SMOKE RINGS.
I'm sitting, to night by the fire-light,
In the glad old college hall;
The fragrant jet from the cigarette
Dot dreamly rise and fall.
The dear old house 'mid the leafy dome,
And the hamlet down below.
Come floating back on the bounding track
Of mem'rey's ebb and flow.
The happy gleams of faded scenes;
The school-room carved and dun,
The little girl with the golden curl,
Soft eye and rippling fun.
Ab, pure old scene, from memory's sheen,
You shame this dizzy strife.
To-night I'm sad, on the morrow glad;
Ha, ha! 'tis college life!
—Rudoin Orient.
"A FRIENDLY CALL?"
He comes at eve,
You rise, receive,
And of his hat relieve him.
His flow of talk
You do not balk.
You know you can't deceive him.
His dress is neat,
His accents sweet,
His logic beyond question.
Until he's through,
'Twill never do
To offer a suggestion.
"And who is he?"
You ask of me,
"And what his friendly mission?"
"A friendly call?"
No; not at all,
"Tis merely a—"subscription."
—Yale Record
AT THE BALL GAME.
Her hair with sunshine laden,
Her rosy cheeks alame,
She is as sweet a maiden
As ever watched a game.
The score is tied! The crisis
Is just about to come,
When—great and gracious Isis!
The maiden starts for home.
Her hair with sunshine laden,
Her cheeks alame may be,
And yet I fear this maiden
Is not the girl for me.
—Brunonian
THE GIRL OF THE PERIOD.
Oh maid, though now thou seemecm fair to me,
I fear that sometime will thy beauty fade.
For fashion's dictates are sole guides for thee;
And though thoun't now in beauteous garb arrayed.
Remember, if thou't follow her decree,
Though maid thou art, but tailor-made
THE AWFUL SECRET.
Then swift the horrid rumor fills,
Even increasing in its rise,
A thousand little tongues of flame
Burn to reveal the awful shame,
A thousand mouths the words combine
"He curls his hair with a curling iron."
The Central College Gem is quite a religious paper. A large part of its space is devoted to articles of that nature.
EXCHANGE NOTES.
WHAT NOT TO WRITE.
When one is about to prepare an oration or an essay two questions are asked: 'What subject shall I take?' and 'Where can I "read up" on this?' Then, with a title suggested by some friend and with matter borrowed in a more or less altered form from various books, an 'original' production is given to the world.
Let K. S. U. students think of this. You may want your college papers for reference in some future time, and it will be worth your while to preserve copies of the papers.
It would be interesting to know how many of the students of Pomona College read The Student. We would advise them to preserve each number for future reference. When they are no longer college students and the incidents of their college life have passed away, a pleasant hour may be spent in looking over the old issues of their paper, which contain the haps and mishaps of their school life, with all of its pleasant associations.
—Pomona Student.
To us it seems that here are two mistakes. First, a subject is taken of which the writer knows but little; and, secondly, this want of knowledge is repaired by means of borrowed matter. Hardly any one has reached an age at which he is expected to write original essays without having made a specialty of something. He may have formed ideas on school government, on the proper proportion of labor and rest for the student, on athletics or sermons. On such themes he can write and speak intelligently and these are what he should take. It is a mistake to select a subject entirely or nearly new, and trust to 'cramming' for inspiration. Much better take a common place theme and discuss it well than write vaguely of something not understood.
We would not be understood as claiming that no new subjects should be studied. One should use every possible means of broadening his knowledge. Moreover, he will find writing of notes or abstracts a most valuable aid in mastering a theme. What we do claim, and what will be admitted by all, this: Occupying, as every speaker does or should do, the position of instructor to his audience for the time, the young orator should be able to speak with authority; and to do this he must speak of what he himself understands. Hence the incongruity, not to say absurdity, of many combinations of speaker and subject—a coward urging to noble deeds; a dullard dealing with abstract science; a rake lauding morality; a student instructing the doctors. A good rule is: "Know what you are talking about; and talk about what you know." College Life.
What economy is there in paying our professors such salaries that they watch for an opportunity to get away? It may be that, if every man in the faculty should have the same amount, the figure is high enough. But we have professors who are certainly worth more than they get. We hope that a good share of the appropriation which President John will ask for in June will be applied to salaries. Buildings are desirable but above all let us maintain a strong board of instruction.—De Pawe Adz.
Large salaries are what the most of our professors need here. It is getting rather disappointing to see a professor called away with an offer of a large salary and better faciities for working, just as soon as he has developed the talent that is in him, and is beginning to win a name.
Now is the time to take a row.

In the last United States light house report to the Senate there is given quite a detailed account of Prof. Blake's method for preventing collisions on the ocean. He has gained quite a reputation in this line. The report says. "It is hoped that Prof. Blake may find opportunity to continue his experiments, as he seems to be on the verge of producing a practical and accurate instrument of value to mariners. It seems that not only the reputation of the University, but also that of its Professors is felt out side the state.
