WOMEN AT MEMS COLLEGES.
There Has Been a large Increase
In the Number of Girls At
tending Yale.

Women are rapidly invading the do
main of the men in college work in
America as they are competing with
the members of the sterner sex abroad.
The large number of women students
enrolled in the graduate department Of
Yale at the present time calls attention
to feature of academic life which is
assuming larger proportions every
year. 1t was in 1892 that the educ0-
tional world was somewhat startled by
the information that the corporation
of Yale had decided to open its grad
uate department. to bachelors of art
without distinction of sex, and there
were many forewarnings concerning
the failure of such an iconoclastic de-
parture.
During the six years that the expert
ment has been under way the women
students have had to struggle against
innumerable difficulties. but it is be-
lieved that a last they have established
their position upon permanent foot
ing. There is hardly any member Of
the faculty who does not have a good
word to say in their favor. and even the
undergraduates are beginning to re-
gard their presence upon the campus
with Indifference. The official eata-
logue Of the present year has not yet
been published, but it is known that
there are, at the present time, about 40
women students at Yale. and there are
not lacking those who claim that it
would be impossible TO find among the
1850 members Of the university 40 stu
dents who contribute more to the real
scholarship of the institution, and who.
are regarded with greater respect by
the professors under whose instruction

ahead, we were his friends, and gath

with us it was necessary to have com

But what satisfying soldiers Lawtou
and Chaffee are! Both seasoned, pro-
fessioral military types. Lawton, big
and long, forcefuI and with iron deter

darkest hours of the night and whose

Such a head We used to sit around and

KLEPTOMANIA A DISEASE.

Kleptomania is a much more preva-

Thieving, it is called with the lower
classes, kleptomania is the yelled title
for the same offense with those Of high

the same thing, and it is not always the
servants who cause stickpins and other
attractive trifles to mysteriously disap-
pear from milady's dressing table or
bric-a-b rac from the dressing-room.
Every woman who entertains much
knows the ineXplicable way in which
certain articles are lost. and, although

BLOOM AND DOOR.
A Close Connection Has Been Dis
covered between Color and
Perfume.

An exhaustive examination of flower
ing plants reveals that. Only about ten
per cent, Of them are odoriferous. The
red flowers and those which have COM
bined colorirgs approximate to this
average. while yellow flowers arc
slightly below il. OF blue flowers
only five per cent. are scented, and in
those Of violet color the proportion is
still farther reduced. White flowers are
most odoriferous, Is per cent. of them
being fragrant, and it is Il matter of
common observation that the white va
rictics of garden flowers are generally
more highly scented thar the colored
members of the same species.
It has been noted that flowers of a
brownish hue have usually disagreed

las or carriOn flowers the CGor is scarce
~ distinguishable from that of putre-
scent meat. and proves attractive to
those insects which feed on decayipg
substances. As rule where the infor-
escence is brilliant and conspicuous.
perfume is deficient, but many striking
exceptions will readily suggest them
selves. The perfume, like the coloring
of flowers, plays an important part in
securing cross fertilization by the
agency of insects, and the presence of
one attractive factor enables the plant
to dispense in many cases with the

POPULAR RULE.
1t Has Always Proved to BE n Flat
Failure Among Back
ward Races.

Anent the proposition to make our
newly-acquired dependencies self-gov-
crning, it is interesting to note that par
liamentary government has invariably
proved a fat failure in semiciYilized
countries.
The negro republics of Liberia and
Hayti form the most glazing example;
but it would hardly be correct, after
all, to describe their government as
parliamentary. With the exception of
Chill, which, thanks to q very large ad-
mixture of English and Scotch blood in
its best families, stands far ahead CT the
rest, nearly all the Central and South
American republics are pitiable paro-
dies on popular government. The
grossest corruption and incapacity are
thinly yelled by paper constitutions
and clouds CT high-sounding verbiage.
In nearly every case they are ruled by
political adventures, who govern really
by force, and will rather plunge the
country into the horrors of a revolution
than forego the spoils of office. The re-
suit of this Geplorable state Of things
is to be found, first, in almost con-
slant turmoils, which are merely fac
ton fights on huge scale; and, second
ly, in the backward condition Of the
countries, in spite of their very great
natural advantages; ard in the further
fact that, where these advantages are
developed, it usually by foreign brains

Whether or not the grating now
