PopuInr weather Motions.

How often do we hear the remark,
"We' shall have rain. the atmosphere
is so heavy" The reverse is true.
When one sees smoke hanging from a
chimney. with a tendency to sink to
the ground. it indicates that the at
mosphere is light-in fact, too light TO
float the smoke. When the smoke
rises from the chimney, 1t indicates a
heavy atmosphere. A column of smoke
is not a bad barometer, for barometer
simply records the pressure of the at
mosphere. When the atmosphere is
light and the smoke settles, the pres
sure on the mercury is light, and the
column falls, indicating storm. When
the atmosphere is heavy and the smoke
rises, the pressure is greater and the
column rises, indicating fair weather.
Pleasure seekers and others before
starting out should therefore watch
the smoke.

After you have had little OF every

A Royal Tragedy.

Frederick l. of Prussia was killed by
fear. His wife was insane. and one
day she escaped from her keepers and.
dabbling her clothes in blood, rushed
upon her husband while he was doing

her to be the white lady whose ghost
was believed to appear whenever the
death of member of the royal family
was TO occur, and he was thrown into a
fever and died in six weeks.

MAKERS OF GUNS AND HOMES.
Strange enough are the illustrations
Of the progress Of Christendom afford
ed by the story of the Krupp dynasty.
Here in the twentieth century of our
era Of peace and goodwill there has
died the head of incomparably the vast
est Industrial undertaking in the lead
ing country on the European Continent,
having possessed by far the greatest
fortune among his compa triots; and his
trade was the manufacture of the ma
chinery of wholesale slaughter. Krupps,
no doubt, made other things than
Krupp guns and ammunition, and if
the millennium had been established
the resource and ingenuity of Krupp
H. would doubtless have built up on
quite other lines colossal enterprise
from the humble foundation laid by
Krupp I. But as things were In the
latter half Of the nineteenth century, it
was in the production and the constant
improvement of engines for the de-
struction of human life that the father
of the man who died recently found
the most profitable use for his own ex-
traordinary administrative and inven-
tive faculty, and for the industrial APP
plication of the ever advancing discov-
cries of chemical science in the field Of
metallurgy. 1t was in such work that,

most lavish liberaity. That liberality

There are more than one of these
historic jokes to be seen in various
parts of the world. A notable one is
a monument in the market place at
Coblenz.
When Napoleon's conquering army
marched through this city on its way
to crush Russia, a French general
erected this monument to celebrate his
victorious progress, and on it carried
an inscription setting forth the fact
that Coblentz had been added to the
French Empire, and signed with his
own name.
A. few months later, a Russian
general entered the town, but in pursuit
Of broken regiments of starving
Frenchmen. He saw the monument
and read the grand inscription. He did
not blot it out but with grim irony, he
carved beneath them. Seen and APP
proved by me-" and he added his name.
So the words remain to this day
There is curious old almhouse in
the HerefOrdshire town of Leominster.
On the outside wall is a rude carving
of q man armed with a heavy Ratchet.
Underneath are these words: HE who
gives away all before he is dead, let
him take up this Ratchet and chop off
his head" A former inhabitant of the
town was the builder Of these aims
houses, and so charitable was he that at
the age of about sixty he found himself
penniless. He ended his days in the
very alnlshouse he himself had built.

Columbia University, in New York
city; Princeton, Pennsylvania, Cor
NELL the University of Chicago, North
western University, Michigan Univer-
sity, Wisconsin University, and Johns
Hopkins all show a gain in attend
ance. But so also do Bowdoin, Dart
mouth, Brown, Union, Rochester and
a host of other smaller colleges that
could be enumerated. This evidences
more even and healthful growth than
if the increase were confined to a few
large institutions.
The general prosperity of the coun-
try is an important factor in this
growth. Parents feel better able to give
their sons liberal education and
more to prepare themselves for their
work in life. The constantly widening
field covered by the American college
course is another element in this in
crease, Students do not now find it
necessary to go to Europe to get the
best in any department of education.
They can get it in this country. Then

the growing demand for men trained to
the highest degree of efficiency encour-
ages more young men to give the time
and energy to fit themselves for these
higher duties, And a fourth reason for
this increasing college attendance is the
marked liberality of rich men in add
ing to college endowments.
1t is an encouraging fact also that
the increase in college attendance is
relatively greater than the increase in
population. 1t evidences a better pop
ular appreciation of the value of high
err education and of the culture and re-
finement that comes from it. The re-

THE GENERAL GROWTH OF COL
TEcTS

The general summing up of the at
tendance at the different colleges and
universities shows that there has been
an increase this year at nearly every
one of the higher institutions of learn
ing. This fact appears to be true of
western as we'll as of eastern colleges,
and while there are no statistics at
hand to prove it, it can be assumed
that southern colleges are also sharing
in this increase Of students.
One encouraging fact in connection
with this growth of college attendance
is that it is participated in by the
smaller as well as by the larger COL
leges and universities. There does not
appear to be any decided drift toward
any college. Harvard, for instance, has
1851 students this year, an increase of
100 over last year, but this is less than
.03 per cent. increase. Yale has 2,275
students enrolled now as compared
with 1855 last year, an increase Of 40.
