TWENTY-FIVE state endowed in Ger
many"
Sir Norman contrasted the feeble re-
suits of private effort in England as
compared with the aid given univer-
stiles in the United States and Ger
many and argued that state aid alone
could compete with either country. In
sixty years English colleges had been
given less than $4,000 900 while in the
last few years American colleges had
been given $2OO.OOO00O.
The president then compared the
vast sums spent by the British gov
eminent on "sea power" and the small
amounts expended on brain power"
and advocated duplicating the navy
bill of 1889, $12O OOO, 600, and devotlng
that amount to the increase of Great
Britain's brain power.

Washington, Sept. Applications
from national banks for the retire

Treasury Department in unexpected
numbers and amounts. For the seven
business days of the present month the
applications aggregate $2,762 500. I'm
der the law only 100000 in circula-
ton can be retired in any one month,
and the applications are granted in
the order in which they are received.
The present movement is accounted
for at the Treasury Department by
the present high price of bonds, the
banks evidently seeing a greater
profit in selling their bonds than in
keeping their circulation.

Would Straighten Rivers.

From the Kansas City Journal.
Missouri might fittingly be known as the
state of crooked rivers Owing to the
peculiar texture Of the soil, every stream
in the state, large and small has as many
curves in it as crawling serpent The
numerous bends cause the rivers to over
flow every spring and destroy large guam
titles of valuable property. To prevent
these annual disasters organizations are be-
ing formed in all parts of the state to
straighten the rivers, and in some counties
they have made valuable improvements.
The losses occasioned by the spring over
flows are so conspicuous that they attract
everybody's attention. The losses caused by
bad roads probably amount every year to
many thousands of dollars more; but be-
cause they are spread over a longer period
they do not attract so much and such gen.
eral attention, and little effort is made to
forestall them. The county and district
public improvement associations ought to
plan and labor for the improvement of both
roads and rivers. The two lines of work
could easily be carried on by the same or
CARNATIONS, and, if prosecuted with vigor
would greatly augment the value of every
piece of real estate in the sections where
the improvements were made.

Fear Being Queer"
From Success.


The fear of being thought peculiar pre-
vents great many people from reaching
the limit of these possibilities. These
people can endure unmerited blame, and
even calumny, with fortitude. They are pa
tient under great trials and are not afraid
to face difficulties, noble in many ways and
weak, perhaps, only in this one point. Fear
of ridicule, of being thought different from
other people, appears to be the one Yulner-
able spot in their armor. They seem unable
to rid themselves of the idea that they ex-
cite comment everywhere because of their
supposed peculiarities.
Nine times out of ten this "queerness" is
a disease of the imagination, and has no
real existence. The victim of such morbid
condition of mind must be his own physi-
clan. The veriest tyro in the worlds ways
must know that men and women are too
busy with their own affairs. too much occu-
pied with selfish cares to think much about
him, whether he is like or unlike other peo-
pie of his acquaintance. Rest assured they
are not watching you or Analysing your
words and movements. Be your natural self
as far as you can, and do not trouble your
self about what others think or say of you.
Do what you think to be right, and give
yourself no concern as to what others think
of your words or actions, and you will find
that your ''queerness'' will soon fall away
from you.
