THESE ARE the times that try men's souls.
.
T HAS been said that a fool can ask questions a wise can't answer. * * * * I guess that stung.
MANY STUDENTS who have been pursuing studies during the past term will soon find that they haven't caught up with them. "There, there, little girl—don't cry." * ** I guess that stung, too.
THE ESTABLISHMENT of industrial departments in our educational institutions would exert a powerful influence towards readjusting social conditions. Young women students would not only contribute to the public good, but also advice concerning the practical side of the household—advice as to methods of cooking, of sewing, and of general housekeeping. Certainly, all persons appreciate good cooking. This failure on the part of educated young women to take a scientific course in cooking, has led many a man to prefer an Irish to a "Greek" cook.
An industrial department would work great good in helping to solve the question "For what profession am I best fitted?" Many students who are not now an the University, could be induced to attend. This is illustrated by the case of a young man who came here last fall to take the course in journalism. The practical side of the work appealed to him. He is now well satisfied in pursuing regular University courses. While it is true he is taking work that will lead to the journalistic course, yet the work he is doing has been offered by the University for years. Like this young man, many persons by being attracted by the inducements offered by such a department, would in this way catch a glimpse of a higher life which could result only in great good.
Again, students who are now pursuing only intellectual work would come in contact with manual labor. Those who are convinced that they have made a mistake in choosing purely intellectual courses, would then be given an opportunity to develop and follow their own natural inclinations. Physical exercise could then be taken while
By having an industrial department all students of the University would be benefitted. Not only the students who desire such a course without any other, but those who wish to pursue an industrial as well as a professional education, would find such a department most helpful and valuable.
A Dresden paper, the Weidmann, states that among the Hottentots (Hollentoten) the kangarooos (Beutelratte) are found in great numbers. Many of them wander over the country, free and unmolested; others less fortunate are taken by the hunters and put into cages (Kotter), provided with covers (Lattengitter) to keep out the rain. These cages are called in German* Lattengitter — wetterkotter, and the kangaroo, after his imprisonment takes the name of Lottengitterwetterkotterbeutelratte. One day an assassin (Attentater) was arrested who had killed a Hottentot woman, Hottentottenmutter, the mother of two stupid and stuttering boys in Strottertrottel. This women, in the German language, is entitled Hottentotenstrottertrottelmutter, and her assassin takes the name Hottentotenstrottermutterattentater. The murderer was confined in a kangaroo eage, Beutelrattenlattengitterwetterkotter, whence a few days later he escaped; but fortunately he was regaptured by a Hottentot who presented himself at the mayor's office with beaming face.
"I have captured the Beutel-ratte," said he.
"Which one?" replied the mayor, "we have several."
"The Attentaterlattengitter-
wetterkotterbitrate."
"Which Attentater are you talking about?"
"About the Hottententosterroteltrottelmutterattentater."
"Then why don't you say at once the Hottentotenstrottel-mutterattentaatlatterengitterwetterkotterbeutelratte."
The Hottentot fled in dismay.
A Revery of Ike Marvel Bachelor
SMOKE—Signifying Doubt.
A wife?—thought I;— yes, a
wife! and why?
And pray, my dear sir, why not—why? Why not doubt; why not hesitate; why not tremble?
Does a man buy a ticket in a lottery—a poor man whose whole earnings go in to secure the ticket—without trembling, hesitating and doubting?
Can a man stake his bachelor respectability, his independence and comfort, upon the die of absorbing, unchanging, relentless marriage, without trembling at the venture?
I pushed my chair back, drew up another; stretched out my feet costly upon it, rested my elbows on the chair arms, leaned my head on one hand, and looked straight into the leaping dancing flame.
BLAZE—Signifying Cheer.
O-
Love is a flame, ruminated I; and (glancing round the room) how a flame brightens up a
"Carlo," said I, calling up my dog into the light, "good fellow, Carlo!" and I patted him kindly; and he wagged his tail, and laid his nose across my knee, and looked wistfully up in my face; then strode away, turned to look again, and lay down to sleep.
man's habitation.
"Pho, the brute!" said I; "it is not enough, after all, to like a dog."
If now in that chair yonder, not the one your feet lie upon, but the other, beside you—closer yet—were seated a sweet faced girl, with a pretty little foot lying out upon the hearth, a bit of lace running round the swelling throat, the hair parted to a charm over the forehead toir as any of your dreams, and if you could reach an arm round that chair-back, without fear of giving offence and suffer your fingers to play idly with those curls that escape down the neck, and if you could clasp, with your other hand, those little white taper fingers of hers which lie so temptingly within reach, and so, talk softly and low in presence of the blaze, while the hours slip without knowledge, and the winter winds whistle uncared tor, —it, in short, you were no baecher, but the husband of some such sweet image (dream, call it, rather)—would it not be far pleasanter than this cold, single, night sitting, counting the sticks, reckoning the length of the blaze, and the height of the falling snow?
And if, some or all of those wild vagaries that grow on your fancy at such an hour, you could whisper into listening, because loving, ears—ears not tired with listening, because it is you who whisper—ears ever indulgent because eager to praise,—and if your darkest fancies were lit up—not merely with bright wood-fire, but with a ringing laugh of that sweet face turned up in fond rebuke,—how far better, than to be noding black and sour over pestilential humors, alone,—your very dog asleep.

THE ORIGIN OF "TIP."
"To insure promptness" was the written reminddr over a collection box for small coin, to be divided among the servants, in an old English tavern. For the sake of brevity it became common to use only the initial letter of the words; hence the origin of TIP.
