A western paper describes the way
IN which a crop Of buckwheat is used
as a mulch which appears to answer
well where land is cheap, and possibly
In other places An orchard Of quito
young trees for timber was set on
clean, we.l-prepared and well pulver-
ized land, and the ground was then
Gown quite thick with buclwheat.
This grew ana was left uncut and pro-
tected the ground as a mulch through
the following winter, and during the
freezing and thawIng Of spring. An
other crop was allowed to grow, and
was left on the ground as before. The
buckwheat mulch smothered the weeds,
and reduced the labor OF cultivation.
The superiority OF buckwheat for this
purpose deserves notice, the straw be-
ing less llbrouz than many other kinds
OF straw and routing down more
readily while according to analysis,
1t contains more phosphoric acid and
potash, an advantage which is not al
ways known or borne In mud when
used as an enriching crop.

Meaning a Little.

Meaning a Little.
People might select names for their
children with a better discretion if
they We're acquainted with the very
expressive meanings borne by many OF
the personal designations OF the Ian
guage, said linguistic professor to a
Washington Star reporter. Some OF
them have rather funny signilcations
For example, Julia means messy
bearded, Ursula is female bear.
Priscilla is a little ancient, and Cecil
is 'dimsightod,' Barbara signifies for
eign, Abel is vanity Bernard is a
bears heart and Caleb is "a dog.
Daniel is Judgment OF God. and RAJ
phael is medicine Of God.
Ever so man. English names have
very beautiful meanings. Beatrice is
making happy, Letitia is 10Y Mabel
is my fair, Selma is q nightingale,
Susan is lilly, Sarah is lady. Re-
becca is faithful and Lydia is well
of water. What is prettier than Mar
garet which signifies pearl. or than
Amelia for sincere, or than Sophia
for wisdom or than Katharine for
pure or than Adeline for a prin-
cessP" Bertha is bright Charlotte is
all noble, Cornelia is harmonious,
Caroline is noble spirited Harriet is
sweet perfume and Jane Is Willow.
Again, Henrietta is properly trans
lated, a star, Judith is praising,' Je-
NINA is sweet song Isabella is fair
Eliza Agatha is good, Felicia is
happy Lucy is constant Muriel is
myrrh' and even understanding
Bridget is shining bright
IF these are good names for sisters,
sweethearts, wives and mothers
equally appropriate for fathers, sons
and brothers are Nicholas, which
means victorious, David for beloved,
Hugh for thought, Horatio for
worthy, James for superior, Thorn
as for a lion Phillip is warliko,
Robert is famous, Richard is power
full, Eustace is firm Ralph is help,
Charles is man, Matthew lisa gift
Herbert is bright mind and Hilary is
cheerful William stands for helm
OF the will, Patrick for a 'noblema an,
Felix for happy Oliver for an olive
and Isaac for daughter

is worth while to look out for the

THE NEW UNIVERSITY.
Being Free From Tradition Ie Is I'm
trammeled In It's Methods.

trammeled In It's Methods.
The new university can cut itself
loose from the time worn English col
lege curriculum and its much-patched
American equivalent with its system
OF favored studies and false incentives.
1t can give TO each line Of work the
time and freedom 1t needS thus leav-
ing all questions OF the relative value
OF studies to be- settled by each studer.
for himself The new school can
treat its students as men, and not as
children. The nursery should
cease where the university begins, and
the university student should not do
his work in the child's fear Of the
rod behind the mirror" The new
school can rest its impulse ior work
on the desire for knowledge, the eter-
nal hunger and thirst which only the
student Knows the only basis on
which scholarship can rest, Marks
honors, prizes, degrees even, are iu-
centiyes which belong to the nursery
days They date from the time when
the youth Of the aristocracy must be
coaxed or driven to n resemblance OF
culture. As l have elsewhere urged,
all these things are forms and forms
only and the substance Of our higher
education is fast outgrowing them.
College marks, college honors, college
courses, college degrees, the college
itself as distinguished from the uniyer-
atty on the one hand and the public
school on the other-al these belong
with the college cap and gown and
tho wreath OF laurel berries to jae
babyhood of culture. They are part
OF our inheritance from the past from
the time when scholarship was not
manhood. when the life Of the student
had no relation to the Life OF the world.

Errors In Biographies.

The publishers CT school maps, ~
says a teacher IN the St Louis Globe
Democrat ARE responsible for more
errors than any other class Of people
on the planet They use sometimes
half a dozen different scales Of sizes
in a single book and it is impossible
for children to get a correct idea Of
the relative sizes OF different countries
because of their lack of uniformity in
the scale. In an atlas for school use
all the maps should be on the same
scale, otherwise most Incorrect ideas
will be formed. | recently asked a
bright boy who had just finished the
study OF geography and laid il by be-
cause he knew all about it. how large
he supposed Arabia was He reflected
a moment, and then, with some con-
fidence, replied that Arabia was about
the size of Massachusetts, l suggest
ed tho possibility o. his being mis-
taken when he got his atlas and show
cd me that Arabia and Massachusetts
were the same size, that is, on the
map. He opened his eyes when l ex-
planned to him the mysteries of the
scale, and that instead Of being a mere
speck Arabia was as long as from ST.
Paul to New Orleans as wide as from
St Louis to New York and contained
more than one-third as many square
miles as the Urited States. He had
been misled by tie maps, as his teach
err probably had also, and thousands Of
other people besides 4 uniform scale
would prevent many false ideas. and If
a national series OF textbooks is ever
adopted the aliases should have that
feature prominent

STANDARD SILVER DOLLARS

The Question of Their Further Coinage
to lie Discussed.
WASHINGTON, June 24.-It is stated on the
best authority that the only question to be
considered by the cabinet at the Friday
meeting is whether the coinage of standard
silver dollars shall continue after the first
proximo, and data on that sub
lect is now being prepared at
the treasury department.. great
many communications on this subject h ave
been received, large majority of which
favor the proposition. The only ones 40
far opposing it are certain New York bank
ers. The prevailing sentiment with leading
treasury officials is that the proposition
will be adopted. 1t is understood
the question of the extension of the Az
per cent. loan will be disposed of next
month. Offers SO far received in response
to Secretary Fosters suggestions for extern
sion represent only about 81, 900, 900 of the
honds. prominent treasury official said
to-day, that there is not the least doubt of
the governments ability to meet an its
obligations during the coming fiscal year.

ROCK MOUNTAIN LOCUSTS.
Several Square Miles of Them in Nortl

Several Square Miles of Them in North
Dakota.
FARGO, N. D., June 24.-Prof. Waldron,
of the state agricultural college faculty.
who was dispatched to Orr, Grand Forks
county. Friday last upon receipt of lnfor-
nation that iocusts were Matching out in
great quantities in that vicinity, returned
with samples of hoppers, and they are pro-
nounced genuine Rocky mountain locusts
These locusts visited portions of Manitoba
last season and it is thought few must
have drifted across the line into North Da-
kota and deposited eggs. thorough ex-
animation was made by state officials and
hoppers were located in two places. near Orr
Grand Forks county. and near the line of
the Great Northern IN the southern part of
Walsh county. Prof Waldron reports that
the hoppers are as yet wingless and prac
tically harmless for the time being, and if
they can be destroyed immediately little
damage can be done. He states that in one
place they cover the ground for over a mile
in length and from one to five rods wide,
and from an inch to n foot in depth.
deep ditch has been made around there to
prevent their escape until they can be
trapped and destroyed. Prof. Wnldron
will return to superintend tho work of de-
struction, which will probably be by trap
ping and burning. Gov. Burke was seen
by Prof. Stockbridge and gave instructions
to spare neither money nor expense in the
of the locusts at once. The
are confident this can be done
before any damage can be done to crops.

PRINTING THE MONEY.
A New York Firm Turning Out 4I.,OOO,-
900 for IbaimnCeda,

a new York Firm Turning Ont &1@,OOO,-
900 for Hai,nnceda.
New YoRK, June N.--The American Bank
Note company is engaged in printing $l2,-
OoO.OoO worth Of paper money, after the
style of the American ''greenbacks." for
President Balmsceda, OF Chill. It WAS
some time ago that confidential agent OF
Balmnceda gave this contract to the Amer
lean Bank Note company, and the job is
almost completed now. One condition in
sisted upon by tho agent WAS absolute se-
crecy. and, as far as known, the contract
ing party has kept its promise not to make
tue matter public. The fat money is being
made in bills of the denomination of one.
tive and ten respectively. 1t was expected
that the first installment of $4,000
worth of this money would have been
shipped on the Pacific Mail steamer Colon.
but when the vessel sailed yesterday at
noon the big tin boxes were not quito
ready. However, by tho time the next Pa
cl1c Mail steamer is ready to sail the ship
ment will be made.
The congressional factions representa-
tlves here have. it is alleged. been watching
the preparation of Balmaceda's millions of
pesos and have laid their plans to capture
them before the willy president can get his
hands upon the crisp bills.
The conRressionists believe that If they
can prevent the Chilian government from
receiving the money the power Of Balmace-
da will be SO weakened that his downfall
will be mere matter of a few weeks. To
this end, it is said, parties of determined
men have been organized to gain possession
OF the entire issue of ''greenbacks."
