WHERE AMERICA LEADS.
Our Colleges More Available for
Women than English Institutions.

a writer in the London Daily Mail
says that popular sentiment in America
has done its greatest work in giving the
poor girl desire TO go to college and in
giving her a college where she can go.
The girl who wants to go on ESQ q year
can do it. Unless she lives in a secluded
village or a very small town she can
60 on half that sum. There are few
towns of any size without college of
some kind: privately endowed or publicly
maintained.
Next to this almost universally of .op-
portunity, the American college girl val
ues most the social trust given her in it
all and the knowledge Of men which she
receives. The typical American girl stu
died side by side with her brother in the
lower grades, she went to college natur-
ally with him. 1t never occurred to her
that she could not. 1t never occurred
to him that she should not.
Every American girl is trusted So
cially, and the typical American college
girl-the co-educational girl-receives this
trust to the greatest degree. She thinks
the English college girl as capable, even
more so, of having this same social trust.
Does not England need now the
American type of the college woman?"
asks the American. "And, in making
higher education SO popular, that most
girls, whether rich or poor would want
get it; in raising the intellectual standr
ard Of English womanhood in general,
as would be done by the former; in Civ
ing discipline of mind to hundreds who
need it in the fight for bread, as would
be done by the latter-in these, is there

wOman's education need havev'

CONVENT LANTERNS.
An OLD Fad with Modern Improve

ments-An Electr ical Display.
In the old days, favorite fad for trav-
elers in ancient lands was the collection
OF lanterns. Those from ruined converts,
decayed mosques, and poverty-stricken
shrines were prime favorites. The fad is
not entirely dead, but the supply has run
SO short that now enterprising firms in
turn out large numbers Of excellent imi-
tations. The new ones are made by hand,
and, so far as strength and durability are
concerned, are superior to the ancient de-
signs, which were handmade, but the lat
ter in many instances were ornamented
with inlaid work, as we'll as with carving
and twisting of the most artistic tyne.
The machine-made goods can never repro
duce these latter chara cteristics so we'll
as to deceive an expert. The material of
the lanterns varies from fine woods and
glass to iron, steel, brass, bronze, copper,
PEWTER and even silver; The simplest
forms are cylinders which are perforated
with numerous holes, so as to resemble
the clumsy sieve. Then come globes,
| cubes, octahedra, hexagonal prisms.
oyoids, and more complex solid forms
The prettiest of all are the mosque Ian
