The class in Qualitative Analysis begin work last Wednesday with thirty members. The greater number of the members of the Mineralogy class will continue the study during the next half term. While at Leavenworth, Prof. Bailey procured a sample of the Hutchinson rock-salt. The Kansas Academy of Science were very hospitably entertained by the people of Leavenworth. Among the good things offered were, a visit to the Soldiers' Home, a visit to the Fort, and a grand banquet at the National Hotel. The professors of the Pharmacy department did justice to the latter affair. The mineralogy class went out to Mr. Savage's residence last week at the invitation of Mr. Savage. Prof. Bailey and the class made the visit in order to view Mr. Savage's mineral collection and also to visit the apple orchard. They were especially interested in his fine specimens of "ciderite," of which they made a "gustatory analysis." The University students always enjoy a trip to Mr. Savage's farm. The chemistry building was almost entirely deserted last Tuesday. The excitement of election being too much for the students.

Andy Reed's is the place. Beta Theta Pi 'Turkey Pullin.' Andy Reed's barber shop is the oldest shop in the city. Boys, stay by your old friends. One of the most enjoyable events in the social circles was the party last Friday evening, given by the members of Beta Theta Pi, twenty-nine couples par-tools of Beta hospitality. Besides the usual tasty appearance of the ball, autumn-tinged forest leaves lent their attractiveness and flowers, their fragrance and beauty to the scene. The "bonny pinks and blue" forming so conspicuous a part of the dresses of several of the young ladies gave an additional charm and was very appropriate for the occasion. About 11 o'clock all went down to I.B. McCormick's restaurant where an elegant supper was served. The repast was made the more enjoyable by music from the Mandolin Club. Supper ended, several Beta songs were sung, after which the company repaired again to the hall. Here, those who could dance kept time to the strains of the mandolin; others, less fortunate, indulged in cards and in social conversation. Those present were; Mr. and Mrs. Geo, Dick, Misses Mary Miller, Kate Merrill, Marguerite Bodkin, Jessie McBride, Edna Maxwell, Nellie Morris, Lou Barker, Mannie Henshaw, Maude Springer, Syd Dailley, Moore, Tella Chapman, Jeane Fullerton, May Walker, Helen Weber, Mamie Lyons, Marcella Howland, Lallie Buckingham, Nannie Pugh, Annie McKinnon, Cora Kimball, Helen Simpson, Carrie Levy, Alice Mason Messers.

Life is real, life is earnest As perhaps you've heard before. But it comes with double vigor, To the searchers after lore. There is trial, there is trouble, But we do not care at all, behind the walls weekly, Called it "TIMES" and rolled the ball. Our state ended labor. We could rest in sweet repose, But there's other things molesting, Which the cold world never knows. Well! the cold world might discover, What may happen in our clime, If upon a midnight dreary, In the midst of winter time. There should be a sound of voices, Like the rolling of the deep, And all the people walking doors, Because they cannot sleep. And thinking all the while, After it has to die, To rest unknown, removed from fame Yes! in the church-yard lie. -N. W. Merrifield. Below is given the program for the meeting of the Science Club this evening: Report of Kansas Academy, E. H. S. Barley The same extravagant but telling logic might be used in reference to the rough treatment of books, especially those which are borrowed, either from individuals or from the public. It is unnecessary to say that the scrupulously honest person will exercise even more care in using the property of others than that belonging to himself, but the thoughtless need to be pinned down to some such rules as the following: Ice Machines, L. T. Smith Scientific Methods, W. S. Franklin. Never use it while eating a luncheon; butter and crumbs will not agree with its constitution. Never make a pencil-mark on a book which is not your own. Never touch a book except with fingers scrupulously clean. Never turn down a leaf. Never throw it down when you are done using it; many a book has had its back broken by such a shock. In short, regard the most shabby specimen of the book-maker's art, when it belongs to another, with the same consideration which you would accord to a choicey bound volume of your own.—Youth Companion.

Any further information will be cheerfully supplied by. WM. HILL, Agent for Lawrence Philological Club. The Club met last Friday night in the Greek room. It was decided to spend some of the surplus in the treasury on three new periodicals for the library, a classical, a modern literature, and a general literary periodical. It was decided also to have the meetings of the club alternate hereafter with those of the political Science club. The first paper of the evening was a review by Prof. Robinson of Burn's recent book on "Roman Literature in relation to Roman Art." The high ideal of the Greek artist in executing a portrait statue or bust was contrasted with the exact resemblance required in Roman art. This indicated the inferiority of Roman art. Mr. Burn's implication, however, that Roman writers were especially fond of making their characters express emotions by means of the features, and that this was a wrong tendency in literature, was considered neither correct in fact nor wrong in tendency. Neither ought the choice of national subjects by Roman writers and sculptors to be regarded as wrong, nor the cause of imperfections in their art. The real cause was much more radical. The Romans had very little, if any, real art spirit. The sense of artistic proportion and arrangement was strangely wanting. This was shown by reference to many authors and ill-proportioned statues and other works of art. How the early simplicity of Greco-Roman art was complicated and destroyed by such external influences as world-wide sway, exhorbitant wealth, and luxurious refinement was also shown by citing many instances of the degeneracy of both literature and sculpture. The luxury and self-indulgence of the imperial times was shown in the fondness for smoothness and technical finish, caused or accompanied by an inability to appreciate high ideals. This is seen both in literature and sculpture. In architecture the Romans often did grand work, but generally ruined the artistic effect by attaching to their noblest structures a variety of Greek ornaments without architectural meaning. Mr. Burn's book is a good illustration of one of the Roman faults. It is good in parts, but lacks artistic proportion. Prof. Wilcox then spoke of a new History of Greece, that of Evelyn Abbott, a work half-way between, and combining many of the merits of, the manual and the scholar's history. While giving authorities, it gains much space for text by omitting the long notes which show the processes by which conclusions are reached. It shows acquaintance with the latest histories and periodical literature. While not touching upon every element that entered into the civilization of the people, it traces that civilization in its main outlines, devoting considerable space to the literature and religious observances, and touching somewhat upon art. The chapters on Homer and Hesiod with reference to history are excellent. The relation of the different movements to the history as a whole is often well shown. One or two volumes of the History are yet to appear. he dative case, suggested by an investigation into the so-called ethical dative. These provoked discussion, which was closed by the arrival of the time for adjournment, 10 o'clock.

At the Court Street Theatre "standing room only" was displayed before 8 o'clock. The occasion was the first production of Fisher's comedy, "A Cold Day or the Laplanders," in Buffalo. To say that "A Cold Day" is funny would not express enough. It is by far the most laughable absurdity every seen here, with just enough plot to make it interesting. The company is, without exception, first-class, and especially must be mentioned Mr. John J. Lessenger, who, in the character of Jacob Blow, kept the audience busy laughing. Will C. Sampson, as Able Effort, was an able second, and was as funny in his peculiar way. The ladies of the company gave some very fine singing; and it can be safely said that all those who were fortunate enough to witness last night's performance, went home feeling better after enjoying an evening of laughter. Crowded houses will undoubtedly be the rule as long as "A Cold Day" remains at the Court Street Theatre; which will be the entire week, with usual matinees.—Buffalo Times.

Don't forget that Raymond & Dick are filling up stock for Xmas, birthdays and wedding gifts. rings, brass bands and fire-works may influence weak minds, but they are not real arguments.

Wisdom Whose Absorption Will Bena$&$ Every Reader. There is no virtue in a promise until it is redeemed. Many weaknesses of human nature are distorted virtues. The wisest fellows we think are those who agree with us. Contentment does not demand conditions, it makes them. Whistling doesn't make the locomotive go. it is the silent steam. Now is always the very best time if you will only make it so. To be really yourself you must be different from those around you. Man may growl, grumble and fight, but it has no effect upon natural right. The ups and downs of life are better than being down all the time. Falsehood can make the best spurt, but truth can do the steadiest trotting. The Political Economy class have been for a half a term at work and have not yet taken up the study of "Free Trade." It is thought that if Sol Miller or "General" Rice knew this they would lose all appetite for their meals. At Lecompton and Manhattan the only way they have of telling a real blue blood, from one of the commons is to see if he wears his hair "pompy door" and has a white all wool muffler between his vest and coat when he goes out to a "sociable." Excessive labor is wrong, but judicious labor is the safety-valve of life. New ties just received at Abe Levy's. Barbers, shoe brushes, blacking and dressing at Raymond & Dick's. Among the number of persons to whom State certificates were issued by the State Board of Education, last Saturday, are W. R. Cone of Burlington, and W. S. Allen of Concordia. A graduate of the University, who has taken the course in Didactics, is given a State certificate, providing he has had two years experience in school teaching. The State Normal has often tried, but tried in vain to monopolize the right of granting certificates to graduates, and by so doing be a more popular institution. Go to Abe Levy for your winter underwear. A little knowledge wisely used is better than all knowledge disused. Fashion is only gold front jewelry, it may appear well, but the value is not there. Knowledge, like money, increases our responsibility in proportion to the amount obtained. Slander is a slime which envious people throw on others better than themselves. We build barriers against the flood tide, we should place some restraints to all prosperity. Special attention paid to the students trade at Rilev's barber shop. C. L.
