sides the whole consumption OF the

made i'll the factories, and 7,77S,413

In the case of Priest and other stu
dents of Wisconsin, against the Regents
of the university, on the question OF
charging each student n fee of SO per
year for incidental expenses, the SUI
preme court rendered an opinion ad-
verse to the students. The opinion is
a lengthy one, and sums up rs follows
"After listening to the able arguments
of counsel and giving the question very
careful consideration, we must con-
clude, from the fact stated in the re-
turn, and the reasons given, that the
heating and lighting of the public halls
and rooms of the university is an ex-
pense necessary and convenient to ac-
complish the objects mentioned in the
statute, and that the general powers
granted to the Board of Regents au-
thorized them to enact tine by, laws in
question, and under it tc exact from
each student in attendance a fractional
share of such expense AS incidental
expenses"

many fold the duration and increasing

the farm are now worth as much at the
farmers door as they previously were
after being hauled long distance by
his teams. Land 200 miles from the
Great Lakes is WORT from $40 to SO
an acre, which, wit tout railroads, never
would have been worth to exceed $50
an acre. A thrifty farmer can become
rich in a few years by the sale of the
surplus of his farm, which, but for rail-
roads, he could not sell at all. The
handsome farms, the fine school houses,
the elaborate churches, the comforta-
BILE dwellings, the thickly- planted vii
lagos of the whole northwest, are the
direct result of the railroads, which
have made every county accessible and
convenient for settlement. There are

creased So per acre, or Sl6O,O0uoOo IN
the aggregate This land is assessed
for taxation at 100000, 600, which Is
less than half its actual value, and it
might also be said that every dollar of
additional value above SO per acre has
been placed upon it by the railroads,
which carry its products of grain,
stock, lumber and manufactures TO dis
tant markets, which they would never
have reached but for the iron highway.
This relates to Wisconsin alone.

INNATE TASTE FOR ANGLING. A charm
ing correspondent of Forest and Stream
writes truly: If anglers are not born, but
made, we must insist upon belief in
innate taste. We have seen sturdy boy
content to stand and dangle cord with
naked hook-by the hour-along brook
let in which there has never been any fish
at least within tho memory of man.
Who has not seen the boy content with
fishing in a pail of water or in pool
formed by summer shower? Did the
resemblance never strike you, my angling
friend, between these early manifestations
on the part of the boy and those of his
sister with her doll? Whence come theyp
The stick and string are put into the boys
hands, and he is told to fish. You say the
doll is placed in the child's arms with
some like saying. Very good! Are they
not apt9 But sticks and strings are COM
mon playthings with the boy and can be
put to hundreds of uses in his games. Yet
he chooses this particular sway, and that
too in manner not the easiest or most
natural to his tender years. Isit not born
in his bone. sinew and spirit? Comes it
not down through line of generations
from the days when. as Juvenal has it.,
" A chill cavern furnished a scanty dwell.
ing and enclosed under common shelter
the fire and household goods, the cattle
and the owners; when the world was new
and tho sky freshly created, and men, born
out of the riven oak or moulded out of
clay, had no parents" when men sought
existence from the forests and the waterso

An INVENTIVE CEANk.-Simon Phil
brook, now q resident of Cleveland, Ohio,
was school boy Biddeford Me. so years
ago. Tic claims to have invented some of
the most wonderful machines the world
has ever seen. First among his greatest
things on EARTH" says a Cleveland paper
is his draw bridge, which one bridge tender
can swing by simply attaching rope from
weight power to pulley. Another OF his
inventions is street railroad car switch,
to switch trains going at any rate of speed
without delay, simply by touching knob
in the platform with the foot. Then there
is wonderful car coupler, to couple all
kinds OF cars by the use of percussion cars
You simply pull a string on the side Of
the car. and in an instant the whole train,
bumps together and every car is coupled
He has many other inventions of the
same practical sort.-LeWiston Journal.
