The Abuse Of the Indoors.
Bliss Carman, in the Craftsman

Houses were made for shelter. not for
confinement; for freedom, not restraint
They were intended to enlarge our sphere
of activities, not to diminish them.
After food they are the first requisite
the first trace of himself which man i'm
poses upon the natural world, and the most
primitive and lasting evidence of the handi-
work which grows into all the arts Of all
the centuries.
They foster the family and make progress
possible, but We should not abuse their pro-
lection. We have crawled away into their
still and comfortable recesses, slept in their
dry, clean chambers, toasted ourselves over
their sheltered fires, read by their unficker-
ing lights and eaten from their bountiful
boards so long that we are grown pale, tim
Id, peevish and thankless withal.
We have kept ourselves away from the
wind and the sun and the lashing rain,
from the feel of the earth under foot and
the sense of the leaves and stars overhead
until we no longer know the keen and SIM
PIE joys of being alive. We have Set up
barriers against the inclemency of nature
and covered before her severe austerity un-
til now we have forgotten how indispensa-
BILE is all her kindly nurture. how tonic her
rugged ways how full of solace her assuag-
ing calm.
Houses were only made to live in when
it is too cold too hot or too wet to live
out of doors. Any other time out Of doors
Is best. To sleep out of doors for q month

The lake extends from the trestle on
the Princeton branch of the Pennsylvania
railroad, where 1t crosses the Delaware
and Raritan canal at the south end of
the Princeton campus, for a distance
northward of three and a half miles, td
the dam. This is about a quarter of r
mile south Of Kingston.
The lake is from 800 to 1000 feet wide,
bounded on the east by the Delaware and
Raritan canal, and on the north and west
oy picturesque woodland scenery.
Extending northward toward Kingston, q
large portion of the land necessary for tho
lake was donated by Edward Howe sra
the Princeton banker.
Thus it happens that Mr.. Cleveland now
has at his disposal for fishing purposes q
million and a half dollar lake, the gift
mainly of the Laird of Skibo.

Why the Latin Races Fail.
From the Paris Steele.


The Frenchman of the middle class sac

his children some official position or other,

aspect of the decay of the French race
1t is easy to understand that two races
are not evenly armed for the struggle for
life If one be made up OF aspirants to Of
fetal positions and the other of individuals
possessing initiative. daring and energy.
For this reason do Latin races decline, while
Anglo Saxon races grow and multiply.

justice to the Italian universities 1t must
be noted that the laxity above referred to
is only allowed in the course resulting in

which corresponds somewhat vaguely to

Course of Study.
The courses Of study which are offered
here are three in number-the commercial,
of three years; the normal. Of four and
five years, and the consular, Of five years.
In the first year the subjects studied by
the commercial and consular classes are
identical, and consist in Italian literature
and language, French, German and Eng
fish, economic geography, accounting, al
zebra, Introduction to the science of trade,
commercial institutions, civil-law institu-
tions and caligraphy, while the normal
class has exhaustive training In the
Italian language and literature and for
eign languages. In the second year the
commercial class continues the subjects of
the first year, less the study of commercial
institutions, but adding mercantile calcula-
ton, commercial and maritime law and the
practice of commerce. The consular class
has the same subjects of study the
commercial minus accounting, the practice
of commerce and caligraphy and plus civil
law. The normal class in this year is
divided into four sections, depending upon
the branches it's members preparing
themselves to teach, viz: Legal. economic
and statistical subjects, commercial science
accounting and foreign languages, with an
extraordinarily thorough curriculum for
each.
In the third year the commercial class
graduates, after continuing the studies of
the preceding year, less the course in COM
of commercial law, the history of commerce
and political economy. The consular class
adds the same subjects to the curriculum
of the second year. while the normal classes
continue in their respective branches. The
fourth year shows a program for the con-
sular class of three foreign languages, po-
litical history and the history of diplomacy,
civil and constitutional law,
criminal law and procedure, political econ
omy, finance and theoretical statistics.
The first division of the normal class has
all these subjects. less the foreign Ian
guages and plus the study of administrative
law, the second and the third division
graduate after courses in pedagogics, the
fourth division, that of foreign languages
continuing with foreign commercial corre-
spondence, practice in the correction of the
exercises Of the inferior classes, etc. The
