A Thrifty Prince,

Little Prince Alexander, the eldest
son of the dead Prince Henry, husband
of Princess Beatrice of England, has
always been noted, since his earliest
childhood, for bartering proclivities.
He lends marbles and tops at interest
to his cousins, the little Connaughts,
and on one occasion he got up quite a
little corner in dolls, which he succeed
ed in purchasing at a great reduction
from his small Albany cousins.
The other day he received a present

quickly spent it, applied for the second

four women in the United States for
higher education amounted to $3,446,-
400; of this sum Cora J. Flood gave the
largest amount, or $2,O00000, and Helen
Gould, beside her donation to the Gov
ernment, gave $37 900 for educational
purposes.
The record Of gifts to charity and for
country for the year now ending Is Il
notable one and is not entirely covered
in the following list
Half million dollars, given by Mrs
Lydia Bradley, of Peoria H., comes
next to Mrs. Stanfords gift. 1t was
presented last summer to the Bradley
Polytechnic Institute, and constituted
her second donation, the first being a
gift of the land on which the institute
was built and the money to build It.
That involved a sum approXmating
$250,000. In addition, Mrs. Bradley has
given to Peoria 1877 acres of land for
park, she has built a church, a home
for aged women and many other
smaller institutions.
Miss Floods presentation of her
fathers country place, at Menlo Park,
to the University of California, made in
1897, has been supplemented recently
by gift of money. The house and its
contents are valued at 81 900. 900, and
tract of nearly 5000 acres is included In
the transfer.
Another California woman has been
munilicent in her gifts; this is Mrs. Il.
b. Crocker, who has conveyed to the
Benevolent and Protective order of
Elks her home in Sacramento as a me-
mortal of her husband. 1t is valued at
100000. Mrs. Phoebe Hearst and Mrs.
Leland Stanford are constantly adding
to their gifts to the universities they
have built up in California, and their
benefactions go up into the millions.
Mrs. Stanford's latest contribution

AN ANT ARCTIC OASIS.
Queer Discovery Made During the
Recent Expedition.


Recent Antarctic discoveries, by the
Belgian expedition, are described in the
Century by Frederick A. Cook, OF
Brooklyn, whose article Is fully illus
trated. AN oasis III a snowy wilder
ness" is the phrase he employs in char
acterlZing a certain bit of the Antarctic
land.
Being still unwilling to advance into
the unknown region before us while en-.
shrouded In mist, we drew near prom.
inent mountain peak to make a debark,
ment. This peak was a perpendicular
cliff, free of snow to the sea shore. II
was one of number extending far into
the southeast. as we learned ON the fol.
lowing day. We made debarkment al
its base. Here was life in profusion, as
indeed there was on every rock where
life could gain a footing. The noise from
the birds, which re-echoed from cliff to
cliff. was deafening. The lower rocks
were lined with snoring and grunting
sea leopards. Columns of vapor rose
above the water, followed by hiss like
that OF u steam engine, and second
later the blue back of whale, with its
long fin and ponderous tail, lashed the
water into foamy whirlpool. The
great wall of land ice rose to each side
of the black cliff, which gave us shelf
as landing place. From this wall came
frequent sounds like the explosion of n
cannon, which were followed by
Snlash and a commotfou I'm tho xyotar
With such reports parts OF the wall
would constantly break away and fall
Into a million pieces, strewing the wa
ter with small fragments of Ice, but not
with icebergs. Above us rose a cliff to
an altitude of about 1000 feet; out from
this were projecting mantel-like rocks
which served as resting places for cor
morants and sea gulls.
Here the young ones, dressed In gray
down, coaXed their mothers for food.
We expected to see the little things drop
from the narrow resting places, to be
destroyed on our heads or ON the rocks
below, but such an accident rarely hap
pened. Our greatest surprise here was
the discovery of large quantities of
moss and llchens, which gave the spot
an unexpected appearance of vegetable
life and color. After seeing nothing but
ice and black rocks for 30 many DAYS.

A Modest REQUEST,

Ambition is an admirable trait, but 1t
is not the single qualification for sue
cess. Among highly ambitious youths
must be numbered German who for
several years had been apprenticed to a
cooper.
The young man felt that constant
coopering was not compatible with his
hopes for the future. Accordingly, af-
ter deliberation, a few months ago he
addressed a letter to the head Of the
gerat Rothschild banking house at
Frankfort, setting forth at some length
his strong dislike for his trade and ask
ing to be accepted as IAN aptcentice

application in learning ''the business.
