The committee of three appointed
by the American Economic Associa-
tion to investigate the causes under
lying the dismissal of Professor
Ross from Stanford University has
made its report. After the fullest
Investigation the committee finds
that Professor Ross was dismissed
because Of dissatisfaction on the part
of Mrs. Stanford with his express
sions Of opinion on questions of eco
nomic policy, notably in regard tc
free coinage of silver in the cam
paign of 1896, and, more recently, in
regard to coolie immigration and
municipal monopolies. The com
mittee which made these findings il
composed of Professor Edwin A.
Seligman of Columbia, Henry W.

Of recognized character and scholar

Summed up in Q few words, &C.
cording to the committees report,
Professor Ross was discharged sim

on economic questions. That has
been the opinion Of the public in

controversy.

Life seems full of new possibilities
in the opening of new year. The
question for each girl to decide is now
to meet the opportunities which are
offered to her, and how to make the
most of them. There is knowledge 10
be gained, because it is pearl be-
yond price to the possessor, there are
talents to be developed, because it is
a duty to cultivate ones gifts; there Is
work to be done, because work means
usefulness and contentment Ihere
are always virtues to be striven for,
because they help to make strong, no
BILE characters. The great thing is to
aim at a true and noble womanhoed.
To be honest, to be truthful, to do
what is right and to keep clear con-
science would seem very simple rules
for conduct in life, yet If these are
followed happiness will come, for that
depends more on ones self than on
circumstances or surroundings.
Life may be full of beauty and use
fulness if one is unselfish. Ordinary,
everyday life affords so many oppor-
tunities for doing some good service.
A gentle word spoken to one who is
angry, an encouraging or sympathe-
tic word to a respondent or sad friend,
an earnest word of warning to any one
who may be in danger or folly-all
these little things are very helpful. A
cheerful manner has stimulating ef-
feet on others; a sunny disposition
brightens the home, says the Delien-
ator. Everyone has at times known
the bracing, stimulating feeling that
comes when looking into face which
reflects a noble, pure soul or brave,
strong one. 1t may be the face OF
stranger, but the unconscious influence
of that fine character is not lost on the
passer-by. 1t is character when
counts in life, noble motives and high
thoughts which are worth having,
With these possessions and that sweet,
maidenly reserve, modesty and deli
cacy which go with refinement girl

A pretty gift is veil cards, and these
about IA inches long and six inches

one side and cover with silk silkoline

Six cards are good number, as only
one veil should be folded on a card;
otherwise it is too much trouble to get

make a case like large envelope with
all the flaps unfastened. Take an en-

the head of the house stuck at 30
