"No, sir"
"Then why do you ask for aplace?'
"On account of my fitness"

California papers note that or

California papers note that great
change has come over the old mountain
mining counties. The mines are no
more, but in their stead are orchards and
forests. Bartlett pear trees growing in
quartz piles, and young woodlands
creeping down over the tailings and
sluice deposits Of former era are among
the things that would astonish the old
forty miner.

A Boston Publishing House Robbed
 by It's EmplOyes fer Twenty Years.
 BOSTON, June s.-The Herald will say to- morrow that fox period of twenty years there has been carried on a systematic plan of embedding goods from, one of the largest printing concerns in this city and a thorough investigation is now in prog ress which threatens to result in the ar rest of many of it's oldest employees. The lowest estimate of the value of goods stolen is $200, 900. The mode of operation is said to have been for those employed in diff ferent departments to steal stock and slip it to other houses in similar line. They car- ried off copies of books in process of con- struction, of which books the concern was the only owner, and also books the concern was printing for others. These they have smuggled into the hands of binders in the ring, and from the binders they were carried to sellers to be placed upon the market. The conspirators grew so bold that they took books for which there was such a demand that the publishers could not supply it as rapidly as desired ands they filled orders themselves. In such eases they attracted attention to themselves by selling at legs than the man1facturer's cost. The detectives have had the case in hand six months and some most sensational developments are expected soon. The Her aid in it's article mentions no names.

 The '8S class book, which will be placed on sale this morning, presents an unusually at- tractive appearance. Geographically and in the general arrangement of it's contents it is far ahead of it's predecessors and reflects great credit upon it's compiler, MT. John H. Storer of Norwich. The design of the cover is unique, presenting large elm tree on which is partially unr0lled scroll with 8 view of the campus from Chapel street. Opening the volume the well known features of Professor H. F. Wright, dean of the fac ulty, strike the eye, forming the frontispiece. It is an excellent likeness. The volume also contains the portraits of twenty-one of the best known professors, Q view of Batten, Durfee and Farnam, and picture, the Pier son statue, and of Peabody museum as it will appear when completed. The book gives the statistics of the class in full, hardly fact is omitted, and many opinions on varied assortment of subjects are quoted. It will be of inestimable value to co1legians as a souvenir and the public generally will find much within it's covers to interest and amuse. Some of the replies to the questions prove that 'SS has it's humor- ists. A few interesting facts may be culled. The average age of the class is 22 years, 2 months and 7 days, the youngest class since S4 Carl Meyer of Chicago is the baby, being only 19 years, 10 months and day. Hand is the tallest man at foot inches, Husins- ky the shortest at 5 feet 3 inches, while the average is feet inches. The average weight is 143.51 pounds-the lightest since Fl. 3-8 is the largest hat and Ne. 12 the largest shoe. The largest number of the men came from Phillips Andover academy, that school sending thirteen, while Williston and the New Haven High school come next with eight each. Prof. H. P. Wright is the most popular professor, MT. Abbott their most popular tutor, while Prof. Sumner is considered the best instructor. The class has voted that Charles B. McConkey of the nine is the handsomess man and A. L. Moore the homeliest In speaking of New Haven society one bright boy says: "The New Haven girl is an everlasting; the bleom of youth on her cheek fades but slowly, and whenever see her meeting new classes as they come, there is borne to my ear the re- frain of the old sonnet:
