True Generosity.

A charming story of the late queen
Of England. vouched for by Mr.. A F.
Story, is told In the Childhood Of
Queen Victoria" 1t is so consistent
with the queens known kindness of
heart that it speaks for its own truth.
The Princess Victoria had set her
heart ON buying doll she had seen in
a shop window, but her mother, the
Duchess of Kent, would not let her
buy it until her next allowance of
pocket money was due.
At last the day came. and the prin-
cess hurried to the shop. paid over the
six bright shillings and got the long
coveted doll.
On coming out of the shop with her
treasure In her arms the princess en-
countered wretchedly miserable
tramp. who plucked up courage enough
to ask for help. The princess hesitated
moment; then. realizing that she no
longer had any money left for the man,
she returned to the shopkeeper and gave
him back the doll. He gave her the
6 shillings, promising also to keep the
doll for her for few days.
Then the little lady hurried out of
the shop and thrust the whole of the
money into the hands of the beggar.

To Thread a Hair Through a walnu

To pass hair through a walnut
without boring a hole seems an impos-
sibility, but the feat has often been
done. The hull of the walnut when
examined with a strong glass is seen
to have innumerable small openings,
some of which lead entirely through
the nut. The trick consists in using a
very fine hair and an infinite amount
of patience. Pass the hair into one of
these minute crevices and urge it gen.
tly along. Sometimes it will appear on
the other side at the first trial. but IL
it comes out at the hundred and first
you will be very lucky.

Maria Sanford of the university faculty
disagrees wholly with w. E. Curtis, the

why education is now being opposed
by some male students. some college pro-:
fessors, and not few outsiders In the.
last number of The Outlook Mr. Curtis
says that the opposition of the male stu

is an unconscious revolt against the fe-
male peril. Man is face to face with the

tinued Mr.. Curtis that woman is not

competitor, his rival and that of all the

No., said Miss Sanford this morning,
II don't think that is the real rea son, why
some professors and students. and some
families think that co-education is a mis-
take. For my part, 1 have been an in
structor here, and at other educate
institutions for thirty years. and / firmly
believe in coeducation. / think that the
boys don't worry a bit about possible
competition from the girls, in school or
out. But the boys, like some OF their
teachers have gained the incorrect i'm
preston that girls are not physically fit
ted for the trials of a university career
For this mistake, the girls are to
blame themselves. One class Of girls
comes to university that should never
be there. This class is made up Of girls
that want the distinction of being at a
university and all the fun that college life
can provide. They attend parties innu-
merable, get right into the social swim,
and accept every invitation But they
neglect their studies, take very little phys
ical exercise and soon fall behind the male
students. But a fun-loving boy will have
a fair share Of his fun outdoors. He will
get plenty of exercise and he won't break
down physically like the jolly girl. =
"Then there is another, a larger, class
of girls that work too hard. They are
more conscientious than boys and work
harder. These girls go to bed at 1 Or 2
o'clock in the morning, after studying half
the night. They don't get any outdoor
exercise. they neglect their meals and
they break down like the butterflies. But
few boys are going to do without enough
