Mark TWain's Ant,

mark Twain in one Of his amusing
books Of travel attacks the ant" said
nature student. HE ridicules the
idea that the ant is industrious and
wise. He devotes three or four pages
to an account Of an ant making its
way homeward with a burden. He
shows the ant climbing grass stems
instead of going round them, doing a
hundred silly things, taking in every
case the long and foolish instead of the
short and sensible way home. And
hence, naturally enough, he concludes
that the ants wise industry is over
rated-naturally enough, l say, Mark
Twain's ignorance being granted, for
he was unaware when he wrote that
long and interesting passage that many
kinds Of ants are blind. He did not,
for all his close observation, take up
his little ant subject, look for its eye
sockets and find them absent It was
a blind ant Mark Twain studied, and
he didn't know t.''-Cincinnati En-

"When did he begin to do that?"
II never noticed it until last night.
After he had gone to bed and was
sound asleep he got up, dressed him

"He did that in his sleep?"
"He did. l watched him. He didn't

When 1 am dead, and nervous hands

EVERY SOUND HAS ITS
MEANING FOR THE BLIND MAN

To hear all the noises of the city,
the many vehicles that come aand go,
the automobiles, the horses hoofs on
the hard roads, the footsteps of men
and women as they hurry along, but
to see nothing, absolutely nothing.
This Is the experience at the blind
man who was on the streets in Can
on City the other day. A multitude of
sounds in a dark night; this is the
blind mans day time in the city.
But these noises mean more to him
than to persons who can see. Those
who have eyes do not pay much atten-
ton to the ordinary sounds of the city
unless they are unusually loud or
harsh. But the blind man takes notice
of them all from the very faintest to
the loudest. He has them all classi-
fed in his mind and is very skillful
in determining the source whence
they come.
Il want to know" the blind man
says, "the same as other people"
A blind person can feel his way
home, can feel the face of his watch
to tell the time, can dress and undress
without much trouble, can go from
room to room in his house and find
the things he wants but he can't feel
everything that goes by him in the
street He must learn what they are
by the sounds they make. Nothing
that moves on the earth is absolutely
uoiseless, not even the smallest in
sects. 1t is the fault of the ears If the
sounds are not heard.
The blind man is familiar with all
the different bells that ring in the
city and he can distinguish them afar
OF. From the sounds that the different
vehicles make he can determine
whether they are buggies, carriages.
loaded wagons or automobiles.
He pays particular attention to the
football of the person who pass on
the sidewalk. and he knows from the
patter of the feet whether they are
children or grown-up people and
whether they are large or small, men
or women. He hears the tagging steps
and the one that hurries by The
drunkard is known by his unsteady
walk and the proud man by the way he
puts down his foot.
The most interesting sounds that
he hears are the voices of the passing
crowd. From morning until night he
catches broken fragments OF CONVERSE

then a complete sentence. but general

Il sit here all day and listen" the

sound to me. but l am familiar with
every noise and to me each one has a
meaning.

social ambition that inevitably brings
in its train the restless fever of &C
quisition, the madness of greed, the
ambition for power through financial
success.
It is woman who is at once the So
cial bulwark, the autocrat and the
snob. 1t is woman who cares for the
pretty observances~a nd formaHties Of

weaknesses become womenis strength,

Club life, as IL exists to-day at the
university, is ~demoralizfng, says Pres
ident Wilson, mot because there is
In the clubs any cynical indifference
to study, but because the social activ-
tiles into which their members are
naturally and inevitably drawn are
very many and very delightful and
very engrossing, and study has to
take its chance In competition with
them.
"These Influences" he continued,
"are splitting classes into factions
and endangering that class spirit
upon which we depend for our self
government and for the transmission
Of most Of the loyal impulses of the
university. The politics OF candi-
dacy for membership in the upper
class club not only produce a constant
and very demoralizing distraction
from university duties in freshman
and sophomore years. and inforce all
sorts OF questionable customs, but
they cut deeper even than that.
Group rivalries break the solid
Ar1ty Of the classes. The younger
classes are at no point made con-
scious of the interests OF the 1nlver-
sity; their whole thought is concen-
trated upon individual ambitions,
upon means OF preference, upon com
binationS to obtain selfish individual
ends. They strive against this when
they become juniors and, seniors, but
they do not strive against IL success
fully, and when they are freshmen
and sophomores they do not strive
against it atSalf.

COOP FELLOWS ALI, AND EQUALS, AT ONE COLLEGE
Princeton University & Adopt q Radical Plan of Social Democracy, Doinu
Away NTH the Individual cIubs--Lfve and Eat Together at
Residential ouads.-Present Club Life, Says President
Wilson, is Demoranzins and UnMheIesome.

Princeton, N. President Wood
row Wilson has just instituted a most
radical and complete reorganization
of social life at Princeton University
one that marks a departure from
the other big universities and which
will be studied with deep interest as
to it's working out.
In brief, it aims to absorb the
various college clubs into what are
termed Residential Quads," where
there shall be good fellowship and
closer intimacy between faculty, up
per class men and "freshies."
The system will establish q real
democracy, with each Quad" occupy
ing dormitories, dining rooms and
rooms for social enjoyment in COM
mon. Instead of the rivalry and BIT
ter feeling engendered by club cleo
lions and reflections, there will be
unity and a desire for the common.
.good-true loyalty to the university.
President Wilson in one phrase
summarizes the plan: ITO associate
the four classes in a generally or
ganic manner and make Of the uni
versity a real social body, to the ex-
'clusion of cliques and separate class
social organizations to give to the
university the kind Of common con-
sciousness which apparently comes
from the closer sort of social con-
tact, to be had only outside the class
room, and most easily to be got about
a common table. and in the contacts
of a common life"
The Board of Trustees of the uni
Versity have adopted the main parts
embodied in the plan and 1t will
probably be put into effect shortly.
