 Martyrs - Prospects or A Large
 Glass.
 !. About ninety men filled with the desire of becoming freshmen of Yale gathered in Alumni Hall yesterday morning, when the entrance examinations were begun. Each was provided with little table and an ink stand, to which prominent alumni so often refer. Alumni Hall held only those who were taking the full examinations. In the presidents lecture room in Old Chapel about a hundred were taking partial examina- tions. Professor E. L. Richards had charge of the examination in Alumni Hall and Pro- lessor Edward s. Dana of that in Old Chap el Entrance examinations were also held at San Francisco, St. Louis, Chicago, Cincin- natl, East Hampton, Newburg and Exeter. This is the first year that examinations have been given at East Hampton and New burg. The papers were similar to those of last year, with the addition of the exaruina- tions in French. According to the indica- tions in New Haven, the class of S9 will be larger than the one preceding it, though the out-of town examinations and the uncertain number of unsuccessful candidates have a great deal to do in determining it's quantity. The men, as 8 whole, are of moderate size and of about the same age as previous classes

Dogs Scent.

Whatever may be the natural scent
ing properties of deg, it is certain
that a great deal depends upon the
nature of the land crossed. When
hounds run over some of those un-
drained sedgy fields 50 often found in
the neighborhoOd brooks or river, they
can generally push their fox but
drained and dressed land is not so fav-
orable. Then, again, as far as the fox
IS concerned, 1T is common idea that
he leaves better scent behind him il
he be found and well hustled in covert
before making for the open, than if he
steals off unperceived, in which event
the scent is said to be indiffedent.
Further, the scent fails when a fox is
getting beaten hence, when a fox
starts up wind, and is hardly pressed at
the outset, he not uncommonly Ieaps
az adruuts =>,'tae-.=-lsr turns down
wind, for the twofOld reason that the
scent is fainter, and what there Is, Is
blown oil in advance of the hounds.
That the scent Is shifted by the
wind no hunting man need to lie told
and we once saw striking instance of
1t. The Queens staghounds were in
Burnham Beeches, whence the deer
came away into the open, and ran in
the shape of the letter 5. A minute
or two later the pack came out of the
woods. and. there being side wind,
the hounds rama letter ) as the stag
had done, but about sixty yards to the
left of the deer'S actual line. Whether
the scent of the animal comes from the
contact of the feet with the ground,
or from the whole body IS not an acer-
tanned fact some say that the breath
has something to do with it. In the
case OF the fox and the hare, the body
theory may receive support, but with
those who say that the tread leaves the
scent have certain amount of reason
on their side, as the body is higher
than the noses of the hounds. If the
atmosphere weighs down the scent, 50
to speak, other observatIons-the steam
from an engine, for example-seem ts
show that hounds will not run.

Moral Suasion.

1t was pleasant town in the Genessee
valley that party of boys made night,
OF the early part of it, hideous TO the
residents of quiet street. Particularly
afflicted by the uproar of the urchins
was a good woman, who was at heI
wits end to discover any feasible meth
cd of relief. From sad experience she
knew that entreaties were in vain and
that seedlings were worse than useless,
as applied to the juvenile roisterers-
Finally, ID sheer desperation, she hit
upon happy expedient. Calling the
boys to her door, she said:
''Now, boys, If you will go quietly
away and not make any noise, I'll give
you all the apples you can eat"
They greedily assented to the terms
of the compromise, and filed them
selves with the proffered fruit. That
night the ingenious lady slept the sleep
of the just; but, to her horror and amaze
ment, the following evening the small
boys again mustered in force in front OF
her house, with lungs redoubled in ener-
gy by the slight rest they had taken.
boys, +" she cried IN the shrill falset.

night, what DO you mean by again dis

War with Great Britain.

In 1914 there were 5000 American
prisoners of-war confined in Dartmoor
prison, England-the same horrible
place where Michael Dayitt and many
other Irish patriots have spent dismal
wears since 1866. There was a barba-
rous massacre OF the defenceless Amer
leans in the yard of the prison early i'll
1915. There were 5000 men in the
yard, and some who were playing ball
made disturbance. Without word
of warning, and without trying to sepa-
rate the hasty ones from those entirely
blaueless, the guards opened fire On the
dense throng from all sides. Some let
ters written by an American prisoner,
sscsa,i. Drinkwater, of Yarmouth, Me-,
:. :. .4v Iacerslr come to light.
Lieut.. Drinkwater was captured 10y
the English in January, 1914. In May
of that year he smuggled out letter TO
his brother in Yarmouth by giving 1t
to one of the French prisoners of war,
who were going to be released. The
Frenchman was true TO his word, and
the letter reached Yarmouth seven
months later. In relating the suffer
ings of the American prisoners, Lieut..
Drinkwater says:
~ want to get out of here before the
war is over that | can have the pleas
ure of killing one Engljshman and
drinking his blood, which | think |
could do with a good will, for | think
them the worst Of all the human race,
for there are no crimes but what they
are guilty of. IL these are the bulwarks
of our religion | think | will never have
any, for | cannot think of being 50
much like them. Recently when they
called up 500 Frenchmen to go away
there was one that had worn his blank
ct out so that he had but half of 1t to
give these rebels; and on that account
they sent him back and put him on the
bottom of the books for exchanging.
The man took it so hard that he cut his
throat and was found dead between the
prison doors. And a thousand other
such deeds they have been guilty of
since we have been confined here in this
cursed place, and shall never die happy
until have the pleasure of killing one
of them (Englishmen) which | am de-
lcIullUtu W uO IL CNCA al OPpOibuAiASJ
offers to me to do it."
Writing about the massacre in April,
1915, Lieut. Drinkwater says:
ut was done on the 9Th of this
month. The soldiers fired on us when
we were all in the yard, about 5000
they fired ON us in all directions, and
after we were in the prison they killed
a number in the prison. 1t was one OF
the most wretched things that ever took
place amongst savages, much more
amongst the people that are the bull
wark of our religion. / had the good
fortune to escape their fury, but they
killed some while begging for mercy
after being wounded. They likewise
kicked and mangled the dead right be-
fore our faces. Vain Perry, of North
Yarmouth, was one that was wounded,
out not bad"
1t is strange fact that the bones oi
these brave murdered Americans lay on
the grounds outside Dartmoor prison as
late as 1867, when they were reverent-
ly collected and buried by the FeniaD
prisoners confined there.

got his Oriental title from another
Snowman, one Marshall, who made
much money by fsats of legerdemain,
but drowned himself on account of
family troubles. The duplicate fakir
has been explaining how he advertised
himself and achieved his tricks, On one
occasion he borrowed, at Nashville,
Tenn, the bonnet of the widow of Jas.
X. Polk, who was in the audience, tore
it to pieces before her eyes, and then re-
turned IT, whole. shooting it out of a
conjurer's gun. lie had caused COM

Jerusalem, cOmpactly built together.
He has bright eyes. red whiskers, and
common-sense democratic air. He
began life as young lawyer of Lima,

with the strip of road that ran from
Fremont to Lima. He thought he saw

went to Europe, interested some par
ties in it there, and coming back, with
the aid OF Charles Foster, made nice
little speculation out of 1t. He netted,

terprise was the Ohio Central, running
into the coal fields. In this he lost
his SO, 900, and when he had finished
it he owed Foster $4,000. Foster
had confidence i'll him, however,
and the two got their heads together
and ran a branch of the road into the
Sandy Creek valley coal fields. This
branch paid so well that it redeemed
the other, and the result was that Brice
paid off Foster, and had about Sl35,

kelplate, and pushed it through, and
in connection with several others, made
from it Sl3, ,000,0 Since then he has
been speculating in railroads and lost
some money, but made more. He was
largely interested in a railroad in Ten

Some Interesting discoveries have been
made in Florida by Prof. Lawrence
johnson of the United States Geological
Survey. Just south of the Alacahua
county line he found several specimens
and skeletons of animals which relative
ly belong to a not far distant period. In
piles, and sometimes mixed, there were
the remains of a mastOdon; two OF three
specimens of the rhinoceros; a large stag;
camel, fully as large as the Arabian
camel, but in structure more allied TO
the llama: also tapir very much like
the South American tapir, which lives
in swampy places; two teeth of some car
niverous animal allied to the tiger and
panther; one set of teeth and bones of a
hippOpOtamus; several crOcodileS or al
ligatOrs, and innumerable bones not
identified. Apparently the territory
south of Alchua was at one time a large
fresh-water lake.

n HFO ice in a while "Gath" gets a
little truth in hi, gossip and here NAV
be some in the following from bis pen !:
"When Garfield was nominated the
most enormous Gums of money we're
raised here Fin New York ever known.
A single man gave $40 600. In the
last campaign, from all that can gather,
the total sums obtained by the Republi.
cans for the national elec ion amounted
to about S350,000. Five hundred thou
sand at the outside would cover it, The
money gave out early, and indeed the
Ohio election finished up the funds. A.
tar that II there had been acres OF votes
living around it was next to Impossible

at the expense TO hold them together
could not get even money for treating.
So it NAV he said that the verv same
thing which elected Garfield in 1880, by
its excess, beat Blaine in 1884.
: When people get accustomed to the
use of money in elections they become

an endless business when once begun.
