low" he says. He thinks that she feels
herself always on parade. Society is
the end of her existence, and, since
she has obtained a foothold in Eng
land, it has degenerated from a polite
pleasure into a profession" She is
tolerant as wife, and she expects
liberation from her husband But. in
general, he approves of her, and he
! considers her generally pretty, gener-
ally clever, and generally ready to take
pains to please those whom she con-

salvation into the Kentucky noun
talnS, among the mountaineers. who
have made that state SO notorious with
their feuds. Hitherto the army has
practically confined itself to the vicious
and Ignorant poor in cities and towns,
Stun work has been its speciality. This
new movement indicates a departure
from the early policy. Permanent sta
lions are to be established, and the
work Is to be carried on systematically

Friends of Mount Holyoke college are
rejoicing in the increased income which
will come to it through the will of the
late William c. Todd, of Atkinson. N.
H., who has made the old mid-Massa
chusetts college his residuary legatee.
How large the colleges share will be-
does not yet appear, for there are other
requests, some of them large The
sum of $4,000 is given to the Colorado
college, and in connection with the gift
Mr.. Todd makes this comment: Il give
no more to colleges, as 1 had intended.
The whole trend, encouraged by the
70 he
agance and ease athletics and amuse-
ments, clubs and dinners, and away
from the hard study and simplicity of
my own college life. 1t has been said
that Daniel Webster was worth more
than 100000 to his alma mater
have wondered how much he would
have been worth under modern popular
training. He was not learned, but
great; made so by hard study and old
college history. l have been looking
for profusiOn of Websters under our
boosted educational progress, but in
vain"
Mr.. Todd was a graduate of Dart
mouth. In giving the bulk of his es-
tate to the trustees of Mount Holyoke
college, Mr.. Todd stipulates that the
income is to be used for the education
of needy young women. Again his idea
seems to be that the colleges, even
those for women, are growing too
smart" 1T is my hope" he says, that
the expense of the college should be
kept as low as possible in considera-
ton of the great number of young
women of limited means anxious for
an education, but excluded from most
of the colleges by large and increasing
cost"
According to 1.-The London Daily
News" after careful and systematic
canvass covering some six months Of
time, one person in every four and
half goes to church every Sunday in
that largest city in the world. This
calculation is based on the assumption
that the people at church in the morn
ing and evening are not the same. The
Church of England leads in total at
tendance, the Nonconformists come
second, and the Roman Catholics third.
The Nonconformists lead in the at
tendance of men, with 10000 every
Sunday, as against $4,000 in the Eng
lish church. The seating capacity Of
the combined churches is about a
quarter of the whole population.
