"Ob,»that Isn't what I wish to gothere for.' I want to see, a girl I amsweet ou. She has turned me downsince she got the feminine craze, andthere's nothing for me to do exceptto beard the lioness*In her den.1

•Bnt do they allow men visitors aitho college?"

Ob, I understand that the collegedoors haveu't auy more objection tomen than to women; but, of course,no college for women permits the un-dergraduates to receive young menwhenever they like. We bad bettergo aa Inspectors of the institution witha view to writing It up, thus Advertis-ing1 It and' Inducing. others to foundcolleges for a similar purpose. X willpalm myself off as a magazine writer.You might tell them that you are-prin-cipal of a young ladles*, seminary anddesire to educate your pupils to fill tbomost exalted positions.'

"That's all very welL But do yousuppose they're going to be fooled Intothinking that n man of my age. wouldbe trusted with the education of younggirls?"

"You can make up for any age youlike. Forty will do. Your prematurebaldness will help, and you can paint afew crow's feet at the corners of youreyea."

"Won't they spot the paint?""Not ;lf H Is carefully: done, and I

propose to make tho visit after dark."A few days later .William Har-

grave Spencer, the magazine writer,received In reply to a notajte tad writ-ton to the president of the C. A. G. W.an Invitation to visit that Institutionand to bring with him Bryant pother.spoon for an Inspection, of the Institu-tion.

On a certain evening the two gentle-men, apparently betweenforty and fiftyyears of age, appeared at the house ofthe president t>f the college and werereceived by her with consideration, shebeing greatly Interested lit getting freeadvertising for the Institution. Theyhad prepared a number of questions,,which they asked, and made notes oftlie replies.- After exhausting the sub-lect Tom said: '

"As principal of a young ladles/ senv•Inary I have found it possible'to putmy school In a favorable light to visi-tors. On one occasion I turned a visi-tor over to a committee of the girls;and the .visitor afterward told me ofcertain Irregularities that needed to becorrected. Since then I bave alwaysturned visitors over to others. May Isuggest, without my motive being mis-construed, that Mr. Spencer and I bepermitted to be shown over your- Insti-tution by ono or two of your under-graduates?"

Tbo president acquiesced, though notlth a good grace In this, and*two

roung ladles were assigned to the duty,*>ne of them assumed tbe lead)* acting

as spokesman and giving a lecture asshe passed along with the Inspectors,She was not a beauty, but wan admlra-ily fitted for what Bhe was doing,' Theither girl had" evident.? been selectedt haphazard. Jim was busy conooctlng[uestlons that she could not answer—

nor could any one,elseL for that matter1

—with a* view to getting rid of, her,Tljls put her in a bad humor, when Tomsaid to her: . _ • • • '

men were [wnnltted to look"1 tDtroom, where they, saw a woman Psor on a dais lecturing to a nurolyoung women. Between the openingand the shutting of tbe door tuesewords were heard: :

"Up to the time of the accession orGeorge IV. England had beea a consu-tutloual monarchy, tbe sovereign beuiSusually a crackbralned man.the contemptible Georges itchanged Into a virtual republic.its most glorious half century wasder tho rule or that greatest of all itssovereigns, a woman, Victoria.".

When the door was closed Tom sug-gested that "now England bid K°t an-other George It had fallea Into a re-lapse." . .

"Not a bit of It," retorted Unrt Grls-wold. "Since Victoria there has beenno need of a sovereign. Victoria taughtthe English people ,to govern, them-Belves. That's something no man coulddo." .

'Women are our natural governors,"remarked Jim.

The party emerging on to the compos,Jim asked:

"What's that building with a domeon It?"

"That's t h e . astronomical observa-tory."

'We must see that, of course," saidTom. , '

"The night being cloudy, no observa-tions can be made. There's no onethere to receive us," said Laura.

"Well, now," said Jim, "that's Justthe reason for our going there. I musthave a look at Venus."

'Shut up, Jim," said Tom. "If anyof tho donu heard that remark the re-sult would be serious."

The'party were some time passim:over the campus, for they were com-paratively free from observation, but:he boys hoped for greater privacy Inthe observatory, so they ascended tothe dome. Laura turned on a light,thus giving a view of the"'telescope.There Jim and Laura went out on tothe roof for a conference, leaving theother two where they were.

While the couples were separatedMisa Euphemla Marston, the astrono-mer, seeing a light in the dome of tbeobservatory, mounted the^stalrcaseleading to It, and, since a woman'sshoes are not usually noisy, she wasnot heard by tbe inmates until §he hadentered.the room. Tom and Luellafortunately were sitting in dose com-munion behind the stone pier on whichthe telescope rested, and tbe lady didnot see them. Going to a box of eye-pieces, she was bending over It, un-mindful of their presence. Turn gave acough/and the professor, strathtentn3up, looked around. Luella advancedand, somewhat ill at ease, told MbsMarston that she was showing thetelescope to a-visitor.

Tho lady received Tom with courtesyand entered into a lung explanation ofthe, different parts of the inHtniment

Meanwhile Jim and Laura had beardthe conversation In the dome andlearned of the approach of the astron-omer. The' professor's presence, withJim and Laura being out on the roof,was not without danger, and Laura didnot know whether to put on a boldfront and enter the dome or wait'forthe .astronomer's- withdrawal. Think-ing that' Miss Marston would not re-main long, she adopted, tbe lattercourse.

But the astronomer found Tom soappreciative of her explanation of tlieparts of the telescope and Its'.generaluses that she showed no.disposition toleave. Then Laura and Tom were hor-rified to see a rift In tbe clouds and thismoon appear. If the astronomer sawthe moonlight'sh"o would lift tlie nbut-ter of t b * dome and-make olwrva-Jons.

'I have It," said Jim, and, taking offhla coat, be held it against the onlywindow in the dome that the moonlit-tit"onld BIIUIO through.

But his game did not work. Sudden-ly.tbe shutter.waa lifted and the dome'[>egan to turn.

I TEXT—Instead of the thorn shall comeup the fir tree, and Instead of the briershall coma Up the myrtle tree.—Isa. 6501

In this verso we have a striking lea-aon on the substitutions of grace. It

would bo a gooddeal to dig up thethorn, and ' cutdown : the briers,but God does farmore. He substi-t u t e s , f or t h ethor_b-B_ the talland beautiful ilrtree, and for .thehateful briers thegraceful myrtle.

Occasionally astudent comes toour office after astay ot a fewdays, and Informsus that he Isnbout to leave the

school. When we Inquire for the rea-son, he answers tlmt _e does not liketho teaching. Whea pressed for aaexplanation, be Bays, "Well, you donot teuch tlie doctrine of eradication.**

'And what do you mean by thatl"'I mean that God removes the roots

of sin from our nature, BO that onewill not eln, and your school does notteach-that doctrine, .does HI"

"No, but we teach something; farbetter."

'What do. you mean? I did notknow tlmt there was anything betterthan tho eradication" of sin."

"Oh yes, the substitution of graceIs far superior. Instead of digging outtbe roots of sin, God plants In our na-ture tho germs of grace, which over-run, and In tlmo run out the seeds ofcvlL 'Instead of the thorn shallcome up the flro tree, and Instead ofthe brier shall como up the myrtle.'"

Luth'er Burbank takes the prairiecactus, whoso sharp thorns are theterror of man and beast, and convertsit Into a nourishing food, oa which thocuttle fatten and flourish. "What wasonce a thing to be dreaded Is now ameans of support. . - - •

The applo treo which once borenothing but sour and bitter fruit, smallIn size, and rough la appearance,: bythe simple process of grafting caa bomade to produce apples which orelarge, sweet and luscious. It Is thesame old tree, but a new principle hasbeen introduced, and that new naturedominates and determines -tho wholeoutput of the tree. I once saw a lemontree In California which had beengrafted until It was bearing; 22 differ-ent kinds of luscious fruit.

What Burbank and others are doingIn tho rcnlra of nature, God Is con-tinually doing in the realm of grace,lie', docs not destroy the treo whichbears bitter fruit, but ho grafts intoIt the grace that is la Christ Jesus,nnd soon that tretf Is rich.and beau-tiful with all the fruits of the Spirit

"Thou art Simon," said Jesus, thofirst time he met him, and Simon lahis circle of friends was a fiynonymfor fickleness, and Instability. Butknowing what grace could'do for that

~blg-henrted flshermnn, Jesus added,"Thou ehnlt bo called Cephas," whichmeans "a rock," and Is a symbol offirmness. Peter finally reached thopoint..where ho could truthfully saythat he was kept by tho power of Godthrough faith unto salvation.

James and John were so hot tem-pered and violent that they were sur-named MBoanerges"—sons of thunder,but grace led ono of them to die as amartyr, and tho other to be called theapostle of love. What God has donofor others, ho will do for us. Ifthere are thorns of selfishness andbriers of envy or malice In our char-acter,'we must not. bo satisfied withtheir extermination, but ask God togive us .the yery opposite of these, thelove which suffered Ion? and Is kind,whlcli envleth not and la not puffedup. . . . . . _ •_

Where the thorns of criticism'andfaultfinding grew, there let us claim atall and stately growth of generouspraise; and heurty appreciation. Letus never bo satisfied with overcomingthe petty faults and foibles of ourcharacter, but osk God also to adornour lives with all the graces aud Tlr--tacs that are In Christ Jesus, Instendof tho briers, tho beautiful myrtle, thegraceful fiinllax, and tho sweet-scentedarbutus.

It may bo that there aro some thornsIn our own environment, as well as inour character; some tilings which arohard to bear, ond painful to endure.God can change these thorns - Intoroses, these painful conditions into asource of gratitude and praise. Paul'had a thorn in*his flesh, and so per-haps havo you—a disagrecablo em-ployer, lor an uncongenial roommate.Paul found God's graco sufllclent' tochange tlmt painful thorn Into hisgreatest blessing, nnd so may youand I.

Christ by his resurrection has evearobbed death of lts^stlng and convert-ed It Into a gateway to, heaven. Yes;grace Is sufficient for. all things.

There is much comment in townover the evideut design of theBoard of Aldermen to make polit-ical capital for themselves to thedetriment of the efficient Collect-or of the taxes by placing the list

. of delinquent taxes in the handsof the police for collection. TheCollector has the law of the Stateback of him in the matter of taxcollection and no official that weknow of in the State has enforcedit with more persistency and withgreater success than he has. Theaction I'B nothing less than a re-flection on the Collector, especial-ly in view of its not being .neces-sary until the Collector had notproceeded according to the lawand the duties of his office.

any effort to laud the State for thework accomplished in that time.That Dr. Evans has been a prom-inent figure in the accomplish-ments at Morris Plains in • tue

• upon.

It was so quiet in town on Tues-day, the contrast to grim war wasgreat; but it was not only a pa-triotic act to register, but ftsolemn one.

WHY IS INDUSTRY LIKE1 A THREE LEGGED STOOL?

For a Solution ol th. Conundr"-, R,,dth. Following T.rM InUrv'w..

Andrew Giriicrfe. who Hlure hi* iDtlreinout from n.tlvo life lux devotedUlinaeu? to the mudy of Iniiuiu, re|alions, was recently nuked which heconsidered the moat Iniiwrtant factorIn Industry—labor, capital or brains?Tho canny Scot replied,.with a mcrrrtwinkle In his eye:

"Which Is the most Iniportnnt leg ofa three legged stool?"

for all the factors In Industry thereIs a ti\blold sermon In the steel inan'aterse reply, n sermon which bringshomo more effectively t l M , any length,dlscu«Hlun,couM possibly do. the Interdependence of employers and em-ployees and the necessity for theirworking together wl lhthe public toprotect tho prosperity of Industry •

But Mr. Carnegie Is only one of thomany authorities who.havo-1ald strewupon this theme. Judge Elbert UGary, chairman of the board or dlr»>tors of tho United States Steel corpora-tlon and president of tbe AmerlcnnIron and steel institute, recently ex.pressed tho same Idea from anotherviowpolnt-namcly, the value of loyal-ty In employees and the necessity forcultivating this loyalty. • > '

"It is Veil." said Judge Gary, "forthe largo -number of employers to bear*

to the allies, aito be utilized Tor tbe do.

•nestle purposes. Thinking tbat Itwould be a fab* proposition to dividethla latter sum between loans andtaxes, he concluded that tbe "amountto be raised by taxes waa 11,800,000.-000. . . ' . " .

There are two extreme theories, eachof which may be dismissed with scantcourtesy. The one Is that all war ex-;penditures should be defrayed by loans,and the other la tbat all war expendi-tures Bhoold be defrayed by taxes.Each theory Is untenable.' i t Is Indeed true that the burdens or

the war should be borne by the pres-ent ratber than the future generation:but this does not mean that they shouldbe borne by this year's taxation.

Meeting nil war expenses by taxationmakes the taxpayers In one or twoyears bear the burden of benefits tbatought to be distributed at least over adecade within the same generation. .

In the second place, when expendi-tures approach the gigantic sums ofpresent-day warfare, t i e tax-only pol-icy would require more than the totalsurplus of social income. Were thisabsolutely necessary, the ensuing bav-oc In tho economic life of tbe communi-ty would have to be endured. Buiwhere tho disasters are BO great andat tho same time so unnecessary, thetax-only policy may be declared Im-practicable. *

Secretary McAdoo had the right In-stinct and highly commendable cour-ago In deciding that a substantial por-tion, ~at least, of the revenues Bbouldbe derived from taxation. But whenhe hit upon the plan of 60-50 per cent,that is, of raising one-half of all do-mestic war expenditures by taxes, thequestion arises whether he did not gotoo far. • •

The relative proportion of loans totaxes Is after all a purely businessproposition. Not to rely to a large ex-tent on loans at the outset of a war laa mistake. *

DisadvanUgss of EXCM.1V. Taxes. -Tho disadvantages of excessive taxes

at the outset of tbe war are aa follows:1. Excessive taxes ou consumption

will cause popular resentment. 2. Excessive taxes ou Industry will

disarrange business, damp enthusiasmand restrict the spirit of enterprise atthe very tune when the opposite Isneeded.

3. Excessive talxes on Incomes will de-plete the surplus available for Investments and Interfere with the placing ofthe enormous loans which will be nec.es-sary In any event

4. Excessive taxes on wealth willcause a serious diminution of the In-comes which are at present largelydrawn upon for tho support of educa-'.lonal and philanthropic enterprises.Moreover, these sources of supportwould be dried up precisely at tho tunewhen the need would be greatest

6. Excw.lv. taxation at th. outMt ofth. war will raduc. th . auuticity avall-abl. for th. Incnasina d.msnda thatara «oon to corns.

Filially I fouud a woman whowas fairly satisfactory, and I Insistedon parting: with" Margaret, for I knewthat she wished to spend her time pre-paring for her wedding. I felt that.Iwas losing n companion rather than aservant, and she seemed to hav£ form-ed some attachment for me. - ., "Let mo know when the wedding Ista como off," 1 said.

**But I fear," he said, -"that,8he will- be above her work. She Is evidently

not of the servant class. I can't ex-actly make out to what class she be^longs; but, from her personality, leav-ing out the, fact that she is a serv-ant, I would place her well up in thesocial scale. I don't believe she wiltbe satisfied to remain Ions with you.'

"If she plants a garden Bhe will have. to remain with me," X replied, "till she

haa gathered her crop."Margaret Showed no disposition to be

dlssatlaQed with her worlc.fi.Q lpnfe aswe were In the city nor, for that mat-ter, ever displayed such dissatisfac-tion. True, I treated her with moreconsideration than I had ever treateda Bervant before. But she did notexact such consideration and was al-ways perfectly respectful to me, thoughshe never c addressed me aa "ma'am."It was always "Yes, Mrs. Ackerman,"and "No, Mra. Ackerman." \--' '

On the 16th of April my maid left mefpr the country. I supposed that shewould fear to sleep alone in the bouse,but Bhe Bald Bhe might hare a sisterwith her some of the time, with mypermission. This I of course granted.We missed the delightful meals Mar-

. garet prepared for us, for she was thebest cook I ever knew. I was.gladwhen the time came to follow her,

.thougtr-my husband said that If shewere to make a fanner of herself shewould deteriorate aa a cook.

When I reached my cottage I foundMargaret domesticated. She was alone,her sister having gone away the daybefore my arrival. What was iny sur-prise to. see two-thirds of the ground

.laid out for a garden and a few sproutshere and there. I asked Margaret whohad turned over the ground, and Bhesaid she bad hired a farmer in tboneighborhood to plow It and a friendof hers had leveled It She had donethe rest herself.

"What have you planted, Margaret?"I asked. • -. .. "I have pot In a variety In that cor-

- ner," she said, pointing, "for your ta-ble; tbe rest haa been given up to po-tatoes."

"Potatoes!" I exclaimed; "What doyou propose to do with so many po-tatoes?" *

"Sell them. You aee, Mrs. Acker-man, that the world's war la reducingthe earth's products. Not only willthis tend to raise the price .of food,but speculators wlll^make this an ex-cuse to hoard their products, whichwill greatly enhance the marke-fValue.I have put In this crop on speculation."

I was astonished. A servant girlhad secured a situation that broughtwith It a piece of ground and had usedIt to enter upon a speculation. Heraction was predicated upon sound rea-soning and business principles. Myhusband's prediction that I would findher above her business was true Inone.respect, but false in'another. Sheknew her place aa a Bervant, but wascompetent to act In a far wider field.

. As the weather warmed the vegeta-bles In Margaret's garden camo up, andBlnco both the soil and the weatherwere admirably fitted for the growth ofpotatoes there was every prospect ofher securing a fine crop. Tbe stalkswere not too luxuriant, and Margaret!said she did not fear that tbe cropwould be mostly stalk with few potatoes. The corner that she had plantedfor our private use gave ua such a .va-riety of vegetable' food *a one couldenjoy.

And this corner was pf espoclal satis-faction to as because by midsummerMargaret's calculations on prices hadregun to Bbow themselves correct We•ould not buy vegetables even from the

-rfarmer« about us at priceu we couldafford to pay, and, as for potatoes,when the oldyeurVBtock bad givenout one would nave been obliged to go

- without them had,we not bought thefew we needed from Margaret.

When the summer waa drawing to anend a man drove up In a wagon onemorning and asked if Margaret Bayleswas In, Margaret wan out.In tbe gar-den, and 1 uont him there. Later Xsaw him dlgglug tho potatoes', puttingthem In gunny sucks and loading themon to tho wagon. I tlfd notndllce them^n's appearance particularly, but howore a slouch felt bat ant a pair ofovwills. I don't know how manyIdaus of potatoes he teok away withhim, but bo was all da£ at the work.
