nea pigs, white mice and rats, lizards, baby alIigators and parrots that eat the buttons off upholstery and the beading off ladies gowns and nlbple and destroy beautiful furniture Like the composite fiend of Scripture, their name is legion. I knew one unclean old woman who tended grocery as clerk that carried white rat around in her bodice night and day. One could never make out whether she car ried the rat to keep her warm or to keep 1t warm.

 It's all right, though. At least suppose it is. only one who loves hu- manity and feels sorry for it's suffer ing cannot help thinking of the mil- lion of little children that may be seen every day in our cities, hollow chested and with bowed shoulders and the sal low skin and bad teeth that belong all ways to the underfed. They are going to work in factories.
 And that brings me to lastly. which is this If I were just dying for something to love I would go to a maternity hospital and adopt dear little, cute little, nice little, sweet lit- i tie girl baby-a girl. mind you, not a boy--and I wouldn't be too blessed 1 particular whether she came of "de- cent and respectable parents or not. would take her just as the dear God gave her to the world and oestow love on her and surround her with cleanli- ness and comfort and purity and do my best to bring her up a strong, mo- be, beautiful woman, giving her im-

finding wider concrete expression. The colleges and other institutions are growing wealthier and the number of students seeking admission 10 the courts of wisdom and good fellowship is increasing year by year. In 1901 there were 647 universities, colleges and professional and technical schools in the United States. Of these 4s7 bore the title, If not always the sub- stance, of university or college. Men to the number of 75,472 and women, in numbers 27.s79. were then burning the midnight oil in search of learning.
 Growth of Decade.
 This represented an increase Of six ty-eight per cent. for men and 1ss per cent for women in the course of q decade. At that time the property possessed by the 473 institutions was valued at sss1.2so.7st. of which s177.- 100000 was in permanent endowment The total income was s33,S59,s12, with bensfactions of s1S,0e0,413.
 In 1904 the property owned by the institutions for higher education was valued at $565,216.545, gain of al- most $88.o00,e00 over the amount for endowments amounted to $206,565. .10s, or enough to pay nearly two-ffths of the operating expenses of the United States government for one year, Ex- ciuding benefactions, the sum of s40,- 829,1s3 was spent on the higher edu- cation of the maturing youth of the land. This sum, however, was hardly more than one-third of the amount spent by Uncle Sam on his navy last year and only about one-half of the cost of his army. It was about s16,- 100000 more than New York city spent on its public school system.
 The United States commissioner Of education indicated in fis last report. which is for the year ie03-0b, that in that school year an army of 12e,761 students was encamped in and about the institutions of higher education. arming and drilling themselves for the battle of life.

There are two phases of manifesto ton in the human liking for birds and animals, like the exalted and pervert- ed planetary aspects of the astrolo- gers One woman will have a normal. noble, sympathetic and intelligent good will toward animals. and another's fad for pets will show itself in a wholly morbid, senseless. hysterical way. I mean making an idiot of oneself over an animal, as when a woman kisses dogs, white rats and guinea pigs.
 Against a noble. kindly compassion for animals nothing is to be said. Such . compassion Is that manifested by Minnie Maddarn F1ske, the actress. Not long ago. driving along New York street, she saw a man cruelty flashing with a whip a .wornout, stag gering horse. trying to make 1t draw heavy truck.
 Mrs. Fiske sent her cabman for q policeman and had the two legged brute arrested and fined. The horse was shot to put 1t out of It's suffering. It was the only thing to be done. This distinguished lady often sends stray, ailing dogs and cats to the animals animals. During her professional tours through the country she has had occasion to notice many a time the suf- TertnRs of food animals in transit across this great continent. She saw and acted. She is at the head of @ movement in connection with the Fed. eration of Women's Clubs to induce State Legislatures to force railroad companies to treat more humanely the dumb four footed brothers whom we cannibfes eat Mrs. Fiske is also an ardent and active antivivisectionist.
 don't mean that kind of an exer- else of the animal betting instinct. Again. can understand and sympa- thiEe altogether with the spirit that prompted a wealthy Philadelphia wo- man to set apart & large and fertile farm as home for aged horses, where they might live out their natural lives instead of being killed because they were of no account On that farm the brave old beasts browse in peace and joy and grow chummy and congratu- late one another in horse talk on the good times they are having.
 I don't mean the rich Philadelphia woman in connection with morbid psy- uhologicaI manifestations of the moth- CT instinct.
 Here Is woman whom do mean. Not very long ago middle aged wo- man, stout, beefy looking, entered one of the most fashionable restaurants of New York city. A young man was her escort. In her arms che carried a huge yellow plush Teddy bear. She sat the stueffd rag thing upon the ta- bIa beside her while she ate dinner.

''pet" bull terrier, considered mild as new milk and gentle as child, flew at his mistress and chewed her all to pieces? And after she was dead her husband was sorrter about losing the dog, which had to be killed, than he was about losing his wife. and said so.

Percentage of LmIteracy Smaller in Middle West Than in Enst--EfTect of Spread of Higher Educa-

Chicago Chronicle,
 The endowment of the general edu- cation board recentluy with a sum sufficient to bring it's resources up to $43,000, 900 raises some interesting questions The income of this in- mense amount is largely to be ap- piled to the promotion of higher edu- cation In this country. It Is probable that the added facilities provided for this branch will result in a constantly increasing percentage of highly traln- ed men.
 What will be the effect upon the life of the nation? Will college training still be looked upon by most of those who come from the so-called lower walks of life and from the farm as stepping stone to some professional employment If so, will the profess sional ranks become even more crowd ed than some of them are now? Or will those who have toiled and saved in order to obtain the coveted educa- ton take up agricultural pursuits and utilize their culture in cultivating the soil and improving the life of the small community of which they are part? What effect will a growing per- centage of college trained men have upon the political life of the nation?
 Often Only an Investment.
 VIII 1t mean more independent votes or a more highly organized machine and shrewder bosses to lead the nat uralized citizen in paths which are dark7 Will higher education be con sidered in the future more than 1t has been in the past in America a means | to culture rather than an investment? There is a growing tendency at the present time on the part of the col- l iege man to enter business and the business world is looking for him.

II was q favorite saying OF Ban
croft, the historian, who was a vigor-
Gus old man at ninety, that the secret
of long life is In never losing ones
temper. The remark was simply
concrete way of expressing the hy-
gienic value of amiabIlity--.a princi-
pie which, until lately. has scarcely
been considered in the training OF
children. Hitherto we have regarded
fretfulness, melancholy and bad tenn
per as the natural concomitants OF
illness. But modern science shows
that these mental moods have actual
power to produce disease.
No doubt In most cases imperfect
bodily conditions are the cause of ir-
ritable and depressed feelings, yet
sometimes the reverse is true, and a
better knowledge OF physiological
laws would show them to be effect
rather than cause. The fact that dis
contented and gloomy people are new
er in good health is an argument in
favor of the theory that continual in
diligence in unhappy thoughts acts az
a poison and creates some form oi
disease.-CongregatioIalist.

Writing in Science, DR.. Charles r.
Stockard. of Columbia University
gives a brief account OF an interesting
experiment In artificially producing a
single median eye In the fish embryo
by means OF sea water solutions of
magnesium chloride II seems that
Fundulus embryos when developed in
certain strength solutions of Nigel In
sea water form a large single median
eye. This condition is comparable TO
the one-eyed human monsters known
as Cyolops. Cyclopia or Synopthalmia.
The single eye results from an an
tero-medio-ventral fusion of the Gle
ments OF the two optic vesicle3 at an
early developmental stage. This fu-
sion is more or less complete in the
different embryos.
The large compound optic cup in
duoes the formation of a single lens.
This lens is formed from ectoderm
different In position from that of the
normal lens forming region The lens
is abnormally large In size as is also
the optic cup, and the size OF the for
mer varies directly with that of the
latter. II is probable that there Is no
localization of lens forming substance
In the ectoderm of the FISH embryo.
This Internationally In the devel-
opment of the optic cup and lens Is
Interestingly compared with the pro-
cesses OF development in the amphib-
ian eye as shown by recent expert
ments.
Mixed sea water solutions OF MgCl
and NaCl also cause the onc-eyed con-
dition. Since such a defect is charac-
teristic OF the Nigel action when used
in sea water solutions one must infer
that the Mg constituent in the mix
ture is responsible for the result.

ANCIENT CUANAJUATO MINES.
From Ono Shaft $500, ,ooo, ,oco In silver
Is Said to Have Been Taken.

At the end OF the eighteenth CEN
Jury the mines OF the Guanajuato were
he foremost OF their kind. 1t was
ihen that the yalenciana shaft was
sunk to 1,S00 feet. and it is still the
deepest In the district
This work was completed In 1TS5
At fabulous expense Il is said to
have cost million, though even this
expenditure seems small compared
with that of the Combination shaft,
sunk on the Comstocl lode in 1881;
his was 3.l00 feet deep and cost &C.
10000.
The cost OF the big shaft Of the
Sslenciana. yuae Offset by an extra,
ordinary production, stated mt $780,,
100000, most Of IT extracted during the
latter half of the eighteenth century.
This figure ponds with the total
output of the Comstock up to the Tina
when the lower workings were aban-
doned In 1884
On August 20, 1904, the kings tax
on the Valenciana, amounting TO the
sum OF Seas .sG6. was paid As this
represented one-ffth OF the yield Of a
period OF five years, it serves TO SUBJ
stantiate even the extraordinary stat
istios OF these old mines The other
mines on the Neta Madre and those
on La Luz veins also produced enorm-
ously at this period, so that the popu-
ation Of the district at the beginning
Of the nineteenth century had in
creased to 100000.
This was the time OF Humboldts
visit He says that the whole vein
fthe Veta Madre) OK Guanajuato may
se estimated at four ounces of silver
per quintal OF minerals As a quintal
Is 100 pounds, this means ore ayerag-
Ing eighty ounces per ton Of 1000
pounds.
Then came the long years OF the
revolution against Spanish domination.
In 1910. when in the height OF her
prosperity as q mining center, Guiana
iuato was attacked by the republican
.orces and life became insecure. so
hat mining operations were discour-
aged and all work OF importance was
discontinued. Deep work ceased en-
drely. no shafts were sunk and the
production OF ore was reduced TO in
frequent shipments taken from sup
porting pillars and from the sides OF
Did slopes
Even such decadent mining became
insignificant as the miners were driven
.oward the surface BY the slowly ris-
ng water. 1t was al this period OF
general lawlessness that the heavy
walls with watch towers were built
around the mines. until every prop
srty o, consequence had the look OF
A fortress Similar protection WAS
given TO the reduction works. which
became fortified Enclosures.
