Will Sail Next Week for Cruise Along
the Coast.
SAN DIEGO, CAL, April 4.-Ac-
cording to reports from Magdalena
bay, the battleship fleet will complete
its practice today, and late next week
will sail northward for its triumphant
cruise along the California coast.
This city will probably be reached a
week from tomorrow, and a great
demonstration will be held in honor
of the officers and sailors. Later
stops will be made at the ports near
Los Angeles and at Santa Barbara
and Santa Cruz. While the greatest
enthusiasm will mark the visits of
the ships at the southern California
cities, the long cruise will have its
fitting elimination at San Francisco
early in May, when what it is de-
clared will be the greatest naval dis
play in the history of the nation will
take place.

CARNEGIE ADDS Is, OoO, 900
Fixes Fund for Professors Of State
Universities,

Universities,
NEW YORK. April Announce
ment was made this morning that
Andrew Carnegie would add $4,000
600 TO the fund OF the Carnegie foun-
dalton, or whatever sum might be
necessary to include as pension bene-
ficiaries eligible professors Of state
universities.
No provision was made for this
class of educators in the original gift
for the reason, stated by Mr.. Carne-
gle at the time, that the donor
thought it possible that such insti-
buttons might prefer that their rela-
lions should continue exclusively
with the state from which their chief
support was received.
This view was not taken by the
National Association of State Univer-
stiles, which in the year following the
establishment of the foundation petit
toned the trustees for admittance to
the benefits Of the retiring allowance

earnings of the original fund of $1O,-
900. 900 were exhausted through the
outlay already planned and that If
the faculties of all state universities
were to be benefited an additional
100000 would be required.
The situation was placed formally
before Mr.. Carnegie by DIR. Henry S.
Pritchett, president of the Carnegie
Foundation for the Advancement of
Teaching, on March 81 last, and on
that same day Mr.. Carnegie replied
that the money would be forthcom-
ing for any state institution whose
application received the approval of
the legislature and governor of it's
state. The additional donation will
be in per cent bonds providing an
additional annual increment of a
quarter of a million dollars and a
total for yearly disbursements of
$75O.O00.

We are prone to crltlclse the
United States senate as being the
aristocratie and plutocratle branch OF
congress. but when Il comes down TO
the genuine article In pure and UNI
adulterated plutocracy, the speaker
of the house holds the diploma. His
rule Is not only autocratIe. but Il Is
despotie. He rules the lower house
TO suit his own will. and 50 far as
legislation Is concerned no member
can expect even hearing for q meas
ure he may introduce without first
obtaining the consent OF the speaker.
No such absOlutism prevails in the
senate, even though IL may be COM
posed OF many miliionaIres and trust
magnates. II Is more democratic
than the house.

ONLY a Broken Knife-Point.

Once a ship was wrecked on the
Irish coast. The captain was a care
full one. Nor had the weather been
of so severe a kind as to explain the
wide distance to which the vessel had
swerved from her proper course. the
ship went down, but so much or IN
terest attached to the disaster that q
diving-bell was sunk. Among other
portions of the vessel which were ex'
amined was the compass, which was
swung on deck; and inside the com.
pass box was detected a bit of steel,
which appeared to be the small point
of a pocket knife blade.
It appeared that the day before the
wreck a sailor had been sent to clean
the compass, had used his knife ID
the process, and had unconsciously
broken off the point, and left it re.
naming ia the box. That bit OF
knife-blade exerted its influence on
the compass, and to a degree which
DETECTED the needle from its proper
bent, and vitiated it as an index OF
the ships direction. That bit OF
wrecked the vessel.
Even one trifing sin, as small as a
broken knife-point, as it were, is able
to rob a soul of peace and happiness.

The Change.

"Mv life is hemmed in by things l
cannot change, you see," SAID a glrl,
explaining her depression OF spirits
to an older friend. She had been
talking about the ugly little town
where she lived, and how little money
she had to spend, and how there were
no concerts or lectures or chances
for culture, how monotonous ana mar
row things were week after week,
how her health was not strong, ana
there was no special thing sne coulo
do in the world. 1t did sound rather
homeless, and the older woman was
silent a moment. Then she saldi
thoughtfully:
mo; you cannot change these cor.
ditions Of your life at present. But
there is one thing, Marjory, that you
can change, and it will make every
thing absolutely different" -.
But what can I change? I don't
understand" cried Marjory.
"You can change your point OF
view" returned her friend. "Ihat 8
all. But it's everything"
The girl thought it an unsympa.
thetic answer. She went home still
thinking so. But it stuck in her nina
nevertheless; for she was an intelll-
gent girl. y
at is the only change I can make"
she said to herself, and she tried 1t.
Her point Of view had been from
herself-from what she wanted to DO,
and have in the world, but could not.
She faced round to the point of view
that God had put her where she was,
had prepared blessings for her If she
would recognize them, and had given
her opportunities for unselfish useful.
ness to others in her daily life.
From that moment her life was a
study in MISREPRESENTATION dis
content to cheerfulness, from languor
to activity, from a lack of interest IN
life to a fullness of loving sacrifice.

wrote her friend, a, year later. Only

Life Not a Holiday.

Sooner or later we find out that
life is not a holiday, but a discipline.
Earlier or later we will discover that
the world is not a playground. 1t is
quite clear that God means it for a
school. The moment we forget that,
the puzzle of life begins. W. try to
play in school. The Master does not
mind that so much for its own sake,
for He likes to see His children
happy; but in our playing we neglect
our lessons. We do not see how
much there is to learn, and we do not
care.
But our Master cares. He has a
perfectly overwhelming and inexpli-
cable solicitude for our education;
and because He loves us He comes
into the school sometimes and speaks
to us. He may speak very softly and
gently or very loudly.
But one thing we may be sure OF:
The task He sets III to is never meas
ured by our delinquency. 1t is meas
ured by Gods solicitude for Jul pro-
gress: measured solely by Gods love;
measured solely that the scholar may
be better educated when he arrives at
his Fathers home.-Henry Drum

Richest Family in Europe.

It is not generally known hat n
Imperial family Of Russia is the
richest royal family in Europe, and
derives it's vast wealth from three
sources-the State treasury, the i'm
perial domains formerly church
tands), and the so-called cabinet
properties" A writer in Harper's
Weekly gives some interesting facts.
The State treasury provides for the
CzHr as the sovereign; the imperial
domains are the joint property of the
members of the House Of Romanof,
but administered by the head of the
house; and the cabinet properties
are the personal property of the
reigning sovereign as such.
The State treasury pays out
$4,000 per annum for the needs
of the imperial house, principally for
the maintenance Of the palaces and
the officials and servants attached to
them. The reigning empress, for ex-
ample, has an allowance of 100000
pei year, and the dowager empress
the same. Every child born to the
Car receives from birth to the age
of twenty-one nearly $4,000 a year,
while the heir to the throne receives
annually, in addition to the mainte-
nance of palaces, $4,000. Daugh-
ters receive a dowry of n million
roubles when they marry. The fig
ures under this head are comparative
ly modest, and-the total expenditure
charged to the State treasury Is less
than one per cent. Of the annual
budget.
