houses, the girls. of this bright, breezy northern town live the brightest, breezi- est life to be found on this continent; subject to no rules but those of their own making, a community within community, self-respeeting but free as the prairie wind.
 This is the western idea of indepen- dence carried out to it's fullest expres- sion. Foreigners wonder at it. Even customers raise their eyebrows. But the Ann Arbor girl laughs, settles her cushions in front of her girl bachelor freside and plunges into her books with a serene scorn of ignorant folk who can't understand her perfect abili- ty to live her own life in her own way.
 At Chicago it is different. In way it is more eastern. From another point of view it is long distance farther

The Price of silver.

The average price of silver for last year, 1894, was 631a cents per fine ounce, this corresponding to ratio of 32.5Oto 1. and giving 40.1 cents for the value of the pure silver contained in the United States dollars The 69H cents per ounce at which silver is selling in New Yorks an advance of cents per ounce from the average for last year, and cores ponds to 53A cents for the intrinsic talne of the silver dollar of the United States. The improvement is still greater from the bottom point at which the silver dollar represented 4s cents oi real value and 52 cents of confidence It should be observed that the recent rise is ascribed directly to the fact that the stock of bullion silver in store n New York city is reduced to less than 30,000 ounces. Undoubtedly big ln- crease ill the quantity on sale would ae' press the price again.-Chicago IT'D une

versity divide its campus as of right with it's women? What other school would put women's houses and look on with serenity at the life of the women's commons, separated only by few rods of green sward from the mems dormitories? It was an experiment that the university itself was half afraid of, and yet the result has been to give the wonem students such full ness of university life as they get mo- where else in America, and at the same time to keep them under such supervi- sion as is impossible in colleges at once less and more yenturesome, where a girl is madc free to the lecture halls. but for the rest kept at arms length outside.
 There are three of these women s houses on the women's quadrangle They are stately piles of stone, and bear the names of the women who gave the money to build them-Kelly hall, Eos ter hall and Beecher hail. It is the life of these women's dormitories that marks off Chicago from Michigan uni yersity or any other coeducational col lege, for, though the women's quad rangle as yet accommodates only about a third of the girl students in attend ance, yet the quadranglers are the typical Chicago university girls.

than eastern college girls, or so they seemed to me, older and ruddier, there was talk of tennis and basket ball, of great doings in the gym" of man. dolin club, and of breezy spins up and down the midway on bicycles. Half the university girls, one would think, ride on the wheel, and run to the lake shore brushes the Greek and cobwebs out of their brains. It costs three dol ,crs and fifty cents a week to board at the girls commons, and two dollars and fifty cents a week for 8 room. This brings the expense of living considera- bly below that of the big eastern schools. But I didn't mean to talk about figures.
 After dinner was over there were gatherings in the drawing-room and the reception-roorn, and one very small and particularly cozy coming together in the suggest little den in the world. Every girl in the women's quadrangle has a room to herself, and this little college study suggested warmth and color and gaiety everywhere. The walls were crowded with pictures; there was Madonna in a delicate white frame and beneath it a little recoco figure done in broad washes of water color without and background. There

Each hall has woman at it's head, elected by the trustees from the women of the faculty. Each house has Q counselor" also, who is man, and whose duties are so few that he would have to think hard to discover any of them, except that of enjoying himself at an occasional quadrangle tea. The government of these halls is very simple. Certain rules are laid down by the university, certain others are pre- seribed by the committee of each house, elected by the students from among their own number. Nobody goes in as house member. 4 new girl is a .guest" for six weeks; then she is eligible for election to house membership. Nobody goes out in the evening without telling the head of the house where she is going. Nobody stays out later than ten o'clock without special permission. Nobody has man to visit her in her room, even if he be her father or her brother, unless the head of the house and every girl room ing on that floor has been notified, so that there may be no study gowns or negliges fitting through the coSridors. Nobody is supposed to go anywhere without chaperon.
 Home life couldn't be stricter; it is less careful, usually. And yet they are a merry lot, to whom life seems to open every possibility, these quadrangle girls. Three or four days ago I sat at dinner in Kelly hall Miss Marion Talbot, one of the university's eight deans, is head of this house-a slight, quiet, young New Englander, graduate of Boston university, and woman of such conservative sense and steady ex- ecutiye ability as quite to account for the smooth working of the women's halls, with the organization and man. agement of all of which she has been more or less concerned. As the girls came trooping in, forty or fifty of them, in groups of threes and fours, taller

and half dozen women on it's faculty. It's women professors instruct men as well as women; so that President Har- per has made as sensational depart ure as he could make in gathering in the lecture halls of this enormous in- situation, that has sprouted in the night like mushroom, college boys and col lege girls to be taught together by col lege women.
 And yet one move more courageous still was possible. It is this move that has made Chicago university the most radical of all schools in it's eoeduca- tional theories, but that in it's workings has brought it to be as conservative as a girls academy in it's oversight of the daily doings of its young woraen.
 The twenty-four acres that make up the great bare caapan bordering on what was the Midway, comprise four city blocks, broken little by young oaks, tco young to do much to beautify the unlovely prairie. Eleven great buildings, part of a scheme that pro- vides for three or four times their num- Der, are scattered over four quadran- gls, one 'squac" to each block, and of these the most interesting for many reasons is the woman's quadrangle.

they look in their mortarboard and flowing black robes.
 University etiquette is English in its severity. A bright Illinois girl wrote out this catechism:
 Do you see the youth?
 Yes.
 Who is he?
 A freshman in the college near by. Why does he stand on the corner? He is waiting for the approaching maid to pass.
 Why?
 So that he may get a nearer view of her.
 Then he likes the maid, doesn't he? Yes.
 Does she know him?
 Yes.
 Does she like him?
 Yes.
 Then why do they both turn their heads and gaze into vacancy?
 Because they wish to appear ignorant of each others presence.
 Have they quarreled?
 Not at all.
 Then why don't they greet eacI other?
 Because they think they don't know each other.
 But do they?
 They have been in the same classes half year.
 Then why do they think they're not acquainted?
 Because they have never been intro duced.
 And half years intimacy in class does not serve as an introduction? Mo-
 Then do they deserve to enjoy each others companionship?
 Ask them.
 And yet over in the English library, which is an excellent place to spend an odd minute, one gets now and then bit of diffeeent possibilities. An ethereal-looking junior who writes tri- olets is scribbling note to a little brunette who is reading Lamb. Two small fair girls in mortarboards sit on one chair. They whisper busily. You can hear odd words-.1ast night-he said-Thomas concert-shan't go" A dimpled girl in Redfern gown leans against a revolving bookcase. A soph- omore in long blue overcoat looks up and smiles and they saunter leisurely out of the library.
 But take it as you see it the social life of Chicago university is singularly wholesome. More radical in its coedu- cation than any other school in the country, it is yet more than conserya- tive in its observance of social laws. Phenomenal in it's growth, ineompre- hensible to slower-going communities. this giant university of the middle west knows no sex in extending it's edu- cational privileges. President Harper is man in million, but he has ample inspiration in the bright eyes that make glad the women's quadrangle.

 Few Rods from the Mems.
COPYRIGHT 1895.

Here is paradox: Coedueation is far more thorough, more radical at the University of Chicago than at Ann Arbor; but coeducational life is far more free. more independent at Ann Arbor than in the great school that has sprung up like Jacks bean stalk next to what was in worlds fair days the giddy street in Cairo.
 The seeming contradiction explains itself. The University of Michigan gives less and demands less; Chicago university lavishes everything and looks for a corresponding return from it's girls.

were photographs of every share and size lying, standing and hanging around. Two flags, gorgeous black and orange silk affair with huge P emblazoned with were over the rnantel, while cuts from Truth and Life, chiefly illustrating football scenes, were tackled up with pins in all avail able spaces. The dainty little desk by the window was heaped with notes and letters, looking out from bescrib- bled pile Of lecture pads and note books. The window hangings were creamy white warmed with crimson, and tossed here. there and everywhere were bright silk cushions. And the inmate of this soft little nest? There she lay on the broad low couch, q pret- ty baby-faced blonde, one look at whom would rest you after round of labor atories and libraries; for her lips were puel1ered and she was staring hard at a mass of draperies in her hands. "Girls," she called as a slippered foot eoaxed the door wider; girls, come here. think I'll trim this dress with red; wouldn't you?"
 For girls stay girls, even though in this great Chicago university they are making better records in their studies than the men. Tn all departments the university has some l ,450 students, and of these about 450 are women. ''They are our best students,s said Miss Tal- bot. and other university authorities or,, f,-,,, 4l,o e4o +a,,,a,+ uao1+hx- laval. headed, not carried away by their emo tions, they seem to be steadied by the life of the campus, the closer intimacy with college men, the spirit of the quadrangle. There is less of the hys- terical in their mental activity than in the women's college.
 Naturally the girls take to languages and literature, and yet much of the best work they have done has been in mathematics and the sciences. In whatever lecture room they enter it would be hard to find the man who has not wholesome respect for their abil- ities. More than hundred of the wom- en students are graduates of other colleges, here for advance work, and this gives something of maturity te the women's quadrangle. There are Yassar girls and Wellesley girls and girls from Oxford and Cambridge, come west to complete their studies at this university, only three years old.
 An eager-faced army they are, busy, absolute, yet more than ready for a bit of fun. Every house gives month ly reception. and the list of Halloween parties, football parties, Christmas part ies, dinners, dances, bazars and quad rangle teas, makes one's head quite giddy to think of such round of gai- cities.
 On all official occasions the girls wear cap and gown, and very picturesque

PITTSBURGH, Pa., has been using nat. ural gas since 1884, and though the supply near at hand will be exhausted within two years, arrangements are under way to pipe it from West Vir. ginia. The Pittsburgh Dispatch says that, though some of the industries of the city have gone back to coal for power, the value of natural gas to that region has been enormous. It esedicts that an era of smokeless fuel in the form of coal gas and coal dust is at hand, and that the natural gas will not be seriously missed.

A SINGULAR alleged discovery regard. ing electricity, described by J R. Buchanan in the Arena, is that it carries with it the potentiality of everything through which it passes, and patients can be medicated in succession pr simultaneously be given of medi- cine without a particle being lost, as it is solidly inclosed. He thinks it probable that. with a continuous wire and sufficient electro-motive force, a medical dose might be sent from San Francisco to New York, and hospital could send a dose by wire from the laboratory to patient in any part of the building.
