This Question.
Dr. James McCosh. President of

favor upon the radical changes in the
ola collegiate system which have been
made at certain institutions of learning
IN tnls country of which Harvard is the
most conspicuous example. In his re-

McCosh says: Some, not many, of
the American colleges are seeking to
draw students by giving them, young as
well as Older an almost unlimited choice
OF subjects through all the years of their
course This in my opinion is funda-
mental mistake. Everyone acquainted
with college secrets knows that there
are students who show uncommon skill
IN choosing among the electives the
subjects which require the least
expenditure of thought and atten-
ton; and that professors are

TUMORS.


How Many Persons Mistake Them for the
Dreadful Cancer.
Tumors are not mere swellings, as
the name might suggest, but new
growths, We have analogous Swellings
on trees in the vegetable world. The
wart-like eXcrescences on leaves are
generally due to irritation from the
sting of an insect and an egg deposited
in the incision. The pu1-ball of the oak
is similar tumor. Every organ and
every tissue in the human body NAV
develop these new growths, or tumors,
some of which may assume an enor-
nous size.
Most tumors are not injurious in
themselves, though they may do harm
by pressing against nerves or blood
vessels. Some, such as cancer, with its
several varieties, are malignant, with a
fatal tendency. Others-as tuberces-
are infectious; that is, tend to multiply
in different parts of the system.
There is probably no ailment of
which people have more dread than
cancer But other tumors are often
mistaken for it, and one may long suffer
much in mind and health simply from
the fear that benignant may be a ma
lignant tumor.
Among the least important and the
most easily removed-they can often,
after slight incision, be pulled out by
the tingers-are fatty tumors. Yet
these have been mistaken for cancers,
or other tumors of the more serious
character, even by medical experts
the more readily since cancer may for
years be wholly painless and show
nothing distinctive.
An aged man, of fine culture and
capacity, had tumor, which was pro-
nounced sarcoma Gone form of cancer)
by several surgeons. He at length en-
tered the Massachusetts General Hos
pital, where, after much deliberation,
1t was decided to remove it.
"Ihis was undertaken with every
precaution to insure the success of what
promised to be dangerous operation. {"
1t proved to be only a fatty tumor.
Among other cases mentioned by the
Boston Medical and Surgical JO3rnaS
is the following also: A lady had for
twenty-five years a tumor, at first as big
as pea, at last as an apple, on her
forehead, just within the hair. Contra
ry to medical expectation, this also. on
its removal, proved a similar harmless
affair.
Hence we say, don't let any who may
nave tumor live in mortal fear of D

The Lesson by Which Bob Was Cured
His One Great Fault.

The Lesson by Which Bob Was Cured OF
His One Great Fault.
Bob had one great fault, which
grieyed his father and mother very
much. If asked to do anything he said:
. In minute and then forgot. If
he was going anywhere he was never
ready at the proper time. His mother
often talked to him about this; but it
id little good.
At last she said: 1.-The next time
you are not ready to, 90 with me | shall
go without YOU" This made him care
ful for long time.
His father and mother began to hope
he had improved; but one day sad
thing happened 1t was Thanksgiving
Day. Bob was going with his father
and mother to spend the day with his
grandmother. 1t was quite long drive
to her house; but 1t never seemed long
to Bob, particularly if there was snow
on the ground.
This year there had been no snow
until the day before Thanksgiving.
Then it showed all day, and all night,
too. The next morning the snow was
several inches deep. Bob begged his
mother to let him 90 out and play a
little while before getting ready to 60
with her He promised to come in as
soon as she called.
Bob had great fun tumbling about in
the snow. When his mother called he
had just begun to make snow-house.
He said: In a minute" and went on
with his play. At last he remembered
that his mother had called him. He
threw down the shovel and ran in.
Bob found no one in the house but
Sarah, the maid. His father and mo h.
err had gone without him. Poor little
Bob! The tears would come, in spite
OF himself, The time passed very slow
~. He had no heart to play, but sat by
the fire, thinking of the Jolly times they
would have at grandma sail the
uncles, aunts and cousins-everyb body
but himself And then the dinner!
BO5's heart was nearly broken when he
thought of the dinner.
Suddenly some one called him. 1t
was Edward, the coachman. He had
come for him with grandma horse and
cutter.
Come" he said; "your grandma
begged for you, and your father has
sent me for you. Hurry! Iguess we Il
be in time for dinner"
Bob was ready in less time than one
can think. The horse seemed to fly.
They arrived Just as dinner was ready.
Every body was glad to see him. He
never needed another lesson. our Lit
