The College Yard.

To the EDITOR of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 The spacious, comedy opening, known as the college yard, fronts an old line of homely brick buildings which have not the slightest architectural pretensions though architecture was an advanced science two thousand years before the days of the old college builders. That is nothing and let us not think of it, but rather let us think of natures own architecture of that old college green, sit uated directly in front of said old colleges; think of it's grand ancient elms, of it's carpets of living green, and of all their summer en- chantments of life, sunlight and shadow. Tax ing it altogether was it not beautiful! And it may yet finger far into the future in the memory of citizen and student alike. But it's days of actual existence in our real and material world are numbered. Can dollars bring them back7 Hundreds of millions of them cannot recall it's treasures of the heart Mortal eye can never rejoice in their reality again. Other pearls, cast to swine, may be recovered, but sunlight and shadow and the music of the breeze are our lost ministrations through those grand old trees. And what are the gains of such a lossa o, the blizzards which meet our eyesl Behold a line of dor mi-to-ries! Sleepers, to the frontl Let 'the stone snore out of the wall and the beam out of the timber answer to it," and let their rear turn to their front a standing self-reproach for the immeasurable superiority of our old State House. Thanks to the good sense of city that our Green has not yet lost it's State House, nor it's State House our Green. As citizens we would feel for the dormitory factions all the kindliness we can, consistently with due self-respect. We know, though, that dead flies make even the oint- ment of the learned apothecary unsavory, just as even little folly taints those who are in reputation for wisdom and honor. And citizens, just one word. When we know we are right, and while we are ''many like the pillows, let us be one like the sea-"

Raising the Bead.

In the current number of the Asclepiad Dr. Richardson recounts his Researches in Resuscitation, and suggests some serious re- factions on the questions of what is death? When does death occur2 May life be restored after actual death2 By combining Artificial circulation" with artificial respiration dog was restored to life one hour and five min utes after being killed by an overdose of ehloroform, the heart being perfectly still, cold and passing into rigidity. Animals that have been killed by suffocation, the dissection, were so far brought into state of muscular irritability that the experiment. was stopped frc-n motives of humanity, lest the mutilated body should return to conscious sentient life. Frogs poisoned by nitrate of amyl were restored after nine days of appa- rent death in one case after signs of putre- factive change had commenced. Various methods of eHecting these resuscitations are described, the most original and effective be- ing that of pumping warm defbrinated and oxygenized blood into all artery in such a manner that the stroke of the pump shall correspond with the natural pulsations of the artery and to the stroke of the heart, which is thus awakened to it's customary work. The action of peroxide of hydrogen in reani- mating the blood and restoring animal heat in really dead body is quite startling. The agent upon which Dr. Richardson most re- lies in protracting the period that may elapse between apparent death and restoration of life is one that by no means suggests itself to the uninitiated, viz, 'fextreme cold" This reliance is based on the fact that it suspends the aggregation of the blood corpuscles in the minute vessels; the contraction of the capillaries, the occurrence of rigor mortis; putrefactive change in the blood; and, more especially, that it retards or completely pre- vents the coagulation of the blood. What have read in this paper, and have heard in conversation with it's author, appears to me to justify the conclusion that a drowned or suffocated man is not hopelessly dead so long as the bodily organs remain unin- jured by violence or disease, and the blood remains sufficiently liquid to be set in mo- tion artifcially and supplied with a little oxygen to start the chemical movements of

AN ENCOURAGING EXPERIMENT. Several years ago MT. John W. Garrett, then president of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad company, became impressed with the idea that he could and would do good thing for the employees of the company whose affairs he managed. His son, who has since become president of the road heartily CO., operated with him. In 1880 the company gave $1O0, ,O00 as the nucleus of fund to be used for the benefit of it's laborers, and the plan went into operation in May of that year. It originally contemplated indemnity for accident suffered in the service of the company, provision for injury or sickness incurred in the discharge of duty insurance in case of death from natural causes, and the establishment of an annuity fund, to which have since been added savings and building features and pension fund. All employees were invited to participate in the advantages offered, and they were assured due influence in the management by permission to elect
 five of the ten members of the governing committee. The amount of contribution was graded according to the amount of pay re- ceived, those getting $35 and under per month paying $1 per month, which entities each to one benefit, and so on, those receiv- ing over $100 contributing $5 month and being entitled to five benefits, although any member of a lower class may secure the bene- fits of a higher by paying the larger sum.
 How this benevolent scheme has worked is told by MT. Richard T. Ely in the current number of Harper's Weekly. The company provides ofice-room and pays the running expenses of management, which now amount to over twenty thousand dollars a year. Be- tween May 1, 1880, and September 30, 1884, the payments were as follows: POI cases &C., cidental death, $2O6, ,525; 9,O93 cases acci- dental injury, $114, 712; 5,975 cases surgical expense, $40, 958-a total of $362, 195 on ac- count of accidents; 19,039 cases natural sickness, $275, ,49s; 5s3 cases natural death, SIS, ,214-making grand total of $75O,9O7 expended in 34, 491 cases. The pension, an- nuity, savings and. building features of the scheme are developing with equal success, although not time enough has yet elapsed to show their results in such 6 striking way as in the other departments.
 All this is very encouraging. It indicates what can be done in a legitimate way to inn prove the condition of t'the working classes" provided there is disposition to do it. The experiment will command general attention, for it is the first of the kind which has been tried on a large scale in this country. Con- tinued success to it.

The Early Closing

There has now been enough of taLk about this, and believing it is time that S0metAzmg Sh0Wla 6e done, we propose, without waiting any longer for the de sired united action, to close o7t1' Sto1-e at 6 o'cI0ck OF Monday evenings during July and Au- gust.
 This is a beginning and it is done with a view to help on the movement, but we would take this opportunity to say that the real and permanent success of the thing depends, not on the storekeepers but on the people. Wherever there is a demand supply will be forthcoming; ii people a01H trade in the evening the stores will keep open for them. If the trades unions (who, we observe, have taken up the cause of the dry goods clerks) really wish to help early closing, they will most effectu- ally do it by inducing their members and friends n0t 70 6zl1 amytAfng amyaOAerc after six o'clock.

Rooks With odd Titles.

'I'm getting up descriptive catalogue for gentleman in Cleveland,' said Broadway bibliographer to a New York reporter re- gently, ''and among the rare and costly books in his possession are many which have long since passed into oblivion. Not only are they odd works, but they possess odd ti- ties. The titles of most of them are remark able for the alliteration. For instance, here is one called Seven Sobs for Sorrowful Soul of Sin, or the Seven Penitential Psalms of the Princely Prophet David;' whereunto are also added William Hermann's Handful of Boneysuckles,' and Divers Godly and Filthy Ditties, now newly augmented. Here is catechism called Spiritual Milk for Babes. Drawn out of the Hearts of both Tes- taments for their Souls Nourishment.' A work on the day of judgment is called The Sound of the Trumpet A theological trea- tise on purgatory is given the title of "A Fan to Drive Away Flies A homily on pa tience, fortitude and pain is known as The Three Daughters of Job.' A poem by Josh ua Sylvester against the use of tobacco is thus named: Tobacco Battered and the Pipes Shattered About their Ears that Idly Idolize so Loathsome a Vanity by Volley of Shot Thundered from Mount Helioon.' A work written by Samuel Fish, the Quaker who suffered imprisonment, is called, "A Sigh of Sorrow for the Summer of Zion, Breathed Out of Hole in the Wall of an Earthly Vessel Then there were such odd titles as A Pair of Bellows to Blow Of the Dust Cast on John Fry The Spiritual Musss tard Pot to Make the Soul Sneeze with De- votion,' The Gum of Patience,' The Bank of Faith Hooks and Eyes for Believers Brooches, "A Proper Project to Startle Fools,' Eggs of Charity Layed by the Chickens of the Convent and Boiled with Water of Di- vine Love-Take Ye and Eat The Shop of the Spiritual Apothecary, Collection of Passages from the Fathers, and others of like title Yes, many of the works are still extant."

Jane sighs and Ter large bewitching eyes are irresistible. She is woman of great intellectual powers, she thinks and becomes on the stage the character she personates.
