NEW HAVEN, CONN Oct. 25.-Quite a
sensation was created at YalA College to-
day by the appearance in the Yale COurant
OF the following editorial:
alt is with some hesitation we venture
upon subject that can hardly have es-
capped the attention of the college at large.
We refer to the character OF the Sunday
service as now existing at Yale. That
interest In the Sunday service has been
reduced TO a minimum is evident to the
most ordinary observer and can hardly
have escaped the attention of the faculty.
Moreover, that little benefit Is derived
from the service by the students at large
is generally acknowledge d. Taking into
consideration that attendance is coInpui-
sorry, and with all due respect to the fac
ulty, We think we but echo the Common
consent Of the college In saying the g0s-
pei. a. preached TO US, is not what 1t
SHOULD be. When we consider that four
wears OF college life Will determine our
religious convict on Ia great part, we
think the subject should be presented to
US In The best manner possible. and not
in such a way as To drive us to skepti-
cism from sheer Indifference. II we are
fed on the dry husks # religious conven-
tiOnaism we can hardly be expected TO

A Wise Democratic Cat.
PHILADELPHIA Record.

Philadelphia Record
"Did you ever see a trained cat 2"
asked Mike Conner, Of Philadelphia,
as he stroked a little black feline that
stood on the bar of his saloon at the
corner Of Thirty-eighth and Market
streets on Saturday afternoon.
"Tom," he continued, removing
his hand from the cat, "you look
sick" The little animal dropped
down on its side and stretched out its
legs as though suffering great pain.
"Poor puss, Pm afraid your going
to die" The legs became rigid, the
eyes closed, and to all appearances
the cat was dead.
"RatsW yelled Conner. Like a
flash the cat was on its legs, its back
arched, and every hair on end.
"Look for 'em," and the little ami
NAL dashed back and forth on the bar
like black comet. Atanother word
of command it stopped short and its
trainer produced long, keen-edged
butcher knife. Holding the edge to-
ward puss he said: "Now, see if the
knife is sharp"
The cat sat up on its launches and
stretching out one paw it passed it
gently down the keen edge of the
blade. 1t then examined the blade
with both paws, while the little
black head was cooked off at one side
and almost a human look of intelli-
gence shone from the swapping eyes,
Mike is Democrat and so is the
cat. The former placed a Republi
can newspaper at one end of the bar,
and asked puss if it would like to
read the news. Puss took one hasty
glance at the paper, and then savage
ly tore it to.pieces with its teeth and
claws.
Mike placed another newspaper at
the other end of the bar, and told puss
that that was Democratic organ,
and puss curled up on the sheet, pur-
red softly and went to sleep.

An Established Success The Largest
Advertisers 1.-THE South.

Jacksonville, Fla, Times. Union. q.
1t would be superfluous, of course,
to "call attention" to the page adver-
tisement which appears in this issue
of the Times Union of the Swift Spe-
cific Company. This is no expert
ment with them, or an effort to thrust
a new and worthless drug upon the
market. This blood purifier has been
on the market for years, and grows
in favor and popularity each year,
and calls forth continually scores and
hundreds of endorsements from those
unfortunates who have been relieved
and cured by its use. The growth of
their business has been immense.
They now occupy an entire building
in one of the principal business blocks
in Atlanta, employing scores of men
and ship thousands Of dollars of this
medicine to all parts of the United
States and to foreign countries.
They are bold advertises, ranking
among the largest in the world, and
by far the largest in the South. BY
this means they have made known
what they have, and its merits main
tain its popularity wherever intro.
duced.
One lesson they teach the business
man, however. Some imagine that
they or their business are too well
known to need any advertising. This
company, which is not nlyeXtensive
advertisers, having spent annually
thousands of dollas for the past TWEEN,
ty years, ranking also among the
shreWdest advertisers, make nc
abatement in it, but increase rather
than diminish their expenditures in
this line and in the same territory
They also testify to the superiority Of
newspaper advertising.

An Editors Opinion.

Temperance Advocate, Atlanta,
Beware of anything thatthe maker
is afraid to own as his own. One rea-
son, among the great many Others
which we could give why the justly
famed Swift'S Specific has attained
such large sale, is the fact that Mr..
Swift, the original inventor, gave his
name to it. This wonderful medicine
continues to grow in popularity, not
withstanding the papers are full of
the advertisements of imitators and
followers. Indeed it has come to pass
that this medicine is doing good in
curing those who have become seri-
ously affected from taking other mix
lures put up by nobody knows who.

Uncle Dick Saulter says: Fifty years

was not cured. Amputatiou was discussed,

wonderful blood medicine. 1t has Also

Cor. Home and Farm.
One of your correspondents wishes
to know how tomake an Rolian harp.
Choose a window on the side of the
house toward which the winds come
oftenest, then between the upper and
lower sash, right where they join, is
the place. Have two little wedges,
with long horsehair or piece of silk
thread, but the hair is the best, fasten
to each, and drive down between the
sash. Be particular and see that the
hair does not touch the sash, but let
it be exactly half way between each.

to some of the widest, most unearth-
