The Seminary.
The meeting of the Seminary last week was held Friday afternoon instead of in the evening in order to give the members opportunity to attend the lecture Friday evening. The meeting was one of the most interesting ones that has been given this year.
The report of the previous meeting was read by Fred Funston. "Domestic current events" reported by Crawford and "Foreign Current Events" was reported by M. E. Hickey. A paper on "The Relation of the state to Industrial Action," based on an article of Mr Adams in the report of the Economic Association, was read by M. McKinnon. Wm. Hill gave a very able discussion on the subject of "Farm Mortgages and the Small Farmer." "Henry George and his views on the Althusian Theory" was discussed by E. E. Slosson and the falsity of Mr. George's views set forth.
Unity Club.
The chief attraction of the meeting was a paper on "Railroads as a Public Trust and their relation to the Common Law" by Hon. D. S. Alford. The speaker said that in his opinion there could be no more important question. The question to be considered was whether rail roads were superior to the state after a charter is once granted or whether the state had power to make laws from time to time for their control. The charters granted vested in them unusual power,—such as taking private property without the consent of the owner. A very great burden is put on the railroad by the people and if it were not for this rates of all kinds would be much lower. Mr. Alford was unable to finish his paper on account of lack of time but what he was able to deliver was listened to with interest by all present.
The next meeting of the Semi nary will be held next Friday evening at S o'clock.
The club next Monday night will spend an evening with Emerson. Short papers will be read on different essays with extracts from the same. Nature, Compensation, History, Self Reliance, are the ones selected. No writer of modern times has a stronger hold on the world of thought than Emerson, and the evening will be not only entertaining but profitable to all who attend. The club meets with open doors and welcomes all who come.
BOYS AND GIRLS.

What they Would do Could they Change Places.
IF I WERE A BOY.
This expression has probably been on the lips of every girl of your acquaintance.
I know I wisen I were a boy. I would not be a goody boy, girls always despise effenimate boys, who have always been tied to "mama's" apron string. I would be a boy and a manly one. No one likes rowdies, yet I have no use for a boy who has not an ordmary amount of self esteem or as I would probably say if I were a boy, of "nerve" to take care of himself. I would not care so much whether I was handsome or not, nor would I be a "hady killer." I would like the the girls, of course, and if I felt like it might tell them so, but would not be so very obtuse as not to understand when I was talking to the wrong girl. I would not swear undying love to every girl I knew, still if she wanted me to, I would muster up the proper amount of courage and tell her a few polite lies.
I would not gamble or drink, but would be a leader in all athletic clubs, would try to have my lessons, would dance, and would cultivate that most agreeable, yet rare thing among boys, "tact." I would give every one a small amount of judicious flattery. All persons like to be flattered. Tell some one that no one can flatter them, or tell them that they are not conceited, and see their countenances brighten.
I would not go to call upon a girl seven evenings out of each week, then when there is a "show in town" say. I have been studying so hard lately. I had no idea I could go out to the theatre until the last moment
are not the ones that ever receive any sincere praise.
Last, I would be a gentleman. I would have all the fun that was going, but I never would forget that I was a gentleman.
IF I WERE A GIRL.
I would cultivate all sports that become a girl. I would learn to ride a horse, hitch a horse to a buggy, row a boat, shoot a gun and all similar things. I would never wait for a boy to ask me to go riding or driving, orrowing; I would go by myself and be rather glad of the privilege.
Is a thought that is often in a boy's mind, but he is always glad that he is not a girl. But if by any dire calamity I were a girl there are a few points in which I would differ from the ordinary girl. I would be a girl with some grit and independence. I would not be a "wishy washy" girl that is afraid to go out when it rains. I would cultivate my muscle and be able to take care of myself. I would learn some occupation suitable for women and then if no boy offered himself I would be able to hoe my own row.
The girls that receive the most attention are not esteemed and respected by the boys half as much as some of those that are less flattered. The girls that like to be flattered are the ones that receive it but they
Another thing I would not do is to appear indifferent to the attentions that are shown me. If a boy thought something of me and tried to show it by his attentions and I appreciated his attentions, I would let no false modesty make me try to conceal it and on the other hand if his attentions were distasteful to me I would let him know it instead allowing an assumed politeness to encourage him. A boy is not blind and can easily tell if a girl thinks any thing of him. If there is any girl that a boy has a cnotempt for it is the girl that tries to be a flirt. She may always have a crowd of boys around her, but they will be as insecere as she is.
I would not appear too reserved and modest; girls think about as much of the boys as the boys do of the girls. The boys are perfectly aware of this fact and too much shyness is not appreciated. If I did not have two grown sisters, I should not speak with so much assurance, but a knowledge of some of their secrets (and they are not different from other girls.) gives me a basis for what I have said.
Pi Beta Phi.
Last Saturday the young ladies of Pi Beta Phi were favored by a very pleasant and practical talk from Prof. Carruth on the subject of work for women. Mr. Carruth discussed the influence of the higher education of women upon herself and those around her. He contrasted briefly, woman's opportunities for education and self support forty years ago, with her opportunities at present, and described the various professions and trades now open to her especially here in the west. Mr. Carruth very earnestly advices every girl to prepane herself for some bread winning occupation. The lecture was followed by an informal discussion of the subject.
The Blackstone Club
Is the name of a club organized one week ago last night, by the Senior Law class. Each member of the club is expected to make a speech at each meeting. The meetings will be held at the Court House every Friday evening.
The officers elected at the last meeting are: Merriam, president; Hill, vice-president; Edminister, secretary, and McIravy, treasure.
Academy of Dancing.
Bishop Foss' Address.
It has only been a short time since Prof. Reinfelds came to Lawrence and announced that he would give a course of lessons in dancing, and those who were at the National Bank Hall last Tuesday evening were surprised at the size of the class he has already secured. The Professor knows his business, is a polite* and affable gentleman and a thorough and experienced teacher in his line. His charges are reasonable and he has the use of the best hall in the city for his Academy of Dancing. We recommend all. K.S. U., students who wish to learn the art of dancing to take lessons from him, as we are confident he will give entire satisfaction.
All the churches of Lawrence were closed last Sunday evening and in consequence University H a was filled at an early hour. The pastors of the city occupied seats on the rostrum. A choir of young indies conducted by Prof. Wilcox furnished music for the occasion:
Choice cigars at Smith's News Depot.
Bishop Foss spoke for one hour and held the closest attention of the audience, which was composed so largely of young people. He took for his text Acts V-32.
"We are His witnesses of these things; and so is the Holy Ghost whom God hath given to them that obey Him."
This is the age of science. There are two method of philosophy which may be presented by their greatest exponents, Plato and Bacon. During the last four hundred years all our modern sciences have been created, by experimental processes. It has been boldly claimed by skeptics and admitted by some uniformed Christians that this modern inductive method could not be used to establish the essential, the Christian doctrine. It is true that we cannot test God as we can his works, Christ himself refused often to give a sign to the incredulous Pharisees. But God himself has given us certain statements the truth of which we can establish by experiments as well as we can ascertain a principle in nature. It is said that there are eighteen thousand promises in the Bible; most of these can be tested directly and that the promises of the Lord are true there are thousands of witnesses all around us ready to testify.
Let us consider only two of these. First, "He that willeth to do the will of the Father he shall know of the doctrine whether it be good or whether it be evil." Here is a way by which any one can find out whether Christianity is true or not. No one has a right to deny what is claimed by these millions of Christians without trying the simple experiment which will settle the matter forever as far as he is concerned.
Second. "He that believeth or the Lord Jesus Christ shall be saved." Here again all Christians will testify to the truth of the proposition. Does some scientific skeptic say he will take nothing on authority? Ask him if he has himself experimently proved that hydrogen is in the nebule of Orion, No, he takes it on the good authority of those who had the opportunity to find out. Does he object to believing in something he does not understand? Ask him to explain magnetism or even light. I will promise to explain completely the most difficult questions about the new birth if he will explain gravitation to me.
There is no discovery of which modern science boasts so much as that there is nothing useless or unessential in the universe. The ear proves the existence of the sounds of which it is the interpreter, the eye would not exist without light. How therefore can we explain the presence in all mankind of that yearning after the infinite, of the instinct of relying on a higher power unless we admit the existence of God toward whom we all turn for help?
