Tho Agricultural Depnrtment Finances.


The depletion of the funds of the agricul.
tural department affects four of its principal
bureas. The statistical division, the expendi-
turo of which averaged $4,000 n month up to
10 the LIST OF May aud the laboratory division,
which was cxpending nearly half as much,
found themselves at that date with only
enough money IN hand TO carry on the work at
current rates for two weeks more. The forestry
division had about enough money to last n
month, and the seed division fund of 100000
was entirely exhausted, with the exception OF
SIS. 1t is understood that tho late commis-
sioner gave Instructions that no seeds should
be purchased except upon requistion of the
head of the seed division, but these instruc-
tions appear to have been ignored by some one.
The requisitions Of tho head of the seed
division called for the purchase of $4,000
worth of seeds OF which only $4,000
were purchased, but $4,000 worth Of varieties,
which were not called for by the head OF the
seed division. were also purchased, ana part
ofthcse remain on hand, with no money to
payfor their distribution, and nobody wanting
them at this season If they could be sent out.

watched them for moment with calm
face. Some old memories of by-gone con-
tests rushed into his mind-the struggle
fired his blood; he was seen to clench his
fists and to walk with firmer tread He
followed the boats for few PAGES. AS
they came to a turn in the river he actu-
ally ran, in full collegiate costume as he
was His cap blew of-he never noticed
It He began to wave his arms. A crowd
around him, unconscious of his presence,
shouted: $50 it, Trinity" "YOicks,

The boats were approaching a very mar
row part of the river, the Caius men half
a length ahead. The spectators were
shouting in frenzy of excitement, when
above the tumult arose the sonorous and
stentorian voice of the venerable pro
fessor: sport, Caius, you scoundreli

as the shrewd order was instantly obeyed,
IN a still more energetic voice: "Optime,

old gentleman walked off at q round
pace, blushing like a girl, amidst the
vociferous applause of the students.

How a Painter Doesn't Work.
New York Cor. Chicago Herald


In the collection Of Watts pictures now
open In this city IS one entitled Love and
Death. You may have heard Of it, for
it IS somewhat famous. A cottage door
way is embowered by the roses which the
spectator is expected 20 comprehend have
been planted and trained by love, the
spirit Of the ideal home. On the threshold
figure, with head bowed, while Love
grasps his arm in a vain endeavor to stay
his Tesistless course. Love stands with
broken wings, and in her face intense
pleading, which does not hinder the en-
trance of Death.
How full of meaning, the observer
exclaims; how clearly it establishes the
painters claim to genius.
20, no, retoTts cynical and possibly
envious artist, at doesn't do anything of
the kind More than likely the picture in
its present form is an accident Do you
suppose an artist always, or even often,
carries out the idea which he has in mind
on first putting his brush TO the canvas?
On the contrary, he commonly abandons
the original conception and works out
something totally different = the first
plan having miscarried entirely. This
much praised work by Watts was at the
inception intended for domestic farm
yard scene. The two figures were d avn
as women-one young and the other old
the former for a housewife and the latter
for wandering gypsy fortune-teller. Not
only the drawing, but some of the paint
ing, was done before the plan was
changed. Then Watts was struck with
the fancy of turning them into Death and
Love, and the result was great success.
Afterward, he painted companion piece,
called Love and Life, working in that
instance, with definite purpose from the
outset.
1t was another carper at the picture
show who said that art had sadly deterior-
ated, and he found proof of his assertion
In the fact that there wasn't long haired
slouchily dressed artist present, every rep
resentative of the profession being in as
pect like other men. This he construed
as new departure from true artistic feel
ing. The old-fashioned artist, like the
newspaper reporter in shabby attire, will
soon be fund only on the stage.

The senate is made of men who, at bot

There are no political illusions kept up in
the private intercourse of senators. The
majority of them meet upon the simple
plane of good-fellowship. A senator in
talking about the present spirit
of harmony and good fellowship that
prevails in the senate, said: Il was
