Colleges Turn Out spinsters.

Investigators who have been study
ing the college girl versus marriage
make the extraordinary assertion that
the percentage of marriages among
women colkgians falls far below that
of the less highly educated woman,
says the New York Mail and Express.
For example, take one college-Bryn
Mawr-and the classes Of SO and 81
for illustration.
Class 'S9-Ten years out of school,
averaging now 1898 years OF age;
twentyesix members, eleven married,
two studied three years postgraduate
to take the degree OF Phi. ID. Neither
of these has married.
Class '94-Five years out Of school,
averaging now 27-2s years of age;
twenty in class; three have married;
three studied one year extra to take
degree of A. NJ, one stayed three years
To take Phi. ID.
OF seventy-eight women who have
held fellowships ten have married. or
Is per cent; Of 161 graduates thirty
nine have married, or "a per cent; of
225 girls who did not stay to take their
degrees thirty EIGHT have married or
II per cent; of ga A. BIS thirty-two
married, or IA per cent.
Very few women will agree, how
ever, with the conclusions Of the Rev.
DR.. e. Winchester Donald, made pub
lie in speech delivered at Abbott
academy, AndOver, that the methods
of education followed In nearly all the
female colleges make pupils unwoman-
ly and too erudite." They may make
them critical and develop their dis
cernment and discretion, two attrib-
utes which women greatly need to get
along in the world whether married or
single, but in the sensible words OF one
undergraduate is found the true solu-
ton Of the problem. She says: Grad
yates leave college at the age OF q
or %, and are less likely to rush into
marriage. They think longer and look
at maternity more seriously. While |
must admit that there is great diff
ference in the percentage OF married
women who graduate compared to
those who do not, / do not think that
girls erudition scares a young man
or creates desire to remain single,
but makes a woman more sensible and
restraints her from rushing unheed-
ingly into wedlock."

A PARADISE FOR BIRDS.
SUCH is THE RoOMY WHITE
HOUSE GROUNDS.
All Kinds OF Birds Seek a Home Here,
Including the Little Sparrow
which Is u Great
Nuiseno~.


Birds having a keen eye out for resi-
dence quarters in Washington find the
white house grounds the most fashion
able and select nelghborhood they can
enter, says the Washington Star. This
is especially so of birds desiring quiet
life, without being subjected to the
rubber necking" of other birds, ami
mails and human beings. Sparrows in
great numbers have their homes in the
grounds, but they would be Just as
much at home ON Pennsylvania ave-
nue., and il is said by the bird doctor
at the white house that the sparrows
which live around there are recluses,
or have been run away from the thick
ly settled quarters of the city There
is plenty of room for more of these
little rascals in the grounds, where the
trees furnish quiet places for building
and Matching, but the great majority
OF these birds appear not to care much
for these delightful grounds. For feed
ing purposes the white house grounds
are not "A success, because they are
always kept clean. In addition TO the
value of the grounds for residence pur-
poses, there is one distinct advantage.
That is in the bathing facilities. The
white house sparrows are like Japan
csc people in this respect. When they
are not chattering about this thing and
that they are bathing in the different
fountains in the grounds. At all hours
N h.A Hau Inn n "A n ON nj hn
morning. the little sparrows assemble
at the fountains hit to the leaves of
the water plants and dive and duck
as long us they desire. They are not
good swimmers and do not wear fancy
bathing suits. Where water is conven-
lent sparrows are clearly little ami
mails EaclHleaf of water plant is
strong enough to hold the weight of
bird and there is not much danger Of
drowning. Al any rate, no life guards
are stationed by the sparrows To watch
and protect incautious birds.
Blackbirds. robins, thrush, bluebirds
and crows make their homes in the
white house grounds, together with
other varieties. Nearly all the year
round fODlns may De seen III the
grounds, and they have their nests
somewhere about. They fly about the
front of the grounds and hunt among
the flowers and plants for worms.
They do not battle themselves, like the
sparrows. They are comparatively
tame and no one bothers them. These
few robins have been in the grounds
for years. They do not go far north.
like the others of their tribe, in the
summer months. The Washington eli
mate suits them. In the winter they
disappear for trip TO the winter re-
sorts in the south. but come back in the
early spring. The blackbirds seen in
the grounds are big fellows. half as
big as crows and just as glossy black
A raincrow which lives in the
grounds and in the trees of Lafayette
square can be heard just before each
rain, giving his peculiar warning that
rain may be expected. Old-timers AT
the white house say that this bird is
a better prophet than the weather bu-
reau, SO far as rain is concerned.

They Were Unknown

The princess Of Wales had a pleas
ant and interesting stay in Venice. Her
royal highness is travelling strictly in
cognito. Pricess Victoria and Princess
Charles of Denmark were at the sta
ton waiting to receive their royal
mother. No one recognized the three
princesses. who enjoyed making their
expeditions as ordinary sightseers.
Their royal hlghnesses drove TO the
Castle Of Miramar, and were not per-
mitted by the custodian to enter the
castle, which must have been novel
experience for the princess of Wales.
On another occasion an innkeeper
made great trouble of providing cof-
fee for the royal ladies', of whose rank
he was OF course ignorant. The day
was cold and finally the three prin-
cesses were supplied with the steam
ing beverages. II must be not little

of the disappo ntment fet over the Eight

greater than che trade expected, causing
the market 10 open firm and higher. At
no time, however, did the market show
speculative strength and it slowly reacted

appear TO have bought some cotton in the
South. They report scarcity of cars
throughout the Gotten states, which is con-
tirmed by Brads streets weekly report. The
movement of the crop continues on small
scale and there is no indication of an in
crease except at Texas points. At Houston,
there is an increase over fast week, but it
does not approach last year, nor can it

are correct.
