dustry in which women can engage
has always been more or less haphaz-
ard. If girl could make loaf Of
bread and a cup Of coffee, Ii she knew
that beefsteak Is bought by the pound
and not by the yard, and that windows
should not be washed outside in freez-
ing weather, she was too often thought
to be equipped for housekeeping
least when the family was to consist
Of Gust herself and her husband" The
miseries Of the first year Of marriage,
with so meager a supply of knowledge
and experience, are written deep in the
memories Of many husband and wife.
It is good sign that popular school,
has had the sense and the courage to
establish a department where girls
over eighteen years old may study the
house intelligently- construction,
its decoration and furnishing; house
keeping, with its expenses, It's ac-
counts, It's marketing, its cooking and
it's laundry work; and finally the nur-
ture and training of children, from the
care Of their physical needs to the Sc
lection of their games and their books.
We have acted too long upon the as
sumption that home-makers are born,
not made. 1t is high time that we
should at least make the experiment
of teaching women expressly how to
meet the varied demands Of life In the

It was the wish of the late Lord
Salisbury that the expenses Of his
funeral should not exceed a hundred
dollars. They did not exceed seventy
dollars. The Duke of Westminster,
who also held strong opinion on the
wickedness of ostentatious extrava-
gance at funerals, was buried at cost
of only thirty-five dollars. Many a
poor family In America has gone deep
ly into debt to bury its members be-
cause of fear of what the neighbors
might say. The fashion of simplicity,
set by the English great, might well
be adopted by rich and poor alike.

ton Of the Missouri senator. He sat
ynotionless, unheeding the call.
''Mr. Vest" repeated the clerk, in a
rising voice, as If piqued at the physi-
cal effort required to call name twice.
Once more every eye turned toward
the veteran from the south, and every
ear was trained to hear his response.
He half rose In his seat, and then in a
voice that was trembling and husky he
answered.:
81 vote NO."
Then the man who could not over
come his constitutional convictions
sank back in his seat exhausted, and
the wires flashed forth the news that
his bosom friend had met with disas-
ter. Quay's partisans were furious,
but Quay's voice was silent and his
face inscrutable.
That was the act OF the drama that
was only half seen and not under
stood by the public. But its sequel was
truly Quaylike. Two years later the
Pennsylvania Legislature reelected
Quay to the Senate. His journey to
the national capital was like a tri-
umphal tour. Flowers were dumped
into the Senate by the wagonload;
Quay followers packed the galleries.
He took the oath calmly, possibly with
an inward feeling Of elation over his
victory, but after that disappeared In
a most mysterious manner. Admirers
who wanted to give him a dinner were
nonplused When he returned four or
i've hours later member Of the fam

1t does no more good to give advice
to people about to go into the woods
on hunting expeditions as to what they
should or should not shoot at than it
does to give labored directions as to
how one can. save himself from drown
ing when he suddenly meets the ne
cessity for such effort. The man with
the gun will continue to blaze away at
anything he thinks is deer, and the
struggling man In the water will lose
every yestige of presence Of mind and
do the very things that will soonest
send him to the bottom.

The most hopeful characteristic or
the American colleges is the self-sup-
porting student. The boys who have
worked their way through have not
only conquered the adverse conditions
to which they were born but have also
always adorned all professions and
walks Of life It has been said that
any boy in this country who wants an
education may get 1t, If he wants 1t
bad enough. The truth of this Is being
demonstrated now more clearly than
ever before There is common COM
plant that the poor boys chances to
get ahead In the world are not what
they used to be. This is not borne out
by the facts In any department of life.
More than ever before, character is the
prime capital for success, and never
before were a poor boys opportunities
for moulding his character as he sees
fit as good as they are now. There
was q time in the history Of American
colleges when the earning of money
by q student during vacation to help
pay his tuition bills was SO exception
al a proceeding as to excite remark.
But there appears to have been a great
change. The growth Of the practice is
indicated by the report Of the secre-
tary of the Columbia College commit
tee on employment for students, from
which it appears that Columbia stu
dents during the past summer earned
$31, 4O1, an increase of $4,000 over
their earnings for the year before. The
number of vacation workers this year
was nearly 10 per cent Of the entire
university attendance. The occupa-
tons engaged in ranged in variety
from truck driving to the operation Of
a printing office, and the largest sum
earned was $1,000 by a law student.
Many, no doubt also carry on wage
earning labor during the college term.
1t is unfortunate that this should have
been the case, for no college course
can be what it ought to be when
broken into by the necessities of self
support, though it is, Of course, far
better that student should study
under the disadvantage than that he
should not be a student at all. Besides
1t has it's compensations. What the
wage-earning student loses from the
college course he makes up in practi-
cal application Of his talents to the
work of real life. He Is better pre-
pared, perhaps, to step into his chosen
occupation when college days are over
than is the fellow student whose way
has been made easy and who knows
nothing Of the difficulties to be encoun-
tered. The boy who works for his ed
ucation learns what an education Is
for and places it In its proper perspec-
tive In his view Of life. And In max
ing for 1t he unconsciously builds up
within himself something Of more
value even than education, and that Is
character. No boy need despair be-
cause his father is not rich enough to
buy him an education. If he wants it
bad enough he can get 1t, and by
working for it get something better
still along with 1t.

Where have you been? Your
friends have been looking for you
everywhere"
81 have been taking dinner with an
old friend" he said, quietly.
''Who was it?'
Quay shifted about, like a school
boy about to be scolded, and said,
with just touch of defiance:
''It was my friend Vest"
And so it was, and the friendship
Of many, many years still continues.

expected to prove of great value to
physicians and crimjnologists. 1t is
claimed that it will register acute mel
ancholia and can detect whether GRIM
inals are telling the truth or the oppo-
site.
The apparatus consists of a tall glass
jar, half filed with colorleSs solution,
and to which are attached two glass
tubes which pass through an opening
in its top. One of the tubes has an ap
pliance which fits over the mouth and
the other runs to a glass receptacle
containing purified air.
When the apparatus is fitted over the
mouth of n person and the breath
passes through the liquid and thence to
the glass receptacle. the varying
thoughts within the mind are reflected
in the changing colors of the liquid in
the jar, this action being due, in brief.
to the effect of the variable chemical
properties of the breath upon the Solu-
ton.
So far the experiments have merely
determined what colors reflect certain
moods, such as happiness or melan-
cholia, but as the work progresses and
considerably more data are compiled it
is expected that the knowledge of the
brain colors will grow correspondingly.
So it seems, if all that is said about
this latest addition to scientific knowl-
edge is true, that Professor Gates has
evolved machine that will make the
inmost thoughts of the human mind
as an open book through the medium
OF his wonder bottle"
