1t is agreed on all hands that the in,
creased attention given to physical ex-
ercise and athletic sports'within the past
twenty-five years has been, on the whole,
of great advantage to the University:
that the average physique of the mass
of students has been sensibly improved,
the discipline of the college made easier
and more effective, the work of MANY
Jealous students been done with greater
safety, and the weak and sickly youth
into one well formed, robust and healthy.
1t is also agreed that athletic COMPETE
tons, though necessary to the mainten-
ance of proper interest in the general
subject, may easily run into excess, and
On that account need to be kept within
discreet limits; and that the whole spirit
of college sports and contests should be
that of amateurs who are amusing them
selves, and not that of professional
players, who are earning living and
seeking q reputation for its pecuniary
value. President Eliot,

with a snow-shovel on his right shoulder
and his boots covered with snow enter
ed with great racket and two or three
''whews,' and placing one of his snowy
feet against the hot coal stove he said:
First there was the creation of the
world presume you admit that?"
The man who satwriting did not even
look up.
"Of course YOU admit it, Snow was
created along with other sorts Of
westhor, and according to the laws
made by man snow must be cleaned off
the walks within six hours after the
storm ceases, providing there is any
storm TO cease. Are you following me9"
The man at the desk kept scratching

"Of course YOU foller The next great
event was the deluge. All the snow was
soaked up for the time being, but we've
had heaps of it since, and some men are
too stingy to pay fifty cents to have
their walks cleaned / presume you

Ii the gentleman even knew that the
old man was present, he did not betray
the fact by a gesture. The visitor
changed feet against the stove and
continued;
Then there was the Drift-Period,
Ice-bergs, ash-barrels, snow-drifts and

Southern Cotton Mills.

Statistics just published show that
South Carolina now has twenty-seven
hourshing cotton mills, with APO
looms and lS0,72l spindles and that the
business yields an average net profit OF
twelve per cent. In 1880 there were in
the State Is mills, with 1888 looms and
95,9S spndles. These figures show an
extraordinary progress in this import
ant industry, and the fact that nine
new mills were chartered at the recent
session Of the Legislature indicates a
striking growth Of the business in the
future. In undertaking TO manufacture
its great staple instead of sending II to
English and New England mills, the
