UNIVERSITY OF FRANCE.
Essentially the Same Today as When
Established by Napoleon.
In tbe United States there are many
universities which are free from state
control, but in France there is only
one university, and It to an absolute
Instrument of the state. It is true
that there are schools of higher learn
ing. which were founded in 1870 as
universities, but five years afterward
the title was withdrawn, and they are
now called "Institute." They are five
tn number and are located in Parte.
Lille, Lyons, Toulouse and Angers.
But tbe University of France is an
entirely different organization. It Is
the official school. It Is centralized in
Paris and has under It a vast multi
tude of establishments, faculties, col
lege and primary schools, distributed
over the whole surface of the country.
Directly or indirectly they all depend
on the government.
The university was established by
Napoleon, and In spite of certain modi
fications which It has undergone dur
ing years It is the same today In Its
essential elements as the day he
founded it. Just ns he established the
entire civil administration, with Its
prefects, subprefects. Judges, minis
ters of finance, so he created lu 1800
this vast educational organization,
with its countless professors, who con
trol tbe entire Intellectual training at
France.—America.
RAILWAYS AND DOGS.
Alike In One Respect In Sardinia, That
Both Are Perils.
Knrdlnla is an Islnnd of many perils.
One of them, we gather from the ex
perience of Mr. Crawford Flitch, the
author of "Mediterranean Moods,” Is
I ho railways. "The engine.” be says,
“la continually making frantic dashes
for the scenery. On the line to Tortoll
I made four Journeys and had throe
accidents. On one occasion, after a
car had been wrecked, tbe various em
ployees gathered round the wreckage
and spent tbe remainder of a sultry
afternoon in bitterly disputing the
proper apportionment of blame for tbe
accident. As It was Impossible to pro
ceed that evening I spent the night at
the railway station and enjoyed a com
fort that 1 found nowbero else In tbe
Island.”
Another peril Is the dogs, who do
not hesitate to attack a stranger, even
when ho is walking peaceably upon
the highroad. ‘'The breed Is particu
larly ferocious, and It Is said that the
l>eaaanta have a way of stimulating
their ferocity by tying a bladder filled
with blood to the neck of a dummy
man nnd encouraging the nnlmnl to
spring nt th* neck and tear open the
bladder”
Saw His Chans«.
When all Westchester county was
thrilling with tbe prospect of a rail
road competition an agent of the new
' company that was to build went
through Pelham Manor buying proper
ty for tbe right of way. He rang the
doorbell of oue resident, who was liv
ing In a rented bouse at $50 a month.
"Will you take $6,000 for thto
bouse?” demanded tbe agent.
“Ob, no, 1 couldn't.” stammered the
tenant
"Will you take $8,000?"
“I couldn't do It.”
"Well, think It over.”
Mr. Tenant foxlly runs around to
tbe owner of tbe property and gets an
agreement to sell him tbe property
for $0.000 If be can raise tbe money.
The railroad's agent returns.
“Will you take $0,000?”
"No.”
"Ten?”
"Yes.”
"Done!”
Oh. yes, there Is such a thing as
luck when a man baa tbe wits to see
It coining his way.—New York Press.
Killing an Unfaithful Lavar.
When a Japanese girl has been
alighted by her lover abe revenges her
self according to the following quaint
custom: In the dawu of tbe early
morning she rises and puts on a white
robe and white clogs. Round her neck
she hangs n small mirror, which falls
to her breast, and on her head she
puts a metal crown with three points,
ench point bearing a lighted candle.
In her left hand she carries a email
figure of straw or rags—supposed to
represent her unfaithful lover—and
this she nails to one of tbe sacred trees
surrounding the family shrine. She
then prays for tbe death of the man.
vowing that If this comes to pass
she will pull out the nails which are
hurting the sacred tree and make of
ferlngs to comfort her family god. Ev
ery night she comes to the shrine,
strikes In two more nails and makes
the same prayer, her idea being that
the god, to save his tree from further
Injury, will kill her lover.
A 8trange 8pecisa of Dsar.
Just above the buffet in tbe dining
room of a Richmond bouse there
I hangs a huge, finely mounted antlered
head. Thto trophy of the owner’s
bunting prowess Is fastened so firmly
to tbe wall that the glistening neck
seems to bo coming right out through
the plaster. When a little boy from
the city saw thia decoration for tbe
first time he eyed It with considerable
curiosity and very evident uneasiness.
It looked almost too lifelike for com
fort. Finally the youngster asked to
be excused and slipped from his chair,
going Into the ne^t room. He return
ed to the dining room flushed with
embarrassment.
"What's the matter. Harry?" asked
his host.
"I wanted to see," explained tbe
child sheepishly, “If that animal's legs
were really as long aa that or If be
were standing on something In tbe
|
next room.”—Lippincott's.

The following letter from William

“Dear Mother— I hasten to send you
tbe melancholy Intelligence of what

we were summoned to attend in the
apartment where he and the rest of
the company were gathered. We went
In and took our seats. The little eld
erly gentleman with the hook nose
prayed, and we all stood up. When
he had finished most of us sat down.
The gentleman with the hooked nose
then muttered certain cabalistic ex
pressions. which I was loo ranch
