young ones and as many "children of larger growth" until by noon the little village and the picnic grounds were full to overflowing. All were dressed in their "Sunday clothes" and each one thought that he or she was the best dressed on the grounds Happy they who know not the old verse of Burns,

I much think that had our Hibernian friends known it, they would have quoted it at the writer and his friends instead of applying it to themslves, and perhaps they would have been right—for should we not "In Rome do as Rome does." Dancing was of course the main attraction and some of those devotees of Terpsichore art "hoed it down" from morn till midnight. As it was a terribly hot day you can imagine the enjoyment and also the condition of the dancers. The plain quadrille and the galop are the dances. Dinner and Supper!—yes indeed we had, and, asking the pardon of our landlord, it was the best meal I have had in Nebraska. I enjoyed the day hugely, watching the wild natives and several "spooney" couples and conversing with friends—and I must say that I have met some of the most pleasant people I have ever known here in "the wildernes)" at last the wee sma' hours approaching, I left my last Irish picnic and let the natives have the dance to themselves while your humble servant and the young lady he was with, on the way home, in the dark—found a barbed wire fence and went over it in most ungraceful style—head first—however no one was hurt for we found a resting place for our noses and elbows in Nebraska sand.
R. E. HENRY.
Orophilian.
A committee was appointed by the Orophilian Literary Society, at its last meeting, to again appeal to the Faculty in behalf of that Society, for the privilege of holding night sessions.
Surely this privilege or right should be granted. If it is not, K. S. U. will be known as the only University or College in the West without a literary society; if it is granted, we will soon have literary societies which will be an honor and benefit to the University of our choice.
The condition now is indeed deplorable. The afternoon classes have made it an impossibility for any literary society to even exist, unless they are permitted to hold night sessions. No reasonable reason is now left why they should not. Our sister institution, the University of Missouri, maintains two extraordinary literary societies. They are proud to boast of them as a feature of the school. Their sessions are held at night, in elegantly-furnished halls provided by the State, and the work done by them is upon a high grade. An office in these societies is an honor which is always sought. There are fraternities there, yet they assist in this work, the same as they would here if opportunity was offered.
Let us have literary societies; good ones. Let us learn something from "Poor Old Missouri."
Science Club.
The first meeting of the Science Club for this year was held last Friday in the club room in Snow Hall. The meeting was especially interesting on account of the reports made by several of our Professors who attended the meeting, during vacation, of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
First came Prof. Bailey, with a report of the work of the chemical section. He mentioned particularly the paper of Prof. Leeds on "Water Analysis."
Prof. Blake mentioned some papers read at the association which had a bearing upon every-day life. One of these was Edison's paper on the conversion of fuel directly into electricity. Another was a device for increasing the traction of locomotive wheels by electricity.
Prof. Marvin mentioned the work in the engineering section, and explained the proposed Nicaraguan route across the Isthmus.
Mr. Dyche gave a graphic account of his recent visit to the Lamay caverns in Virginia. This was illustrated by stereoscopic views.
Prof. Sayre described the new electric railway at Atlantic City, N. J., and also spoke in regard to the recent cases of lead poisoning in Philadelphia.
It was voted to remove the case of Science Club periodicals into the University reading room.
After some other miscellaneous business the club adjourned for two weeks.
The people of Lawrence will have a chance, next Thursday evening, Sept. 29, of seeing one of the most amusing comedies on the stage, Hoyt's "Rag Baby," with the favorite and popular comedian, Charlie Reed, who has made a tremendous hit as "Old Sport," in Chicago, where the Company have been turning people away at every performance. The Company is entirely new since seen here last, and several new and funny situations have been introduced. The music and songs are all new, with clever specialties by Reed.
