The comparative universality of cul ture seems to become more and more emphasized with each recurring com mencement seasofu The classification of fresh graduates indicates that more and more It is being sought for its own sake or as a broad foundation for the exercise of any or all of the higher ac tivities of life. There was a time, even within the memory of those now living. when a college or university education meant a preparation for one of the learned professions or the teacher's vo cation. They were to be lawyers or doctors or ministers. A century, or per haps even less, ago the ministry claim ed the lion's share of college graduates. The colleges were the feeders of the divinity schools; to a smaller extent the law schools, and to a still less de gree the schools of medicine. But of this year's graduates of Yale univer sity, 297 will go Into business, 85 will follow the law, 24 will teach and 26 will follow special lines, while the ministry candidates are hardly an appreciable percentage of the whole. This is pretty good indication of where the prizes of life are supposed to lie. It is perhaps not to be deplored that busi ness is acquiring a richer leaven of culture, provided we can believe that culture will inspire business instead of being deadened by it. Yet with college education represented, much more gen erously by men of affairs than was once the case, we find its influence en tering proportionally much less Into public service than formerly, a fact to which Mr. Andrew D. White has Just directed attention. The fact that the great mass of this year's Yale gradu ates are to engage in business seems to us less ominous than that they se lected Napoleon Bonaparte as their ideal historical character. Boston Ev ening Transcript. o KANSAS AND THE FARM HANDS. Kansas is pathetically calling for harvest hands. Unless help is secured soon hundreds of thousands of bushels of precious grain must go to waste This seems to be an annual complaint In Kansas. The state free employment agency Is half buried under appeals from farmers who want men to help gather the crops. The superintendent of the bureau announces that In Ells worth alone 1.000 men are wanted at wages rom 12.25 to $3 a day and their board. At $3 a day the Kansas farm hand can make $18 a week, or about $70 a month and save it. He has no meals to pay for, no room to rent, no car fare to reduce his surplus. Also he may dispense with laundry bills, or at the most provide for about one clean col lar a week. Why are the cities overcrowded with men who are complaining at the hard conditions of life while Kansas is call ing for farm hands and offering to make them rich? Why is Jt necessary for sociologists to keep on writing and lecturing about the awful state of the people in the crowdeed slums when Kansas has space to give away ac companied by premiums and so much fresh, air that the houses have to be chained down? Surely it seems as if a combination might be effected between Kansas and the great centers of civilization that would be beneficial all around. But there Is one great trouble. Kansas has made the mistake of being far, far away from Halstead street and the pleasures of city life that are so dear to -the hearts of the people who are eking out a bare existence In the great metropo lis. Kansas might be able to get hands if they could when the day's work Is done hurry back to their cheerful homes in the gay, bewildering slums. It Is the lonliness of the Kansas night that makes the man who is supporting a family of six on $9 a week in a great city rather bear the ills he has than fly to riches and the necessity of trav eling six miles to get his tobacco. Another unfortunate thing about the Kansas situation is that the harvesting doesn't go on all the year round. How is the man who can make S3 a day Pleases th E COOK during five or six weeks in the sum mer going to secure a princely Income the rest of the year It looks as if the Kansas farmer's only relief will be through the cultiva tion of less territory. Chicago Record-Herald. A GIRL'S INVESTMENT. Bonnie Burnham's Beaming Smile and Its 25,000 Reward. Bonnie Burnham of Whiting, Ind., Is a school girl. She attended the con vent of mercy at Pensacola, Fla., and one day while walking with her mother she noticed an old man sitting on i bench in the sun. Bonnie didn't know the man, but she had a suuny dlsposl tlon and as she passes she smiled pleasantly at him and asked him if ho were enjoying the sunshine. Of course she meant nothing particular by It. It was her nature to be pleasant and so ciable. But the old man enjoyed that good natured smile and pleasant word He was a wealthy man, so far as ma terial wealth goes, but he was poor in deed In another way he had no rela tlves or particular friends. He sought out Bonnie's parents and asked the privilege of' meeting her. As a result of that day's greeting he became a friend of the family. When he died he left Bonnie a fortune of $25,000. In fact, it is something money can't buy a sunny disposition. It cost her noth Ing to be pleasant. Good nature is something that gives happiness to the happy possessor, and to everybody else. It feeds upon itself; and the more it is used for others the better it grows. Probably the old man was enjoying sunshine, but the friendly smile and greeting that Bonnie gave him was something rarer than sunshine. It was the sunshine of a beautiful human soul not yet obscured by selfishness and and foolish conventionality. Some tlrls would have thought it very bad fotm to smile at a stranger and to speak pleasantly to him without th.; l'crmality of an introduction. But Bonnie Burnham didn't. She wasn't that kind of a girl. Her good ness was not tied down- by the bonds f etiquette. It was free and frank. It .m oke right out. She had no thought of !-evard. A smile and pleasant reply r oit s much returned as she expected frotii the old man. The real reward was in her own friendty act. She en joyed being pleasant to others. Now If the old man hadn't left her a fortune of $25,000 we probably would never have heard of Bonnie's smile. That's what gave the story news vali.e to the newspapers.' So the old man did his share In his own pecul'.ar way. He started that Bonnie smll? on its travels around the world. It will spire pleasant thoughts wherever th story is read. It doesn't make so much difference what becomes of the money. eo long as it brings no hirm to Bonnie. We hope it won't do that, although we are a bit suspicious of mony. Too much of it is often a bad thiig. But the smile won't die out. Toledo News Bee. o THE OLD SUBURBAN FACES. I have had seatmates, I have had com panions. In the crowded smoker, in the tardy milk trains; All, all are gene, the old suburban faces. I have been hustling, I have been hur rying. Bolting my breakfast food, gulping down my coffee; Rushing to meet the old suburban faces. I have stood, I have sat down on the coal box, Reading my paper, grumbling like thu others; Watching them scowl, the old subur ban faces. Ghostlike I wander through the crowded coaches. Peering at the strangers that are all about me;. Seeking to find the old suburban faces. Friends and fellow sufftTers, where are ye all? Is this some other planet? Or am 1 dreaming? Where have they gone, the old subur ban faces? Ah, yes, I see it all. I've missed the dummy. And caught a through train, filled with rank outsiders They're on ahead, the old suburban faces.

Philadelphia Record. FROM BOOTBLACK TO B. A. Record of C W. Wood, the Negro, Just Graduated From Columbia. From a Chicago bootblack to a Co lumbia university bachelor of arts is the record of Charles Winter Wood, the negro who received his degree last week. Mr. Wood had already won oratorical honors in the West. He-will go to Tuskegee Institute this fall to continue his work at the head of the English de partment. , Fifteen years ago, while blacking boots and selling newspapers on a Chi 'apo street corner, he attracted the at tentlon of Judge Jarvis Blume by quot Ing Shakespeare while he polished lr. dustriously on the lawyer's shoes Judge Blume became Interested and salr: "Say, Charlie, I'll give you a dollar if you'll learn the ghost scene from 'Ham let.' " The colored boy quickly consented. and on going to the lawyer's office to earn his dollar he found a roomful of Judge Blume's friends, who were pre pared for amusement. He recited the scene in a way that astonished his aud itor, and Induced Judge Blume to un dertake his education. Dr. D. K. Pearson, who has aided many struggling colleges in this coun try, and the Rev. Dr. Frank W. Gun. saulus, the Chicago preacher, later be came interested In Wood and he was sent to Belolt College, Wisconsin, to be educated. During his course there his dramatic and oratorical ability became so mark ed that he was chosen a the Wlscon sin representative in the Interstate ora torlcal contest at Galesburg in 1895, winning second place. William J, Bryan, who was one of the judges. marked him 100 per cent. Eight years after he forsook his boot- blacking outfit and newspapers for books he appeared as Oedipus in Soph odes' tragedy when it was presented in Central Music HalU Chicago, by the Greek department of Belolt College. Mr. Wood was graduated from Belolt College in 1895 and from the Chicago Theological Seminary in 1S98, and the same year was engaged by Booker T. Washington as head of the English de partment at Tuskegee. In 1901 Mr. Washington selected him for the John Crosby Brown scholarship at Columbia, from which Institution he has Just been graduated. New York Sun. o FORGOTTEN GENIUSES. Mention the telephone, and instant ly the names of Bell and Edison come before the mind's eye. Speak of wire less telegraphy, and one immediately thinks of Marconi. The name of Santos Dumont is as closely connected with the flying machine as that of Robert Stei li aison with the locomotive. Yet there are Joasens of things, big and little. which are a part of our daily life, of Vt orizin of which we never think: c, if we do, we fail to connect them with '.he names of their Inventors men as worthy of praise as any of the world's benefactors. When our grandmothers were ycun;?. pin money was a necessity, not a figure of speech. Pins were sold at four a penny. It Is to the forgotten Samuel Slocum. an Englishman, that we owe the cheap pins of today. In 1?30 the idea came to him that pins, which were then made by winding a fine wire tn the head and fastening it to the jiost of the pin. might be made at a single operation. But, strive as he would, he could not perfect the idea. At last he shut himself up in a room in his house In the Isle of Wright and remained there eight days, seeing no one and having his meals passed in to him. At the end of that time he had every de tail perfectly worked out, and In 1831 the manufacture of the modern pin commenced. A few years ago, comparatively speaking, every one laboriously laced his boots from the lowest hole to the top. There was none of that lightning crossing of the laces into the neat lit tle hooks with which the modern lace boot is provided. The inventor of the boot-hook, H. A. Ship, who was born in London more than seventy years ago, is at present ending his days in an : almshouse. He sold his patent out-1 right for the sum of f50, and the pur chasers are said to have made 250.000 out of the Idea. It Is less than a century ago that al most all the world's cooking was done over the open fire. Joints were roast ed on a spit. Bread was baked in a brick oven, tediously heated with wood. For puddings and cakes the portable Dutch oven was the only contrivance known. In great houses elaborately built-up ranges of brick, with iron tops, were just beginning to be used. The small compact range or cooking stove seen today in every kitchen was un known. There is probably not one per son in ten thousand who could say, if asked, who Invented the cooking range. His name was Josiah Reed, and he died only four or five years ago at the age of ninety-two. His great invention, which revolutionized domestic life, brought him neither fame nor fortune. Thomas Kilpatrick died about a year ago. He worked a reform in modern city life second to none among the in ventions of the past half century. He was the builder of the first modern flats. It was about thirty-five years ago that the idea came to Kilpatrick, who was a builder by trade, of erecting an edifice, each separate floor of which should constitute a separate dwelling. The idea caught on at once, and now there are large areas in most great modern cities where fifty to seventy five per cent of the Inhabitants are fiat dwellers. Englishmen who are town dwellers ride in trams every day, and if asked what is the origin of the word they usually attribute it to Benjamin Out ram, the Derbyshire man, who first in vented the flange for keeping the wheel on the rail. This is quite a mistaken idea, "Tram" is the old Swedish word for wooden sledge, and the world owes the successful modern tram almost en tirely to John Warren, a Manchester man. Before his time George Francis Train, had laid tram lines in London. But these were built with high rails like thooe usd on railways, and constituted fcucli desperate danger to traffic that uie vestries had them all torn up. Mr. Warren devised the flush-rail system, built the first tram to run upon it with his own hands, and within fourteen months from the time he commenced operations' had 900 pople at work mak ing the trams, and another 1.500 run ning them, and looking after his horses, of which he owned 4,000. He hade a fortune out of his enterprise, and so did another almost unknown inventor, Robert Scrope, To Mr. Scrope we owe the Invention of the brown boot, or, at any rate, its first practical adoption. Within twelve months of commencing the manufac ture Mr. Scrope had tweny branches at work, employing some thousands- of men. In all the world's history there is no more startling Instance of Ingratitude and forgetfulness than the history of Henry Cort. He expended the whole of his private fortune of 20,000 in perfect ing his Inventions for puddling iron and rolling it Into bars and plates. Then he was robbed of the fruits of his toil by the villainy of certain English gov ernment officials, and ln-the end left to starve. This was In 1784. Since that date Cort's Inventions have conferred upon England an amount of wealth equivalent to 700.000,000, and given constant employment to about 600,000 workmen for the past four generations When the first British railway was built from Stockton to Darlington, the trains were signaled at night by p. can die burning In the station window Without the modern system of sema phore signaling the express service of railway communication which we en joy today would be an impossibility, Yet the very name of the Inventor of the method of working semaphores from a distance has been forgotten. It is said that this idea originated in the contrivance of a porter on the London and Northwestern Railway. Having two signals at some distance apart under his charge, he conceived the happy notion of counter-weighing the handle of one and attaching to it a clothes line so that he could work It from the other. An inspector saw the Ingenious device and elaborated it, with the result that signal cabins were es tablished all over the country. The name of Mcintosh is commemor ated forever In the waterproof gar ments which have. In the country at least, almost superseded the umbrella. Yet an article in the "Annals of philos ophy," dated 1818, proves that it is an other man we ought to thank, instead of Macintosh, for the blessing of the waterproof. In the article referred to Prof. Syme announces his discovery of the powers of benzine to dissolve India rubber, and tells how he rendered a silk cloak and other garments perfectly waterproof by brushing them over with a thin solution. In 1770 Captain Planter a Swiss officer of engineers, after years of patient ex perimenting, produced a steam car riage which ran on the ordinary road. Twelve months later a French engineer, whose name has been forgotten, im proved upon Captain Planta's machine, and produced an automotor, which he exhibited before Louis XV and his court at Versailles. It is this machine which still stands in the Paris Conser vatoire. o SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY . The Yale University corporation at the May meeting approved the recom mendations of the academical profes sors to extend the elective system into the freshman year by allowing each freshman to choose five out of eignt courses of study, and to allow the sub stitution of advanced work in mathe matics or modern languages 'in place of Greek for admission to college. The new reouirements for admission whicn will go into effect in 1904. leave Eng lish, ancient history and Latin un changed, but will allow Greek to be whniiv nr in nart sucerseded by an ad ditional amount of mathematics or by thorough knowledge of either r rencn or German. In the freshman year the 'i:rht courses open to the class, five of which must be elected, are Greek, Lat- n. French, German. English, mathemat ics, chemistry and history'- It is requir ed that three of the five courses elect ed must be in continuation of the five studies Greek, Latin, English, mathe matics, or a modern language already pursued in the preparatory school. m m An pxhihition will be held In DInant. Belgium, in August and September with he object of reviving an interest in the indent copper industry, for which it was formerly celebrated. Telegraph poles, the lower ends of which have been soaked in creosote. last more than thirty years; In Ireland there are some erected in lSob, and sun i good condition. Although lately thought to be dying. the famous tree In the gardens of Gray:a Inn, London, planted by Fran cis Bacon, has revived, and is in full bud. In one of the streets of Vienna work men, have dug up part of the stone flooring of a Roman house dating from the third century. On January 1, 1903, there were 16,658 insane persona in Scotland. The alarm ing growth in the number of cases is largely attributable to alcoholic ex cesses. Parisian children are to be instructed in the appreciation of works of art in the schools by means of reproductions of well-known masterpieces. On June 30, 1902, out of a total mile age of 22,588 miles of street railways In this country, about 21,920 miles were operated by electricity. The catching of snakes and the col lecting of their venom, which fetches $1 per grain, is a new industry in Aus tralia. During the decade 1893-1903, the bud get of the Russian empire increased from 1,000,000 to 2,000,000 rubles. o DANGER FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK. Cases of fatal electric shock are. for tunately, of rare occurrence, and are mostly confined to those employed in the generation and distribution of elec tricity. It is difficult to ascertain the minimum strength of current which H dangerous to life as there is so much variation in the effect according to the circumstances attending the shock. Currents of thirty to forty milli-am-peres are probably as much as can be borne without great discomfort, al though we find it stated that for medi cal purposes, and, of course, with due precautions, as many as 200 milli-am-peres can be safely passed through the human body. The effect Is, however, modified so much by the state of health of the individual, by the length of time during which shock has been inflicted, and by the path which the current has taken through the body, that no definit safe limit can be positively laid down. As a general rule, writes Archibald Wilson In Cassier's Magazine, the re sistance of the human body is normally so h'gh that with pressures not exceed ing1 BOO volts- accidental contacts are rarely fatal shocks, although occasion ally the portions of the body on which contact is made are severely burnt. The few fatal accidents which have oc curred at low pressures appear to have been attended by a body resistence fur below that usually met with. The ef fect of a shock may also be to caue such muscular contractions that the victim is unable to let go of the conduc tor which he has grasped, and, if helo Is not at hand, death may result from the prolonged application of a current which, if it had been only momentary, might have been comparatively harm less. On the other hand, there are pn record cases of shock at pressures of 'several thousands of volts In which death has not resulted. The ultimate cause of death, when due primarily to electric shock, is gen erally considered to be stoppage of th action of the heart or of the respiratory organs. That the latter may be afTect el is shown, by the fact that victims of electric shock are sometimes brought to by practice of some of the well known methods of artificial respiration. The cessation of the heart's action may be due to stimulation of the nerves which control the beating of the heart: these, when stimulated to excess, may cause the heart to stop altogether. o THE NEW MAN CARRIER. A "Comer" In Its Line the New Motor Cycle Is Believed to Be. Signs multiply that there is stealing !nto people's habits a machine for transportation useful beyond compari son with the automobile or that won der of mechanical success, the ordinary blcycle. We refer to the moter cycle, or power bicycle, concerning which we observe a most instructive and confi dent article In the World's Work for July, by a member of the British Par liament, Henry Norman, noted in jour nalism and for interest in automobiles. According to Mr. Norman there is much to be Improved In the motor cycle now obtainable, but as it stands it is a machine quite near enough to perfection to be both practicable and agreeable. Its already proven useful ness may be expected to broaden im mensely with the development that is sure to come. The price of this ma chine is now about $200. and Mr. Nor man thinks that this ought to be much reduced. The total yearly cost, credit ing $40 to a sinking fund, is $119. and on the basis of a performance of 200 miles a week all the year round, this repre sents a cost of about 30 cents a day. or about a cent a mile, "ineomparabij the cheapest method of independent rapid locomotion since the world was created. At the same time this ma chine, which may be relied upon to average 200 miles a week, is capable of going fifty miles an hour. Only dwellers in the country V-"- the eacrmous use that is today made of the bicycle, particularly by working- men going to and from their work. To-' day, says Mr. Norman, a man can Hv at most five miles from his employ ment. With the motor bicycle, his home may ba fifteen miles away, and these extra miles will make great dif ference in rent and the health of hi family. Who has suggested a better solution of the alarming "urban" question, or the concentration of population in th? great cities? We don't wonder that Mr. Norman, whose judgment on the subject is entitled to high respect, be lieves that within a few years motor bicycles and tricycles will be sold by "hundreds of thousands" and that "many of the social and industrial con ditions of our time will be greatly and beneficially affected by them.
