Prof. Atwater of Wesleyan Univer-
sity has rendered a philanthrOpic SER
/ vice by his articles on fOOd in the Cen
fury. We are a wastefGl people. Next
to our indulgence towards dishonesty,
it is our greatest crime as a people.
/ The reputation of state debts, and
4 provision of the national constitution
which permits such repudiation-by
denying the debtor the right to use the
national courts to secure his rights
and the easy temper we manifest
towards d~efalcatiOns and breaches OF
trusts, such things make us doubt the
honesty of our people.
But our waste of food may soon be-
come as bad a thing, as criminally care
less. 1t involves grave social problems.
HWhy are the poor growing poorer ?
Perhaps the largest answer is, Gun

part of the answer is, certainly, "Waste

the belief that the greatest waste is by
those who can least afford it. He ad-
found in Samuel Smiles book on
"Thrift"-a work which phiIanthropic
men ought to put into every home in
the land.
Mr.. George has a theory that power
ty is the result of wrong laws about
1and, or rather taxation. But there is
"a vast deal more proof that poverty is
largely a result of thriftlessness. And
sheer waste is one of the forms of I'M

On the stOck-market, for example, a

and sell when they are dear. Many
men buy when things are dear, and
sell when they are cheap. The many
intend to do as the few, but they re
verse the rule of the few. And this
simple fact explains half the rich mo-

PRIVILEGE OF BEING A WOMAN.

An Episode of the Harvard Annex.
Our Cambridge ~neighbOrs, says the
Christian Register, have lately been a
good deal amused by a complication
arising from prize dissertations in Har-
yard University. The "BowdOin priz-
es" are the highest rewards attainable
for English dissertations, and they
range from 800 downwards, being &C
cessible to all students of the Univer-
sity, undergraduate or graduate. This,
of course, excludes students of the So
called "Annex'' which has no organic
connection with the University but a
friend of the young ladies has for two
years offered smaller prizes for disser-
tations by them, with precisely the
same range of subjects, the prizes to
be awarded by precisely the same
judges. Last year no confusion result
ed but this year, by some accident,
the two sets of dissertations were sent
to the judges together, with nothing to
distinguish their sources. Those who
were assigned as judges for the histor-
ical essays Professors TOrrey and
Young-gave the first prize to II OH
"The Roman Senate under the En-
pre-" which was so good that they
recommended it for the rather unusual
award of the full sum ($I00). On
opening the sealed letter which accom-
panied it, they found the name of E.
B.. Pearson; but the class and depart
ment of the University were not desig-
mated, as is required, and Professor
Torrey expressed some surprise that
the author of so able an essay should
should not have complied with a pro-
vision so simple. In default of it they
looked through all the catalogue of the
University for the name of E. B. Pear
son and on their not finding it, ome
body gave the suggestion that this
person might be discovered in the An
mex. On their inquiring there, the true
fact came out-the author was a young
lady. So the essay of Miss Pearson
was necessarily ruled out of the list,
and Il prize of $75 was awarded to a
young gentleman instead i; while Miss
Pearson dropped at once from the
BowdOin prize of 800 to the humber
Annex prize of $50, thus paying $40
outright for the privilege of being IL
woman. The browning fact which
makes the situation amusing is that
the venerable Prof. Torrey is one of
the few professors who have disap-
proved of the Annex from the begin
ming, lie having held that neither the
brains nor the bodies of women were
quite equal to severe study.

An Incident of the Great Storm.

Frederick Hopkins, a we'll known
farmer in Putnam, aged 65, and his
housekeeper, Mrs. Emeline j. Whitney,
aged 20, were found Monday afternoon
frozen to death, two or three miles be
low Putnam. All appearances indicate
that they became bewildered in the
great nov storm last week while 60
ing from the house to the Darn to do
the chores. Two heifers and two
sheep were found starved to death,
and two yearlings and two sheep just
alive. The remaining 8 or 10 sheep
aud about 10 COWS were so emaciated
that they were barely able to stand.

FLOW OF SAP IN ROCK NAPLES
An Experimenter Finds that 1T Flows
Downward.
Rostou CuIfir1for-

Boston CHuiratoT.
On reading what Prest. w. s. CLARK
of Mass. Ag. college said of his expert
ments with the maple, Chat the saI
flowed down from abOve,) / was en-
couraged to think that possibly | might
be right in concluding the sap in
tapped tree comes down. In my ex-
perimenting, my first method to test
this was to bore, with the same bit,
two holes of equal depth, one directly
above the other, -four inches apart, put
a spout into the lower hole, and then
fill the other with fine salt ; next, to
drive a short plug combining both sap
and salt. Now, with watch in hand,
to note the time when brine began to
run. In just One hour the salt came
through, showing that the sap came
down, and that it took fifteen minutes
in passing down one inch. Of course,
the time occupied would depend much
on the temperature.
did not conclude that this was a
sure test, so l then introduced salt in
to other trees under the upper hole /;
in only one case did | get even a taste
of brine. Results thus far point to one
conclusion, sap runs down.
At this juncture another test Occurr-
ed to me to try, and if the result should
prove as | anticipated the fact would
be a conclusive demonstration. | Sc
lected a root running along on the
ground about the size of my wrist. /
then bored two perpendicular holes,
about one foot apart, inserting two
round wood spOuts, with the pith
punched out. Soon the sap was run
ming Ove the top of each.
So far nothing is settled. l ask the
tree sin what direstiOn does your sap
flow Z" | force an answer in this way:
With a say | saw the OOt in two be-
tween the spOuts; what is the result
Instantly the sap ceases flowing from
the lower spout, while the upper one
shows no change. 1t is now demon
strated that the upper spout, above the
cut, is fed from above. From this de-
a%cisiOn there can be no appeal.
This experiment [ have tried sever
al times with a uniform result. At one
|Of these experiments | look the pains
to have other witnesses besides my
self, among whom was an editor, a
and several other gentlemen,
lall of whom were perfectly satisfied
that | was right in my conclusion that
maple sap, the product of the rOck ma
lple, flows down when an incisiOn is
made and when conditions are favor
liable. TIMOTHY WHEELER.

Death Of Leslie Tilton.

Leslie, son OF Mr.. and Mrs. ". S. Tilton,
died Thursday morning, November %,
1888, aged months and Is days, of in
hammation of the bowels. We were not
prepared to see him go. He had been
bealthful and playful. The approach Of
the destroyer was no more suspected than
a storm Of snow amid the sunshine of
May. His crib &nd his chair and few
other articles remain as solemn reminders
that spirit has fled. The funeral SER
mon was preached at the family residence
Friday forenoon, at 10 o'clock, by Rev.
Mr. Brown. The sermon was laden with
choice thoughts, and we feel thankful
that it was delivered The remains of the
little one were buried in the city ceme-
terry, to which they were accompanied by
large procession of our neighbors. Mr..
and Mrs. Tilton know not where to begin
or leave off in extending thanks to such
neighbors as we are blessed with. The
attentions which were bestowed by these
neighbors from the first sign of our dis
tress until little Leslie was lain in his
grave were such as could not be effaced
from our recollection in a life whose
length was thousand years!
