and pulled up with confidence. In a few
brief moons his weight had gone down to

me on the first day hat he would never 90
back to his home in Maine except as a dis

phrase it just that way, but his meaning
was obvious. He had reached a great CEN
tire of culture and literature. He felt great
forces steaming within him. n they were
bound to drive him head first through all
obstacles. Fame beclsoned him, and he
was willing to shout " Let her 60, Gala

He had drifted into New York, as SO many
young men do. with q general notion of get
ting rich and no particular idea about it
except that the sooner his friends and enc
mics at home especially the latter) were
made aware OF his distinguished success
the better he should feel about it. His oap-
ital consisted Of $13 and a college ed uca-
ton. He mad no fear of hard work because
he didn't know what it was.
Perhaps / should have included in my
schedule Of his assets a letter OF introduce
ton to myself. The writer Of this valuable
document was a man whom l had forgiven
and forgotten. The sight of his handwrit-
ing upon the envelope recalled his exist
ence to mo and awakened q faint hope
that he might have experienced a change
of heart, and have thus been led to return
the ten dollars he borrowed of me in the
fall of 1881. But no; he wrote in a cheerful
vein, and the shadow of remorse did not
darken the page. 1t gave him great pleas
ure to introduce his young friend, Thomas
Brown. "He'sa thoroughly good fellow
the letter went on. "He deserves everything
you can DO for him. Treat him just as you
would me-"
l glanced up at Brown and wondered
how lie would look if he realized that his
friend had requested me to kick him down
stairs.
"He's been highly educated said the
letter; II should think you ought to get
him the editorship of something. 1t would
be right in his line, for he has already
shown great literary ability"
Granting this to be true there could be no
doubt that Thomas was distinctly superior
to most of The editors I knew. but l could

savory soup compounded by his cook, Teze-

the king. "Nathless''-everybody said
"nathless" in those days--''we bestow upon
you the manor of Abingdon"

Gold That Goes Into Molars,

A dentist in good practice uses $1,000
worth of gold in n year in filling teeth.
Some prepare their own gold, getting it
from a United States mint, and then maxi
ing it chemically pure. Others get it from
tain it from dental supply firms. This
gold is put in eight-ounce packages, packed
in small glass walls, each containing n
fraction of an ounce. The cylindrical
pieces of gold in it are gold foil of Il very
soft and sponey kind. When hammered
into a hollow tooth one of these cylinders
will not take up o~ne-twentieth of the space
it occupied in the vial. There are several
dontal supply factories in the country.
The largest is on Staten Island, and turns
$780, 900 in gold for dental purposes
every year.

Report of the Committee on Cap and

 ganized on the Same Plan as Har-
 vard,s-Belief Prevalent at Har-
 yard That the Football Signals
 Were Betrayed to Yale-CaPtaiR
 TraGord's Courteous Letter in Re-
 gard to Such Reports.
 The committee on the cap and gown re- port as follows: There are 132 in the class who are in favor of having the cap and gown for the rest of the year, few more in favor of them in the spring, and wearing them at commencement. As the matter stands the committee will do nothing further until spring.
 There is some talk of starting "Camera Club" at Yale. Such organizations exist and are great success at Harvard, Brown, Princeton and several other of the col leges and it would undoubtedly be @ suc- cess at Yale. The club would include all members of the college who are actively interested in photography. The club would probably consist of active members, that is mem bers possessing cameras, and association
 prizes are offered in other camera clubs for the best specimens of the various kinds of photographs, such as instantaneous, flash light, etc., and the whole object and aim of club of this kind is to promote the study and progress of photography throughout the college in which it exists. Captain Traford'sss letter, which ap-
 peared in the Harvard Crimson of Decem- Der 9, and which formally denied that the Harvard football management believed
 that the Yale graduates who are taking course in the Harvard law school, be-
 trayed the Harvard football signals to their alma mater, is a revela- tion to Yale men. That such a report should gain credence for moment ! as Harvard can only be attributed to the 1 natural bitterness felt over @ defeat. The 1 Yale football management emphatically l deny any such stories and MT. Trafford' s letter is courteous disavowal of the belief of the Harvard management of any such trickery on Yale's part.
