There are few words in the language
which are oftener improperly used than
university. The Century Dictionary de-
fines a university as IAN association OF
men for the purpose Of study, which con-
fers degrees which are acknowledged as
valid throughout Christendom. is endowed,
and is privileged by the state in order that
the people may receive intellectual guild
ance, and that the theoretical problems
which present themselves in the develop
ment of civilization may be resolved" In
one of the Eastern States an institution
got the name of university forty years
ago. Two years ago, discovering 'that the
institution was not entitled to a disigna-
ton which made it a.teacher of all science,
art and literature. the trustees asked the
Legislature to change its title to college.
This was proper action, because to speak
of an institution which is not the seat of
universal education and investigation, but
is simply a college, a scientific school or a
normal school as a university. is more
ridiculous than it is to style a funny end
man in a minstrel snow professor. Some
people who talk of universities should have
sufficient education to know the meaning
Of the word. No high-sounding title can
make a great institution. A small boy
was never made a man by wearing a mans
silk hat. So of institutions of learning; a
school devoted to one line of instruction
can never be made more than a school by
calling it a university. On the contrary,
the use of such a name for a school is
often a cover for superficiality.

ABOUT PEOPLE AND THINGS.

The death of Queen Victoria has left
Queen Wilhelmina of Holland the only
woman ruler in the civilized world.
The late James Tyson. the Brisbane mill
~ionaire, reported to have been the richest
man in Australia, never needed more than
$500 a year for his personal expenses.
Queen Wilhelmina is a great novel read
er, and her preference is for English books.
Being a great admirer of Scott and Dick
ems, she naturally prefers the romantic
school CT fiction.
The Kaiser says of his favorite eight
year-old daughter Victoria: I'm talking to
me she is apt to forget that 1 am the EN-
peror, but she never forgets she is the EN-
peror's daughter"
Of Sir Hiram Maxim the people of
Lewiston, Me-, say that he had a rooted
dislike for school. He was therefore early
worked in the shop much of the time. Even
then he was 'tinkering," as the country
people termed it.
The widow of the late Henri Say, the
well-known sugar refner of Paris. whose
will is now being contested in the Paris
Court of Appeals. was an American woman.
She was a Miss Davis, and is Frederick
Gebhard'S aunt. She was the divorced wife
of Count d'Huersel when she married Mr..
Say. The widow received the entire estate
of 5O.0W.0OO francs, and Mr.. Says sister,
the de IrederD, is trying to
have the will broken.
An Englishman who recently died had
three children, one son and two daughters.
and he mentioned all of them in his will.
The first clause is, 81 leave my piano Ia
Mary Elizabeth when Arthur has done
with it." The other clause Is. ITO Susan
Jahe-she may a x whatever Arthur
wishes TO give her." There is no doubt of
Arthur's standing in the but the
pointed question is raised, Are Mar
Elizabeth and Susan Jane beneficiaries un-
der the will?'
One thing the new Queen of Italy has vet
to ~learn-how to smile. Handsome as she
is she is also cold, or so she seems, for
the simple reason that she is shy. AS a
princess she has not achieved the art of
always rejoicing In public, and the Italian
people, who set great store by outward
demonstrations OF sympathy, nave noted
stheir absence Ever bowling has been bur-
densome to her. Wait till 1 am Queen
has hitherto been her reply to all the gen.

the time of waiting is over Rome looks on
curiously TO see the result
A story Is going the rounds in Washing

mai the writer may be obscure viii not
save them; all love letters have in them
elements that provoke TO ~aughter, as wit
ness the history of breach OF promise and
divorce cases. and the sentimental CORE
spondence of the everyday nonliterary per-
son may serve as humorous literature.
Therefore. the probability is that the court
aid of telegraph and telephone when per-
sonal interview is not possible. Even now
the telephone is much in use for the pur-
pose. as any one knows who is stationed in
the neighborhood of a public instrument.
The tender cadences and the fatuous grins
at the ~mouthpiece of the machine betray
the lover though his words may relate only
to the time of day. Then, too. there Is
another influence tending to do away with
the love letters as an Institution. There
Is no time for 1t. Even the young people
are too busy to sit down TO a desk and put
their hearts on paper at length. Sweet
hearts of the twentieth century must take
much for granted when they cannot talk to-
gether in each others presence or by wire.
After all. 1t may be that in printing these
letters that were written when leisure was
possible and neither breach of promise
courts nor publishers doomed as a posi-
bility a form of literature that viii soon be
of the past is being preserved. Let US.
then, not borrow unnecessary alarm con-
corning the literary future.
