S1,00 A YEAR IN ADVANCE.
PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

The only cure for old age is to die
young.
The truth that lies at the bottom
OF the well is apt to stay there.
The woman who marries a widower
loses all the fun of tanning him.
Money talks in spite of the fact that
lots of men want to keep it quiet.
Many a woman who married In,
haste is spending her alimony at leis-
ure.
The poet who feels that he has a
message for the word should send IL
collect.
1t isn't to be wondered at that the
Lord loveth a cheerful giver. Who
doesn't?
Even taking time by the forelock
won't enable you to catch up with to-
morrow.
An old bachelor is always to be
piuied. He has no wife to blame
things on.
He who never had any disappoint-
ments is in no position to appreciate
good luck.
From married mans point of view
one of the greatest paradoxes is
bachelor who has to take a rest cure.
When a woman marbles a man TO
reform him and succeeds, she feels
that she has no more worlds to con-
quer.
When we occasionally do meet a
man whose head hasn't been turned
by success, we naturally conclude that
he has a stiff neck.
Those who claim that a woman
isn't so apt to indulge in crooked
work as man evidently never saw a
woman try to drive a nail.
The careful housewife doesn't mind
her husband leaving footprints in the
sands of time. provided he doesn't
track any in the house.-From Mus
ings of the Gentle Cynic," in the New
York Times.

and his assistants. The store was q
small one and he could hope to pick
up but little transient trade. Most of
the buyers were his friends and fellow
countrymen, old patrons who knew
him personally, and while they were
careful and modest buyers, the total of
his sales began to assume handsome
proportions.
He had just turned away from a
group of satisfied buyers when a stout
man, very well dressed and very red
OF face, came into the little store.
He looked about him curiously and
then advanced TO the proprietor.
What's wrong with that?" he de-
manded as he placed his gold watch
in the jewelers. hanos.

OUR FOREIGN STUDENTS.
Almost 1900 Enrolled Now-Thelr
Number Rapidly Growing.

The number of foreign students at
American institutions of higher learn
ing is increasing rapidly from year TO
year, and the day is not far distant
when there will be more German stu
dents in America than American stud
ents in Germany. Thirty-four Amer
lean institutions attracted 1467 for
eigners during the academic year 1908
%, this figure being exclusive of sum-
mer session attendance.
Columbia attracted forty-two foreign
ers to It's current summer session, says
the Ameican College, and no doubt sew
eral other universities could make as
good showing for the summer term.
The largest delegations to the thirty
four institutions under consideration
were sent by Canada, 242; China, 1913;
Japan, 1853; Mexico, 81; Great Britain
and Ireland, II; Cuba, 20; India, GO;
Germany, So, (there were 298 Ameri.
cans enrolled at the various German
universities in the 1909 summer sem.
ester); Argentine Republic, So; Tur-
key, 81, and Russia, so.
or the 1467 foreigners at the institu-
tions under consideration 400 hail from
North America, 468 from Asia, 313
from Europe, only 154 from South Am
erica, 81 from Australia and IS from
Africa. Speaking broadly the larg-
est foreign patronage is enjoyed by the
graduate schools and the engineering
schools of the country, SO per cent of
the total number of foreigners at Co
lumbia for instance, being enrolled in
these faculties. Owing to the large
representation Of foreign students in
its dental school Pennsylvania with
225 foreigners continues to head the

LITTLE MIRRORS.

In the mirrors of today the light
is reflected by layer of silver
an amalgam of tin, but a proportion
OF light is lost in the process OF
reflection, and the image is less
luminous than the original.
The value of looking glass is u.s.
ually estimated by the thickness OF
the glass, because the thicker 1t Is
the stronger 1t must be.
But speaking scientifically thick
glasses are defective, because the
outlines of the image reflected are
less clearly defined
But it is only possible to obtain
this result in comparatively small
glasses.
The larger glasses do not reflect a
