The lecture courses, as rule, cost from $1.25 to $500, according as there are one or four hours a week. Laboratory fees arc extra, but reasonable; and the classes held by the professors are generally gratis. Since 1913, the scale of prices have been increased some what for students from foreign lands, but they are still more easily borne than university charges outside of Germany.

German Universities-Th,

German Universities-The war in
 Europe, while not completely closing
 Germany'S twenty-one great uniVerS1-
 ties, has practically depopulated their
 chairs. These institutions had, before
 the war, total of more than 50,000
 matriculated students, the one at Ber
 lin having nearly 10000 alone. Among the faculties of Germany's
 twenty one universities were scattered
 at the beginning of the war in Eu- rope, many of the biggest men in the world of learning. The German uni versity was a thoroughly cosmopoli- tan community, all nations, all manner of customs and all habits of thought being represented. Americans have been represented at German universi- ties since Benjamin Franklin's day. That great printer statesman -philos- opher is looked upon as the founder of the American Colony at Goteeingen, a loosely organized student corporation with a wealth of traditions extending over more than 100 years.
 Hundreds of young Americans at tended the universities of Germany of the plans of this student stream will not be the least of the hardships
 that the great struggle is forcing us to share. The influx of American stu dents regularly began in the early part of April and continued through the summer until the opening of the au- tumn semester. At such universities as Berlin, Leipsic, Munich, Heildel- berg and Goteeingen, the student con- 1 tingent from the United States forms | a considerable body.
 The German university is an imper- I ium in imperio-a state within a state. Upon being matriculated in one of I these universities, the student be- comes a member of an ideal republic of learning; he is responsible alone flor him to the state. The card of membership which the university au- | thorities issue to him is his passport. l It protects him from arrest and from the impositions of tradesmen, and es- tablishes his identity beyond question
 before all servants of the state. This card, also, procures theatre and con- cert tickets for him at significant price reductions. Furthermore, it es- | tablishes his credit with local trades men.
 l From before the beginning of mod err times, Germany has held foremost | educational ranks. Her universities have enjoyed international renown 1 since the Middle Ages, while many of | the names most prominent in the l pedagogical world are German. To- l day, the Fatherland is distinguished both for a diffusion of knowledge | through all classes, a diffusion that l has tpractically eliminated illiteracy and for the superiority of it's speci-

MAKE CANDLES STAY ON CAKE

To make candles stay in place on a cake turn a hot knitting needle into the lower end for a. couple of inches, pull it out and quickly press into the cavity made a wooden toothpick. Let this harden in place, and then stick the other end of the toothpick into the top of the cake. If you force the toothpick into the cold handle the candle will crack and break and you cannot manageWit, but this way of making the hole for the toothpick with hot needle is sure to be suc- ceSSful.

LINEN CLOSET.

Linen stored in a closet warm and poorly ventilated will soon become yellow and will crack earlier than If stored otherwise. The properly con- structed linen closet should be in a cool dry place. Each shelf should be covered with linen slips fastened with drawing pins. Have the linen slips broad enough to fold back and cover the contents of the shelves. Old sheets may be used for this purpose.

PAINTING POINTS.

When preparing paint remember that better results are obtainable from several applications of thin paint than from heavier coats. Of course. it takes longer to do the work. Paint put on in thin coats and allowed to dry, lasts much longer and will not flake off as is often the case when heavier coats are applied. When very fine results are wanted rub down each coat after it has thoroughly dried.

Tn European countries this is not a good circus year. But down in Bridgeport a great show is preparing to start upon the road for a season of seasons-four trains, HOO performers, 630 horses. And it is stated that the war has been the means of sending to this country hundreds of circus art ists'' who cannot find employment in European shows and hence have sought America, "the land of the free' and of popular priced admissions. This would seem to imply that circus men, whether athletes, jugglers or tent followers, prefer to face death on the road than in the trenches; but be that as 1t may, it augurs well for the cir GUS season in the United States. as a going business, with the performers the pick of the world.-Hartford Times.

annual matter with the farmers. Bristol Press.

Trespassers do a great deal of damage, although they may not think so; they do not understand the law or the meaning of the rights of property owners, possibly they do not care any thing about it, but there is scarcely any doubt. but they need advice. There are so many around New Britain who can neither speak nor read English that the notice referred to is not understood and for that reason the case is all the more per picking. Criminal prosecution is not always popular because of the belief of so many that they are not violating any law, and yet it seems as if the farmer has not other means open to him by way of protection.-New Bri- tain Herald. .--.-.

ROOTS ADVICE,

Elihu Root has on many occasions given some most valuable advice and pointed out some undodga,ble truths during his long public career and he is still in a position to keep up his good work for some time to come, even though he nas chosen to end his services to state and nation in the halls of congress.
 Easing his claims upon conditions which have resulted from the putting into operation the principles for which the party in power stands, he advances the cold truth when he asserts that the republican party has an unprece- dented opportunity to return to power by stressing the facts that it under stands the economic importance of re- establishing confidence. It is from the lack of this that the country has been suffering. From the very ab- sence of it this country has been turn ed from prosperity to @ state of un- certainty. It has existed long enough. but the very proof that has been fur nished to the country is sufficient for the changing from the unworlzable principles to those which have been tried and which have proved their worth, as the progress Of this nation in the past half century proudly shows.
 The best and most convincing proof of wrong ideas are often best estab- lisiied by giving them plenty of rope. There can be no question but what this has taken place within the past two years. It was not without warn ing and 1t has resulted as was anti cipated. Greater confidence in the re- publican party has at the same time been established and Mr. Root points the way for republican victory when he emphasizes the power of the re- publican party to restore and maintain this confidence.
