COLLEGE SOCIETIES.
An Established Power In All American
Educational institutions.

] am often asked by anxious papas,
what good is secret society for
boy in eollegepn The form of the
question suggests the idea that the
papa is not likely to have had any per-
sonal experience either of the one or
the other; but the answer is plain.
The secret college fraternity organiza-
tons of the better class have come to
be an established power in American
colleges. and in proportion to their
merits they exercise an influence for
good or evil upon the career of every
student that is. in the average. not
much less important than that exerted
by Alma Mater herself. As an in
tluence 1t is stronger while it lasts. and,
as u rule. lasts much longer. 1t is no
more question, shall | permit my
son to join u fraternity" The
question is, Can l hope that
my son will be accepted by one
OF the bestp" A curious instance OF
their practical workings has been re-
Gently told me on good authority. A
Southern gentleman more than twenty
years ago joined one of these institu-
tons. Soon after this his chapter be-
came extinct. He himself became in
turn teacher. married and reared a
family of children. He was Industrious
and worthy in every way, but the yell
VOW fever panic in the South deprived
him OF his only means OF support. The
wolf was at the door. The last re-
sources OF economy had been exhausted.
In his despair he addressed a letter,
detailing his circumstances, to the fra
ternity at large, asking aid. A tele-
gram TO the president Of a Southern
college was answered with a satisfac-
tory Endorsement, and within few
hours a sum of money was on its way
20 the unfortunate one which was quite
adequate to his immediate needs, and
for which he has the satisfaction OF
knowing he is not indebted to organized
charity. but to organized love--N \.

1t is marvellous how few white mon
lose their lives from hunting, although
their adventures and narrow escapes,
especially from the tiger tribe, are
numerous. A sub commissioner, who
is magistrate for sub-district, went
out in the Jungle one day to try and

to him as having been seen near the
village where he resided. There be-

the thick underground only a few yards

THE FACTORY SYSTEM.
How Farmers Can Make 1t More Profitable
Than Home Dairying.


That the factory system is better for
the farmer than the home dairy is now
an acknowledged fact, with the ex-
ceptions that go with every rule.
There are some men who possess the
ability to work out their own saliva
ton under any and all circumstances,
and such men seldom work well under
the restrictions that are necessary for
managing factory. We are here
speaking of the general run of dairy
men who constitute the great major
ity. Such men are wanting in system,
drive and push to succeed on their
own hook, and do far better by sur
rendering some of their independence
and work together for a common pur-
pose. Whether the factory is carried
on by II single owner, who contracts
and pays for the milk or cream, or the
work is under the cooperative system,
is II matter to be governed by circum-
stances. As II rule the contract sys-
tom works best when the right man
has the factory in hand, but the prof
its are greater to the farmers who
work well together under the cooper
alive system, but this needs pc
culiar surroundings to make
it successful. There must be
n mutual consent to give and take
and all work to the best advantage in
the common cause, When jealousies
and ambitions creep in the trouble
begins, and few hoggish patrons can
break up the company at short notice,
and unless there is good plan adopted
to begin with, these creatures are sure
to make their appearance. The best
way to avoid trouble is to have every
thing up and above board, with ample
provisions for rewards and punish
monts, so that each patron will know
that equal and exact Justice will be
melted out TO him according to his
deserts. Every thing, as far as pos
siole, should be carried on by regular
constituted COMM tees, and every
body should have an opportunity at
some time to serve on these commit
tees, so that each one will feel that he
is part of the organization. Mutual
respect among the patrons is the KEY
stone of success, and constant assoc
citation does much to encourage this
spirit, especially If the factory can be
made the place of meeting. Public
spirited men should encourage the
formation of cooperative factories
