OUR SMALLER COLLEGES
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 co per cent.
of the brainiest Americans who have
risen 10 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 ajority of the new
and best methods of learning have
emanated from the smaller colleges,
and have been adopted later by the
larger ones. Because a college happens
to be unknown 900 miles from the place
of its 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-
lions of learning. Young girls or
young men who are being educated al
one of the smaller colleges need never
feel that the fact of the college being It
small one places them at disadvantage
in comparison with the friend or com
panion who has been sent to a larger
and better-known college. 1t is not the
college; it is the student.

COMFORT FOR MAN AND BEAST.
The Picture Presented on a Dig Canal
BOat Tied Tn Over SupHax


Tied alongside bulkhead in the Har-
lem river was a big canal boat. In the
stable at one end stood three horses
munchiug hay out of their manger. says
the New York Sur. The deck over The
horses, forming the roof of their stable,
was foot or two, or maybe more than
that, higher than the surrounding deck
and 1t was open all around, so that the
breeze blew through freely. 1t was
hot day, but the horses were in the
shade, in place where they could get
the air if they could get it anywhere;
then they had plenty to eat, and they
were apparently as comfortable as
horses could be.
Down at the other end of the boat an
other scene presented itself. There an
awning had been stretched over the
deck from side to side, aft of the cabin.
1t was Sunday. Under this awning,
in comfortable rocking-chair, sat the
canal boats captain, reading n news
paper. Here, too, sat the captains
wife, reading a book Under the avn
ing, stretching from the cabin door,
they sat ms on veranda in front of a
house on shore, and quite as much at
home. 1t would have been difficult to
find more comfortable spot, and, in
deed, the boat was picture of comfort
for man and beast.

IMPERIAL PAWNSHOP.
Austria Conducts the PawnbrOkinR
Business for Her Poor


Austria has an imperial pawn shop.
1t was established in Vienna in 1907,
when there was great distress among
the poor in the southern part of the EN-
pire. 1t was designed as a way to secure
TO the starving some means of inmed-
ate relief, and by putting the rate of in
terest as low as possible, and embody-
ing in the system every advantage that
could be given to those who sought to
make loans, it was found to be so eff
fective that It soon gained the imperial
sanction, and it was not long until its
managers were made public officials
under the direction of the minister of
the interior. This is substantially the
status of the institution at this time
done on the cheap goods and chattels
of the poor could not possibly make the
establishment Self-sustaining; but peo-
pie who have been suddenly reduced
in circumstances or who are temporarily
embarrassed, keep the margins on the
right side and enable the institution to
keep open without the aid of a subsidy
III the year 1875 a total OF S6O,Ol0 ar
ticles were pledged, and of these S46,-
SOP were redeemed, remarkable re-
demption as compared with the proper
tons of the average pawnshop. The
unredeemed pledges were sold by pub
lie auction and whenever they brought
more than the face of the pledge the
balance was set to the account of the
pledger, TO be refunded any time with
in three years

NEW YORk'S SKYSCRAPERS
Sky Line of Gotham Rapidly and Con-
finuaIIy Changing.

Sky Line of Gotham Rapidly and Con-
finuaIIy Changing.
The skyline of New York is changing
so rapidly that the American travelei
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, fol
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
We're 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 stecple, like the spires of
the old cathedrals, uplifted high above
the earth; but its 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.
