The library has just received a copy of "Esther, the Gentile," from Mrs. J. K. Hudson, the author. The volume is neatly bound and presents a tidy appearance in every respect. It is a valuable addition to the list of Kansas books by Kansas authors, in the library.

At the last meeting of the Science Club a very abstruse paper on mathematics was read. From the ideas gained by him from the paper, Prof. Dyche formulated the following definition: "Mathematics, then, may be defined as a vague generalization of an apparent hallucination, whereby something or nothing may, or may not, continuously increase or diminish in size."
Some krank or kranks who probably envy the boys wearing "Dunlaps" have a very obnoxious habit of playing football and like games with the hats hung in the halls and, while this may cause them some amusement, it soon grows monotinous to the sufferers.

Fidler had a very interesting case before Judge Edgar this week, in which Fidler's client had sued defendant for communicating to him certain "obnoxious varmints." Following is Fidler's closing plea to the court: "May it please your Honor. It is as clear to me as mud, that from the multifariousness of the evidence in this case that the defendant is guilty of fraudulently and maliciously inoculating this plaintiff and this plaintiff's domicile with epizoic parasites of the genera ano-plura and mallo-plaga, of the order hemiptera and species of pediculus as numerous as Moses sent them upon Pharoh in Egypt, and as a result this plaintiff is afflicted with phihirexis at the hands of this lice-entious man. Squire Edgar nervously adjusted his glasses and said that he had no doubt but that all the gentleman had said was true, but that it didn't quite apply in this case.
Dr. M. L. Chase, of Irving, Kansas, has just made the Library a present of forty volumes. He is certainly a generous friend to the Library as he has given it one hundred and twenty volumes. The Courier would like to see the State Legislature as generous in proportion as Dr. Chase.
Orophilian.
Quite a large audience assembled in Orophilian hall on last Friday afternoon and were well entertained by a program such as only Orophilians can present, even though this was only the second session of this year. The officers for the ensuing term, as appointed and installed were: Chorister, W. E. Higgins; Reporter, F. E. Reed; Seargeant-at-Arms, W. R. Cone; Critic, M. Halligan.
The society then listened attentively to the program as rendered essays by H. Buckingham and M Halligan; declamations by Anna Beardsley and Chas. Prentis; extemporaneous, F. E. Reed, W. E. Higgins and Joe Ralston. The debate on the question of the Blair educational bill was then discussed in an able and eloquent manner by T. F. Doran and Geo. Dick on affirmative, and C. E. Street and A. L. Wilmoth on the negative. This important question was once and forever settled in favor of the negative.
In every respect the session was a complete success and Orophilian is bound to retrieve it4 former prestige.
