Aa Australian's Book lu Boston.
An Australian woman has written a
book about Boston. It must be inter
esting If not valuable, judging by the
following extract from a review of it
published in a Melbourne paper:
“Australians who read the book will
get a fair idea of a center which has

es to comprehend American literary
development. Containing as It does

The Book Buyer in publishing this

Collette Statistic«.
Somebody has been gathering college
statistics, nnd It Is found that there
are In this country 44 universities or
colleges which contain more than 1,000
students eneli. Fourteen of these In
stitutions have more than 2.000 stu
dents each, and in each of six lead
ing universities there an* more than
3.000 students. These six are: Harvard,
4,288; University of Michigan, 3,700;
Minnesota. 3.410; Georgia, 3,295; Chl-(
cago, 3,183. nnd California, 3,025.

students this year; Cornell, 2,77^;;
Pennsylvania. 2.507; Yale, 2,542; Ct>-
lunibla. 2,521, and Princeton, 1,30V.
There probably are over 100,000 stu.-
dents in tlie various universities an»|
colleges of America at present, anjd
the whole number of persons who afe
being educated in the schools and col
leges combined is given as 16,738,203.
Asid«* from all other considerations
this general tendency toward educa
tion means one thing—labor l’n this
country must be dignified socially, it
is going to be Impossible for all the
boys and young men who arp now In

Earth Hunger the Can«? of War.
The greatest wars in history have
really been commercial wars. The lie
role struggle to the ilettth of the an
cient world between Rome and Car
thage was for the control of the trade
of the Mediterranean, and the wars of
modern history were fought In the
main to secure the command of the
lending trade routes. Our long wars
with Spain, France and Holland were
of this character, nnd the rewards of
victory were reaped by our manufac
turers and our merchants. "Earth
hunger” Is an almost meaningless
phrase at the present «lay. except with
reference to commerce. Even Russia,
whose Industries are still in their In
fancy. looks forward to the time when
sh«.* will produce for herself ull her
manifold requirements and so become
rich.—London Telegraph.

The Holton Recorder has nil interest

At the election recently Mish-no, a son

There seems to be a general opinion
among the horse raisers of the Black
Hills that the government will hove to
lower the standard of horseflesh for
cavalry purposes before any great
number of horses can be furnished.
J. P. Gammon, a horseman of the
Black Hills, states that It will be diffi
cult for the government to get the
necessary number of western horses
for the new regiments to be shipped at
Fort Meade. The contract price is not
high enough to attract owners of good
horses, as they can get as good prices
In the opeu market and not be subject
to severe horse Inspectors. Gammon
states that the number of good horses
on the Black Hills ranges Is limited.—
