Advice to Graduates,

In addressing the Cornell students
this year President Schurman broke
away from the beaten path of bac-
calaureate counsel and exhorted gradu-
ates in regard to duties which are gen.
orally left to their own discretion. Il
feel deeply" he said, that every
young man should look forward to
providing for wife and family, which
is beyond doubt the chief blessing
vouchsafed to man in this earthly ca
reer. l have no patience with the
college graduates who deliberately
elect bachelorhood, whose social cir.
Gle is the club and whose religion is
refined and fastidious epicureanism.
II would not be worth while maintain
ing colleges and universities for the
production Of froth like that"

A CHANCE FOR PUBLICITY.

II it were possible TO compel the
national committees to keep an accur-
ate record OF and publish true ac-
count of their expenditures for cam
paign purposes a work of the utmost
Importance would be accomplished.
England has virtually eliminated the
bribery of voters in her parliament
airy elections by requiring that each
candidates campaign expenses shall
be recorded and made public.
If the cam paign fund accounts we're
made public instead of being kept
secret. there would be no need to
FRY the fat" from corporations or
men. All the money actually neces-
sary for an honestly conducted cam.
paign would be willingly contributed
by public spirited citizens of either
party. Only through publicity, full
and complete, will campaign funds
cease to be corruption funds.-Phila-

Knew His Masters Voice.

The wonderful instinct and intelli-
gence of dogs was illustrated a few
days since where one recognized his
owners voice over the telephone at a
distance OF some fourteen miles. The
dogs master, who was going out of
the state, sent the animal to a SUI
burban city, where he was to be cared
for. A few days after the keeper Of
the animal was called up and the
dog placed on a chair and the tele-
phone receiver placed at his ear. His
master spoke to the dog, who recog-
nized his voice and demonstrated it
by vociferously barking. 1t was with
much difficulty that the animal could
be induced to go away from the tele-
phone long after his master had rung
off, the proprietor of the kennels af,
terward informed him.

JAPAN's EMPEROR.

Very few people have ever known
the emperor of Japan closely. He
must be undergoing something of an
evolution, for theoretically he is de-
signed as a national figurehead rather
than as a natural ruler. The present
crisis must have brought him out as
never before.
The English sometimes date their
pedigrees back to the conqueror with
certain pride. But Mutsuhito-tenwo,
emperor of Japan; is the present rep
resentative of the Oldest royal dynas-
ty eXtant He is the 121st emperor Of
his dynasty, which dates back in an
unbroken line 1856 years. He is the
direct descendant OF Ginmu, the "dl-
Japanese mythology, descended from
heaven on the white bird of the
clouds"
Up to the opening of the present
war the Japanese always carried the
| Oriental notion that their emperor
should maintain a certain seclusion
appropriate to his position. The fact
that he was hardly known personally
to his own people made him, however,
more free to go among them incog-
nito. which he is said to have done
extensively.
In the emperor's reign the bands OF
feudalism that bound Japan to the
middle ages have been broken. He
granted a constitution voluntarily.
Literature, science and industry were
encouraged. 1t was only the remark
able advancement in the reign of Nut
suhito that made it possible for ORR
entail Japan to be equal to the task
of a possible successful war with
Russia.
War is costly, but it often lends the
most powerful stimulus to advance
ment. Japan has made more prog
ress within a few years than other
Oriental nations have accomplished
in centuries.-Boston Globe.
