New Buildings for the State University.

The trustees of the State University were in
session yesterday in the city, and agreed upon
plans and specifications for the building of a
chapel and boiler-house in the new campus.
Bids are invited from builders, and it is the pur-
pose to proceed with the erection of these build
ings at once. The trustees report the affairs of
the university in the most fourishing condition,
while the future prospects are the most en-
eouraging. 1t is to be hoped that the next Leg
islature of the State will be one that will have
. worthy pride in putting the State university
where i; should be. A great and strong Uni
versity would do as much for Indiana as any
other one thing -probably more.

HE NEVER KNowED.

Old Billy B. was pious man,
And Heaven was his goal;
For, being very saving man,
Of course he'd save his soul.
But even in this he used to say,
zone can't too careful be-
And he sang with ferYor unassumed,
I'm glad salyation's Free
But the means of grace" he had to own
Required good, hard earned gold
: And he took ten pews as well became
The richest ofthe fold
"He's a noble man y the preacher cried
"our Christian Brother B."
And Billy smiled as he sublet nine,
And got his own pew free
In class-meeting next, old Billy told
How Heaven had gracious been,
Yea, even back in the dark days when
He was man of sin.
as buildin' barn on my river farm
All then had he said;
"Id run out O. boards, an was feedin' hands
On nothin' but corn bread.
II tell We bretherin' that felt blue,
Short O. timber and cash,
And thought I'd died when the banks then bust
And flooded all my mash.
But the Lord was merciful to me,
And sent right through the rift
The tide had made in the river banks
lumber-raft adrift.
''Plenty o. boards was there for the barn.
And on top was cheese,
And bar'l O pork as sound and sweet,
AS any one ever seen.
Then had bread and meat for the men,
And they worked with will,
While thanked God who'd been good to me,
And I'm dom it still"
A shrill-voiced sister cried, "Bless the Lord !"
The whole class cried "Amenp'
But a KEEN eyed man looked at Billy B.,
In thoughtful way, and then
Asked Brother B., did you ever hear
Who lost that raft and load?'
And Billy wiped his eyes and said
"Bretherin', I never knowedl"

A considerable part of the American pc
troleum shipped to Europe, is, after being
deodorized, made into butter and suet,
which are used by the poorer classes to
some extent, but very largely by bakers in
the large cities who use it in making cake.
The confectioners also employ it. 1t has
great advantage over butter in that in
store cakes or in candy the petroleum not
only does not become rancid and betray
the age of the article, but acts as preserva-
tive in keeping the other ingredients of the
cake or candy from spelling. A recent
hygienic council sitting in Paris, protested
against this use of our oil, but it is not
thought its consumption in this way will
be lessened.

CHAPTEk III.
The BUSINESS of Gnat Cove was not
extensive. There were three general
merchandise stores, one carpenter
shop and n blacksmith shop. Anyone
would have said that 4 was fool for
attempting to publish paper in such
a community, but i. of course. knew
better. Gnat Cove had prospects. 1t
was on the line of prospective rail
road, and, everyone said, would soon
be the county seat In Arkansaw the
rural county seat is ever on the eve of
being removed. To hear the local
celebrity talk, stranger would think
that the courthouse was built on
wheels. / received some little finan-
cial encouragement from the "mer-
chants" and lawyers, all of whom ad-
vertised In the Spear, but l soon dis
covered the inevitable drawback to
country jounalism-locals strife. There
were two factions that were bitterly
opposed to each other. These differ
ences of opinion were not political.
They were the outgrowth of certain
sort of 'bullyism. Two men wanted
to run the town. Old Mat Tyler was
chief of one faction, and lawyer NAM
ed Flip Hanks was leader OF the other
faction. 1 would be wise. i would
say nothing in favor of either party
but would devote my intellectual ener-
gies to building up the town.
One day, when the Spear had been
running several weeks, old Mat came
into the weather boarded shed which
was called my office and, after greet
ing me cordially, he said:

Sc ence and the Cat.

The vines on the trellis were brush
ed aside, and out on the top of the
fence staggered as fine tortoise
shell cat of the male persuasion as
ever reflected credit on the state OF
New jersey. His sleek form darted
like a shadow along the fence until it
reached the middle. when it crouched
down and began nibbling at some
thing.
Suddenly the most diabolical yell
that ever sprung from the throat of a
ComaDche started the peaceful slum-
bers of the neighbors. 1t ended in a
blood curdling gurgle, leavened with
intense pathos. A large globe of
pale blue fire was seen to dart upward
into the gloom and spin around SIX
feet above the fence with the terrible
velocity of pinwheel. Then the re-
markable pyrotcchnic display descend
ed with u dull thud into the flower
beds, looking like one-cent comet
turning handsprings. Presently the
fire died out and the garden was again
in darkness.

with much annoyance IN his voice, ms
