In thinking over msans for improving

loud acclaim, announced that the show

Yale has every reason to be proud
of the progress it has made IN its
200 years of life. Now one Of the
great seats of learning in the civ
ilized world, It started from a very
small beginning. When it first came
into existence in 1901, it was known
as the Collegiate School of Connec-
ticut" The Rev. James Pierpont
and nine other Congregational min
listers formulated the plan that re-
suited in the establishment of the
school.
IN 1716 the college was removed
from Saybrook, its original location,
t. New Haven, and two years later
its name was changed to Yale college
in recognition of large donation
from Elihg Yale of London. During
the irst ht,ndred years of its life in
struction was given chiefly by the
rector or president, assisted by tu-

yates. serving only for brief periods.
Today Yale employs more than 200
instructors, and good share of these
are permanent officers. 1t houses two
Libraries, containing more than 200,-
600 volumes, a museum of natural
history, established by George Pea
body by a gift of $4,000, and
splendidly equipped observatory.
Europe has scores of universities
of greater antiquity than Yale, but
probably none that have made s.Ich
wonderful progress. From the most
humble Of beginnings it has risen to
a position Of euiinence in the educa-
tional world that entities it to the
respect and congratulations of every
one.

HOLLANDS GOOD ExAaPLE.

I OLLAND Is GOING IN for
II expansion along lines peculiar
u l. ~ its own. In the earlier part
of the thirteenth century what is now
the Zuider Zee was a portion of Hol-
land It's fertile plains were dotted
by many fourishing towns and ham
lets. But toward the close of the
century the waters of the North sea
broke through the ramparts of the
coast and inundated the interior
lowlands. The remnants of the an
cient coast line still exist in the
West Friesian islands that form the
nor ,hern boundary of the Zuider
Zee. But back Of them the invading
waters of six centuries ago continue
to hold sway.
1t is by driving back the waters
of the sea and reclaiming the long
submerged lands that Holland ex-
poets to expand. About a quarter of
a century ago a small arm of the
Zuider Zee was taken possession of
by the sturdy Hollanders and trans
formed into fertile meadow land. 1t
is now proposed that the inland sea
itself shall be attacked and driven
out of the country. A bill has been
introduced in the second chamber OF
the states-general for draining sec
tions of the Zuider Zee. The south
err portion of it is to be walled in
by a dam provided with sluices. This
area will be subdivided by dykes, and
gradually pumped dry. It is esti-
mated that more than 100000 acres
can thus be reclaimed at an approx
mate cost of $155, 100000.
1t viii be noticed that the problem
confronting Holland in its efforts
at internal expansion is almost the
exact antithesis of the one that must
be solved by the United States. In
western America is a desert tn,
needs only an adequate supply Of
water to make it the most fertile
farming country in the world. To
do this Will require the construc-
ton of reservoirs aud canals of such
magnitude that it can only be ac-
complished by aid from the national
government. But the outlay demand
ed and the difficulties to be encoun-
tered, when comrared With the vast
ness of the area to be reclaimed, will
bring far richer returns than Holland
can hope for.
It is high time that the United
States government was taking active
steps in this important work, and
It Is to be hoped that the example
set by the energetic little European
kingdom viii stir in the breasts of
our own lawmakers a spirit of emu
lation.

The Whisky Riley Had.


I've drank champagne and whisky,
And the vintage of the Rhine;
All other brands I've tested
That the cOTfnOisseurs call fine;
From the stills OF old Kentucky
I've slipped the good and bad.
But they all can't hold a candle
To the whisky Riley had.
He kept an old decanter
That was just as black sin:
But the mouth would always water
For the nectar held within;
And if a boy was absent,
For a week. he near went mad;
So seductive was the flavor
OF the whisky Riley had.
It seemed to hold within it
The scent of springtime flowers,
The breath from fields of clover.
The sweets OF woodland bowers;
You could almost taste the rustic
OF the corn leaves light and glad,
Why. cen the birds We're singing
In that whisky Riley had
And when the boys came hungry
And thirsty from the mine,
They'd make a stop at Riley'S
And leave there feeling fine;
And If you blue were feeling
/ do not care how sad
One drink would set you smiling,
OF that whisky Riley had.
I've drank champagne quite often,
At brilliant bars have stood;
/ have my own wine cellar,
Where all l keep is good;
But often, very often,
When l am feeling bad,
l still have a strange yearIling
For the whisky Riley had.
