The trembling student said, "I cannot think at present. But I have it in my head." —M. S. U. Independent. To woo or win a lady.

A physician attempts it as follows: A blush is a temporary erythema and calorific effulgence of the physiognomy, etiologically by the perceptiveness of the sensorium when in a predicament of uneqelibrity from a sense of shame, anger, or other cause, eventuating in a paresis of the vasomotor nervous filaments of the facial capillaries whereby, being divested of their elasticity, they are suffused with radiance emanating from an intimidated precordia — Student Life.

"How shall I secure a position," or, having a position, "how shall I secure a better one" where my ability will be recognized and rewarded accordingly. Perhaps no question is of such vital importance or more often asked among the members of 'do' than "Have you not a job yet?" The technical papers have published columns of advice with tables and statistics to direct the graduating engineer into that branch of his profession where the remuneration is greatest. But many an able man is idle for month after month or plooms along at a salary far below his earning capacity, while the close confinement, the long hours or other causes make it impossible for him to secure a more advantageous location, and all the while good positions go begging for competent men. With a realization of existing conditions the Technical Agency with officer at 1561 Monadnock block, Chicago, ill., was organized, and whose purpose is to assist both the employer and the man who seeks employment. This Agency undertakes upon the shortest possible notice to furnish the manufacturer, consulting engineer or other, with civil, mechanical, electrical, chemical or mining engineers, draughtsmen, electricians, and in fact competent assistants for any line of engineering help. The names of these men with complete records, copies of recommendation, etc., are filed under separate headings, and the employer as stated, can at the shortest possible notice be supplied with complete state ments o the ability and experience of any number of men who are qualified to undertake a particular branch of engineering work. The revenues of the company are de- rived from a small fee charged to the applicant to cover the cost of filing papers and constructing necessary correspond- ence, etc., and a commission on the first month's salary when position is secured. To the employer there is absolutely no charge, without trouble and without expense he is supplied with a list of carefully selected experts in any particular line, a list which would cost him a large amount of time, effort and expense to duplicate by any other method.
