TRAINING AT WEST POINT.
[From Worlds work.

The outsider. and especially cadets
mother, may well think that there is
not enough leniency for a boys lapses;
but men who hold in trust the lives of
companies, regiments, brigades and
armies are not supposed to have laps s.
particularly in action. Again, we hear
that the system is SO rigorous tina. it
breaks down the health of the students.
Perhaps it would if the cadet were al
lowed, after the days work. to inhala
cigarette smoke and hang over a beer
mug until the small Eours of the morn
ing. With such an auxiliary. an cleo
tive course of lectures has been known
to undermine more than one university
mans constitution. No college or pre-
paratory school can show such a
healthy looking set of boys as West
Point. The physical regime clears their
heads for an amount Of mental work
impossible under other conditions. They
not only obtain more instruction in four
years than they could elsewhere. but
from raw youths they have become ac-
complished gymnasts, swordsmen, horse
men and artillerists. infantrymen and
engineers. If that veteran. wounded in
two vars, General Longstreet, is sam
pie of the physical wrecks which
West Point produces, we cannot have
too many of them.

A MEANINGLESS THING.
[From the London Graph,

[From the London Graphical f1s:s;
Critics allege that the modern English
woman's smile is fast becoming atnean-
ingless thing from over an indiscrifninate
use. There is some truth in the. state
ment, for, when one comes to think of
1t, almost any remark one makes to the
merest acquaintance, even on a first in
PRODUCTION, is met by a smile. There is
no mfrth in tit is only muscular move
ment, made seemingly, to show polite in
terest It reminds one of the Japanese
woman, who must always smile. even in
deepest sorrow or distress of mind, and
who must never on any account show a
depressed countenance in public, or even
in the family circle, should she be adj
dressed by a relative to whom she owes
respect. 5>r
The effort to initiate the vivacfty of our
American sisters is supposed to be at the
root of the continual smile to be. seen on
the col1ntenance of modern women,
but a smile alone will never make a
countenance pleasing, unless it expresses
some lively interest or feeling. Two many
sweets cloy the appetite, and smiles al
ways in evidence become valueless and
unmeanfng- Repose is needed nowadays
in nearly every direction, and nowhere
more than on the faces of women.

HOW TO READ HISTORY.
lFron SUGGEST

Perhaps the best way to read history
is to take up the life Of some great fig
ure that attracts our Imagination, and
be drawn by that into the study Of the
general stage upon which he was only
a single actor. Certainly it is not a
good plan to begin with those elaborate
documentary histories in which you
cannot see the wood for the trees. It
is better to be wrong in a few of your
facts, or even contract bias from some
partisan historian, than to lose yourself
in a morass of documents. The best
historians are the widest. If they oc-
casionally lead you astray, you can al
ways correct them by the more sober
colored chronicles. Macaulay may have
been prejudiced, and so may Fronde,
and SO, undoubtedly, was Carlyle; so,
again. was Gibbon: yet, none the less.
these are the great historians, the his
torfans who set you upon the peaks of
time and enable you to see history as it
lies beneath. in wide views and broad
masses.

WHY HE WANTED MERCY.
[From the London News.l

[F'rom the London News.1
A plea for consideration was put for
ward on behalf of a pickpocket at MARI
borough street on the ground that even
a short sentence would carry with it the
additional hardship to a gentleman OF
the prisoners profession of being Sc
questrated during the coronation fes-
tivities. To the light fingered fraterni-
ty this would certainly be matter OF
serious loss. The plea reminds US OF
two men accused of pocket-picking who
tried to engage a now celebrated coun-
sci to conduct their defense at the Old
Bailey. There was one insuperable i'm
pediment to this contamination, namely,
the absence of the necessary guineas-

Kansas City, Sept. 22.-The final strug-

tons in Kansas City viii take place the
last week in September. All season
there has been a bitter fight between
the managers both for players and pat
r0nage. Each manager claims to have
the stronger team. and to settle the
question of supremacy a post-season
series of seven games has been arrang-
ed. "A side bet of 81 600 has been posted
and the winner takes the purse and 60
per cent of the gross receipts OF the
games.
Captain Anson, of the old Chicago
team, will officiate as umpire. The sche-
dule for these games is as follows. and
divided as nearly equally as could be

Salaries Of College Professors.

[F'rom the Springfield Republican,
Prof Hugo Muensterberg, the seismic
essayist, recently urged that in the in
cratic custom of paying the professors
of a given college nearly equal salaries
should be gwen up, and great prizes be
offered to eminent men as an incentive
to research. He suggested $4,000, even
$40, 600. as suitable salaries for teachers
Of distinction. 1t will probably be long
before such prizes as these are offered
in the American academic world, yet
there seems to be tendency to grade
the salaries of professors. and it is now
reported that the Rando1ph-Macon wo-
mans college of Lynchburg, Va, has
adopted this plan, being the first south
ern college to do so. The scale, how
ever. is moderate ranging only from
81 200 to $1,000.
