WIIIING Ai EDUCATION.
HOW GIRLS MAKE THEIR WAY
a THROUGH COLLEGE.
s Many a Girt Has a Positive inspira- I
tion Towards Helping Herself
6 Is an Absolute Prerequlsite to the
Student Working Her Way.
Many an ambitious girl is forced
to take her place in college with what
money she ran muster for her own
resources, add perhaps a partial loan. i
Then, if she is gifted with good
health and "a brave attitude towards t
life," she can help herself fitancially
by following some of the ways and
means which have been proved suc- E
Cessful. "A woman has power to ac- t
complish the imnpossible, and she t
should never fear to undertake it,"I
has been boldly saidr It is true that c
for the ready, facile young woman, (
gifted with the intuition accorded to ¬
her sex, "doors are open, ways are I
made." Many a college girl has a
positive inrpiration towards helping
herself.
Among the ways and means which I
.have been proved successful in one
or another woman's college are mend- i
ing for one's more fortunate neigh
bors, making menu cards, drawing t
posters, valentines, Christmas and
Fasfer cards, taking agencies for
fountain-pens, books, atldetic supplies,
etc., doing amateur photography, i
making a variety of candfes, carrying
on a laundry or restaerant, or col- 1
lecting specimens for scientific pur
poses.
Tutorltig and clerical work are ex
cellent but invariably over-crowded
avenues of self-help. In colleges
where student tutorilig is allowed, a
good income can be made by the stu
dent thO, carrying her own work
I easily, tutors delinquent mepfbers of
the college at seventy-five .cents or
,I $1 an hour. Knowledge of stenog
t1raphy, together with a typewriting
machine or good pentmanship, will
almost universally help a student to
help hdrasif. For both tutoring and
clerical work, however, the best op
I portunitles are to be found in the co
3 edueational institutions, such as Ober
I ln, Michigan University, and Cornell.
For self-evident reasons, the more
mature a student is on enttring col
I lege the better her chance to aid her
1 self. Stopping out for a year or
I two after the freshman or sophomore
s yeart to teach dr otherwise earn
t money for the college course, is
sometimpes a wise plan. At Colum
bia Ifniversity, Washington, D. C., it
* is possible to tak' two or threo
courses a yea in evening classes, dnd
while earning money by some daily
f employment, in time obtain one's do
grec. Chicagg Unicrsity terms, of
six weeks, with their "m'inor" courses
aand twelve weeks' "major courses,"
afford wide opportunities for college
work; and Chicago Univer:;iy is re
nowned for its cordial attitude tow
ards the self-helping student.
Health is an absolute prerequisite
to the student who is Working her
way through college. Just b-c-ause
she is conscientious and indefatigable,
the college woman needs to pay all
the more attention to the laws of phy
sical well-being, particularly if she is
carrying outside work. Intellectual
labor, in itself, wisely directed, is
never a cause of ill health in those
who at the outset are sound in body
and mind. It is lamentably true that
the health of college women suffers
more than that of college men. Cases
of overwork and nervous prostration
are by no means infrlquent in wo,
men's colleges. One of tha New lng
landi colleges holds the record of a
student who tutored for eight hours a
week during college tetms in addition
to her own work, tahght during the
summer vacations, and finally broi:e,
dOwn completely when within a few
Peeks of obtaining her degree But
r hi L an extreme Case, and the in
ereasing jlemands on 4he side of phy
sical traintIg and right regime are
hopeful aignga.
SThe question is often asked: ''Does
a young woman suffer social ostracism
in college b`ecatise of working to help
herself?" Emphatically, "No." Pov
erty of genial friendliness, poverty of
warmheartedness, poverty of brains,
may be condegned; pecuniary pov
erty never. Very wdlthy girls do
not yet go to college in great num
bers, and the few who do show by
the mere fact of being there that other
things than purse strings or a lack of
them are their concern. Smith is
said to be the college in particular
where girls of large bneans are to be
found; and the generosity which
stamps the prevailing attitude of such
girls towards thb poorer than them
selves in this world's goods is happily
famous.
But above all, a girl working her
way through college must not become
a "grind," or she will be unpopular
among all the students. A "grind"
is not interesting socially, and is gen
erally let alone--not, however, be
cause she is "poor" would this hap
pen.
A college woman naturally wants
to feel herself in touch with al the
pleasant social side of college life,,to
subedrlbe to concert and lecture fund,
share in society privileges, meet col
lege settlement dues, kave occasional
spreads with her friends, and in short,
"be in things" generally. To the stu
dent who has to make $500 do for her
what $700 or $800 do for many an
other, the following rule, formulated
by one who had tried and proved it,
will apply: "First pay as you go, and
have very little money in the purse
you carry about with Epu; second,
never forget that you cannot afford
what many girls can, and pever hesi
tate to say so; apd third, make up
youn mind to enjoy life. even if your
must econo'mize." The samle wom-an
adds: "A girl can go through c~llge
on 1500 a year (~40) b~ing the average
cost of board and tuition), but she
will never succeed in doing this unless
she has to."
Energy will accomplish almost
everything in this vworld. Both evi
dence and ex:;rience prove that a
young woman cnn ma!e her own way
through college. though it is obviouly
less easy for "her. in some respects
than for a your g man. Her most
practical 'method of procedure is to
seek as much help as possible from
scholarships, student aid funds, or
generous friends, at the start, then
having at command the best of her
equipmeqt through previous knowl
edge of teaching, stenography, type
writing, bookkeeping, or any business
experience, keep her eyes open to the
oDportunities likely to be found-and
keep her mind open to the fact that
the perfect performance of mental
work demands a suffieiency of bodily
exercise.-Edith A. Swyer in the
Springfield Republican.

A LIFE SAVED AS BY MAGIC -
An Old Adirondack Guide Tells of a 1
f Remarkable Escape From Freezing.
The Adirondack guide who wants to
retain his patrons year after year I
must know how to tell good stories
around the camp fire, as well as how d
tto guide the greenhorn through the
pathless woods. A grizzled veteran t
I of the forest who had charge of a mix
t ed party of New York City men and °
n women last August had well night ex
hausted his store of "strictly true" d
I anecdotes, and one night was forced
s to draw upon his imagination to sup- r
Y ply the constant demand.
I "I remember well," said he, "years
ago, when I was a young fellow and
before I had learned enough about c
the woods to set up as a guide, that
I got lost in the forest. Darkness r
t came on while I was still trying to re
discover the trail, and as the cold was
S Severe, I decided to camp for the night
e before I became exhausted. To my
a horror, I discovered upon searching
I pay pockets that I had not a single
match left with which to light a fire.
h It had been raining all day, and the
e fallen wood was soaked, so that it was
I- impossible for me to rub two pieces of
1- dry wood together, as the Indians do,
B till they take fire, even if I knew how,
l which I didn't. t
r 'For the second time I searched all
i, my pockets and even carefully exam
ined the lining of my coat and waist
g coat in the hope that some stray
I- match might have lodged there; but
r- all in vain. I did find, however, _a
small Sheet of dry paper. As I drew
i- it forth I felt that my life was saved, I
d for, though I had no match, I had
's thought of a way to set fire to the pa
a per.
1- "Hastily constructing a pile of the
k dryest wood and twigs that I could
)f find, I knelt before it, with the paper
r in my hand, carefully screened from
I- the wind with my body. Seizing then
g a stout and knotty oak stick, like a
1I policeman's club, I struck myself a
o violent blow over the head with it.
d immediately a multitude of bright
I- sparks danced before my eyes. In
s- stantly I passed the paper cautiously
r- back and forth among the sparks. To
.. my joy several settled upon it. I
'e fanned them gently with my breath.
dl- The paper became ignited. Plunging
r- it among the twigs I soon had the joy
>r ful satisfaction of seeing a tiny
e crackling flame kindle there. r
"n 'I was saves! The rest was easy.
is A splendid bonfire soon lit up the
n- gl!dom of the surrounding forest. As I
it bo'hnd up a long scalp wound on the
,3 back of my aching head, I thanked my
el lucky stars for the clever expedient
y which had occurred to me only in the
- nick of time."--New York Tribune.
s SALT AND PEPPER.
e Many Think They are Only of Value
in Seasoning Food.
' salt and pepper, so generally consid
ered, are of value in bringing out the
flavor of the food to which they are
added. That they have any value from
ea Lealth standpoint is not so general
ly recognized. You may know that a
lump of salt is good for a horse, but
y'ou do not stop to consider how im
portant salt is tor your own well-being.
in eastern countries the condiments,
such as pepper, are used to profusion
le in all foods. Gastric troubles com
mon enough in other countries are
conspicuously absent, and the free use
of pepper has much to do with that
fact. Salt and pepper work against
fermentation. When the stomach is
out of order, or, as the common say
ing is, upset, it is in a state of fer
a mentation.
A certain very wise physician who
he as advanced to the point where drugs
seem the unimportant thing and com
mon sense the important in making
Lt the sick well, is advocating the use
of pepper and salt even in a glass of
milk. It improves the flavor to a re
- markable degree, a fact you can prove
re to your own satisfaction by taking
two glasses of milk-one in its origin
Sal simplicity, the other changed by the
Saddition of a pinch of salt and a dash
Sof pepper; then sip a little of each.
The chances are that you will prefer
the seasoned milk. Besides improving
Sthe flavor and overcoming the tenden
cy to;ard fermentation, the pepper
will practically disable any microbes
that may be floating in the fluids, thus
the gastric juices will perform their
o perfect work of changing microbes to
s food.
One of the best remedies for a dis
turbed digestion is hot water, to which
has been added salt and paprika. If
taken a full hour and a half before
breakfast a cupful of this very pala
Stable drink will completely cleanse the
stomach and leave it in good condi
tion. Out of one hundred persons se
lected at random it is no exaggeration
ar to say that eighty eat too much, and
r also that these same eighty fail of
Sproper mastication. Weakened diges
tions are, of course, 'the direct result
Sof overeating and insufficient mastita
tion, and weakened digestion means
undermined systems. At the extremes
ts of life, youth and old age, it is wis
e dom to make the diet much the same.
A child's nourishment should be very
d, simple; so in old age it should grow
plainer and plainer.--Chicago Tribune.
SThe First Canard.
er Here is an explanation of the origin
n- of the phrase "newspaper canard."
•- About fifty years ago a French joufr
it natalist contributed to the press an ex
Id periment of which he declared himself
seto have been the author. Twenty
d, ducks were placed together, and one
rd of them, having been cut up into small
i- pieces, was gluttonously gobbled up
1P by the other nineteen. Another bird
ur was then sacrificed for the remainder,
in and so on, until one duck was left,
ewho thus contained in his inside the
Snineteen! The story "took," and was
iropiod into all the journals of Europe.
sIt has now long since been forgot
ten. bu~ the "canard" has remained
vt n a title.

BLUE BERAD REALLY EXISTED.
The Fantastic Ruins of His Castle a
Still in Brittany.
Blue Beard has existed in reality. i,
To be sure, he had not married seven
wives, but had only one wife and a
daughter, whom he never threatened
with violent death; still, the enormi
ties of which he has been guilty are P
not excelled by the crimes of our hero o'
of the nursery.
The original Blue Beard was Giles P
de Laval, Lord of Rotz, who was made a
Marshal of France in 1492, and in the d
reigns of Charles VI and VII distin
guished himself by his courage against s
;he English when they invaded France. 9
He was born in the castle of Mache- t'
coul, in Vendee, in 1401. In 1420, at n
the age of sixteen, he married Cathe- o
rine de Thouars, a girl of the same
age. A loyal patriot and valiant "
knight, he fought at the side of
Jeanne d'Arc in all the battles against
the English, and until her death, re- P
mained her faithful companion in i
arms. b'
Giles de Retz was the richest man b
In Brittany and one of the richest in g
France. He owned cities, villages and H
towns and castles in Brittany, in An- a
jou and Vedee. His personal property a
was edtimated at over $1,000,000, an g
immense amount in his time. But all a
this fortune was sacrificed to his pas- s
sion for art and literature, music and
the stage. The services which he f
rendered his country might have im- b
mortalized his name had he not for- i
ever blotted his glory by murders, im
pieties and debaucheries, to which he
was led by his ambition to outdo
princes and kings in magnificence,
pomp and power.
In order to build up a new fortune
he became an alchemist. Hle encour
aged and maintained sorcerers to dis- P
cover hidden treasures, andl corrupted
young persons of both sexes that he
might attach them to him, and after
wards killed them for the sake of their
blood for his charms and incantations.
The children disappeared by hundreds
in Brittany and Vendee. At length
he was arrested and, being found i
guilty of numerous atrocities, was sen
tenced, together with his two accom
plices, to be buried alive in a field at
Nantes in 1440.
Giles de Retz, who, at his conviction, Y
was thirty-six years old, is described
as a portly man of high stature and
great muscular strength. His abund
ant, glossy hair was "blond", his eyes
"blue," his swallowtail shaped beard a
as well as his long eyelashes "black."
He was clad all in black. The reflec
tions of this sombre costume mingled
with those of his light hair, and made
his beard appear of a bluish-black
color. Hence his surname Blue Beard,
by which he is known even today
in all those parts of Brittany, Anjou t
and Vendee, where the fantastic ruins
of his castles are still in existence. r
Capital Punishrrent in Japan.
To those who do not fully appreciate
the revolution in Japanese manners
and customs, it may well seem strange
that the sentence of the murderer of
Hoshi Toru, the ex-minister, should
be imprisonment for life with hard la
bor. They might have expected
"something with boiling oil in it." Sir I
Rutherford Alcock, the first British f
minister to Japan, writing some forty
1 years ago, dwelt upon the severity of
the Japanese laws. "The code is prob
s ably the bloodiest in the world. #or
9 death is the penalty of most offenses.
t The Japanese seems to proceed on the
t principle that he who violates one law
9 will violate any other, and that a will
ful violator is unworthy of life." Un
der this regime it was considered a
special privilege to be allowed to exe
3 cute oneself and commit hari-kari, but
S this was reserved for people of rank.
The common people had to be content
3 with the executioner's sword.
Under the criminal code which came
into force in 1882, and which is found.
Sed on the code of Napoleon, death by t
shanging is provided as a penalty for
certain offenses, but of recent years
it has become rarer and may now be
Sconsidered obsolete. Probably the
SJapanese, with their traditional con
Stempt for death regard penal servitude
f or life as a greater punishment. For
Smerly no conviction was made except
on confession by the prisoner, and 1
r there was an abundant use of torture.
SThat, of course, was officially abolish
s ed many years ago, but it was prac
r ticed occasionally at a much later date
a and a case is known in which torture
was undoubtedly applied by the police
at one of the treaty ports in 1891.

The Distinctive Value
of Syrup of Figs is due " its pleasant form and perfect freedom from every
objectionable quality or substai. and to the fact that it acts gently and truly
as a laxative, without in any way disturbing the natural functions. The
requisite knowledge of what a laxative should be and of the best means for its
production enable the California Fig Syrup Co. to supply the general demand
for a laxative, simple and wholesome in its nature and truly beneficial in its
effects; a laxative which acts pleasantly and leaves the internal organs in a
naturally healthy condition and which does not weaken them.
To assist nature, when-nature needs assistance, it is all importaxt that the
medicinal agents used should be of the best quality and of known value and S> rup
of Figs possesses this great advantage over all other remedies, that it does not
weaken the organs on which it acts and therefore it promotes a healthful con
dition of the bowels and assists one in forming regular habits. Among its many
excellent qualities may be mentioned its perfect safety, in all cases requiring a
laxative, even for the babe, or its mother, the maiden, or the wife, the invalid,'
or the robust man.
Syrup of Figs is well known to be a combination of the laxative principles
of plants, which act most beneficially, with pleasant aromatic liquids and the
juice of figs, agreeable and refreshing to the taste and acceptable to the system,
when its gentle cleansing is desired. The quality of Syrup of Figs is due not
only to the excellence of the combination, but also to the original method of
manufacture which ensures perfect purity and uniformity of product and it is
therefore all important, in buying, in order to get its beneficial effects, to note
the full name of the Company-California Fig Syrup Co.-printed on the front
of every package.

Mount Calm Street, Detroit, MNchigan,
Lecturer for the W. C. T. U., recommends
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
S"DEAR MRS. PINKHAM : - My professional work has for the past
twenty years brought me into hundreds of homes of sickness, and
I have had plenty of opportunity to witness the sufferings of wives
' and mothers who from want, ignorance or carelessness, are slowly
i but surely being dragged to death, principally with female weakness
>1 and irregularities of the sex. I believe you will be pleased to know
that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has cured
1, more women than any other agency that has come under my rLtice.
r Hundreds of women owe their life and health to you to-day, and, here
fore, I can conscientiously advise sick women to try it."-M-IARGUURITn
ST. Ouxr BRIGGS.
