The spiritual and intellectual food of
Yale in the early days was substantial if
not very palatable and so was the material
supply. For breakfast, one loaf Of bread
for four, which (the dough- was to "weigh
one pound. For dinner for four, one loaf
Of bread, two and half pounds Of beef,
veal or mutton, or one and thrue-quarter
pounds salt pork about twice a week in tho
summer time, one quart beer, two penny
worth of sauce (yegotables). For supper
for four, two quarts Of milk and one loaf
of bread, when milk can conveniently be
had, and when II cannot then apple pie,
which shall be made Of one and three
fourths pounds dough, one-quarter pound
hog's fat, two ounces Of sugar and half
peck of apples"
Doubtless poverty dictated the quantity
OF sugar, but was there not kind Of provi-
dence In making such indigestlble food not
over palatable? There was buttery con.
nectod with the college where articles
which appealed to the appetite were placed
in safe hands TO ascertain how far students
were expensive IN their habits and to pre-
vent them from runninginto debt It also
provided place where drinkables Of not
very stimulating qualities were sold, to re-
move the temptation OF going abroad after
spirituous llquols.-Chicago Herald.

Miss Josephine Lazarus publishes in The
Century thoughtful sketch OF the career
ofLouisa May Alcott, the childrens author,
from which we quote these paragraphs:
Strangely enough, In her works, which
are the counterpart of her life, her defect
becomes merit, and accounts for their
phenomenal success. What was II in Miss
ALcott's books that surprised and delighted
the children of score Of years ago, and
that still holds Its charm for the childhood
of todayY Was It new world thGt she
discoyered-a fairyland Of imagination and
romance, pcopled by heroes end enchanted
beingsy Far from It, 1t was the literal,
home5pun, chlld's world of today; the
common air aDd skies, the common life Of
every New England boy and girl, such rs
she knew it; the daily joys and cares, the
games and r0mp5 and jolly companions
all the actuality and detail of familiar and
accustomed things which children love
For children are born realIsts, who de-
light in the marvellous simply because for
them the marvellous IS no less real than the
commonplace, and Is accepted just as un-
conditionally. Miss Alcott met the chill
dren on their own plane, Gravely discussed
their problems, and adopted their point of
view, drawing in nowise upon her inven-
ton or imagination, but upon the facts of
her own memory and experience. Whether
or not the picture, so true to the life as
she he'd lived it, will remain true and vital
for all times cannot now be determined.
For the literature of children no less
than for our own, q higbor gift may be
needed; more finish and less Of the trough
and ready" OF everyday habit and exist
enoe; above I'll, perhaps, a larger general
ization and suggestion, and the touch Of
things unseen as well ns things familiar.
But whatever the fate OF her books, Miss
Alcott deserves the niche she has won aud
the monument built for her in the record
of life which Is a protest against the
doubts Of the age-the fear that duty may
have lost its sway and character its founda-
ton. and that happiness is the sole meas
are and rule Of living.

Artificial Gems.

Attempts have been made, not without
success, to form minerals Artificial ul-
transarine hes long been an article Of COM
mcrce The formation of the diamond Is
said to have been actually effected, but in
the opinion of the inventor the process is
so difficult and so dangerous that the
diamond miner and the diamond mer-
chant need not feel uneasy. The ruby
and the sapphire have lately been re.
produced In Paris, and, curiously enough,
the coloring matter IN both is found to be
due to one and the same metal-chromium
in different states Of combination.
Red and blue stones, or an intermediate
violet form which might be liksned to the
rare and beautiful oriental amethyst, have
been obtained IN one and the same opera
tion, from the same lot OF material. The
Jewels thus produced have 80 far all been
small; large enough TO form the pivots Of
superior watch works, but not large enough
to rank as rare and costly ornamental OBJ
