The State College.

The State College.
The Wing says that at the last meeting of the
Trustees the studies were arranged so rs to adsp,
them to two terms in the year, instead of three.
The modified course in Agriculture especially
adapted to those who are to engage in other pur.
suits than farming, has been more definite; and
instead of being called as heretofore the Elective
Course" will be known as the "Couise in Science
and Literature"
The next term will commence on Tuesday Feb.
9Th, and will continue twenty weeks till COM
mencement, which will hereafter be on the last
Wednesday of June to be followed by q vacation
of six weeks.
There have been some changes in the work of
the faculty, though the same teachers are retain
ed. The departments of civil and mechanical en-
gineering will be entirely in charge Of
Profs. Pike and Hamlin, the former having the
theoretical work Of the departments and the lat
ter being made Prof. of Drawing and Field En-
gnerng.
The Trustees are DESTROYS of erecting machine
shops, for instruction on the Russian plan, which
has been adopted in the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology Shops for instruction can be fit
ted up Tor very little expense where the simple
processes essential for working in wood and iron
can be thoroughly learned, and the hand can be
educated as we'll as the head. 1t is heretofore
been thought necessary to have large machine
shops for manufacturing purposes that the student
might learn the details of mechanic arts but now
II is found much more efficient method to have
simple apparatus in shops on purpose to teach the
elementary processes.-No large outlay of build
ings, machinery or materials is required, and no
unsaleable ioducts of apprentice hands will be
left to dispose Of.

There is an objection to the common way OF
boiling eggs which people do not understand. 1t
is this: The white under three minutes rapid
cooking becomes tough and indigestible, while the
yolk is left out. When properly cooked, eggs are
done evenly through like any other food. This
result may be obtained by putting the eggs into
dish with cover, as tin pail, and then pouring
upon them DO ling water two quarts or more to =
dozen eggs, and cover and set them away from
the stove for fifteen minutes. The heat Of the
water cooks the eggs, slowly, evenly, and suff-
GENTLY, and to jelly like consistency, leaving
the centre or yolk harder than the white, and the
egg tastes as much richer as fresh egg is nicer
than stale one, and no person will want to eat
them boiled after trying this experiment.-lEx-
change.
