Growing Demand For College Men in Business m nil niri thonru tYiat rnllesre -.nen are not adapted to business life j ia rapidly becoming obsolete. A century ago there were two I : I avenues open to the college man, law and the ministry, the dig J nity of the medical profession being deaidedly less at that time ftEffffiMll than now, and the "fourth estate," journalism, was still in iw igLiiBBI infancy. Business, in those iays, was presumed to be fit only for those who could not educate themselves for the proiesiuus. There seemed to be a mutual agreement between collge graduates and heaJ of business houses the former did not want to enter business, the latter aia not want them. This prejudice, which almost amounted to contempt on the part of business men for men with college training, has continued almost down to the present time, but in the last few years there has been a radical change. The attitude of many business men toward college graduates has changed from aggressive hostility to positive friendliness. Where the col ege graduate of a generation tfgo sought vainly for an opening, that he mignt start for less than a living wage and rise on his merits, the man with the diploma finds today that there are innumerable avenues not only open to mm but inviting his attention. In fact, so strong is the demand that one university reports having received six offers of employment for each member of last year's graduating class, and hopes the coming season to surpass that record. In a dav of great business enterprises the trained thinker is a necessity. The man who can think clearly in Greek, Latin and higher mathematics will be able to apply the same reasoning faculties to methods of transportation, production and distribution. One railroad official, who has had experience with the infinite variety of men seeking entrance into one of this country s greatest industries, stated that while the college man entered the office four vears behind the high-school graduate, within another four years the handicap had been overcome and the trained mind was demonstrating Its superior capacity for mastering detail and bringing the affairs of a great corporation into its compass. After that he forged rapidly ahead and the gap between the college graduate and the uneducated man yawned wider every year. The gravest danger is, not that the higher education will unfit men for participation in business life, but that they may gain false ideas of their own importance and the obligation of the world to them, forgetting that all their work so far has been but preparation, and in the battle with the world, which is yet to come, the mere fact of possessing a college diploma will have weight only with the superficial, and that their personal fitness will be the true mea ure of their success or failure. The Circle. Die Delights of Camp Life. By Henry van Dylce UR tenting-nlaces were new every r.igut and torsauen et-iv ing. Each of them had a charm of its own.

The full moon climbed into the sty as we sat 'around our camiCfire, and showed her face above the dark, pointed tree-tops The winding vale was flooded with silver radiance that rested on river and rock and trie-trunk and multitudinous leafage like an enchantment of tranquility. The curling currents aud the falling foam, up and down the stream were glisUning and sparkling, ever moving, yet never losing their position. Tho'shoutiim of the water melted to music, in which a thousand stran an I secret voices, near and far away, blending and alternating from ranid'to rapid ami fall to fall, seemed like hidden choirs, answering one an other from place to place. The sense of struggle, of pressure and resistance, of perpetual change, was gone, and in its stead there was a feeling of infinite quietude of pirficl balance anil repose, of deep accord and amity between tne watching heavens and the waiting earth, in which the conflicts of existence seemed very distant and of little meaning, and the peace of nature prophesied That one, far-off divine event Towards which the whole creation moes. Thus for six davs and n'.ehts we kept company with our little river, follow Ing its guidance and enjoying all its changing mood;;. Srrlbncr's Magazine. The Foundations qf Faith. By Ajrie Repplier.

The whole scheme is to rest on a sound financial basis. "Money ," we are assured, "will not be spared, and what cannot money do? "Si viral millionaire, and scores of prominent busi ness men are ime'rested," and to millionaires and prominent business men Heaven is not likely to refuse its aid. "Wealthy laymen will devote a portion of their time, while traveling next year, to the concerns of Christianity, and wealth has never failed to spiritualize the aspiring human soul. Influential Philadelphians " have given a dinner at a prominent hotel to set the matter going and it has always been through the medium of dinners that the world has been converted to light. ...... m The records of history show how full of promise is this businesslike scheme of evangelization. It as the assured wealth, the sound financial standing of the Apostles which gave them their astonishing success; and every great religious movement the wcrld Has witnessed since lias rested on the same secure foundation. The acute business sense, the admirable acquisi tiveness of St. Francis of Assisi. quickened the hearts of men. Charles Wesley was enabled bv the aid of millionaires and public dinners to evangelize the leneth and breadth of England. There can be no reasonable doubt that the 'Laymen's Missionary Movement," if strongly financed, will at least as Its stockholders claim, give to the People of all lands "an opportunity of know, ing what Christianity stands for.'- It will alas! It will. From Life. Government Regulation gf Railroad Rates By Charles S. Mellen, President of the New York, New Haven and Hartt6rd Railroad. I HAVE always conceded the need of efficient regulation of railroad corporations. It has always seemed to me it would be preieraDie for the corporations and the public that such regulatton be by the general government rather than bj the States, because ot the necessity for a reasonable degree of uniformity in the regula tions for the protection of the public and that they might not conflict so seriously as wouiu oiueiwiae iuhw uuiu i.-i changes of jurisdiction as we cross the State lines. , . Earnestly desiring improvement in corporate management, I have been in favor also of the greatest possible publicity being given to all the acts f . corporations which have been handled in such a way as to cause complaint.. When this subject was first agitated by the President in bis message I thought I saw a new era Pawning in railroad management and an Improved "relationship vassMe between the reasonable portion of the puolic and the carriers. What was needed was regulation, not restriction; protection, not persecu tion; but when the act was available for examination it was found to be revengeful and punitive; drawn either in ignorance or prejudice, with less thought of fairness to the railroads or the interest of the public than to con centrate tremendous power in tho general government not necessary for the : regulation or the elimination of abuses complained of, and which, if constitu tional, gives power to derange established markets to an extent that, if ex ercised, will produce little short of revolution. . - -The public cry has been against discrimination, and yet-those who have to handle th business of the railroads know that In private it Is one great effort on the part of the public to obtain that very thing. If a man ships a carload of freight every day in the year he pays the 'same rate of freight as the man who ships a similar carload once a month, but if a man rides everyday in the yar he must have a lass rate than the man who rides only once a month. You will note, therefore, the public is bound to stop discrimination, even if it discriminates In doing so. - , - ; .

Netting Is an art easily acquired, and is a pleasant pastime for both sexes, the greatest difficulty being to tear oneself away from the fascina tion of the work once the stitch has the eye on one side, then down un der the curve, and up around the point on the other side again. Fill it just enough to keep from slipping' off. Tie the end of th,e cord to a hook screwed in the wall or to any thing convenient, make a loop two or three inches from the end, and you are ready to begin the stitch (Fig. 2). The stitch consists of two move ments, the first to throw the cord around the mesh stick, and putting the needle through the loop you tied, the second to throw the cord to the left, so forming a loop, after running the needle under the mesh in the same direction. (Fig. 3). When you have made it as wide as you wish put a string through all the holes and fasten it to a hook. In the other rows you can keep the loops on the stick all the way across. For fasten ing, tie a knot like one shown in figure four. Singing Kettles. The Japanese, who know so well how to add little unexpected attrac tions to everyday life, manufacture, in a great variety of forms, iron tea kettles which break into song when the water boils. The song may not be a very perfect melody, but it is perhaps as agreeable as the notes produced by some of the insects which the Japanese also treasure for their music. The harmonious sounds of the teakettles are produced by steam bubbles escaping from beneath thin sheets of iron fastened closely together nearly at the bottom of the kettles. To produce the best effects some skill is required In regulating the fire. The character of the sounds varies with the form of the kettle. These singing kettles have been used for many centuries. Youth's Companion. Shortest Way Through. A man in Altoona, the owner of a very fine forty horse power limousine motor car, failed, and while his af fairs were being settled up the car disappeared.

There is just enough movement to prevent your feeling wholly idle, leaving the thoughts to wander over the coming summer sea son when your hammock or tennis net will be put out. Besides, it lends an additional charm to those sought after objects, to know that they are the weaving of your own hand, says the Montreal Herald. It may be too early to start making summer arti cles, but there are still things such as fishing nets, chair seats, and the like,- which may be made for imme diate use. To those who are desirous of start ing, the first thing to be done is to obtain the . netting ' instruments. These latter consist of a needle (Fig. 1 ) and a mesh stick. The needle should be from seven to ten inches long and " one inch wide, - while the size of the mesh stick must be regu lated by the fact that the mesh stick will make a' mesh twice its own size, thus a stick half an Inch square will make a One-Inch mesh and so on in proportion. . i; -. v -'Any youth .at all handy .will be able to make these Instruments for himself, and then the material hav-1 Ing been procured, work may be be gun at once.

This angered one of the creditors, and the first time he saw the bankrupt he took him bitterly to task. "A nice bankrupt," he said.' "How does it happen, if. you're a bankrupt, that you still have that au tomobile?" "Well, you see,". said the other, smiling, "I went through the Bankruptcy Court, but the auto mobile went round."

Every variation of ihe over blouse Is to be noted worn by well dressed women, and here is one that can be treated in such a va riety of ways that It becomes adapted to many occasions and a great many materials. In the illustration it is made of crepe de chine, with trim ming of velvet and yoke of lace, and is all In one, but the yoke can be worn over several sorts If liked, or again the waist can be made sleeve less and worn over any guimpe .or pretty lingerie blouse, or still again the lining can be used as a guimpe and faced to form the yoke, while the sleeves are sewed therein and the waist is finished separately. The prettily scalloped outline is a novel feature, and the straps over the shoulders are very generally becom ing, while the waist is appropriate for almost every dressy material. It can be utilized for the lovely cotton and silk and cotton ones that are now be ing made up for the coming season as well as for silk and wool, and is, The New Raincoat. Some of the new raincoats hare the fulness across the back confined by a close belt that does not cross the plain box front. An fnslde strap Is necessary to hold the garment snug ly about the waist. Plain Colored Scarfs. The long diaphanous scarf in plain, colors which drapes the shoulders, after being caught between the shoul ders at the back, Is fastened again at each side of the bust in front, and falls in long vertical lines nearly to the foot of the gown, where it termi nates in long silk fringe. Scraggy Feathers. $The taste for certain uncouth scraggy feathers is dying out. On the other hand very long couteaux are again to the fore. Eagles' and argus' plumes rank highest, but they have become so rare and are there fore so costly that they are not in frequent use, and the long tail feath ers of the cock pheasant generally take their place. These are some times appliqued with little patches of small plumage imitating the mark ings and eyes of those of the eagle or argus or merely as a means of giving them additional color. Five Gored Skirt. The skirt made with a gathered flounce is always a graceful one, and is Just now greatly in style, while it suits all the fashionable soft mate rials perfectly well. Here is one that is gored at the upper portion, and that shows two flounces joined one to the other which give a distinctly novel effect. In the illustration the material is one of the pretty new foulards in shades of brown and white, but every seasonable material is appropriate, the model being equally well suited to washable ma terials and to those of silk, wool and the various mixtures. The skirt portion is cut in five gores, and each of the flounces Is consequently, quite certain to be In demand. The tucks provide just suf ficient fulness to be becoming, and the sleeves are In the most satisfac tory length, that is, extending just below the elbows. The waist is made with a lining that consists of fronts and backs. If this lining is desired, fitted darts are taken up in the Tfdntsrbut if It is to be used in the guimpe style these are omitted. When the waist is made all in one the lining is faced to form the yoke and the blouse is arranged over it. When a separate yoke Is de sired the lining Is cut off for a por tion of its length, and is adjusted un der the waist which can be either unlined or made over a foundation as liked. In any case the blouse pro per consists of the front and the backs, with the moderately full sleeves that are finished with wide bands. - The quantity of material required for the medium size is three -and a halt, yards twenty-one, three yards twentyrseven or one and three-quarter yards forty-four inches wide, with one and three-quarter yards of velvet ribbon and three-quarter yard of all over lace to make as illustrated.

The two are then joined and the upper is then joined to the lower edge of the skirt. The skirt itself is plain at the front, but gathered at the sides and back, and when liked it can be cut off in walking length.- The quantity of material required for the medium size is nine yards twenty-seven, six and one-half yards thirty-sll or five ' yards . forty-four- inches wide. ; - ' ;, - - Natural Hoed Linen, Cuff and collar j sets . of natural hued linen, hand . embroidered in brown, are among the dressvaccesso rles which Tnay be fought ready for wear, tmd will be a very attractive finish for coats of brown or natural tone linen. .
