Was America Ever Discovered

At the time when Columbus started in search of the New World, nearly every man, woman and child in Europe insisted that there was no New World to discover. When he came back crowned with success, 8 large pro portion of these good people adhered to their theory; and if they were alive to-day many of them would doubtless insist that America had never been discovered at all. A man will give mp anything in this world more readily than a pet theory. For example, look at the 1ndivid- incurable. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery has cured thousands upon thousands of cases and will euro thousands more, but these people can't give up their point. Never theless the Discovery" will cure any case of consumption, if taken in time.

are very few people who know how much can
be done in this business with musk-rat skins.
They are by no means bad fur / can tell
you. They are taken at the city establish
ments, clipped, colored and put into such
shape that they very closely resemble otter,
and if not sold for that are at least represent
ed to be much better than they really are.
It's strange fact that although tons of
mnsk-rat skins are sent To the city you could
no: find musk-rat fur if you were TO visit all
the stores in the place. There are great
many stylish ladies in the cities who are
wearing this fur for all that They don't
know it however, for they bought it under

Bowdoin College.

President Hyde of Bowdoin does not think
that influence of athletics induces the
attendance of two per cent of our college
students, He says If it were possible to hear
and to faithfully report the anxious in
quiries of conscientious fathers, the fervent
prayers of devoted mothers, the earnest
questionings of thoughtful boys themselves
"a to the thoroughness of intellectual train
ing. the purity of moral life, the prevalence
of a reverent spirit at college to which
student thinks of going, am confident that
my allowance of per cent. to the influence
of athletics would seem excessive
President Hyde's letter on this subject is
Enthusiastically frank and sensible. There
is no point upon which the gen
eral public entertains more erroneous ideas
than this. 1t is surprising fact that this
error is often fostered by college graduates
of the past few years, who are anxious to
shine as newspaper lights by contributing
something to the sensationalism of the day,
even though they know it to be essentially
false. We will venture two or three state
ments which experience has shown us
to be true LIST There are a far greater
number of good than poor scholars among
the so-called college athletes" 2nd. The
poorest scholars are rarely engaged in athletic
sports of any kind, 3rd. There is no more
attention paid to physical pursuits than is es-
