Y. City What of the Graduates? Nearly twelve thousand college graduates are facing the future, many of them with only their diplomas and a resolution to get on in the world. Hundreds of these have paid their way through college, and by reason of this are better fitted to solve the practical problems - which now confront them. But most of them will be thrown on their own resources, perhaps for the first time in their lives, and for them the question of what to do or what not to do is a very grave and important one. One of the greatest foes of the college graduate is indecision in regard to the supreme problem of his life work, on the choice of which depends his future weal or woe. Many of the students on entering college think they know what they are going to do after they are graduated, but, as their mental horizon widens and new possibilities open up to them, as they discover new forces within themselves driving their four years voyage of self discovery, they discover their ideals have changed. When they were on the farm, in the shop, the store, or the factory, they believed they knew what they could do best, but they find now their old land marks have vanished; new tastes, new desires and new ambitions have been developed. What pleased them as boys no longer gives satisfaction. As new ideals have been held up before them, the old ones have been abandoned, as a child gives up the picture book for the apple, the apple for the orange, and the orange for the model steamship or engine. This creation of uncertainty is one of the unfortunate things incident to the higher education. When the horizon is narrow and the ambition is limited, it is comparatively easy to make a choice. But with wider views and greater knowledge, yet without practical exjience, the question of a right choice becomes much more serious. Many students form so strong a habit of vacillating in regard to their vocation that it is impossible for them to decide. Now one profession holds up its glittering prizes and emoluments, and now another and another, until they become incapable of a definite choice. Finally they give up trying to decide and drift hopelessly alone. If you have formed the unfortunate, habit of balancing conflicting motives until you have lost confidence in your power to choose, the best course to pursue is to resolutely look the whole situation over, take account of your stock, as represented by your ability and tendencies, your special fitness or liking for some particular jine of work, and compel yourself to make a choice. Then, when you have deliberately chosen, under no circumstances allow the mind to dwell upon the unfavorable side of your choice and the attractive features of other vocations. Abide unfinchingly by your decision, concentrate your energies upon what you have undertaken to do, and you will be surprised to find how your power will increase and your facility for doing the work of your choice develop.—Success.

THE WERNER COMPANY, Bullibuster and Manufacturer- AKRON, OKLA. The Japanese have recently had their first introduction to sleeping cars, and the innovation has been a great success. These cars are native built, having been constructed at the Kobe shops of the Sanyo railway, which is the most progressive of all the Japanese lines and which is constantly adopting American ideas in the equipment of the road. The cars are four in number, and the first was put in operation early in the present summer. Only Four In Use, and Natives Clam- or For More. These sleeping cars, says The Railway and Engineering Review, now run between Tokuyanna and Kobe, but next year will run through to Simonoski. They were designed and built by Mr. H. Iwasaki, locomotive superintendent of the Sanyo railway, and have proved very popular and profitable ever since their first trip, the Japanese liking them very much. As will be seen, there is a small dining room seating eight persons at each end, where foreign style of food is served at all hours of the day or night. These cars are 50 feet long, 8 feet wide and have 16 berths and are lighted by electricity and heated by steam. There is a porter's room, the berths are very comfortable, and there are two small in each upper berth with seats covered with fine netting on screen the dust from incoming at this. A is a decided improvement over our style of upper berth. These cars are finished in beautiful Japanese wood and are very handy throughout. They run on six wheel, steel frame and bogle trucks and were built at a cost of $4,500 gold each. Until this year there were no sleeping cars operated in Japan, and passengers had to sleep on longitudinal car seats if there was room or else sit up if there was no room, the latter being usually the case. There was also no heat, and foreigners especially suffered greatly in winter. So since the Sanyo railway has built these cars there is now a general clamor for sleeping cars all over the empire. POOR MAN'S FOOD BEST Professor Atwater Consider it More Nourishing Than That of the Rich. Professor W. O. Atwater of Wesleyan university at Middletown, Conn., who discovered by means of his "man in a box" that alcohol was a food, has now reached the astonishing conclusion that the poor man's food is much more nourishing than the rich man's. The full report of Professor Atwater on the comparative nutritive qualities of the food used by the rich and the poor has been completed from nine states and one territory. The material at the disposal of the professor has been exhaustive. In general his declarations show that the characteristic food of the poor-soops, broths and stews, which form their principal meals—in many cases has a higher food value than the exquisite club dishes, largely fowl and game, which are regarded as almost exclusively the food of the rich. The report of Professor Atwater contains a scathing rebuke to the manner of living among the wealthy in that there is three times as much food wasted as there is eaten, says the New York Press. In general he finds that the American people could get twice as nutritious food for about half the money that they are now paying. Professor Atwater will not give out any official figures, as he is waiting to hear from several more states and territories, but his deductions are so plain that he now has no fear that they will be changed in any vital sense by later reports. His conclusions are closely allied to those which led President Harper of Chicago university to conclude that a family can easily live on 15 cents a day.

NEW YORK New Book Denounces Coercion and Advocates the Golden Rule. M. Tcherktoff recently received from Count Tohlot the manuscript of his new work, "The Slavery of Our Times." This is an inquiry into the results of modern industrialism and has engaged Tohlot's attention for some months, says the London correspondent of the New York World. It will be translated by Aylmer Maude. Tolstoi says in his introduction that the book is in a further and fuller expression of the thoughts and feelings he expressed ten years ago in his book, "What Must We Do Then?" His concern is with how we can now consider leading to them. The fundamental idea of both books is the negation of coercion. Tolstoi says: --- "This negation I learned and understood from the gospel, where it was expressed most clearly in the words, 'You have heard it said an eye for an eye'—1. e., you were taught to use coeruleum as a marker of danger is to suffer your other cheek to the smitter—1. e., suffer violence, but do not commit it. "I know these great words, owing to the carelessly perverted uniform interpretation of both liberals and the church, will be for a majority of so called educated people a reason for not reading this work or for a blatied attitude toward it, yet nevertheless I place words at the beginning of my book." Rare Flowering Tree. A new flower is blossoming in Central park, says the New York Sun. It is the flower which grows on the Queensland fire tree, known otherwise as the Stenocarpus simulatus. It has taken Mr. Rose, the park landscape gardener, several years to cultivate the tree, which is now blossoming. The flowers are red. The tree in its present condition is said to be worth no less than $1,000.
