The Gymnasium.
At last we have a gymnasium. It came hard, like pulling teeth, but there it is, just under God's clear blue sky, or more truthfully speaking, the roof.
It is a good start and not to be sneezed at. Parallel bars, ladders, spring boards, jumping standards, pullies, indian clubs, dumb bells and in fact quite a complete outfit. We are sorry to notice that there was no instructor thrown in for our $65, but he is coming.
Those who have begun practice have learned from sweet experience that good judgment is required to make work in "loft' beneficial. Moderation at the beginning is the price of improvement. Several sore backs and strained arms are the result of the first week, but when these are well, athletic enthusiasm will be more wisely directed and only the best results can follow.
Many pieces of apparatus are suited to ladies' use, and we hope to find our fair sisters taking advantage immediately. We are informed that a quarrel of long standing between two ladies of the Freshman class was settled with the gloves last Tuesday. We refrain from publishing the name of the winner or the cause of the quarrel. We wish to aid in the settlements of such difficulties, and should the name of the gentleman involved appear here, new wounds would be cruelly opened.

A Pennsylvania correspondent, writing to Country Gentleman, saws:
My preference is for the plain, unadulterated smoked ham, and I will describe my plan for a cheap and handy smoke house. Not believing a permanent smoke house an ornament as an outbuilding, I dispensed with it and have made a portable one, which may be placed in any convenient shed or building and kept smudging away without danger from fire and without compelling the operator to expose himself to wintry storms. I used light basswood boards, and made a box about 7 feet long, 3 feet wide and 15 inches deep. When in use the box stands on end. The upper end has numerous hooks on which to hang hams or bacon. The box is three boards wide, and the cracks in back of box are closely battened on the inside. The middle board in front is not nailed, but the cracks are battened by nailing the battens to the permanent boards on each side of the middle movable board. There is a strip fastened across the front of the box between the two permanent boards two feet from the lower end. The movable board is here cut in two, so that the lower piece may be removed without disturbing the upper piece.
After hanging the hams the upper movable board is put in place and held there by wooden buttons. It is not to be disturbed till we wish to examine the meat. The lower piece is also held in place by wooden buttons, so that it may be easily removed and replaced as occasion requires. Some iron vessel is placed in the box back of the short, movable board, a few coals put in and corn cobs to fill the vessel. As the box is nearly air tight, the cows will smolder without blazing and furnish smoke for many hours. The board may then be removed, the vessel again filled with cobs and the board replaced. When we have finished the smoking process and are ready to make some disposition of our smoked meat the empty box is easily thrown upon some loft, there to remain till again needed.
Roads to Fortune Still.
Sit not despairingly down, O strugger in the world's rough, jostling throug! and say there are no more ways left for a man to succeed. Say not that every road to prosperity is choked full and running over, and that they who succeed only do so by crushing the bodies of weaker ones beneath their feet. This may be true if one consents to be weak and to be crushed. It is not true of the one who makes a plucky fight and will not be down.
It may be true to some extent that the old avenues to fame and fortune are blocked, choked with struggleers. But the old roads have been open a long time. There was a time when each in its turn was new. Then there was plenty of room. But the roads that lead to prosperity have not yet all been trodden and worn out. The ways are numberless, and there are now as many as there ever were at any time. If the old paths are filled, strike out boldly and find new ones. There was a time when the phonograph was not, or the sewing machine, or the telegraph, or the electric light. Some original spirit came along and found them and rode to fame and fortune. There are just as many useful machines waiting to be invented as there ever were. There are as many good books to be written, as many improved methods of living to be devised, from all of which he who hits his opportunity will reap golden harvest. But the main thing is to strike out from old, worn out ruts. Golden opportunities lie all around us as numerous as ever. Look out for yours, recognize it and snatch it.
The Paris Police.
Paris has a population of over two millions and a quarter. A gentleman had occasion not long since to search for his brother in that city. Neither knew the address of the other, and one did not know the other was in Europe at all. Neither could speak a word of French, which was in their way greatly. After all resources had been exhausted without success a member of the American colony in Paris suggested to the gentleman to apply to the police. The brother for whom search was made had himself been in Paris only a month, and knew nobody there.
The brother who was looking for him visited police headquarters with an interpreter. He was informed that the brother could be found if he was in Paris, but it might take a week or two. Then the gentleman was told to retire and wait till he received word from the officers. He did so, leaving at the department an accurate description of the missing man. Something over a wee passed, when one morning the youn man who was wanted was visited by a stranger, very gentlemanly, who said to him, "Monsieur, have you one brother named Zhong Dangfoort?"
An hour later the door of the room where the elder brother sat opened and the young man walked in. Out of 2,360-045 people the Paris police had found in two weeks the young American stranger who spoke no French. Strangest of all, too, they would take not one dollar of American gold for their trouble. Another point was their extreme caution. They would not give the young man's address to the elder brother till they were quite sure it would be wholly agreeable to the young man n"inself.
