Prayers at Harvard.

From the New York Tribune.
The latest regulation of the faculty
of Harvard University concerning at
tendance at chapel is as complicated
as a problem in comic sections: "Sev.
enty.twO unexcused absences from
prayers in the course of the academic
year shall be allowed to each student
without penalty but the allowance of
72 shall be reduced to so for students
regularly excused from Monday pray.
ers. If at any time a student is tenn.
p0rarily excused from attendance at
prayers, his allowance of absences for
the year shall be diminished at the
rate of two for every week that he is
temporarily excused, and the usual al.
lowance shall be reduced pro rata for
students who have been temporarily
absent from college; provided, that
not more than one-third the allowance
shall be taken before Christmas, and
not more than two-thirds before April
~ The classes in advanced mathe-
mates may be able to comprehend this
system, but Freshmen can scarcely be
expected to take it in. On the whole,
will it not be quite as we'll to allow
the students to 60 to prayers when
they please! This system of draw.

Making the Most of 1t.

How the fortunes of people are ex-
aggerated in this country! Rumor,
backed by newspaper paragraphs,
swells them out of all proportion to
the facts. If man is worth $4,000
he is soon set down as having $500 900
or $500, 900 at least. If a young wo-
man inherit a small property, she is
soon magniiied into an heiress. If a
merchant or professional man accumu-
late round million or two, there is no
limit to his wealth according to public
rumor; and If he should get five mill
lions, imagination riots in his golden
and measureless superabundance. Not
one of our rich citizens but has his
riches greatly enlarged by report and
printed statement. VIM. B. AstOr was
reported to be worth a hundred mil.
lions; 10 was Alexander T. Stewart !;
so is Cornelius Vanderbilt. Nobody
knows, nobody ever will know, what
their estates are worth. But it is alto
gether probable that none of these es.
tates will reach half the sum. With
all the skill that shrewd mercenary
men have in calculating values to a
nicely, it is very rare that they can
get any correct opinion of their pro-
perty when it rises into millions. Por.
sons that have nothing themselves
which is the inevitable condition OF
the majority, take pleasure in believ
ing that the few are vastly richer thar
they are; and thus gratifying, alb
stractly, their envy Of and malignitI
toward those whom fortune has blind
ly favored, passing by others that arr
much more deserving.

Condition of the Markets.
It is difficult to say whether the dif.
ficulties in the Orient or the result of the re-
cent election in the United States now most
engrosses the attention OF the commercial
world. The former seems to have most di.
rect bearing upon the future Of prices, but the
atteris still talked OF almost as persistently as
\ week ago, though there is less dlrect ques-
tioning for news. 1t will be we'll when both
are settled; people can then settle down into
trading again, unless some other unexpected
complication should arise. The situation is
unsatisfactory enough without the harrassins
cogitations consequent upon these uncertain.
ties.
The Chicago Tribune, in the course of ex'
tended remarks upon the condition Of the
wheat market said on the 18th:
"The winter OF the grain dealer began in
earnest to-day, with the commencement o.
tile term Of winter storage. We enter on the
cold weather with much larger stocks ofgrail
than ought to be herr, c,-chiety in wheat. II
was stated by some parties in the trade thai
they expect our receipts to fall of to a very
low point, as the Minnesota mills will want
nearly all the wheat that is to spare in tha
State, thus cutting off a large part OF our usua
supply. They claim that wheat ought to ruiz
relatively high in the West for that reason
alone, Independent Of the war excitement il
the Old World.'
It is universally admitted that not anothe
bushel'of Northwestern wheat should be ship

reserving enough for seed. In consequence

Potatoes.

The following recipes for cooking !
potatoes are from a late number of the !
New York Times:
Cooking Potatoes.-Potatoes and all
vegetables, in place of boiling, should
be cooked by steam, else they must be
more or less water-soaked. The
simplest and cheapest steamer is easily
had by having steamer made to fit
the large iron kettle that every kit.
chen has. The steamer of tin, made
to fit the kettle, the sides fitting down,
say one inch, a snug, perfect fit; one
inch from the rim is bottom with
holes cut in it, half an inch in diam
eter and one inch apart. The steamer,
like basin with straight or perpen-
dicular sides, nine inches deep, a tin
cover to fit perfectly tight, the cover
made to run up higher in the middle
two or three inches. This steamer
can be made for $1.50, probably.
When stewing fruit, put it in an earth
en- dish set dish and all in the steam
er. The fruit then does not waste it's
flavor as when stewed with water.
Steam puddings, instead of boiling, if
you would retain the flavor. .~

five or ten minutes slowly after the
flour is added. At the last minute
before serving, salt properly and add
one tablespoonful of sweet butter. If
kept ON the fire very long after the
salt is added, the milk will curdle.
