KEEPING IDEALS.

That was wise old clergyman who
urged his brethren not to admit young
men to the ministry unless they were
evidently more broad-minded and en-
thusiastic in their faith than their
elders. I'VE must allow" he said,
'for the inevitable shrinkage." The
same allowance is necessary In every
life for the sure closing In of the real
upon the idealc of youth, and the un-
ayoidable narrowing OF hope and aim
that must come with middle age. The
more idealism we start with, the more
stoutly we defend 1t against the
shocks it is certain to receive, the
more joyous life will turn out to be
as we go on living. The dreariness
of the middle-aged view of life springs
largely from the fact that its ideals
are so shrunken as to be no longer
a source of vitality, of renewal, says
Harper's Bazar. AS long as we be-
lieve in life, and in love, and In friend
ship, and in heroism, and in other
ideal possibilities, life is worth living
and we are strong to take our part
in 1t. Living for ideals is happy and
courageous living. Living without
them is the dull gray life and apa-
thetic end"

WHOLESALE BANKING.

'No personal accounts, large or
small, wanted here; we do business
only with large corporations" This
was the reply the president of one of
the s2500o,000 Wall street banks gave
to an inquirer as to the minimum de-
posit that Institution would accept.
1t was notification that this was dis
tinctly a Wholesale bank" Such
an answe. would not have been made
five years ago. But this is a new age.
The billlon-dollar trust and the $685.
000o00 bank are to Wall street what
wireless telegraphy is to electricity
wonders. The vast demands of mod
ern industry, often requiring the nego-
tiation OF loan of s5,000000 upon a
few hours notice. with frequent calls
for stuDendous accommodation from
transcontinental railroads or syndi-
Gates finar cling foreign government
bond issues, have called into being
these new banks-veritable incarna-
ticns of power, holding, indeed, the
safety and happiness of a people in
their hands, Saturday evening Post.

THE czAR's PRIVATE FORTUNE.

Many newspapers have seriously re-
produce1 a telegram which appeared
in a Paris journal announcing that
the Emperor Nicholas had presented
his private fortune, amounting to
eighty millions sterling (Si00,C0e,0o0)
to the Russian government .or war
purposes. 1t was added that tL-s huge
sum stands to the credit Of the omper-
or in a bank of country not friendly
to Russia. Eighty millions would be a
pretty sort of sum to be held at
call by any bank; but the whole story
is a romance, and so are all the other
tales about the emperor's dealings
with his civil list. The fact is that
the emperor of Russia has no civil
list, and he draws at his discretion on
the imperial treasury, every ronble
Of which is supposed to be his prop
erty and absolutely at his disposal

MEDICAL COLLEGES.

Medical colleges are responsible for
the horde of failures who paraIe as
doctors and do what they can to men,
ace the public health. Some OF the
medical schools are get-rich-quick
schemes, taking every applicant who
comes along with the requisite fees.
They spoil hundreds of good farmers,
mechanics, shoemekers and black
smiths, issue sheepskins ard leave the
medical profession to struggle with
the reproach. Every decent doctor
should join him and pursue the fax
ers, grafters and moral perverters un-
til 1t is made too warm for them to
continue in the profession. A med
ical diploma ought to be beyond pur-
chase by anyone not fitted in every
way for the responsibilities Of ply
sician.-Sioux City Tribune.

WOMEN IN GERMANY.

The movement in Germany to open
the doors Of the universities to wom-
en- has failed in its chief purpose,
but it has led to something. Girls
are to be admitted to the classical
schools preparatory to the university
as an experiment. but there is posi-
tive opposition On the part of the gov
ernment to a classical training for
women. Instead, and ito maintain
the ideal position of German women
in the home" the instruction of girls
in the high schools is to be better
adapted to domestic requirements.
That is to say, the ambitious young
women are to be taught the art and
science of cooking and of household
work generally. The minister of in
struction does not seem to be i'm
pressed by the arguments in favor OF
erudite women, but he has lively
sense of the importance TO the coun-
try Of general good cooking.-Phila-
delphia Record.

HIGHER EDUCATION.

It Is not the least but one of the
greatest advantages Of higher educa-
ton that the woman of to-day does
know herself much better than did her
mother or grandmother, and with that
self knowledge comes better under
standing of her relations to the world
about her. The college girl of to-day
is healthier, stronger, saner. more in
dependent, more resolute and more
useful than were the social butterflies
or the household drudges of her
grandmother's time. In the expert
mental stages of this new develop
ment there may have been danger, but
the education of the body as well as
the mind is now looked after in all our
girls colleges, indeed, much better
than in colleges for the other SEX

GETTING BACK TO NATURE.

Students of American life think
that they detect distinct tendency to
revert TO nature. The first effort is,
OF course. to acquire a competence;
the second, TO amass fortune, but
the third is TO own n country place,
and to be able to spend all but the
winter months out In the open, away
from the crowded, dusty city. wheth-
er this be an effect of Inheritance, a
barking back to the form whence all
city dwellers at one time or another
sprang, or not, Il is an interesting
fact. Health is better. life Is longer
and happier, il all the time that can
be spared from the exactions of pusi-

illustrates. the enterprise and up-to-date
methods OF tho company behind 1t. 1t is
the aim OF the Winchester Repeating Arms
Company TO show at their exhibit the high
development which they have reached in
the making of guns and ammunition, and
one needs only to sec the exhibit TO realize
how near TO perfection that development
has come There can be seea the now auto

the modern smokeless powder shotgun

thing that can interest the devotees OF

ON How TO GET RICH.

Since some of cur very rich men
have taken to public discourse upon
all sorts OF matters their utterances
have somewhat diminished their repu-
tation for infallible wisdom. II has
been discovered that a man may pos
sess great wealth and still fail of
complete mastery of the science of
government or the principles of po-
litical economy. Nay, 1t Is evident
that such man may not even prove
a reliable guide 10 the inquirer who
seeks for the road 10 wealth.
One of the most didactic of our
vivacious millionaires has recently de-
clared that riches are within the
reach OF every man who wishes to be
rich. He asserts that there are but
two requisites for the acquisition of
wealth-moderate intelligence and un-
limited industry. Given these, he de-
Glaze. ,iiat any man can get rich.
Which is, Of course, entirely false
and misleading, even though it comes
from a gentleman who has piled up
great wealth and is now engaged in
piling up free Libraries. Everyone
knows that intelligence and industry
are not the sole essentials to the ac-
QUESTION of riches. Everyone knows
of men highly intelligent and thor
oughly Industrious who can scarcely
make a living.
1t is true that intelligence and in
dustry are qualities favorable to the
attainment of wealth, but 1t is not
true that the possession of those
qualities. even in the highest degree,
constitute any assurance of riches.
The roney-making faculty is a
thing apart from other natural endow-
ments. An ignorant, illiterate man
who possesses 1t will get rich, and
intellectual genius without 1t will re-
main poor all his life. Like a gift for
music. it can be cultivated, but it can
not be acquired.
The sayings of our loquacious mil
lionaires, like the aphorisms in the
copybooks, will not always bear analy-
sis. In the present instance the fall
sity of the proposition is evident to
everybody, since a vast majority of
the people, though they are intelligent
and hard working, never acquire so
much as a modest competence, let
alone wealth.--Chicago Record-Her-
aid.

caRRlNe TREE BUTCHERS.

II is satisfactory to note that public
opinion is being aroused on the sub
iect of the wanton destruction of
shade trees by the servants of tele-
phone, telegraph and electric light
companies, who are sent out to string
wires and who carry the implements
with which to make short work of a
tree which they deem In the way of
their operations. Such outrages are
usually committed when those able
and willing to protect trees are away
from home. Protests from women
count for very little, and tears for
even less. Against subsequent suits
for damages the companies are well
fortified. II valuable tree is once
spoiled what its owner can recover by
a suit at law would not trouble any
one.-Chicago Chronicle.
