WORK FOR EDUCATION
MANY STUDENTS SUPPORT
THEMSELVES IN COLLEGE.
Statistics Gathered at Princeton Uni
versity Showing the Varied occu-
pations That Were Taken Up
by the Young Men.

Statistics recently gathered at
Princeton, show that 40 per cent. of
the students are working their way
through college. This means that of
the entire enrolment of LAP stu
dents 577 are helping themselves TO
gain an education. These figures In
clude all those who are making
money in small and large amounts,
and do not mean that the men are
not getting outside assistance OF
substantial kind. Students paying
half their expenses are included in
20 per cent. figures, and those paying
their way through without any help
from others could be put within he
ten per cent limit
There are scores of ways Of making
money at Princeton and the fact
that so many students take advantage
of them is sufficient evidence that to
work a little on the side is consid
cred highly honorable by the student
body as a whole, and 1t explains the
further fact, that among those work
ing their way through are some OF
the most prominent men In college.
both in athletics and in scholarship.
One of the most popular ways OF
making enough money to help pay
term bill or keep the recipient In
spending money is work on the col
lege publications.
Ic-ncies of various kinds-from
laundry work to socks that won't
tear out-give profitable employment.
Three principal laundries doing stu
dent work have student representa-
tives. These men are usually ath-
letes, as are those who have clothing
and athletic goods agencies Calen-
dars are sold by students at one dol
lar apiece and cigarettes, tobacco
stems. pennants, sofa pillows, pipes
and the like are offered to the stu
dents. but to freshmen especially at
the beginning of every college year.
Freshmen carry baskets around, well
stocked with pretZels and chocolates.
Soft hat men come through the dormi-
tories in the fall and straw hat men
| in the spring. Shoes are sold by stu
dents, and orders for clothing of vari-
Gus kinds are taken. Program priv
ileges on the occasion of athletic
events are frequented, and the ad'
/ vertising thereon yields a good re-
! turn.
Students are agents for typewriters
bicycles, kodaks, golf sticks, caps
canes and the like. The privilege Of
taking newspaper subscription on the
campus is considered a good one
Magazines are represented In Prince
ton by the score. Pressing establish
ments yield some money.-New York

An Eskimo's DWELLING.

We do not look for any great amount
of inventive genius among the Esqui.
maus, but for years they have EN-
ployed a rather complete respirator
used in the preparation and taking of
a vapor bath, as means of protection
from the dense smoke. This Esqui-
mau respirator is little basket woven
of twisted strands of fine grass. 1t is
placed with it's shallow side against
the mouth, and q wooden peg, which
arises from the center of the basket,
is held between the teeth. For this
purpose water is evaporated over a
big fire In a very low hut, which is
tightly closed to keep in the heat. In
this sitting atmosphere the employ
ment of a respirator is absolutely nee.
essary.

LORE OF THE WEDDING RING
Puritans Vainly Sought 10 Abolish the
Emblem-Diamond Best for
BetrothaI Ring.

According TO the ancient ritual in
marriage the husband began the ring
business by placing it upon the brides
thumb and putting it successfully on
the next two fingers. pronouncing for
each one a personal trinity, with
final amen when the fourth finger was
reached, and there the ring remained.
The Greek church ritual directs that
the ring be placed upon the right
hand. Puritan influence sought to
abolish the ring as vain and heather
emblem, but the sweet old fashion of
giving and taking the emblem for our
loves sake yet remains to US.
Betrothal or engagement rings vary
in fashion nowadays, and always de-
pend, or should, upon the purse of the
donor. Where there are no limitations
of this sort his taste, If 1t be perfect,
will lead him to choose the diamond
solitaire, and of the best he can af-
ford. a small and pure blue-white stone
being altogether preferable to a large
stone Some prefer ring set with
three stones-generally sapphire set
between two diamonds Others select
a ruby or an emerald, which signifies
promise of happiness.
Few persons choose pearls for an
engagement ring, as pearls are sup
posed to typify tears. They are also
too perishable to become emblems OF
love, which, in its first glow, at least
is understood to be indestructible
Their beauty is very precarious, being
dimmed, or aged" as the lapidary ex
presses 1t, by contact with impure air
while acid annihilates them com
pletely.

gentleman, dining at another table,
arose and approached them, his mus

Young Workers. Tragic Death.

The sweeps boy-the "ramoneur,"
has still to work his tortuous way
through the chimneys in France and
an accident which has just occurred
at Fleury-sur-Andelles calls attention
to the necessity of putting a stop to
the practice. A little Sayoyard, named
Charles Ravoise, fourteen years of
age, was sent up the chimney of a
baker and at the end Of three-quarters
of an hour he had not descended. The
alarm was given and the boy was
perceived blocked in the chimney,
which had to be demolished before
his dead body could be freed. He was
hanging by the neck, having been
caught in a portion Of the chimney
measuring less than six inches across
and asphyxiated.

Birds for Mosquitoes.

Experience Of the past few days
has convinced everybody that the
scientific war on the mosquito is a
fat failure. Insectivorous birds are
the only remedy, and not all of them
like mosquitoes. The swallow, which
does. is not a street dweller; the
night hawk flies high and is a rarity,
and the bat is promptly driven out
of every house he enters. What's
left but to slap and scratch?-

The SMART SHOES
FOR EVENING WEAR.
They Are Adorned With Fluffy
Ribbon Ornaments.

The smart shoes of the season, both
for day and evening wear, are decorat-
ed with large bows. Like most other
pretty things, those bows are not
cheap, so they add considerably TO
the first cost of the slippers, but the
girl who has a little time to spare
can easily make them for herself, and
they will add to the attractiveness of
the plainest pair of shoes. 1t is a
pretty fancy to let the bows match
the gown or hair ribbon with which
they are worn.
First there is a large rosette for
evening shoes. To make this you
need one and one-half yards of ribbon
about one-half inch wide and a small
piece of black buekram or stiff linen
to serve as a mount Never sew bows
straight on to the leather, for the
constant movement of the foot be-
meath them wears them out soon.
Divide the ribbon into quarters, cut
two little round pieces of buckram
each one-half inch across, for the
mounts; gather the ribbon round the
buckram, taking care that the raw
ends are neatly fastened off. Stitch
the bows down to the shoes, sewing
through buckram, but not through the
ribbon, for this would make it lie fiat
and look depressed and dowdy. The
center Of the rosette may be left
plain or finished off with tiny buckle.
A sequin mount on a shoe is also
pretty, and perhaps the snartest is in
the form of a star Trace the star on
the buckram and cut it out; sew the
sequins thickly on the silk and then
cover the buckram with it, holding
the silk in place by strong stitches at
the back Beads may be used in the
same way, but they should be sewed
on firmly or they win soon wear off.

Smart Gloves.

There Is no great change in glove
styles. The demand for short sleeves
will increase that for long gloves, and
many gloves will be worn in sixteen,
twenty and twenty-four button length
chiefly in white glace kid.
Neither pastel shades nor black, es-
pecially the latter, will be much worn
in kid, and white will have things
practically all its own way.
There is big revival of silk gloves,
particularly in the long sizes. Here
black and white are the most fmpor-
tant shades, not only for evening, but
also for street wear, as many lingerie
blouses are being made with elbow
length and three-quarter sleeves.
