sure that the old spirit of the college can be completely revived. It sees, for example in the dormitories which are in part built for the accommodation of those whose parents are able to pay the cost of lodging, the original depar- ture from the conditions which in the days of the old Brick Row made the democratic spirit inevitable. It says: "The mere fact that dormitories have been erected with the avowed purpose of providing especially comfortable quarters for those who can afford to pay for them has put an obstacle in the way of keeping up quite the old spirit. and the presence of many sons of men who are prominent merely be- cause they have obtained much money makes another adverse condition. It needs no explanation to show how this influence must grow out of such cldHSeS anu OlneIS'
 Both of these points are well taken if it can longer be said that the dis cussion of the Yale democratic spirit Is worth dwelling on. The introduction of the private automobile, like the in- troduction of the private horse, has dietrrbad +bo ein,p1io;+,r of ,,rdarCro d uate life. The abandonment of uni form style of architecture, of which the Times complains, further disturbs the situation, and yet however regret table these introductions may be, they have not succeeded in killing. the spirit upon which so much depends, at least in the imagination of Yale men. There is decided spirit of democracy left in the undergraduate life of Yale and 1t ought to grow, in spite of the obstacles put in it's way by foolish parents who themselves know little of the dangers of 8 big income for college boys, be- cause as the numbers increase the powers of resistance increase. A care full study of the statistics will show that the graduating classes this year were officered by the democrats among the students. Those who care nothing for democratic conditions of life were among the spectators of their fellows success in management

4 GERMAN WRINKLE.

What with mad dog scares and oth- CT disturbances owners of good dogs in this region have had troublous times lately, but since the Igorrotes were around here they haven't had to fear that their pets would be stolen and eaten. It is different In Ger many where dog-fiesh seems to be al- most as popular an article of food as 1t is among the Igorrotes or the Chin ese. It is advertised very generally In the German newspapers, just as beef, ham and other meats are adver- tised as one of the staple products. Most German cities have at least one market which makes 1t a speciality, claiming for it higher percentage of nourishment than that of either beef, veal, mutton or pork. Neither is 1t unusual to find advertisements of dog meat or for the purchase of dogs for slaughter. News items detailing the arrest, trial, conviction and punish ment by fine or imprisonment of men charged with killing and eating dogs that belonged to others, sometimes valuable animals or cherished house. hold pets, are not infrequent. Quite recently such an item told how the po- lice at Cassel, city of Hesse-N Nassau, while searching for a lost dog for whose recovery reward was offered, located private dog slaughterhouse and arrested four men who were ap- parently making regular business of stealing and killing dogs. Several live dogs, several freshly slaughtered car- casses and evidences of the slaughter of dozens of other dogs were found on the premises.
 Thus in civilized and scientific Ger many But shall we in this favored country ever be hungry enough?

How TO BE WE'LL THOUGH POO R

HOW TO BE WELL THOUGH POOR
 When Solomon said, "The destruction of the poor is their poverty" and when Bernard Shaw said that poverty is what ails the poor, they said wisely, and yet, it appears, the evils that go with poverty can be much mitigated by proper management. If poor women who have to work too hard will fol- low the advice given one of them by health department editor they will feel better. This is it: Too much work is as bad as too much play. Frivolous matters become as serious as serious ones, especially when merry making Is ones only occupation. Get saddle horse and get out in the parks every day. Or, make it practice to take a fine long charming walk every morning. Play tennis, as you can in the parks, or learn to play golf. when you come in from your fun, get into the tub and take salt rub and a cold bath. After that, a nice little nap Is in order and when dinner time and the husband ar- rives you will be as fresh and sweet as a daffodil in spring time.
 This would probably right up many a poor woman who is suffering. And there is simple rule that poor men and poor women too can get benefit from. They should never hurry or wor- ry when they eat, they should laugh while they eat, and they should take time to digest what they eat, It is pret- ty easy to keep we'll if you know how.

NOT QUITE ENOUGH.

Glory enough Tuesday, glory enough Thursday, but not quite enough Friday. Yale didn't take all the cake at New London yesterday. She won in the four cared contest and allowed-largely be- cause she had to-Harvard to win the Freshman race. So Harvard need not be entirely discouraged and Yale can continue to be highly encouraged.
 A pretty good week for Yale so far She has conquered the recalcitrant weather and brought the good old Com- mencement heat around on time. She has conquered her old and friendly foe both on land and water, with the some- what melancholy exception above not ed. There is one more chance for vic- tory to roost in her accustomed place Let her so roost to-day, and her slight and temporary divagation will be for given,

JUDICIAL HUM0R,

Mark Twain is in England, but the United States isn't suffering from lack of humor. For instance, a Chicago judge passing on a divorce suit in which Pittsburg millionaire was named as correspondent, said: 'Tt is customary to have a corroboratlve wit ness, but where Pittsburg millionaire or a scion of one of those families is mentioned in a divorce case I believe it is the proper belief that it is suf- flcient to convince the court that a decree should be given. Write up the evidence and I will grant the decree"
 Good enough. Almost as good as the humor of police court judges who are fond of telling some Weary Wag- gles that they will give him chance to rest--"T Thirty days."

TALE DEMOCRACY.

The automobile accident this week which resulted in the death of a junior in college is being not unreasonably made the text for sermons on the sub- 1ect of Yale democracy. The presence here of private automobile owned by student in the college is dwelt upon as in itself so improper a possession as to almost warrant the fatal misuse of 1t. It Is the old theory that what in- terferes with the democratic atmos- phere of the university makes for the same unfortunate ends that like con- ditions make for in the outside world
 The Springfield Republican, which is a fearless and intelligent student of such things, suggests that revival of the democratic spirit must come through an appeal to students from students It says: off rich men choose to provide theii sons with machines, it is difficult to see how 1t can be stop ped, unless in a measure by an asser- tion of the student spirit against the automobile as an undemocratic play thing. At the traditional ceremony a few days ago of turning the famous Yale fence over to the freshman class to sit upon; the sophomore orator, in telling the freshmen what the fence typitied, dared to add that it did not mean any, thing so undemocratic as an automo- bile club. The assertion of such spirit as that is probably the only way in which to meet the automobiles menace to student lives and student dem ocracy."
 The Hartford Times which is also in closer touch with the life of Yale than would be expected under all of the cir cumstances, admits that there is force In this suggestion, but it is not quite

In case you insist on making the race next year he will go with you even If you go to that very hot place with the very short name. But why should either of us take any risks, dear Billy boy, Billy?

THE Wom4N INspBc4oR.

It has been impossible to fathom the motives of those who oppose the selec- ton of woman factory inspector by a board of women appointed by the gov- ern0r. For weeks the idea was advocat- ed by all concerned, including the fac tory inspector himself. Now the senate clings to its favorable action and the house dissents upon the ground that sober second thought suggests that it would be better for the factory inspec- tor to appoint. He, too, has come to that way of thinking
 It would be enlightening if someone would take time to tell what the com ponent parts are of this second, sober thought. It recalls to our mind an in cident in the life of the constitutional convention. It had been formally pro- posed that the constitution provide for the election of county commissioners by the people. The debate disclosed the fact that no one was seriously op- posed to the proposition while those who favored it were masters of their situation and of the arguments which led up to it. It would have passed then and there had there been a quorum present. As it was it was postponed for consideration the week following. The sober, second thought which was then put into motion by the commissioners of the eight counties was sufficient to tear the resolution limb from limb.
 It may be on the whole mean sus- pieion but it presses itself forward that the influence was the same in each case, a political influence. It is a pity that what the women have fought for with such winning intelligence should for a moment have come under contro- versy. They have from the first de- served to be entrusted with the respon- sibility for selecting the woman inspec- tor with the advice of the inspector himself.

KANSAS, WHEAT FEsT1YA1.

If any able-bodied man who hasn't any other place he wants to go to just now doesn't go to Kansas he will, ac- cording to the invitations that have been sent out from there, miss 1t. What they call the annual wheat festival is in progress in Kansas, and those who own the wheat want twenty thousand workers to attend and take part in the festival. Wages. if 1t is right to mem ton such sordid matter in connection with festival, range from $2 to $4 a day, with board and lodging, but the wages are nothing. The opportunity to exercise gently in the sunny harvest field, with laughter and song to make the happy hours short is one of the things that are something. One of the other things is thus set forth by the Kansas City Journal, which, of course wants to see the wheat safely cut and slowed: There is also the glorious op- portunity to capture the heart of the fair daughter of some rich Kansas farmer, and to ride in the naughty plu- tocrat's automobile through never-end- Ing fields of prosperity ever after, while the old man does the chores and by practiclng rigid economy adds new flg- ures to his bulging bank account.
 The young men who have just grad uated were told that the world was in need of them and their work. This call from Kansas proves 1t.

ASPIRATION.

That Is a queer use of word which the Galveston News makes. Speaking of the fact that some of Mir Bryan's friends are not showing spirit of tol- erance it says: It is getting so that no Democrat can aspire to be his party's nominee without being suspected of having become party to a conspiracy against the Nebraskan. There ought to be no such bigotry or fanaticism In the Democratic party. If majority of the Democrats prefer MT. Bryan, he ought to be the nominee; but other Demo- crats ought certainly to be allowed to aspire to that honor without incurring the suspicion of dishonesty and trea- son.
 Aspire" means to seek to attain high or great. Is that ap- plicable to the wish to lead the Demo- cratic party next year? Is there going to be anything high or great about the Democratic performance?

In Iceland on certain islands near Ryckavik, the elder duck is raised in a systematic manner. It is really more of g small goose than duck, being so independent of fish and animal food as to be able to support itself by graz ing on the seaweed at the bottom of the sea, at considerable depth. It Is splendid diver, being as much at home under the water as on the sur face. The great value of the cider ducks down is well known, and, ow- ing to the birds tendency to pull out such large quantities for lining its nest that it leaves its lower breast almost bare when it is setting, there is no diff ficulty in getting good supply of these feathers without destroying the birds. In Iceland it is strictly guard ed against intrusion.
