President Angell, of the University of Michigan, referred the other day to the better and more practical instruc- tion that the colleges were giving to- day to their students in political sci ence. The interest of the students In governmental and administrative ques- tlons Is certainly deeper and more en- frightened than ever, and certain recent developments in these lines of study are as significant as they are gratify- Ing. According to some editorial ob- servations in the Outlook, in most col leges civic or good government clubs have been formed for the purpose of promoting scientific and practical study of national, state and municipal prob lens and keeping them informed of current tendencies, struggles, reform movements and experimental remedies. As our contemporary well says: Tn terest among students can be most quickly evoked, not through books, but, first, by lectures and papers from those in first hand touch with municipal h. terests, and, second, by requiring the students to begin some actual connec- ton with municipal affairs" The col lege civic clubs owe their existence to this feeling and to the need of con- tact with reality. A further step was taken when some twenty of these clubs banded together Into an Intercollegiate Civic League, whose function It Is to procure papers for the clubs, stimulate discussion, carry on an active core spondence, start clubs where they do not as yet exist, and bring them all into utilization with itself. A number of papers by well-known writers and workers have been secured by the league and printed In the college pa pers They have dealt with such ques. tons as municipal franchises graft and how to fight 1t, machines and popular rule, etc. Among the contributors have been Dr. Lyman Abbott, Jacob Riis, William Kent, of Chicago, Dr. Lindsay, of the Federal Child Labor Commit tee, and the solicitor for the Depart ment of State, MT. Scott. Such activi- ties and methods are the result of the improved instruction that Is now given in the colleges on problems of politics and government, and they will In turn react on such instruction and tend to improve 1t still further.

It Pays te Be Careful.

The spirit of cheerfulness Is some times the result of a happy tempera- ment whose nerves have never been disturbed by loss, sickness or calamity. Sometimes 1t is the abundance of youth still finding surplus of vigor after the tolls of the day. Sometimes 1t Is the expression of character which from the reserves of It's own nature and ex- perlence Is able to preserve cheerful disposition under even the most dis couraging circumstances and face life always with hope and good cheer Such character Is a strength and defense not only to him who has 1t, but to all his associates and to all who feel his influence. They are the watch towers of humanity, whose lights shine through the dark night of human strug- gle and whose word Is an inspiration of hope and encouragement.

To Freshen Blowers.

It always seems so distressing to see beautiful cut flowers wither and fade, and to revive flowers that are not ac- tually dead try this plan: Cut a tiny piece from each stem and place the stems in large glass. or, even better, jar of cold water; then submerge the jar in bucket of cold water, allowing the entire bunch to be almost covered. Put all in a dark place, cover with a newspaper to exclude the air; let them remain thus over night; in the morning they will be as fresh as new, even to the glistening "dew drops"
 Roses and carnations respond better than other flowers treated in this man. ner, but so far there has not been found any way to freshen violets satisfactor- fly.
 It might not be amiss to add that wilted green vegetables, such as spin ach, lettuce and celery, are to be fresh ened by this same means, and may be kept for days, changing the water ev- cry morning, of course. However, we all know that the fresher all vegetables the better they are.

"%%NNNN~N~

The fine art of dressing Is to wear good clothes and be unmindful of them. To be able to be "unmindful," one must feel that all her clothes are in order and becoming. Then, and then only, can she forget her appearance entirely. One idea to be borne in mind in choos- ing a hat for the hot weather is that it shall be some protection to the face. It really is more sensible to keep what complexion you have than to have to bother with pastes and washes. The absurdly small and tilted hats worn early in the season are useless for pro- tecting the face. The sailor Is still a favorite and Is being made in lighter and daintier straws. While it con- tinues to be trimmed simply, with a band and bow, 1t Is brought up to date by bandeau covered with ribbon bows, worn in the back under the rim. A shade hat made of rustic, soft green straws, and trimmed with wild flowers, is most attractive.

acme of drearlness to another. A sum- mer hotel and unlimited white flannel make up the ideal of luxury that one vacationist aspires to, while his friend seeks regions where hotels and white fiannels are alike unknown. A fishing rod Is the symbol of earthly delight to one man and the rod of chastisement to another. while a golf stick may be an enchanter's wand or the scepter of the evil one. Women, too, differ wide ly In their standard of summer Joys. My idea of summer vacation" said one woman, lis to go where l shall never feel the touch of gloves, wells or hat pins" while her friend declared that to her an ideal summer meant an unlimited supply of these articles It Is well, as has been tritely observed, that people don't all think alike" else the hotel porches could not be made large enough, and there would not be enough white flannel and golf sticks to go around.

"Fakerso and "Fakfrs.o

"I notice that in all this talk and discussion recently stirred up by Presi dent Roosevelt concerning the writers of pseudo-nature stories there is some confusion as to the use of the words 'fakir' and faker'," said the man who Is fond of being exact. "One person writes nature fakir' and another nat ure faker,' as If faklr and faker were interchangeable and meant the same thing. Such Is not the case. The word fakir' Is of Eastern origin, and was originally applied 10 the Hindoo ascetic or mendcant. Then 1t was applied to the people who make their living by street entertainments, such as snake charming, tumbling, Juggling, and so on. Since many of these people were not always honest In their dealings with the public, gradually the word came to be applied to the street hawk CTS and booth-keepers who are engaged In gulling the public.
 But 'faker' Is simply a man who fakes, whether he Is telling a story, writing an article, or manufacturing a piece of goods. Hence In writing of the gentlemen who have been charged with devating from the truth In their nature narratives the proper term to use Is nature faker,' not "faklr.' .'"- Chicago Inter Ocean.
