Sound Doctrine.

One OF the professors Of Princeton
college In his address to the students
called attention to the fact that there
was too much athletics in the colleges
and not enough brain work. He said
one is impressed with the fact that in
strolling about the colleges of the coun-
try nothing can be heard about educa-
tional matters and the subject of books
seldom enters the minds of the students.
but athletic sports occupy their whole
time ard attention. This professor has
struck q key note, and called attention
to an evil that should be stopped. A
moderate dose eff athletic sports mixed
in with thorough college education
will not injure the young men who are
graduating from the colleges of the
country, but when the students get the
idea, as they seem to have, that mus
cles like q prize-fghter and hand like
a baseball is all that is essential to q
college education, then it is time for o
reform. There is no question but that
one-half of the young men in college
think vastly more of cultivating their
muscles than they do of cultivating
their brains, and it is time the colleges
of the country were transformed from q
gymnasium into school for cultivating
the intellect. Millions of dollars have
been spent in erecting colleges, and
thousands of dollars are yearly spent in
sending young men to these schools of
learning and keeping them there, to
have them graduate, or leave in few
years with nothing to show for their
time spent in college except a knowl-
edge of how to row boat or play a
game of ball. 1t is seldom one hears
of the progress of the several classes in
the colleges except it be in the line of
boat-racing or winning game of base
ball, or hazing fellow member, and un-
less there is reform inaugurated, and
the colleges pay more attention to books
and less to athletic sports, the public
will soon think that the sending of our
young men to college is useless piece
of extravaganza. As it now is there
are more young men from the bottom
of the ladder of mercantile life, and
from the farm, filling the counting
rooms, and the college graduate is
forced to the farm or undergrad to
earn living. The Princeton professor
is sound and he should be supported in
his theories. -Pecb'S SAM

A Leetle More.

One of the stockholders of new
Western railroad was farmer who had
accumulated his money by hard toll,
and when he had put in an appearance
at the meeting to elect Board of Di-
rectors he felt it his duty to remark:
Gentlemen, as | understand this
thing we elect the board and the board
elects the officers"
Someone said he was right, and he
continued:
81 don't go cent on high salaries,
and want that understood. l am in
favor of paying our President good
living salary and no more"
Chow much do you call good living
salaryp" asked one of the crowd.
"Well 81 a day is the going wages,
but -"
Here the meeting began to roar. and
it was two or three minutes before the
orator had chance to conclude.
''But of course, we want man who
can run an engine, switch train, han
die freight, keep books and lick any
body who won't pay fare, and so /
shall not object to two and half aday."

under the blue coat of o guardian OF the
night The bride was taking an inven-

groom had just left the house ostensibly
Tor the purpose Of smoking a cigar, but
really to seek his father, at whose door
he was about to lay charge of awful
import.
"Father," and the old man trembled
with apprehension as he noted the stern
visage and heard the cold, harsh tone

He Thought He Had the Best Of the Dog


An Irishman, passing butchers
shop, observed some liver for sale. Not
knowing what it was, he inquired of the
butcher, and said that he would like to
buy some, but his old woman knew only
how to boil "praties," whereupon the
butcher good-naturedly offered to write
him a recipe for preparing the savory
dish. With this and his purchase dang
ling conspicuously in his hand, Pat sal
lied forth in triumph. He had not pro-
ceeded far, however, before lean and
hungry dog which had been providing
around seized the tasty morsel with his
jaws, and made off as fast as his legs
could carry him. Pat, in nowise dis
concerted, turned round with a broad
grin on his countenance, and, shaking
his fist at the canine thief, who was fast
disappearing in the distance, said: ''Ar-
rah, we dirty BLACKBOARD, ye're sowld

you can't cook it, for I've got the resate

MYSTERIOUS Disease.

1t has got so now that when q man
dies whose ailings were somewhat
shrouded in mystery, it is not necessary
to say that he died of malaria, or pneu-
monia, or nervous prostration, but of
cirrhosis of the liver, and then half the
people of the country will be just as
badly befuddled over it as ever. Cir
rhosis is new disease that is said to
get into mans system who drinks to
excess of fiery liquors, and is said to
knock his liver all out of shape and it is
no good thereafter. Cirrhosis will fill q
q want long felt as disease for men to
die of whose friends don't want it made
public that he INDUCED too freely in the
flowing bowl.

The Chicago correspondent of the

immense number of young women here

inches of the head as far back as the

think it will be found that only
graceful women ever take to cigarette
smoking; that is, to any extent OF
course, no one thinks of Spanish ladies
otherwise than as the embodiment of
grace. and, as everybody knows, they
are great smokers. Russian ladies, too,
as far as my experience goes, are ex-

Marvellous Cure Of SteBc In the BIndder-

From the Pitsfeid tMass.) Ea0ie.
Stone in the Bladder is n very dangerous ail-
ment; but many most remarkable cures have of
late been wrought by "Kennedy's Favorite RENE
dy"-the invention of DIR. Kennedy of Rom
dout, N. Y. Another striking case Is now added
to the list. Mr.. Peter Lawler, OF Dalton, Mass,
states in n letter 10 DIR. Kennedy that he had
been troubled with bladder complaint for IA years,
and had consulted ut different times seven physi-
clans; but nothing beyond temporary alignment of
the pain had been worked. Towards the end OF
Last January Mr.. Lawler called on DIR. Ken
nedy. Sounding him, the doctor "struck stone"
He decided that Mr.. Lawler should first try the
"Favorite Remedy" 30 as, il possible, to avoid an
operation. And here IL the remarkable result:
'!Dear Doctor Kennedy-The day after came
home passed two gravel stones and am doing
nicely now. IL you would like to see the stones
will send them to you" This letter benrs date
"Dalton, Mass, Feb. 9Th" and Is signed Peter
Lawer." The stones, which are so large as to war
rant for "Konncdy's Favorite Remedy" the claim
that it in the most successful specific for Stone yet
discovered, are ROW in Dr. Kennedy's possession.
Incidentally Mr.. Lnwler also states that the Fav
orite Remedy" at the same time cured him OF q
stubborn case OF rheumatism; and IL is q fact that
in all affections arising ont OF disorder of the liver
