The College Degree.
The d«*r<-egiving habit. say* lb*
World'* Work, came to us from the
Knallsh unlveraltlee, and the medieval
badge once meant something to edit'
cated men. Hut now, remark* the
writer, It no longer haa any special
significance to any body of men. and
men of actual attainment are quietly
dropping the explanatory letter* that
are supposed to Indicate their educa-
tional achievements. Nowaday* a col
lege graduate has spent from two to
five year* In an Institution where he
may have eaten a substantial Intellec-
tual meal, or may have tasted Instead
a vast number of tempting education-
al dishes—or merely bad a good time
and hired a coach to do the required
thinking. Ho may have entered col-
lege after a thorough training In a
good fitting school, or he may have
been "accredited" by a perfunctory
school teacher, and have been really
unprepared for any higher atudiea.
Under *uch condition* the conferring
of degree* I* a piece of scholastic
buncombe, endeared by tradition and
of some supposed commercial benefit
to the recipient*. It 1* natural enough
that young poople In college ahould
confound the taking of a degree with
the getting of an education. But what
la really more lamentable I* that
American college* *eem unable to put
their atamp upon their graduate* In
■ome more enduring manner than by
giving them little roll* of parchment
and the right to add *ome capital let*
tera to their namea.
Earthquake a Htalth Tonic.
There was too, In San Fr&nclsco, an
Improvement In the general health of
the people after the earthquake. It
la an undoubted fact that a great
many women who were In a poor state
of health before the shock, with bad
appetites and defective digestion, are
now eating all they can get and di-
gesting it without trouble, while the
mental condition, which so often ac-
companies the dyspeptic state, has
equally Improved. The explanation,
says the London Hospital, is as simple
as It is rational. These people were
fortunately deprived of their drams,
alcohol and luxuries; they had noth-
ing but simple food, and they were
compelled to take exercise In the
open air to get It. The men have
found It possible to live without
cigars or whisky and the ladles with-
out candy. They have cooked their
simple meals In the streets, to the
better ventilation of their houses; for
lack of light they have gone to bed
early, with the compensation that they
have risen with the lark. They have
had the enforced benefits of a sani-
tarium, and good health is the result.
Women are sometimes regarded as
likely to lose their heads and grow
hysterical with fear in times of sud-
den danger, but every little while
some incident occurs which puts
them in another light. An open car
filled with passengers ran away down
a long hill in New York the other day.
When it was found that the car was
beyond control many passengers
screamed and Jumped and some were
badly hurt, says the Youth's Com-
panion. A woman who had a baby In
her arms stood calmly up In her
place, motioned to a man on the
atreet who was watching the ap-
proaching car, tossed the baby to
him as the car passed, and then sat
down. The man caught the baby,
and in a few moments the mother
walked back, thanked him, and took
the child. Nothing panicky about
that!
Ocean freight rates are kept re-
markably firm considering the tre-
mendous increase in the world's out-
put of ships. There were put in the
water on the Clyde in June a greater
tonnage than was ever before floated
in any one district. Lloyd says there
are now 377,500,000 tons of mercan-
tile ships and over 30,000 vessels. Of
these two-thirds are steamers and the
others sailers. British yards alone
floated 207 vessels during the first
half of the present year, the tonnage
of which exceeded that of any previ-
ous six months by more than 100,000
tons.
All the old sayings seem In a fair
way to be disproved. That lightning
does strike twice in the same place
has been demonstrated. In fact, down
at Cape Henry, Va., it struck the same
place twice in the *ame day, and that
was the reason why tie wireless tel-
egraph station went out of business
temporarily.
The harvest of the sea has not been
at bountiful as that on land. There Is
likely to be a scarcity, If not an actual
famine, as regards certain kinds of
fish, owing to the poor success of the
fishermen on the Labrador and New-
foundland coasts and elsewhere.

amy maneuver* the battle of Antle-
tam ha* been fongbt( without its mis-

He accm* l« have different joy*, different Buffering*, different grief*, dif-

Metaphysical or purely abstract question* do not interest him at nil.
He is the man without faith, without religion, although ho seem* at
iirst sight to be the most religious of all. a* much by reason of the in-
numerable churches—va*t stage setting!—of his country, as by reason of
his innumerable sects born of the necessity he feels of cataloguing every-
thing. ^
In the depth of hi* eyes there is often a light which mi^lit lie taken
for a manifestation of soul. It is a material light, the preoccupation, no
matter where he may be—in the theater, at a ball, in a church, on a jour-
ney—to turn to his profit everything he sous. To attain his end he does
not recoil before any sacrifice.
If he looks upon a magnificent forest, it is not to admire the luxuri-
ance of the foliage, but to estimate the extent, the number of trees. If lie
passes before a famous lake, lie instinctively calculates the area of it.
In the evening he counts the stars, computes the dimensions of the moon.
He materializes the infinite in place of feeling the emotion of its mystery.
For him art does not exist. He has, however, a mania for collections
of all kinds. He is ceaselessly in quest of the most eautiful productions
of the ages. But he collects bibelots and pictures solely from the point
of view of their market value.
And since at bottom he is not interested in art, in almost all his
purchases he has recourse to an architect. This man has carte blanche.
He builds the palace, furnishes it, decorates it from roof to collar to such
a point that the master, who lias seen nothing of the furnishing, and re-
members only its cost, has only to enter to find the installation complete,
from the pictures, etc., to the books in the library.
Thus cataloguing himself, the American acquires in his own eyes the
veiy clear proof of his refinement. And his resounding public gifts are
worth to him, in ineffaceable letters, this label: Generosity.
Perils of Attempt to
Omit targe fortunes
By O. M. WENTWORTH,
Manufacturer.
If any effort to limit
the accumulation of
wealth by special act of
legislation should be suc-
cessful, the result would
certainly be unfortunate.
When we reflect upon
what wonderful triumphs
of progress have been ac-
complished before our eyes in this country by the energy and enterprise
of men seeking fortune and distinction, we may picture to ourselves what
would have been the situation had the accumulation of wealth been limited
by some arbitrary law.
It is safe to say that few, if any, of our monuments to industry, enter-
prise and courage, such, for example, as the great transportation systems
of the country present, would be in the state in which we see them to-day
if the projectors and builders had been prohibited from accumulating
wealth beyond a certain point.
When I was a young man I remember that illuminating oil was so
costly that it was little used, and people had to rely for light on home-
made candles made of tallow in each household. To-day the poorest al-
most can afford a fine grade of illuminating oil.
This business has been built up, and this great industry has been
developed so marvellously because those who entered the field of develop-
ment knew that there was no arbitrary limit to the rewards that they
might expect for their talents and their energies.
Nothing would more surely injure the progress of the country than
the limitation of fortunes. At the present time vast sums of money are
spent by the rich and by those who are accumulating wealth, and vast
sums, moreover, are given away for the many benevolent objects which
are presented to men almost every day, and for educatinal purposes.
If accumulation were limited, this giving and spending would have to
Men would strive for the goal that the limitation had set, and while
so striving would concentrate their attention more than ever on the ex-
clusive purpose to get what they were after. But having arrived at that
goal, productive effort would cease, and the rich would be hoarders rather
than spenders.
Enterprise would suffer so seriously
that the race itself could not escape the
most serious deterioration.

Religious entertain*
ment is the fad of our
times. It is necessary
that diversion is had. It
would be better for the
souls of men if it were
purely irreli^ibus. The
extreme tendency to-day
is to make entertainment
a religion, in other
words, salvation. Already the Pilgrim's Progress, Barabbas the rob-
ber, John the Baptist, Mary Magdalene, with other Bible plays, have been
put on the boards, and the worldly Christians flock by the thousands to
hear anr* see, but the deep religious effect on the minds is evanescent as a
dream. Entertaining preaching overmuch has a tendency to poison the
mind away from God #

Practiced What He Preached.
Rev. Denis P. O'Flynn. of New York
city, used to say that priests ought to
die poor and he practiced what he
preached. Aside from a valuable li-
brary given to the Paullst fathers he
has left no discoverable estate—no
money In bank, no money In the rec-
tory. "He died as poor aa the proverb-
ial church mouse," says his assistant,
Father Corrlgan. "What little insur-
ance he carried will barely cover the
funeral expenses. He never saved a
ponny for himself. After keeping the
house on his meager salary he gave
away all he had."

The fire flies of Jamaica emit so
brilliant a light that a dozen of them,
enclosed within an inverted tumbler,
will enable a person to read or write
at night without the least difficulty.
Indeed, It Is an expedient to which
many resort. These flies are In size
a* large as a common hive bee, and
perfectly harmless. Their appearance
in unusual numbers acts as a barom-
eter to the natives, and is an indica-
tion of approaching rain.
Disused Houses Cheap.
Many tourists in Switzerland were
a*tonlshed this summer to see vil-
lages In the Rhone valley, near
Brlgue, which looked as if they had
been bombarded. On Inquiry they
found that the demolished houses
were mostly' temporary boarding
places for the Italian laborers who
made the Slmplon tunnel. After
their departure these houses were of-
fered for sale at $50 each—not, of
course, including ine ground on which
they stood.

Change of Food Brought 8ucceaa and
Happineaa.
An ambitious but delicate girl, after
falling to go through school on ac-
count of nervousness and hysteria,
found In Grape-Nuts the only thing
that seemed to build her up and fur-
nish her the peace of health.
"From infancy," she says, "I have
not been strong. Being ambitious to
learn at any cost I finally got to the
High School, but soon had to aban-
don my studies on account of nervous
prostration and hysteria.
"My food did not agree with me, I
grew thin and despondent I could
not enjoy the simplest social affair for
I suffered constantly from nervous-
ness in spite of all sorts of medicines.
"This wretched condition continued
until I was twenty-flve, when I be-
came Interested in the letters of those
who had cases like mine and who
were being cured by eating Grape-
Nuts.
"I had little faith, but procured a
box and after the first dish I expe-
rienced a peculiar satisfied feeling
that I had never gained from any or-
dinary food. I alept and rested better
that night and in a few daya began
to grow atronger.
"I had a new feeling of peace and
restfuless. In a few weeks, to my
great ioy, the headaches and nervous-
ness left me and life became bright
and hopeful. I resumed my studies
and later taught ten months with ease
—of course using Grape-Nuts every
day. It is now four years since I be-
gan to use Grape-Nuts, I am the mis-
tress of a happy home and the old
weakness has never returned." Name

It is stated that nearly 8,000 achool
gardena exist in Auatrla, not includ-
ing the aister kingdom of Hungary.
They are connected with both private
and public schools, and are used for
purposes of practical inatructlon in
horticulture and tree-growing, and
often contain botanical museums and
bee hlvea.
Proved Effectual.
It la 900 yeara since the failure of
a bank In China. On the last occasion
when such an event happened, the
emperor had the failure Investigated,
and found it had been due to reckleas
conduct on the part of the directors.
He at once issued an edict that, the
next time a bank failed, the heada of
its president and directors were to
be cut off. This edict, which haa
never been revoked, has made Chlna'a
banking instltutlona the safest In
