An Indiana court has given decision which will not please those who believe in college secret societies. Aboy, who belonged to one of the Greek letter societies, applied for admission to Purdue college in Indiana. The faculty before receiving him requested that he should pledge himself to sever his connection with the secret organization. He declined Then they refused to take him as 8 student. He applied to the courts to com pei his admission on the ground that he was taxpayer, of sound mind and body, and had rendered the usual fees in such cases made and provided. The court, however, ruled that the faculty had the right to take the ground they did, and added suggestively that the success of the college could be main tained without the secret societies.

The Mark LGne Express of London, hay ing circulated questions respecting draught horses among number of great firms en- ploying them, has obtained much information in reply. To the question, 'Is there any breed of heavy draught horses which moro than another is especially adapted to heavy work in paved towns9' the Southampton Dock company replies "With twenty-five years experience, we find that Belgian and English nixed-bred horses are best adapted for heavy work on paved and on rough roads. Geldings are always preferred, and roans are the favorite color" Messrs. Courage, great London brewers, object to heavy, feshy- legged horses for work on the stones. As to heavy-legged horses, opinions are divided. MT. Wallis of Dublin, ,who horses ths express wagons of several leading Irish railroads, says that the English and Scotch horses are much more easily managed than the Irish. One authority pronounces in favor of the mixed Belgian and English horses so far as price, power and durability are concerned j; but most are decidedly in favor of the breeds of the United Kingdom. The feet of for eign breeds will not, they say, stand the stones.

The government of Japan proposes to con- stitute court of high rank, for the purpose of trying such offenses committed by foreign subjects in Japan as are now tried by the consuls of the various powers. It is found that this matter of consular jurisdiction gives rise to great dissatisfaction to the native citi- gems of the open ports, owing to the great difference between the laws regulating erimi- nal offenses in Japan and the laws of each country as administered by the several con- suls.
