Advices from the west represent the grain growers and cattle raisers as be- ing especially hard hit on account of the currency famine. They are virtually de barred in many quarters from selling their products. Another incident bearing on this phase is the sudden cure of the evil Of freight congestion about which there is always urgent complaint at this season Of the year. The currency famine put quick step to the car famine. In one snort week the Union Pacific went from the extreme of no cars available to tooo idle cars and nothing doing.

ACUTE INDIGESTION IS
 TROUBLE WITH COUNTRY

tions are not followed instantaneously by joyful return of good feeling every where and complete return of entire good faith. That the presidential proclama- ton that the government stands ready to come to the relief of a distressed peo- pie should not in twinkling of an eye bring about an era of business serenity appears to be the occasion of astonish- ment and chagrin in political high life.
 That Wall street should shake its head on the receipts of news that the Pres ident had personally taken charge of the treasury relief measures and sighingly ejaculated "Oh, Lord, is 1t as bad as that" was most unexpected.
 There are those in the financial district so unkind as to remark that If stocks have been cut in two because of a mere threat that the politicians are going to take charge of business what can be ex- pected now that our strenuous President has taken it into his head to personally slosh around in an attempt to run the treasury of the United States?'
 And then again there is found an ex- cuse for further alarm and disquiet over what the President is going to say in his forthcoming message to Congress, due next week. There is all sorts of talk about the President modifying his views and softening his recommendations, but so far as can be learned he has not ma terially changed hls opinion and will urge upon Congress the need for governmental control of corporations along advanced lines. This being construed among frlend- ly quarters as a demand for virtual life and death authority over corporation af- fairs without ownership responsibility meaning the turning over of the man agement of s20,000 000,000 of property to the politicians, surely not prospect to attract investors.

The Presidents willingness to reopen the entire tariff question lr order to help out the newspapers which are demanding free wood pulp is also regarded as i threatening incident. Wall street hears, however, that Congress will not take seriously the White House recommenda- ton on this point knowing that 1t can not well act on one part of the tarin schedule without live danger of plunging into the entire subject of tariff revision, something which Congres leaders are dead set against.

The Difference Between the sexes In
This Innportant State.


One source of women's happiness is
to be found, we think, in their love of
detail. They enjoy every detail of So
cial life. They love the minutiae OF
their work. They do not love it as u
man loves his, for the sake of AN end
They look close at what they are do
ing, and they do not look forward
They take pleasure in their children
as they are. A defect. even though il
be a serious one, destroys their pleas
ure in them far less than it destroys
that of a man. They are not constant
ly oppressed by the thought of what
that defe.t will mean in the future
If woman is by nature apprehensive
her fears apply Tor the most part to
little things. IL a man is apprehensive
he fears when the fit is upon him the
debacle Of heaven and earth. For wo
men time goes a little slower. They
take pleasure in each jewel Of that
mosaic which makes up happiness and
are not fretted because the pattern is
not complete. OF this quality they
have, no doubt, the inevitable defects
much brilliance. little grasp and n
tendency to frivolity. They are apt to
fritter away their lives and minds Oh
little things. They become engrossed
with the details of play as well as the
details of work. Men no doubt have
more opportunities of keen pleasure
than women have, but these opportuni-
ties are short lived. The happiness of
the moment they are less fitted to take.
The difference between the sexes in
this particular might, we believe, be
thus summed up: A man is happy
whenever he has anything to make him
happy, but woman is happy when
ever she las nothing to make her IN
happy.-London Spectator.

The Science May Have Existed In
India Fer Long Ages.
Did we learn our rule of three and
our Euclid from India? Researches
have brought to light astronomical ia
bles in India which must have been
constructed by the principles of geom-
etry. Some are of the opinion that they
have been framed from observations
made not less than 5000 years before
the Christian era, and if this opinion
be well founded the science of geom-
etry must have been cultivated in In
dia to a considerable extent long be-
fore the period assigned to its origin in
the west, so that many of the elemen-
tary propositions may have been
brought from India to Greece.
The Indians have a treatise called the
'Surya Sidhanta,' which processes to
be a revelation from heaven communi-
Gated to Mega, man of great sanctity,
about 100000 years ago. This book
contains rational system of trigonom-
etry which differs entirely from the
first known in Greece and Arabia. In
fact, it is founded on a geometrical
theorem which was not known to the
geometricians of Europe before the
time of Victa, about 200 years ago.
And it employs methods of demonstra-
ton unknown to the Greeks, who used
others. The former have been attrib-
uted to the Arabs. but it is possible
they have received this Improvement
in trigonometry as well as the numer-
ical characters from India.-Chicago

AN UNOPENED PADDOCK.
Vienna's Strange Relic That Defed tho
Worlds Locksmiths.

sSOFiO
In 1910 a blacksmith went TO Vienna
and locked an iron band around a tree
with a paddock. What he did with the
key no one knows to this day. There
is a mirthful legend to the effect that
he carelessly threw it into the air and
that it never came down again. At
any rate, the key could not be found,
and the Austrian government offered
q prize of 500 ducats TO any one who
could make key that would turn the
bolt in the lock without breaking it.
Many have tried to win the prize,
but nobody has won it. Eventually 1t
became the practice among the con-
testants to drive nail in the tree and
the heads of some of the nails bear
the initials of those who drove them.
The practice of driving nails into the
tree sealed it's fate. The lower part Of
the tree in few years assumed the
appearance of a solid mass of iron.
One spring the leaves failed to cone
out, and later a summer storm blew
the top away.
The historic stump was cut of and
placed on pedestal on one of the
prominent street corners in Vienna.
At the same time the iron band was
cut in two and put around the stump
to hold it in its niche, leaving the pad
lock in its original position. And
there the old stump stands to this day
an object both of the curiosity of tour
lists and the veneration of the resi-
dents of Vienna. incidentally, a street,

National
State
Universities
By
President HADLEY
Of Yale.

HE history of our country In every department of national
life is a story of NTERACTIONS between the east
and the west. The history of collegiate education is no
exception to this general rule. Until the early part Of
the nineteenth century the work of higher education was
done bv a few colleges IN THE EAST. These were, with few
exceptions, secaran or narrow. The founding of state universities
introduced wider views. For more than half of the nineteenth CEN
fury the state universities of the west stood for a BROADER CON
CEPTION of university training than that which generally prevailed
in the east.
But in the last forty years the eastern universities have under
gone a great change. They have widened their conception of what
a college should do They differ from the western institutions not
70 much in the things they teach as in the CHARACTER N
TRADITIONS of the student body. Their constituency is national
and not local. Their associations are not with one OF two genera
tons alone, but with many. Amid the disintegrating tendencies Of
American life they form an overwhelmingly strong cohesive element.
them represent a distinctive feature in American life which is likely
to become MORE AND MORE IMPORTANT as time goes on.
These endowed universities of the east are NATIONAL. The
state universities of the west are by contrast LOCAL. I am un-
willing to say a single word which would appear IS a criticism of the
system of state universities. They are rendering magnificent services
to the country. Nevertheless if this tendency to localize learning
went to an extreme our teaching of science and literature would
lose half its benefit. We do not want the republic of letters to be
organized too sharply ON STATE LINES.
WE NEED TO HAVE PLACES WHERE THE BEST MEN FROM DIFF
FERENT PARTS OF THE COUNTRY CAN SEE EACH OTHER AND
KNOW EACH OTHER, CAN TOLL TOGETHER AND PLAY TOGETHER
AND CAN FORM A COHERENT PUBLIC SENTIMENT WHICH SHALL
PREVENT THE POSSIBILITY OF THAT DISRUPTION IN THOUGHT
WHICH ALONE CREATES THE DANGER OF POLITICAL osRuPr,oN.
