STUDENTS WITHOUT MONEY.
II They Are AGabIe and Energetic
They Can Readily Make Their
Way Through College.

There is no reason why a students
food should cost him one cent, writes
Jesse IyHch Williams, advising young
men how 10 work their way through
college, in Ladies' Home Journal.
Every freshman has justas much right,
and certainly has as good a chance, to
get up an eating club among his own
classmates as the upper classmen have.
A club means merely tableful Of eight
or sixteen more or less congenial fell
lows, generally classmates. The man
who runs the club does not cater for it.
In most cases he does absolutely moth
ing except gather the crowd together
at the beginning of the year, and in re-
turn he receives his own meals free Of
charge. When he has once started it a
man can generally run a club all
through his course. AS for clothes, a
student ought to be able 10 earn them
during the long three months of sum
mer. The present generation does not
wait on table at summer hotels, but 1t
frequently manages the hotels or acts
as clerks Many hotel proprietors pre-
fer college men because they are apt
TO be gentlemen, and they ar0 good at
organizing athletic games, etc. Other
students act as bathing masters, or
managers of boat houses, or eorre-
spondents of city papers at watering
places, or even as professional enter
tainers at summer hotels where young
men are scarce.

cENTENARIANs IN SPAIN.
The Percentage Is Very Large IN
the Southern Provinces and
steadily Increasing.

Would you like to live to the age Of
Methuselah? Then, according TO the
latest authority on the subject Of
Longevity, you should spend the re-
mainder of your days in the south OF
Spain.
According to statistics which have
Just been published in Madrid, Spain is
wonderfully rich in centenarians. The
compiler, indeed, estimates that there
arc 25 centenarians to every 100000
inhabitants. Moreover, this proposition
has been constantly increasing during
the last half century. In 1857 there
were ~ centenarians TO every 100000;
In 1867 there were 1897, and in 1877 the
number rose as high as 29.s1. Fer a
few years after 1857 the proportion
was not as great as usual, but since 1856
Il has recovered almost all Of its los'
ground.
Centenarians thrive better in some
parts of the country than in others In
Andalusia there are more than any
where else. In Malaga the proportion
IS something like 100 to every 100000
of inhabitants. On the other hand
there is not a single centenarian in Tho
provinces of Soria, Alava and Teruel
Broadly speaking, it may be said tha'
eentenarians flourish best in tho coun
try south of the Sierra Morena, the pro
portion there being approximately
from so to 60 to every 100000 of In
habitants. In the north, on the con
trary, it is very rare, nay, almost impos
sible, TO find a single centenarian.

DONE BY MACHINERY.
Luxuries as Well as Necessities Have
Deen Multiplied by In
ventlon.

BY the aid of improved machinery,
that which at the beginning of the cen
tury was the luxury of the rich is now
the comfort Of the poor, says the Engi-
neering Magazine. Material and labor
are no longer the sole factors of produc-
tion. Assisted by machinery and tools,
mans labor now converts the raw ma
terials of nature into the useful, nee
essary, and, in some cases, even the ar
tistic paraphernalia of civilization with
one-third of the exertion formerly nee
essary. Even Russia, the latest COM
petitor in the industrial field, has, with
the aid OF machinery, more than
doubled, since 1861, the individual out
put of those employed in her manufac-
tories. In the course Of 20 years (1s7o-
1900 the number of persons employed
in the American manufactures has
more than doubled, and the value of
their product has nearly trebled. ]

BRYAN Is CONSISTENT.

There is persistent and painstaking
effort on the part OF the Republican
and Democratic opponents of William
Jennings Bryan to misconstrue and
misrepresent his utterances on public
questions. When he was here three
years ago such an attempt was made,
and the experiment has been tried in
many other places. The latest
thing OF this kind is tc
credit him with declaration that
he is in favor OF sidetracklng the free
silver issue. In response to this he
says:

few days, and in them l discuss politi-
cal questions. My language is not am
biguous, and / make no effort to hide
my attitude on any issue; I am not ig-
noring any leading question. II those
