Mr. E. W. Walter, of Pueblo, has presented Professor Bailey with a blanket made from the bark of the rubber tree. Mr. Walter obtained this blanket in the United States of Columbia, South America, while making mineralogical collections there. When he was off on an exploring expedition in the mountains, he secured it from the Indians who inhabit the lonely mountains in the interior of the country. To prepare these blankets, the Indians strip the bark off of the rubber tree, put it in water and pound it with stones until it is soft and pliable. After drying, the bark comes forth as serviceable blanket somewhat similar to the manufactured article.

Baker claims to have the winner in the "kick with both feet" in the Field Day contests. There is a man in the University, however, who has privately equalled the best record of the Baker man, yet he is too modest to enter the contest. The Field Day committee should interview him.

Young woman, when you are surrounded by dashing young men; when the tones of love and the words of complaint float out together; when you are excited by the movement of the whirling waltz, or melted by the tenderness of mellow music, arrest yourself in the rosy atmosphere of delight, gaze unshrinkly into your own heart, and—reflect.
About a year ago some chemical goods were sent to the University from Germany. Most of the goods arrived safely but two of the boxes did not come in until last week.

Musin Concert Company.
The concert by the Musin Company at the opera house last Saturday evening made a most brilliant closing event for the University lecture bureau course. The concert was fully up to the high standard set by the bureau in the lecture field, and the satisfaction which it gave proved conclusively that the selection of the best talent, even though it may come high, will bring the best financial returns. Musin is indeed a great artist, and his wife shares the honors equally with him. In some of their duets for voice and violin, the perfection of tone blending was marvellous. One of Musin's finest selections was the solo upon his "one string" violin which was likewise one of the principle features of his concert here last year. Miss Parmenter, who gave so much pleasure in her ballad singing when last in Lawrence, was in fine voice, and gave a delightful rendering of "Oh Promise Me." The basso, Mr. Delasco, is a new man in the company, who pleased the audience so well that he was repeatedly enforced. Mr. Scharp is one of the best pianist, both as an accompanist and soloist, who has ever appeared in the opera house, and the effects he obtained from the "old familiar grand piano" were as echoes of the fine tones which the instrument possessed many years ago. It is a pleasure to attend a concert in which all the solosists are artists of the first rank, and every member acceptable to every one in the audience. Lawrence and the University will always greet the Musin company with a crowded house.
Hereafter but two courses will be offered by the School of Music—piano and voice. Each course will be extended to three years, the third year of which will be free. The degree of Bachelor of Music will be given, as heretofore. This change makes our music course equivalent to the courses of the best eastern conservatories.
The last meeting of the Language Conference for this school year will be held in the Greek room this afternoon at 4 o'clock. The officers for the coming year will be elected.

The absence of weather predictions is explained by the fact that our weather prophet left suddenly for western Kansas to "fix up" the weather out there. He writes that he will remain in western Kansas until the people there have an abundance of rain.
