French University Students.
From Scribner's.

From ScriDnef g.
Whoever has had much to do with Amer
lean students must agree I think, that
their abundant energy is apt to exert itself
in other fields than those where they are
brought into professional contact with their
teachers. French students seem of differ
ent stripe. They are alertly intelligent
serious to a degree which shames you into
consciousness of comparative frvolity, in
tellectually energetic beyond reproach. but
somehow. when you have been habituated to
academic intercourse at home, they seem a
shade inhuman. One can soon see why. 1t
IS not that they lack humanity; in private
life they are said to maintain the convivial
tradition of ancestral France. But human
ity and work are separate things, and to
them university work is a really critical
matter. They are not playing through three
or four years which Will ripen them into
something sweeter than they might grow
to be without this happy interval between
the drudgery of school and the strife of
responsible existence: they are assiduously
preparing themselves for career Of intense
competition. Their spirit seems quite to
lack the amateurish grace so engagingly
chara cteristc of undergraduate li1e in
America; in contrast they seem intensely.
startlingly professionalism the best sense of
this abused term, no doubt 1t is not that
French students impress you as disposed to
trickery or subterfuge. 1t Is only that. In
their whole relation to university work,
they take for granted that they are occu-
pied, not In the acquisition of that vague
thing which we call culture" but in
very palpabe phase of the struggle for ex-
istence Their business, as students. IS to
inform themselves as widely and as accu-
rately as possible; and, above ALL to gather
their information in some comprehensive
and comprehensive system. That is why
they are at the university, and they are en-
rolled under the faculty of letters because
they aspire, in due time, to become men,

went, there is nothing at any French uni
yersity which takes the place of under

Strange Disease Among Bees.

There is every indication that bees will
soon be extinct in the Isle of Wight. A
strange disease has been spreading among
them for the past three years. 1t assumes
the form OF kind Of paralysis, and up TO
the present all efforts to combat the NAL
ady have been useless, says Home Chat.

disease was due to the food on which the
bees lived but although a special diet Of
cane sugar syrup has been tried the bees
continue to succumb Specimens of dis

says that IN his opinion the bees will be
