and one New England college, accord
ing TO the New York Evening Post, 'as-
sures substantial scholarship TO ev-
cry member OF the freshman class" so
far has this gone that one Of the New
England colleges has impaired the prin-
cipal of its endowment in its effort to
multiply scholarships, attract nonpay-
ing students. and thus show a longer
list Of names in its annual catalogue.
Some feel free to charge the theolog-
ical seminaries with being the worst Of
tenders In this Generalization of eduoa-
ton. In these the policy of assistance TO
students has tended, It is argued, to
the "pauperization" of young men
whose function 1t is TO lead the reli-
gious thought of their generation. They
offer not only free tuition. but free room
rent, free text books and free pocket
money. Independence, self-reliance and
manly vigor are not promoted, It is ar
gued, but debilitated by this wholesale
distribution Of money, or its equivalent.
The clerical profession must. II is
thought. deteriorate under such a re-
gime. Indeed, one eminent college pres
ident holds that this feature OF gratn-
itous theological education has already
done much injury, its tendency being to
prevent the clergyman from adapting
himself to the needs Of the modern
world
The opinion at Yale seems TO be that
aid should not be given to so-called
needy students unless the need of 1t
is fully demonstrated: that where the
need OF financial aid has been establish
ed, 1t should be given only to persons
of exceptional intellectual ability; that
even IL both neediness ana exceptional
ability are shown, still the scholarship
should not provide complete support;
finally, that the recipient OF aid should
make some return to the institution
that befriends him by personal service
thereto.
The desire Is that the scholarship
should assist the student, but not cover
all Of his expenses He should not be
permitted to get the idea into his head
he can always depend upon others, or
that 1t is undignifled for an educated
man to earn his own living AS one
has expressed IT, no great Mood will
follow this practice of giving free edu-
cation in the higher institutions II It
results in turning out upon the coun-
try class known in Europe as the
educated proletariat'-an idle. over
educated element which engages In sub
versive political agitations for want Of
remunerative employment. 1t seems to
be a question whether education so gen.
erously offered as 1t is now will in the
end work as great benefits as it would
IL IT was not so easy to obtain and
cost more in the way OF self-sacrifice
and severe personal cxertion.

You Taste With Your Eve.

The sense of taste is divided into
three sections, each of which has
under its charge the distinguishing OF
a special class of tastes. The fore
part is chiefly sensible to pungent and
acid tastes, the middle portion to
sweets and bitters, and the back part
to the flavor of roast meat, butter and
rich and fatty substances Recent ex-
periments, however go to show that
the tongue has less to do with what
we call taste than is generally sup
posed Our notions as to flavor are
greatly helped by the sense of sight,
smell and touch. Blindfold your eyes
and hold your nose, and you will find
1t very difficult to tell whether you are
drinking tea or coffee. or course
your tongue is absolutely helpless in
distinguishing between one substance
and another if your nose does not do
its part, which is about four-fifths of
the work. Thus you really taste with
your eyes and nose-Answers.

New Champion Globe Trotter.

1t is, of course, only to be expected
that the new championship for globe
trottins should belong to an Ohio man.
John W. Bookwalter, rich manufac-
turer of Springfield, Ohio, has tray
eled all over America, Europe, Africa
and most of Asia. He is now on his
way to Thibet the unknown land to
the capital of which white man has
never been permitted to penetrate. In
the last two years he has travelled 25.-
900 miles in Central Asia. Mr.. Book
walter will go to Thibet with an explor-
ing party sent out by the Russian
government He not only expects to
reach the Thibetian capital, but he is
planning for an interview with the
Grand Llama, the head of the Budd-
hist religion. Mr. Bool1walter believes
that Russia is about to take posses
sion of Persia and all the other coun-
tries bordering on India. He also pre-
diets that Russia, China and England
will form an alliance and divide Asia
among them.

NEW WAY TO FELL TREES.
Saws Fast Taking the Place of Axes
In Maine Moods.

The lumbermen are making decid-
ed departure this season in the method
of cutting down trees, using saws in
stead of axes in Telling them.
UP to last year the axe alone was
used by the lumbermen in the Maine
woods. Only the most expert men did
this part of the work, and men spent
years in the Maine woods before they
We're considered skillful enough to be-
come part of the crew employed in
telling trees. By the time a man be-
came a chopper he felt like a second
lieutenant. On account of the num-
ber of years spent in learning this
part of the business the choppers in
trusted with telling trees made I'M
usual good wages, the best receiving
nearly double the amount paid those
who We're part Of the crew who took
care of the timber after it had fallen.
That method of telling trees has
been found by the numbering compan-
les to be very expensive, both on ac-
count of the time required to fell each
tree and the wages paid Last year
the experiment of cutting down the
trees with saws was tried and found
so successful that this year only
small share of the men sent into the
woods are expert choppers, or if they
are expert choppers they are not sent
in with the understanding that they
are to use their axes in cutting down
trees, but rather in trimming the
limbs after the trees have fallen, or
in cutting up the trees into lengths for
handling in the log drives.
There is another gain, that of time
and wages. 1t is in the amount of tim
Der saved on the stump. Formerly it
was common thing to see all over
lot stripped of tree stumps from
one to three feet above the ground.
This part of the tree was the very
best, both because it was free from
knots and because it was the largest
part of the tree in girth. By using
the saw the trees may be cut off near
er the ground and big saving made.
The saw used is slightly different
from the old cross-cut saw, the teeth
being of a pattern fitted to that work.

Not a Heart Stimulant.

The idea that alcohol Is heart stim-
ulant has been thoroughly shown to be
Il fallacy. Alcohol Is an anesthetic, a
narcotic and a depressing agent. 1t at
first seems to increase the heart vigOr
by its paralyzing effect upon the vaso-
motor centers, resulting in dlatation of
the small arteries, so lessening the
work of the heart, but its real effect is
to lessen scnsibility and paralyze, no
matter what the dose or the condition
in which it is given. We do not want
substitutes for alcohol, but we want
something which will accomplish the
effect of heat over the heart, as Il
flannel cloth wrung out of hot water
has wonderful stimulating effect up
on the heart. Slnpping the chest appli-
cations of heat to the spine, hot and
cold sponging to the spine, hot fomen-
tations to the head. rubbing the surface
from the eXtremities toward the heart
these are the most effective of all
measures for stimulating tagging

Novel Rats.

Experiments have just been made in
France with a novel raft, designed for
the use of soldiers, the inventor of
which is Captain Habert, of the Fif-
teenth Chasseurs. Fashioned of can
vas and stuffed with straw, reeds,
rushes or leaves, it is shaped some
thing like boat. When not in use it
can be rolled up like cloak and can
be carried on saddle or over a mans
shoulder. When the time comes to
use it it can be unrolled and fitted for
its work on the water in less than fif-
teen minutes. 1t is almost impossible
to capsiZe it, Rings are attached to it,
and with the help of these those who
are about to embark easily place it
in proper position on the river bank.
Only two openings are visible in the
canvas, and these are so tightly laced
that water cannot enter.
In order to cross a river, the current
of which is not swift, it is only neces-
sary for a man to lie fiat on this raft
and to use his arms as oars. In the
case of a swift current it is advisable
to connect the two banks by a rope.

The Worst Trouble Ever Invented.

There is one kind of trouble in the
world which God never sends and
which never brings a blessing with it.
1t is the borrowed trouble which peo-
pie get by giving anxious thoughts to
tomorrow instead of being content to
bear the burden of to-day. This is the
one kind of suffering which God bans
and bars out of His kingdom and yet
even good people do not ban and bar
it out of their lives. A true Christian
on his death-bed confesses that the
greatest worries of his life had been
through his anticipation of evils which
never arrived. AS our lord tells us,
it is quite enough to bear those which
do arrive, and we must take lesson
from the ravens, which may suffer
from the hunger of to-day. but never
from that of to-morrow.-Sunday

THE LIFE BEYOND DEATH /
Immortality Will Soon Be An
Assured Fact.
REV DIR. SAVAGE'S BOOK.
A Frank Discussion of an important
Subject-He Says There Is No Sort
of Question That There Are Such
Things as Ghosts.

In his book called Life Beyond
Death" DR.. Minot J. Savage announces
that he does not believe in spiritualism.
This is something of a surprise, con
sidering the fact that Dr. Savage has
for many years-since 1874, he says
been lecturing upon and investiga ting
the subject and making constant ref
erences in his lectures toits phenomena.
He treats spiritualism at length in this
present volume.
The book reviews the beliefs held in
the past concerning life beyond
DEATH He considers primitive ideas,
ethnic beliefs and middle-age belief in
the other world, compares them with
that of Paul and Jesus, and takes up
the present conditions of the same be-
lief. He treats the fervor of belief in
the other world and the agnostic reac-
ton which followed it, and the present
spiritualistic reaction against agnosti-
cism.
In his discussion of the Old Testa-
:nent idea as TO Immortality, he says:
We see then, as the summedup re-
suit of the brief outline, that although
there was no teaching apparent and
emphasized on the surface of the OH
Testament in these other worlds, there
really was common belief underneath
the surface, growing up in the hearts
and Imagination of the common peo-
pie and we see also what we common
ly misunderstood, that these other
worlds take the shape which they had
to take.
He sums up thus the teachings OF
Jesus on the other world:
80 Jesus teaches, / think, that the
eternal life, being quality Of charac-
ter, exists to-day. 1t is not something
to be waited for. Our friends, for ex-
ample, if they are alive anywhere, are
alive at all, are alive this minute. We
are immortal this moment"
DR. Savage's study of spiritualism
has influenced his treatment of immor-
tality, as in the paragraph after the
preceding in which he says
"'rhis everyday, commonplace world
of hopes and fears, meetings and part
ings. joys and sorrows, this world, ac.
cording to the Gospel story, is encased
in a world of spirit, immersed in it,
surrounded by 1t as by atmosphere, l
am not saying that you believe it.
DR.. Savage points out the doubts
concerning the doctrine of Immortality
held by the churches and the weakness
of the traditional creeds and the loos-
cning of their hold upon people. He
treats the agnostic with tender consid-
Grafton.
His chapter on the spiritualistic re-
action is flied with bits like this:
THE one wonderful thing about spir-
itualism, without any reference to its
truth or it's falsity, is that it does not
