few hundred millions more can be used to great advantage. Thus, 1t seems that the chair devoted to the interests of study of Baudelaire and the Mont martre school of poets of decadence Is not backed by foundation. Any gen. tleman knowing the formative value of these writers upon youthful charac- ter Is at liberty to give $150,000 for the purpose of founding a professorship. The study of the left hind knee of the common house fly has not been given sufficient laboratory attention. and a million might well be devoted to that purpose.
 The real truth of the matter is that our universities are becoming too diff fuse in their offerings to young men who have not developed either charac- ter or mental tendencies. Harvard has turned out some of the great men of the country in the past. especially when 1t was poor and when students lived in bare rooms and dined at com mons We do not see the young men emerging now from Harvard or other colleges who are able to tackle the problems of the age.-Philadelphia Inquirer

The Hope Chest of n Maiden.

Every German girl has a hope chest This is much different from the dowry chest which the American girls, on be- coming engaged, begins to fill in ad- vance of her wedding day. The Ger man maiden begins to stock her hope chest even before she meets the man to whom she is to be married. She be- gins to save for her wedding day long before she Is engaged. She Is imbued with sense of thrift and also with an ambition to have a larger dowry than her mother had. Often the German girl begins to collect things when she enters her teens. Silently she saves her money to use in buying articles for her chest. With skill she embroiders her initials on each article of linen. Thus by the time she is engaged to be married she is thoroughly equip ped with hundreds of little articles that are useful in housekeeping.

fire of coals, and greater pride in his ability to go forth and forage for a meal, capture his game and make his own bread.
 There is another part of the play that adds the necessary thrill to keep all this serious work adequately sugar coated. It Is the actual scouting. The enemy Is somewhere in the neighbor- hood and must be discovered. Parties of three or four are sent forth to in- vestigate. They can creep through the underbrush without making a sound, can climb trees and swim riv- CTS in the quest. They learn to find their way by means of maps and com pass and to steer their course by the sun and stars. Instruction in the sig nal code with smoking torch and bon fire Is a part of the camp course, and they are taught the system of flag signals in use in the British army. There is target practice and the man. ual of arms, setting up exercise and dress parade drill in the days work All this appeals to the boy while it Is developing his body and molding his character. He becomes alert and strong, cultivates the habit of close observation and attention to details, and better than all these, he is i'm bued with the sentiment that it is worthy and kind to be gentle toward the weak and helpless, that a fellow who would lie or cheat or in any way take an unfair advantage is a person beneath contempt, and that the fel- low who "cherishes a grouch' Is de- cidedly in the way and ought not to be tolerated. He is saturated with the thought that selfishness and coward ice are despicable. He is charged to do each day some worthy and un- selfish act, to help some one in dis tress or add to some ones comfort and happiness.

The plant" Is worth some more millions, while the current receipts are large. As a going concern Harvard seems to be a very prosperous corporation.
 This must be very gratifying to Pres ident Lowell, who Is just completing his first year, but under the present system 1t Is fraught with some danger. He must look upon this as a starting point If he manages to keep up with the record of President Eliot, he will rival the Standard Oil Company a few years hence, The balance sheet shows a nice sum carried to credit and profit and loss, but there are so many ave nues of energy in the situation that a

SOLD BILL MACABBE.n
Saw IInIIey's Visitor from Deck of
 the Consultation in 1885.

Probably one of the most interested spectators of the comets journey from the eastern to the western sky last night was William Macabbe, an in mate of the United States Naval home at 24th street and Gray's Ferry Road, the Philadelphia Inquirer says.
 "Old Bill" as he is familiarly called by his comrades at the home, is 106 years old, and when Halley's comet made it's last appearance in 1885 he was sailor, 31 years old.
 When seen yesterday Bill was propped up in bed, for he has had a broken leg which has kept him in doors for more than year, and when asked if he remembered seeing the comet seventy-five years ago, the old sailor, taking another pull at his corn cob pipe, said, Yes, believe I do."
 Now, since it comes back to me, remember the night distinctly It was my watch, and we all had been on the lookout for the comet to cross the sky for several days. I do not re- member exactly what boat I was on at that time, but l think 1t was the
 
 T had been pacing the desk for some time when I suddenly spied the comet, and I called some of my ship mates to witness it as it trailed across the sky. It was not very large, probably as big as head of cabbage, and 1t had a long, milky tail. We saw 1t after that for two or three nights. and then it disappeared.
 q have seen many comets while at sea, and several times I have seen huge meteors shoot through the sky and fall with loud hiss into the ocean, while a column of steam caused by the meteors contact with the water rose into the air''
 Last night "Old Bill' was wheeled out on the naval hospital veranda to see the comet. He has been very much interested hearing the other in- mates of the hospital ward where he has been for so long a time talk about It, and he expressed a desire to again see the aerial visitor on its journey across the sky.

of skill and information. He must learn about wild animals and how to track, trap and dress them. He must achieve skill in woodcraft and the art of building boats and bridges. must i know how to set up a tent or. in the absence of tents, he must be able to construct shelter of such materials as he finds in the woods. All the appli- ances for saving life must be mas tered. The scout knows what to do when he sees a comrade overmastered In the water, and how to resuscitate the victim, who Is all but dead when he Is rescued. He can swim and dive, can paddle any kind of boat that is seaworthy and repair, with any tools at hand, the one that leaks to the dan ger point. He Is taught the simple rudiments of gun-shot surgery. so that in case of accident he can give intelli- gent aid to the injured while awaiting cause those on the ground do not know what to do. and either do nothing at all or do the wrong thing
 The boy makes friends with the horse, studies his habits and learns how to handle him. The. true scout never jerks or leases or beats the ami nal he has in charge, and he acquires the art of stopping the runaway steed in the street, and takes it upon him. self to reprimand the non-scout who is caught abusing his horse. He learns what to do in case of fire, how to enter a burning building for the pur- pose of saving life or property, and how to escape from one in the safest manner possible. Many other prac- tical lessons of everyday life are in- cluded in the scouts course of in- struction. and through all of it runs the note of self-reliance and resource fulness. He is made to use his brains to face problems and think out the solution, to conquer difficulties and surmount obstacles. And all this Is given to him in the guise of play!
 In the woods the boy acquires a great deal of real information. con- corning plants and animals. He studies the tracks of certain animals that are good for food and fur. especially those that are a constant menace to the chicken roost. and learns to trap or shoot them and then cook them so that they will be palatable to a woods man with a ravenous appetite and no finicky notions about what Is proper to eat. The boy with the puniest ap- petite and the most foolishly indul- gent mother comes home, after an encampment with the scouts. ready to eat anything that is set before him. He has been impressed with the idea that 1t is effeminate and weak to be critical about his food. The real, hardy scout can eat anything that Is not poisonous. and relish 1t. And hs gets over the notion that cooking Is work only for women or for the hired chef. He takes pride in his ability to make coffee and broi1 bacon over a

NEourners in Red.

There can be no doubt that in the dark and part of the middle ages red and not black was the favorite mourn ing color throughout Europe. Even down to the end of the fifteenth cen tury the change from blood red to black was not complete, though black cloaks were worn over red clothing. In Abyssinia the mourning color is a reddish brown. In Turkey it Is violet, a color closely allied to red. It Is a curious fact that among the Maoris of New Zealand red is the hue of sorrow. In earlier times mourners daubed their bodies with red juices when they fol- lowed a chief to his grave. and even the resting places of the bodies were also colored red.

IN HOURS OF PLAY
ANIMALS MAKE GOOD USE OF
 THEIR LEISURE TIME.
Authenticated Cases Which Prove the Brute Species Are Aware of the Value of ReIaxation-Merry
 Antics of Monkeys.

All animals, from ants up to whale: and elephants, play together in youth and some are fond of taking such di versions at intervals through life One might search the world over anC not find more playful creatures than puppies and kittens, but there are oth CT dumb animals which not only frisB about, but actually descend to prac tical jokes.
 A Brazilian parrot once succeeded in making a railway party believ that they had run over a child. Sudden cries, followed by a low moaning, rang out from beneath the wheels. The train was stopped, and the en- ployees nervously searched the track, but no child was to be seen. No clue to the situation was to be found until a large green parrot. swinging in his cage, uttered a mocking laugh.
 A monkey on shipboard used to amuse himself in the cooks absence by turning the water-cocks in order to enjoy that worthy's surprise when he returned and found the water running over the floor; and there are scores of authenticated instances of actual deception practised by animals to gain some desired end
 A certain Skye terrier used to at tempt deceiving its master by going through the action of killing a fly, and then assuming an air of success. One day, however, when proof was given him that his hypocrisy was detected, he slunk under the furniture, evident ly quite ashamed.
 The merry antics of monkeys are many and diverting. Humboldt was acquainted with a monkey in India which took delight in riding a pig. Every morning the creature caught one, leaped astride his back, and clinging there with great firmness. took his fill of riding.
 Another monkey, domesticated by B missionary, used to put the family cat, a strong, good-natured animal, to the same use.
 The favorite game of others seems to be that of sliding down hill. They climb to the top of high snow-ridge, lie fiat upon the stomach, with the fore-feet bent backward, and giving themselves an impulse with the hind legs, glide down the hill head fore most In summer they select a slo- ping river bank, which has clayey soil, and where the water at it's base is of considerable depth. Climbing this bank, they start from the top, slip swiftly over the sloping ground, and plunge into the water.
 The gambling of whales is often witnessed by sailors, and Paley says that any observer of fish must ac- knowledge that they are so happy they know not what to do with them selves. Their attitudes and frolics are simply the effect of an excess Of spirits"

Iron in Antiquity.

The following is a brief summary of the facts known as to the use of iron by the aucients:
 Interesting in the light of recent metallurgical practise is a part of an iron tool found in the Great pyramid. because 1t contains not only nickel but also combined carbon. showing that it is not of meteoric origin.
 Under a sphinx at Karnak an iron sickle was found
 At Delhi there still exists an iron pillar. 50 feet high and 16 inches in diameter. made of 50-pound blooms welded together. This pillar, 1t is suggested, may be regarded as the doyen among products of the heavy iron industry.
 The use of iron and steel in China has been traced to the year 2357 B. c.
 The Japanese are said to have had a curious method of making steel. They buried forged iron in marshy ground and after eight or ten years. through some alchemy of nature. iS came out steel.

Tricks of the Compass.

Experts say that the steel hull of .. vessel Is rendered magnetic during construction by the hammering of the metal and that every steel vessel has to have it's compass corrected to coun- teract its own magnetic lines of force. The magnetic influence Is further com plicated by the load carried by the vessel, If this load Is magnetic or capable of being magnetized. The ore carrying vessels of the great lakes ex- perience great difficulty on this ac- count and the United States hydro graphic bureau Is endeavoring to teach pilots and captains of vessels plying In this trade how to check their course by means of the pelorus.
 The pelorus is an instrument simi- lar to the sun dial, being provided with a gnomon and a graduated arc on which a shadow of the gnomon is cast. The instrument is set in a north and south direction. as indicated by the compass.
 By noting the shadow on the gradu- ated arc 1t is possible to tell by com parison with tables furnished by the government just how far from the north and south position the gnomon really lies. thus showing the compass error.

For the sins of their business few men punish their stomachs People eat three times a day in dull times as we'll as in active times They will buy those things of the man who tells them that he has them for sale. Peo- pie do not buy as much in dull times as in good times, nor will they buy certain things at all when depression comes. However, at dull seasons they have time to think about these things beyond their present reach and will cull out certain objects of desire which they will surely purchase when pocket books are fuller. In the dull time, therefore. press upon the public mind the worth and beauty and utility of the goods you have for sale. Then, when money is more plentiful, the goods will move. Emulate the furn- ace makers, who advertise in sum- mer, and the refrigerator people, who i'll the winter magazines with their advertisements.
