1T is SMALL.
The Income of the Average College
Professor.
Bliss Perry, in Scribner.

Bliss Perry in Scribner.
To turn to the material side of things,
the assurance of a fixed income is a source
of permanent satisfaction, however dispro-
portionate the income to the service that is
rendered. To be sure, the salary of a full
professor, the country over, is little, if at
all, in excess of 5000. In the larger uni
versities it may rise to $1,000 or something
more, but the men who receive above 81 900
are so few as scarcely to affect the gen
eral average. Aside from the bare pos
sibility of a call to richer institution, the
college professor is not likely to be earning
more at fifty than at thirty. Unlike most
other professions, there is here no gradual
increase or income, to give tangible
evidence of a mans growth in power.
Unless one has taken the Northern Farm
er's thrifty advice and gone where money
is when he married, his outlook as he
faces old age is not reassuring. Pensions
forced in most cases to be as ungrateful as
republics. The cost of living has steadily
risen in college towns, keeping pace with
the general increase of luxury throughout
particularly in the West, there are excep-
tons, but upon the whole the scale of
necessary expenditure for a man fulfilling
the various social duties required by his
professors incidental income from books
and lectures is ordinarily Insignificant.
When he has paid his bills he finds
no margin left for champagne and terrapin
If he smokes at all he invents ingenious
reasons for preferring pipe. He sees the
light-hearted tutors sail for Europe every
summer. but as for himself he decides an
nually that it will be wiser to wait just one
year more. Once in a while he will yield
to the temptation to pick up a first edi-
ton or good print, but Aldines and Rem
brandt proofs are toys he may not daily
with. In short, his tastes are cultivated
beyond his income, and his sole comfort is
in the Pharisaical reflection that this is
better, after all, than to have more income
than taste.

Utilizing the Ok.
Ladies' Home Journal.


Not many wears ago when an OK was
slaughtered 40 per cent. of the animal was
wasted; at the present time nothing is lost
but its dying breath" AS but one-third of
the weight of the animal consists of prod
ucts that can be eaten, the question of util-
izing the waste is a serious one. The blood
is used in refining sugar and in sizing pa
per. or manufactured into doorknobs and
buttons. The hide goes to the tanner; horns
and hoofs are transformed into combs and
buttons; thigh-bones, worth $50 per ton. are
cut into handles for clothes brushes; fore
leg bones sell for $50 per ton for collar but
tons, parasol handles and jewelry; the wa
ter in which bones are boiled is reduced to
glue; the dust from saving the bones is
food for cattle and poultry; the smallest
bones are made into boneblack Each foot
yields a quarter of pint of neats-foot oil f;
the tail goes to the soup while the brush
of hair at the end of the tail is sold to the
mattress-maker. The choicer parts of the
fat make the basis of hutterine: the in
testines are used for sausage castings or
bought by gold-beaters. The undigested
food in the stomach, which formerly cost
the packers of Chicago $50. 600 year to re-
move and destroy, is now made into paper.
These are but few of the products of
abattoirs. All scraps unfit for any other use
find welcome in the glue-pot,. or they do
missionary work for farmers by acting as
fertilizers
