An Exciting Game on Hillside in Which Everybody Recited for the University Boys.—The Winning Plays. Plays. The Short Grass Football Team was successful in arranging for but one game during the holidays. This was with Clay Center on December 26. Considerable local feeling had been worked up on account of the local team's defeat at the hands of the University boys last year and a large and enthusiastic crowd gathered to see the game. Clay Center had brought in players from all over that part of the country including a member of the Kansas City Medic term; one from Ottawa university; two from Deloitte and two from Ciften. The "Varsity" boys were lacking Tucker and Algie aud when the game was called K. U. Clay Center Reed. left end. O'Banion Wickstrum. left tackle. R. Latta Woodward. left guard. Powers Cluster. center.

Clay Center kicks off, but Cluster kicks the ball, which rebounds fifteen yards towards Clay Center's goal. Clay Center gets the ball at the center of the field, but fails to gain on three downs. Boner is put out of the game for slugging Parrott. Then K U by repeated line bucks by Woodward Wilcox, Silver, Kramer and Parrott takes the ball to the five yard line and Silver goes over between the goal posts, but fails to kick goal. Score: K.

U. 23; C. C. o. Mr. Snyder, alias Josias Smartweed of Belleville, and a former K. U. student, acted mascot for our boys and made all kinds of sport for the spectators. Campbell is Ottawa's full-back and played a heady game NOTES. Reynolds, though rather light plays a wonderfully skillful and plucky game at quarter. The half-backs were at a great disadvantage even to Tucker's absence, and Farrett was chlped to take his place at left half. Kramer, who had never practiced with the team was put in at right half. Cluster had to buck against one of his countrymen, a turly 200 pound Irishman, but handled him in great shape and passed the ball accurately every time. Clay Center gained the necessary five yards but once during the whole game. O'Bar ion is a colored fellow but played a most skillful and gentlemanly game. Two four horse traps elaborately decorated with the crimson and blue and loaded with enthusiastic Clay Center girls rooting for K. U. attended the game. Among the K. U. boys who were present at the game, this same crowd of girls are considered the most attractive lot of girls that they ever had the pleasure of meeting. In the evening a reception was tendered the visiting football players by their Clay Center friends at the home of Mrs. P. M. Wickstrum This event was a most enjoyable one and until a very late hour the boys were entertained by Clay Center's fairest and best society. Music and recitations were suitably interspersed during the evening and punch was served continuously. Later more substantial refreshments were partaken of. The decorations were simple, but very attractive, consisting of holly, mistletoe, roses, palms and ferns, and the whole house was lighted by electricity, which added greatly to the attractiveness of the decorations. The invitations of which there were over a hundred issued,were rather unique, having on one side a picture of a football player wearing a K. K. sweater and on the other side the following: You are invited to Line up At the residence of Mrs P.M.Wickstrum, Monday eve, December Twenty sixth, at 8 o'clock, to participate in the Scrimmage in the dining room later, in honor of the visiting football players. Our Group members In its issue after the game the Clay Center Times says: "The Clay Center girls are not very loyal to the Clay Center boys when it comes to athletic sports and such things." This is a condition of affairs in which our boys rejoice for it is to their satisfaction that every time they have appeared in any of these "atletic contests" at Clay Center they have found themselves enthusiastically supported by Clay Center's best society and here wish to express their appreciation of the friendliness of the Clay Center girls. The girl's frequent K. U. yells were very encouraging to our boys as they slipped and slid over the rough icy ground and greatly helped them in piling up the twenty-three points which they scored. It is also encouraging that the best elements of Clay Center's society do not encourage the tactics of the class that at present controls athletics there. "Prue and I" in a Popular Edition. George William Curtis' most popular story, "Prue and I," which a recent writer in the New Rork Times classes among the twenty-five best American novels, and an eminent critic says embodies the sweetest and most genial which has graced English literature since the time of Elia, has just been issued in a very handsome and handy cloth-bound volume, reduced in price from $1.50 to 350., by the famous cheap book publishing house, Hurst & Co., 135 Grand Street, New York. It may be had at all book-stores or from the publishers. "Prue and 1" in a Popular Edition. John Temple Grave's Lecture. John Temple Graves will be at the Methodist church, Monday evening, January 16. Every student in the University should hear this lecture on the "Reign of the Demagogue." President J. P. D. John, De Paun University says: "His lectures are expressions of marvelous eloquence and are brimful of fundamental truth. All young men should hear him." Robert Irving Fulton, Dean of Ohio Wesleyan School of Oratory: "I had rather have my students take him as a model than any orator I know." Tickets 50c, 35c, 25c and 15c at Basement Book Store, or Dick Bros, down town. Students as well as others wanting coal, will find A. J. Griffin's the most convenient and best place to trade. His prices are the lowest, coal the best, and delivery is prompt and satisfactory. ORATORICAL. PREPARATIONS BEING MADE FOR THE LOCAL CONTEST. The Date Has Been Fixed for the Local Contest and the Judges on Thought and Composition Selected. The time is almost at hand when the chapel will ring with the voices of those who are preparing for the local oratorical contest. The orations have been handed in to the judges, and January 27 has been set as the date for the local contest. All arrangements have been made, and the result promises to be the same exciting time as we had last year. The men who will participate in the contest are working hard on their orations and have them nearly committed. Who ever wins, we may rest assured, that the University will have a strong representative, and one who will keep our laurels from the dust. The judges on thought and composition are Thos. Doraw, A. W. Dana and F. D. Coburn, on delivery, Professor Dunlap, Professor Hodder and Mr. A. L. Cox. The state contest will be held in Ottawa in February. Last year we won the contest and perhaps Ottawa claims the victory of this one, on the plea that it is home grounds, so as an encouragement to our orator, it is due that as many of the students as possible accompany him. The Bryan Prize Essay. The general subject of the Bryan prize essay for 1898-99 shall be "The Policy of the United States with Regard to Expansion and Foreign Relations," but the title of each essay may be varied to suit the particular phase of the subject discussed. Competition is open to all students of the University. The essays must contain not less than three or more than ten thousand words, must be legibly written on one side of the paper, must be accompanied with a full list of all the sources of information used in their preparation and must be signed with an assumed name. The right to withhold the prize is reserved in case no essay is deserving of distinction. All essays must be handed to the Chancellor on or before the first day of May, 1899. The mode of making the award will be determined later. The announcement of the award will be made on commencement day. C.G. DUNLAP.) C, G, DUNLAP, E, M. HOPKINS F, H. HODDER} Com. Geological Survey. Professor Haworth has been making geological surveys in the state for several summers past. He now has three volumes of his work published. The first one treats of the stratigraphy of the caribouiferous of Kansas, also a preliminary report on the oil and gas in Kansas. Volume II contains the reports on the stratigraphy and general geology of western Kansas. The illustrations include thirteen figures in the text and forty-eight plates. The third is a special report on coal with fifty-four figures in the text and seventy plates. These plates were prepared by Frank Marcy and are of a high order. These volumes will be of great value to the state in developing its mineral resources. They have given a great fund of information to the public and of which it is at once taking advantage. Already the volumes have gained absolute reliance and are being much used by all interested in our mineral resources. Professor Haworth receives numbers of letters every day from different parts of the state, asking for information and advice. His work has received great commendation from geologists everywhere and they hall it as a most invaluable addition to geological literature. The professor is performing a great work and much credit is due him for his achievements, which are being attained by his great ability and patient, thorough work. Arrangements have been made whereby there will be a game of basketball between a team representating the Kansas City Y. M. C. A. and the University. The game will be played at Kansas City the 20th of this month. The players representing the University will be selected during the coming week from among those now in the different class teams. Vol. VII. No.14. COLLEGE NOTES. The Sophomores and Freshmen at the Agricultural College at Lansing, Mich. indulged in their annual scrap recently. It was one of the fiercest contests engaged in for years. Three students are in the hospital suffering from severe injuries, while the faces of scores of others were battered and eyes blackened. About 300 were engaged in the scrimmage. Cardinal, Gymnasium. Gymnastium work has been made compulsory for all students at Northwestern. Eighteen men who played in Yale's intercollegiate football games were granted Y.'s The annual chess tournament between Princeton, Harvard, Yale and Columbia was held in New York City from December 26 to January 1. Yale received the unanimous decision in the debate with Princeton recently at New Haven. Princeton had the affirmative o the question: "Resolved, That the United States should annex Cuba." Frederick Stearnes, a Detroit millionaire, has presentek to the University of Michigan his unique collection of musical instruments; numbering nearly 1,000 pieces. Mr. Stearnes has been collecting for fifteen years and has spent upon his treasures something over $25,000. The present value of the collection for the University lies in the fact that it exhibits, with hardly a break, the evolution of three great types of instruments from prehistoric times down to the present. In this respect it can rival the most famous collections of this country and of Europe. The collection will be placed in a room fitted up for it in the museum building, a-d a complete catalogue, lavishly illustrated, prepared by Mr. Stearnes, will soon be published by the University. Charges have come from Wisconsin claiming that Stagg of Chicago, had men on his team, who, though regularly enrolled received pay for playing football. Three left school immediately after the season closed. Stagg has ever been an ardent supporter of amateur athletics, and the students of Chicago are loath to place any credence in the charges. A careful estimate made in 1897, at the close of the football season, returned 2,200 elevers playing the game in this country. In other words, there are between 25,000 and 30,000 players of the game in the United States—College Athlete. The Making of the New Testament. A course of talks on the above subject will be given at the Uniterian church by Rev. Orello Cone, D. D., beginning Sunday, Jan. 15, in the hour from 12 to 1. University students are especially invited to avail themselves of this opportunity to study the Bible under a scholar of national reputation. Tom Charles Married. Tom Charles, law, '98, who was also proprietors of the basement store, was married on Christmas day to Miss Beulah Dauce, at Republic City. The happy couple were married in their future home. Tom, since he left school, has been editor and publisher of the Republic City News, and it is reported is making a good thing of it. His old friends in the University extend congratulations. New Law Instructor Mr. W. L. Burdick, who was chosen by Chancellor Snow and Dean Green to succeed Professor Brownell, arrived in Lawrence last Saturday and took charge of his regular classes Tuesday. Mr. Burdick's home is in Hartford, Conn. Mr. Brownell resigned to take up his place as county attorney to which office he' was elected this fall. C. L.

After that enjoyable two weeks at home, of course all the students were anxious to resume their studies. Among the few things which demand the attention of the students now are the oratorical contest, the inter-collegiate debates and the indoor meet. Those who so ardently besought the council for their premature vacation will have ample time to regret it in the following five months of continuous study. We acknowledge the receipt of a copy of the Eleventh Biennial Report of the State Historical society. The pamphlet is devoted almost entirely to Kansas and foreign publications. Statistics show that the University is falling behind, that the appropriations do not increase in proportion to the number of students. This is a most lamentable fact. We sincerely hope for proper treatment at the hands of the State Legislature. There appears to be a real case of the office seeking the man this year. The office of Editor-in-chief of the WEEKLY is open to the first comer, but no one has yet appeared who destroys this honor. A spirited WEEKLY election is a thing of the past. The mock marriage ceremony which was held recently by a number of University girls has been successful in removing any lingering doubt which might have been entertained regarding the progressiveness of the modern University girl. These girls will be able to go through a marriage ceremony and a latin declension with about an equal degree of nonchalence. Education which will make men and women capable of living most complete l this world is not always to be secured in colleges. That knowledge which is most useful is not always the most ornamental and that which is most ornate is not generally the most useful. True, mere education makes a narrow selfish man. Yet there is a world of knowledge outside of books which one may obtain during one's college career. A proper mixture of book learning and worldly knowledge makes the ideal man. The Atchison Globe has been poking fun at the faculty of the University of Kansas because some of them are encouraging the students to row on the river. The Globe seems to think scholarship and the ability to row incompatible. The Globe needs to wake up and roll over. The old idea of the pale and sickly student, over his books by the midnight oil, has been stuffed and mounted long ago. And fortunately so for the future scholarship. If scholarship is to keep in touch with the life of the world (and if it doesn't it is of little use) it must have a clear head and a sound liver. The scholar must be strong in body if he is to be sound in thought. Therefore he should row and kick and run and throw and wrestle, and do what ever else will give him good air and good The efforts of the faculty are indeed commendable. There is a splendid water course and it the students even showed a little interest in rowing it would be but a few years until Kansas University would have a crew that would compare very favorably with her football teams. circulation. What's the matter with you Mr. Howe, how呀?—K. C. Journal. Michigan is endeavoring to develop a long distance punter, while Herschberger of Chicago, has already taken Allen in charge with a view to perfecting him in that art. The past football season in the west has demonstrated that punting and consequently open playing is a decided improvement. The value of punting in defensive work as a means of obviating close and hard playing must be acknowledged. Doubtless, in the future as much attention will be given to the development of punters, as was formerly given to the making of the halfbacks. This improvement in the game will eliminate a great deal of the danger, and will make the contest more interesting to the spectators. SOCIETY. Miss Gertrude Bailey of Chanute has entered school.

The Pi Phis entertained some of the new girls Saturday evening at a chaffing dish party in Miss Winslow Hutchinson's rooms. A recent number of the Tulliad Chronicle contains a notice of the birth of Mr. Emmet G. Allen, a teacher in the city schools of that place. Mr. Allen was a former University student and a member of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity. He was one of the first student assistants in the Mr. Charles C. Crew, who was a prominent graduate from the school of engineering in '96, is visiting his parents here.

Several of the younger society girls in town have started a new club, which they assert will not develop into an interfraternity. The first meeting was held at Miss Eva Brown's Saturday afternoon, when plans for their organization were discussed and arrangements made for their next meeting, which was held Thursday night. The meetings will be held on Thursdays, alternating afternoon and evening. At the evening gatherings, gentlemen will be entertained. The members are Misses Eva Brown, Augusta Flintown, Dell Frazier, Agnes Hanson, Mayne Spencer, Boss Ayres, Florence Hawk and Gertrude Becker. The young women of the Kappa Kappa Gamma fraternity entertained Friday evening for several friends, in Journal hall. The affair was very impromptu and the invitations were not issued until late in the week. Music was furnished by Spunder's orchestra. Those present were: Misses Mabel Barley of Chanute, Andrews,Brown, Lewis, Aten, Bowersock, Wilson, Hudson, Cross, McCrory, Morris, Burrie Bowersock, Hanson, Parrot, Grosh, Miller and Harmon, and Messrs.

On a beautiful July morning three little girls were walking merrily down a country road which led through a newly mown hayfield. They were barefooted and the eldest, a child of about nine years, was bareheaded. Her broad brimmed hat was hanging at her back and the wind was blowing the strands of her very white hair into her face. The other two children wore sunbonnets and all three had on long sleeved aprons of some cotton print. How Elise Solved the Problem "I tell you girls," the oldest child was saving, "let's cut across the hayfield; see how smooth and velvet it is and we'll get to the brook tots quicker, and besides from up on the hill we can look along the ravine and pick out the very best place for our play-house." The other little girls agreed readily and the three struck off into the hay field. But, alas, for its deceptive smoothness! The stubbler were sharp and the little feet were tender. But Elsie, the leader, urged her companions bravely on till, at last, they stood upon the summit of the small rounded hill where they all stopped to wipe the persperation from their faces and consider what to do next. Little Nell, the youngest of the three, began to cry with the pain from her scratched feet, and absolutely refused to go further. Though it was only a short distance to the road which they had just left, the remembrance of the stubble made the child as much opposed to going back as to going on. "Now what are we going to do, Elsie Leonard? You've gone and got us up here and now you can just,get us down," and Laura threw herself down on the grass with a flounce,glad of chance to vent her vexation by throwing the blame on Elsie. "Well, I guess you want to come as much as I did, so you needn't talk that way. You needn't come if you didn't want to. But then." Elsie added, with the air of a general. "I guess we can get back easy enough if we want to." Nell, however dried her eyes at Elsie's tone of assurance. She had implicit confidence in her ability to solve difficulties, "Well, I'd like to know how. We can't carry Nell and she won't walk." Off came the little aprons and into the sleeves went the bare legs. Long wisps of hay, left by the rake, served as strings to tie up the sleeves like bags and there stood three comical little figures all ready for their triumphal and novel descent. "I know what we can do girls," Elsie announced triumphantly after a moment's pause. Old Jake, who was coming along the road with a jug of water, stopped in astonishment. Little Nell and Laura wee: both much interested at this new and entertaining proposal and began to follow Elsie's example. "We can take off our aprons and put our feet in the sleeves and roll back to the road," and suiting the action to the words she began to unbutton her blue pinafore. "Well, I swan! What be them things a comin' down that 'ere hill?" he said to Elisie, of course, started off first. "Hold up your head and keep your eyes shut." she shouted back, "and you won't get hurt a bit. It's lots of fun!" Wm.

Great was his astonishment when the three strange objects reached the road, to see them get up and to recognize in them the little girls he knew so well. "O Jake, give us a drink of water we're awful thirsty." Jake went up the road chuckling to himself. Notice.

Mythological Comparisons. In the course of the conversation, which turned on mythology, the chancellor said he could never endure Apollo, who flayed Marsyas from conceit and envy and slew the children of Niobe for similar reasons. "He is the genuine type of a Frenchman, one who cannot bear that another should play the flute better than or as well as himself."—"Bismarck Memoirs" by Busch.

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. Josiah Smartweed, who was mcat for the short grass crowd at Clay Center, wore a huge pin, peculiar in form, but familiar to us all, in the front of his shirt.

"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.

U. under date Oct. 1, 1897, is the following; "A called meeting of students interested in the formation of a new literary society met to consider the matter Mr. George O. Foster was chosen temporary chairman and Mr. A. L Goudy, temporary secretary. It was decided to organize a society P. S. Elliott, T. B. Henry and Geo R. Crissman were appointed a committee to draw up a constitution." On Oct 8, the meeting was held which adopted the constitution. The records say nothing about it, but the writer remembers an hour's "combat of words" which resulted in making this clause a part of the constitution: "The active members shall be limited to members of the K. U. who are not members of any other regularly organized literary society of K. U." The constitution was finally adopted and thirty-three members signed it. Geo R. Crissman was elected first president, and A. L. Goudy, secretary. Meetings were now held weekly, and excellent programs were rendered. The active membership rose to sixty and enthusiasm and interest was great. But soon came some serious hindrances. One of these was the lack of heat for the room. The lack of heat, of course, cooled the glow of interest. Another reason for this decline was the constant conflict with other meetings such as lectures and concerts in the some building. Many of the members ceased to attend, yet in spite of these hindrances the society continued to meet till late in spring and adjourned to meet at the opening of the University. At the beginning of this University year all old members were anxious to find warmer quarters, and now the society, the Snow Society, meets in the assembly room of North College. Its time of meeting has been changed to Saturday evening with the hope of avoiding conflicts. The society now has a fair sized hall for a home, and hopes to get more conveniences and furnishings later. Its members at present number about thirty. Some good programs have been rendered this year. The aim is to do general literary work, and avoid all trashy and trivial matter. Parliamentary training has been made an im-portant feature of the work. One of the aims of this feature is to give all members practice in presiding over a meeting. When the society wishes to boast it points to the fact that it was able to furnish four out of five contestants in last year's oratorical contest and one of the inter-state debaters, and its members are proud of naming as their fellow member, P. S. Elliott the best student orator of Kansas, as was decided in last year's contest. But we desired to say something about the true condition of literary societies and the status of literary interest in K. U. Ab! but this is one side of the subject upon which one who knows the conditions and is loyal to K. U. would rather have nothing to say. Anyone who has participated in, or seen the literary work done in the other state schools or in almost any of the private colleges or even minor academies is sadly disappointed when he comes here and sees the work done in K. U. A thousand students carrying in all but two societies for general literary work and possibly not over sixty students doing much active work even in these! But, you say, there are many special societies and clubs Perhaps, but in how many do students do the majority of the work? How many of the thousand students are doing anything to acquire the power to express their thoughts before an audience? Several of the professors have said that the training received by doing active work in a literary society is worth more than any course offered by any department. Some have even gone so far as to say that society work was worth more than two or three such courses. In a critics report recently given before the Snowsociety a professor said: "You, students, will use that which you can gain in a literary society, i.e., power to express yourselves naturally, easily and fearlessly" before an audience, six times, while you will use that once which you gain in any one term of class room work." So great is the importance of this work in the opinion of men of experience, and yet so few students are doing it. Evidently the students are the greatest loosers because of the neglect of literary work. They are themselves most to blame and there are, no doubt, many reasons to keep them from doing general literary work. However, we shall not consider these reasons now. The writer, being a student, finds it easier to point out what the authorities of Kansas University might do to help on society work. In many institutions, hallways are given to societies which they are allowed to use, furnish and decorate at their pleasure. K.U. could do as much. In some institutions many of the professors visit the societies frequently without having to be invited to come and act as critic. Could our professors not do as much? Should not a student receive as much credit for his searching, reading and arranging the matters for a few minutes talk in debate, as he who writes or copies a thousand word biography, or gets a friend to write a forensic for him? We think the English department could devise some scheme by which without increasing their work they could give students credit for forensic work for good work in debating, etc., in a society. This literary work would be much more useful than simply writing a forensic. Whether this or some other plan be used we hope something can be done, so that students will carry on several good literary societies, and thus K. U. might lead in literary work instead of trailing along behind even minor academies Let us win the games and contests, but let us also do some literary work and be prepared, after graduating, to lead in Literary, Scientific or Social Clubs, in Teacher's Associations, Doctor's Conventions, or Irrigation Conferences, in Secret Orders, Young People's Societies or Church Organizations. Let us try to learn to express our thoughts before others and carry our points in a meeting. B. W. J. A Pretty Effect. An illuminated sign on a store up town spells the name of the proprietor in letters outlined by electric lights and is lit up and then made dark again automatically. When the sign begins to shine out, the electric bulbs at the left are the first to appear, and then the illumination follows the course of an immense pen writing the name out. So closely is the course of the pen followed that the "i" in the name is not dotted with its especial electric light dot until the last flourish at the extreme right of the name is lit up. Then, with a perceptible interval, as if the gigantic pen was being carried back, the dot on the "i" is made and out the and the whole name appears.—New York Sun Constant Squeezing. "Now, Algernon," said Miss Fussanfeather, as she was tightly held in the embrace of her fiance, "they tell me that men get tired of squeezing after they are married. Will you promise me not to give it up after we are man and wife?" "Oh, I assure you it is not necessary to make any such promises," replied the young man. "I guarantee you'll have all the squeezing you want to do to get along on $7 a week."—Exchange True Friendship. Author—When you come to my new book, I hope you will not be too severe on me.

Many people, including some of our greatest naturalists, believe that our English domestic cat is descended from the Egyptian domestic cat. Yet all records go to prove that the cats of Egypt lived in droves, were cared for in droves, were fed in droves and worshiped in droves, with the result Cat Egyptian cats never got domesticated or became half as intelligent as ours. Cats and Monkeys. The like truth is suggested from India, where monkeys are worshiped. These are allowed to be come misuses. They are fed and they have any amount of liberty, and what is true consequence? They never lose their innate savvage. The method of caring for them has been wrong. All the devotion and care expended on them are practically wasted, and if we treated our cats in the same fashion as the Indians do these monkeys they would become just as wild and undesmoticized.—Cassell's Magazine.

Big Mass, St. Over Daly's A LIVELY TIME AT TEE WEEKLY ELECTION ON FRIDAY. It Developed into a Bete-Phi Fal Fight Simpson Wen but his Election Will Fe Contested on the Ground That He Wes Not Regularly Noninimated. Contrary to all expectation, the WEEKLY election Friday was not at all a quiet one. Until Friday, Mr. W. B. Graham was the only candidate for the office of editor-in-chief. But on the morning of the election it was reported that Mr. Graham had pledged himself to the Phi Psis. Graham himself would not state whether such was the case or not, and so Mr. Simpson, a Ieta, was put up as a dark horse and was elected by a vote of 65 to 54. Fight for Collars. The supporters of Graham maintain that Simpson cannot legally take the office since the constitution of the WEEKLY states explicitly that the nomination, signed by ten shareholders, must be handed to the advisory board at least one week before the election takes place. The Simpson supporters say that Graham cannot accept the office, because his nomination was not signed by ten stockholders, but that ten names were affixed to his nomination by one or two men. They site in favor of making this election legal; the instance that Mr. Frank Swett was elected in a similar manner, and that he held his place on the board and served throughout the whole term. There was a lively time at the ballot box. Every vote that was in doubt was challenged. The matter of declaring the election legal or illegal devolved upon the advisory board, and they referred it to the University Council which has thus far taken no action. It is the general opinion that there will be another election, as there was a few years ago when the list of shares was stolen. Many of the stockholders declare that if Si mpson is thrown out and Graham is declared elected, they will circulate a petition for another election. There was quite a lively time at Washburn last week over some collars. The Sq. his mores sent out a man with instructions to purchase the "loudest and highest collars that could be found in the city of Topeka." They intended to wear them to chapel on Friday morning. The collars were duly procured and secreted, but a Freshman with his proverbal inquisitiveness found out their plans and took their collars. They were distributed among the Freshmen who wore them to chapel on the day that the Sophomores had planned to make a hit. The disappointed ones bore their discomfiture in silence during chapel, but when the exercises were over, trouble began. In due course of time the Sophomores regained their collars and colors, but not until after one man had had a finger broken and another had been knocked senseless. The last issue of this journal contained an account of the University Geological Survey, but for some reason nothing was said about a very important part of it, the department of Paleontology. Up to the present time this department has published one volume, Vol IV, and has another which will be ready to go to the printer before the beginning of the next fiscal year. In addition to this it has published many other papers in the University Quarterly and elsewhere and has also contributed quite a little toward volumes I and II, of this survey. The work has always been of the highest quality. Dr. Williston having received many letters of commendation from paleontologists from all over the world. The Geological Survey. From George W. Bain, Kentucky's brilliant orator! "I consider 'The Reign of the Demagogue,' by John Temple Graves, the finest oration in the language." Robt. Irving Fulton, Dean Ohio Wesleyan School of Oratory says: "I would rather have my students take John Temple Graves as a model than any orator I know." Made in Germany. The question is frequently asked why some of our students in certain lines of technical work, especially in chemistry, feel obliged to go to Germany to complete their education. Is it not just as practical to complete their course in a school or manufactory in this country or in England as to go to a land where the language and the customs are so foreign to our own? A glance at a few facts that have come out in a recent article by Dr Fisher may aid in answering the question. Throughout Germany, not including Austria, there are about 200 men who devoted their lives to the purely scientific study, while there are more than 4,200 who are occupied with the technical applications of art. This it dustry has been developed in the last 150 years, and in fact only a little more than a hundred years ago chemical technology was first introduced into the University at Göttingen place in all the higher institutions Some idea may be formed of the development of chemical industries when we consider that the great color works on Bayer & Co., at Eiffelterbun in 1884 employed fifteen chemists and 50 workmen while today they employ 10 chemists and 2644 workmen. The science must be first studied as a science, then the student is in a position to apply his knowledge to the numerous industries in which it is a factor. The broader his knowledge the better he will be able to devise economical manufacture re on a large scale, and so utilize the by product that there may be a margin of profit. He will work up raw material, and uses for his products, and devise the best possible machinery to do the work. The Germans with their proverbial industry and patience have met these conditions better than any other people, till today they supply the markets of the world with reliable products, so that "Made in Germany" is almost necessary a trade mark for many classes of chemicals. Is it any wonder that our students are impressed with the phenomena success of the Germans in this particular and that they flock to that land to learn the secret of how it is done? E. H. S. B. From Col. L.F. Copeland. (The Veteran Lecturer.) "I beard John Temple Graves in his matchless oration, 'The Reign of the Demagogue,' at the Kentucky State Chataqua, July 7. I have listened to nearly every great speaker of two conti- nents, but never in my life did I listen to any deliverance from the platform so thoroughly pungent in thought, so scholar- lly in dictation, so elegant and classical in composition, so matchless in eloquence as 'The Reign of the Demagogue,' by John Temple Graves. Every Living American should hear it. It is beyond all praise. "Yours, L. F. COPELAND." Dr. Chas Fester Smith, Professor of Greek, Wisconsin University, says about John Temple Graves: "No speaker of the nineteenth century, within my observation more nearly resembles the Greek Demosthenes in method of expression and in inspiration of delivery than John Temple Graves, of Georgia." President J. P. D. John, of De Pauw University, Indiana, says: "John Temple Graves' lectures are expressions of marvellous eloquence and are brimful of fundamental truth. All young men should hear him." C. L. Edwards, on Warren street, sells coal of all kinds by the ton or car load, a lowest cash prices, and delivers same in good condition. Telephone 87.

Entered at the Lawrence Postoffice as secon- d class mail matter, LAWRENCE, KAN., JAN 14, 1899. A Suggestion The fortunes made off the WERKLY are merely visionary. In the spring term the managing editor must consider himself highly successful if he makes odes meet. Such being the case it is imperative to seek a remedy. For several years the WEEKLY has been paying out $6.00 or more per annum to cover expenses of publication, the Quarterly too is at the expense of being printed at the down town offices. "There is a little "print shop"—a hand press and some of the cled type connected with the University, but very often this proves inadequate, and thus a considerable amount of money is pain out for other printing. All this money might have been retained in the University in the form of a good printing office. Should a loan have been solicited a number of years ago, and all the money paid out since then, have been applied on the payment of the debt thus incurred, the debt would have already been raised, and we would now have a printing office of our own. It seems that such an item never entered the minds of the faculty. The Weekly is a sort of secondary matter, anyhow. Yet it seems to exist, and the best should be made of it. We would propose that a loan be solicited, and a complete plant be purchased with it. The WEEKLY, Quarterly and other University printing should be done here, and for a few year the same amount might be paid for the work as has been charged heretofore, this money going to the discharge of the debt. In a very few years we should own our printing office, and in the meantime have the use of it. In the last five years we have lost a splendid printing plant, yet we have an opportunity to obtain another. The plan is feasible. Why not try it? When the WEEKLY was first established it was distinctly a fraternity organ, later, it fell into the hands of the so called "barbs" and was devoted to their interests. College spirit ran high. The WEEKLY under the management of either of these factions received hearty support and was highly successful. In the last few years the antagonism between the two factions has gradually died out and the leadership of the WEEKLY has been given alternately into the hands of the fraternies and the no-fraternity students, and then it was that the WEEKLY began to struggle for its existence. The editors of the paper have never received one word of encouragement from members of the faculty, but should the WEEKLY in any way deviate from their wishes, they are ever ready to; criclise. Especially severe was Professor Wilcox in his criticism of the WEEKLY in his channel talk on Friday. He said that the publication had deteriorated so rapidly in the past few years that now he was ashamed to send it to his friends. His criticisms were decidedly unfair, and given in the manner they were, uncalled for. The editors of the paper always appreciate suggestions kindly given and are ever ready to profit by advice. The statement he made to the effect that the paper was narrow and devoted to political interests, is misleading. In giving items of news the fraternities,—for from his talk one would infer that the paper is directly and openly opposed to fraternities—have always received proper recognition. We acknowledge that the paper is not what it should be, nor will it ever be all that is desired until it receives the co-operation of the faculty. The paper itself is existing in face of the maxim that a "house divided against itself cannot stand," and will continue to exist until the faculty takes some interest in it Then, doubtless, it will live. The Manhattan Students Herald issues a supplement this week, in which a detailed list of the needs of the school is given. The paper asks the co-operation of the students, professors and of the residents of Manhattan in securing the desired recognition from the legislature. Instead of reviving entirely on the regents' report of the needs of the University, it would doubtless be highly proper for the students and faculty of this institution, and the citizens of Lawrence to put forth some effort to assist in obtaining the desired appropriations. The overcrowded class rooms and the inadequate facilities which some of the departments offer at present makes immediate action necessary, if our University is to maintain its reputation for excellence. The value of a well equipped school with its hundreds of students to a town is at once apparent, The Sigma Nus, maligned, despised east aside even by their own brethren; about whom some unfriendly fraternity man started the report that they had lost their charter, have shook off their lethargy, and are "rushing" with a vengeance. And now comes the question, why have the Sigma Nus been the sport of all the other fraternities? Are they lower in the scale of society or morality? We don't believe so. Then why is it that their brothers always speak of them with a sneer? Is that the feeling of brotherhood which the name fraternity implies? The strong feeling which exists between the fraternities and the non-fraternity students is cast aside during the football season, but it re-appears in the spring. Our base ball nines in the last two years have not been what they should be, and it is all because of this spirit. It is to be hoped that this yea there will be no lines, that each one who has ability will try for a place. When we are giving credit for the beauty and completeness of the new shops it is but proper that Professor Ward should receive his share. He selected the machinery, and it was solely under his direction that it was put into place. The editors of College Life show their appreciation of a good joke by publishing it twice in the same issue of their paper. W. R. Arthur has been chosen by Washburn to represent that institution in the state oratorical contest. There is an indescribable something about a State Normal student that always identifies him. If we are to have a good series of ball games it is time we at least had a manager. H. Heymann, dancing master, has opened a term of dancing lessons in Turner Hall. Class meets every Monday evening. Lesson from 8 to 9; dance from 9 to 11. Single lesson 50 cents; term of twelve lessons $5.00. At Nebraska University they form a new fraternity about every week. The Junior laws will entertain soon. Their hip given before the holidays was a very decided success and their next attempt will doubless prove to be a most delightful affair. SOCIETY. The frantic rushing that has been in-dulged in by the girls' fraternities during the past week has been very amusing to the disinterested onlooker, though the girls say it has been anything but amusing to them. Arrangements for the junior "Prom" are being made. It doubtless will be a very swell affair, at least if "all we hear is thus." It will probably take place the 11th of April. Miss Bertha Miller entertained informally at cards Tuesday night in compliment to Miss Babel Bailey and Miss Katharine Baxter of Kansas City. Mr. Hooper of Smith county spent a few days this week visiting his con T. H. Hooper. Dr. Hall of the Kansas City University came up last Monday for the Sigma Xi meeting at Prof. Newson's. Mr. Bishop, of Chanute, an old University graduate was on the hill Tuesday. He is on his way to Singapore where he will engage in business. The Beta Theta Pis have sent out invitations for their annual spring party, which will be held January 27. Plans are being made for the Chance lor's annual reception to students, but a date has not yet been decided on. Later reports from the committee on the Junior "Prom." state that the affair will be held the 21st of April. Mr. J. A. Post, who has been spending the holidays in Iowa and Indiana, with relatives, returned Thursday morning to resume his work on the hill.

One of the most elaborate social events of the week was the progressive dinner party given by Miss Eva Brown Friday evening in compliment to Misses Mabel Bailey, and Matherine Marie Baxter. The decorations were pink and white roses and carnations and prettily decorated menu cards were given as favors. The dinner was an eight course one and the guests were seated at six small tables placed in the different rooms. As it was a progress- STUDENTS It will pay you to see us when you want SHOES.

SIMPSON, Miss Lizzie Goodnight was appointed to review at the next meeting an article by Prof. Blackmar in the January Forum, on San Francisco's struggle for good government. There followed a discussion of the special session legislation at Topeka, the prosecution of the Standard Oil Company in Ohio, and the expansion policy of the United States. The general tenor of the discussion on the latter point seemed to be that with increased responsibilities the political system of the American nation would rise to the emergency and the result would be greatly beneficial not only to the Philippines and Asia in general, but also to the American people. The meeting of the Economic Seminary on Monday afternoon was opened with a report by Mr. Overlander on the opening chapter of the article entitled "The Workers," recently published in Scribner's. The experiences of the author were detailed giving the results of his attempts to mingle and work with the laboring classes. After traveling some days from New York and getting his meals by odd jobs that he was occasionally able to pick up, he obtained steady work for a week at West Point, in which time he was able to earn $5.85, all but ten cents of which he was obliged to pay for his board and lodging. These articles, on the whole have been unsatisfactory, as the author seems to be unacquainted with very common-place affairs, and to be unable to deduce nothing of value from his experience. I. C STEVENSON. PRINCIPAL. Just a Little Wrong. There is a lad of tender years out in the western part of the city who is inordinately fond of conundrums, and resembles Oliver Twist in his capacity for asking for more. The other day his mother, driven to desperation, gave him the time-honored one about an old man being like a dog's tail, on account of being "infirm." This youngster did not understand at first, and had to have the thing explained to him, but having at last caught on, he was delighted, and immediately flew up to his grandfather to puzzle him with the same question. Of course this was a model grandpa, who is always ignorant in the right places, and after much wild guessing he had to be told, whereas the youngster yelled out: "Because it sticks tight! grandpa; because it sticks tight!" and was immensely pleased with the heartiness of grandpa's laugh.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

K, here is a good opening. Kindly mention this paper when writing. This University of Iowa and the University of Wisconsin are making arrangements for an intercollegiate debate. At Chicago's twenty-seventh convocation which was held a week ago, President Harper in giving his quarterly report of the financial condition of the institution, announced that the University had received two large gifts of real estate, valued at $3,400 from Martin A. Ryerson, and $3,400 cash from John D. Rockfeller. The German-Americans of Milwaukee gave to the University of Wisconsin, as a Christmas gift, sufficient money to purchase the great Babbold library one of the most valuable collections of books on German Philology. When Wisconsin obtains this library, her German department will, perhaps, be the strongest and best equipped one, in the country. Russia in 1889, had 43,100 schools and 2,510,000 attendance. Instructor Bowman of Iowa, caught his hand in a flywheel, while demonstrating in the physical laboratory last Tuesday and it is probable that it will be necessary to amputate his fingers. Wanted. The faculty committee on athletics at Pennsylvania has refused to grant the request of the baseball management to allow the team to play preliminary games next year with professional clubs.

The challenge on b half of Harvard, Columbia, Yale and Princeton Universities, chess clubs for a match to be played by cable with Oxford and Cambridge, was sent recently by mail on the steamship Paris. The Americans propose to play the match on six boards at the rate of 20 moves a week. Harvard has received additions amounting to $100,000 to its permanent funds, the pa t four months. It has been announced that Jennings, the Baltimore base ball player, has been engaged to coach Cornell during the early part of the season. He will accompany the team on its southern trip, about February 15th. S. P. Avery, 100 yards A. A.

Yale, Pennsylvania and Princeton will be invited to send representatives. The date and list of events will be announced later. The Vale taxation case has just been decided in favor of the University. In 1895 the University filed a tax list returning seven pieces of land valued a $57,680. The assessors added certain buildings used for dormitories and dining halls, with the land on which they stand, valued at $214,990; also vacant lots, dwelling houses and factories, valued at $167,112. Yale appealed to the board of relief, which sustained the assessors, and then to the Superior Court, by which it was reserved for the advice of the Supreme Court, which has just rendered its decision.—Harvard Crimson. AMUSEMENTS. The chief event of the musical season may be set down as the appearance here of Mme. Soha Scalchi and associate artists in the operatic performance they will give at the Bowersock Opera house on Friday, January 20. Sealchi is without cavil the best and most celebrated contrato singer in the entire world. She will not be heard again in America after this season, having made contracts to join the Royal Opera company of St. Petersburg, which is to make a tour of the principal cities of Europe. Sealchi has in her company some really famous artists who have not been heard in this city before. Signor Alberti, the baritone, is perhaps the most famous. His first success in America was made with Mapleson's Imperial Opera Company three seasons ago in New York. Since then he has sung in all the large cities of this country with untainted success. That he is an artist of great reputation can be seen from the fact that his repertoire consists of no less than sixty-five grand operas. The prima donna soprano. Mlle. Helene Noldi is an American girl of striking beauty and the possessor of a beautiful and sympathetic voice. Signor Canzio, tenor, and the well-known Walter Pick, musical director, are also members of this excellent organization. The entire fourth act of II Trovatore will be presented in costume, with scenery, etc., and will be preceded by an operatic concert in which all the company will take part.

Ross—The Morts of the Men-No Adm- mission to Be Charged at Contest The time draws near for the contest which is to decide who shall have the honor of representing the University of Kansas in the state oratorical context to be held at Ottawa in February. The contest has been postponed from January 27 to Wednesday, February 1. It will be held in University hall and owing to the reorganization of the oratorical association and the fact that the Chancellor so kindly furnishes the ball free of charge, the association decided to hold a contest without charging any admission. What this management wants is a crowd and from the interest manifested lately, there doubtless will be a good one. We are unable at the present writing to give the program in full but aside from music by the University band and a pipe organ selection by Professor Penny there will be both instrumental and vocal selections by prominent members of the Music school. There will be two contestants, both of whom have excellent orations and have been doing hard work on delivery. The contestants will be C. E. Rose and Sherman G. Elliott. Owing to the fact that all the markings in thought and composition are not yet in, we refrain from giving the subjects of the orations, suffice it to say the orations are up to date and in this respect will excel most college orations. As for the contestants they are both too well known to need any comment. Both are men of ability and well advanced in their college course. Mr. Rose is a member of the class of '99 and in this respect has a year's advantage of his opponent, while on the other hand Mr. Elliott] has had more experience on this style. He is said to much of the fire and elencque of his brother, Philip S. Elliott, Kansas University's veteran orator, who bore away the laurels for the University in last year's contest. Remember the date and let every one who is interested in this line of work be present. ECHOOL OF ENGINEERING A complete Westinghouse air brake equipment for a locomotive and one car has been donated to the testing laboratory by the Westinghouse Air Brake Company of Futsburg, Pa., and is now placed in the new laboratory in Fowler shops. This equipment will serve the double purpose of giving the students in mechanical engineering instruction and experience in the management of air brakes, and of furnishing a supply of compressed air for numerous laboratory experiments. A gas engine of four horse power has also been presented to this laboratory. It is the gift of the Witte Gas Engine Co., of Kansas City. It is to be arranged for use with either gas or gasoline, and will be provided with the company's latest improvements. It will be used entirely for testing purposes, serving to give the students experience in running and testing such engines. It is a most valuable addition to the laboratory and the offer on the part of the Witte Engine Co. is much appreciated. The machinery and appliances for testing the materials of engineering have been moved from the old quarters in the small room near the boiler house to the new tessing laboratory in the Powler shops. A new machine for torsion tests has been ordered and will be installed in about three weeks, and a machine for the transverse testing of timbers, designed especially for the laboratory by Prof. W. K. Palmer who has charge of the instruction in this course, is being built. When these additions to the equipment are ready the department will be much better prepared for work than ever before. Wisconsin will debate with Illinois on the question, "Resolved, That the best interests of the country would be promoted by the adoption of the bill known as the McCleary Banking Bill." The debate comes off before April 15th. Italy has 21 universities, with 600 professors and 6,200 students. CLIPPINGS. There are in the present Michigan legislature 37 college graduates. Of these 20 have been graduated from the University of Michigan. The first professorship of history was established at Oxford in 1723. Arrangements have been concluded between Cornell and Princeton for a dual track meet to be held at Ithaca, May 30. The membership of the cratorical society at Michigan is between 900 and 1,000. D. M. Ferry, of Detroit, has given $2go to be divided among the three men from Michigan winning places on the Michigan-Pennsylvania debate. North Carolina has opened the doors of her State University to women. The Y. M.C.A. of Williams college has a new building in course of erection. Germany's twenty-one universities had 32,230 students during the last semester. Iowa and Wisconsin have entered into an arrangement to have a joint debate for the next two years at least. The first will be held at Madison about April 15, 1899, and the second at Iowa City. Iowa has already proposed its question on railroad pooling, and work will commence at once. Both institutions are strong and neither is confident of winning. A new regulation has been made a Columbia University requiring football and crew men to make a total strength test of 700 or over. Baskball men, class teams, etc., must make 600 points, and men in track athletics, tennis and lacrosse must make 500 points. Italian has twenty-one Universities, with 6,000 professors and 6,000 students Wisconsin has three collegiate literary societies, whose membership limit is each about sixity. Two debates are given at each weekly session and the societies exist mainly or the purpose of producing debaters. The Freshmen members meet in a debate called the " blow out" ; the next step is the " semi-public" debate and the highest honor is to be chosen a representative of one of the societies for the annual " Joint Debate," a contest in which the society losing the previous year does not take part. The scheme is the result of a gradual evolution and that it is a good one is shown by the way in which Wisconsin debaters carry off the honors when they meet their neighbors. Two editorials which appeared a short time ago in the Chicago Weekly, criticizing a faculty order, aroused the ire of Press. Harper, and he threatened to stop the publication of the paper. The author of the offending articles resigned, but the students unanimously support the paper. 21, 1899. Work has been begun within the past week on the new $300,000 law school building at the University of Pennsylvania. The building is being erected at 34th and Chestnut streets, and will be ready for occupancy by the beginning of the fall term. Martin Wheelock, the big guard of the Carlisle Indian school football team, has been elected captain of the team for next year.

The decision of the United States Circuit Court of Apprais, vacating the injunction restraining the executors of the late Daniel B. Fayerweather of New York from paying over any money to the several institutions made beneficiaries under his will, leaves about $3,000,000 to be disposed of among twenty colleges and Universities of the United States. Though the newspapers of Germany have employed female writers and reporters on their stiffs, the first instance of a woman occupying the position of editor-in-chief in Germany is that of Frau Luxemburg, LL D., who has just been placed at the head of the editorial staff of the Sachsische Arbeiter Zeitung. Michigan University will send its base ball team east in May to play against Vale, Harvard, Princeton, Pennsylvania and possibly Cornell. This is on the authority of a prominent alumnus of the Ann Arbor college who is now in Chicago and with whom Charles Baird, "director in chief" of Wolverine athletics, had a conference last Friday. — Evening Wisconsin.

The gifts are highly appreciated by the professors and students of the engineering department. The plan of having a general manage over all Athletic events, which was advanced by the members of council and for which they made provision in the new constitution which they have submitted to the Athletic association, is a good one.

Dr. Willston has been suffering from the grip and was unable to meet his classes during the last week. Dr. Naismith addressed the Biologica club last Tuesday evening on the "Effect of Exercise." Marcy is preparing some very fine colored slides of the University campus and buildings. In illustrated lectures given by the members of the faculty throughout the states these will be the first slides thrown on the screen. During the spring term, Prof. Dyche's classes in Zoology will restie in the room now occupied by Prof. Williston's Physiology class. The Anatomy class is now engaged in the dissection of cats. They have a large key full of "pickled" specimens. Prof. McClung's class in Cytology will recite from 1 to 3 in the spring term. The Histology class will recite from 3 to 5. It is thought that the girls' gymnasium work during next term will be carried on in the attic room of the Physics building. Work so far has been greatly interfered with by the other classes and by lack of heat. A class for the training of Physical directors will be organized in a couple of weeks. Several ladies have already given in their names and it is expected the class will be large. During Mrs Smith's absence in New England the first week of the year, the ladies who conducted the Physical training gave great satisfaction. The taxadermists of Snow Hall are now at work on seals. The specimens will remain in the workshop until room can be found in which to put them on exhibition. Several basket ball teams will be formed from among the ladies. It is thought that they will be able to arrange several games with neighboring colleges. There will be many interesting tournaments held between the home teams. The faculty will play the Junior basket ball team at the rink Saturday night The Sophs play the Seniors. Mr. Stuart is at work on his report on fishes. It will be published by the state printer. The drawings for the volume are now complete. Mr. Snyce Prentis is engaged in making some lithographic plates for the University Quarterly. This is the first lithographic work that has ever been done in the University. So far all the scientific illustrations have been half-tones and prints. The drawings for lithographs have to be drawn upon a stone plate and take some very careful work. University students are invited to call at the book store of Rowlands & Bender. AMUSEMENTS. Wise neres like to talk about educating the public up to an appreciation of certain plays. The public needs no educating to enjoy a jolly farce-comedy. The taste for clean-cut humor, quick wit and catchy music is inborn in all properly constructed persons, as has been proved by the success of that capital musical comedy, "Town Topics," which will be at Dewersck's Opera House Friday, January 27. The piece has been rewritten, and three world-famed comedians are the principal performers. They are John W. World, Robert Garnella and Wm. H. Mack. These are names to conjure with. Their owners have all made a bright mark in the annals of the stage, and it is needless to tell what the play is about when it is known that these three sterling actors are to play the leading parts. Their names are a guarantee of good wholesome fun, and fun that will never lag from beginning to end. As a matter of fact, "Town Topics" has been pronounced the best of the plays of its kind that have been produced in New York for several years. Mr. Garnella has gone over it carefully during the past summer, and has introduced so many new, ludicrous situations, bright sayings and comical surprises, that it is virtually a new production. Besides the comedians, of whom there are half a dozen besides the principals, there are so many pretty young girls in the cast, that the connoisseur of feminine leveliness will fairly revel in the ensemble of beauty that will greet his eye. The management are satisfied that they have the most attractive company of young women that will be seen together this season. Popular prices 25, 35 and 50 cents.

UP-TO-DATE SENIORS AND JUNIORS TAILORING R. E. PROTSCH. 819 Mass. St. Over Daly's WERE THE VICTORS LAST SATURDAY EVENING AT THE RINK. A game of basket ball was played at th rink Saturday evening between the Seniors and Haskell, and the Juniors and Freshmen. ___ The Faculty and S. phomores Put Ups Very Good Game.-A Series of Games to Be Plaved This Winter Between the Various Classes and the Faculty. To those who never before witnessed a game of basket ball, the contest last Saturday evening was a revelation. There is a general idea that basket ball is a sort of weak substitute for football. Such is not the case. In basket ball perhaps more agility is required than on the gridiron. Moreover, the game is free, from the roughness that is found on the football field, and is of special value as an athletic sport, since it can be played as well indoors as out. Professor Naismith who is the inventor of the game was one of the referees at the rink Saturday night and explained the point of the game to the spectators Basket ball is a splendid sport for athletes and an interesting one to spectators. The series of games will do much to arouse the class spirit and will serve to keep up the interest in athletics until the base ball season opens. The score was 25 to 24, in favor of the Seniors. For the Seniors, Royal, Emley, and Sutton did the best work, while Whitney and the two Owens boys of the Sophomore team deserves special mention. A series of inter class and faculty games has been arranged. The two faculty games played last Saturday evening were merely preliminaries. What They Think of It. The first game of the evening was between the faculty and the Junior class. For the faculty, Professors Carruth, Hopkins and Barber and Messrs McClung and Hogg, with GEO. O. Foster as substitute, fought the battle. The faculty, while they understood the game, did not have as much endurance as the Juniors and consequently were defeated. The score was: Juniors 19, Faculty 8. In this contest Dennis, Sutton, Carruth, Hogg, and McClung were the stars—in fact, it was a regular 'all star combination.' After the arena had been cleared and the wounded gladiators dragged out, and while the University band rent the air with "Rock Chalk," the Sophomore and Senior teams took their respective places. This game was a very pretty one, each team giving evidence of more practice than the teams of the Junior and Faculty displayed. The whole game was exciting and until time was called, the result was in doubt. Kansas University has just adopted a new and lengthy constitution for its athletic association. The new plan has several good points about it which will doubtless unify and purify their athletic sports. However, they have so much machinery that it is likely to prove cumbersome and unwieldy. In this association there is a graduate, faculty and student membership. The officers are president, vice president, secretary and a treasurer, who is to hold his position by virtue of his office as treasurer of the University. There is to be a board of directors, consisting of eleven members, five of whom are students. For the direct supervision of sports there is a general manager, who is subject to the board of directors, but who has under his care all the team managers. Besides these there are team managers, team captains and eight standing committees. All of these furnish excellent places for aspiring young students but the scheme as a whole is open to the criticism, that where there are so many heads it will be almost impossible to place responsibility. Nebraska's plan, placing upon a board of control, consisting of five members, the entire responsibility for all the athletic interests of the University, is infinitely simpler and has worked admirably during its first half year of existence.—Nebraskan.

Kansas-Missouri Debate. Kansas-Missouri Debate. At a meeting of the committee on interstate debate, Profs.

No one but a regularly matriculated student, carrying full work in some school or department of the university and candidate for a degree shall be chosen to speak. III. Each university shall be represented by three speakers. IV. Each speaker shall be allowed fifteen minutes, and in addition, the affirmative shall have ten minutes for rebuttal and the negative eight, the closing speakers to be chosen by the sides they represent. The debaters shall speak in alternation, and the representative of the negative side shall have the closing speech in rebuttal. V. The debate shall be held on the evening of the first Friday in April, 1899 VI. Sides shall be determined one month before the debate takes place by lots cast by the chancellor at the university of Nebraska. VII. Three judges shall be chosen in the following manner: The chancellor, as president, of each University interested shall name one judge from the state of the opposing University. The third judge shall be named by the two chancellors and shall not be a resident of either stat interested. VIII. The vote of the judges shall indicate only the state winning, and in no case shall commercial gratis be given either for individuals or sides. IX. All necessary expenses connected with the debate shall be met by the University where the debate is held. T. H. Records, Secy.' for Com. It was decided to hold the final preliminary on Friday, February 24, and to let the speakers choose sides by lot, on February 23 at noon. Professor Vickery, Hopkins and Dunlap were elected a committee to select judges for the preliminary. The question selected by Nebraska was agreed to It is: Resolved: That combinations of railroads to determine rates are not desirable and should be prohibited PROF. CHAS. VICKERY, Chairman W. J. BAUMGARTNER, Secretary. A Battle of the Giants. Those who attended the Barb dance last Friday evening were witnesses to a novel contest—a contest in which neither strength nor powers of expression played a part, but a contest wherein grace and self possession were the all important factors. It was a test of dancing. For a long time a sort of unfriendly rivalry has existed between Mr. John Buttomer and Mr. James Drysdale. This feeling grew out of frequent discussions as to their ability to "trip the light fantastic." The upshot of it all was, that on last Friday evening Mr. Buttomer challenged Mr. Drysdale to a contest of dancing, the same to be held immediately. Mr. Drysdale readily consented. Vol. VII. No. 17. The dancers with the exception of our heroes, seated themselves about the sides of the rcom. The orchestra struck up sweet strains of music, the rivals, each with a lovely, shy maiden clinging to his arm, stepped out upon the floor, and the battle began. battle began. On and on whirled the contestants, now plunging forward at a terrific pace, now whirling, with the rapidity of lightning, but their every movement was grace itself. Now the rivals bent their long, supple bodies almost to the floor, now they stood stiffly erect, while each gazed with flashing eye and dilated nestil upon his enemy. Oh it was a sight to behold! These buds of manhood, whirling and bending and swaying, as if shook by some mighty breeze. And all the while the smile of conscious superiority playing over their noble features. But why dwell upon this splendid scene? The music ceased, the dancers recovered their equilibrium, and slunk away into obscurity to await the decision of the indexes. Mr. Drydsalde won by a score of 287 out of a possible 300. The Senior Law class is making an effort to secure Geo, R. Peck to deliver the annual commencement address before the law school. A Comparison. We publish below a part of an article sent to one of the state papers, by a normal graduate, and the reply, which Tom Charles, law 98, makes in his paper, the Republic City News; "I desire this article to present the merits of the state normal at Emporia, which in the past has not met with as generous a support as its usefulness demands. The Normal is at the head of our public school system and every patron of the public schools of the state is interested in it as nearly every teacher in the state has or will soon take instruction there, and it is admitted that teachers with a Normal training are better equipped than those without such training. The people then are nearer, more closely related to the normal than either of the educational institutions. A large share of the graduates of the Normal become a part of the educational force of the state, thus giving back to it what the state has given them. The Normal is pre-eminently the people's school. * * * The graduates number about 1,200. The class of 189$ numbers 126, the largest class in its history. What other school in Kansas can furnish such a record? I have said that this is the people's school. By that I mean that it is patronized by the sons and daughters of the farmer, tradesmen and workingmen who largely earn the money themselves wherewith to pay expenses. In these days when there is much said about legislation in favor of the rich, it is surprising that the legislators of Kansas do so little for the institution that is nearest to them and deal so liberally with institutions farthest removed from them and patronized largely by those who have no expectation of rendering back to the state any portion of that benefaction. * * * Notwithstanding the neglect this institution has received at the hands of the legislature, it is doing a grand work for education in the state. * * * I have said that the State Normal did not receive fair treatment as compared with the State University and Agricultural College. A comparative statement might not be amiss. I give approximate figures. Appropriations for payment of teachers: State Normal. University. Ag. Colleg Name Normal University App. Comm. $27,000 $95,000 $38,000 Number of students: 1,300 800 550 Average cost per student: $18 $114 $54 These figures need no comment. "Now my dearly beloved graduate of the K. S. N. it seems to us one of the essential things to be taught in Emporia is honesty. K. U. has no appropriation of $95,000 for teachers, but only 69,603.77 her student body is not made up of capitalists' sons and daughters, but only 2 per cent of them are of such parentage, 54 per cent of the boys and 14 per cent of the girls are self supporting; 54 per cent are the boys and girls of farmers, 14 per cent of laborers. There are not 800 students there but 1,100. And against your wonderful record of 120 graduates last year K. U. sent out 200 men and women who had taken from two to four years more work than they could obtain in Emporia. Against your 1,200 graduates she has 1,545. Why not tell that against the one course in Emporia—that of preparing country school teachers, K. U. has seven distinct and separate schools; that K. U. is a school for teachers of teachers; that she teaches more than reading, writing and spelling. She gives a score of special courses and has competent men for instructors. You can't expect surploin at the price of neck, you can't expect a Williston, a Dyche, a Carruth, a Blake, a Marvin or a Jimmy Green at the price of a Payne, a Stevenson, a McNally or a Baily. All honor and respect to our worthy K. S. N., but she bears the same relation to K. U. that a county school bears to our county high schools. In the words of your hero, Prof. Bally of Emporia, "Our Yellow dog knows more than that." To Represent the Law School. To Represent the Law School. Mr. Harry Kyle was chosen by the law school Monday as its representative at the meeting of the Kansas State Bar Association which was held in Topeka Thursday. Mr. Kyle selected as his subject "Hypnotism as a defense in criminal action." FACTS ABOUT BASKET BALL For the benefit of those who are not acquainted with the game, the Cardinal publishes a list of the fouls and the methods of scoring. 1. Touching the ball at the center of the field before either of the center men has touched it. 2. Any player except the captain of the team addressing an official during the progress of the game. 4. Carrying the ball. When a member of one side commits a general foul the opposing side is given a free throw for goal from a point fifteen feet from the goal. The following constitute general fouls: 3. Kicking the ball or striking it with the fists 5. Holding the ball. The ball must be held by the hands only. Using any other part of the body to hold or assist in holding the ball constitutes a foul. 6. Tackling, holding or pushing opponents. The arms must not be used in any way to interfere with the progress of a player who has not the ball. Grasping the clothing or person of a player with the hands or putting one or both arms about a player is called holding. 7. Delaying the game. For the following fouls the player may be disqualified: qualified; 1. Striking; 2, kicking; 3, shouldering; 4. unnecessary rough play; 5, tripping; 6. backing. The game is played in two halves usually of twenty minutes each. The teams change goals at the end of the first half. Scoring: A goal from the field counts two points; a goal made from a foul counts one point. All goals thrown count for the side into whose goal the ball was thrown, even though it was done by mistake. The department of zoology is at work upon a group of hair seals from Greenland collected by Prof. Dyche. The museum has three species of these seals in addition to a group of fur-seals. At present there is no room in the museum to place them on exhibition so they will have to be stored away until proper display rooms are furnished in a new museum building. In a late number of the Library Journal, An article appeared by Prof. George Wagner, of the department of pharmacy, on a method of preserving pamphlets. The method is the invention of the author and is a good one. It will no doubt be hailed with delight by the librarians of the country as pamphlets are very hard to preserve for any length of time without having them bound. The University has recently received a number of copies of the biennial report of the bureau of geology and mines of Missouri. It is only about sixty pages in extent, but from this it would seem that the work falls far short of the high quality attained under Dr. Keys, the former state geologist of Missouri. The work is full of scientific errors and impracticable theories. The University Quarterly has received sixteen new exchanges since the 1st of January among which are the reports of the geological survey of Russia and publications of the royal library of Berlin. The physics department has just recently received a low reading dynamometer and two high reading electrostatic volometers one of which has a range from zero to 12,000 volts. J. N.

LAWRENCE, KAN., JAN. 28, 1899. The term of the present management of the WEEKLY expires with this issue of the publication. We have appeared upon the stage of action, have played our little part, and must now give way to others. Whom, we know not. During the past term we have endeavored to give you all the news connected with the University. We have encouraged the school enterprises, have lauded our representatives in victory and soothed them in defeat. But why repeat this? We merely did what we should. Our part has oftimes been strong. Cliffs of difficulty have confronted us. We have been criticised justly accused wrongly. Just one week ago, when we thought to have passed the shoals, a storm of cruel words fell from the chapel platform upon our little bark and shattered it. Stranded, we were towed ashore by time in his flight. Weary and footsore, we have reached the goal, and now await your judgment. Let your sentence be what it may, we can but say, "We have done what we could." Don't forget the WEEKLY election Monday. February 1 is the date of the cratorical contest. Encourage our orators by attending the contest Wednesday evening. There will be no charge for admission. At the University of Michigan a silver cup will be given to the student who ranks highest in a series of inter-society debates. There is no reason why any student should not attend the Oratorical contest next Wednesday evening. A splen did program has been arranged and while there are but two orations, each one will be highly interesting and will, according to precedent, be delivered in a masterly manner. A bill providing for the granting of three year teacher's certificates to all graduates of Kansas colleges has been introduced into the legislature. Such a law would not be a good one. It would place graduates of the more thorough schools on a par with those from colleges where educationnr facilities are not so great. There should, however; be a law granting teachers' certificates to students who have pursued the study of pedagogy in the University. The clipping from an article sent to one of the state papers by a State Normal graduate which we publish in another column shows the genuine meanness of some people. The fidelity of the author of that article to his Alma Mater is hardable, but whether it shows good taste to attempt to gain appropriations for the school that he favors at the expense of some worthier institution, is a question. The author of the article either intentionally made misstatements, or was in ignorance and did not attempt to find out the true state of affairs. The appropriations which the University receives are inadequate. The school is filled to overflowing, the apparatus is insufficient thousands of dollars worth. of specim ens are stored away which should long since have had a receptacle. There can be no comparison between between the Normal and the University—each has its own line of work. Both should be supported. The Nebraskan is urging that a dramatic club be formed at Nebraska University similar to our Masque. It also advises that convocations be held three times a year. Also our idea. To the industrious college student there is a sort of weird pleasure in examinations, while the careless student finds examination week to be a protracted nightmare. There are three times a year when college students make resolutions—Once at the beginning of each term and once on New Year's day. We have every reason to feel assured that the legislature will be very favorable to the University. ECONOMIC SEMINARY. C. N. Belcher presented a very short review of Ward's new Outlines of Sociology. The author divides his work into two parts, social philosophy and social science. Society he thinks is the highest science, and should be investigated by the student at the completion of his other course. An interesting discussion on currency for the Philippines was precipitated by G. F. Brown's brief announcement of a report on the financial condition of the Philippines. He stated that the report showed there was a circulation on $40,000,000 in silver among a people numbering 8,000,000. Gold is hardly at all receivable among the native Filipinos and a silver standard is probably preferable for those people. In the discussion several methods or theories of currency were advanced as possible for these new possessions. One suggestion was the introduction of a coin of the weight and fineness of the United States dollar but not being redeemable in gold. This would then circulate at its metal value and should the Filipinos ever advance sufficiently in civilization to become members of the Union the coin could be made redeemable and would then rise to a parity with the United States dollar. Another suggestion was that a special 50 cent piece could be introduced there containing approximately 50 cents of silver, or say of the weight of our dollar, and be redeemable in gold at 50 cents. This would facilitate exchanges and being so near the present weight of a silver coin of 50 cents value in the Philippines would readily circulate with the natives at that value. At the next meeting of the Seminary, February 6, Mr. Daum is expected to report on divorces and Mr. Brown on the Annals of the American Academy. Will Try Our Plan. Kansas University is asking the legislature for something like $300,000. Of course they do not expect to get all this, but by showing their liberality in asking they expect to be dealt out to liberally. There is a point here for us. Every department would do well to send a lobby down to Topeka to work for its interests. The more we ask for the more they will think we need and the more we will get. —Students Herald. Miss Grace Duff, of Horton, a former K. U. student and a member of the Kappa fraternity, who has been visiting friends here, left Friday for Kansas City. She was accompanied there by Misses Nelle Morris and Mae Inge. School supplies at Rowlands & Benders. The first of the large spring parties we given Friday night in Pythian hall by the Beta Theta Pi fraternity, and was a most auspicious opening to the season. The hall was most elaborately decorated. Festons of evergreens were hung from the center to the sides of the room, and electric lights were used most effectively. A large Beta pin worked out in electric lights was a prominent feature of the decorations, and the pink and blue of the fraternity was also in evidence. Steinberg's orchestra of Topeka was stationed in the west end of the hall behind a screen of evergreens studded with electric lights. Dainty refreshments were served in the gallery. The guests were received by Miss Andrews, Day of Atchison, Frederica Bullne and Cross; Messrs Bradford, Leonard, Parent and Carroll. A number of out of town guests were present, among them being Miss Eva Day of Atchison, Miss Julia Simmons or Leavenworth, Mr. Guilford Dudley, Mr. Will and Mr. Lute Wikadal of Topka. The Pi Phise was most charmingly en-tertained last Saturday afternoon by the ir patroness, Mrs. J. W. Green. Progressive Old Maid was played the fore part of the afternoon, prizes being won by Misses Harriet Ayres and Frederica Bullene. At the close of the game the doors into the dining room were opened and the girls were invited to sit down to a delightful cookey-shine. When this was over a number of the girls gave an impromptu minstrel show followed by charades. A recent number of the Atchison Globe contains the announcement of the engagement of Miss Ruth Hetherington to Mr. Luther Todd, Mr. Todd formerly attended the University and was a member of the Phi Gam fraternity. Miss Hetherington also is known here. SOCIETY. A great deal of interest was felt in the University by the announcement of the marriage of Miss Ruth Grover to Mr. Arthur St. Lester Mosebe.

Carruth spent Tuesday and Thursday in Kansas City. Disappointment will not be the lot of those who go to the Opera House next Monday night with the expectation of seeing a good show, with such cards as John L. Sullivan and the stars and specialists with which he has surrounded himself. Those who have already enjoyed any one of its entertainments declare it a show worth going miles to witches. Mr. Sullivan well understands that although vaudeville may be a fad of the day it must be up-to-date, must have the best of performers and must withal interest and entertain, and to that end he has engaged such top liners as Edwards & Edwards, clever in illustrated song act; Rochefort & May, two clever girls in something quite unique for ladies up-to-date songs, parodies and funny sayings: Petching Bros., musical comedians; Bertina & Crouch, acrobats and contortion dance; Lowry & Francis, clever entertainers in a spirited sparring bout in which Miss Francis proves a very pretty and agile female athlete; Begley & Lee in their original talking act, 'Muldoon on the Fiddler'; Ryeford Sisters, clever singers and exponents of national dances; and the great champion club juggler of the world, Darmody. The play is one ladies and children may witness without being offended at anything seen or heard. This is one of Mr. Sullivan's great points, to have his show clean and above reproach. One of the novelties sure to interest all will be the gymnasium scene, showing Mr. Sullivan at work just as when in strict training for the fight of his life; punching the bag, using the jump-rope and sparing three not rounds with his partner. To make the scene more realistic and novel, Mr Sullivan has engaged as sparring partner the ex-champion of America; Jake Kilrain. This will be their first meeting since their great fight for championship of the world, over ten years ago. Captain Mosse was interviewed by a WENKEN reporter shortly after the holidays. On being questioned about the report that he was married, Captain Mosse denied that there was any truth in the rumor. At home cards were received in Lawrence this week announcing the marriage of Arthur St. Leger Mosse to Miss Ruth G over. Why Did He Deny It? Mr. Mose and Miss Grover were married at St. Joe during the holidays. Why Mose denied it, no one is able to conjecture. It may have been his habitual shyness or perhaps the inquisitiveness of the reporter that led Mr. Mose to telling an untruth. Miss Grouser graduated from the University last year. She went to Kansas City last September and since then has been teaching in one of the graded schools The students unite in wishing Captain Moss and his bride a long life and one wherein there shall never be a "scrim mage." ___ Dancing. Miss Eva Brown's second term of dancing begins February 11, at Pythian hall. Telephone 210-2. New term means new courses of study and that means new text books. Rowlands & Bender will supply you. The Goss Collection. The Kansas City Star of recent date contained an article stating that there was auspicious that the Goss collection of North American birds would be moved from Topeka to the University, where it might be used for scientific purposes. The collection was presented to the state in 1886 by Col. N. S. Goss, and at that time was valued at $100,000, being probably the finest collection of North American birds in the world. After the death of Col. Goss the collection has been sadly neglected, being taken from one room to another, until it is now in the musty basement of the state house where its usefulness is lost and its value is decreasing every day. It would seem entirely proper that the natural history department of the University should have charge of the collection and thus give its students an opportunity to study it without extra expense to themselves, besides insuring the best care and giving the casual sightseeer as good a chance to see the birds here as anywhere else in the state. Athletic Association Meeting. The members of the Athletic Association held a meeting Tuesday noon for the purpose of considering the new constitution which was submitted by the University council. The constitution was almost unanimously adopted. By this action the present athletic board was disorganized and the question came up for consideration whether the shares should be offered for sale before the election of the new athletic board. The motion for the affirmative finally carried. The meeting then adjourned. Wanted. Reliable man for manager of Branch Office I wish to open in this vicinity. If your record is o.

This sum is to be devoted to the erection of a fire-proof library building. A new class of honorary fellowships has been created this year at Cornell University. Those holding the Ph.D. degree from any institution may obtain these fellowships, which carry no emolument, but allow free tuition, the use of the library, etc. The University of North Carolina is now open to women. The corner stone of the Gordon Memorial College was laid recently at Khartoum, Egypt. The college is wholly undenominational and the instruction will be conducted in the Arabic language. A course of lectures is to be delivered at Cornell on the subject of railroads, by President Baldwin of the Long Island railroad. Chicago has chosen the negative of the question to be debated with Michigan, which is "Admitting it to be constitutional, a federal graduated income tax is desirable." The debate will be held in Chicago on April 7. The students of Cornell University have contributed about $600 for the support of the track team. Yale has been presented with two valuable gifts, both rare historical manuscripts of unusual importance. One is the original manuscript of the notes and sermons of Rev. Timothy Edwards,father of Jonathan Edwards. It is dated 1719. Wisconsin is talking of starting a training table for the girls basket ball team. Professor Edmund J. James, of the University of Chicago, has been offered the presidency of the University of Cincinnati. -Oberlin Review. The board of control of John Hopkins has decided to extend the usefulness of the University by offering systematic courses of twenty lectures each, designed especially for the benefit of public school teachers. Only two departments enter the work this year, in order that the plan may be tested, and if it proves satisfactory, other departments will offer courses with the same purpose in view. By the will of the late David A. Wells, Harvard and Williams are each to receive a fund, the interest of which should amount to $500 annually. The students to receive it must be a member of the Senior class, and the best essay on an economic subject is to be the standard upon which the fund is awarded. This prize is as large as Harvard University now offers. Unlike a scholarship, it is contingent on merit, and no charity plea will be allowed to affect the awarding of the money. By a recent vote of the corporation of Harvard University, $100,000 has been added to the library fund. Owing to the decline in the income of the library books, many needed books could not always be bought and accordingly a petition was sent to the corporation asking for an increase in the fund. Dr.Ira Remsen, head professor of chemistry in the John Hopkins University, will be the next commencement orator at Colby. The interest; of the approaching commencement will center about the fine, new chemical laboratories now in process of completion. Cornell appears to have been overlooked by Harvard and Yale in their rowing plans. The latter two colleges went ahead and arranged for a regatta at New London without consulting Cornell. Cornell was then asked to join them in a race there, but declined, so that there will be one held at a convenient place in which Columbia, Cornell, Wisconsin and other schools will participate. A new 'Varsity record for the running high jump was established at the University of Chicago indoor track meet. L. Byrne, a graduate student at the University, who was a member of the University of Illinois track team last season, accomplished the feat, clearing the bar five feet seven inches on the gymnasium floor. The jump is one inch higher than the best previous record, outdoor as well as indoor, at the University. Walter Schmahl equaled the former record, jumping second to the Illinois man at five feet, six inches. The new study $will require new books, Rowlands & Bender can supply you.

Cable was the "most important literary event of the season. A favorable place in nearly all Mr. Cable's programs is occupied by a Creole song. His sympathetic adaptability is marvelous, and the musical quality of his ringing voice is in perfect accord with his mental flexibility. The music and feeling in the songs themselves, so far as we might venture to classify things so rare and strange seemed to be a curiously-mingled medley of French troubadour grace and wild, African fervor, illusion-producing, haunting, evanescent, yet unforgettable.

Mother—I gave each of you boys an orange. Charlie, you said you wouldn't eat yours until after dinner. You and Jack, said the same. Have you deceived me? A high army officer whose fad was ventilation was one day making an inspection of a frontier post which was much in need of repair. In some places the roof showed the blue sky overhead and the walls were ornamented with gaps. Too Much of It. Juvenile Diplomacy.

Before the colonel could reply the old sergeant, with a familiarity born of long service, said As they proceeded the general asked "And how is the ventilation, colonel." Charlie —No, mother; we didn't eat our own oranges. I ate Jack's and he ate mine. —Sydney Town and Country Journal Two well known English plants, the thistle and the rape, are so imminual that if a field is infested with thistles, which come up year after year and ruin the crops, all you have to do is to sow it with rape.
