the Cherubs took such big lead in the

OUR SMALLER COLLEGES.
In Many Respects They Are Doing
Better Work Than the Larger.

In Many Respects They Are Doing
Better Work Than the Larger.
There are few striking facts about
the small American college, writes Ed
ward W. Box in Ladies' Home Journal.
One striking fact is that 60 per cent.
of the brainiest Americans who have
risen, to prominence and success are
graduates of colleges whose names are
scarcely known outside of their own
states. 1t is a fact also, that during the
past ten years the majority of the new
and best methods of learning have
emanated from the smaller colleges,
and have been adopted later by the
larger ones. Because acollege happens
to be unknown 200 miles from the place
of it's location does not always mean
that the college is not worthy of wider
repute. The fact cannot be disputed
that the most direct teaching, and
necessarily the teaching most produc-
tive of good results, is being done in
the smaller American colleges. The
names of these colleges may not be ia
miliar to the majority of people, but
that makes them none the less worthy
places of learning. The larger colleges
are unquestionably good. But there
are smaller colleges just as good, and,
in some respects, better. Some of the
finest educators we have are attached
to the faculties of the smaller institu-
tons of learning. Young girls or
young men who are being educated at
one of the smaller colleges need never
feel that the fact of the college being
small one places them at a disadvantage
in comparison with thefriend or COM
panion who has been sent to larger
and better-known college. 1t is not the
college; it is the student.

why He snid IN. Prayer..

Prayer was the topic in certain
Sunday school class in Syracuse on a
recent Sunday. One little boy who had
felt very smart during the class hour
was asked if he prayed every morning.
IL do in vacation time" he answered.
SLOW is it you don't do it the rest of
the timer" asked the teacher. "Oh,
cause when there's school we pray in
the school in the mornings" "Well,"
asked the teacher, again, "don't you

NEW Works. SUBSCRIBERS.
Sky'Lin of Gotham Rapidly and Con-
tinuaIIy Changing.

The skyline of New York is changing
so rapidly that the American traveller
who goes abroad can recognize with
more certainty the profiles of the for
eign cities he approaches than that of
his own metropolis as he sees it from
the deck of the steamer on his return,
says Scribner's. 1t may be his first
visit to Europe; he may know London,
Rome and Paris only from the views of
them in old prints. But if he has an eye
for such things his first glimpse of st.
Paul's, st. Peters, or Notre Dame will
tell him to what place he is coming, for
all the world knows these pinnacles,
has known them for centuries. They
are as conspicuous and characteristic
in the silhouettes of their cities as they
were when they were built.
One of the Dutch governors of New
Amsterdam, seeking in spirit some IA
miliar earthly habitation, might find
old Amsterdam, for it cuts the same
figure in the sky to-day that it did when
he left it.; but the last dead boss of New
York, If by any chance he should get
away from where he ought to be, would
search the horizon in vain for the face
of his city. The features his eye would
seek for are there; Old Trinity still
stands. its steeple, like the spires of
tho old cathedrals, uplifted high above
the earth; but it's solitary prominence
is gone. The modern Office building
has risen higher than the head of the
cross and the church has lost its dis
tinction. The enterprise of business has
surpassed the aspiration of religion.

That the warrior spirit is not con-

story of a missionary chaplain in Natal,

No one had greater share of danger

soldierly example of treating that dan
ger with calm indifference. Not only
did he perform the duties of his Office
but as every man who could handle q
rifle was sorely needed to defend the
parapet, Mr.. Smith Gid essential service

DOES HE LOVE your
How to Find the State of n Young
Mans Affections.


at is the easiest thing in the world"
said a young lady, according to the Chi
cago Journal, ito tell if a young man
is in love with you. Yet scores of
girls, just because they do not think
enough of themselves, overlook the
manifestations of sincere regard which
must always precede definite con-
fession of love.
snow, young man in love, or part
" in love, always listens to every word
she utters. This is so invariably the
rule that girl, when in company with
the young man and others, may address
some remark of little interest to no
one in particular. and address it in such
a manner that it is impossible for it to
be heard. If the young man is more
than ordinarily fond of the girl he will
evince special interest in that remark,
and will not rest satisfied till he has dis
covered what it was.
Then, again, young man in love can
when in company with several, more
readily. converse with them than with
the object of his affection. For this
reason he often appears to be far more
interested in some girl he cares little
for than the girl he loves. Some young
men also develop habit of contradict.
ing statements made by the girl they
are fond of. This seems an absurd
thing to do, but it is fact that many
love affairs take rise out of incessant
| playful quarrelings."

INCIDENT OF TROLLEY TRAVEL.
A Front Seat Passenger Sees the Con-
ductor Operate IA safety switch,

ductor Operate IA safety switch.
A man who was enjoying the air and
the scenery from the front seat of
trolley car in the state of New Jersey,
saws the New York Sun, saw against
one of the rails of the track ahead,
when the car had come to a dead stop
at railroad crossing, a tongue that
looked something like switch point.
He did not at first realize what this
tongue was for, but he saw that the
point of it was toward the car, and that
it was also clear of the rail, so that if
it had been attempted to run the car
ahead without first closing the point
up against the rail the car would have
been run off the track.
The conductor got down and went
ahead to the railroad track and looked
to the right and left to see that every
thing was clear and that it was safe TO
cross. The man sitting on the front
seat of the trolley car expected the mo-
torman would take this opportunity
TO get down and close that switch, or
that he would bend over and close il
with car hook. or somehow from the
car, but he didn't do anything of the
sort; he just stood still. But the con.
ductor bent over and put his hand into
a ring. set between the tracks. Lifting
this ring he drew up rodthat was CON
nected with the tongue in the trolley
track and by this means closed it sc
that the trolley car could pass over
And thus it was discovered by the trav
eler on the front seat that the tongue
was a safety contrivance, which coult
be operated only by man actually
standing on the track to be crossed

when the Moon Looked blue.

"Once in a blue moon" is a saying
which appears to be founded on fact. A
Scandinavian captain named Salveson,
in Chinese waters, was fortunate
enough to see blue moon several years
ago, about the time the atmosphere was
supposed to be impregnated with the
dust of the Krakatoa eruption. The
color was like that of a hedge spar
rows egg-a pale, rather greenish
blue.
