they're on the high road to
prosperity when they are able to

training that comes with newspaper
work. While so engaged he also made
for the Massachuset It's bureau of labor
statistics a special investigation OF
profit-sharing, which was the begin
ming of a general interest in that sub
ject in this country. In 1888 he was
called to the chair of political economy
at BI,ynMawr, being made full pro-
fcssor there in 1892. His study of soci-
ology had begun in 1872. In an official
capacity in the American Academy OF
Political and Social Science he has
written nluch. and the American Eco
nomie association has edited several OF
these publications. He is now work

TO STUDY HUMANS
Columbia College Inaugurates a
Department of Sociology.

The Work Explained.

The Inauguration of department
bf sociology in the university faculty of
political science at Columbia college is
, notable event, not merely as a
marked development of university in
btruction in this country, but also as
utilization of the natural advantage
this college possesses for the investi-
cation of this and kindred subjects. 1t
is obvious that the ability of colleges
10 give thorough training must largely
vary with their surroundings. Medi-
cine can only be well taught where
there are great hospitals, music where
1t can be heard in all its varieties, and,
most of all. sociology where humanity
can be studied.
This natural limitation, says Har-
per's Weekly, gives to this new depart
ment at Columbia advantages which
must make it at once the natural
center for the study of this vast and
vital srlsject. As the greatest center
Of American population. New York
furnishes of necessity the most full
and varied opportunity of social condi-
tions. In this great city are sections
80 densely inhabited that the people
living on one block would not have
room for burial on the ground they
live upon. Here is every range Of our
body-politic, from the so-called multi
millionaire to the lowest and vilest
dregs of society. the widest range of
nationality and trade. Here is great
natural laboratory of modern social
conditions waiting investigation.
President Low, of Columbia, for
many years has been president OF the
University settlement, which has done
such admirable work in the tenement
districts of New York, and has as well
taken leading part in nearly every
public movement of a philanthropic or
humane character in recent years. In
deed, the institution of this depart
ment has long been his personal wish,
and 1t is largely to this interest that it
has been inaugurated.
Three years ago special course of
lectures on this subject was begun by
Prof. Franklin Ii. Giddings, who has
just been appointed to fill the newly
created chair Of sociology in this de-
partment. Prof Giddings was born in
Sherman, Conn, March 23, 1855; he
was graduated with an A. B. from
Union college in 1877: he then worked

AN EMPEROR AT THE PLOW.
Curious Rites Performed by the Ruler Of
China at Certain Intervals.

curious kites performed Oy the Ruler OK
China at Certain Intervals.
In order to emphasize the Importance
of the cultivation of the soil and to
encourage his subjects to follow agri-
cultural pursuits, the emperor of China
sometimes performs certain rites at
the ''emperor's field" and goes through
the form of plowing and other work OF
the husbandman. One day recently,
says the 4. A. U. Cable, the emperor
set out at daybreak from his palace,
with numerous and magnificent train
of courtiers and others. Before break
fast the emperor arrived at the shrines
Of the deity presiding over agriculture,
and his majesty stopped to offer up his
Thanksgiving and sacrifices. After
changing his dress the morning repast
was served. at the end of which the
emperor proceeded to the field, at the
four corners of which were erected
four pavilions where the seeds OF
wheat and other cereals were placed.
In the center were numbers of mag
nifcently attired courtiers, each hold
ing aloft many-colored flag, while on
the side Of the passage were scores
of aged and white-haired farmers,
each having in his hand some agri-
cultural implement. Placing his left
hand on the plow and holding the
whip in his right hand, the emperor
began the ceremony of the occasion.
By Encouragement the officers did
their allotted share, some welding the
agricultural implements, while others
scattered seeds out of the baskets as il
sowing, while the emperor vas busted
with the plow which was hitched to a
richly caparisoned bullock, draped in
yellow and led by two of the emperors
bodyguards. On the emperor finishing
his round at the plow the three princes
were ordered to go through the pes-
formance, and after them nine high
courtiers had their turn, after which
the performance closed. Having re-
ceived the greeting of his officers the
emperor returned to his palace.

Linen, glass, ornaments of silver and
gold and beautiful examples of cabinet
work and objects Of art and refinement
were of home manufacture. Various gym
nastic exercises and the games Of drafts,
ball, mora and other well known modern
amusements were common at the same
period. The army and navy were well

powerful machines and deadly weapons.

Thought She Had 1t,

Two girls have recently come to Bates
to board themselves and discuss comic Sec
tions and the ablative absolute. They took
rooms where two girls fought 1t out year
ago. They cook, and they eat there, and
they study there, and they don't go out
nights, and they don't hang on the front
gate with any Adolphus OF any George,
dear. They just eat to live and live to
learn.
In the pantry the departed girls left
some paraphernalia for their successors.
"I'd like some oatmeal, " said one Of the
girls last Wednesday,
There some in the pantry that Mamie
and Susie left, said the other.
They cooked and they ate it. 1t went
down hard. 1t didn't seem superlatively
good.
"I-T'- gasped one of the girls-"I
don't think this is real good, do your
NO." said the other doubtfully, "but
you put lots of milk on it and tt goes"
1t went. Next day they saw the other
girls.
I'VE are indebted to you," said they.
'We ate some Of your oatmeal that you
left"
"We leave oatmeal' guess not, sissy"
said they. 1--WE left nothing eabable."
