American Students in Germany.

Josiah Flynt, in Success Magazine.
In the early nineties 1t was easier Tor
foreigners to get into the Berlin University
than It Is now. Today. / am told, cerrit-
Gates and diplomas from other institutions
must be shown before the student can ma
circulate. In $780, my matriculating year.
all that was necessary to become enrolled
as a student in good standing was to have
a twenty-mark piece in ones pocket to pay
the naturalization fee, and perhaps fifty
marks more to pay for ones first semester's
lectures. Nothing was asked about ones
former studies or academic training. The
university was open to all male foreigners
over seventeen years of age. Germans had
to show gymnasium. or preparatory
school certificate, but foreigners were ac-
cepted on their face value.
l can hardly suppress smile now when
/ think of my entrance into this famous
university. To be sure, had the necessary
amount of money and had long since
passed the required age limit, but l am
afraid that a stock-taking of my other
qualifications would have left me Woe

Decorative Shrubs.

From the Home Magazine.
In locating shrubs do not make the mis-
take Of putting them between the house and
the street unless for the express purpose
Of shutting off an unsghtly thoroughfare.
A small lawn loses it's dignity when broken
I'D by trees. shrubs or flower beds. Leave
it to itself and 1t will impart sense OF
breadth and distance which Will make the
yard seem larger than 1t really Is. Planting
things all over 1t destroys this effect. The
best location. therefore. for shrubs on small
places is along the sides of the lot. or at
the rear of it. far enough beyond the dwell
ing to serve as a sort Of background for 1t.
Do not set your shrubs out after any for
NAL fashion-juSt SO far apart and In
straight rows-as so many persons do. For
mality should be avoided whenever possible.
You will find them most satisfactory when
grouped. That is, several planted SO close
together that when well developed they
form one mass of branches and foliage. OF
course. they shou not be crowded Give
each one ample space to develop In, but
have them near enough to each other 10
touch after a little. In grouping shrubs
where several kinds are planted together
one must be sure that he understands the
habits Of each. or results will be likely 10
be quite unsatisfactory. The larger-SroW-
ing sorts must be given the center or the
rear of the group. with smaller ones at SIDE
or front The season of towering ana the
popularity of branch and foliage should
also be given due consideration; Ihere
must be a harmony of general erect
Therefore study up on the shrubs you pro-
pose to make use of before you give them a
place in the yard. Also take look ahead.
The plant you set out Will be small, SO
small, indeed. that IL you leave eight or ten
feet of space beaween 1t and the next one
1t will look so lonesome that 1t excites you
to pity. and you may be induced to plant
another In the untitled space to keep 1t
company. But in doing this you will be
making q great mistake. Three or four
years from now the shrubs Will have run

American Women Again.

Lady Somerset. In Youths Companion.
/ have said that American women arc
more intimately the companions of men
than they are in this country. There is.
however, one notable exception. The Eng
lish woman takes an infinitely deeper and
more intelligent interest In politics than
does the American woman, for although
she may have allied herself to some reform
movement. may be a strong temperance
advocate. or a woman suffragist, there are
very few who really throw themselves with
keen interest into the wide political life or
their country. Few take any real part In
political campaign. or are Interested In civic
problems. The reason for this Is probably
to be found In the fact that the enormous
area traversed in political contest reduces
the immediate interest to some particular
state. whereas in England political ques-
tions affect the whole kingdom. This In
difference to politics holds to certain ex-
tent I'm religion also. The American woman
is not SO religious. to my mind. as her
English sister: that is to say, she has not
so disciplined a sense of her spiritual obli-
cations She is volatile; she will change
her creed easily. A new prophet or an eio-
ouent hereto has an infinitely better OPP
portunity to make converts than he could
have in England. 'a.-

round most of the time, talking about how
the seasons changing and how mucn
harder it rained this year than last
Then comes the spring-their spring. The
rains cease as II by magic. the earth sweats'
steams and dries growing things just fairly
leap from the earth and the jungle toik
feel good all over. 1t is their springtime,
you see. Not one Of them could tell you
even il it weren't beneath his dignity to
talk in the way we do-why he knows 1t Is
the spring. But he Just does.
Somehow or other the earth smells diff
ferent to the jungle folk when their spring
time comes around. They like the feel
of the warm sun on their blinking eyes;
they like to brush against the new fresh
green forest things and to breathe the
sweet clean air. And do you know that old
couplet, that oft-auoted little bit of posey?
In the spring a Ivllet iris shines upon the bur
nished dove
In the spring young mans fancy nightly turns 10
thoughts of love.
Goodness. gracious me. The jungle folks
knew all about that long before there were
any young men. 1t is one Of the bits OF the
ancient understanding that comes down to
them from the time they dwelt with the
gods when life was so much more simple
than now and there were no zoo places,
with rows of white-fioored. black-barred
cages and keeper-folk to push smelly meat
through a little bit of hole with long
stick.
Don't you believe that the jungle people
at the Zoo aren't thinking of all these things
lust now Because they are, you know, and
they might tell you If only you weren't so
stupid and could understand the jungle
talk But. though you can't do that. II
you have eyes you can see in just minute
or two after you've started visiting at the
Zoo that the folk have the spring fever.
There's my lord the elephant-he doesn't
like to be called by that silly, slang name
that the human people have given him. All
last week-in fact ever since the warm sun
first slanted through the door of his winter
quarters and made big bright spot on his
tough old hide-that elephant has been just

course. in a way you can't blame the poor
things. 1t must be dreadful to be compared
to some Of the human folk that they see
when the Zoo Is open to visitors. Then. be-
sides being shut UP that way all the time
would sour most any disposition.
But the other day they weren't talking
about Darwin. His name wasn'teven men
toned Spring was in the air and spring
was what they were talking about. They
are really quite human In that way. too.
and that's the reason most of the jungle
folk wont have anything to do with mon
keys They don't feel things way down
deep and do things quick and efficiently.
They talk. talk. talk. and that's all.
In the bird house 1t was the same The
doves were all whispering at once. and
from a little way OF 1t sounded just like

much prettier than the flute that the next
door neighbor plays on Sundays as he sits
in the backyard In his shirt sleeves at the
time when other people are trying to take
nap. Anybody listening to the doves even
moment would know they realized tho
spring had come and were longing to find
an opening-just the littlest kind OF an
opening in the wire-so that they and their
friends might fly away and not return I'M

get ragged and worn. against the stripped
trees and the tall pickets OF the wire in
closure. Why, it was enough to make
even the most energetic Of humans feel
lazy and comfy and good for nothing.
1t is quite worth while to visit the Zoo
Just now. The jungle folk may scorn you.

even thinking of eating. He was just lean

But goodness me, the king wasn't angry.
He was only restless and worried and just
