The irrepressible small boy from East
Liberty came into the city via Fifth ave-
nue. line, accompanied by his father, who
frowned upon any attempts for him to be-
come inquisitive This was very hard on
the boy, and he sat in misery for ten min
utes, not saying a word. At Soho street the
car stopped to take on a lady sttired in a
very loud red dress. with cheeks painted to
match. The gripmau started with his
usual disregard for the equilibrium Of the
passengers, and as a result the irrepressi-
ble's father suddenly found himself hold
ing the new passenger on his lap.
"Oh, AMT it funny" screamed the boy,
dancing with delight But amt you glad
mama isn't here; You remember what
happened when she saw you holding Aunt
Fanny on your lap the other day"
The boy and his father alighued from the
car az the next street with an energy that
made the youngter smell the single in the

THE coL1roe MANS FUTURE.
The Method of Training the Undergrad
uate In the Ideal University.


What, in the growth of higher university
life, is to become of the undergraduates?
Will he not be made too subordinate a be.
ing, in view of the lofty ideals of the uni
versity? AS a matter of fact, the great
numbers and the large significance of the
undergraduates in every university insure
and always will insure the closest atten-
ton to their needs and interests, however
much the ideal of the university grows
upon US, however lofty the more organic
and national purposes of our academic
work become.
OF the proper place of the undergraduate
In the organism of a great university /
have pretty decided notion, which l
should like to express as l close. 1t is this
In the true university the undergraduate
ought to feel himself novice in an order
of learned servants of the ideal-a novice
who, if in turn he be found willing and
worthy, may be admitted, after his first de-
gree, to the tolls and privileges of this order
as a graduate or, still later, as a teacher;
but who, on the other hand, if, as will most
frequently happen, he is not for this call
ing, will be sent back to the world, en-
riched by his undergraduate years of inter
course with his fellows, and with elder
men and progressive scholars.
The ideal academic life, then, is not or
ganized expressly for him. And yet he
will gain by the very fact that it is organ
lied for higher aims and upon more sig
nif1cant principles than his individual in
terests directly involve. 1t is a mistake to
think first of "disciplining" the under
graduate mind, and then of higher AGA
demic purposes. First let us seek the
highest, which is organized scholarship.
Then let US give ample time, teachers
and oversight to the undergraduates, but
let what we do for them be informed by
the true university spirit; that is, let us
treat them just as novices preparing to
enter the higher scholarly life in some one
Of the multitudinous departments of mod
ern research, and let US train them as if
they were all known to be worthy of such
a calling. Josiah Royce in Serb

pickers from the fields and have burned
Mr. Bonds gin house. They threaten TO
drive all the pickers out and and burn all
the gin houses. The sheriff is on the ground
with writs for the leaders. Another posse

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Sept. 26.-Late re-
ports received from Mariana say that the
trouble between the cotton pickers there
eliminated in a riot, resulting in several
negroes being killed and a number
wounded. The sheriff quelled the dis
turbance and arrested the leaders. The
riot grew out of the strike inaugurated by
the pickers for an increase in wages.

Guckenheimer s. Sons building and stock

When Napoleon was at Elba he read the
Able Prsdt's Memoirs, and was vastly
entertained by them. Indeed, he is said to
have roared with laughter, and if the able
could so enliven the pining exile, he surely
did not live in vain. 1t is stated in these
memoirs that when Napoleon met the able
at an inn in Warsaw, after the French had
retreated from Russia, the emperor was
much impressed by his personality. In.
deed, he sat down at table and took notes
of the abbe's conversation.

The Cop.truction OF the Earthrorm.

A slight acquaintance with the anatomy
of an earthworm enables us to understand
why the body is divided into a number of
rings, or ''segments," as they are more
generally termed. The internal organs,
instead of being distributed among the
seRments, are for the most part repeated
from segment TO segment. 1t follows,
therefore, that when the gardeners spade
shears off several inches of worm the an
imal is not deprived of one or more essen
tial organs, but only Of a less or greater
number of parts of these organs.
Spalanzani was the first naturalist who
made-about 200 years ago-experiments
of this kind, which proved, as subsequent
writer pointed out, that shy a strange
paradox in nature, the most useless and
contemplate lives are, of all others, eX-
tinguished with the greatest difficulty"
In addition to these advantages in its
construction, the earthworm has a certain
amount of cunning, which must enable it
to escape some foes. On mild, wet evenings
innumerable worms may be seen lying out
with the ends of their tails fixed in their
burrows; on the slightest alarm they rap
idly retire underground.-Cham Jour

ward the drowning man, when two
large albatrosses were seen TO descend
with an eagle-like swoop and attack
the poor fellow In a terrible manner.
Both birds dashed at him and it seemed
as II they were endeavoring to gouge
out his eyes with their hooky bills,
while with their wings they kept beat

Origin Of Some Of the Social Customs o.
Civilization.

Origin Of Some Of the Social Customs Of
Civilization.
How came the people Of civilized
countries to acquire the habit OF shak-
ing hands, of bowling, Of saying you
are welcome" and thank you" Of
touching or taking off the hat to lady,
of going through movements which are
considered acts OF courtesy and good
manners, and are required in cultivated
society," Such questions occurred to
a German gentleman OF an investigat
ing turn, and he looked into the mat
ter, which, though seeming trivial to
some, is Of consequence; for are not
courtesies and consideration for con-
ventional forms distinguishing marks
between rude state Of society and 9
refined one, between barbarians and
persons of gentle breeding? He traces
some Of the forms mentioned to "the
signals of peace manifest among the
savage tribes" For instance, when
they would have said TO an enemy
''Your life Is safe" the usage of years
might have wrought such a change
that they said instead "You are well
come" He thinks the present form OF
raising the hat" originated in the Gus
tom of removing the helmet before q
superior or conqueror. And in account
ing for Shaking hands," he reminds US
that one who came into a hostile tribe
showed his peaceful intentions by hold
ing out his empty hands; that Is, with
out weapons The chief, or those In
power, might have touched tho extend

Of goodwill was reciprocated -Bes'
