"AndrOmania In the Green"

There has been quite sudden devel-
opment in this generation of what are
known as female colleges, writes the
Rev. Charles H. Parkhurst, D. D., in
The Ladies Home Journal This move
ment is, i'll part, considerate and reason
able, and in part it is ''fad" A great
many girls are going to Vassar, Smith,
Wellesley and Barnard because they
want to be educated, and others are 60
ing because young men go to college, and
it is nice to do what young men do
what might be called "Andromania" in
the green. There is another contingent
of young women who are motived in
this by their desire to get on to an indie
pendent footing and to be in situation
to make their own way in the world,
with something like an expectation that
they will earn their living by their
brains, and that husband and children
will be to them always terra incognita
using the college in that way as
means of helping them to escape the
proper destiny of their sex.
The institutions referred to are known
as female colleges, and there is some
thing in that mode Of distinction that
involves an amount of wisdom that is
not always suspected nor intended by
those who use the designation.

Shirt Waists and Deuteronomy.

One of the most significant signs Of
summer is the temperance of the shirt
waist. 1t is worn by all classes and con-
ditions of women.
Age or size is no bar to it. Comeli-
ness or LONELINESS are equally suscepti-
BILE to its attractions. 1t has come with
bigger sleeves, brighter colors and more
extreme styles. In it's latest form it is
an exact copy of a mans shirt except
that it has drawing string around the
belt and is endowed with the privilege
of separating from the garment that sup
plements it.
This prevalence of the shirt waist is a
token of the religious laxity of the times.
Its hold upon feminine favor shows that
the Bible is not read or needed as in the
days of our grandmothers In Deuteron-
omy xii, 5, are these words: ''The
woman shall not wear that which per-
taineth unto a man, neither shall man
put on woman's garment. For all that
do so are an abominatiOn 4"
As the women are putting on not only
the shirt waist, but the collar button,
the studs and the four in hand ties,

tains at the capital of another country,
and the success of his mission is of vital
Importance to Venezuela. Venezuela
diplomatic relations with England have
been broken off since 1887, when that
great absorber of little nations took pos
session Of the territory within the old
Schomburgk line, declaring it to be
British ground. Then the Venezuelan
minister at London, DR.. Rojas, was re-
called.
For three generations the Andrade
family has been prominent in the polit-
ical and military life Of Venezuela, and
the minister comes naturally by his tai
emit for statecraft. He is a scholar, pro-
found thinker and shrewd student Of
men and public affairs For many years
he has been leader in the politics Of
his country and has served in the senate
and house and as president Of the state
of Zulia. For 10 years he lived in the
United States of Colombia and studied
law. He then visited the various repub
lies of North and South America and
the different countries of Europe, study
ing the people and institutions until he
knew them we'll. He speaks English,
French, German, Italian, Spanish and
modern Greek fluently, and his rich ex-
perience in different parts of the globe
has well fitted him for intricate diplo-
matte work. He is courteous, gentle and
model listener and makes friends
wherever he goes. He first attracted at
tention in this country as a member OF
the Venezuelan and marine commissions
and as delegate to the pan-American
congress.
AS minister he has made no effort to
excite popular sympathy with his cause
and his courtesy, tact, discretion, erudi-
ton and diplomatic skill have made a
most favorable impression at the state
department, it is said. In the opinion of
Washington officials Venezuela's mo-
mentous mission could not be in better
hands.

Travel In Spain,

One of the greatest charms of Spain to
reflective mind is the entire absence of
anything like an atmosphere of labor.
There is none of the fretting energy of
breadwinning, and the traveller in her
provinces seems to himself to have stepped
out of the nineteenth century and crossed
the magical portal into the sixteenth for
anything he can discover that bespeaks
what we term the esprit of the age No
one is in a hurry; even the beggars whine
lazily. Toiling and spinning and harvest
ing is not part of their code of life.
There is no planning or thought for the
morrow, for they know the prodigal Ceres
will care for her children, and the sun
Drowned idlers fall asleep on the cool mar
BILE steps of the cathedral or by the road
side in the shade of the olive woods, and
no one thinks to question their privilege
Or right to do so. They live for the sole
enjoyment of each day by itself. Now and
again the air is stirred by the sounds of
preparation for some picturesque process
sion or festival in honor of q favOrite saint
or for some royal tournament or bull fight,
but it is all mere matter of pleasurable
enjoyment, and the thought or anxiety of
their daily bread does not enter into the
question of the hour.-Art Interchange.

A Confused Bridegroom.

A young man about to be married by
an Episcopal clergyman and being quite
innocent of any knowledge of the form
of solemnization for matrimony in the
book of common prayer concluded that
he had better look it up and study the
answers to the questions the clergyman
was to ask him. He became quite in
terested in and somewhat perplexed with
the several orders therein formulated
for as many religious services, SO much
so that when he stood up before the
clergyman with his bride to be married
in the confusion in which he found him
self he could recall but the merest
snatches of answers he had seen in the
prayer book. When the clergyman asked,
"Wilt thou have this woman to be
thy welded wife, to live together after
Gods ordinance?" etc, the groom cour-
ageously replied, II renounce them all,
and, by Gods help''-pausing as if he
expected the minister to help him finish
the answer. But, disconnected by the
groom response, the clergyman unfor
tunately increased the embarrassment Of
the occasion by muttering to himself a
little too distinctly:
81 believe that this bridegroom is
non compos mentis," to which snap
Judgment of his mentality the BRIDE
groom blandly responded:
"All this most steadfastly believe.
The ceremony was suspended. Ex
plantations were quietly made between
them. The bridegroom was told what he
was to say. The service was then re-
sumed, and the couple were married in
due form. New York World.

An EASY Welsh Name.

the first station in Anglesea past the
Menai bridge. Like all old place
names, it is of descriptive character.
The first part, Llanfairpwllgwyngyll, is
probably the correct name of the place
and means "St. Mary's white hazel
pool" the church being dedicated to
St. Mary and doubtless stood by a pool
shaded with white hazel The latter
portion seems to have been the addition
of some Cambrian humorist. The
