College Discipline.

Hundreds of graduates of the Prince
ton college in all parts of the country,
says Harper'S Weekly, were sorry to
learn of tho death of DR.. John Maclcan.
ex-president of that institution. His
familiar figure, with long black cloak
and high hat on the back of his head,
will be missed from the streets of Prince
ton, where for more than eighty years
it appeared almost daily, and at the
annual commandments. where it was
cheered longer and more loudly than
any other. While discharging the ac-
tive duties of his Office the doctor-or
Johnny" as the boys used affection
ately to call him-was in the habit OF
proving about the campus with dark
lantern whenever any disorder was
brewing, and he invariably softened his
football by wearing pair of ''gum
shoes Thousands of times previous
TO 1868, did the campus resound at
night with yells of ''Johnr john
that served either to warn mischief
makers of his proximity or to draw the
old gentleman from his house for the
fun of seeing him in the chase When
he succeeded in capturing an offender
his practice was to grab him around the
body with his right arm and then turn
the dark lantern upon his face. Tne
next morning the culprit was invited to
appear before the faculty. The favorite
amusement in those days was to have a
horn spree" 1t consisted of blowing
enormous tin horns. removing gates
from fences, making bonfires, serenad-
ing the more obnoxious of the professors
or tutors, and having sort of Buffalo
BilPs-Wild-West time generally. When
DR.. McCosh became president he in
trusted the duty of preserving order at
night to new officer, called the
proctor.

They stood at the front gate at the
closing scene of q long evenings en-
gagement. The conversation had
dwindled to two-base hits, and his in
tellect had grown limp framing excuses
for hanging on.

languidly over the gate, ''can you tell
me who will be GOVERNOR"
why, certainly" he replied; 'fray-

Then they laughed little, ingram.

''But, Charley" she continued, "T'm
serious; don't you think 'twould be toe
awfully bad for them to have two
brothers going around speaking against
each other and saying all of those hor.
rid things?"
Charley had not sifted the results Of
such an evil, but replied: ''Yes, con.
fess 'twould look little tough, but
then, you sec, they wouldn't go into
personalities, but discuss the issues be
fore the people"
what are the issues, Charley?"
The line was too long, but with 9
death rattle in his throat he stammered
"Oh, you know, the Blair bill. sup
pose, and-eh-the tariff, and"
A great light kindled in her beautiful
eyes, and, leaning over the gate. she
whispered in a soft, balcony sigh:
Charley, won't you tell me all about
the tariff?''
That swept his decks. His informa
ton wasn't built that way.-NashUiIE,

Colorado Girls.

"Have you ever heard of breach-of-
promise case in Colorado?" asked a
Tribune reporter of prominent Denver
lawyer the other day.
NO" said the lawyer refiectively,
81 have not, and am positive there has
never been such case in twenty-six
years. Seems little strange, doesn't
it? Yes, breaeh-of-promise cases are of
frequent occurrence in other States,
there's no mistake about that, but Colo
RADIO has escaped that stigma ever since
it became a Territory. How has it hap
pened. you sayP Well, I'll tell you, it's
Just this way. In older civilizations
like New England or perhaps the in
terror of some of the Eastern and Mid
die States life runs ON in little narrow
ruts; the same friendships, the same as
sociations, and the same thoughts in
fiuence persons from their childhood
up. SO that an idea once having taken
possession of them people are never dis
abused of it until they are dead.
'lf woman gets it into her head
that she is going to marry certain
man she will push that idea to an ex-
treme, because men are fewer and wo-
| men 1re less independent in the older
settled States. They don't know so
well how to make living as Western
women do. so there is little left for
NOW, in the older and more remote
localities, if man pays marked atten-
ton to a woman he is. in for it'--that
is. it is expected, not alone by the
young woman, but by the neighbors as

Now, you know no verbal promise is
requisite in a matter of this kind. A
woman can bring suit against q man
for great deal less encouragement
than that, and she very often does it,

Union. You see, there are places where
a man has to be careful of his actions.

and cruel world. A rich old man pay

woman who is his inferior socially is
very apt to make himself the victim in a
breach-of-promise suit.
''That is the way those things go.
| My opinion is that the cases of this ma
ture which occur usually in Colorado
happen among persons who have no
means, so that to bring an action
against the gay deceivers is impossible.

Turpcntine Negroes.

Just about the toughest beings that
ever cursed country are some of these
turpentine negroes. They are paid by
the box. 81 to $50 per hundred for
box cutting. and furnished so much ra-
tons. The old rule was peck of meal,
seven pounds of bacon, and quart OF
strip. Other provisions the darky must
pay for himself They are given shan
ties to live in, and there, amid filth and
vermin, they sleep and eat Sometimes
they win get together nights and sing
and preach and pray until after mid
night, and then, at the call of the wood
man. they are up and going by early
dawn. Saturday evenings at the sta
ton they congregatc, and. where whis-
XIV is obtainable. there are scenes of the
widest sort. That is what caused so
many of those wircgrass counties to go
dry. Liquor demoralized the laborers
to such an extent that 1t was ruinous.
There is not so much money in turpen-
tine as there was five years ago, but
men still manage to farm it.-AtEanta

A Turpentine Farm.

A turpentine farm must be seen to be
appreciated When farm is first
pitched the boxes are cut one to three
in pine, according to size. The trees
are counted into crops of so many
thousands, and this is called virgin
crop. The queer little gauge called
buck is then brought to bear and
streak is cut above the box, which is
simply a deep oval notch, pointing
downward so as to lead the gum which
exudes into the box below. These boxes
are made to hold about quart. This
first run is rs clear as oil, and is the
finest of all After being dipped out
with paddle, it is distilled, and the
hard resin left is sometimes as white
and clear as glass. 1t is very beautiful.
and brings good price in the great
naval-stores markets. Second years
gum is not as good in quality, but fully
SO in quantity. Third year boxes, when
the monthly hackings have made the
scar high up. are stili poorer, and from
then on the crops hardly pay for work

The Niagara Whirlpool

The whirlpool, well called ''the an
griest bit of water in the world, !" is three
miles below the great Falls of Niagara.
At this point the river, bending toward
the Canada side, is contracted to q
width of about 220 feet. The waters
rush violently into deep depression in
the steep cliff that rises on the Canada
side, then they emerge. turning back al.
most at right angle to the American
side. This spot seems to be portion
of the bed Of an ancient channel. Here
the angry waters boil and churn with a
ferceness almost Incredible The waves
are never ut rest. They toss and whirl
and toy with the heaviest timber. II
makes one dizzy 10 look at the fierce tn.
mutt OF the waves.
The great maelstrom covers a space
OF about quarter of mile square. Its
depths are enormous and unknown
One thousand feet of cord was found
too short TO reach the bottom. The
whirlpool is in the form of large circle.
The average force of tho volume of wa.
ter moving through the canon above is
155, 600 feet square. This compact mass
OF water moves with incredible swift
ness, entering the whirlpool on one
side, spinning around like top, and
then passing madly on.-PhiEadelpbia

w. o. Atwater, of Wesleyan University,
who for years past has been engaged in
special Investigation in this field. The
object of the articles is to present some

which our bodies and the foods that
nourish them are composed; the digest
Utility of food; the proportions of nu-

Buried Under Able Management.

j. NJ. Hill, the manager while build
ing up the fame of Margaret Mather,
has never forgotten to announce that
she was under the management of j.
NJ. Hill. This self-advertisement has
been carried to such an extent that il
has become a standing joke in the pro-
fession. and last week pert soubrette
of Palmer's company set the green-room
in a roar by remarking:
"Mather was sick yesterday and
thought she was going to die. Papa,
she said-you know she calls Hill papa
