LOUIS TO HAVE ODD COL LEGE FOR WORKINQMEN. Wilt Be Modeled After the Oxford, Knglund, Institution Placn Where American Worklagiiicti Slay Got Couracs of Study at Uouic. Two enthusiastic young Americans cauio over here, says a Loudon corre spondent, aud put their time and mon ey luto tho establishment of a novel In stitution that made a good inauy con servative Englishmen smile. The Eng lish worklngmcn, however, didn't smile nt all, but concluded that the American Idea was a good thing, and helped it along. It grow and grew until there was no doubt about Its being a big suc cess, and now, oddly enough, English "workiugmen am raising $20,000 lu shil lings ami pennies to propagato lu the United States tho Idea that originally camo from there, and Incidentally some of tho English worklngmcn arc kicking hard becauso their brethren are dolug this thing. The Idea was to establish a working men's college, to which a man might go or from which he might get courses of study at home. That sounded rather dreamy, llko somo of the economic Ideas of John Ruskln, In whose name tho work was taken up. But It devel oped presently that It waa not the in- tcutiou to make struggling clerks aud professional men out of well-paid lu borors; also, that It was not the Inten tion to give a foolish llttlo smattering of culture, but merely to give working men of whatever age uc conaMtlou such Instruction In hlBtory,- political econi omy, tho principles of politics and the principles of labor movemeuts, co-operation and similar things that would bo of practical help to them lu looking after their own lutcreuts. Tho result was tho establishment of Ituskln Hull at Oxford. A good deal was said about It nt tho time, hut It wob rather generally looked upou 11s a fad, and then forgotten except by those who luul some personal Interest In It. Rut the applications for resi dence lit tho hull at Oxford have from tho first exceeded tho limited nccom modatlous, und two more halls have lately been established lu Rlrmlugham, another at Manchester und uuother nt Ulrkeiiheud, and others are to bo start ed soou. Furthermore, the number of Btudcuts lu the correspondence courses Is already over 1,500, nud is lucrettslng rapidly. To liculu In St. I.o 11 la. Various EuglUh labor leaders fell lu with tho Idea, and tho suggestion seems to havo cotno from some of them that It should be carried back to tho United States. lu consequence, tho general secretary of Rusklu Hall, II. U. Lees Smith, aud two tralued usslstiiuts, will go to St. Louis to establish a Rusklu Hall there, of which Mr. Smith will bo principal. They expect to branch out from there uutll In tlmo every big city In the United States has a branch of this unique college. Two promluent English labor leaders O. W. Dower mou, Secretary of tho London Society of Compositors, aud Juiues Sextou, Secretary of the National Dock Labor ers' Uulou have goue to tho United States to talk with tho labor leaders thero nnd prepare the way for their co-operation. The $20,000 required to start the college In America has al ready been guaranteed, aud a good deal of It has been raised mostly from mem bers of the correspondence class. It has been said that the Rrltlsh trades unions as a body have been backing the undertaking, but this is not the case. The reason for making a beginning In St. Louis doubtless Is that Walter Vrooman, who was the fouuder of the college and supplied the first of the money to sturt It, was a St. Louis man, and was at one time active In politics nnd business there. He and his wife, a Raltlmorean, who Is Interested as much In the new movement as her busbaud, now live In Oxford, and give practically all their time to Rusklu Hall, of whose council Mr. Vrooman Is President. It Is the Intention to open a hall In St. Louis as much as possible like that lu Oxford, and to begin at once a cor respondence school. As soou as the number of corresponding students In any other city seems to warrant It a hall will be established there also, and so on until, for all that the originators can see to the contrary, every Ameri can worklngman from Maine to Cali fornia will have an opportunity to be eoint an undergraduate. And what are theM halls to be like, and how is this monumental scheme to be managed? The best answer can be had through some account of the pe culiar features of the Ilusktn Hall at Oxford. It Is housed in an unpreten tious, four-story structure that was at ono tlmo the rosldeuce of the fifth Duke of Marlborough, and was after ward often visited by John Ituskln while a friend of his lived there. It Is Just beyond beautiful old St. John's College. To nny ono who visits It after revel ing lu nil the luxury of tho ancient seats of learning scnttored all arouud it, It looks hare Indeed. Pino tnbles pre dominate, and not many of the accom panying chnlrs have backs. Workrooms and bedrooms arc furnished In the ut most simplicity. They havo to be, for the total cost of residence, Including h.oard and lodging, Is $2.50 a week, aud the tuition and tutors' fees are 00 cents a week more. Perhaps the queerest feature of tho wholo thing, and a feature that is to bo preserved In the United States, Is that every student lu tho hall Is ex pected to work two hours a day nt cooking, houseclennlng, etc., as no ser vants are kept, and there are no women about the place. That Is how tho cost of residence is kept down to such a iuw figure. Although housework Is not a part of, the curriculum, the men soon becomo experts at it, and there Is a growing suspicion at Ituskln Hall that a man can scrub a lloor more effectively and moro economically than a woman. I OXFOHD 11USK1N 1IA1.L IN HOUSEHOLD had rather counted ou finding a man with a mop lu one hand nud a text book on political economy In tho other, but was disappointed, for tho prevail ing maxim Is, "Ono thing nt a tlmo," Although many of tho students are married nnd occasionally bring their wives to Oxford with tJieiu, the women have to live elsewhere. What They Study. If, as really seems possible, this ex periment Is going to have a marked effect ou tho Rrltlsh nud American worklngman, It becomes Interesting to see what It Is that they aro being taught. The list of fourteen courses Is mndo up of theso brunches: Sociology, lu which special atteiitlou Is given to tho development of modem society nud present social conditions; English con stitution and political history, In which stress Is laid ou the origin nud develop ment of EugllHh government; English Industrial history, covering land Inws and the efforts of tho workers to better their conditions; tho Industrial revolu tion, devoted to n consideration of the mechanical inventions and new Indus- ItUSKIN HAM.

There also are classes In English, French, Ger man, mathematics and logic, as re quired. The first Englishman to enlist In the new movement was the present gen eral secretary, II. B. Lees Smith, who was at that time an Oxford undergrad uate, but has since taken his degree, and will soon cut a figure tn the United ""i?HBfftgi h v States as head of the movement there. He Is ii trim, energetic, smooth-faced young man, who talks like an Ameri can, although he never has been lu thu United States. ELOPEMENT A FAMILY TRAIT. Dosceuicnta of Col.

They are known by various names, but are all due to the same cause, acid and other poisons in the blood that irritate and interfere with the proper action of the akin. To have a smooth, soft skin, free from all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure and healthy. The many preparations of arsenic and potash and the large number of face powders and lotions generally used In this class of diseases cover up for a short time, but cannot remove per manently the ugly blotches and the red, disfiguring pimples.
