Says President Soule: “Technical

dominating position as material aids
to the government in the solution of
the pressing problems which it is now
being called on to meet, lienee, it
has been urged by savants every
where that courses in medicine, agri
culture and engineering be maintained,
enlarged and varied to meet tlie needs
of students already enrolled of who
may be enrolled later so as to enable
them to Berve their country most ef
fectively.
"The government, through the
President and Secretaries of War and
Agriculture, has indicated this to be
one of the most patriotic and neces
sary services which can he rendered
the United States at this time.
“Men of vision perceive that upon
the close of the War the fiercest indus
trial struggle of the ages will occur
by reason of the changed order of
events which it has brought about in
European countries.
"If this be true, it is more import
ant than ever that the special service
which technical institutions can ren
der be immediately recognized and the
number of students they enroll greatly
increased so that the United States
may be prepared at the end of the
war through expert leadership to main
tain Iter position as a producer and
distributor of foodstuffs, raw materials
and manufactured articles.”

PALACE OF THE CZARS.
Baauties of Tsarskoe Selo, Built by
Peter the Great.
Tsarskoe Solo, the city some fif
teen miles south of I’etrogrud where
the former czur was accustomed to
spend the Spring and where i ho peas
ants seized the hunling pn erve of
the deposed Nicholas, is a cautlful
place.
The city now lias a popu illon of
30,000. It was an insiguilica t village
when Peter tlie Great preset-.led it to
his consort, Catherine 1., and began
the construction there of the great im
perial palace. The palace was com
pleted just a year before Peter.’s.death
and was greatly beautified by his
dulighter, Elizabeth Petrovna, in later
years.
Some of the most magnificent royal
apartments in Europe are found in this
palace, notably the bedroom of Marie
Alexandrovna, consort of Alexander
11., with its opalescent glass walls, its
columns of purple glass and its motli
er-of-pearl Inlaid floor. The walls of
another chamber are paneled with am
ber; a third .apartment is decorated
with silver; another has wonderful ta
bles and chandeliers which glow with
soft light of lnpis lazuli, and there is a
ballroom which glitters with gold and
mirrors.
With all those sumptuous apartments
at his djsposal, Nicholas 11. seldom oc
cluded any of them, but preferred to
live in a modest building no larger
than the country home of the average
well to do American.
The extensive gardens and parks,
embracing an area twenty-eight times
as large as the United States capitol
grounds, are among the chief beauties
of Tsarskoe Selo. Picturesque grot
toes, artistic bridges, charming arbors
and delightful swan ponds are to he
found on all sides, with here and there
an artificial ruin which captivates the
eye and quickens the imagination.
Beyond the imperial guidons and
grounds the streets of the \ ilage are
broad and straight There m e several
barracks and hospitals aud eight
churches.—National Geographic Society

GETTING THE FEET WET.
The Part the Sidewalk Plays In Colds
and Grip Epidemics.
Thut a close relationship exists be
tween sidewalks and grip epidemics
is asserted in Good Health by Martin
Nevins. Grip and colds, says Mr. Nev
ins, are germ diseases. Gov. s are
floating about us in the ; Wo
breathe them in by the thousand. “But
they are cowardly fellows. Once they
get Inside a healthy body they retreat.”
lie goes on:
“It is only when one thing or anoth
er disturbs our health equilibrium that
the ‘hugs’ manage to gain a foothold
in our system. It may lie injudicious
eating, it may ho lack of fresh air, hut
most frequently it Is some kind of ex
posure-getting the feet wet—that lays
t >se‘ fortress open to them.
"It is not at all hard to get your feet
wet. And that is where tbo sidewalk
comes In. The ordinary sidewalk is a
right hand assistant when you want ft
cold foot bath. It is built fiat, without
auy slope to drain It.
“The condition is*aggravated if thero
occurs a natural depression in the sido
walk. Tho water runs into it and
stands until it is dried or Is frozen.
The natural result is a harvest of grip
epidemics and any number of colds,
bronchitis and lung troubles. And tu
berculosis, too—this disease can often
lie traced to sidewalks, since it usually
starts with some simple lung affection.
"We must .stop building flat side
walks and make them convex instead,
so they will drain easily, and elevate
them slightly above the level of the
ground."
The Greatest Evil.
The Persian author Saadi tells a sto
ry of three sages—a Greek, an Indian,
and a Persian—who in the presence of
the Persian monarch debated this ques
tion: Of all evils Incident to humanity
which Is the greatest? The Grecian
declared, “Old ago oppressed with pov
erty;” tho Indian answered, “Pain with
impatience,” while the Persian, bow
ing low, made answer, “The greatest
evil, O king, that I can conceive is the
couch of death without one good deed
of life to light the darksome way.”
