UNIQUE COLLEGE CUSTOMS.
Institutions Of ,NSpwning in the West
Have Some Surprising
Performances.

There are certain college customs
which are universal. but each uniyer-
sity has certain institutions peculiar
to itself, and among the great western
universities of the United States there
have grown up some that are abso-
lutely unique. One Of the most sur
prising, says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Is the BARRIERS day of the University
of Michigan. Some years ago the
sophomores. before Easter, caught a
few freshmen and gave them hair cuts.
The freshmen paid them back In kind,
and there grew up an annual festival
Of week when the two lower classes
go about with shears to remove the
locks Of their rivals. The week is Gel
ebrated just before the Easter holidays,
and most Of the members Of the two
lower classes leave for their homes
looking like convicts This year there
were only 20 men out Of the two classes
that escaped the operation, which H
performed with more zeai than skill.
Far out at Leland Stanford, in Cali
fornia, they have what in called plug
ugly" On a night in the spring all the
men come out with ancient top hats on,
and then begins battle royal, with the
object Of breaking as many Of the hats
as possible. The battered stovepipes
are kept by the students as souvenirs.
and in every room In the university
can be found the remains of what was
once a tile.
A club recently formed at the Uni
versity Of Missouri is, however, the
strangest Of all collegiate organiza-
tons. 1t Is called the Hobo club, and
its avowed purpose is the encourage
ment Of the state Of hoboism. The first
convention was held three weeks ago
in little town some so miles distant
from the university, and each member
came on foot or by freight attired in
nondescript garments, like a true fol-
lower of the road Il is specified in
the constitution that member will be
expelled II he spends any money on
they way to these conventions, and
during the week all the students be-
come tramps In every sense of the
word. The club now has a member
ship Of 200, and the novelty is 20 TAX
ing that there is talk Of forming other
chapters at other universities and hold
ing each year hobo" convention.

The publishers of this notable book by
DR.. Ralcy Hustled Bell are bringing out a
third edition revised and enlarged by the
author. The book has been out for some
thing more than year and has had a
great success. 1t is bright and instructive
and should prove valuable addition TO the
libraries of teachers, writer's and public
speakers. DIR. Bell is a writer of verse, and
is one who feels the content and the worth
of words and champions their rights. His
book is plea for choice and elegant die
ton. 1t has not the pedantic or the didactic
qualities of the ordinary schoolbook, but
there is a humor in 1t which is quite re-
freshing to find between the covers of a
rhetoric text The style is epigrammatic
and one can hardly help learning some
thing from even a hasty perusal. Kinds &

Children of Men.

Bruno Leasing knows the ghetto of New
York as well as Israel Zangwill knows it's
London counterpart, and in Children of
Men" he has painted many absorbing pic
lures of this foreign country that has been
transplanted to America. The stories in
this book are of many kinds-some with
enthralling plots, others mere sketches;
some full of tragedy and heartbreak;
others sparkling with the purest comedy,
and in all are given a many-colored pic
ture of the life of the Jew in America. The
Hebrew has always been more successful
than any other in depicting the life and
manners of his own race. Perhaps he is
more retrospective; at any rate he is al
ways an artist. And Leasing knows his
people well. He writes one who has lived
with them, suffered and rejoiced with
them, and who understands the manner
and the meaning of their lives. From the
pathos and misery of THE End of the
Turk" the dramatic intensity Of The
Poisoned Chair" to the rollicking humor
of out Of His Orbit" and the delicate
romance of "Hannukat Lights" he has
seen and depicted many phases Of the He
brew character and life. There is great
promise in these stories, for the author
shows himself capable of the very best
kind of work. He has a good name, and
will probably add fame to it, Mcclure,

The Diversions of N BookIover

1t is seldom that a reviewer comes upon
a more delightful book than this volume
OF desultory chat by Adrian II. Joline. 1t
has no definite object or purpose, but it is
most interesting nevertheless. The author
talks of books and, book collectors and
bookworms; about bindings and first edi-
tons and extra Illustrated books; about
authors and odd characters in the literary
world. 1t is kindly and instructive, and il
Is enlivened with sparkling anecdotes. AS
the author explains in his preface, Oliver
sions, understand are those things which
turn or draw the mind from care, business
or study, and thus rest and amuse. In
these discussive papers L have aimed to
keep within this definition. They must not
be regarded too seriously. and those who
may feel disposed to read them will remem-
Der that they are meant to be taken up
and laid aside at odd moments; the conf
dences OF one who claims to share with
many thousands of his countrymen love
of books for their own sake" Every such
lover of books for their own sake should
have a copy of Mr.. Jolines book. The
writer inspires confidence in the booklOver
from the very first page, and his wonderful
pointed criticism increases this feeling of
comradeship from chapter to chapter. This
is the kind of book which should be writ
ten only by one who is past middle life, for
only such a one can write ii well and COM
mand respect for his utterances. (Mr Joline

The Bar Sinister.

This story has already appeared in col
lection of stories by Richard Harding Davis,
but owing to its immense popularity the
publishers have this year given it separate
cover. 1t certainly merits the attractive
form, for there was never a better dog story
In the language Furthermore, Davis has
never written a better story of any kind
than this autobiography of a low-born cur
who discovers a lofty ancestry and wins
blue ribbons at dog shows from his own
aristocratic father. 1t is a work of art, and
would gain its author fame If he had never
written another line. But it is too well
known to require a review at this late day.

are fine illustrations In colOrs by Z. g. Ashe

The Federation of Religions.

In a small but well-illed volume DR..
Hiram Vrooman, president of the Fedora
ton of Religions, lays before the public the
purpose and plans of that organization. The
book, however, is rather a demonstration of
the necessity of the federation than pro-
posal for practical procedure. AS the au-
thor states, he does not endeavor to fore
cast any conclusions at which the organiza-
ton may ultimately arrive, but to prove
that it has a worthy mission and that we
may expect from 1t contributions TO re-
ligious thought such as men in their indi-
vidual caracity could never possibly evolve.
In the eight chapters which make up this
little volume the writer discusses phe-
nomena distinguished from philosophical
conclusions, the inmost and supreme es
sence of the mind, spiritual substance, the
mind as mcrocosm, spiritual sciences and
philosophy and discriminating between evil
dence. A remarkably clear and compre
hensive philosophical argument is packed
into the $50 pages, and the whole book is
intensely interesting to all who are in SYM
pathy with the work. AS a statement of the
position of spiritual science and philosophy
at the present time there could be nothing
more succnct and lucid. A theological or
philosophical library will be incomplete
without DR.. Vrooman's book. The Nunc
Licet Press, Philadelphia.
