GIFTS IN PROPER SPIRIT.
of Recent Benefactions
to CNAeUes


After all, the principal use of the
college is as a place where the next
generation is to get right ideas of
what is worth while In life itself. The
mere facts which, to the ignorant.
seem the advantages of education, are
of minor Importance We hear much
in the periods of college commence
ments of the necessities of the mod
ern university in the way of enlarged
eIdowments and increased equipment.
Some of this talk is, of course, rea-
sOpable enough. 1t is addressed main
" to the rich as a demand for the
recognition by them of duty Of gen
crosby, one which in our days has
had most remarkable response. But
apparatus is an impossible substitute
for IDEALS, and the best endowment
Of a college is the character of its
graduates. The $4,000 beQuest, for
example, to his Alma Mater, which
the will of the late William H. Bald
win contained, was small if consider
ed as a mere matter of money, but his
character and the ideals of public
service which his life expressed form
part of that permanent endowment
which alone makes a university great.
The memory of a railroad president
ready to sacrifice, if need be, his posi-
ton, rather than lose an opportunity
for usefulness on an unpaid committee
Of citizens banded together for i'm

fiber of university life than any mere
material bounty from ravenous fin
gers unclutched by hypocrisy or the

Americans and Rritons.

An Englishman in Canada writes
home in considerable excitement as
follows: "The majority of Canadians
never read an English paper of any
kind whatever; all their literature is
American. All the booksellers shops

with what result? There can be only
one result-Canadians will think
'Americanly.'

And bright meath heavens sunnfest

The fairy isle is still afar,
Affair the skies with sunshine best:
But Hope will be my guiding star
And Love will aid me in the quest.

| to IL O'Clock, it indicates that the wind is d.
! rectly up the range. Six o'clock means at the
| marksmans back; o'clock, across the range
from left to right and o'clock, from right to
left. The Intermediary numbers Jana even the
minutes are marked enable the riheman &c
calculate just the angle at which the wind
| crosses the range. On the butts and half way
from the marksman to the butts there stand
two ffty-foot poles bearing twenty-foot red
pennants. The energy with which these pen
nants whip their points off indicates to the prac-
tised eye the strength of the wind. In addition,
there is on every Krag sliding hind sight, with
peephole and graduated gauge, showing how
high it must be raised to make the bullet carry
true at various distances. and a graduated wind
gauge permitting the hind sight to be shifted
from right to left, according to the direction in
which the wind crosses the range and its
strength.
The embryo team member now gets to work
with his coach behind him. He is shooting for
instance. at 800 yards and accordingly. elevates
his hind sight to 800 yards, and sets it directly
in the centre. But the coach tells him to OBJ
serve that the barometer is above the normal,
whereupon the sight goes to $40. The tempera-
, ture however, has fallen, and back goes the
sight to 100 But the target is bright the sun
being behind the marksman and shining on the
target. So the sight is lowered 10 $50. Were
the target dull. the sight would be raised. The
sun is on the gun sight also, though. Raise it
again. Now, the wind. 1t is blowing about four
points to the left OF directly up the range, at
eighteen miles hour, and will thus act to re-
tard the bullet, lowering It's trajectory and
drive 1t to the right, To correct the trajectory
the hind sight IS once more raised. and finally
comes back to 500 yards, where the amateur
would blndly place it, Then the sight is moved
one point TO the left on the wind gauge thereby
throwing the muzzle OF the gun on a line Al O4
inches 20 the left OF the bulls-eye when 1t is
apparently pointing directly at that object and
the marksman is ready TO make five points, pro-

He Is lying down, and to enable him to steady
his gun he slips the loop of the strap around his
left upper arm and pulls the strap tight by
moving his elbow out. while his hand pushes
