Cosmopolitan University.

Statistics of the University of Penn
sylvania show that it has the most
cosmopolitan student body in its his
tory. 1t has drawn more than 1900
students from places other than with
in the borders of Pennsylvania; of
these ESQ are from foreign countries.
of which sixty-two are from British
territories; forty-seven from Europe,
thirty-three from China and Japan,
fifteen from the foreign possessions
of the United States, and ninety
eight from Latin American countries.
The Latin Americans come from
twenty-one countries and represent
at least sixty different towns.

One hopeful sign in our own coun-
try, to the Omaha Bee, is that the fu-
ture evolution Of the navy promises
to be along lines that may make fo1
economy. The strategists having
doomed the light cruisers and other
auxiliary vessels, the navy promises
to be confined to two classes, the bat,
tleships and the destroyers. Simpli-
fed batteries are promised for the
dreadnoughts, and inasmuch as the
naval battles of the future are likely
to be confined largely to long range
fighting, it is probable that fewer
warships will be needed, and that no
exhaustive addition to our present
program need be made. AS far as
our country is concerned, it must
maintain navy sufficient to operate
if need be against any hostile power
in either ocean, so that we have di.
rect interest in every proposal to fix
a limit for European fleets.

The effect of the new Canadian law
or cigarette smoking by boys is
shown in the trade returns, declares
the New York Tribune. Although
370,000,o00 cigarettes were smoked
in Canada since the first of the year,
most of them being made in the Do
minion, the number shows decline
of 100000 on the figures for the
preceding twelve months The re-
suits are more striking when it is re-
membered that the law was in force
for only eight months of the year 1t

or cigarette material to boys of six
teen or less under penalties of from
$40 to $500.

The new naval base at Pearl Har-
Dor, Hawaii, is to be made compile
mentary to the fortress on Diamond
Head, at the entrance to the harbor,
and which guards the city of Homo
lulu. Hawaii, observes the Ports
mouth (Va.) Star, has the advantage
over the Philippines as naval base
of being nearer home, and warships
that use Pearl Harbor as a base of
warlike operations can get to the Pa
cific coast for coal in short time in
case that becomes necessary. Be
sides, it is almost impossible for ar
army Of invasion to land at any other
place on the island. No estimate for

Tie automobile has opened up the
back country to thousands Of people
who heretofore have travelled only by
rail and have seen nothing except
what the car-window offers. That is
neager enough, insists the Hartford
Courant, and is even less informing
than it otherwise would be from the
fact that town after town that the
train whizzes through gives no sign
of what it is. You can read in big
letters the names of favorite beers
and WHISTLES and of many business
firms, but only now and then is there
any thing bearing the name of the
town itself You can rush through
many places and not see one such
sign there. The automobilists find
the same trouble in going across
country when they strike postotfices
They come upon settlement and at
the central store they find the sign
"Postofice" and that is all they do
find There is nothing whatever to
indicate or suggest what postoffice it
may be. The postonice department
requires that the sign ''Postoffice" be
put outside of the offices. but hither-
to it has not ordered that the name
should be there, too. The issuing OF
Such an order would prove most salts

number OF places the postmasters

voluntarily put the signs out. but this
should be the rule and not the ex-
eeption.

Blouse or Guiinpe.

Such plain blouse or guimpe as
this one can be made available in
many ways. 1t can be made from all
over lace as in this case, it can be
made from plain material braided or
embroidered, it can be made from
one of the new jetted nets or mate
rails of the sort, and it can be worn
as a blouse or as a. guimpe. Utilized
in this last way it is singularly well
adapted to wear beneath the new chif-
fon over blouses and will be pretty

Side Seams on coats.

The idea of running bias seam
across the coat from the collarbone
under the rever to the hem back of
the knees is growing in favor. 1t was
claimed to be fad that would not
probably last into the latest suits, but
it is still popular, and gives quite a
decided air to a long coat. 1t is a
marked seam, because it is done in
the French fashion.

Ready-Made Blouse.

One may pay high price for the
ready-made blouse il one is willing to
do it, There are chic imported mod
els replete with original details and
bearing an Enthusiastically Partisan

but such a blouse if made to order by
a dressmaker capable Of producing
such work would cost as much or
more than the ready-made model and
mean more trouble and time.

Bridget had been in America only a few months, but she believed in the principle Of pretending to know what she ought to know. She had been en- gagged as laundry girl in a small family of well to do people. When asked if she understood all the details of her work. she unhesitatingly repliSd ..>s+ .d> Sure do, ma'am."
 Her mistress was not quite satisfied, however, and while she was busy with her first washing looked in upon her. Bridget seemed to be doing all right, and she left without offering sugges- tiOns. i;
 Next morning the ironing was in or der, and Bridget was hard at it when her mistress looked in, to say, "As you get the clothes ironed, just throw them over the horse." . >=-
 "All right, ma'am," the busy laundry girl replied without stopping to raise her eyes from her work in hand.
 The laundry room was located in an Outhouse adjoining the barn, and occa- sionally the neighing of the family horse and the merry voice of Bridget resounded throughout the house.
 Returning to the laundry house a couple of hours later, the lady could scarcely believe her eyes nor restrain her mfrth when she beheld the fam fly horse, standing patiently beside Bridget, loaded down with newly irOned sheets, pillowcases, tablecloths and lace trimmed waists and skirts.
