PEGGiNG AWAY.

Men seldom mount at single bound
To the ladders very top;
They must slowly climb it, round by round,
With many a start and stop.
And the winner is sure to be the man
Who labors day by day;
For the world has found that the safest
plan
Is to keep on pegging away.
You have read, of course. about the hare
And the tortoise-the tale is old
How they ran the race-it counts not
where
And the tortoise won we're told.
The hare was sure he had time to pause
And to browse about and play;
So the tortoise won the race because
he Just kept pegging away.

The nominal salary of the President

less than four millions sterling AS a
matter of fact, a presidential election
in America costs anything from five
to seven millions, and it takes place
every four years. On that calculation
the President costs on the average a
million and a half a year. If we only

COLLEGE GIRLS EXPENSES.

College education can hardly be es-
timated as coming under any fixed
cost, for each individual case varies,
not only as depending upon the girl
herself, but even more upon the
standards to which she has been ac-
customed at home. One of the We'll
lesley alumnae, however, has recent
ly gathered statistics regarding the
expenditure of the average student,
which show some interesting facts as
we'll as college tendencies.
Nowadays college education is fast
becoming popular, and is sought al
most as much by the sons and daugh-
tiers of the rich as by those of the
ambitious poor. The younger genera
ton of Americans in the well-to-do
homes are being brought up at no
small expense, so that a comparison
of the sisters and cousins who are not
being sent to college is necessary in
order to judge fairly the expense ac-
counts of the college girls. The very
large increase in the amount spent at
Wellesley to-day over what was spent
twenty years ago must be noted COM
paratively also. Everything costs
more in terms of money now than it
did then. American families of very
ordinary means now have fresh fruit
on the table the year around and have
warm water in their bathrooms all
the week. So the college must do
likewise. A Sunday dress, a mackin-
tosh and a bathrobe in addition to an
everyday gown-which rumor saws
was the conventional wardrobe at
Wellesley in IST5-wouId he ;,,St -
sufficient at this college to-day as it
would be in any town in the country
where girl must do work outside her
own home. The college standards re-
fleet the home standards. There is
some reaction, to be sure, but college
standards influence home standards in
the matter of expenditure less than in
any other way
