H0 Why is it that the poets always sing Of pleasant springtide? Sooth! I cannot tell. Unless it be that no time else so well Incarnates poesy. When every dell Is full of yellow buttercups; when ring The merry winds along a blithe hillside That slopes into the blue with all its pride Of snow-white daisies blowing far and wide, Under the warm sun; when these marvels bring The joy of earth, then we do know that here Is the most potent season of the year, With its flute-music priestlike in the clear And sweet-toned chant of triumph wherewith Spring Heralds the march of Time, year after year. —Harvard Adopts Harvard Advocate EXCHANGE NOTES. We desire to acknowledge the receipt of the Kansas Newspaper Union, published at Topeka. The Wesleyan *Hatchet*, of Nebraska Wesleyan University, has changed its name to *The Ecritean*. College Echoes prints on its first page a picture of the new main building which Lane is to have. It certainly has a fine appearance and seems to show the growth of the institution. Of all hybrid words in English perhaps 'electrocution' is the worst in its utter want of meaning. Cablegram' is bad, 'motorneer' worse, but the climax is reached in this new word.—College Life. How about "typewritist?" The Academy Student in its last issue has an editorial on "Shall We Hang Our Murderers?" Great Caesar. It would be rather difficult for us to do it, wouldn't it, after we are dead? We should like to, certainly. The Index has a fine article it its last issue on "The Preacher's debt to Alfred Tennyson," by Prof. W. A. Quayle, of Baker. We see by the Index also, that the courses at Baker University have been changed somewhat, and raised in standard. Wonder if K. S. U. is proving a model to some other Kansas college. Several educational institutions of recognized standing have adopted the plan of doing away with the term examinations in some departments, and also of substituting for the time honored commencement orations an address to the graduating class by some person of note. The plan is generally conceded to be a good one and, as our own institution is expected to stand in the front rank from the first, it would seem proper that its faculty adopt advanced views in the infancy of the University. Why not make a trial with the first crop of grauates next June.—Ecoritean. So say we all of us. Of all the bores with which this unhappy world is crowded the worst is the individual who, on all occasions, 'would like to offer a few remarks,' these 'remarks' generally being a string of platitudes fall of the best and most stupidly-put advice. — College Life. A good many of the boys have told us that society suppers are getting too numerous, and therefore too expensive. They say that the girls, after agreeing with them to meet one-half the expenses of the halls, prepare suppers and make every fellow pay for his own and his girl's supper. The boys think they had better, at once foot the whole bill of expenses and relieve the girls of the task of serving up oysters and cake.—College Echoes. Lucky these boys don't come to K. S. U. There is a sentiment Lucky these boys don't come to K. S. U. There is a sentiment in this which if primitive, is at least original. The social advantages to be enjoyed during college life, which may be found within the shadow of the institution itself, are of no small importance to the prospective student. Here are found rare opportunities for social improvements, the development, of conversational powers, and the intellectual faculties. College life is a continual round of social events of more or less importance. Apart from everything else it is a rare privilege to be intimately associated with cultured christian men, such as may be found filling the different chairs of a first-class institution. Moreover, among the many students to be met, one can select friends whose tastes and thoughts are in sympathy with his own. Some of the warmest and most enduring friendships of life are formed within the college walls. Advance. Abe Levy sells Flannel Shirts of all kinds.

Mr. Simon Yandes' additional gift of $50,000 to Wabash college makes the aggregate amount of his gifts to that institution $100,000. Excepting the De Paunebesquest to the university of that name,this is the largest gift for educational purposes made by any citizen of Indiana. It shows the state is progressing on that line as on others, and its generous proportions will place Mr. Yandes' name high up in the list of Indiana's public benefactors.—Indianapolis Journal. Boy Preachers Outdone. Maj. Perry, the illiterate and ignorant Edgefield county, S. C., negro, who, while in what appears to be a trance sleep, preaches learned and eloquent semons, is still attracting a great deal of attention, and several enterprising citizens of Edgefield county now have the human phenomenon in charge and are exhibiting him to large audiences. The modus operandi is as follows: Perry goes to bed and lies outstretched in full view of the audience, and by the time the spectators have assembled is fast asleep. After a few moments of apparently sound slumber his muscles begin to twitch, he limbs to contract, and his body becomes contorted in unseemly shapes. This spasms soon passes off, and then he begins to preach. He takes his text from the Bible, naming book, chapter and verse, all the time lying flat on his back, with his eyes shut, and for half an hour or more preaches, using strictly grammatical and even eloquent language. At the conclusion of his sermon he sings a hymn to an old air, but the words of it entirely new and of his own composition. Then comes a prayer, and he dismisses the congregation. —St. Louis Globe-Democrat. There is at least one state in which pool selling is not a violation of the law against gambling, and that is Maryland a pool sellers' paradise. A prominent Mississippiian said of the negro question half a dozen years ago: "This race question will never be settled until the negroes go off somewhere and show what they are capable of doing for themselves." Our readers will be delighted to learn that Professor Dujardin-Beaumetz rates antipyrin as first of the antiharmic analgesics, while methylacetanilid is second, phenacetin third, and poor old acetanilid no good on account of the alarming cyanosis it produces. Beware of acetanilid. It is not easy to see how, at first thought, the strike of the Liverpool dockmen could raise the price of glass in America, yet it has done so, at the rate of 10 per cent. It happens in this way: The soda ash used in the manufacture of glass is half of it imported from Liverpool. The strike of the dockmen has prevented its shipment. It is a good illustration of the interdependence of nations in this age. But why cannot we produce our own soda ash? This coming September France will celebrate with pomp and ceremony the twentieth anniversary of the foundation of the republic. It is thus that the shrewd French leaders amuse the common people of France, who need amusement to keep them from dangerous meddling. The people will celebrate the third republic. Twenty years is longer than any other government has lasted in France for a century, and perhaps this time the republic will stand. Americans all hope so. Buy your Stationery at J. S. Crew's.
