THE PROBLEM OF COLLEGE

tons and supposedly study pay. The
answer to this question, says the Con.
gregationalist, may often be found in
the wish and ambition of the boy or
girl. To cross the settled desire OF a
thoughtful boy must always be a
doubtful matter. The real question is
whether the unthoughtful and the I'M
ambitious should be sent. Many of
these may be walked up to ambition
in college, but their chances of sue.

MODERN BUSINESS METHODS

A notable change has taken place
in American business methods within
the last decade. Increasingly men OF
large affairs are asking when young
man is recommended for big job,
"Is he a gentleman" This is signifi-
cant in two ways. It means that the
big business men are themselves gen
tlemen and like to deal with men who
speak their own language and that
American business methods have
grown to be such that the gentleman
has an advantage.
There was time when man who
was hustler could be cad If he
liked, and it did not hurt his chances
much. But that time has passed. The
big business men of to-day want young
men who are tactful, intelligent, indie
pendent, yet unassuming; who would
know how to talk to diplomat and
be at home in a good club; who could
be trusted to behave kindly, honor
ably and discreetly in any situation of
life; who, in short, have as their ideal
the old. never-changing ideal of the
gentleman. Not everybody can de-
fine it, but everybody knows it at
sight.
The gentleman, in short, can work
along the line of least resistance, and
that is why he is wanted.

ANIMAL BARoMETERS.

The tortoise is not an animal one
would naturally fix upon as likely to
be afraid of rain, but it is singularly
SO. Twenty-four hours or more before
rain falls the Galapagos tortoise makes
for some convenient shelter. On a
bright, clear morning, when not a
cloud is to be seen, the denizens of a
tortoise farm on the African coast,
may be seen sometimes heading for
the nearest overhanginig rocks.
When that happens the proprietor
knows that rain will come down during
the day, and as a rule it comes down
in torrents. The sign never fails.
This presentation, to coin word.
which exists in many birds and beasts,
may be explained partly from the in
creasing weight of the atmosphere
when rain is forming, partly by habits
Of living and partly from the need
of moisture which is shared by all
The catbird gives warning of an ap-
preaching thunder storm by sitting on
the low branches of tree, utterlng
curious notes. Other birds, including
the familiar robin. 1t Is said, give SINH
lar evidence of an impending change
in the weather.

REFLECTIONS Of A BACHELOR

A woman would rather have tai
lor one day year than dressmaker
every week.
You can tell how most people don't
care for you by how much they tell
you they do.
Good conduct takes years to make
an impression; but when it's bad it
makes it right away.
When a girl acquires the habit of
liking to be in her own room for re-
Election she has reached the love let
ter stage.
An open fireplace would be fairly
comfortable for the family if the men
of the house didn't have to sit right
in front of it and cut off all the heat.
When girl hates to be kissed it's
q sign it isn't the right man.
Expense meets you at the start;
you may catch income at the finish.
Being wise in business doesn't
thing else.
What makes a man SO excited in
an argument is that he resolved at
the start not to be.
Some people could figure out it was
fun to swallow tacks if common folk
hadn't the means to.
Maybe it is heaven because they
have good cooks there.
It's bootless to preach good citizen
ship and it's boresome to practice 1t.
A mans early ambition to be a mil
lionaire can simmer down In the end
to a yearning for theatre passes.
It's just a mans way to take his
children to Sunday school and then
hunt around the neighborhood for a
side door.
If a man stays out late at night
he gets indignant with his wife for
not understanding that the reason he
feels so bad the next morning is be-
cause business is poor.
A widow is always willing to learn
from a man so she will need to learn
more.
The most comfortable pedigree to
have is one that goes back to a gold
mine.
When a woman isn't losing her hair
very fast it's sign she is sure it's

OUR HIGHEST EXPLOSIVE

The airship Is the highest explosive
thus far invented by man.
This fact Is great grief to invent
ors and scientists, who have been
struggling for years to make the air
ship something else. Never has man
landed further from his goal than In
producing q 500-foot bomb while en-
deayoring to perfect an aerial omni-
bus.
Man has fused with airships for
many years. Monkeying with buzz
saw is a safety first" occupation be-
side it. Some few inventors have
been content to remain on earth, let
ting other men take the creations OF
their genius into the clouds. These
inventors are still alive and in good
health. The rest are reverently re-
membered.
The airship consists of thin skin
stuffed with gas. Man has solved the
problem of making this bag as long
as an ocean liner and of pushing it
through the sky at the rate of forty
miles an hour. But he has not yet
learned how to prevent it from explod-
ing with $750,O00 bang while too
far aloft to make fire escapes of the
slightest use.
Airships have remained aloft for
days at time, cruising across whole
nations at high speed. Airships have
carried happy passengers in luxurious
compartments from city to city on
schedule time. But airships have also
done so many other things of interest
only to science and the coroner that
they cannot as yet be classed as an
amusement or a convenience. An air
ship is still an adventure and dead
w weapon in the hands of man, who
apparently doesn't know it is loaded.
Many nations are experimenting Wig
orously with the airship in the hope
of being able to inflict hideous' injury
upon a hostile country through it.
This is perfectly feasible already. II
Germany would lend England all It's
airships in case of an i'll feeling be-
tween the two countries, it would
strike that country heartless blow.

THE HANDICAP OF THE CROUCH

The man who goes through the
world with a crouch, who is always
watching for an opportunity to "get
square" with somebody whom he
thinks has done him an injury, is at
a great disadvantage. The desire for
revenge acts in the system like a lea.
ven of poison, Gripping the brain pow.
er and inducing unhappiness. No one
can do his best when he has an un.
kind feeling or resentment in his heart
toward his fellow men.
We are always prejudiced against
those who have the reputation OF be.
ing grouchy, or who are OF sus.
picious disposition. These people
make very few friends and are not
good mixers" They often live lonely
and sometimes totally isolated lives
especially as they advance in years.
No employers wants such people
around him. He knows they are not
business-getters or friend makers; on
the contrary, they frequently drive
away customers and make trouble
among the other employees. In bust.
ness, If people are not treated civilly
they do not take into consideration
that the clerks and those who wait
upon them may be ill or tired. They
expect courtesy and obliging, kindly
treatment.
Everybody wants to get away from
the cranky, fault-fnding, over critical
person. We do not like people who
are out of tune with the world they
live in.

THE TRAMP
iRy Walt Mason, from yudQe)

His hair is long, his breath is strong,
his hat is old and battered, his knees
are sprung, his nerves unstrung, his
clothes are badly tattered, his shoes
are worn, his hides been torn by bow
vows fierce and snarling; and yet, by
heck! this tough old wreck was once
some daddy's darling!
He still must hit the ties and grit.
A dismal fate is his'n; for If he
stops the village cops will slam him in
to prison. Some hayseed judge would
make him trudge out where the rock
piles lying, to labor there, in his des-
pair, till next years SHOWS are flying.
The women shy when he goes by; with
riteous wrath they con him. Men give
him kicks and hand him bricks and
train their shotguns on him. His legs
are sprained, his fetlocks strained from
climbing highways hilly; it's hard to
think this seedy gink was some ones
little Willie!
And yet tits so. Once, long ago, some
dad of him was Dragging, and matrons
mild surveyed the child and set their
tongues a-wagging. What lovely
eyes!" one woman cries. "They look
like stripes of heaven!" "And note his
hairs!" dame declares. "I've counted
six or seven!" His temper's sweet"
they all repeat; "he makes no fuss
or bother He has a smile that's free
from guile-he looks just like his
father!" Thus women talked as he was
rocked to slumber in his cradle; they
filled with praise his infant days,
poured taffy with ladle.
And ma and dad, with bosoms glad,
planned futures for the creature. I'll
have my way" the wife would say;
"the child must be a preacher! His
tastes are pure, of that I'm sure" she
says, with optimism: "for when he
strays around and plays, he grabs the
catechism!" "Ah, WE'LL" says dad, 1.-The
lovely lad will reach great heights
l know it. l have the dope that he'll
beat Pope or Byron as poet
To give him toys and bring him joys,
the savings bank was burgled; folks
cried, Gee whiz! How cute he ISL
whenever baby gurgles.
His feet are bare, his matted hair
could not be combed with harrows;
his garb is weird, and in his beard are
bobolinks and sparrows. You'd never
think, to see the gink, that ever he had
parents! Can it be so that long ago
| he was somebody's Clarence?

NOSES MANIcURED HERE

The doctors continue to do wonder
full things with humanity. Not very
long ago some Philadelphia doctors
built new nose for man who had
lost his through some carelessness or
other. 1t was necessary to supply a
new nasal bone. so the experts in the
human repair shop grated a finger
nail into the nose.
The operation was a complete sue
cess until recently, when the patient
discovered with pain that the trans
planted nail was growing vigorously
and cutting off the blood vessels in its
course.
This illustrates wildly the perils
of modern improvements. The over
ambitious nose may be properly re-
strained and then again it may not.
Think of having to take your nose
around to the manicurist once week!

WASH DAY

In those olden, golden days, which
the bards and dreamers praise. Mon
day was day of dread, and the
housewife left her bed long before the
break of dawn then she put the
boiler on" carried water by the ton.
and the days work was begun.
Der the washboard then she bent.
rs the long hours slowly went: and
she rubbed and rinsed and Wrung,
till upon the line were hung al tha
children's Sunday clothes. whittier than
the driven SHOWS. Oh, she rinsed and
wrung and rubbed, where the heaps
of clothes were tubbed, till her back
was warped with pain and an acne
was in her brain; in the steam and
suds she toiled, and her hands and
arms were boiled. and the world
seemed shorn Of hope. for her hair
was full of soap ..
When the husband came at noon.
keen to ply the fork and spoon. keen
to WELD the carving knife, he would
srumble at the wife. for no banquet
had been spread. and he had to eat
dry bread. with perchance slice OF
beef; and he loudly voiced bis grief
He rebuked that household plan which
would force a hungry man to consume
such victuals stale rs they serve to
men In Jail And the children raised
complaint: hunger made them sick
and faint. and they sighed. with brok-
en- hearts, that there were NO pies or
tarts.
So the housewife toiled and
wrought, In the water. bubbting hot;
toiled away, distressed and weak. in
the steam clouds and the reek, till the
long, dark day was done, and her hour

to cope with the wash tubs and the
soaD. This was wash day in the time
oft embalming in poets rhyme, in the
olden. golden days, shining through
mystic haze.
In this unromantic time wash day
isn't such a crime. For electric cur
rents turn cunning little wheels that
churn soap and water through the
clothes, and wringer gayly goes; and
the housewives sit and read heipful
hooks like kim" or "Queed," while
the cranks and cogwheels buzz, doing
work no giant does. And the husbands
get their meals when the clock the
noon hour peals, and the children
bless their hearts! do not pine away

REFLECTIONS OF A BAcHELoI

A girl can smile at you just because
she doesn't mean it.
The exception never proved any
rule that was worth using.
The hotter the cooks temper the
colder the soup she can send in.
1t takes a woman to reproach her
self for catching one of the children
in lie.
It's easy enough to acquire any
habit unless it's good one.
Families are very useful for max
ing other troubles seem light.
The kind of weather we like is al
ways the kind we had the other day.
A woman would rather have free
postage stamps than free grocery
bills.
There are people that can decide to
be Jealous before they find out what
about.
Unselfishness is letting the selfish
have everything.
The first man to acknowledge how
smart he is always is himself.
1t would be awful unlucky for the
weather man If he ran for a public
Office.
The more bills a man runs up the
more he wouldn't If he were able to
pay them.
Don't tell a woman that you love
her; tell her what your loving her
makes you want to do for her.
The hitler the girl the bigger
charge of dynamite she can be for
some man.
A man who is able to help support
q lot of his relations always gets the
chance.
What we mostly object to about a
great talker is that we aren't doing
It ourselves.
It discourages a woman to have her
husband go shopping with her because
he wants to buy something.
A man can sit up all night in a
poker game and never feel it, but
being kept awake one hour by the
baby will break down his health.

THE POISON OF FATIGUE

Fatigue is not philanthropic or
sentimental fiction; it is a chemical
fact" explains Miss Josephine Gold
mark in an article on standard
Working Hours" THE exhausted
person is literally and actually a poi
soned person, poisoned by the body's
waste products. Fatigue is the signal
which gives warning that the limit OF
capacity is approaching. Exhaustion
follows when the signal is disregard
ed and the organism is pushed to
further eXertiOnS."
