this and conspired to break him of his fatherly

She fixed up nice little pin-cushion, had the
pins inserted SO that they would stand on their
heads, points upward, and then adjusted the
internal machine on top of Der head, covering
it with just enough of her hair to hide it from
view. This done, she left her seat during the
session, walked demurely up to the professors
desk, stood moment in his august presence
and then in meek and plaintive tone of voice
she asked him for information as to whether

THE charges made by Prof. Marsh of Yale
College, published in the kilograms of yester-
day, are so direct and come from such a
source that it is hardly probable that gentle
man will not be invited to present the evidence
which he says he possesses, to substantiate
them. 1t would be the utmost folly to at
tempt to overlook them, and the real friends
of the administration will be gratifed to have
the charges investigated. Neither the Secre-
tary of the Interior, the Indian Commissioner
nor his subordinates, who are accused of fraud,
can do otherwise than demand full and i'm
partial hearing.

Every farmer by exercising his good

question then arises, shall sheep be

There is great profit in raising sheep
and in producing wool and so there s

in milk. II one chooses to keep either
cows Or sheep, on light land, it will be

"Glad to see you, sir, will you step
into my carriage, DR.. Peck r. said tho
afiablc gentleman.
DIR. Peck, supposing ii TO DO an at
tcntion which was being paid TO the
President of the Dickinson College,
complied and was driven to the Asy-
lum, his companion chatting pleasantly
on the way. He had not been inside
the institution long before he dscov-
cred its character, and naturally desired
TO know why he had been brought
there.
ThcSupcrintcndent assured him that
he would not be harmed; that he
would simply be required to remain at
the institution until his friends came
for him.
DIR. Peck became indignant, and de-
mandcd 10 be released. He declared
himself to be "Dr. Jesse T. Peck, Pres
idcnt of Dickinson College" but as
this corresponded exactly with the dis
cription given of the unfortunate Hugh
Blair and his peculiar dclusion, the
Superintendent smiled blandly, and
begged the doctor not to excite himself.
Finally DR.. Pcck'sprotcstations grew
so violent that the Superintendent TO
pacify the supposed monomaniac acced-
ed to his request to send for some Of
his conference friends TO identify him.
They came, in wonder and surprise,
and the doctor was recognized by his
astonishcd friends, who released him
with profuse apologies from the Su-
perintcndent, who could only in pallia-
ton for his error produce his letter as
suming to be from Dr. Peck, regarding
the unfortunate Hugh Blair,
DIR. Peck felt very much hurt over
the cruel joke the pleasure Of his visit
TO the conference was spoiled, and on
bis return to the college the entire
faculty. among which were Prof Beard,
lnow Of the Smithsonian Institute, Prof
Allen, now of Girard College, and DR..
Tiffany, now pastor Of the Methodist

stituted an investigation to discover
the author of q prank which, in its au-
dacity, rivalcd the students Of Charles

were in vain. The students kept their
secret well, and now for the first time,
those who remember the incident will
learn the authors name.

Judge Donohuc gave recently, some
very sound advice TO married people
who are troubled with incompatibility
of temperament The case whose
abrupt termination afforded the occas-

been n very frivolous one. The "crucl

of by the wife seems TO have mainly
consisted of occasional exhibitions Of

On one occasion he was bored with
her piano playing, and attempted to
summarily stop the annoyance by clos
ing the lid Of the instrument His
wife resisteda and got her fingerspinched.
At another time he refused to bulge
from the two chairs he occupied before
the window to enable his wife to re
