WHY AMERICAN WOMEN WALK. “No other women in the world can compare with American women,” said a man who has been living abroad for several years, “in walk ing. The American woman walks by preference. She seems to scorn a carriage, And how she walks ! Her head is held up, her shoulders are thrown back and her step is firm and elastic. Is it any wonder that she has a fine color and that her lips are fresh and her eye clear ? In other countries women ride because they do not feel safe when they are in the street. Here they know that they have every man at their command it they nesd him. You find women in line after line thronging the streets where they go to do their shopping, or in Fifth or Madison avenue, when they are re turning home. I'hey may not know what a blessing their independence is to them, but their, own beauty and the health and vigor of their children in after years are in a great measure due to this love of walking. Save in Fngland, per haps, I have seen nothing like it, and in England the women do not walk as they do here, d'hey are more deliberate and grave, dire cjuickness and strength and fire are missing, dliey seem more like machines, dliey walk for the sake ok tradition, it seems to an American, but here our women walk because they like to walk.”—New York d'ribune. UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA. Mr. W. S. Peckham, '67, in the Newport Mer cury, writes entertainingly of this little-knowm Ehriversity. It was founded over a hundred years ago by constitutional provision, and the site selected for it at Chapel Hill, N. C., was chosen peculiarly with a view to its healthful position— on the top of “a sandy hill in the middle of the State, where the rain vvater disappears almost in stantaneously, and for miles away you look down upon pines that are health-giving.” dlie climate is mild and balmy. Seldom is there any winter, “d'he buildings, like those of Northern colleges of tire grade of Dartmouth, Brown or Amhersfi * * * never had any doors apparently, and do not need them.” Nor have hard blizzards necessitated even the replacing of “windows broken in "war time.” ITie roses bloom all the time in open air, and there is out-door singing in the January evenings, as with us in June. The board and lodging is fabulously cheap ($18 a month) from our point of view, but the students are perhaps even better- fed, for the cooking is excellent. The Univer sity is now feeling the new pulse of growth per vading Crimson, the whole State. —Cambridge Daily POVVER OF THOUGHT. It is the power of thought that gives us the consciousness of our being; and it is the ability to think quickly and decisively that wins every successful enterprise. d'hose who have their minds so under control that in a sudden emer gency they can decide upon an immediate plan of action, always get the best bargains ; make moirey while other meir are failing, and are the men who lead in public affairs. One evening in the city of New York as a daily paper was read);' for press, the printing office took fire, the build ing was burned and thousands of dollars could not repay the damage done. The editor and proprietor left the scene gathered- around him a few short-hand repoj'ters, and though his fortunes were almost ruined by the losses he had just ex perienced, he dictated sufficient editorial material for another issue to be sent to press that same evening. It is needless for us to Say that that man was a successful journalist. Perhaps in this case a bucket of water in the hands .of some cool minded' person would have prevented the con- ilagration. Every day we meet with circum stances in which we are required to think rapidly. It is so in the class-room., It is thus on the ball Like circumstances occur in the de ground, bating hall and us more practically. there is nothing which benefits -Guilford Collegian. ■ - G-. N.
