thickness from
three to 81 feet. DR.. Klebs considers
that this embedding process occurred
in what biologists term the tertiary
period.
The right to mine amber or to take il
from the sea dates back to the time thu
first knights who colonized East Prussia
appeared - in the fifteenth century
They had the primary right to mine
Subsequently the right merged in tht
government, which granted the priv
lege to private parties for an annua
consideration. The firm pays to thu
Prussian government every year 100000
marks for the right, which equals abou
| S250,000.

Her windows all look northward,
My neghbor's across the way.
My windows are draped with curtains
OF lace, like lilmy spray;
She has only shades of linen,
The lady across the way.
There are diamond rings on my fingers
That over the easement stray;
] have never noticed any
On my neighbours across the way.
But what cares she for sunlight,
The lady over the way,
When baby face illumines the place
Like the light Of summers day.
What need has she for curtains
OF rare and costly lace
When the light shines through golden

OF curis round baby's face?
Jewels are plenty for money,
But cold to the light that lies
Rejecting the image of souls that meet
III the heaven Of baby's eyes.
And sat alone in the darkness
When night comes down, and pray
That God will keep her treasure safe
For the woman across the way.

COOKING WATER.
Even That Simple Branch of House
keeping Not Understood.

keeping Not Understood.
One of the secrets of palatable food is
knowing how to cook water. The secret
is to put fresh filtered water into clean
kettle already warm, to let it boil
quickly and to use it the instant it is
boiled. 70 let it steam and simmer
means TO have combination Of lime,
iron and dregs in the kettle and all the
good water evaporated into air.
1t is surprising that many house
keepers, otherwise neat and particular,
seem to think that the kettle will stay
clean without active measures on their
part. The mere fact that nothing but
water is boiled in it does not guarantee
it against the need of securing. 1t will
soon become coated with aiusty-looking
layer of slime, unless it receives the same
care as other cooking utensils. Food
cooked with water which is not properly
boiled or which is boiled in kettle
coated with dregs, has not the same
flavor that properly cooked food has.
Moreover, il is dangerous to health.

Only rs Old rs She Looks.

There is common sense as well as
compliment in the phrase, "a man is
only IS old as he feels" and it is of a
broader truth than the kindred saying,
"a woman is only as old as she looks"
Old age is greatly matter of personal
decision. One may stave it off by a
merry heart or invite it by moping.
Some one said once of a French.
woman, "She has not yet lost the old
habit of being young" speech which
recalls clever one of the English
Lady Clifford. A little girl once said to
her:
"Do tell me, are you old or young? l
never can make Quit"
My dear" said she, 81 have been
young a very long time"
Old Lady Hardwickc, who died at 95,
was vigorous to the last, and her elderly
daughters were like unto her. A visitor
was one day astonished to see one of
them, 76 years old, running up stairs
and crying out, Mamma, mamma =
