Doggie Gets a Ride. It was a difficult matter to draw a well-defined line between instinct and intelligence. During the war I had with me my large Newfoundland dog, Felix. On the march this faithful ani- mal was always at the heels of my horse. On one occasion, I noticed that he was suffering from fatigue. Turn- ing to my servant near by. I said, ‘Stop here Felix until my wagon comes up.” This was done, and ever after that when I said, “Felix, stop here and get into the wagoniwhcn it comes up,” in the shade, and await the coming up of my team to ride into camp—Animal Friends. Why He Didn’t Shoot. A Utican who is a fine shot, a fre quent visitor to the Adirondacks, and a great lover of the woods, was deep in the wilderness a few days ago. With him was a life-long resident of the great, forest and one of the most successful guides, but who now occupies a responsible position as a protector of deer and other game. The two were together when two deer ap- proached, one just behind the other, and both within easy range. The Uti< can brought his rifle to his shoulder, glanced along the barrel at the deer, and brought his gun down again. “Why didn’t you'shoot?” was asked. “That deer hasn't any horns!” was the reply. The woodsman instantly extended his hand, with the words, “Shake. It does me good to once in a while find a man who has a heart and judgement as well.” ~ “I have shot a good number of deer in my lifetime,” added the Utican, “but I have never' shot a. doc, and hope I shall never be guilty of doing so, for in my eyes it is really a crime, and a heartless one at that.” “I think,” added the woodsman, “that if sportsmen—true sportsmen, I mean -who live in the cities and villages could be made to see and appreciate as I do the harm done in a sporting sense by the slaughtering of does, they would refrain from the slaughtering of does, they would rejoice to find deer far more plentiful than now. There is a low violated sometimes by brutes, against the killing of fawns, and it would be a good thing in my estima~ tion, if it was extended to protect does also, at least for several years. I al- ways feel ashamed of any friend of mine who comes into the woods, shoots a doc, and lugs it off exultantly, as if he had done something to be proud of.”—Utica Observer. A Practical Lesson. Miss H. was lately taking a railway journey. A suave old gentleman sit- ting opposite to her presently bent for- ward and said with gentle reproof: “Excuse me, but do you think it wise, when there are so many thieves about, to carry your pocket-book so conspic- uously?” As he spoke he pointed to her purse, which was projecting slightly from her pocket. Miss H., con- sidering the stranger rather ofllcious thrust her porte-monnaie down into her pocket, and thanked him with a stiff reserve, perhaps a trifle scornful ly. At the next station the old gentle- man got out. As he did so, he turned to his pretty vis-a-vis with a polite bow and a mischievous indulgence of his years. “Allow me to restore your pocket-book. You see it was not so hard to lose it as you supposed!” Sc saying he held out to her the purse she had supposed was safely reposing in her pocket. Miss H. received it, color- ing with childlike mortification, thanked him profusely, and her old friend took his leave with a friendly smile. A few minutes later, when the official came round to collect tickets Miss H. discovered her purse to be mi. nus ticket and cash—empty.

WORKING STUDENTS. MANNER 1N WHICH YOUNG MEN ARE ' ASSISTED AT COLUMBIA. . Students Given Employment and Thereby Enabled to Get Through College—A Committee Appointed to Find Employ- ment for Those “’ho Need it. Year by year the number of students in the colleges of the country who are self-supporting increases. The many things which a student can do in his spare hours, and the various societies that aid students, make this possible. In former years Yale was called “the rich man’s college,” and was consid- cred an institution at which no poor student could work his_way through. This has been all changed, and the number of self-supporting students is proportionately as large at Yale as at any other university. except those in the cities. It is to these latter that the poor stu- dent is most apt to go. They ofier many more advantages than do the others. In a town where the college is the great institution of the place there are hundreds of opportunities of tutoring, translating, or acting as amanuensis. So needy students flock to Columbia College in New York city, and the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. In Columbia and the City College there are committees on aid to the students. These commit- tees either directly lend money to im- pccunious students, taking their notes, payable so many years after gradua‘ lion, or find suitable employment for them.~ The student hands in his name and states what employment he is ca- pable of working at, and as soon as a place is heard of the student is noti- fied. Prof. Kemp, who is Chairman of the Committee on Aid at Columbia, was recently asked about the ways and means employed by conscientious but poor students who work their way through Columbia. “Every year,” he said, “about ten per cent. of the students apply for aid. The majority are those who are taking post—graduate courses, but there are many undergraduates. IVe generally find places for them which pay enough to keep the wolf from the door. Of course we cannot do much to help the freshmen and sophomores, for they are not capable enough, but we gener- ally find congenial employment for the post-graduates. One of them spent his last vacation in Europe as a compan- ion to some boys. During the last election one of the political organiza- tions hired sixty of the students to watch the polls, at from three to five dollars a day. lVe obtained employ- ment for others as detectors of illegal registrators. “Most of the boys make their living by tutoring. “’9 have any number who prepare young men for college in the classics and sciences. Most of these students we never hear of. They apparently studiously avoid us, as do in the retail stores. “’e can, at a mo- ment’s notice, supply students who will translate any letter written in a modern language and many small downtown firms have the students go to their offices on mail days. “We supply lecturers on scientific subjects from among the students and a few have given such lectures, ex- plaining the magic lantern pictures, which I lend them, before large audi« ences, for which they receive reason- able rates. Others take classes of boys out on Saturday, explaining the botany and geology of the metropolitan dis- trict. A great many not as book agents and some few are draughtsmen. In this way, we obtained between $4,000 and $5,000 worth of employment last year for needy students. We were, however, unable to help thirty-five out of 169 applicants. But these figures, In addition to the students who do not apply to us, show the great number of students working their way through college. “But this 1;. but one branch of our work. We find cheap, clean rooms, with respectable people for the stu- dents, and helped over fifty'in that way during this month. Those stu- dents, bringing lctters from the com- mittee, have free medical advice at the College of Physicians and Surgeons. Every year we give scholarships, en- titling the winners to free tuition, to 10 per cent. of the class. So, you see, a poor student can go through college, if he is but willing to work. just as well as the opulent one.”—Ncw York Sun. Compressed Air Painting. Car painting by compressed air is eing tried on the Pittsburg and Lake Erie Railroads, says the Engineering iNcws. The yard is well supplied with hir pipes, and the barrel of specially irepared paint is mounted on a hand truck so that it can be moved to any part of the yard. The air line con- 2sists of 100 feet of one-inch heavy hose; the paint suction hose of 50 feet 'bf 1/2-inch heavy hose. The barrel is ‘equipped with a float of pine wood with 4—inch hole in the center. Over used as a support and hose regulator, insuring a uniform feed of paint.
