THE STATE SHOULD FEED HER
TROOPS.

y correspondent writing in the Will
mington Messenger says this, and we
fully endorse the proposition:
Its generally conceded that there
is absolute necessity for sustaining a
wcll-equipped militia in North Caro-
lima, and the State has every reason
to be proud Of her troops for the cheer
full obedience which they manifest
when summoned to duty. But there
are 4 few things to which | wish to
draw attention in this article. In the
first place, the members of the State
Guard are annually ordered to attend
the enCampment, and many of the
men are required to bear their own
expenses while in camp, to say nothing
of the loss incurred while absent from
their business occupations. | think
that the State should show some appre-
citation Of her troops and furnish them
with provisions while they are in camp
and pay the men for their services.
With such provisions she could COM
mand every man to attend the enCamp-
ments, and thus materially helghten the
esprit Hf t0rbs. | want to see a meet
ing of the officers of the Guard, called
and the matter fully discussed also to
have committee, consisting of active,
earnest and enthusiastic members of
the Guard, appointed to go before the
next Legislature and state the needs
of the organization and cndeavor to
secure an appropriation adequate to
sustain it as it should be. This is a
matter which | consider of paramount
importance and | hope to see a meet
ing called and the matter thoroughly
discussed. The men need encourage
mcnt from the State and must have
it in order to have an efficient State
Guard
They are to be commended for their
cheerful obedience to orders when they
receive no remuneration for their ser
vices.
1t is no easy task to keep up good
military organization in North Caro-
lima, tor besides having only 1 meagre
appropriation from the State the officers
find it very difficult to set the men to
attend the drills regularly, because
their employers oitentimes are unap-
preciative, unpatriotic and shortsighted
and will not allow them to attend the
drills. Can it be expected that we
are 20 have efficient organizations with
such things 10 contend with? Would
1t not be wise to call meeting of the
officers and have the matter discussed

A Eaet Of Natural lIislory.


One of the pet squirrels at the Cook
house escaped today and was romp-
ing in the shrubbery. Landlord
Anderson was out trying to catch
his four-footed boarder.
"Will he bite if | should grab
him?"
No one in the crowd that gathered
seemed to know.
Just then the real estate rustler OF
the Salem Land company came up.
He appeared posted on squirrels
and explained.
"a squirrel will never bite If you
catch him right. He will only
Scratch" he said.
Landlord Anderson thought II
being pet, certainly this must be
so. But he has found out different.
He grabbed the squirrel and got bit
clear through the finger, and has a
very bad hand as S result.
He now swears Caldwell knew II
all the time and that the whole
crowd were In it. He declares ht
might have known enough not tC
take a real estate mans word about
anything raised in Oregon.

UNIVERSITY NOTES.

Miss Spencer, of Coos Bay, and
G.. H. BDuce, of Turner, were at
chapel during the week, and Rev.
]. H. Roork led in the exercises
Thursday.
The first review of the year begins
Monday, and Friday will be the
semi-term examinations.
The daily records show that no
serious break occurred in the wol k
of the students on account of the
fire.
Prof. Starr has his laboratory room
partially refitted and eau do no
more until the roof is on.
That roof-the lack of it caused
all the rooms to get IA little wet hy
the bard rain. The contract is not
vet let but will be Immediately.
That the fair weather may continue
we will ever pray.
Prof. Nj. Cunningham went to
Portland Friday on special business.
A reading room with leading
weeklies, monthlies, etc., has been
arranged in the chapel until the
library is refitted.
The young ladies outnumber the
young gentlemen, a thing rare in
our history. And said young gen
tlemen must burn 5. o. Co.'s oil or
the Young ladies will excel in schol-
arship.
The first semi-term rhetorlcals
will occur Thursday, in the respect
i've session rooms for all below the
third year. The third year and col
lege students will have two essays
and two recitaions during the year,
to be delivered in chapel, one each
dIy. These productions must con-
tain not less than 500 nor more than
800 words. This work in chapel
will add much 10 that exercise.
The faculty made the first of the
weekly visits to the rooms of the
students last Saturday. The young
ladies of the woman's college are
commended. These visits will occur
ut 80 O'Clock every Saturday aud
every student is expected to be in

chief of the Spokanes. On Friday
they were joined by some fourteen
Indians from the Umatillas; these
latter executed that evening war
and ghost dances in the music hall.
The different dances were given in

that the Umatillas are noted for the

A Gentleman Defined.

Politeness and the pretension to the
character of a gentleman have refer
ence almost entirely to the reciprocal
manifestation of good will and good
opinion toward each other in casual 80
ciety. The character of gentleman
may be explained thus; A blackguard
is a fellow who does not care whom he
offends; a clown or boor is block.
head who does not know when he
offends; gentleman is one who under
stands and shows every mark of defer
ence to the claims of self love In Others

An Artificial Stone.

A new artificial stone is receiving
some attention from architects and
builders abroad 1t is a compound,
partly chemical and partly mechanical,
of iron, sulphur and silicon, with more
or less. foreign matter, the normal color
being dark slate, varying somewhat
with the manner in which it is dressed,
but capable of being modified in de-
gree by the introduction of pigment,
thus rendering practicable limitations
of various colored brick and sand
stones. 1t is about the hardness of or
binary blue stone and can be worked
by the usual stonecutting tools, turned
in lathe or planed.
The tensile strength is from $50 to
1900 pounds per square inch, and un
der compression endured from 5000 tC
I2,O00 pounds. Its specific gravity Il
about 90, and it melts at about 30C
degs. very slowly. No deterioration
occurs under exposure to the weather
and as the material can be melted and
nodded it is applicable to great vari
ETY. of uses to which stone is not adapt
ed, and particularly in the case of large
castings, such as pipes for sewage, etc.
Architectural forms of almost any
description can be very conveniently
made from it in position, If needed,
and for culverts and bridge founda-
tions, the perfect smoothness of which
the surface is so susceptible, is advan
tageous in lessening friction. New
