The faithful student has reason to be proud
Of his degree. "a NJ and "A b" and all
the other honorable Authorizations represent
application, energy, industry and ability.
They are most respectable introductions to
the world, acquisitions to be proud OF
throughout life.
Nor is the ''sweet girl graduate always
without her literary degrees. The days
when she was content with few alleged
accomplishments" have vanished Talk
about ''hiGher education has caught her ear.
She has pounded on the doors of the greatest
and best institutions of learning until more
than one Of them have been forced to open
and let her in on equal terms with her broth
ers. Colleges for her and her sisters only
have been founded whose curriculum COM
mauds the respect OF the most scholarly She
now comes forth, not only a sweet, but a
learned girl graduate In classic authors she
can acquit herself as creditably as graduates
Of the more robust sex. In Greek she can
hold her own with them IN XenophOn, Thu
cydides and Homer. In Latin she is at home
with Livy, Horace, Virgil, Ovid and Cicero
In mathematics her scientific knowledge is
frequently extended to embrace the differen-
tial and integral calculus, and she is behind
no one in astronomy and chemistry
These be not fiourishing days for the
female seminaries which send forth cata-
logues largely devoted to interesting facts in
regard to the fine bathing" tho carriages
and saddle horses furnished at moderate
charge, and 1.-THE class rooms and dormitories
which look out on extremely romantic seem
cry" These elluTemeuts, formerly so potent,
fail to allure. The young girl of the period
wants learning of as good a brand as can be
obtained by the sex to which she does not
belong. Classic languages and the sciences
are more to her than carriages and saddle
horses She intends 20 win spurs on the same
field of fiction as her brothers. She will be
found later on at the bar, beside the operat-
ing table Of the surgeon, in the pulpit, in
literature and in commerce. Wisely has she
chosen to equip herself for the race with the
same ar1nor and weapons.
In 10 country are educational facilities
better than this. We have over eco institu-
lions of learning, and more than 100 female
universities and colleges alone. And in no
country is there wider field for displaying
the power of education that this. 1t has

same position, but he declined it, He has
taken part in n number of important legal
cases. In 1884 he was elected a member Of
the board of trustees of Bowdoin college,
and at the same time they voted him the de-
gree of LII. D. He was for several years
president of the Portland institute and pub
lie Library, and is now president Of the
corporation of the Maine General hospital.
Mr.. Putnam was retained by Mr. Bayard
as lawyer in the legal proceedings against
United States fishing vessels at Halifax, and
thus deyolved on him the duty Of ascertain
ing the detailed facts concerning all COM
plants made BY our fishing vessels, the legal
principles applicable to these cases, and
especially the practical relations and effect
Of the Dominion statutes and methods of
judicial proceedings. Perhaps it was largely
on account OF the information thus acquired
that he was selected to act in assisting Mr.
Bayard in the recent negotiation with the
commissioners Of Great Britain Mr.. Put

important tables on the value of the currency
at various times, the average birth and death
rates, the percentage of gain or loss in vari-
GUS lines of progress, the value of foreign
coins and many other interesting tables. He
was also the author of those monthly tables
on the public debt and market price of bonds
which long interested the public. He began
active life as telegraph operator in Boston,
and received the first message transmitted
from New York to that city over the electric
Geographic line.
Personally Mr.. Elliot was a picturesque
figure in Washington life. He was small
man about five feet four in height, and
weighing more than 800 pounds, had
round head covered with close cropped gray
hair, bright gray eyes, military mustacne,
short legs, and duck like walk Hc was
marked figure everywhere He was rarely
seen without package of papers under his
arm, and he was so in love with work that he
visited his Office at night and on Sundays
Soon after the war he prepared a set OF
pamphlets giving deductions as to the num-
Der of killed and wounded, the amount of
loss from deserters and men taken prisoners,
and all sorts of other army statistics. These
pamphlets were read by Mr.. Elliott at a
session of the International Statistical con-
gress in Berlin, to which he was sent as the
government representative His early in
formation in treasury movements, submitted
to him for calculation as TO their probable
results, would have made him a millionaire
if he had used it in Wall street, yet he died
poor. His salary was but $3.50 per year;
for that he did work of inestimable value to
the government and mover betrayed trust.

The fifteenth annual session Of the Supreme
Lodge Of the Knights Of Pythias Of the
World begins its sessions on June Il in the
Scottish Rite cathedral at Cincinnati The
organization Of the order took place in the
room of Robert A Champion. at Washing
ton, D. c., on the evening Of the 18th Of Feb
ruary, 1854 There were present j. Fl. Rath-
bone, r A. Champion, D. L Bennett, E s.
Kimball, W. h Burnett, Charles H. Roberts
and William Driver. A grand lodge was
organized on April S, with J. 7. K Plant as
chancellor, which at once began to organize
lodges elsewhere This lodge became the
most important of the order, which il saved
from dying out when other lodges had ceased
to exist. at one time it was the only lodge
of the order in existence.
The Grand Lodge OF the District of Colum
bia had occupied the position of Grand Lodge
of the United States. 1t held its last session
on the 18th of June, 1866. On the lst Of May,
1866, number of past chaneellors met for
k'~SS W iOSi eaA-SAtie, e~-c vi ah2 4o4SSs
which had not held meeting since June,
1865. j. r. Rathbone was elected grand
chancellor, and the signs, grips, etc, were
changed. From this meeting the Supreme
lodge has convened regularly, and the order
has steadily advanced, and has sincs spread
to every state and territory Of the Union.
On the 1st Of November, 1875, circular
was issued authorizing the uniform rank. and
four years later specifications for officers
were adopted In the matter OF uniform and
the form OF commission and duties. A plan
for regiments, grand divisions and divisions
was adopted, the official titles partaking of
military character. There are now 1000
members of the uniform rank, and many of
them are drilled in marching and naneuvers
of distinctive character, and at the bien-
MEL session of the supreme lodge held in 1854,
laws were adopted for thorough military
system and an officer to be appointed by the
supreme chancellor with the rank Of major
general James r. Carnahan, supreme rep
resentative from Indiana, was appointed.
Gen. Carnahan has been at the head of the
uniform rank since 1854, and on the lSt of
May, 1887, he was appointed head of the uni
form rank for the world, his commission to
continue for four years.

GLASGOW EXHIBITION-SIR JAMES KING.
AT the Glasgow exhibition they have gone
into the presenting of old features or their
restoration, which have long ago disappeared.
Not q fragment OF the Bishops palace of
former times remains, but at the beginning
of this century there were portions of it left,
and drawings of it at still earlier date are
extant. The palace has been restored from
these authorities 1t is in the old castellated
style of architecture common in Scotland,
the details of which are well understood
The present erection has all the appearance
of being built in sandstone, the ''old red" Of
Hugh Miller's studies being prominent; it is
only when one comes almost close to the
walls that it becomes certain that it is only
an imitation.
There is an archaeological museum belong
ing to Glasgow, situated in the West End
park, which forms part Of the Great Inter
national exhibition; but the Bishops palace
will also contain relics of the past There
are numerous contributions for the exhibi-
