Professor Shipman of Tufts College, says
that no other part of the studies preparatory
to entering college is so irregular as that Of
English. Professor &. Atkinson. in charge
of the study of English and history at the
Institute Of Technology, says that many col
leges are doing injury to the work Of impart-
ing a true knowledge of English by limiting
their efforts in this direction to mere sclec-
tions from few authors read in a perfume
tory manner. He strongly protests against
allowing the study of Greek to retard that Of
the English langange and literature, and
urges that its study should be made in certain
cases optional, so as to give the preference to
English and modern languages. English, he
claims is destined to be the basis Of linguis-
tic studies for this nation in the near future.

The eating and dyeing of eggs at Easter
are customs that have come down from antiq-
uity. Before the Christian era Egyptians,
Persians, Greeks. Gauls and Romans regard
ed the egg as an emblem of the universe. The
early Christians of Mesopo,amia had the Gus
tom of dyeing and decorating eggs at Easter,
and stained them red, in memory of the blood
shed on Calvary. The carly church adopted
the custom, and regarded the egg as an en-
blem of the resurrection.

night some scoundrels. or devotees of medical
science as they would probably prefer TO he
called were endeavoring TO steal the body
when the torpedo exploded. The ground for
a considerable distance was torn up. and the
indications are that the desecrators were in

fatally. few more experiences of this sort
