tion of the household affairs.
Every housekeeper should keep an
account, Many women do not have
five cents they can call their own;
while many man has been ruined by
allowing his wife to have full control
of the money know there is blame
on both sides
Housekecpers should know something
of housok ccping before they enter the
business of making home. II you
can do your work little bit better
than someone else, that work is always
a source of delight to you. and 1t mat
ters not what the work is. Every

some of the problems of housekeeping.
We cannot all be great singers. or

source of more or less pleasure, and

fine joke on Judge Taft. He had told
them that the question for the voters
to determine was whether they wanted
to continue q party of action in power
or place at the head of the government
a party which had done nothing but make
misleading prophecies regarding economic
questions.
I'VE don't want TO try it, said a some
what elderly woman in the audience.
Il hope not. madam. l have no doubt
that you are the head of family Of
sturdy men, whom you control. and rely
on such intelligent ladies as you to carry
out your views" was Judge Taft's smil-
ing rejOinder.
When the train had started Judge Taft
was informed by one of the local states
men aboard that it was Miss Sylvia
Townsend with whom he had had the
cOlloquy.

EDINBURGH. September 23-The in
fluence of the University of Edinburgh
upon learning and culture everywhere has
been incalculable. 1t has often been
called IAN intellectual workhouse." No
great institution perhaps has been so de-
void OF social pleasu athletic sports and
other diversions which students elsewhere
utilize to counteract mental fatigue, but
1t has produced a multitude Of men emf
nent In scholarship. medicine, jurispru-
dence and theology and sent them to
every part of the world, carrying with
them that solid, thorough, conscientious
sense of intellectual accuracy and power
that no other institution has exemplified
so completely.
An Intellectual Workhouse.
1t is a cold. ugly, dreary building OF
great size in the business section Of old
Edinburgh. and stands partially upon the
site of the house in which Lord Darnley,
the weak-minded and mischievous hus-
band of Mary Stuart. was assassinated. as
many believe to relieve her OF his tire
some attentions. There is nothing at
tractive about the university. 1t looks
like an intellectual wOrkhouse." A
laugh is seldom heard about the quad, ~
song, never, and smile is rarely seen
There is no ivy on the walls. You can
not see green thing without going to the
top of the tower, and then the nearest
flower or foliage is blocks away. 1t Is
surrounded by tall business houses In
every direction, and they are of the in
ferior class. The facade Of the building
is of noble proportions and artistic design
with Grecian portico, supported by six
massive Doric pillars and three broad
wide entrance gates over which rises a
stately dome, surmounted by the figure
of youth carrying the torch Of knowl-
ege." But the street is so narrow that
no passerby observes all this unless his
attention is called directly to it and he
throws his chin into the air.
The building is large, 358 feet long BY
