Universities and Cities.

When reason exists for the creation
of special schools in crowded cities
they will serve for the continuous
widening of the energies of the uni
versities, but for the ordinary student
life in the city is a drawback; it
leads to mental and sometimes moral
dissipation; its distraction, its racket,
its hustle operate against that concen-
tration without which scholarship is
not attained The ideal study-room
is a cave, but the capacity or willing
ness of scholars to be hermits can
not be confidently affirmed--Brook-

TAUGHT Need Of Fire BRIGADE.

Sir James A. Power, mayor of Wa
terford. Ireland, was the hero of a fire
in Waterford about two years ago. An
entire square of buildings was COM
pletely consumed. Two men were
overcome in one of the upper stories
of one of the burned buildings. Sir
James rushed to the rescue. but, ow-
ing to the rapid spread of the flames,
was forced to abandon the stairways
and carry his men to the windows. By
tying bed clothes together, he succeed
ed in lowering his men safely to the
street, but to save himself he was
compelled to jump 1t was a thirty
foot leap and he was carried uncon-
scious to a hospital, where he re-
manned six weeks. Shortly afterward
he was elected mayor of his city and
one of his first official acts was to or

THE COST OF WAR.
Waste of Money About the Least of
the Evils.

Waste of Money About the Least of
the Evils.
We hear much about the money
cost of wars, past and present. And
that is indeed a consideration, a most
convenient and impressive measure of
the penalties for Indulgence in the
blood madness. But it is by no means
the largest item in the bill; it is a
Gistanced second to another item.
That item is character cost. To re-
move the average man from the Or
derby and restrained routine of peace
full occupation and home influence is
to release the ancient beast. Poets
TO not tell the story. historians hide
it, orators lie about it, and even the
novelistS join in the miserable decep-
ton. But the character cost of war
is frightful. And the poison spreads
from him who was permeated by it in
the camps and fields of GLORY" to his
associates, to his children's children.
THE wages of sin is death in
part. But sometimes it seems that the
larger part of those wages is tainted
and shriveled and perverted life. And
of that part is the chief penalty for
violation of the unqualified mandate:

Plush Seats Carry Germs.

German health officers who have
been investigating conditions in the
railroad trains of that country have
arrived at the rather surprising con-
clusion that one runs more risk in
travelling second class on the rail-
ways of the empire than in taking
third-class carriages The reason for
this is that the third-class cars have
uncushioned wooden benches, which do
not harbor as many germs as do the
cushions provided in second-class cars.
In this country there has been action
taken in some of the states absolutely
forbidding the use of plush or any
similar material as a covering for
car seats

A Little Woman.


In a little precious stone what splendor

In little lump of sugar how much

SO in little woman love grows and null

You recoIlect the proverb says. "a word

"A peppercorn is very small, and seasons
every dinner
More than all other condiments, although

Just SO a little woman is, if love Will let

There's not a joy in all the world you
will not find within her
And as within the little rose you'll find

And in a little grain of gold much price

So in a little woman there's a taste of

Watches of Olden Days.

There is uncertainty as to when
the portable watch. as we understand
it to-day, came into use. 1t was prob
ably at the close of the sixteenth cen
fury. Queen Elizabeth owned a large
number of watches. Quen Mary of
Scots was the possessor of a skull
shaped watch. In fact, the deaths
head" pattern was at that time much
in vogue. Endless were the styles,
for there were watches shaped like
books, pears, butterflies and tulips.
The Nuremberg egg was a special
shape, and was first made in 1000.

Game of the Bird Dealers.

The game of the bird dealers is
played as follows: The children
stand in a row, leaving two outside.
These two represent the bird dealers.
Each child represents a bird-one be-
ing a crow, another a crane, another a
canary, and so on. One bird dealer
says to the other:
Il wish to buy bird"
What kind of a bird?" asks the
second dealer
"A bird that can fly fast" says the
first dealer.
Very we'll" answers the other
dealer, take what you wish
Then" says the first dealer, 81 will
take a robin
AS soon as the word is out of his
mouth, the robin" must leap from the
row and run around it to escape. If
he catches the bird, he puts it in a
cage, where it must stay until all the
other birds are caught.

are rapidly becoming epidemic, es-
pecially among the children.
Progress has been made in restor-
ing the burned dwellings, so that prob
ably the question of a bare shelter be

can be also secured without great diff

Nursed Bows in Blue.

Mrs. Fanny T. Hazen, president of
the Massachusetts army nurse associa-
ton, had a shorter term of hospital
service during the war than many
others, because her age would not ad-
nit of her beng mustered in to the
work.
But although the time which she
served was limited, she was among
the most loyal and faithful of the
women who sacrificed themselves to
their country during those trying
times.
She used to remark that she would
have given years of her life if she
could have taken the place of a broth
er who was a volunteer in the army.
There were also two younger brothers
" no enlisted, and to her, it seemed.
when the war broke out in 1861, that
her greatest misfortune was to have
been born a girl.
1t was Mrs. HaZen's greatest desire
at that time Miss Titus, to become an
army nurse. She applied to both the
sanitary and Christian commissioners
to go as a nurse under their auspices.
but the answer in each instance was.
You are too young"
She decided to leave her home in
Vermont and go to Washington indie
pendently. Securing letters from Rev
G. H. Hepworth, pastor of the church
of the Unity, Boston, and from other
influential persons, she started -or the
capital.
Arriving there she called upon Sur
geon General Hammond, who told her
that it would be of no use to go to
Miss Dix, but that if any surgeon in
| charge of a hospital would give her
a position as nurse, he would in
dorse her name, which would place
her on record as a regularly enrolled
army nurse.
Contrary to advice, she did go to
Miss Dix, who said to her: Child.
l shall not say no, though it is entire
ly against my rules to take any one SO
young l believe your heart is in the
| work, and that l can trust you. l shall
send my ambulance tomorrow morning
| to take you to Columbian hospital,
! there to remain in quarters till l send
you to Annapolis. In the meantime
you will be under training of Miss
Burghardt." This was in 1864.
Shortly after her admission to the
Columbian hospital, Mrs. Hazcn was
stationed in charge of Miss Burg
hardt's ward, the latter having been
| granted a furlOugh.
| She remained there until the hos
pital closed, June 81, 1865. During the
summer of ga the hospital was filled
with wounded men from the Wilder
ness, from Spottsylvania and from
| Cold Harbor.
Mrs Hazen wrote many letters
| home to the friends of wounded men,
and she prepared many bodies that
| were sent home for burial. She never
failed to place beside the heart OF
each silent soldier a bouquet of the
florists choicest flowers. Mrs. Hazen
