A Boston newspaper has been trying to find out, through interviews with col lege authorities, whether the profes- sions are overcrowded, and whether. young men in professional life can earn their expenses during the first year. It is true that the opinions of deans of the professional schools can not be altogether free from prejudice, as 1t is the duty of each one of them to build up his particular department. The facts, however, bring out some points that cannot fail to be of interest to the many youths who are hesitating between a business and professional career. The deans of both the Boston and Harvard law schools say that the legal profession is not overcrowded. Prof. Ames of Harvard says that young lawyer cannot expect to make his bread and butter the first year. Dean Bennett of the Boston Law School says that any young man who is in earnest can succeed in the law, but adds the rather contradictory ad- mission that two thirds of the lawyers to-day could do practically all the law business there is to be done." AS to medicine, Dr. Richardson of the liar yard Medical School states that prac- titioner of even mediocre abilities will succeed if he attends to business, but adds that he cannot go to football games and sail about the harbor. Few young doctors pay their way the first year. Dr. Smith, dean of the Harvard dental school, is more optimistic and declares that there is plenty of room for dentists. The outlook for the be- ginner is better now than at any previ- ous time He said that the first year was uphill work, but that a number of men make $2,000 the first year, though the average for the novice would be tunity for youth, judged from the opin- ions of the secretaries of the Lawrence Scientific School of Harvard and of the Massachusetts School of Technology, are to be found in science. Secretary Love of the former school says: ''I should say that there are not one-half enough professional graduates in engi- nering to-day. I do not think there is the slightest fear of overcrowding. In mining, civil, mechanical and electrical engineering I know of no difficulty that our graduates have had in getting started" If there are any conclusions to be derived from these opinions it is that there is room in the professions, not only at the top, but in the middle, and in some professions at the begin ming. It would have been interesting if the deans of the different theological schools had been asked to add their testimony.

Kaisers Parting; Words.

Berlin.-The Lokal Anzeiger says the Emperior, when addressing the troops at Bremerhaven, before they sailed for China, said:
 Every German has been filled with pride to learn that the highest praise bestowed upon German warriors has come from the mouths of foreign lead ers The task for you is great one. That people like the Chinse should cast to the wind international rights a thousand years old, and treat with scorn the sanctity of an ambassador and the rights of hospitality in a manner so horrible is unprecedented in the his tory of the world. Every civilization not founded on Christianity is sure to be brought to naught.
 ''So I send you out. May you all prove your efficiency, devotion and bravery, bear joyfully all discomfort and uphold the honor and glory of our arms. You must set an example of dicipline, self-domination and self control.
 ''It you close with the enemy, re- member this: Spare nobody, make nc prisoners. Use your weapons so that for thousand years hence no China man will dare to look askance at any German. Open the way for civiliza. tion once for all. /"

Southern Provinces Affected.

Hongkong.- The signs of menacing activity on the part of a secret society known as the ''Triads" are causing alarm. The Boxers are believed to be an offshOot of the "Triads. - whose notifications are widespread througout the southern provinces of China. The organization is distinctly anti-foreign and anti Machu, and numbers of Can ton troops are enrolled in it's ranks.
 A report is current in Canton that the ''Triads'' are preparing for a night attack on the chief shameen, and that the first sign will be the absconding of native servants. The greatest appre hension prevails, although at present Canton is quiet.
 Many ''Triads" have been arrested in Hongkong during the last few months. A Chinaman was arrested, July 8, on acharge of being a member of the "Triads.' The evidence showed that he had held the ranking command in:the organization:in.the two Kwangs, with headquarters at Sai Kung, new territory, where he had been active in enrolling members His arrest therefore is of greatst impor- tance. The insignia found on his per son includes the highest degrees.
 An opium farmer has received a tele- gram asserting that Ii Hung Chang is unable to proceed to Peking and will return to Canton probably calling al Hongkong on the way.

ashington.-Adimral Memphis let ter, given publicity by the Navy De- partment made the direct statement that the imperial authorities were in sympathy with the Boxers, though he added that the government was after ward paralyzed and incapable of con- trolling the situation.
 This was the first official declaration to reach our government contradictory of the Chinese representations that the imperial had steadfastly and from the first opposed the Boxer movement, and our government is bound to accept the word of it's own officers until that is overcome by irrefutable evidence. Then the exchanges are in constant progress between the powers are tend- ing more and more to cast suspicion up- on the genuineness of many cOmmuni- cations that have come from Peking from Chinese governmental sources.
 If it should be finally established that there has been an attempt on their part to practice gigantic fraud upon the world, that fact may call for a change of attitude on the part of the United States government toward Chi ma. This would not affect the military policy already under way, but merely Gn0 UoCnnlCdl TeldIlOnS D6GW60n U0e two governments, which probably would closely approximate step of formal war
 The Navy Department contributed a brief news item in the shape of vim dication by Admiral Remy of the United States marines from the gen. eral charge of footing at Tien-Tsin.

Live Snake for Waist Belt,

A singular but well-authenticated snake story comes from Pleasant Val ley, Md, the principal actors in which were the snake and Miss Cora Legore, a domestic employed by Frederick G. Yingling, a well-known farmer resid- ing near that place.
 Miss Legore went to the barn to milk the cows, as was her customary duty. She did not return as promptly as usual and, becoming uneasy after a time, Mrs. Yingling sent some one to the barn to look for her. She was found lying in a dead faint in cow stall, and upon being revived appeared dazed and frightened. Finally she became suf- ficiently composed to tell the cause of her inconsistencies. She said that while milking she felt something mov- ing about her clothing, but supposed it E was cat, until she felt constriction about her waist, and she found herself looking into the eyes of snake which had wrapped itself about her, and reared it's head in front of her face. She was too much frightened to notice what sort of a serpent was thus con- fronting her. but striking at it with her hand, tainted away. When she was found the snake had disappeared.

Water for Cows.

We find the following paragraph in several exchanges, without being cred ited to any one, and think it impor- tant enough to keep it going: A con- tinental experiment. in watering cows shows that dairy cattle always in their stable gave much better results when allowed constant access to water than when allowed to drink only twice a day. It was found that the milk yield increased and no decrease of fat oc- cured. The daily increase of milk was small, but as estimated, it would inn prove the yield forty gallons per COW per year. A noticeable feature of the experiment is that the COWS drank a little less when permitted to drink at will than when furnished water twice day. By drinking often there was less chilling of the stomach than where water had to be taken twice a day, and each time in large quantities.
 The digestion was improved, as with each small draught of water some gas tric juice was secreted, which was not the case to the same extent where large draughts of cold water had to be taken.

The Southern Pacific has treated it's sandy roadbed between Pomona and Chino with oil.
 For retaining a lost watch Grant La mar, colored, has been sentenced to serve 100 days in jail at Riverside. Thos. Garcia has been sentenced to serve six months in jail for deserting his family.
 A peculiar sickness among some Tu- lare cows is reported by the Register. Some three-year-old heifers have suf- fered most severely, going blind in one or both eyes. The disease first appears as blister or boil, and from that a film grows over the eye. There is no fever.
 The San Diego Union reports the pres ence in that city of John Hind, owner of an extensive sugar plantation in Hawaii, who is on his way to the South for the purpose of studying the labor condition of the negro in that sec tion. Mir. Hind says labor conditions are such in the islands that plantation owners have decided to experiment with negoro labor. There are not enough Japanese coming to the country to supply the increasing demand.

Sir Robert Hart Suicides.

London-The Daily Mails Shanhai correspondent telegraphs that a Rus sian banker, who left Peking July 7 and arrived at Shanghai Wednesday, July 25, says that when he left Peking all the legations had been destroyed and all the foreigners murdered. The min isters, seeing death was inevitable, shot their families.
 Sir Robert Hart, the banker adds, committed suicide in despair.
 : The full text of the Daily Mail s tele- gram is as follows:

He states that the legations were then destroyed. All the foreigners had dis appeared, and he could not say posi- lively if they had been murdered, as he was too frightened to enquire. ''

Like all good men happily married,
 Gladstone owed much to the sympathy,
 advice, appreciation. and common sense Of his wife, the venerable lady who has recently ended her long and admirable career. He also was her debtor in a
 peculiar sense, for she guarded his bodily health and his peace of mind as few pubic men were ever shielded. Her care for his physical welfare and his happiness was so constant, so un- tiring, and so intelligent that she was sometimes spoken of as sort of spe- cial providence watching over his com ;ngs and goings, his food and exercise, his clothing and his sleep. It was once said of her that she kept her famous husband in cotton. for he found the hard angles and corners of life won. derfully smoothed and padded by his wife's shrewd and vigilant protection from whatever might do him harm or cause him needless strain or worry.

Twelve and a Fraction.

The ruler of a small German state has discovered one way of warding off the dire calamity which must result from having thirteen sit at table. A Berlin exchange is the authority for this statement.

 Herr l.. was little late, and the rest of the guests had arrived when he pre- scented himself at the door.

is hard to estimate too highly the value to public man of such assistance. Nd one can weigh accurately the share of Gladstone's life work which would never have been accomplished if he had been unfortunately married, or not married at all. What is certain is that his chances for the great success which he won were immensely increased by the extreme good fortune which came to him early in the form of domestic happiness and remained with him to the end of his life. Young men who are ambitious, sensible, and strong should give due heed to this striking object lesson on the necessity of care in marriage and the wisdom of not fall ing to find a good wife.

The more one thinks of the fine thought that the Victorian era's immor- tals will be, not it's soldiers, but it's phil osophers and poets, the more true does it seem. Liberty has been the watch word of the Victorian literature. Lib erty has not been the gonfalon Of the English soldier. The battle for free dom has been waged by the writers. Ruskin fought against tradition and precedent in art, Charles Dickens and Charles Reed attacked political and so- cial tyranny as did the historians, Grote and Macaulay. Henry Drum mond and John Watson and Martineau have waged pitched battles against in- direction and slavishness in religion. George Eliot and Charlotte Bronte have exposed society's shams and wrongs. Spencer and Lewes have largely destroyed the old philosophy, and Lecky, Carlyle, Buckle and Proud have rewritten the old history. Tenny- son and Browning have thrilled the world for freedom no less than Byron and Shelley. In science especially has d great work been wrought for liberty, as instance in one group, Darwin, Huxley
 Tyndall and Muller, and in another
 Faraday, Herschel and Hugh Miller

The Iowa crop report contains sug-

The Iowa crop report contains a sug- Eestion that may be partly responsible for the short crop of wheat It indi- cates a considerable gain in acreage Of corn and falling off in the acre. ages of wheat and other crops, with improved conditions of live stock. This is an indication that the tendency is more and more each year to devote the farm to corn for stock feeding pur- small grain for market. With the usual prices of grain and stock this is good policy, and it Is advised by most of the agricultural papers which urge it as the best plan for small farmers. The shipping of feed when the stock might be fatlcned on the farm is wasteful. An Illustration Is found in recent number of the Louisiana Planter, which told of the use of molasses in that sec ton Of the country for stock. It seems that while for years low grade molasses has been shipped 70 England from New Orleans for fGttening stock, it had not occurred to the Louisiana planters that 1t would bs mora profitable for them to use the molasses for their own ami mals and save the expense of trans porting the stuff and the cost of the barrels. Last year they began using 1t with profitable results. The same discovery in regard to the profitable ness Of feeding corn seems to have been made by the farmers of the Cen tral West.

 No gunpowder has been exported from the United States to China, Hong- kong or Japan since 1897. China took nearly twice as many firearms from the United States in the last six months of 1899 as she did in the preceding fiscal year, and about four times as many as she did in 1896 or 1898. Hongkong took nearly as many in the last six months of 1899 as it did in the 12 months ended June 30, 1899, and nearly three times as many as it did in 1897.
 It is strongly suspected that good many of the firearms exported to Hong kong found their way into the hands of the Filipinos insurgents. The total exports of firearms and munitions of war to Asiatic countries from the United States cut a small figure as compared with similar exports from Europe to the same countries. For ex- ample in the last annual report of con- sul Ragsdale of Tien-Tsin, dated Octo- Der II, 1899, the following statement is made:
 "Within the last three months Ger man firms have sold to the Chinese government some 200 GOO stands of arms with accompanying munitions of war. The prices paid and patterns furnished have not been made public, but it is reported that the guns are very inferior in quality. Evidently our gun manufactures have not felt it worth while to keep an eye open in China. "
