The wisdom and unwisdom of self
repression is carefully weighed by
Mary E. Baldwin, in a paper on safety
Valves III Home Life" in which she
contends that high pressure life calls
for some protective measures, and the
woman who engages mind and heart in
her purpose, even though she may not
be classed among public workers, in
stinctively seeks lrer safety valves
These are peculiar To her individuality,
and suit, as she imagines, her needs
but sometimes they are not chosen
wisely, and are overused. The intense
nature, with the greatest need for let
ting off steam, is the one who will
make the mistake in this direction. The
home of such woman is often place
where tragedy is frequently enacted.
Her nervous system, wrought up to a
point bordering upon frenzy, her men
tai and physical energies following It's
lead. there comes Il moment when the
strain must be relieved or mind and
body will both give way. 1t Is not an
easy thing to acquire the habit of with
holding the worst from the dearest
friend and showing him only the best;
but it is possible when the heart Is
right and the purpose has even germ
OF strength One brave, gentle woman
confided to a friend her experience IN
trying to relieve the tension of mind
and spirit without giving discomfort tC
those whom she loved. Her piano be
came her abiding friend whenever she
felt the need of letting herself down
from a too highly strung condition. she
played off her feelings and gradually
became calm. The woman with mental
resources, and with wise discrlmlna-
ton. will learn to choose her safety
valves with reference TO the comfort
and peace of the home, and VIII thus

The recent request made by the pres.
ident of the University of Chicago for
an additional $5,O0O0OO to be added to
its endowment funds shows how costly
n thing a great university is. This in
stitutiOn is one of the Youngest of the
great schools of the country; it has al
ready received in endoWmentS about
S12,OOOO0O, but yet there is an annual
deficiency of something like 100000,
which is not provided for and has to be
raised from outside sources. TO pro-
vide for this about $3,O00,00O more
should be added to the revenue-pro-
ducing funds of the institution. The
University of Chicago is not in this re-
spect an exception to the general rule
in this country. 1t costs over 81 100000
annually to run Harvard University
and its endowment is about $4,000, 600.
Yale has funds aggregating 81, 5S2. 600,
and yet the institution is poor and Is
always pressed for adequate funds to
carry on its educational work. Column
bia, in the city Of New York, has So
100000 in funds, but it is restricted in
each of its departments by lack of mon
ey. Some of the other universities in
this country having large productive
funds are: Cornell, New York, $4,000
coo; Girard. Pennsylvania. $15,21O,O0O;
Johns Hopkins, Maryland. $3,O0O,OOO;
Leland Stanford Jr., California, So
100000; Northwestern, Illinois, 50, 465.-
600; Tufts, Massachusetts. S1,7OO,OO0:
Vanderbilt University, $1,10O,OO0 and
Wesleyan University, $1,172,0OO. The
number of schools with endowments of
less than $1,000000 are to be counted
by the score.

Astonishing disclosures as to the diff
ficulty of securing recruits for the army
were made by the Philadelphia Ledger
Stations had been opened in that city,
and one day 100 applicants were eX-
amined. Only four of the 100 could
pass the test and were accepted Thou
sands of men have offered to enlist in
Philadelphia since the war began, but
only small proportion of them have
been accepted, all the rest having been
turned away on account of mental or
physical disability, principally the lat
ter, since the mental requirements in
clude nothing harder than simple math-
ematics, and previous experience is
not essential as in the case of the navy.
The Ledger thinks that such figures i'll
dictate a degree of physical stamina
among the applicants so low that it
should engage the attention of Scien-
titic students. The only consolation it
can offer Is that ut is not improbable
that many of the applicants were of the
sort that have failed TO meet the physl-
cal requirements of ordinary trades
and industries"

Dicks relief there was no pursuit.
Quickly he ran along the deck and
mounted the bridge to where the skip
per stood.
That night as the first mate Of the
Only Son came up from his cabin with
a revolver in his hip pocket and n grin
on his face, he was met ut the head OF
the stairs by the captain and Mr.
Lancelot. TO his surprise both Of these
gentlemen were armed, while behind
them he observed the despised stowa-
way, Dick Harley, with a naked cutlass
in his hand
"Mr Billings" said the captain, you
will please throw up your hands. Your
little plot has been discovered. All,
thank you-" tas he drew the pistol
ont of Billings pocket, you may return
now to your cabin and consider your
self a prisoner"
"Wh-what Is the meaning of this,
sirE sputtered the mate.
The meaning, Mr.. Billings" put in
Iancelot, lis that this boy here heard
your whole delightful scheme to cob
the Chartered Company of l25O,o00. He
very promptly informed the captain.
Your accompliceS in the forecastle were
captured in their hunks, and most Of
them have confessed eyerything.'
Billings looked at the speaker, then at
Dick Harley.
"rhe Stowaway" he cried. "The
miserable little rat of a stowaway."
yes, Mr., BillingS-the stowaway has
saved the Chartered Company of South
Africa f2JO,0O0 and staunch, sea
worthy ship. You will find that the
company knows how to be grateful"
And grateful, indeed, the company
proved itself to be. \ month later

awaiting trial for attempted piracy in

new hospital at Salisbury. The sur

compelled TO leave school on account Of
unpaid bills, he had resolved to go to

The skipper nodded.
"That's correct, Mr.. Billings" he an
swered. IF he doesn't want to pay
for his passage, try him with the ropes

AYE, aye, sir
And again Billings grinned eloquent
ly as he led the boy forward.
A quiet elderly gentleman who had
been watching these proceedings now
stepped forward.
Don't hurt him, Mr.. Billings" he
said. Hes only a child you know"

mate. giving Dick Harley's ear an ex-
ira tweak.
The skipper laughed.
