THE BOYS.

Where are they--the friends of my
childhood enchanted
The clear, laughing eyes looking
back in my own.
And the warm chubby fingers my
palms have so wanted,
AS when we raced over pink pastures
of clover,
And Knocked the quails whirr and
the bumble-bees drine?
Have the breezes of time blown their
blossoming faces
Forever adrift down the years that
have flown?
Am | never to see them romp back
to their places,
Where over the meadow in sunshine
and shadow.
The meadOw-lark trill, and the
the bumble-bee's drone?
Where are they? All! dim in the dust
lies the clover;
The whippoorwill's call as a sor
rowful tone.
And the doyes-I have wept at il
over and over
| want the glad luster of youth
and the cluster
OF faces asleep where the humble
bees drone.

it next goes through machines known
as 'calenders." The calenders are
equipped with peculiarly adapted
metal rolls arranged one above an
other in several tiers. Through these
the paper passes under pressure. The
paper comes from the machine in,
webs sometimes as great as l6oI
inches in width and often at a speed
of 500 feet per minute. The wide rolls
are next split in narrow ones and
rewound. The fine grades of paper
of course. require very high finish,
and this extra smoothness is given by
means of supercalenders, IN the su-
percalenders the rollers are alternate,
ly of iron and compressed paper
The machine which cut the rolls
of paper into sheets can be set for the
very many different sizes desired.
The sheets as cut are delivered by a
system of tapes onto tables which
stand about two and half feet high
A girl at each one of these tables
scrutinizes each sheet and her trained
eye quickly discovers a defect or
spot no matter how rapidly the ma
chimes are running. Each defective
sheet is thrown into a large box to
the left of each girl,
The paper which is to be ruled now
goes in the various sizes to an auto
matte machine equipped with fingers
which are little short Of being human
in their activities. The sheets are
placed in a pile at one end of the ma
chine within reach of the mechanical
fingers, which pick up one sheet at a
time with great rapidity and send 1t
on its way to little wheels the fine
edges of wElch act as pens in mark
ing the lines. As the sheets one
by one. come in contact with these
wheels, they are ruled on both sides
another set of circular pens from be
meath, working in unison with those
on top.
Where the writing paper is to be
folded into small double sheets, II
goes to still another machine which
makes the creases and folds with
great accuracy. Then in the shipping
rooms the scenes are varied Par
of the paper is put up in boxes. Par
is placed in packages and sealed, the
packer standing at a table beside {
small gas fire in which, at intervals
he holds stikc of sealing wax before
applying 1t to the cover of the pack
age. The larger packages are bool
paper which requires gloss and fin
ish much the same as writing paper.

Lions Like Railroads.

Lions of east Africa are becoming
greatly interested in railway opera
tons. The Urganda railroad has
thirty-nine small stations in the 5S4
miles between the Indian ocean and
Victoria Nyanza and in the last year
the animals have frequently visited
these lonely places, especially Slmba,
which has only a station building
with a water-tank and sidetrack. One
lion passed several successive nights
at the simba station walking about
scratching at the office door and
sleeping on the platform.

WORKING THEIR WAY.
over 100000 Earned by Students Of
Columbia In One Year.

oNe' plof,oVo Earned by students OF
Columbia In One Year.
That earning ones way through
college Is not practice confined to
our own university Is attested by the
following report from the east:
The earnings of students a Coum
bia independently and through the
committee on employment amounted
during the last fiscal ear to SlO4,-
240.39. In this figure ere included
the employment Of 2G4 students.
Since its establishment 10 years ago
the committee on employment has
steadily increased its activities. The
first report Of the committee showed
earnings Of 81, All for the year 1856
AS compared with the previous fiscal
year, the advance I'm 1866 IS shown
In the averages. For 1904-5 1888 stu,
dents reported tota' earning OF S92-
1920, and for the last fiscal year 3t3
students reported total earning OF
$lO4,24O.39, making an average for
each student Of s238.24 in the former
case, as against s333.04 in the latter
Computed on the basis of the total
number Of applicants the figures read
$l72.13 and $17942 for each applica-
ton In the respective years. Last
year the graduate schools contrbut-
ed principally to the number Of stu

the year before, or the 58I students

the year only 38 rerorted failures
While the independent earnings rep.
resent larger sum than the earn

the fact is not extraordinary. A good
