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 which were founded in 1870 as universities, but five years afterward the title was withdrawn, and they are now called "Institute."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. t . BOTTS, H QUAINT MARRIAGE NOTICE. * e "" 1 William Cullen Bryant Brake the News Gently to Hie Mother. The following letter from William Cullen Bryant to hto mother, quoted by Profeeaor Chubb In "Storlea of Au­ thors." indicates that tbe author of "Tbanatopeia" could enjoy hla little Joke on occasion: “Dear Mother— I hasten to send you tbe melancholy Intelligence of what has lately happened to me. Early on tbe evening of tbe eleventh day of tbe present month I was at a neighboring house lu thto village. Several people of both sex* wore assembled in one of the apartments, and three or four others, with myself, were In another At last ctrme in a little elderly gentle­ man. pale. thin, with a solemn counte­ nance. pleuritic voice, hooked nose and hollow eyes. It was not long before 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 frightened to remember, but I recol lect that at the conclusion I was given to understand that 1 was married to a young lady of the name of Frances Fairchild, whom I perceived standing by my side and whom 1 hope in tbe course of a few months to have tbe pleasure of Introducing to you as your daughter-in-law, which is a matter of some interest to the poor girl, who has neither father nor mother In the world.” SHIELDED THE LADY.
