Girls who attend some Of the wom-
ems colleges in England are wailing
because they don't have enough to eat,
and they don't like what they do have.
The parents are aGulng their vices to
the lament, because their daughters
are driven by hunger to buy food out
side the college, the bills for this ex-
ira diet being an additional charge ON
the parental purse already taxed with
high enough fees" This recalls the

Wichita is a typical boom" town
Twelve years ago it had population
of $4,000. Today it has perhaps $4,000.
which is a considerable recovery from
low tide in 1895, when it had less than
$4,000, according to estimates based
upon the number OF names in the d.
rectory. In 1868, before the boom
broke, Wichita real estate was selling
at New York prices, and they point out
lots on the main street that sold for
$500 front foot for which the own
ers would now be glad to get $500 or
S40O. The real estate exchanges in
New York in good times will reach
about $32,000,000 a year; in chicago,
in 1892, just before the worlds fair,
the transfers, as shown by the record
er's books, were about $50, 000, 900, but
at Wichita during the five months pre-
ceding the collapse in 1888, more than
$35 100000 in town lots changed hands.

The sons and daughters of the
princely families of Rome are said to
have pretty hard lot. They are gen.
orally very poor, yet they have to live
in enormous houses and keep up ira
dition of magniicence. The young men
drive in dog carts which, according to
rumor, are owned Jointly by a dozen
Of them. The young women are to
be seen driving on the Pincio, arrayed
in stylish hats and coats, wearing good
gloves and carrying pretty parasols.
And yet" says the English CORE
spondent who is responsible for this
gossip, their distract expression shows
hat they are uneasy in their minds.
The particular form of guilt which
burdens their souls is a dread that
some one will invite them to descend
Ind stroll about the bandstand, reveal
ng the fact that their skirts are by
10 means SO smart as their coats or
waists, and their boots more open to
criticism than their gloves New

Two hustling advertising agents are
rying their utmost to buy all the

merits of their numerous wares. Be-
