TEXT: SMOKING.
"The habit of smoking is vulgar,you know,
Only fit for those people whose instincts
are low,"
Insisted his wife as she sat by his side,
To which opposition he calmly replied:
"You surely call Milton a high-minded
man,
Not so, my dear wife? His life didn't pan
Out a failure, you know; well now I insist
If all smokers are low he's down on your
list.
Carlyle you'll admit, was a genius, nicht wahr?
(excuse me a jif while I light my cigar.)
He smoked like a chimney, Clarissa, my dear,
While Lamb smoked each month more than I smoked last year.
Old Newton at church, with his conscience quite clear
Fumed with tobacco the pews in the rear.
Your Dickens smoked, too , while Thack eray's clothes
Were soaked with tobacco fumes thro' to his hose.
In short, dear Clarissa. my list would contain
The name of each genius from Raleigh to Twain,
Then smiling she answered, with logic elate,
"You promise to swear off until you are great!"
Williams Weekly.
A Sophomore bold and careless and gay,
One afternoon of a winter's day,
Fixed himself up and went to the play.
It was Richard the Third and a matinee.
The Sophomore sat in a front parquet,
All was serene as a day in May,
Until Richard began to pray
"A horse's horse!" in a pitiful way,
When the Sophomore sprang from his
seat, they say.
And cried the poor King's fears to allay,
"I'll get you a horse without delay;
I know how it is, I have felt that way."
Query.
There's a journalistic specimen that frequents our Varsity hall,
That, with zeal that never lessens,
And most monumental gull,
Gently stays you,
Kindly prays you,
"Don't you know a personal?"
Vain it is to try and shake him,
Or insist you’re vacant quite,
Useless task to try and make him
Comprehend you “never write.",
Still he holds you,
Closer folds you,
And repeats his question trite.
It won’t work to swear you’re hurrying,
And will “sure be late to class.”
Isn’t any use of worrying,
You can’t “cut” suh nery brass.
With me,
Don’t you agree,
He’s a most consummate ass?
A Problem in Indian Education The scholars at Carlisle and Lawrence are doing much for the youths of the different Indian Tribes. In these schools the young Indians are taught to read and write, a matter of relatively small importance, to work at trades by means of which they might become self supporting, a matter of greater importance and, finally to estimate life according to civilized standards, a matter of the highest importance.
The importance of this advantage, great as it is, is equaled by the difficulty which the children find in its
retention upon their return to their several tribes. No one will be disposed to deny that the estimate of life has a determining effect upon conduct. Few, perhaps, realize how largely the estimate of life is determined by publice opinion, not necessarily the opinion of the great public, but the opinion of that portion of the public with which they come in contact. The public opinion of an Indian village is as tryanuous as that of a white community. This public opinion each of the children from Haskell and Carlisle will have to face. He will be ostracised if he defies it. It is not hard to guess the probable result. I have known of a graduate of Yale sleeping under the tail of a surveyor's wagon and begging him for food for his squaw and papooses. I have seen a graduate of the St. Louis University step on board a Missouri steamer blanketed and painted like the rest of his tribe.
If the greatest benefit which the Indian child derives from Haskell is the ability to estimate life according to higher standards, it is the hardest problem in Indian education how to secure this benefit to the graduates from such schools and to rescue them from the necessity of reforming, in appearance at least, to the estimate of life held by the tribe to which they must return.
The following is the account of a rush" which occurred at Rutgers:
"The Sophomores and Freshmen posted notices of class prayer meetings to be held in the chapel at the same hour. The worshippers came together and a "rush" ensued. The religious tendencies of the Sophomores predominated; the Freshmen were banished and '91 worshipped in peace."
The editor of an exchange unloads himself thusly: "You may have the stars in a nail keg, hang the ocean on a rail fence to dry, put the sky to soak in a gourd, and unbuckle the belly band of eternity and let the sun and moon out, but don't think you can escape the place that lies on the other side of Purgatory if you don't subscribe and pay for your paper.
"They must upward still and onward who would keep abreast of truth." Palladium never gets beyond the truth but she keeps right abreast of it.
One thing concerning Palladium is remarkable. She allows even the despised "barb" to influence he actions and yet her councils are characterized by intelligence, good nature and harmony. The old court house even seems to enjoy the visit
of that society with its innocent and disinterested motives.
Palladium.
No criminal is ever found among the members of that society, yet old C. H. listens with a breast heaving in an agony of suppressed mirth to the harmless trials that are imposed upon some innocent member and which result in his complete exhonoration. It was not at all uninteresting to listen to the puffling of Krebiel or the thinking of Dalby or the gnashing teeth of O'Leary or the poetry, side-rending poetry of Ennes.
If you desire to find something which you can appreciate, come next Saturday night. P. L. SOCIETY.
The following in the Tribune of Feb. 27, voices our sentimen ex-actly:
"No words that can be writ no arguments that can be produce so clearly demonstrate the necessi of placing the University in a position to be independent of the whims and caprices of legislative bodies as did the Senate debate on the appropriation bill. Men who are usually calm and considerate in all matters, who were well informed as to the needs of the institution, were carried away by inflammatory speeches and voted for measures they knew to be wrong, which they realized afterward would injure the University beyond repair. It is true that when they recovered from the effect of the debate they receded from the position they had taken, but this sudden change of policy only gives the more weight to the argument that it is dangerous to trust the welfare of the institution in the hands of those who can thus so easily be swayed by an outburst of oratory, or the play of one man's passion. Every man in the Legislature should have the welfare of the University at heart, and there is no doubt that all have, but when personal considerations interfere, when the member from Douglas votes against a pet bill of the member from Dickinson or some other county, then the latter "has it in for" the member from Douglas, and considering the University as the personal property of the latter he at once seeks to "play even," by choking the appropriation bill. Not until the University is placed above and beyond such petty strife and out of reach of such person bickering can the State hope to build up such an institution as the high educational status of Kansas demands. The sooner the University is independent of the vacillating policy of the biennial sessions the sooner Kansas will be at the head in point of advantages for higher education.

The telescope which the Southern California University proposes to erect on Wilson's Peak will have a glass of forty-two inches—eight inches larger than the famous Lick telescope, and will cost, it is estimated, about one hundred thousand dollars. It is claimed that it will make the surface of the moon as distinctly visible to the naked eye as if it were only sixty miles. It will require five years to make the glass.
The new cry of the class of '92 of the University of Pennsylvania is: "Rah! 'Rah! Red! 'Rah! Rah! Blue! Penn-syl-vania! Ninety-two!" The "Sophs," however, change it to the following: "Ma-ma! Red! Pa-pa! Blue! Chris's Babies! Ninety-two."—Ex.
We learn that a Professor in Berlin University has succeeded in making a first rate brandy out of sawdust. We are friends of temperance in college and out of college, but what chance it has it when an impecunious student can take a rip-saw and go out and get drunk on a fence rail? New York Mail and Express.
A Sophomore, stuffing for examination, has adopted the ethics of Sunday work in a way to render the future elucidation of the subject unnecessary. He reasons that if a man is justified for trying to help the ass from the pit on the sabbath day,much more would the ass be justified in trying to get out himself.—Ex.
