Andrew Carnegie has assured Pitts
burg people that IL they are really de-
sirous Of having a university which
shall beat anything in the country he
will help.
Imagination falters, says the New
York World, when 1t attempts to pic
ture the struggle that must follow
among the philanthropists when such
pacemaker starts in the schoolmak-
ing race. Fancy the scene at the Mil
lionaires' Club FIVE years from now
when Mr.. Carnegie will come swinging
jauntiIy into the room with his golf
clubs under his arm. 81 ~
"Well, john" he will say, II have
just added 200 acres to the Pittsburg
campus and deposited 100000 in
steel bonds as endowment to provide
gymnasium facilities : e.,
Mr.. Rockefeller will rub his hands
in glee and say:
''Too late, Andrew. Very good in its
way but antiquated. I have just bought
Lake Michigan for the University Of
Chicago for its crews to practice on.

ter" E"#5FEE
Mr.. Vanderbilt will look up from his
paper and remark casually:
II might say that the family has
just purchased all the land within two
miles Of the Yale campus and will COW
er 1t with dormitories."
Mr.. Vanderbilt will say this very
modestly, but with a CLEAN Of triumph
in his eye. But "Ah!' he will exclaim,
as he returns to his paper. boy, bring
my checkbookl Gentlemen, Mrs. Stan
ford has just bought the Sierra Nevada
mountains for the school Of forestry
Of the Leland Stanford, Jr., Univers-

The three rich men will pale at this
announcement.
There's one thing left to dor they
will cry in chorus. "Raise the profess
sors' salaries. We must stay at the
top"
II give an annual income of $780,
900 to raise the professors salaries"
one of the millionaires will blurt out.

Charming Fashion OF Days OF EmBroRn

OF the multitude of charming things
which the present revival OF fashions
has given us, nothing is more fetch

torial field. ..z4....'.,
The scallop was in high favor with
the Empress Eugene, and consequent.
ly the second empire gowns are very
literally bescalloped. 49,. g.. .4..r:
The peerless Eugene rarely made a
mistake in matters Of dress, and her
Judgment was unerring. She was the
arbiter Of fashion for many years, and,
save for the ugly crinoline, the modes
Of that period were exquisitely grace
full and beautiful, and the numerous
things which we are now borrowing
from the second empire are invariably
attractive when adapted to our present
day ideas.
This season we are being treated to
wealth of scallops, for the French
have taken fancy to them, and thus
We are favored.
Many Of the new gowns have no
other form of decoration than scallops
bound with the same material. One
may perhaps suppose that this is a
most economical arrangement, but
scallops are only for the long purse,
unless they are made at home, for II
requires a deal of time to bind each
scallop carefully, and as the binding
down is done by hand, it is long
task, and in large dressmaking estab-
lishments this sort of thing means big
bills, but on expensive gowns founces
are scalloped till the whole is as fluffy
as with leaves.
Scallops are bound with a contrast
ing material in color many times, and
thus a great variety may be obtained
if one delights in scallops sufficiently
to have several gowns trimmed with
them in ones wardrobe at one time

The Ls-sss. Book and Map.

The largest book in the world is
in the British museum. 1t is an at
las measuring 5 feet 10 inches by
3 feet 2 inches and weighing close
upon two hundredweight. The
largest map in the world is the
ordnance survey map of England,
which covers over 1OS,OO0 sheets.
In its preparation it cost 100000
q year for twenty years. The scale
varies from ten feet to one-tenth of
an inch to the mile. The details
are SO minute that maps having =
scale of twenty-five inches "show
every hedge, fence, wall, building
and even every isolated tree in the
country. The plans indicate not only
the exact shape of every building,
but every porch, area, doorstep,

CiSOpatrs's Needles.

AT Heliopolis were the Temple Of

dotus visited "because the teachers
are considered the most accomplish
ell men in Egypt" When Strabo
came hither, 400 years later. he saw
the house which Plato had occupied.
Moses here learned "all the wisdom
of the Egyptians" Papyri describe
Heliopolis as full of obelisks." Two
Of these columns were carried to Al
exandris ! 1.937 years ago and set up
before the Temple Of Caesar. Ac-
cording to one authority, this tenn
pie was built by Cleopatra. In any
case the two obelisks acquired the
name of Cleopatra's Needles, and,
though the temple itself in time dis
appeared. they remained where they
had been placed-one erect, one
prostrate-until in recent years one
was given to London and the other
