The Street Sweeping Maid.
"Sweep, sweep, sweep,
O' the orl the vile stones, O She!
And wonder what piece of folly
The next new fashion will be.
O well for the dressmakers' trade
That your gowns wear out in a day
O well for the street cleaning squad.
Whose labor you share without pay.
And the custy dusty trails on
In a manner that makes us ill,
But Oh,for the sight of a sensible girl
With courage such customs to kill
THE WOMAN'S ANSWER
Sweep, sweep, sweep
With thy delicate dress, O she!
But the cleanly look of a dainty maid
Can never belong to thee.
Harp, harp, parp,
On the same old tune, O man!
And sing of the folly of woman's dress
In every key that you can.
Alas for the bustle that died,
Since you can revile it no more;
Alas for the Gainborough hat,
That you told of in doubtful lore.
And still the styles go on.
And fashions are new each day,
Till the Paris gown and dress reform
You have guyed in the selfsame way
Harp, harp, harp.
On the same old dismal song.
'Tis strange that a lute with a single string
Should keep in tune so long.

"Sidney Lanier."
It is safe to say that a majority of the students never heard of Sidney Lanier until it was announced that Mr. Dewey would read a paper on his life and works before the Philological Club. This ignorance is due to the fact that Sidney Lanier has found no place among authors and poets up to this time. Works on American literature give him a three line notice, while denoting pages to men of less merit. Shall we say this is because he was born south of Mason and Dinon's line that he served in the southern army and that his life and writings are largely identified with the south' This may have been true—it no longer is. In the library of American Literature vol x, page 145, you will find selections of his poems, and a picture of the man himself, showing the "southerner, nervous and eager with dark hair and silken beard features delicately moulded and pallid complexion." He was born in Georgia, 1842, and died 1881. His literary life lasted only about six years. Mr. T. E Dewey is a busy lawyer of Abilene but he finds time to denote to pure literature. Sidney Lanier is his favorite poet and he is doing much to make Lanier's poems known to Kansas students. His paper last Tuesday evening paid a just tribute to Sidney Lanier and his work; reciting the difficulties under which he labored and the successes which he attained The paper was interspersed with selections from Lanier's best poems such as "The Marshes of Glynn," "Song of the Chattahoochee," "Sunrise,'" "Corn." Mr. Dewey rendering of these was excellent and he held the close attention of the audience. Such work as Mr. Dewey will make literature more than a money getting trade in Kansas.
Sun Spots.
[BY PROF. MILLER,]
Prof. Miller gave a pleasant and instructive lecture last Friday night before the Science Club on sun spots, of which the following is a synopsis. He first spoke of the appearance of the sun as seen through the telescope and gave the opinions held as to the nature of the solar surface, describing also the composition of the solar clouds and atmosphere.
After having gone over this ground thoroughly and clearly, he described the formation of sun spots, their duration, size and form, and said that the large number of sun spots were coincident with the electrical and magnetic disturbances upon the earth and the magnificent display of auroral character.
The periodicity of the sun spots and terrestrial disturbances, he said, were quite noticeable and occur with the same frequency. The connection of the sun spots and other features of solar activity were spoken of and the lecturer ended by explaining the sun belt upon the solar surface. Prof. Miller is a very pleasant talker and never lacks words to explain his ideas clearly and with force. The attention of the audience was held easily during the entire evening and the lecture proved to be one of the most entertaining and profitable, given by the Science club during the year.
