IN THE EAST.
Behold the day is done and through the air,
From the Muezzin's tower the call to prayer;
Bow, bow to Allah, Most Compassionate.
O'er the wide plains the flute-call of the boll,
From thousand minarets doth nightly tell
Jt is to Allah, man intrusts his fate.
Chime on, still chime, oh, musical, soft bolls,
Time never will outgrow this need which
dwells
Within man's heart?nor make prayer obsolete.
But as the Deed grows greater, greater too
Will be the prayer; to worship, and to do,
These two will round the circle, full, complete.
?Hatfic T. Grisuold, in Current.
A PRINCESS OF SPAIN.
It was a small,square pine board, neatly
lettered, with some attempt at ornamentation?by
no means unsuccessful
either. It was tacked at the left-hand
side of the door, between it and the first
of tbc five rows of dirty windows, winkng
s'eepily in the face of the hot summer's
sun; and it bore these words:
"Dressmaking and repairing neatly done.
Inquire within.''
The "within" looked dubious. The
long, dark hall wore a treacherous air,
hinting at stumbling blocks for the
thoughtless, and traps for the unwary.
Xor were the fears of a timid venturer at
all allayed by the instantaneous appearance
at each door?there were twelve,
six on a side?of a frouzy-looking head
of hair, with a face somewhere bolow
that showed a brave disdain of soap and
an equal contempt for water.
"Four flights up, mum; turn squar'
around and go to the left." would be the
responding chorus should the explorer,
plunged into fresh perplexity as to
which of the many interiors was mc
"within." venture an interrogation for
enlightenment. Should'the voyager be
rash enough to brave further dangers?
no voyager ever was, but wc are supposing
a case?he would desperately begin
the perilous asent with the sundry reflections
as to the uncertainty of human
life, the shrill vociferation of voices still
unitedly proclaiming "four flights up,"
like the chorus of a Grecian tragedy.
Moreover, as before remarked, no visitor
ever sought to elTect an entrance to
the penetralia of this mysterious domain,
so, as far as those matters went,
the would-be dressmaker and repairer
must have expended her energies upon
the apparel of herself and royal highness;
for in this room, "four flights up
and turn to the left," dwelt the princess
of Spain.
It was near the close of an unusually
sultry afternoon, that a young woman
might have been seen toiling up the
steeD heights, slowly, yet with a care
les?ne?s that bespoke familiar knowledge
cf the way, or a disposition to place her
own life at less than par value. Having
reached the summit in triumph, she
paused a moment to recover breath.
The hall was small and narrow. They
all began long and narrow, and shrunk
gradually with each flight?a curious
fact that seemed to be applicable equally
to the occupants. Light falling through
the skylight above revealed a slight,
graceful figure, somewhat too thin to be
considered strictly beautiful; and a face,
pretty, though colorless and careworn,
by no means a 3'oung girl's face; rather,
just now, the face of an old, old woman,
who had long passed hope, and laid happiness
by for ever.
But such a countenance for a moment
only. As her hf.nd turned the handle of
the door, a complete metamorphosis took
place. She had recovered her breath,
: and, with a merry snatch of song upon
her lips, entered the room. The room
boasted two windows, one a vain and
inglorious subject for pride, 9ince the
iinnrniriiv oDnosite completely
excluded light or air. The other commanded
a sweeping vista of unswept
dooryards and disconsolate ash-heaps,
with a wide horizon of old clothes-line
nnd tattered linen, each garment clinging
to its neighbor for mutual support
in a devoted manner touching to behold.
A small bed was placed between these
two windows, and upon it lay a wee
morsel of humanity; or rather, at the
moment she was propped up on one arm,
with her facc to the door. It was a
strange face: in fact, it was not a face,
but eyes. They were so large and weird,
set in such small, thin features that one
forgot there was a face at all. The hand
she rested upon wns transparent; the
arm which supported the hand was
transparent; in fact, the small elf was a
transparency complete?any campaign
club could have utilized her with but
slight difficulty.
And this was the princess of Spain.
"I'm so glad you've come," 991a Her
highness, sinking back upon her pillow,
with a transparent little smile.
"Was I long gone, dear? Well, see
now what I have brought you.'' The
speaker placed a parcel upon the counterpane;
removing the wrapper, was disclosed
:t small wicker basket, loosely
filled with fresh cut flowers.
" Oh, breathed the princess, and her
hands clasped rapturously.
"Ah. I knew that would please you,"
smiled the other, "and I cau get some
more on Thursday."
"But they cost so much," whispered
princess, iu quite au unprincess like
ller atn-ttrboit laughed. Ruth Trevor's
laugh could uot'fail to strike the dullest
ear ts singularly sweet and pleasant
, music, though a weary minor note of
pathos vibrated throuch even its most
joyous chords.
"It is a mission, dear,'' she explained
"Some beautiful ladies have made it.
They give the flowers away."
God bless them!" whispered the
princtss, reverently, her face buried
* among her roses.
"Yes, God bless them!" echoed Ruth
?only the words were not a mere echo?
nnd she kissed the thin face, and with
her work went and sat down at the window
where air and sunlight were excluded.
The princess lay back on her pillow
caressing the flowers. Their fragrance
sollly tilled the room. It was such a very
small room that a very few would have
sufficed for that; a very thin, much
shrunken little room, and gave the lie direct
to that brave old saying, "There's
always room at the top."
"Ruth," spoke the princess, at length,
"the flowers are getting tired."
"They are only thirsty." said Ruth,
and she forthwith laid aside her work,
and. bringing a cracked bowl from some
mvsterious recess, arranged the flowers
w.thin.
"Put them where I can touch them,
Ruth," whispered the princcss.
Thereupon her busy handmaid drew
to the side of the low cot a small pine
nlilo n/if l?v nnr mpjns nn article of
.%uv,v' "* v VJ ?J ?t ? ? "
virtu, but by reason of being the largest
article the room contained, the small
table seemed to bear itself with quite a
jaunty and important air.
'They are like the flowers tliat grow
in my garden," said the princess, alter a
pause.
Ruth raised her head with an understanding
smile.
"Is it very fair to-day?" she asked.
"It is beautiful to-day," said the child,
clasj.iug her little haiuh. "There are
yards and yards of green field, and the
brooks are all singing. Oh, Ruth! don't
you hear the brooks sing?"
"Sometimes I hear them,*' answered
the older sister, softly, raising her eyes
with a far-away musing iu them. "It is
very beautiful, dear."
She went back to her work again,
looking out for an instant as she passed
the window, where air and sunlight?
such as they were?did come in, aud up
ward where the sky showed, blue ana
fair. Thank God, the sky is fair to rich
and poor alike; and once again her face
was as the face of an old woman, though
the beautiful, sid eyes, gazing upward,
held something of the passion and pain
of life not wholly withered and dead.
"The beautiful ladies will give me
more flowers, Ruth," questioned the
princess, wistfully.
"More flowers, dear, on Thursday,"
answered Ruth, p.lready busy with her
work.
It was two miles out of her way, and
the <un was very warm, and car-tickets
were a luxury the princess' sister could
not afford; nevertheless, the president
of the flower charity, busily putting the
finishing touches to a bouquet, and talking
as she worked to a grave, handsome
man beside her, saw the slight young
figure enter the rooms that Thursday afternoon,
and smiled?a true, womanly
smile?across the intervening space.
"That is she." she whispered to her
companion. "I will beckon her this
way. Now you must make her talk, for
she is very proud, or else t^tremely shy."
Neither shyness nor pride, however,
could hold their ground against such
smile and cordial greeting as awaited
Iiuth Trevor when she stood before the
two. Gradually she told her story, quite
simply, never dreaming, so adroitly was
she questioned, that she was telling it at
r
all. And it was so easy to tell of the
little one at home?that was what she
called the shrunken little rooiA on the
margin of the fourth precipice?when
the flowers thnt were to make her happy
for many a day were put into hor sister's
willing hands.
MYnat is your occupation?'* asked
young Dr. Fargood, suddenly.
"1 tried to get dressmaking?I think I j
could have done that well"?raising earnest
eyes to his?"but?I failed; so"?
with a brave little smiie?"I do slopwork."
The doctor stared. ''I make
men's jackets,'' explained liuth, meeting
the uncomprehending* look. "Sometimes
it is something else?just now I
am working on gingham blouses."
''And how much can you make at
that!" abruptly, but by no means unkindly.
' They pay me thirty cent?, a dozen for
the blouses, and I make a. dozen a day;
sometimes, when I can afford?when I
have a candle?I make a dozen and a
half."
"I will come and see your sister,"
said Dr. Far^ood, after an eloquent silence.
"Perhaps I may be able to help
her."
"Oh. if you could, sir!" cried Ruth,
wistfully; "but "
"I shall try, went on the doctor,
calmly, taking no note of the proposition.
or of the riushed, troubled color
coming and gcing in the pretty face, "to
do her some good: and it may assist me.
I like to study such cases when I have
the chance."
He spoke in quite a cool, business-like
way?almost cruelly, Ruth thought, as
if that wee little thing were a creature
to be studied and analyzed. And "when
he had the chance!" Such cases, alas!
were not rare, and none knew this better
than Dr. Fargood. It was a noble
deception, however, well accomplishing
its object. The doubtful sentence was
not completed. The proud color faded,
and she thanked the physician without
that bitterness which is poverty's heritage
when the soul of the possessor thereof
is cursed with pride.
The succceding day the young doctor,
with a recklessness fearful to behold,
bade defiauce to the meuacing perils of
the four precipices, and wholly uninjured
and in no wisedisconcertedj fouud
himself, dispensing with unnecessary
ceremony, usherecl into me presemx ui
her royal highness.
He bent over the small creature with
a woman's tenderness.
"What is your name, little one?" he
asked.
The child raised her weird eyes to
his.
"I am the princess of Spain," she answered
sedately.
Amazement stamped itself for an in
I stant on Dr. Fargood's face; then a
I comprehensive smile swept it away.
"Just so," he said; "I see. Where is
your castle?"
"In Spain, of course," answered the
princess, "somewhere?I have never
been. My back is bad. "When it is better
I shall" go. Uut I know just how it
looks. It is a very beautiful castle."
"Tell me about it," said the doctor,
gently.
"It's not much like a story book castle,"
with a queer little smile, "it isn't
j cold stone. It's painted red, and the
I trees are so big arouud it they just reach
their long arms to each other and shake
hands across the roof. The birds sing
all day loDg; and there are roses and
roses, and tields full of green." The
child had risen on one arm. Her eyes
were brilliant, and the thin little face
seemed transfigured. "The sea is there,
too,"she whispered. "Littlegreen waves
running to catch each other all down my
beach. Oh, hark?" holding up one I
transparent hand?"how the waves
sing!" The child sank back upon her I
pillow, a perfect silence filling the room. J
Suddenly something splashed down upon I
the little transparency the princess called
her hand. "Why, you're crying!" she
began, increduously, lifting astonished
eyes.
"Not a bit of it," shrilly maintained
the doctor. "I was only thinking'how
I pleasant it is. Your estate must lie very
close to mine."
"Where dii she ever hear of the dream
castles of Spamr' ne asseu, prescuuy,
aside to Ruth,
' I read herastory once.outof a book,"
Ruth answered. "It pleased her, and
she seemed so to delight in these fancies,
I think they are sometimes real to her.
It is foolish; we are both foolish for?I
see them sometimes, too."
"I am foolish, also, then," returned
the doctor.
He was looking down directly upon
! the pretty face with its troubled color
coming and going, and so saw that swift
uprising of her eyes to his.
"Do you think so?" she asked, too
eager for his answer to note the look he
bent upon her ere it came.
"I am sure of it," he replied. "Every
man, I believe, has some castles in that
wonderful land, I myself am a large
property owner there."
"I am so glad!" she said, simply, not
looking at him, and so seeing not the
swift gladness that shone an iustant in
his eyes, as if something in her words,or
I thoughts of his which her words had
created?had pleased him. "It don't
seem so silly for us."
"Good-by,my little princess," he said,
presently, turning to the bed. "I shall
"drop in' and see your ladyship, to-morrow."
And by the time he had descended the

After he bad gone, the child lay quite
I still upon her little bed, her eyes closed,
and bo;h hands clasped across her breast.
Ruth sewing swiftly by the departing
daylight.
<l Ruth," said the princcss, at length,
after that long, long silence, opening her
j eyes and looking at the pretty profile by i
j the window, " the prince has coine i
i a-visiting."
| " Nonsense, dear,'' said Ruth, but a
i little frightened color crept up into the
i pale face bent low over the work, and
j the busy fingers flew on faster.
" He has come," repeated the child,
| dreamily. "He is very handsome, but
it is not just that. lie is noble and good.
He does not even laugh like other?storybook?princes.
There is a trust in his
laugh. "What a fine, good, beautiful
prince he is!"
Ruth stole one startled glance toward
the princess dreaming, and answered
never a word,
Young I)r. Fargood came not only the
next day, true to his promise, but the
i next, and the next, and every succeed
I ing day thereafter through that hot
J stilling August weather. Was it the
I princess alone whose eyes brightened,
! hearing daily that familiar step? Was it
j the princess only who dreamed her
i dreams after the cchocs of that step had
! died away for another day. Ruth was
I very quiet, wistful, anxious. All the
skill which Dr. Fargood, the young
physician who bid lair to stand at the
head of his profession ore many years
went by, could chiim and exercise was
j bestowed upon the wee little mortal who
lay so patiently, day after day and night
i after night, upon her little cot. iiut
j that skill, alas!availed but little. Ruth's
eyes were too dim. often, to sec the possible
brightness of a horizon just beyond,
but love has dominion even over
the realms that Azrael guards; and the
princess, clear-eyed and patient, saw
something, perhaps, not dreams of Spanish
vistas, and smiled contentedly upon
her little cot, even with the darkness of
the Death angel's wings casting their
shadow above her head.
Ah, that terrible weather! Days when
the sun beat down upon the little roof,
so hot and fierce that it seemed as the
covering of a furnace. The great wall
of theungainly tenement opposite seemed
to radiate heat, and even when the sun
went down no cooling breath arose.
Dr. Farirood had proposed removing
the sick child, but the princess had negatived
this.
*I could cot go anywhere." she had
said, with her wan little smile. "If I
could"?looking up with wistful eyes
that clung to their beguiling hope?"I
should go to Spain."
She talked much, in those days, of her
far-olf possessions.
"They are different from what I
thought them," she said, once. "Much
more beautiful, Ruth, than even the red
house and the green meadows, with the
brook running among the trees."
At other times she lay for hours quite
still, with the white lids hiding the
dreams in her eyes, and her thin, white
bands clasped across her breast.
"It is too late," said Dr. Fargood,
once, seeing her thus. And at the foot
of the lower precipice, with that white,
still face before him, and another, dearest
of all faces in the world to him, he
cursed in his heart the civilization that
had wrought such wreck and ruin.
One evening, just at dark, the princess
opened her eyes?
"Ruth," she called, softly.
Ruth dropped her work and came over
to the bed.
"Ruth," said the princess, "isn't it J
Btrange! I have been growing weak, '
_
weak every day. I could not even lift
myself now. You know I said I should
not go until I got well, and yet, every
day, it lias seemed as if I were getting
ready to go to Spain."
Ruth dropped on her knees beside the
bed. Some one knocked without, and
I then softly pushed open the door and I
entered. He came over beside the prin- |
cess, who smiled up at him, moved her
little thin hand to put it in his.
"Ruth, dear," said the princess, again,
after another pause. '"Ruth, dear, some- j
how it seems as if I were ready, now, to ,
go to Spain."
A sob shook the slight figure kneeling j
beside the Ited. The princess turned be- j
seeching eyes upon the doctor, lie read i
their prayer, and in like silent fashion !
answered it. The princess smiled. The
| The dusk came on deeper, and every j
thing grow very still.
' Ruth," cried the princess, at length, j
and a great joy trembled in her tone, "i
have found tho way."
And a deeper silence fell, while the
j hand the doctor held grew slowly cold
! in his warm clasp.
In the darkness at leneth Ruth lifted ;
her head.
"I know," she sobbed. "Leave me j
now."
lie paused a moment irresolute, and
then came and knelt beside her.
"I shall not leave you now." he said.
| '"Soon, if you wish. But our little one
I gave me a message before she went upon
i her journey, and I should like to give it
! to you now."
| Silence for a moment. In its hush the
j two?the living?rose from their knees
| and stood in tha darkness beside the
dead.
"It is a simple message, Ruth," said the
doctor, "and I would not deliver it now,
but that I think you need its comfert.
Dear, put your hand in mine and wc will
go to Spain.
"Ah," sp^ke the weary voice, "but we
cannot. There is no road to Stmin but
death."
"There is another way," said Dr. Fargood,
and in the darkness she caught the
unsteady whisper of his voice. "One is
the way our little one has gone ?the way
men call death. And the other?oh, my
darling! my darling! the other way is
love!"
He had drawn nearer her. Ilis arms
reached out to her. It was not a gesture
of appeal; it spoke protection, refuge,
strength. Ruth Trevor laid both licr
hands in both those waiting ones.
"Show me the way," she whispered,
softly. "Love, let ug go to Spain."?

The Right Sort or a Tenant.
"Oh, yes, I have all kinds of tenants,"
said a kind-faced old gentleman to a
Chicago Herald reporter: "but one that
I like the best is a child not more than
ten years of age. A few years age I got
a chance to buy a piece of land over "on
the west side, and I did so. I noticed
that there was an old coop of a house on
it. After a while a man came to me
and wanted to know if I would rent it
to him."
" "What do you want it for?" says I.
" 'To live in,' he replied.
"'Well,' I said, 'you can have it.
Pay me what you think it is worth to
you.'
"The first month he brought $2, and i
the second month a little boy, who said
he was this man's son, came with $!).
After that I saw the man once iii awhile,
but in the course of time the boy paid
the rent regularly, sometimes $2 and
sometimes $3. One day I asked the boy
what had become of his father."
" 'He's dead, sir,' was the reply.
"'Is that so?' said I. 'How long
since?'
" 'More'n a year,' he answered.
"T tnrtlr hia mnncv. hut I made UI) mv
mind that I would go over and investigate,
and the next day I drove over there.
The old shed looked quite decent. I
knocked at the door and a little girl let
me in. I asked for her mother. She
said she didn't have acy.
" 'Where is she," said I.
"'We don't know, sir. She went
away after my father died and we've
never seen her since."
"Just then a little girl about three
years old came in, and I learned that
these three children had been keeping
house together for a year and a half, the
boy supporting his two little sisters by
blacking boots and selling newspapers,
'and the elder girl managing the house
and taking care of the baby. Well, I
just had my daughter call on them, and
we keep an eye on them now. I thought
I wouldn't disturb them- while they are
getting along. The next time the boy
came with the rent I talked with him
a little, and then I said:
"My boy, you're a brick. You keep
rirrM. on ns von have bcirun and vou
? J o ^
will never be sorry. Keep your little
sisters together and never leave tliem.
Now look at this."
"I showed him a ledger in which I
had entered up all the money that he
had paid me for rent, and I told him it
was all his with interest. 'You keep
right on,' says I, 'and I'll be your
banker, and when this amounts to a little
more I'll sec that you get a house somewhere
of your own.' That's the kind
of a tenant to have.1'
Making: Them Look Natural.
"Have you ever heard of dead men's
faces being painted to make them look
natural P asked a Broadway barber of a
reportorial customer who had dropped
into a chair.
4'Xo," was the answer.
"Well, I have done several jobs of that i
kind so artistically that the friends of \
the deceased complimented me and paid j
me big money. Drop your chin a little
?there. I was called by an undertaker
a while ago to paint the face of a :
wealthy man who had accidentally shot j
himself through the temple so that the
wound discolored both sides of the face.
Razor pull, eh? No? I took water color
paints and fine brushes along, ana after
applying collodion to the discolored j
parts of the face, I painted it as near the !
I Tintnr;il rnmnlfxion of the deceased I
as I could. Close shave, eh? j
All right. Of course, I was
alone with the corpse and the un i
dertaker's assistant, and none of the j
relatives of the dead man saw me do the i
job. Sit up a little higher, please.
When I got through the face looked so ;
natural that it surprised me. The relatives
of the deceased were called in and ,
J pronounced the face very natural and ;
| true to life. But I took care to lintl out
j when the corpse was going to be buried, !
for 1 knew that the discoloration would '
return again after the paint got dry: so
I finished up my work a couple of hours
before the lid was put on the casket. I
got a big pricc for that job. Have a
sea-foam? No? Bay rum? No?
"I got another job; it was to paint
the face of a man who had died in California,
and while the remains were being
brought here they became greatly
discolored. The relatives wanted to
have the corpse look nice and the undertaker
sent for me. I struck a bargain,
as an artist in such work would,
and secured a bitrger pricc than 1 ex!
pected. Part your hair on the left side?
I <) K! Well. I worked like a beaver
over that blackened face, and got it to j
look quite natural; but I knew it j
wouldn't last long, so I got the under- I
taker to hurry up the funeral, which lie
did. Everybody who saw the face said
it was natural.
"Oh, I can do such jobs to the quecu's
tarte, but I haven't had a call for some
i time. I have frequent calls from up- j
town swells, who have accidentally, you
know, got their eyes blackened, and for |
a dollar or two I rub collodion over them j
and touch them up with llesh colored j
water color paint. I can make dead
faces look like live ones. Fifteen cents,
please. Thanks. Brush?"?Xctc York

SOMETHING ABOUT A LSADXVQ
AMERICAN COLLEGE.
' ? * <* " *
Situation of New Haven'* Great t'nlvcrslty?A
Yale "Frenliman"?The
Student*' Daily Routine.
Walter Squires writes in Cornell's Family
Magazine about Yale College. "We
make the subjoined extracts:
The two cjreat universities of the new
world arc Harvard and Yale. They aro
easily lirst in the work already accomplished
in the efficiency of their instructors
tlir> nrliim-nmerits of their alumili,
and the prestige which attaches to acknowledged
merit. If there is anything
old in America it is these two seats of
learning. Yale, as being more familiar
to the writer of this sketch, has been
chosen as a representative American college.
It is situated in New Haven, a city
of about fifty thousand souls, on the
northern shore of Long Island Sound, in
the State of Connecticut, about seventyfive
miles cast of New York. The City
of Elms is one of the most beautiful in
Ameiica. Its long avenues, lined on
cither side with the stately trees from
which it takes its name, its splendid
dwellings, surrounded by well-kept lawns,
the air of age and dignity and repose
about the place, all render it peculiarly
attractive to the scholar and a fitting
home for a great university. It has
its factories, to be sure?what New England
town has not??but they arc nearly
alt to be found at one end of the city,
and do not disturb at all the quiet of the
academic quarcer. In the center of the
city is an immense square, called "the
green," on which stands the old state
house, three churches, and a great number
of magnificent elm trees. Upon the
adjoining square, and facing the Green,
is the long line of college buildings, the
"Old Brick How," dating from the year
1750, and resembling more a collection
of rude barracks or noorcr class of New
England factories than the buildincs of
a great college. In front of the old

ever-present ancient elms. At one end
of the "row," nnd forming three sides of
a quadrangle facing ns many streets,

buildings, the two dormitories, Farnam
and Durfee halls, the Battall chape!, Alumni
hall md the library with the art
school building at the opposite end, behind
South college on Chapel street.
The really tine buildings are too
new. the old chapel buildings suggest
too strongly the machinery, smoke
and bustle of a great factory, to impress
the mind with any idea of
academic or cloistcred seclusion. But
such as it is, it is Yale college, the almamater
of thousands of distinguished and
successful men who have gone from her
halls well equipped for the struggles of
life, and have, by great and solid
achievement, shed lustre and renown
upon her ancient name.
The youth of eighteen, upon entrance
into the Freshman class, finds himself
into a veritable little world by itself, a
world of a thousand souls, wrapped up
in their own adairs and those of the college,
oblivious to all that is passing
without, and busy with the cares and
auxieties, me amouions ana uisappumt*
mcnts, the rivalries anil bitternesses of
the little world within. The Freshman
clas3 usually numbers about one hundred
and seventy-five, and is known by the
year of its graduation. For example,
the class which entered college last autumn
is called the class of '88. The
freshmen are the traditioual enemies
of. the sophomores, or second-year
men. The "sophs" never permit
"freshio" to wear a tall hat, carry
a cane, -or sit upon the fence
which surrounds the campus, until he
has reached the year of discretion?that
is, has become a sophomore?when the
honor is conferred upon him with much
ceremony and witty speech-making. To
sit on the fence is a great privilege,
which the three upper cla?ses alone enjoy.
The "fence'' is the daily meetingplace,
the rendezvous after lectures, the
delight of the lazy, the place par excellence
for a chat with one's fellows and a
social cigar. On fine summer evenings
the throng of students is great, the songs
really fine; and with the bie elms overhead,
through which twinkle the lights
from the old "row" mingled with the
pale light of the moon, the elTect is
simply unique, and one Jong to be
cherished in the memory.

The daily life of a student may he
briefly stated. The great bell of the college
arouses him from his slumbers at
7 o'clock. He makes a hasty toilet and
repairs to his "club"' for breakfast. By
"club" is meant simply the diningroom
in any boarding-house in the
vicinity of the college where six or a
dozen men take their meals. Conning
his lesson and making his breakfast at
the same time, he neither masters the one
or enjoys the other. At eight the bell
summons him to chapel, where the whole
college assembles to protit by the reading
of scripture and prayer by the venerable
president and the singing of the student
choir. At 8.00 he attends his first
lecture or recitation, which la^tsan hour,
lie is then free to do as he pleases until
noon, when the bell rings for attendance
on the second recitation. At one he
dines, and the nfternoon is his own until
five o'clock, when another lecture or
recitation is held. He is absolute master
of all the rest of his time. The dormitories
are never locked. lie can stay out
of college all night, if he pleases, and no
one is the wiser. There is no surveillance,
no stringent rules. The authorities expect
all to act like gentlemen, and, as a
rule, the liberty and privileges are not
abused. For sports there are boating
and foot-ball, tennis and base, and many
others. The event of the junior ye.ir
is the promenade concert or reception
given in the Opera House in town by the
class to their friends. It occurs in February
and makes a pleasant break in the
long winter term.?CusscfVs M<i<jazi.re.

"Allow me," writes a correspondent,
"to suggest a simple means of getting
rid of those pests. In the year 1855 I
was in command of the British vessel
'Tubal Cain,' lying alongside the wharf
at Melbourne, embarking Chinese passengers
for llong Kong. The docks were
so infested with rats that it was impossible
to prevent their getting on board,
and my vessel was well stocked with
them. After being at sea a few days I
mustered the passengers, with their effects,
on deck, to give them an airing,
and for the purpose of giving the pas
sengerciccK a goou cieansuig. anu sprinkling
some chloride of lime mixed with
water. I also had a couple of buckets of
the same mixture poured down the
pumps. This I continued weekly, when,
to my surprise, the rats made a raid on
the cabin (poop) on deck, and became so
troublesome that neither myseif nor my
officers cared about turning in at night.
A happy thought struck me?that the
chloride of lime had driven them from
below deck; so I had everything cleared
out of the cabin and the storerooms, and
freely used the mixture. This had the
desired elTcct, the rats taking shelter in
every available place outside. This gave
us some good sport, especially on a moonlight
night, when all hands engaged in
hunting rats and driving them overboard,
so that by the time we arrived at Hong
Konir not one was left on board. On
my return to England I took a house and
furnished it. After being in it a short
time, I found that it was infested with
rats. They would iret through every
part 011 the ground floor. On examination,
I discovered that a drain ran under
the house, emptying into the harbor. I
here again used the chloride of lime
freely, and in less than a week every rat
had taken its departure. I have recommended
this remedy to many shipmasters
and friends on shore, and in all cases
it has proved a success. I have occupied
my present residence for five years, and
we have neither rat nor mouse on the
premises. I attribute this to the free use
of the above mixture, which is also effective
as a deodorizer and disinfectant."

Original Use of Steeples.
In speaking of the usefulness of church
steeples, we would not have it understood
that their only use has been in
connection with the bells. Along the
coast there can be no doubt that they
were often usod as beacons before the introduction
of light houses. At Happisburgh,
in Norfolk, a lofty steeple?alas!
too near the ever-grasping waves?has
had its steps well-nigh worn away by
the continual traffic to its summit. We

when the country bccame alarmed at the
approach of the Spanish Armada. Nowadays
our steeples arc made to serve
more utilitarian purposes in carrying
vanes, weathercocks and flagstaffs. Although
very rarely indeed met with in
the churches themselves, ancient fireplaces
are by no means uncommon in
steeples. They are usually on the first
floor, and have flues going to the top in
the thickness of the wall. It has never
been satisfactorily proved for whose use
they could have been intended. Some
have supposed that such towers as have
them must at somo time or other have
been watch-towers; but in remote inland
districts it seems more reasonable to suppose
that recluses dwelt in such places.
With bare walls and narrow loopholes,
they must have been at all times
wretched habitations; but picture, if
you can, such an abode on a windy
night. The gloomy surroundings, the

Violin Making.
An instructive discussion has arisen in
some of the musical journals in regard to
the making of violins. Mr. Schradicck
of the Cincinnati College of Music, an
excellent performer upon the violin, thinks
that the secret of the old Cremona makers
has been discovered, and that it consists
in using for their instruments the
wood of a tree containing balsam. This
tree, lie says, used to be planted in the
neighborhood of Cremona, but it is no
longer to be found in Italy. Hut at last
the marvelous tree was found in this
country, and one was felled and sent to
Cincinnati. Mr. Schradieck does not tell
whether it was a pine, a spruce, a fir, all
of which yield balsam; but the wood, he
says, is brittle like glass and flies into
shivers. Even when cut the way of the
fibre, it breaks off, and is so hard that
the tools used to cut it become blunted
very rapidly. Yet viclins made from it
are, he thinks, equal to the best Cremnniw
500 vnars old. * *
The other side of the discussion is
taken up by Mr. George Gemunder, of
Astoria, unquestionably the most distinguished
and successful maker of
stringed instruments of our day. He
avers that none of the great Cremona
makers mado violins of any sort of balsum
wood, and that the real secret of the
quality possessed by their instruments
does not lie so much in the kind of material
employed in their construction as
in the proper forms and proportions of
the different parts of the instrument. It
is. of course, important that the right
kind of material should be used, but the
secret is not in the wood.?Xew York

T'ie Donkey That Wouldn't Bray.
Once upon a time a donkey fell into a
deep hole and, after nearly starving,
caught sight of a passing fox, and im- !
plored the stranger to help him out.
"I am too small to aid you," said the
fox, ilbut I will give you some good advice.
Only a few rods away is a big,
strong elephant. Call to hirn and he will
irot mil nnt in a iiffv."
After tlic fox had gone the donkey
thus reasoned: "I am very weak for
want of nourishment. Every move I
make is just so much additional loss of j
strength. If I raise my voice to call the
elephant I shall be weaker yet. No, 1
will not waste my substancc that way.
It :s the duty of the elephant to come
without calling."
So tho donkey settled himself back
and eventually starved to death.
Long afterward the fox on passing the
hole saw within it a whitened skeleton,
and remarked: "If it be that the souls
of animals arc transmigrated into men,
that donkey will become one of those merchants
who can never afford to advertise.

French Canadians Who Jump Into
the Air on the Slightest Provocation?
LiUdlcroiM Antics.
Probably every drummer of six months'
experience on the road has seen or heard
of the little travel-worn man who has
been selling trusses for nearly a score of
years. His territory is the United States,
and there is hardly a town of a thousand
inhabitants or over in the country that
he has not visited again and again. On
his return to New York a few days ago
a reporter called on him to get the story
of some of his experiences. "I have
just come from a part of the country
that I had never before seen," he said,
"and I havo now something to talk
about that I had always believed was the
running-down story of a wound-up drummer.
I have often seen Shakers and
Quakers, Dunkers and Mormons, Creoles
and Oneida people, poor whites and claycaters,
the lunny Dutch of parts of Pennsylvania,
and many other sects or classes
| that differ from the ordinary run of
mankind; but as a genuine curiocity of
human nature there is nothing to equal
11- - : Tl? A M.in
lilU JUI11[ULI^ X' lCULiimUU U1 LiiW iiivuotook
in the northeastern corner of Maine.
I first heard of these people from
a traveling man who years ago
was on the same route I have just
been over. He was driving along one
day with a friend, followed by two
Frenchman in the rude kind of cutter
common to that region. Coming to a
little 'thank-you-ma'am,' or rut in the
road, which he had not noticed, he was
suddenly pitched out of the sleigh headforemost
into the deep snow. lie jumped
up laughing, but was astonished to see
one of the Frenchmen pitch out of his
cutter in precisely the same way and
jump up laughing, as he had done. It
was a plain case ox mimicry and he was
more puzzled thanever when the Frenchmen
rode by with scowls on their faces.
This was a common kind of incident in
the life of the Frenchman and he could
not have restrained himself had his life
depended upon his not following exactly
the :iction of my surprised friend
' The Aroostook county and the adjacent
parts of Canada have a population
made up largely of Frenchmen, and
about one in every four is an imitator,
or 'jumper,' as he is generally called. It
is believed that there is no such peculiarity
known in any other part of the
world, and no one has yet given a satisfactory
explanation of the queer condition
of the nerves of these people; for it
it undoubtedly a nervous affection. I
saw and heard of mnny curious antics of
jumping Frenchmen. A large number
of the loggers in the great lumber
districts of Northern Maine are Canadian
Frenchmen or half-breeds,
and a good proportion of these are
jumpers. While several of the loggers
were at supper seated around a long
table the opportunity was taken advantage
of to show their peculiarity. The
visitors slipped into the room quietly and
one of them pointed his forefinger to a
spot on the ceilingand hoarsely whispered
1 Sh-h-h' so it could bo heard by all. In
an instant nearly every Frenchman dropped
his knife, jumped to his feet and in
exactly the same attitude pointed to the
spot on the ceilingand cried 'Sh-h-h,' in
the same rough, mysterious way. The
sight of all these tough-looking men
acting like so many dummies on wires
wns ludicrous enouirh. and it was almost
impossible to keep from laughing. The
effect wore oil in a moment and the
Frenchmen sat down again, glaring at
the intruders for interrupting their meal.
This is only one of a thousand funny
things that might be told of these same
jumpers. As a general thing the jumpers
take the joke pleasantly; but it sometimes
makes him surly and quarrelsome.
Jumping Frenchmen love to tease each
other, and at auy of their gatherings
there are always many pranks played,
often with serious consequences. Sometimes
when friends are talkingamischiefmaker
will saunter up, slap one of them
on the shoulder and cry out ' Hit him,'
or something of the kind, and leave the
friends to settle the matter, for something
is bound to happen. Usually the jumper
obeys the command to the letter and
3trikes out in a way that would do credit
to a prize-fighter. If his friend gets
knocked down it is nobody's fault but
the one who started the mischief,
for the poor Frenchman could not
help doing as he was told.
He would hit his mother or a stono wall

often, however, the effect of startling a
jumping Frenchman is comical but harmless.
"When he gets a sudden start the
impulse is to leap into the air. lie then
utters a low, almost plaintive cry, throws
his hands up and makes a bound that is
sometimes worthy of record as a high
jump. No particular harm is done, but
the jumper is left pale and trembling for
a few moments and then forgets all
about it and is ready to be jumped again
and again for the most trivial reasons.
Of course, if he is on his guard ho is no
more susceptib.e to jumping than other
people.
"The women are little if any less likeiy
to be jumped than the men. To see
a small, dumpy Frenchwoman trying to
get into the air would make a highDcnch
judge laugh. They are almost
useless as servants. A dish of hot soup
would be thrown anvwherc, even on the
traditional bald head, on the slightest
provocation. The general tendency of
those affected, as I have said, is to jump;
but there are almost as many peculiari
tics as tl^^are people: A sneeze will
startle oifflmto a violent fit of sneezing
and sniffing. A jumping Frenchman
who could not speak a word of any language
but his own (a kind of patois, by
the way) has been known to repeat
a single-breath English sentence sentence
word for word, including
intonation and gesture, on being suddenly
startled by the one saying it. In
the little town of Caribou I saw a jumper
who was really a remarkable* checker
player. A traveling man of considerable
reputation in that line was playing with
him, and the game had been brought to
a point at which a single move gave it
to the Frenchman. His opponent, seeing
that he would be beaten, uttered a
sudden cry of alarm, which produced
! the desired effect, for the Frenchman
turned pale and instantly threw board
and pieces across the room. It is actually
dangerous at times to be among jumping
Frenchmen, for they are not responsible
for what they do ana their freaks are
likely to be as harmful as they arc ludicrous.
"I was unable to iearn anything about
the history of these queer people, but
have no doubt some of the physicians of
lloulton, Caribou or Fort Fairfield could
tell something ot tne nature 01 ineir aifection.
Theclimatc and their rude, dirty
ways have been suggested, nud some say
intermarriage lias had something to do
with the matter. Others'believe that the
peculiarity is an inheritance which lias
been developed without c-lieck until it
has become general. At any rate the
Aroostook and the near-by part of the
provinces is probably the home of the
jumping Frenchman."?New Y<<rh World.
Jefferson's Horses.
.Jefferson, like most of his class in Virginia
in those days, was "land poor,"
and the practices of buying and selling
on indefinitely long credits, of never paying
or receiving cash for anything, of
purchasing extentions of indebtedness
at ruinous rates, were enough of themselves
to have ruined a man of larger
means and of more frugal habits than
.Mr. Jefferson, and lie, unfortunately, was
never a man either of large means or of
frneal habits. His accounts show that
Iir was continually buvinfr tbintrs he
could not afford, and indulging himself
when he should have denied himself.

"Red pepper baths, that's the latest
fashionable wrinkle, and it takes like
hot cakes,1' remarked a professional man
of West Forty-eighth street to a New
York Star reporter.
"Have you many patients?"
1'Quite a number, and the list is increasing.
The remedy is not a new one
by any means, but it seems to be getting
popuiar, and that is the reason, I suppose,
for the revival in the red pepper
business."
"For what purpose are the baths applied?"
"Rheumatism, sciatica, neuralgia and
similar ailments. In the hands of an
ordinarily intelligent person these baths
are quite simple, and when used with
discretion are really efficacious."
"How are they applied?" j
"The pepper is simply placed in hot I
water in certain proportions, and the :
parts of the body mostly affected are
thoroughly well rubbed with a coarse
Turkish towel. People who suffer from
sluggish circulation have been "reatly
benefited."
"Is there no fear of inflammation?"
".None whatever, provided uue precaution
is taken against sudden exposure
to the cold."
"Is the remedy unpleasant?"
"That depends a good deal upon the
temperature of the patient's body. Upon
some it has the effect of extreme irritation.
The skin tingles for days after.
On others it produces frequent coughing.
Theso symptoms, however, soon pass
away as the patient becomes used to the
remedy. In cases, however, where it
continues for an immoderate length of
time it is better to discontinue them."'
"What class of people use them
chiefly?"
"Wealthy persons beyond middle age.
There is always a certain kind of people
who may be said to live chiefly by doctoring
themselves?persons whose ailments
are mostly those of the imagination.
They are too weak-minded to discipline
themselves, or too selfish, whichever

some new remedy to striking at the
cause of their supposed ills. For instance:
Instead of regulating their systems
upon a daily scale of dieting, they
will entirely disregard their physician's
instructions and then blame him because
his treatment is not successful.
There are hundreds of just such people
in this world, and as they invariably try
every new-fanjrled remedy that comes
out?especially- if it. be fashionable?
they become very profitable to people
who give them baths for their relief."

It is well known to electricians that
tho best steel makes the best permanent
magnet. But the magnetism of steel depends
upon how hot or how cold the
metal is. For example, steel loses its
magnetism if subjected to a temperature
of 100 degrees below zero; it also loses
its magnetism when heated to yellow heat
?that is, between red and wbite heats.
