sudden, stronger swirl in the writhing
current; then a sharp, metallic discord
rasps out afjainst the song1 of the
birds. The man's eyes blaze with a
swift, eager light, his cheek flubbes
slightly; there is then exultation in
every line of his face. IIU rijht hand

STARVtLING COUUEGES.
Early
Struggles for Existence of
Our
Schools and Universities.
The American college of the middle
of this century, like its English
original, existed for the work of the
church. If the college di3 the church
dies was the basis of its appeal for
money and influence. Its duty, says
David Starr Jordan in the Popular
Science Monthly, was to form a class
of educated men in whose hands should
lie the preservation of the creed. In
the mouths of ignorant men the truths
of the church would be clouded. Eauh
wise church would see that its wisdom
be not marred by human folly.
The needs of one church indicated
the needs of others. So it came about
that each of the many organizations
called churches in America established
Its colleges here and there about the
country, all based on the same general
plan.
And as the little towns on the rivers
and prairies grew with the progress of
the country into large cities, so it was
thought, by some mysterious virtue of
inward expansion, these little schools
in time would grow to be great uni
versities. And in this optimistic spirit
the future was forestalled and the
schools were called universities from
the beginning. As time went on it
appeared that a university could not
be made without money, and the
source of money must be outside the
schools. And so has ensued a long

lege and the wolf at the door
tedious, belittling conflict, which has
done much to lower the name and dig
nity of higher education. I
To this eduootlonal plunting, without
watering, repeated again and again,
east and west, north and south, must
be ascribed the unnaturally severe
struggle for existence through which
our colleges have been forced to pass,
the poor work, low salaries and hu
miliating economics of the American
college professor, the natural end of
whom, according to Dr. Holmes, "U

What Goes to Make Paper. I
Paper can be made out of almost
anything that can be pounded to pulp.
Over fifty kinds of bark are employed,
while old sacking or bagging makes a
good article. Paper is made out of
banana skins, from bean stalks, pea
vines, cocoanut fiber, clover and timo
thy hay, straw, fresh-water weeds, sea
weeds and more than one hundred dif
ferent kinds of grass. Taper has been
made from hair, fur and wool, from as
bestos, wllch furnishes an article in
destructible by lire; from hop plants,
from husks of any and every kind of
grain. Leaves make a good, strong
paper, while the husks and stems of
Indian corn have also been tried, and
almost every kind of moss can be made
into paper. There are patents for
making paper from sawdust and fihav
ings, from thistles and thistle-down,
from tobacco stalks and tan bark. It
is said that there are over two thou
sand patents in this country covering
the manufacture of paper. No matter
what the substance, the process is sub
stantially the some; the material is
ground to a pulp, then spread thinly
over a frame and allowed to dry, the
subsequent treatment depending on
the kind of paper to be made.

troublesome animal was "the buck
illv coat." In fact all of the rood
people who were apparently too poor
to properly feed and clothe their ckil-
dren and Bend them to school were the
owners of dogs and goats. They paid
no tax and received no license for
maintaining these pet nuisances, and
when Samuel Einstein dawned upon
their horizon he was regarded as a gi
gantic and unnecessary evil. The peo
ple in those days often fought stone
battles with Mr. Einstein and his men
when they made their raids and cap
tured the contraband Lares and
Penates.
The howling of dogs, squawking of
geese and squealing of pigs consti
tuted but the groundwork of orches
tration upon which the shrill cries of
men and women builded a chorus of
vituperation. But the good work went
lght along.
Not long ago a well-known newspa
per man lost a pet dog and his family
was in mourning. While they were at
breakfast the household pet wandered
out into the street. He had been
bathed and carefully combed; but the
collar had not been restored to Its
place around his neck. Just before
noon a colored boy rang the door-bell
and stated that he had seen the dog
catchers throw their net over the little
fellow, and dump him into the wagon
with a lot of less aristocratic canines.
This was terrible news, indeed. So
the newspaper man called a passing
cab and was driven out to interview
Mr. Einstein. That genial autocrat
was in his office, and greeted the scribe
with the remark: "I was looking for
you. I knew that somebody would
call to-day. I have a little beauty here
in a cage by himself. Well-bred dogs
are not killed here. We keep them
several days, and if no owners appear
we sell them."
There he was in a big pen all by him
self, very dirty, very sorry and utterly
dejected. The scribe proauced the col
lar, bearing the license tag, and was
permitted to take his terrior-poodle
away. Mr. Einstein said: "Very few
people in this city know anything
about this business. This street is un
improved, it iB public property, it is
no', jv needed as a highway, and thiB
location is just the place for a profes
sional dog-catcher." Uo then led the
way into the big back yard. There in
the large pens, called cages, were near
ly two hundred dogs. Beyond these

pens was a sort of hitching post, to
which the dogs are tied and then shot
down with a revolver
"I now have four assistants," says
Mr. Einstein, "and they catch all the
stray dogs in town. When I com
menced this business I had twelve as
sistants and they were not sufficient.
This city was then a dog paradise, but
it is not now. The trips made by my
wagons are made at different hours,
according to the time of year. In hot
weather and especially during dog
days an early morning start is made,
for then it is that dogs, and especially
the tramp dogs, go out in search of
something to eat. Then, again, the
troublesome small boys are not out in
such large numbers to chase away the
dogs and annoy the men so as to seri
ously inteffere with their business. It
is during these early morning trips
that the largest number of dogs is
generally captured. It is a singular
fact, however, that, no matter how
early the wagon appears on the streets,
crowds of boys assemble and follow just
for the fun of seeing dogs captured. In
cooler weather the dogs do not appear
on the streets so early in the morning
and trips n- 'iter in the day,
When the school year begins iu the
full ,he trips of the wagon are mado
ftr nine a. in., in order to escape the
urchins, and the success is often very
marked as compared with the catches
made during the school vacation."
One of Mr. Einstein's assistants
tays: "I wouldn't try to catch a dog
near a schoolhouse at recess time. I've
tried it and it Is a failure every time.
As soon aB the wagon approaches, the
boys start the cry: 'The dog-catcher's
a-comin,' and all the little fellows go
rushing up and down the streets and
contiguous alleys, driving every dog
In sight 'out of sight.' They yell like
a lot of C'omanches, throwing stones
and sticks at the dogs, so that they go
howling away at the top of thcirspeed.
()h, no! I won't try to catch dogswhen
schoolboys are about."
I In the cages awaiting execution
there was a motley assemblage. They
were nearly all tramps, and apparently
as homeless and friendless as they
looked. None of them are ever quar-

relieved from the misery of witnessing
the execution of their companions.
Their deaths are painless, too. Our
system is better than electrocution.
They are taken from the cage one at a
time, and, while one of the men holds
each dog by a rope, another places a
revolver between the eyes of the canine
and pullB the trigger. They never
know how it happened. There are no
tedious delays in dog law. No pardon
and no reprieve comes from the presi
dent. No writs of habeas corpus are
ever issued. There is no stay of pro
ceedings. Every dog in that cage is
sentenced to death and inside of forty
eight hours will be killed. If any one
of them has a master who will come
forward with two dollars and pay for a
license, the dog may live another year.
This is the only way to save the life of
any culprit. They very seldom have
any friends to call for them."
It is a singular fact that mad dogs
are very rarely developed in the coun
try, upon farms or in villages. In the
cities they abound during August and
are the more dangerous because of the
numbers of people who are liable to be
bitten by them. The celebrated French
specialist, Pasteur, asserts that the
celibate lives of city dogs account for
their liability to hydrophobia. It
seems a pity, however, that so many of
these unfortunate creatures are obliged
to be destroyed to prevent them from
developing the dread disease and en
dangering life in the community.
Not counting Dagos, Chinese and In
dians not taxed, there are upwards of
40,000 dogs in this city, including all
varieties from the household poodle
and dangerous Spitz to the shaggy and
usually good-natured St. Bernard.
Our highways, byways, thoroughfares
and alleys teem with a canine popula
tion. They frighten the timid by day
and often render the night hideous
with their howlings at each other and
their baying of the moon. When
Abram S. Hewitt, late mayor of New
York, was a member of congress he
was so annoyed by the howling of a
dog at night, and the crowing of a
rooster early in the morning, that he
caused the arrest of two reputable citi
zens, had them brought before our po
lice court and compelled them to abate
the nuisances in order that an all
around statesman might have oppor
tunity for sleep and reflection un
dogged and unroostered. The suit
was successful, and Samuel Einstein
was sent to the rescue.
The poundmaster and his assistants
have been waging war this summer
against cats as well as dogs, while on
Capitol hill, near the Lincoln statue,
they have been interfering seriously
with the life, liberty and pursuit of
happiness of numberless goats. By
the way, several of these Capitol hill
goats belong to newspaper correspon
dents, who keep them for their chil
dren to play with. Everyone of them
is licensed and wears a tag; but there
are tramp goats galore in the same
section. In one alley there are so
many of these fellows with Thomas II.

stray horse and cow within the city

called for. Ultimately they are sold
and the proceeds go to pay a portion of
the expenses of the poundmaster.
