Catching Mail from Flyers.

Rapid delivery in mails is one Of
Iowa's blessings from a fast mail train
that races over It's prairies. The long
vexed puzzle of discharging mail from
moving trains without hazard to the
mail, the train and the bystanders is
now solved by an automatic device
operated by air from the brakes Of the
trains and the instantaneous action
thus secured. A platform Is arranged
on the car door on which the sacks
of mail to be delivered are placed.
Contact between the crane on the sta
ton platform and a trigger on the
mail catching arm on the car puts the
mechanism in operation; the mail
sacks are thus elected into a receiving
box placed at the side Of the track
so constructed that the air is forced
into either end by the momentum OF
the pouch. This acts as a cushion,
preventing damage to the pouch and
its contents. The process is equally
good for trains running at Is or those
at 70 miles per hour.

cHlNA'S SUMMER PALACE.
Charming Apartment Therein Given
Up to American Woman
Artist.

The summer palace, like all Chinese
palaces and temples, and even the
dwelling houses of the rich, consists or
a series of verandaed buildings, built
on stone foundations which rise about
eight feet from the ground, generally
of one story, around the four sides OF
rectangular or square courts, connected
by open veranda-like corridors. The
apartments set aside for my private
use, while in the precincts, writes
Katharine A. Karl, in with the EN-
press Dowager," in Century, were to
the left of the empress dowager's throne
room and near it, in order that might
be within easy reach Of my painting.
These apartments occupied an entire
pavilion. They were charming. Their
shining marble floors and beautifully
carved partitions, their painted walls
and charming outlook over fowery
courts. made them delightful retreat.
These pavilions at the palace have
movable partitions, and the rooms may
be made as small as closets or as large
as the whole building.
My pavilion consisted of two sitting
rooms, a dining-room and charming
bedroom, separated from one another by
screenlike walls of beautifully carved
open woodwork, with blue silk showing
through the interstices. In the larger
spaces were artistic panels OF flowers
painted on white silk, alternating with
poems and quotations from the classics,
in the picturesque, topographic writing
of the Chinese. On one Of the solid
walls was large water-color painting
on white silk, representing a realis-
tically painted peafowl in a fowery
field; an immense mirror formed the
other solid wall. The plate-glass lower
windows had blue silken curtains, the
upper windows, of white Korean paper,
were rolled down, and the rich perfume
of the flowers in the court came In.
In my honor, several foreign objets de
vertu adorned the tables and window
shelves. The bed, couch built into an
aloove, was covered with blue satin
cushions: and the windows were shad-
ed from the outside by blue silken avn
ings, which gave soft, subdued light TO
the room, that made it very cool and
restful looking.

MIR. CARNEGIE AND SMALL
COLLEGES.

At the annual dinner of the alumni
of the Stevens institute, alr. Andrew
Carnegie gave expression to senti-
ments which will receive endorsement
from lens OF thousands OF thoughtful
men, whether connected with educa-
tional institutions or engaged in bust
ness or professional vocations. He de-
clared that in his opinion young men
who go to small colleges get better
~educations thar those who attend great
universities.
There is not the slightest question
that too much time and attention are
given in the great Institutions to ath-
letics and sports of one kind or another
that have nothing to do with a young
mans studies. This absorption Of val
liable time not only affects the active
participants in athletic contests, but
it's pernicious influence extenas
throughout practically the entire stu
lent body of a great university. A
young man attending such an insti
tuition cannot escape this tendency to
make physical athletes and intellectual
cripples.
Physical exercise is not to be con-
demned altogether, but it should be
observed that n%inety-nine men out of
a hundred get all the physical exer-
else they need in pursuing their ordi-
nary lines of business. A young man
who receives a good intellectual train
ing at a college, or in the great school
of experience and practical business,
Is in a vast majority of cases better
equipped for the battle of life than the
stalwart young athlete who has neg-
lected his studies at a university for
the purpose of achieving distinction
in some physical contest. He can get
the former under NOR favorable con
ditions at a small college than at some
great institution where athletic exc
else is put to the front, and intellect
ual achievements are confined to a
few students whose C .llmon sense
points out for them the right path.
1t is the fashion among people of
wealth to send their sons to Harvard.
Yale or some ether university in the
east, where all the allurements men
toned are in full growth and vigor,
and yet there a be- no question hat
the same young men could achieve Iar
better results if they went to some
small university and confined them
selves strictly to their work as stu
dents.
