that England and Ireland are too close to adj,

too simple even in these days of Jacksonian

PROHIBITION AED THE VETERANS.

1t Is a pity that the scarcity of other news
should have induced the newSgatherers at
Portland to make so much of a sensation
over the fact that the prohibitionists, at the
birthplace and home of prohibition where
General Neal Dow himself resides-have
been making efforts to keep the veterans of
the Grand Army entirely sober during their
stay in that lovely city. Portland expects
every prOhibitionist to do his duty, and Ger

Cornelius Smith has the contract

Der of logs cut from trees standing on
the fields of Antietam at the time of

of missels, from cannon balls to buck
shot, are almost daily met with in the
timber, and that it is really dangerous
to stand near the saws in his mill when
such lumber is being cut, number of
saws having been snapped into frag-
ments, when running at high rate Of
speed, by striking iron shot imbedded
in the logs.
A large. fragment of shed was
struck by saw few days ago, and a
perfect shower of sparks rained about

EXPENSES at College,

Although the difference in the
amount of money which students at
different colleges spend is very great,
here is not such disparity in the
necessary expenses as many people sup
pose, says the Harua,d Crimson. At
The city colleges. such as Harvard,
Yale and Columbia, the necessary ex-
oenses may be about 500 more than
1t Amherst, Dartmouth, or Williams;
out this slight increase is more than
sounterbalanced by the aid which
larger colleges offer INDECENT students.
Harvard has at her disposal 122 schol-
lrships, varying in amount from $S5 to
1850. averaging about S235. In the
freshman year there are two assign
nents made and it is possible for a
lard student to receive 5000 in scholar
,hips during the first year-a sum more
.han sufficient to pay all his expenses.
Here aid is given to students who are
needy and who stand high in their
classes; but in almost all other colleges
hose who intend to study for the min
stry are the favored ones, and at
some colleges it is impossible for any
others to receive the slightest assist
ance. Room rent, board, and tuition
are the principal items in the neces-
,ary expenses, and of these room rent
varies the most. At Amherst a stu
dent pays from $40 to s125 for single
room; at Williams, s25 to 800; at
Yale, $50 to $50; while at Harvard
the rent varies all the way from S44
to $500, with very few desirable rooms
for less than $50. Of course if two
students room together the expense
is reduced one half. The difference in
the second item, board is not nearly so
great, the large numbers at the city
colleges rendering cooperation much
easier and enabling the students to
| procure better board at less cost. 1t is

Smart American Canine.

One summer afternoon agroup of chill
dren were playing at the end of a pier
which projects into Lake Ontario. near
Kingston. New York, U.S.A. The pro-
verbal careless child of the party
made the proverbial backward step off
from the pier into the water. None
OF his companions could save him, and
their cries had brought no one from
the shore, when, just as he was sink
ing for the third time, suberb New.
foundland dog rushed down the peir in
to the water. and pulled the boy out.
Those of the children who did not ac-
company the boy home took the dog to
a confectioner's on the shore. and fed
him with as great a variety Of cakes
and other sweets as he would eat. So
far the story is, of course, only typical
of scores of well-known cases. The
individuality of this case is left fol
the sequel.
The next afternoon. the same group
of children were playing at the same
place, when the canine hero of the day
before came trotting down to them
with the most friendly wags and mods.
There being no occasion this time for
supplying him with delicacies, the
children only stroked and patted him.
The dog. however, had not come
out of pure sociability. A child
in the water and cakes and candy stood
to him IN the close and obvious rela-
tion of cause and effect, and if this re-
lation was not clear to the children, he
resolved to impress it upon them.
Watching his chance he crept up be-
hind the child who was standing
nearest to the edge of the pier, gave a
sudden push, which sent him into the
water then sprang in after him, and
gravely brought him to shore.
To those of us who have had high
respect for the disinterestedness of
dogs. this story may give proof that
the development of the intelligence. at
the expense Of the moral nature, is by
no means exclusively human.-Lo',-
don Spectator.
