contempt for the morals of the aver
age Wall Street man.

Il once hired an Grand boy who,

to the street. There he should be do

ATTEND ASSEMBLY.

The average studnet does not rea-
ize the Importance OF regularly at
tending assembly He fails 10 aDpre-
ciate the fact that the most prcmin ant
and entertaining speakers of the
country have been provided for his
special benefit, and that he is only
cheating himself whenever he misses
hearing one of them. The greatest
lecturer cannot do his best EXCEPT
When he has IA large and attentive
audience. To be sure. university audi
dienceS are attentive enough. but the
problem is to get large enough audi
ences. The student must get the
habit Of going to assembly and of
concentrating his thoughts on the
words CT the speakers. If he does
this, he Will learn something OF value
and interest. To neglect this side
CT university life, is to neglect an i'm

lAURELS TOO LATE.

One Of the sad defects OF cur civi
lization is the failure to note and ap
preciate merit at the proper time. II
is not until after the crater and ths
poet have passed away that men are
ready to recognize the true value
OF their work and stand in reverence
at the sound Of their names. Why
should one not learn to know the
value OF man while he lives? Why
not praise and cheer him on as he
struggles fer the benefit of humanity ?
John RuslEin says that the purest
and best rewards are kept from
the struggling youth, and instead he
is fed with ashes and Gishonor, and
that finally the laurel crown is
brought all too late If there is rev
erence AID respect for someone, let
it be shown while he may appreciate
it. The costly monument, the songs
OF praise and acciamation after
death are but meaningless symbols.

The First Sleeping Car.

he first real sleeping car was built in
1864. 1t was called the Pioneer" and
the builder further designated it by the
letter A not dreaming that he would
soon exhaust the letters of the alpha-
bet. The Pioneer was built in a
Chicago and Alton shop and cost the al
most fabulous sum of $4,000. That
was reckless extravaganza in year
when the best of railroad coaches could
be built at a cost not exceeding 81 800.
But the Pioneer" was blazing new
path in luxury. Without it was ra-
diant in paint and varnish in CAV
stripes and lettering: it was giant
compared with its fellows. for it was a
foot wider and two feet and a half
higher than any car ever built before.
1t had the hinged berths that are the
distinctive feature of the American
sleeping car today, and the porter and
the passengers no longer had to drag
the bedding from closets at the far
end of the car
lhe Pioneer was not only wider
and higher than other passenger cars.
but it was also wider and higher than
the clearances OF station platforms AMI
overhead bridges. But when the news
came of the death of President Lincoln.
the fame of Pullman's Pioneer was
already widespread, and it was suggest
ed that the new car should be the FIJI
neral coach of the martyred President.
This involved cutting wider clcarances
all the way from Washington by way
of Philadelphia. New York. and AL |
bany, to Springfield, ILL.,, and gangs of
men worked night and day to make
the needed changes.-Outing NIaga-

1t would appear that nowadays the
education of children at the Russian
court is not so severe as 1t was in
the earlier part of last century. The
regime under which Alexander II. was
ly stringent. II simple.
Brayley Hodgetts has summarized
the young Alexander's days work as
follows:
4AC oAA hio SoiAA auCs, SiCi6ol ohi
and Patkul, had to get up at six, and.
after prayers and breakfast. began
their lessons at seven. These were
continued till noon. with an interval
between nine and ten for recreation.
After two hours walk they had
dinner at two. after which they played
or rested until five. when lessons
were reaumed until seven. then thew
were allowed to play or do gymnastics
for an hour. At eight supper was
served The evening was devoted to
a review of the days achievements
and to posting the diary. At ten they
went to bed.
"On Sundays and holidays the hours
devoted to lessons were taken up
partly with improving reading. partly
with some handicraft and gymnastics.
Notwithstanding the ability ex.
hibited by Alexander. 1t seems that
he was wanting in steady application.
He was brilliant, but no plodder. In
order to make him work Capt. Moer.
der hit upon an ingenious plan. He
started a poor box. to which the chill.
dren were not allowed to contribute
unless they had earned the right to
confer benefits on others by having
worked assiduously themselves. And

sTARcHlNe AS A FINE ART.
Experience and Care Required II Fin
iahsd Collars and Cuffs Are to
Look Their Best.

Even the good laundress sometimes
has trouble in making her collars and
cuffs exactly right. 1t Is, indeed.
fine art to starch we'll, and 1t needs
much experience. Potato starch %
said to be the finest Of all starches,
and to make the very best finish on
shirt fronts and collars. while for
those who like glazed linen a little
turpentine added to the starch will
make a gloss to vie with the mirror.
Starching is an art brought from
Holland by the wife of good Queen
Bess' coachman, and 1t has lost rather
than gained during the century or so
that 1t has been in use among Eng
disappearing races.
