beside what the country did in 1862.

NEW RECIPROCITY TREATIES

Under the reciprocity clauses of
the Dingley tarid law treaties have
been signed covering our commerce
with France, Portugal Bermuda,
Jamaica and Barbados
These treaties win have two ben
efceut effects upon the people of
our own country by reducing the
duties on many articles that we
need, and by putting many other
articles on the free list, they will
excuse the American people from a
heavy burden Of taxation. BY Sc
curing a corresponding reduction
in foreign duties upon our products
they will open new doors to our
merchants aud manufacturers.
The first Of these effects is the

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 10, 900 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 $50, 600. Five thousand of these
have done such 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 pitifuIly small,
and our case seems already lost. But
let us put over against these col
lege graduates those who are not grad
yates.
Asthe male population of the United
States grows up and passes through
the age of college education, a little
more than l 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 u country since the begin
ming of III history at $50, 900, the
non-graduate males OF graduate age
number Is, 600, 600. OF this vast null
titude only 10, 900 have done such
work as merits recognition in an ency-
clopadia 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
self for his work by submitting HIM
self to the discipline furnished by the
college Or university increases his
chances o. success fiftyfold. Professor
John Carleton Jones, in The Forum.

is reached in Germany. which has 175

Sad Changes at Twickenham,

The pulling down of the quaint sea-
side and riverside hostleries that have
long been the recognized haunts of
picnic and pleasure parties still
goes on. The famous Eel Pie Island.
that lies in midstream of the Thames
at Tw%ickenham, has a hotel, built some
seventy years ago, which has ever
since been the resort of many a boat
ing party on summe afternoons. The
rustic character of the house and the
unspoiled wildness of the island have
been the chief charms of the place;
but these features are to disappear be-
fore next summer, for a new and more
pretentious hotel is to be erected here
to exploit the custom which the old
riverside house has secured. Nor is
this all, 1t would seem that Twick-
enham has grown sc greatly that it
demands a nearer means of access to
the other side of the river than bv
going round to Richmond or Kings
ton bridges. A bridge across Twick-
enham Ferry, at the east end of the
island, is contemplated, and the beauty
and the romance of the famous ferry
will thus be things Of the past.-Lon.

When a man commits suicide be.
cause he is afraid that he will catch

ceeds in making himself ridiculous.

he had symptoms of the grip, and he

One of Maupassant's most charming
stories is based on the same idea. A
man was to. fight a. duel, and he
brooded over the possible result to

ADMIRAL DEATH.

Boys, are ye calling a toast tonighH

Fill for a bumper strong and bright,
And here's to Admiral Death.
He's sailed In a hundred builds O boat,
He's fought in a hundred kinds O. coat,
He's the senior flag of all that float,
And his names Admiral Death.
Which of you looks for a service free?
(Hear what the sea-Wind saith
The rules o the service are but three
When We fail with Admiral Death,
Steady your hand in time o. squalls,
Stand TO the last by him that falls,
And answer clear to the voice that calls,
LAY, Ay! Admiral DEATH"
How will We know him among the rest?
(Hear what the sea-wind saith
BY the CLINT O the stars that cover his
breast
Ye may find Admiral Death.
By the forehead grim with an ancient scar,
By the voice that rolls like thunder far,
BY the tenderest eyes Of all that are,
Ye may know Admiral Death.
Where are the lads that sailed before?
(Hear what the sea-wind saith
Their bones are white by many a shore,
They sleep with Admiral Death.
Oh. but they loved him, young and old,
For he left the lagyard, and took the bold.
And the fight was fought, and the story's
told,
And they sleep with Admiral Death.

The era of small ships is rapidly
passing away as the enormous bulk of
the worlds commerce is increasing
and the necessity Of speed and econ
omy is realized. Large twelve-knot
steamers with triple-expansion en-
gines are cheaper than sailing vessels,
not only because of the vast increase
of single cargoes, but because the
steamer can make three voyages to
the sailing vessels one, the saving in
interest and operating expenses more
than offsetting the added expense of
