Sangster in the November Ladies' Home Journal. The people of the United States nse more meat than the people of any other nation. England ranks second, and the other countries come far below. A peraon may eat meat perhaps to advant­ age once a day. It is not necessary, however, that meat should be on the table three times a day; in fact, it is quite an objectionable custom.--Novem­ ber Ladies' Home Journal. If we could get a consensus of honest opinions,.from foreigners we should no doubt be tcifd that our dominant nation­ al trait is--bad manners. We probably never sball shall live down the effect produced by the swaggering, rich "trip­ pers" and shrieking girls who first represented us in Europe. They still are believed to be the true American types. "The American vulgarizes all that he touches" has everywhere passed into an adage.--"An American Mother," in the November Ladies' Home Journal. The first thing to bear in mind when teaching either a child or a class of children to sew is that each one must be interested and taught to look npon the work as a pleasure, not as a task. To force a child to do a stint in sewing, as they used to 'do, is sufficient to make her dislike it when older.--November Ladies'Home Journal, In furnishing a house, consider where and how yon are to live, and the num­ ber of pairs'of hands there are to do the work, and select your furnishings ac­ cordingly. If the articles you are buy­ ing are well made and good in shape and color yon will make no mistake in select­ ing them, no matter how simple they are; indeed, the simpler they are the better. Do not be in a hurry to fully furnish your house: When buying a< new piece of furniture, a drapery or a rug, keep in mind the fact that it should harmonize with the old furnishings.-- November Ladies' Home Journal. With the single exception of Frederick Douglas, Booker T. Washington is the greatest leader of the Negro race who has come up out of slavery itself. Everyone knows what Mr. Washington has done at Tuskegee and elsewhere for the education and uplifting of the race. It is also true that he is a man of in­ tensely interesting personal character and history. All these things lend pe­ culiar attractiveness to the series of an tobiographical articles which Mr. Wash­ ington has written for The Outlook under the title, "Up From Slavery." The first instalment is in the November Magazine Number of The Outlook, and is prefaced by a lifelike and strongly- drawn portrait made for The Outlook by the artist, Mr. Alfred Houghton Clark. Among tine other illustrations of this first article special interest at­ taches to two pictures of log cabins, in one or the other of which Mr. Washing­ ton was born--the uncertainty in itself caste a strong light on the conditions of slavery. By a coincidence, The Out­ look prints in the same issue a story of negro life, "The Sway-Backed House," by Charles W. Chesnutt, himself in part of negro blood, and the author of some of the best stories of negro character ever written, such as "The Wife of His Youth." ($3 a year. The Outlook com­ pany, New York.

This offer means that time and energy shall be well paid for. The price of the Magazine is one dol­ lar a year. Its contents appeal directly to people who care for good and timely literature. A few spare hours a week will add to your income substantially.

This will be the greatest college year that the United States or any other country has ever known. The Saturday Evening Post has taken some trouble to collect the returns from the different in­ stitutions of the country, and there is scarcely an exception to the report of an unprecedented increase in the number of students. This affects not only the Universities, so called, but all the col­ leges of every class and size throughout the Union. The collegiate institutions of the country, some four hundred in a\l, have a combined attendance of between one and two hundred thousand, and the total is not far from the two-hundred- thousand mark. During and after all periods of pros­ perity the private schools and the col­ leges secure an increased membership, for the evident reason that the people are bettei prepared to pay for the in­ struction of the children. That the fig­ ures have this year gone far beyond anything ever before known is, of course, largely accounted for by the in­ crease in population; but, while allow­ ing fully for all that, it is still true that the number has greatly exceeded any former proportion in the population statistics of the country. The great thing is that the rush for higher education was never so strong or so general as it is in the present day. UUittft Titos Bealev, Q. W. O. X.
