Besant Lectures Tclstof.

Count Tolstoi lets any ono who pleascs
publish his novels. He will not take any
money for them. Very good indeed And
why notY He gives them to any publisher
who pleases to produce them. Why not?
If were in o position to refuse the rents,
or the proceeds, or the profits of my own
property, l should, however, choose the
people who should enjoy them. Surprising
Count Tolstoi to give away 81, 600 year
by this high minded conduct, this large
income goes to enrich private persons who
have done nothing whatever to earn the
money. Now, n good deal might be done
with 60, 600 year tIt would erect aims
houses for four or five persons In 10 years
40 or 30 old people could be maintained
forever, or scholarship could be founded
each year which might enable Il poor lad to
climb the tree and become lord chancellor
or archbishop of Canterbury. There are
many other ways in which 81, 900 a year
could be spent, all useful to the world.
To throw it out into the open field and 10
call on the world TO scramble for it does
not seem to me wise or useful purpose
for that money.-Waltcr Besant in Lon

Godfather and Godmothcrs,

We must doubtless look to tho Jews for
tho origin of godfathers and godmothcrs.
Tho use of them in the primativo church
Is so carly that it is not easy to fix u time
for their beginning Some of tho most an
cicnt fathers make mention of them, and
through all the successive ages aftcrward
we find the Use of them continued without
any interruption. BY n constitution of
Edmund, archbishop of Canterbury, 1886,
and in synod held at Worcester, 1910, a
provision was made that there should be
for every male child two godfathers and
one godmothcr, and for every female one
godfather and two godmothcrs. King
Henry VIII, referring to tho Princess
Elizabeth, says:
My lord OF Canterbury,
l have n suit which you must not deny me
That is, II fair Young maid that yet wants bap-
tism.
You must be godfather and answer for her
Henry VIII" Act 5. Scene 5.
A constitution of 1881 makes provision
for n Christian name being changed at
confirmation. This is practically remain
ing of the child The manner in which ii
was done was for the bishop to uSN the
name in the invocation and aftcrward for
him to sign certificate that he had SO con
frmcd a person by such new name. 1t is
possible that this practice might have been
in Shakcspcarc's mind when he wrote:
Call me but love, and I'll be new baptized.

INDIAN SCHOOL INSTITUTE,
Interesting Exercises at the Fort Shaw
Indian School 1nstitute-Large
Attendance Of Instructors.
The Addresses Delivered on Indian
Education Were Instructive-The
Meeting a Success.

The first institute held in this section
OF the country for those engaged in the
education Of the Indians was opened in
the Fort Shaw school last Tuesday
morning. Although those in attendance
came together to do hard work, and did
it too, yet the beauty of the surround.
ings, the ample arrangements for their
entertainment made by DR.. w. H. Wins.
low, superintendent at Fort Shaw, and
the jolly good fellowship Of the delegates
made the institute az full Of pleasure as
OF profit. There were present upward OF
twenty-five Indian workers, and they
we're presided over by DR.. w. N. He'll.
mann Of Washington, superintendent of
the department of Indian education.
DR.. Mailman is the we'll known kinder
garten authority, and 1t was his promi.
hence as an educator that led to bis 10.
pointment about eight months ago 10
the position that he nov occupies. AL
ready the department has begun to feel
the good effects Of having a scientific ed
ucator at it's head, who does his work on
educational, not on political, lines.
In q mastery address on Wednesday
morning DR.. Hailmann deprecated the
petty jealousy too often prevailing be.
tween the different grades of Indian
schools. The day school should be the
feeder for the reservation school and the
reservation school for the non-reserva.
ton. The day school again forms a
link between the Indian schools and the
public school system Of the country. AS
rapidly as may be feasible, the system
OF exclusive Indian education must be
brokon up and the Indian children
transferred to the public schools Of the
country. This is necessary to the
desideratum which all competent Der
sons acknowledge Of breaking up reser-
vations and camp fires and merging the
Indians in the common citizenship Of
the country.
The institute which ends today will
have the effect Of unifying the methods
OF Indian education and will do much
to place the system on a sound peda-
gogic basis.
Besides the discussion and papers,
there were exhibitions of the various
kinds OF work done by the pupils of
Fort Shaw, and it was the opinion of
those present that both in the product
manual skill and in the exhibition of
mental capacity, these Indian boys and
girls will rank up to the average Of white
children.
Among those present and taking part
in the institute were: DR.. Winslow and

The juice of an orange is q great addi-
ton to this ice, and the proportions may

make quite a quantity when an orange
is used. Peel the yellow rind of the lem

and put to boil in a porcelain saucepan,
with "a pounds Of sugar and a quart
OF water. Boil five minutes and set
away to cool. When cold, strain into

FOR RICH STUDENTS ONLY.

Princely Quarters at Yale, With the Rent
Rates For the New Year.
In the list of rentals in the Yale DOR
mitOries no change has been made in
the rooms that have been occupied, but
students have been watching to see at
what prices the accommodations in the
new buildings-Vanderbilt, White and
Berkeley-would be placed. Durfee has
been considered the rich mans dormito-
ry, but Vanderbilt appears destined to
take that distinction Immediately.
Berkeley will be a cheaper priced dor
mitory, as its 40 rooms bring an av-
erage Of 81. 81 per week, with the high
est priced ones, Of which there are four,
at $5. so a week. White will average
"a. II per week for its 52 rooms, but it
has eight at 81 per week each, from
which the price rises to one at $40.
The cheapest room in Vanderbilt will
be rented at 81. so a week without board.
From that the prices rise to $40 a week
each for 10 rooms, a average Of SO. Is
per week for the So rooms in that build
ing. In each case the cost will be divid-
ed between two students who occupy
the same suit. The university will re.
ceive $40, $50 from Vanderbilt hall,
80, 100 from White and So, 420 from
Berkeley for each college year week.
The net return from Vanderbilt hall
will probably be greater than those of
any other college dormitory in the coun-
try, but it is stated strongly that the
proceeds will not exceed IL per
cent Of the cost of the building and
land. Many people are wondering why,
in view Of the fact that the Vanderbilt
is evidently to be a rich mans home,
the corporation did not place the rent
ais higher, to get q greater return from
the building. The rooms would all have
been taken at whatever prices were
placed upon them, and the corporation
could obtain q large revenue from this
building. New Haven Palladium.
