The New Deparfmenss Of the


The Executive Committee of the
University Board is in session to-
day for the purpose Of organizing the
new departments Of Agriculture and
the Mechanic Arts, and providing
for the erection ofnew buildings and
finishing the one already begun.
The Armory and Gymnasium has
been standing withouta roof all sea-
son and the inquisitive observer is
fairly busting" to know ''why this
is thus" We believe this new
structure is designed to furnish a
new public hall for commencement
occasions, and basement for drill
purposes and gymnasium.
The gymnasium feature is very
important one and has been toe
long.neglected. II is matter of com.
mon observation to those living about
the University that young mer
break down and go home every yeal
either temporarily or permanently
injured in health, from want of sys
tematic exercise and instruction in
the laws of health. No first class
institution in this day Of the WORLD
ignores the physical training Of stu
dents while undergoing the process
of education. Physical discipline
is made part of the prescribed
course and as much a requisite
for degree as is mathematics Oh
English. The professor Of physica
culture now occupies as important (
place in the college curriculum al
the professor of mental philosophy
This is as it should be. OF wha

man with body full of disease
And it is the rule-not the exception
that the most diligent and prom
Using student will suffer in physica
health If not brought under prope
drill by the authorities of the insti
tuition. A young boy general,
knows and cares as little about hi
physical health as a colt on tn
farm. He learns only after it is to-
late, that physical culture is a neces
sary part of his education. The tim
is very near at hand when an educa

The Question of Drainage

If competent engineer should
plan system of drainage and lay
it down in detail on a map, with ac-
curate estimates for each part, and
the Town Council should adopt it
we could then proceed to work il
out gradually as the public revenue
would admit.
There are some parts of the town
that are in an unsanitary condition
for want of proper drainage. There
are some houses building and others
already built which are to be provid-
ed with the modern conyeniences OF
bath rooms and water closets
There is nothing for these people to
do but to drain out into the streets
and that is usually regarded as the
business of the town.
1t will be great drawback to
the town if the new dwellings going
up cannot be furnished with mod
ern conveniences, and if all others
must continue in the Anticipated
style of our forefathers, and their in
mates be compelled to battle in a
wash bowl and throw their slops in
the back yard.
AS the population becomes more
dense and the houses are built closer
together sanitary consideration alone
will compel some better provision for
drainage-or rather it will compel
drainage, for, at present, we have
none, not even adequate surface drain
age.
We think, therefore, that the sug-
gestion we make is the best and most
practicable solution of the question.
If there were a complete system
laid down on map, which had been
adopted by the authorities, any part
of it could be built as necessity re-
quired. There are some portions
which citizens would undertake at
once for the town and accept credit
on their tax-bills for the money adj
vanced. Indeed there are some who
are suffering so much for proper
drainage that they feel it to be a
present necessity to have it in some
way; and it is not just to these per-
sons to oblige them to put down
sewerage for themselves and then
tax them for sewerage put down at
public cost for their more indifferent
neighbors.
1t is entirely practicable for the
town to begin this work now, and
carry it on to completion as necessity
requires; always working towards a
uniform and complete system which
should be laid out in advance.
There is nothing to be gained in
postponing it, and if it is not begun,
there is nothing for householders to
do but to run their pipes to the street
curb and let the town take care of
the output.
But while discussing sewerage we
desire once more to emphasize the
necessity of better surface drains.
Pavements are being laid with great
industry and much haste and the
side drains are being Systematically
neglected, filled up, or built SO high
that the water would have to run up
hill to get into them, as if surface
drainage were secondary matter
or of no Importance at all. Never
theless it is the greatest need of this
town.

1t was Miss Elvira's wish that Gilbert
should depart on his mission without the
knowledge Of the rest of the world at
Thorne Hill; therefore she herself took
him his ''pass' in the dark of the even
ing, stealing out Of the house with q
heavy covered basket, under the weight
Of which she could hardly stagger.
''rve brought you your pass, Gilbert"
she painted; "and some provisions. You
are to return tomorrow and bring word,
you know. Be sure you put some pro-
vender in the cart for the OK" That one
Of the Thorne Hill oxen should be fed
from the Furnival corn crib was ignom-
my not to be endured.
II gwan do DAFT" old Gilbert assured
her. He held the same views that Miss
Elvira held in regard to the feeding of
the Thorne Hill oxen; and furthermore,
he thought, sis gwan resk old Brandy
on mouldy nubbins?'
"And, Gilbert" said Miss Elvira, COM
ing back after she had started away, as
il what she had to say was an after
thought and not deliberately prcmedi-
tated design. 'if Nicholas should take a
fancy to-anything i'm the basket, you
needn't bring back the jars"
"Yes, ma'am," said old Gilbert, with
stolid gravity; but he doubled over with
q smothered chuckle when Miss Elvira
was gone. sis she clean plum furgot

gwan fetch dat basket; but l gwan haul

Now Missy, hidden in the clump of
Palma Christi that ornamented the front
OF old Gilbert's garden, had heard tho
whole of the conference between these
two. When it was concluded she crept
out and hurried to the house, over the
garden fence, fired with the wild resolve
to run away with old Gilbert and join
her brother. She made up small bun
Gle of her clothing and hid 1t under the
wardrobe, and when she went down to
tea she secreted q biscuit by way OF pro-
vision for her breakfast. Her next idea
was to lie awake all night in order to rise

Diabetes, Bright's disease, gravel and other
complaints of the urinary organs are not or
dinarily cured in severe cases, but they may
be averted by timely medication. A useful
stimulant of the urinary glands has ever
been found in Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
a medicine which not only affords the re-
quisite stimulus when they become inactive,
but increase their vigor and secretive power.
BY increasing the activity of the kidneys
and bladder this medicine has the additional
effect of expelling from the blood impurities
which it is the peculiar Office of these organs
to eliminate and pass of. The Bitters Is
also a purifier and strengthener of the bow

matchless remedy for billiousness, fever and
ague. 1t counterscts tendency to prema-
ture decay, and sustains and comforts the
