German Education.

The Germans are the most thoroughly
educated people in the world. What
they know they know we'll.
A fellow traveller had taken his de.
gree of b. A. in the University of Penn.
sylvania and gone to that of Berlin,
where he spent three years. Suisse
Juently travelling in Switzerland, he
met young German whose range and
accuracy of knowledge weee simply be-
yond that of any man of the same age
he had ever met. In many walks and
talks the German had absolutely pumped
the American dry, while his own store
of knowledge had only been touched.
ZACH" said the German student one
day, ~ shall never get my degree. it is
30 difficult, it is SO much, so hard, SO
longl must have patience I used to
see you at the University of Berlin
and, forgive me the question, how did
you get into the university"
"Why, l was admitted on my B. A.
from the University of Pennsylvania, "
replied the American.
"Mein Gottw gasped the German
scholar. ~ knew it must be some way
like that"

THE LITTLE TlTMOUSE.
One Free Bird That Attracts Attention
Among Hundreds of Captives.

Among Hundreds of Captives.

mouse. The window is full of cages
containing birds of various sorts, and
one side of the store is lined with bird
cages stacked up high all along But
there is none that attracts so much at
about the store at will. At night it

other bird there individually, but their
attention is sure to be attracted by this
one as it darts about, free among SO
many captives, and they are likely to
smile at it, they are so pleased with it.
And sometimes children, looking in at
the windows Of the bird store, come in
to tell the clerk that one of the birds
has got loose.
When it has nothing else to do, the
titmouse sits on its gas pipe perch and
perks its head this way and that and
looks about. Sometimes it whets its
beak on the gas pipe Every now and
then it dashes off somewhere. If it
wants q drink, it perches On the rim of

Of the human beholders who wonder
that it doesn't fall in, it has to bend
over SO far to reach the water. But it
gets it, and when it has taken its fill it
flashes back to its perch on the pipe in
the window.
The titmouse catches spiders and 9TH

cages when it will. 1t goes in and out
Of them between the bars with perfect
ease. 1t is very little bird, even with
its plumage il its natural form. With
its feathers pressed against its sides it
can get through very narrow space
between the bars of parrots cage, for
example-with ease. There are in the
window number of parrots cages in a
row. The titmouse almost flies through
these cages, stopping in each perhaps to
eat of the parrots food, but they never
modest it. Parrots that would bite at
the finger of a man who should put his
hand near enough to the outside of their
cage stand back in fright or sheer
amazement when the little titmouse
dashes in and perches on their feed cup.

Dorothy said that it would be de-

never get through it all. Yet the fear
Of once giving way and breaking down

bravely through with that happy day,

the climate was bad for it, Why, Dick
dear, we should not be able to afford
to come home ourselves, if we could
not stand the heat"
That is true" he admitted.

eagerly, that / would rather live as

But, darling, you don't know-you
don't realize how very different life
would be out there" he urged. Here,
very few people take the trouble to
notice us, one way or another, and If
they do, 1t does not much matter. But
out there, as military secretary,

scarcely have a moment to myself. 1

with you, and probably very seldom be
able to come and see you"
But you would be able to come some
times" she answered, with a brave
smile. Every one knows that half
loaf is better than no bread, and IL
one cannot get even half loaf, it is
foolish to quarrel with the slice which
keeps one from starving"
Dicks heart felt like to break, "Doro-

brave, unselfsh wife, every word you
say makes me love you a thousand
times more than did before. My dear

wish; You shall decide everything, and

fidence when you gave them to me-"
So they arranged that Dick should
accept the appointment of military Sec
rotary to Lord Skevversleigh, and that
two days later he should go and see
his uncle again, and tell him the de-
cision to which he had come. Doro-
thy had begged him to go and see him
the following day, but Dick held out
firmly there. No, he would have one
more day of liberty before he went
over to the enemy and gave himself
up.

darling" he said, when Dorothy had
given way about imparting the news

Saving Closet Space in FIats.

New York Evening Post: In fats
and apartments where space is at a
premium, an arrangement suggested by
which additional hanging space is
gained, is to fit wooden poles in the
unused space of closets and wardrobes
into sockets made for the purpose.
Hooks may then be attached to these
poles, and the hanging spaces be
doubled or trebled. The same idea is
useful in a small hall bedroom, where,
perhaps, 1t is impossible to nail the
necessary hook piece close to the wall.

Chaperenage.

Apparently the ideal has shifted from
shyness and reserve to candor and good
fellowship. Chaperonage is a thing OF
the past and all the girls are held capa-
BILE of protecting themselves, while all
men are supposed incapable of over
stepping those airy and imaginary bound
aries which separate familiarity from
freedom and prevent intimacy from be-
coming license. The ideal now is a
strong, athletic, breezy womanhood
which has no tenderness and no reserve
which talks slang and smokes-which is
out in all weathers and all day long
which hunts, fishes, shoots, cycles, goes
to its club, gives dinners to its male
friends. makes up picnics with never a

its boys in profusion and is something

CARUANA'S MAY BALL.
A Treat which Was Enjoyed by Z
Large Abundance.

Large AttueOanccs
The annual May ball of Caruana's
dancing school was held at the National
Rifles Armory last night.
The announcement of the May ball OF
Prof Caruana's school was the promise
of a treat, which was more than verified
by the performance last night. Unlike
most schools OF the kind, this particular
one does not confine itself to the insrruc-
ton of children, but enrolls many grown
persons among its pupils. as was evil
denced by the turnout last evening. The
program was very long one and was
full of special features The work of
Miss Marie Howe was perhaps the best
and most appreciated Her toe
and skirt dancing was the leading
feature of the entertainment Next i'll
point of excellence was little Miss Isabel
Shelton. This little lady gave clever
imitation of Miss Ana Held that was
very pleasing. The last number on the
program was a novelty in the shape OF
a dance by Caruana himself. He seldom
appears on these occasions and 1t was
only after repeated efforts on the part OF
his friends that he was prevailed upon to
put his own name on the program. After
the numbers on the program had all
been executed the floor was cleared and a

PERLOUS WALK
Mrs. Hopper Describes a Jour-
ney in Midair.
A Trip Over Plank Across East
River When BrOOklyn Bridge
Was Being Euilt.

Few would recognize in Mrs. Char
Iotte A. Hopper. chairman of the Polit-
ical Science Committee of Clio. the Miss
Martin who created such a sensation In
1877 by being the first OF her sex to cross
the dizzy footbridge erected across the
East River for the use Of the workmen
who were employed in the construction
of the great suspension bridge. Her
father is at present chief and superin-
tendent of the huge East River struct-
ure.
Mrs. Hopper told to a Tribune re-
porter the story of her feat in the fol-
lowing words:
1T was on Washington's Birthday, 1877.
and as a special treat my father offered
to take me across the footbridge. which
was four feet wide, and extended from
the Brooklyn to the New YorL anchor-
age over the tops of the towers. II hao

inserted in the masonry of the towers.
At three points in the main span tnete
were platforms at right angles TO the
bridge. extending to the outer cable.

the inner cables. These platforms bore
the name of cradles, and when one look
ed down from this dizzy height he real
lied as never before how short the jour-
ney was from the cradle to the grave.
"As we left home our party consisted of
my sister, two brothers, myself and my
father. but we were Joined at the Bridge
office by Arthur V Abbott and DIR. Ed
ward Beecher. We ascended to the top
of the Brooklyn tower by an inclosed
wooden staircase of i31 steps. and had a
magnificent view of botn Brooklyn and
New York, with High Bridge in the dis
tance. Standing on the tower, go feet
above high water. and looking across to
the other tower, and down at the river,
where the boats looked diminutive and
the people like little children. the feeling
that came over me WAS awful. The wire
ropes looked like a thread beneath the
strain of the 10s tons which they had to
bear. As We ventured upon ii a crowd
ed ferryboat was leaving the slip be-
meath US, and man on it waved his
newspare to me to encourage me. L way

emily the whole crowd was waving q

me when l reached the middle of the riv-
er and looked up to the sky above NE,
and knew that beneath me was that frail
structure with the river bubbiing and

forward with my father. and was the
first woman to cross the footbridge.
The news soon spread that ladies
were crossing the footbridge. and the
housetcps were soon thronged and every
window was filed. As We came nearer
earth somebody recognized my father
and cried out. 'Hurrah for Mr.. Martin
The curious rushed forward to get a
good view of us. but we went into the
little office, pulled down the blinds. and
