The tide of travel will net heavily to toward Europe next Spring. Pail* and tb* great French reposition wlU be the objective point. Thousands of Ameri- cans will then visit Europe tor tbe first time, while other thousand* will simply ypre snotber annual trip. More aud more\ Americans visit Europe each year. They *re attracted ‘by those nameless charms which age alone can bring and which la a fascination of tbe Older civilisation. But even before the trip to Europe should come the trip to America. We have In these United States a vast and diversified country wkUi, poBMcally, Is working out the highest conception of popular govern ment tbe world has yet attained. In a relative tense It la new and it Is crude. It presents few ruins, venerable or oth erwise, but It has within Its confines some of the noblest scenery tbe sun shine* upon. Tbe man whose vision is limited to Manhattan Island'or the New England States sees tbe play of \Hamlet” with Hamlet left out. Back of him (or 8,000 mile*, clear to the Pa cific Ocean, stretches a wealthy aud populous country, tbe people of which have grappled with aud conquered nov el problems, have made the American desert blossom like the rose and made productive the flinty heart uf nature. Prof. E. E. Slosson, of the Unlverelty of Wyoming, gives some good reasons la the Iudependeut for the existence of coeducational colleges. He not only admits that the throwing together of young men and wouieu at college eu courages marriage, but be further as sorts that It leads to wiser marriages thau those promoted by the ballroom ttud the ordinary society methods. The statistics of Bryn Mawr, a college for women, show that only 83 of the 234 graduates up to 181)4 have married, or ouly 14 per cent. Figures from the Uul verslty of Kuusas, a coeducational In •dilution, show that of the 180 women graduates up to 1894 65 have married, or 00 per cent. Thirty one of the sixty Uv* married fellow students, Indicating that propinquity Is a good match mak er. Prof. Slosson sums up the case by saying: \If-you want young people to m&rry let them be together; If you don't want them to marry keep them apart.\ He Is undoubtedly enrrect lu Buying that the enforced Isolation of the sexes during the most Impressionable age tends strongly toward penminent cell baey. While one cannot quite approve of the catalogue of » Western college that asserted there wi re more Imppy marriages among Its slmlenls than In any other insiltutlon In the country, there Is no deuylug that the'heallhful association of young meu and women at college Is a uortnal ami desirable way of educating the sexee to kuow amt appreciate each other. As the main object In view is education, the path to matrimony Is through platoulc friend ship Instead of through flirtation. If the marriages, even lu a coeducational college, are fewer than In outside socle ty, they are at least founded on the real Itlca of mutual knowledge rattier than on the Illusions of ignorance, am) seh dom lend lo divorce. FOOL TRAIT OF CRABS, bs Mike Prisoner* of Theinselvst Crawling Into I.iv* Oysters, An oyster shucker found In the shell of the bivalve what he called a baby crab, \That's the first one of that kind 1 ever found In a Long Island oyster,” said the old shucker, \and I’ve been shucking along the Bound for twenty years, But such crabs are frequently found In Virginia oyster shells and are considered great delicacies when you get enough of them. Last summer 1 was shucking while on a visit to Vir ginia, and 1 found enough baby crab* In oyster shells to fill an ordinary size Coffee pot. , A young woman saw them and clapped her hinds at the sight. She asked me what 1 would take for them, and 1 said 82 without thtnktug. 8ho took me up quicker thau a mice, and off she ran with them as If she had drawn a prise. \Why do they go Into oyster shells?\ “I dou't know, l asked an old Vir ginia shucker that same question, and be said It was la-cause they were lone some and went In for company. But I don’t believe It That would mean that crabs think, and we know they don’t. Neither does * lobster. I think the biggest fool In water Is a lobster. I suppose you know how we catch lob ster! In the sound? Take a box, bore bolea In the side of It, and sink It. Put out your buoy so you'll know where to find the box. Leave tbe box sank all night aud go out the uext morning, haul It up, and you’ve got a hoi full of lobster*. And the funny thing about It Is that they go Into the holee back ward. Even people will put their heads Into holee where they are look ing, bnt It take* a lobster to back Into a hole, and rhey keep on doing Ik Flab are smart. You have to play with them to bite.

Americans Lead All Other* la Amount at Labor Performed, One reason for the supremacy of the United States In commerce aud rnauu farturea Is the fact that, takeu Individ ually, American workmen do more work In a glveu time than those at any other nationality. Ntatlstlcs recently made public show that, counting tbe work done by au American at 100, an EugllBhman will In (he same time ac- complisl) 80 per cent, of that amount. The best French, German aud Belgtau workers will average 77 per cent., while In many casea the percentage will run as low as 70. Workmen from Italy and other southern European countries rank still lower. Their best average la not more than 73 per cent, of the Amer ican’s record. These figures are based on statistics of work done In removing earth and other material In prepara tlon for tbe construction of railroads, to brlcklsylng, In stone dressing, and In coal mining. i i - - % it £ i >-S tates .
