SELF SUPPORTING STUDENTS.
Splendid Results Achieved by AM
bilious Youths in Amer
lean Colleges.

The most hopeful characteristic Of
the American colleges is the self-sup-
porting student, says the Cincinnati
Post. 1t has been said that any boy in
this country who wants an education
can get it, if he wants it bad enough.
The truth of this is being demonstrate
ed now more clearly than ever before.
There is common complaint that the
poor boys chances to get ahead in the
world are not what they used TO be.
That is not borne out by the facts in
any department of life.
Since the beginning young men have
worked their way through colleges.
Poverty has been no bar.
The growth of the practice is indi-
Gated by the report of the secretary OF
Columbia college committee on en-
ployment of students, from which it
appears that Columbia students during
the past summer earned $31,401, an in
crease of $13, 900 over their earnings
for the year before.
|. The number of vacation workers this
year was nearly ten per cent. of the
entire university attendance. The oc-
equations engaged in ranged in variety
from truck driving to the operation of
a printing Office, and the largest sum
earned was 81, 900 by a law student.
What the wage-earning student loses
from the college course he makes up
in practical application of his talents
to the real work of life. He is better
prepared, 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 encountered.
The boy who works for his education
learns what an education is for, and
places it in it's proper perspective in
his view of life.
No boy need despair because his
father is not rich enough to buy him
an education. II he wants it bad
enough, he can get it and by working
for it get something better still along
with it.

M A HAPPY.
Home in Yonlxers Park, N. r., That
Women Have Made for the
Lost and Sick.

There is near New York city a
stretch Of pasture land in which Usual
ly a number of happy dogs are caper-
ing, and the land and other things be-
Tong to these same dogs. There is a
barn for them with its comfortable
kennels heated by a coal fire, quite the
same as folks have, and in the house
nearby a friend is ready to make a Pill
| grimage to the kennels with medicine
| and bandages day or night. Anu THIS
is not for some especially pampered
| breed of dogs, but for all unfortunates
| of the race, says the Sun.
A woman not long ago realized the
| practical good that would result from
| establishing a home for dogs, cats and
| broken down horses. She has organized.
q band of workers to carry out the
| plan, and the result has been this home
| Cor them, the Bide-a-Wee Home for
Animals at Yonkers Park.
The object of the home is to provide.
a place where animals will receive kind.
treatment and care If they are sick.
| Just like q city hospital for humans. II
| the case Is hopeless the animal Is chic
roformed-not dumped into a gas tank
| with a dozen others to fight for a last
| breath of life.
There are many people who would
! keep a dog or cat instead of turning it,
into the street to be abused and finally
| caught and killed, If it could be taken
care of gratuitously for awhile. Any.
| animal taken to this home is welcomed.
II a release is signed, the animal is
placed in a good home and is visited
from time to time by an inspector.
Similar homes are doing good work
elsewhere in this country and abroad.
The Animal Rescue League Of Boston
cares for more than 1000 dogs and cats
each month, placing them in homes
where they remain under the supervis-
ion of the league.
Some of the women who run this
home have been asked why they don't
| direct their attention to human suffer-
ers instead of to dumb creatures. One
of the reasons, they say, is that there
are 134 institutions in this city for the
relief of human beings, and there was
only n 1.-TWO now for the benefit of
animals.
The home Gems to be a welcome
charity, for it is finding many sympa-
thizers; and since it has become known
that 1t needs and appreciates gifts to
help its work along, it has been receiv-
ing many-some in memory of lost ami
NAL friends.

MEXICAN SPA,NI. 81.
There Arc Many Variations from the
Language as 1t Is Spoken
in Spain.

A correspondent complains that the
modern Spanish dictionaries do not al
ways give the meaning of words used in
Mexican" Spanish. AS a rule, states
Modern Mexico, good speakers and
writer's in Mexico employ excellent
! Spanish; but, as has happened with
English in the United States, there are
many old words, obsolete across the At
lantic, still in current use, just as one
finds on the north shore of Massachu-
sets, and very especially in the "Old
Colony" a %colloquial use of Shake
| spearean words no longer current YER

ton Of V~elasquez's English
Dictionary, published by Appleton, has
most of the Mexican ~employments OF
words. But our correspondent instances
the adverb "violentamente,' which in
Mexico is commonly employed for
quickly" rapidly" or "hurriedly."
The new Velasquez does not give the
word in that sense. Itmeans, according
to the best great Spanish dictionaries,
abruptly" with violence" and, by a
very natural transition, has come to
mean quickly" hastily" etc.
"Pretender," in the sense of "to want"
is not a dictionary meaning, but il
arises out of one standard meaning OF
the word, which sis to claim For
example: EEL pretende $40, 900 pol

BACK TO SAILING SHIPS.
Would Welcome Voyages
in Clippers.

A lover of the sea has been prompted
to suggest, ,in--aH Iseriousness, that IL
would be a profitable and popular move
on the part of our1 leading STEAMSHIP
companies if they were to add to their
fleet one or two passenger sailing ships
with a view of affording those. passen-
gers who take the transatlantic trip
purely for health and pleasure, an op-
portunity to spend more days on the
ocean than they can enjoy in a trip
between America and Europe on a fast
modern steamship.
At the first blush, observes the Scien-
tiflc American, the suggestion that we
should return to the leisurely speed OF
the clipper sailing ship, seems almost
preposterous; and yet on second thought
when we bear in mind the wonderful
growth of the yachting spirit, the idea
is by NJ means visionary.
To a large and ever growing percent
age of European travellers, the sea voy-
age is one of the greatest inducements
to make the trip. With all our Wanted
advance in speed and comfort, there is a
question whether we have not sacrificed
many of those very features of the sea
voyage which tend to give rest to mind
and body.
The great demand for space for en-
gines, boilers and coal bunkers has made
1t necessary to cut down the stateroom
accommodation to absurdly narrow
limits-so narrow that not the most
elaborate furnishings and finish can dis
guise the fact that the average state
room is not much more than a stuffy
little box.
If a clipper sailing ship were designed
especially for transatlantic summer
travel, it would be possible, in the alb
sence of any provision for steam power
or cargo, to give up practically the whole
ship to passenger accommodation and
individual state rooms could easily be
made double the size Of those usually
found on the modern liner.
There would be a complete absence OF
vibration, and Of smoke and cinders, and
a general steadiness of motion which
only those who sail the seas under cam
a can properly appreciate.
If the ship were built with modern
speed lines, it should be able under IA
vorable circumstances to make the east
ward passage in from 12to Is days.
The westward passage would, OF
course, take longer; but as the travel
ems on such a vessel would be taking the
typ largely for the sake of the sea voy-
fge, a three orfour weeks journey would
be looked upon rather with favor than
with regret.

A favorite method of suicide in Japan
lately has been to leap over certain
water falls. So frequent have such oc-
currence become that police are now
stationed in their n~eighborhood, and
large notice boards are erected bearing
inscriptions in large letters, of which
the following is an example; do not
drown yourself here! Intended suicides
are warned that Heaven disapproves of
the utilization Of Kegon waterfall for
the purpose. This is certified to on the
best priestly authority, and serious con-
sequences in the hereafter are guaran-
teed. To drown here is also forbidden

ozonization OF MIL.

An apparatus in use in Germany for

so constructed that the milk contained
in a vessel flows thence in a thin stream
into another vessel placed below. The
wires and carbon points of a strong cleo
trio battery are SO arranged that the light
arc passes through the stream or near it.
The ozone which is thereby engendered
from the oxygen of the air is said to be
sufficient to kill all micro-organisms
