colors of the Stars.

Although there is no relation ap parent between the two phenomena, yet it is interesting to recall the fact that among the stars certain colors ar- pear to characterize different stages of change, or evolution. Red stars, ac- cording to the testimony of the spec troscope, differ widely in their consti- tuition from white or yellow ones. and it has been thought that varying col CTS may give clew to progressive changes in the heavenly bodies. Sirius. for instance, is said to have changed from red to white, and some have sus- pected that Arcturus Is fading from red toward yellow.

4 QUEER UNIVERSITY.
Cairo Has the Worlds Oldest Educa.
 tionaI Institution.

w hen W" think of Harvard or Yale. the fcrmer dating from lG3S and ta.
 latter from l101, We think of them ay old universities" says Il writer in the
 American Educational Review; but When We pass to the other side of the world we discover that even the ollest American Universities are in reali. V very young institutions.
 "1 he oldest educational institution in the word is the University of II AShar, Cairo. fturt' - .u the year GSS py the grAa. Sn..t, II IS the central seat of learning fer 'h, whole Me, nanmedan world. as well as folln- tain of spiritual life. It occupies an ancient mosque in the Arab quarter eff Cairo, surrounded by confusing maze or narrow streets where the population IS made up of representatives of every race that follows the prophet
 "Ihe old mosque covers several acres and consists of series of courts sur rounded by long cloisters with low roofs supported by forests of columns. The floors of red tiles are covered daily by multitude of men and boys, squat ting in semicircles around their teach CTS, who sit with their backs to the columns featuring in monotones
 "The chancellor of the university is always a descendant of the prophet and is usually man of ability and learning. He occupies apartments in Fl Ashar and is not only the supreme educational but the ecclesiastical head of the church of Egypt.
 "There is no organization similar to that ill modern universities. Any rep utable man who desires to teach can obtain the privilege by application and is assigned column where he may sit and impart the truth as he thinks proper. His fame or ability will at tract more or less students and dis ciples, who pay him fees according to their means"

1894, and was christened after the pa

grandfather Albert Edward Christian
George Andrew Patrick David sec
ond son, prince Albert, was born In
1895, a daughter, princess Victoria, IN
1897, and prince Henry William, the
youngest child, in 1900.
Although he always has led an active
life the health of Britain's new ruler
is said not to be good. Having step
ped into the shoes OF his brother as
heir presumptive TO the throne, he soon
was called upon to take the position OF
his father in the royal courteSies and
as royal representative, the age OF
the prince of Wales having forced him
to yield to the younger man the some

taken two years ago by the duke and

his return he was created prince OF

Pleasing Personality.
England's new ruler has never been
done justice 10 by photography. A
more pleasant expression than his
can scarcely be imagined. Good
humor beams from his countenance
ry blue eyes. A most simple man
nered and pleasant parsonage. he IS
entirely free from side" and ever has
appeared much bored by the formaH
ties rendered necessary by his exalted
position "A downright pleasant gen
tleman," as he was once described
by jolly tar with whom he had an
interview. He had the reputation of
being a little wild" in his youth, but
after the death of his brother he So
bered down. Many amusing anecdotes
are told of him
On one occasion he and his brother
were at 8 ball given in their honor at
West Indian town. Prince George
devoted himself exclusively to the
pretty girls, while prince Albert Victor
was left to do the honors to the old
age. This became monotonoHs after
awhile to the elder brother, who pro-
ceeded to demonstrate with prince
George. The latter resented this in
reference with his pleasures. and ex-
claiming to his brother, "Oh. you go off
in a corner and sing, God save your
grandmother returned to the pretty
girls
Has a True Heart.
A story is told of how on the day
of his little sons christening, busy as
he was, he ran across an old servant
who had been associated with the duke
of Clarence and himself at the time
OF their boyish cruise around the
world. This man, coming down the hill
at Windsor raised his cap slike the
others to the prince, who promptly
turned to have word or two with his
old acquaintance and accept his con-
gratulations on the family event.
Though not without tact and kindli-
ness of manner, he lacks the genial
good fellowship which was so distin-
guished a characteristic of his father.
For this reason his companions and
associates have ever been a far differ
ent set from those Of king Edward,
and IL remains to be seen what influ-
ence they will have over him in the
exalted position to which he has been
called

American Association Has
Troubles Over EMPIRES
and a New Rule.

Milwaukee. Wis, May The Amer
lean association has suffered a greater
loss this season in postponed games
than at any time since the formation
OF the league in 1902. The Milwaukee
club, together with Kansas City and
Minneapolis, have been the greatest los
ers and il is estimated that the COM
bined loss will total up near $4,000.
With fair weather the attendance
would have been unusually large. as
the fans were at the fever heat point
and anxious to attend the games The
forced layof of the Milwaukee team
was probably a good thing IN a way.
as il gave manager McCloshey a
chance 10 build up and get his crippled
players into condition.
Many Of the players in the associa-
ton do not agree with president Chiv-
ington in regard TO the rule whereby
a man is called out at first base for
making the wrong turn; the players
claim that it would be better and easier
TO let the rule alone and interpret it
as was done last year. This calls to
mind the fact that president Lucas.
of the Northwestern league, in his in
struct;Ons TO the umpires, took just the
opposite view IN regard to the frsr
base play that Mr. ChivlngtOn does 4.
President Lucas, in his instructions
says, that a player in going to first
may turn. either way and shall be ex-
empt from being touched out. provid-
ing he Immediately returns to first
base without palpable attempt TO run
towards second.
There has been considerable conn.,
plant from managers in the associa-
ton regs riding poor umpiring, but this
is to be expected. President Chiving-
ton announces that he will give his
umpires every chance to make good
and it will only be on account of in
competency that any of them will be
removed In this respect he Is fol-
lowing in the footsteps of ex-president
