chances of the College Graduate.

"Appleton's Cyclopadia of Ameri-
can Biography" contains, in round fig
ures, Is, 900 names. Of that number
a few over 5000 are the names of col
lege graduates, and 10000 approx
mately are the names of those who are
not college graduates. 1t is extreme
ly difficult to estimate with any degree
of accuracy the number of college
graduates who have lived in our coun-
try since the beginning of our history.
Suppose we adopt the usual estimate
of 100000. Five thousand of these
have done snch work as to deserve rec
ognition; that is, one man in every 80
sent out by the colleges and univer-
sites has reached some distinction.
This proportion seems pitifully small,
and our case seems already lost. But
let us put over against these COL
lege graduates those who are not grad
yates.
AS the male population of the United
States grows up and passes through
the age of college education, little
more than per cent. actually gradu-
ates from colleges and universities =
for ease in calculation, let us call it
per cent. Then, if we count the grad
yates in our country since the begin
ming of our history at $50. ZOO, the
non graduate males of graduate age
number 15, 600, 600. OF this vast null
titude only 10000 have done such
work as merits recognition in an ency-
clop@dia of biography. Only one in
every 1900 of the non-graduates has
attained distinction, while one in every
80 of the college graduates has been
equally fortunate. That is to say, the
boy who takes time to prepare him

An E,npress, Vanity.

The late Empress Elizabeth of
Austria, like her namesake of Eng
land, was sensitive about her personal
appearance, and regretted the ravages
OF time to more than the ordinary de-
gree. Her passion for violent riding
and long, very quick walks was con-
nected with her great dread of becom-
ing stout. She had brought on her
recent ill-health by the rigidity with
which she dieted herself in order to
avoid adding to her weight. Although
she was rather tall she made point
of weighing less than 100 pounds,
and would practically starve herself
for some time if she turned the scale
of the weighing machine that always
stood in her bedroom at anything be-
yond that figure. This in her case

It is interesting to perceive how
lively a power of observation and ex-
preston, what degree OF maturity,
alike in intelligence, character and
reading, Robert Louis Stevenson at
eighteen or nineteen already pos
sessed. In one particular, it must be
confessed. namely, in spelling, he
shows himself remarkably boyish.
But Stevenson in truth never learnt
to spell quite in a grown-up manner;
and for this master of English letters
catarrh was apt to be ''cattarrh, "
and neighbor ''nieghbor, and
literature ''litterature" to the end. To
reproduce all these trips and slips in
print would be mere pedantry; and
the normal photography has been
adopted in his letters, except where
he himself is aware of his difficulties
and laughs over them. .-Scribner's
