THAT FEsT-HOUSA AGdIN.

The Register says that the action of the board of aldermen in forbidding by ordinance the erection or maintenance of private hospital anywhere in the city of New Haven for the care and treatment of contagious or infectious diseases is too sweeping. Then it pro- ceeds to be too sweeping itself when 1t says that the Journal and Courier insists ''that Yale shall not be permit ted to erect and maintain at any time, or under any circumstances, a private hospital for the care of infectious or contagious diseases among it's stu dents.' Of course the Journal and Courier does not so insist. Yale should be permitted ito erect and main- tain such a hospital under the right circumstances if she wants to. but, in our opinion, the right circumstances do not exist within the limits of the city of New Haven. If they exist elsewhere We shall offer no objection, although we do not think that private pest houses should be encouraged anywhere. What the Register seems to be driving at, now that it has got down to busi- ness, is that Yale should be permitted to establish such pest-house in a. place convenient for Yale, however inconven- ient and troublesome it may be to the rest of the folks. The Register speaks feelingly of the great Yale colony and it's needs in this matter. There is an other great colony here which should also be considered. Yale can have a private pest house if she feels that she must. It is not necessary or right that it should be set up within the city limits.

MT. Talcott Williams of the Philadel
 two interesting and important ques-
 tions, namely; Are the separate colleges
 drawing a larger or a smaller share of their attendance from their immediate
 neighborhood-a radius of twenty-five
 miles-and are they, as compared with larger institutions in their own field, or the larger New England colleges (Yale and Harvard), drawing larger or a
 smaller body of students? Forty-six colleges in New York, New Jersey
 Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland and Ohio show an increase in undergradu- ates from 1868 of 4,779 students to 9402 in 1893, just double. Of these forty-six colleges the six big ones-Jollns Hop kins, University of Pennsylvania, Co., I hlnlbia, Princeton, Adelbert and Cornell --quadrupled, while the detached insti- tutions grew one and a half fold The seven New England colleges-Yale,
 Harvard, Amherst, Brown, Dartmouth, 1 Wesleyan, Willfams-increased from 1 2,245 in 1868 to 4,964 in 1893, two and Q quarter fold; the university colleges having gained two and three-quarter | times, and the smaller colleges not quite twice. MT. Williams Investigations ap- pear to him to demonstrate two conclu- sions: The amazing value of large col l lege endowments and large, conspicu-
 ous colleges in stimulating the appetite | for college education, and that, since l locality counts for so much, students | will rise to the standard of the college,
 50 that the detached colleges ought to unite in common examination for en- 1 trance of an advanced standard, by
 which the attendance supporting them will be increased.

Sclf-Acsiuc Weapons.

A common story was to the effect that a Muramasa sword was once on a time pledged to a pawnbroker. The fellow thought this a fine opportunity to parade himself as a gentleman, and accordingly on a festival day he wore the sword. Quarreling with some idle fellows. he eseayed to use the weapon, but his unfamiliarity with it excited the derision of the bystanders, who un- mercifully ridiculed his bungling man. ner. But the merriment of these indi~ viduals was short-lived. The sword it. self took the matter in hand, as though thg taunts impugned it's own skill, and soon laid low all it's traducers. Then it turned against the unfortunate pawn broker and killed him.
 Another story is the basis of a popu-

ES-Senator Edmunds is qualified by brains and experience to give the Re publicans in congress good advice. He gives such advice when he says; It would seem that our Republican, breth- reu differ 8 good deal in opinion, as to the wisest way of legislative procedure, but I put in my humble but earnest request that the house of representa- tives proceed with laws on f. nance and revenue exactly as if they expected their measures would be passed by the senate and approved by the president, doing what they think to be right and letting those who come after take the responsibility of refusing, It is clear to me that this is honest, and therefore a wise and true policy. It has turned out so in the past.

HELPING SOMEBODY.

That was a beautiful tribute which a lady once paid, perhaps unconsciously, to her husband It was the wife of Sir Bartle Frere. when she went to the railway station to meet him, taking with her a new servant who had never seen him. You must go and look for Sir Bartle," she said,
 But how shall know him?" asked the man.
 "oh,." said Lady Frere, look for a tall gentleman who is helping eome- body"
 The servant went with only this clue to his masters identity, and seeing a gentleman engaged in assisting an old lady from carriage, accosted him, and found that it was indeed Sir Bartle, l Lady Freres' tribute to her husband was a charming one, but there would have been higher compliment to man kind generally if the servant had had a little difficulty in finding him.
 PRAISE FROM A POET. We are wont to consider that the poets mind is appreciative only of he |
 roic effort and lofty ideals. The prov l inoe of housewives is to make poets comfortable, or so many of them have appeared to think, and they concern themselves little with affairs of the ] house except when they themselves are l inconyenieuced and disturbed. But there is one poet at least, who realizes l how much executive ability is required ! to deal with such infnity of detail and 1 to cope successfully with the never i ending requirements of housekeeping. i IL is William Morris who says: "Peo- lpie lift their eyebrows over women mastering the higher mathematics 1 why, it is infinitely more difficult to l learn the details of good housekeeping l Anybody can learn mathematics, but it takes lot of skill to manage q house l we'll"
 1 Perhaps it is because Mr. Morris is not only poet and an artist but a practical l business man that he has "a realizing ls.nse" of the gravity and dignity of a housewfe's office. Take courage, good housekeepers! You are of more value l than many mathematicians

FASHION NOTES.
Green the Fashionable Hue.

Green remains the color of the year, and some of the most exquisite of the changing silks that are still the vogue are bright grass green lone way" An especially lovely silk is this emerald color one way and flame red the oth- CT, the two colors being blended by a surface pearl color. A gown from this silk was smothered in ivory lace, eme- raids and opaIs were worn, and the girl so gowned was q pomegranate col ored brunette with deep red hair This may be an aggravation to anyone who is not a pomegranate brunette, and even she who is of that type may not be able to ind or afford such a dress, but it was a beauty worth describing
 In to-day's picture another exquisite costume of green silk is shown. It is cut princess and it's draped front cross es over and fastens at the side. The silk is draped for the whole front of the bodice. but the back remains plain
 Both sides of the skirt show inserted panels of perforated white velvet lined

 Bombsh4ll had his own bed in the back casemate; but he preferred my bed and would use it whenever he could. I had tried to break him of the habit, but had not been successful.

For awhile Bombshell did not move; then he raised his head and 1 looked at the door; finally he got up, stretched himself yawned sleepily, wallsde to the bed, jumped up, and put his forepaws on 1t, Standing in this position. thought struck him, and he said to himself;

The strongest desire of the young Czar Nicholas, according to the St. Petersburg correspondent of the Lon don Times, is to educate his people. His wishes in this respect are indicated by his abundant notes pencilled on the margins of reports from ministers, gov ernors, and others, all of which he at tentively peruses, after the fashion of his father. Every passage referring to the lack of education is sure to be un- derlined and annotated with remarks of regret and with instructions to the authorities concerned. His journey through Siberia seems to have impress ed upon him, not only the ignorance of the Russian orthodox masses. but also of the many heterodox native races, such as the Kirghiz and Buriats. One result is the arrival in St. Peters burg of thirty-two Mongolian Buriats from Siberia to be educated here in a special school purposeiy established for that purpose. In order to bring them into close contact with Christian civiii- zation they are to be lodged in pri-

John Won Millern, detective in the employment of the German government, has been very successfully disguised since he came to this country about six months ago. In Sioux City, Iowa. he was promptly arrested on a charge of ro1obing and burning 8 depot at a small town in the county. In the fear that he might destroy his usefplness if he became known, he did not disclose his identity, but succeeded in establish ing an alibi under the name of John Miller. Instead of being released, how ever, he was turned over to the federal authorities and taken to South Dakota to answer to the charge of robbing a postoffice. This charge also failing he was accused of working 8 confidence game on South Dakota farmers. Since then he has contrived to secure the necessary evidence to disclose his iden- tity, and his story is amply proven by papers in his possession.

sudden and unprecedented demand forcents has lately sprungup in various parts of the country, and the Philadel- phia mint has been turning out the bright copper coins at a rate unprece- dented in the history of the establish ment. Nine presses, with a capacity of $500 worth of pennies an hour, have been busy for weeks filling the de- mands. One reason of the demand is that in Philadelphia am eigft-cent ex- change fare has been established by the street car railroads. In Detroit three cent fare has been established on the street railroads. Changes of a similar character have also been made in other cities. Then great many defective cents have been received for redemption lately. Bargain counter prices, with odd cents, have something to do with the demand, too.
