1hounnt for the Future.

The universities of oxford and Cam.
bridge have contributed about one
half of the men who have given Eng
land leadership in government science
and letters. Now two-thirds OF their
students have enlisted in the war;
Trinity college has been converted
into a military hospital. Could we
not select from those who would not
otherwise have the opportunity men
of ability equal to the students who
have attended the English universi-
ties and prepare them for work
equally important? And could we not
give opportunity to foreign men and
women of ability to continue here
work from which they will be ce-
barred by the conditions following the
war?-Popular Science Monthly.

Why He Kept a Servant.


In the days when he was superin-
tendent of the Portsmouth dockyard
in England, Lord Fisher, the present
admiral of the British feet, had the
seadog attitude toward the men; he
frequently tested them with all the
harshness Of a whaling captain; they,
in turn, treated him with a half
friendly, halfhostile familiarity
Several years after his Portsmouth
days Fisher visited one of his old as
sociates OF the forecastle who was
then living on halfpay. He found the
old man comfortably settled in cot
tage, attended by another superannu-
ated seaman.
why do you have this other man
here?" asked the admiral.

II is true that no one foresaw how
gigantic a war II was to be. The talk
ut first was of $4,000 men and 80
days. But suppose 1t could have been
foreseen that the conflict would last
four years; that 2,7O0,0OO men would
be enlisted on the Union side; that
the Union casualties would be, $1,000
killed in battle, $4,000 died of wounds,
1884, 900 died from disease, and $4,000
died in prison and by accidents, would
the awful toll have dismayed the loyal
people of the nation? Would the
South have been more than sobered
by the corresponding losses for itself?

MEMORIAL DAY.

To stately monuments that point
To mansions in the sky.
And village churchyards green and still
Where generations lie,
Once more we bring the fairest flowers
That crown the rolling year,
Once more about our hero-dead
The nation drops a tear.
The armies of the Blue and Gray
Their endless bivouac keep.
The soldiers OF the war with Spain
In camps OF silence sleep.
Not one among them died In vain.
Each dauntless spirit glows
beacon-fire on Glory's heights.
Alike for friends and foes
SO scatter them with blossoms sweet.
Columblas gallant dead,
White lilies like the northern SHOWS,
And southern roses red;
Some porlshed OF the fever-stroke.
Some fell beside the guns,
And some were right. and some were
wrong,
But all were Freedoms sons.

4 AM writing on Wednesday, April
s, but thinking of April 8, fifty
years ago, when two powerful
American armies came together the
last time to fight after having fought
for nearly four years in score or
more great battles. not to mention
many smaller ones; the day upon
which one of these armies, that of the
Army of Northern Virginia, which had
been under the command of Gen. Rob
ert e. Lee ever since June, 1862, sur
rendered to General U. S. Grant, COM
mander of all the armed forces OF
the Union.
II was a great day for both armies,
and. for that matter, the whole ma.
ton, the South as well as the North,
though Lees army and the South did
not look upon 1t from that standpoint
at the time. am OF those who have
always maintained that the supremest
kindness ever manifested toward peo-
pie was extended tc the South when,
under the leadership of Mr.. Lincoln,
the rest of the Union prevented the
South from leaving the Union to build
up southern confederacy. That is
why say, fifty years after the mo.
mentous event, it was a great day for
both armies and the nation.
Many things happened at Appomat-
tox aside from the one overshadowing
event. One Of them is the fact that
Grants soldiers and Lees soldiers be-
gan to fraternize as soon as possible
after the surrender.
