when Wan Appears a Fool.

How foolish man appears when he
is arguing with IA railroad company
about somebhing that cannot be helped.
For instance he has purchased ticket
to, say New York. He intends to travel
at night comfortably i'll IA lower berth
on a Pullman palace sleeping car He
steps jauntily up to the window of the
Pullman Office and says, in an offhand
way, Give me lower berth on the 7:1J
for New York, as he lays down a five
dollar bill. Haven't berth left, sir .
What" 1t is impossible to describe
the awful emphasis with which this
monosyllable is Numbered forth, but we
have all heard it and know how il
sounds.
Then follows a long TRADE by the
traveller. who cannot understand why
some one is not to be turned out of the
berth he has paid for to make room for
the late conner; why there are not more
berths in a car; why there are not more
sleepers on the train, and, above ALL
why the imperturbable clerk in the
ticket office does not hold conference
on the instant with the superintendent
Of the Pittsburg division Of the railroad
to fix it 50 that lie cam get berth
There are experiences Of this kind fol-
the clerks every day, especially during
the busy season. This is the reason they
are not disturbed each time the inevi
table too-late man comes foaming up to
the window. And then the too-late man
who will not accept the inevitable
always looks such fool. Pittsburg

The highest human intelligence ana
the best human wisdom are those which
can interpret life amght and find the real
gain that every loss involves. The diff
ference between men consists far more
in the different constructions which they
put upon the events Of life than in the
events themselves. When u storm arises
we look ahead for the clearer air and
the brighter sky that viii follow; and no
who traces the same law in the storms
Of life has the clearest and truest mental
vision Where we fail to trace this law,
however, we shall do well to trust to it.
Reason herself affords the ample sup
port for the faith that ''all things work
together for good" whether we can dis
Germ the process or not. No loss is ire
trievable; and if we have vital belief
that higher gain may be won from it
we have taken the first and most i'm
portant step in success, in happiness and
in character. New York Ledger.

Their supply OF broom corn is exhausted

BrOOms are now whOlesaling from 30 to

Odd Bita Of Life.

Whether gallantry is at all times
good thing to display in public is
question that was debated mentally
by whole carful of people in Broad
way the other night, says the New
York Times, The car was bound
down town, and at Fourteenth street
1t was comfortably filled. 1t was
nearly II o'clock and, the outpouring
crowd from the Star Theater supplied
enough more passengers to pack the
car from door to door. Three or four
were seated, and half a dozen women,
all young, viyacious and apparently
robust, were standing. Everybody
was good-natured, and as the car
Eowled along there was not the slight
est manifestation Of discomfort. But
there was one very gallant young man
who could not let well enough alone.

women, whose skirts almost concealed

make another bow, knocked a stout
woman with a bundle off her balance.
The woman fell into the lap of an Old
gentleman, and the bundle landed
among the feathers and ribbons of a
''lOve of IA bonnet" at the other end
Of the car. The startled old gentle
man, in trying to assist the stout wo-
man to her feet, lost his silk hat,
which. i'm its downward course, swept
IA pair of opera-glasscs from the lap of
woman who sat next to him. Mean
while the gallant young man was try
ing to apologize to the stout woman.
He stumbled over the feet of one
passenger, knocked a woman's hat
awry, and, by the sudden stopping of
! the car, inyoluntarily embraced the
maiden to whom he had offered his
seat. There were muttered signs OF
discomfort, and the embarrassed gal

Keeping the head perfectly clean is
a great aid to health. A distin-
guished physician who has spent much
of his time at quarantine said that a
person whose head was thoroughly
washed every day rarely ever took
contagious diseases, but when the hair
was allowed to become dirty and
matted it was hardly possible to
escape infection. Many persons find
speedy relief for nervous headache by
washing the head thoroughly in weak
soda water. We have known cases
almost wholly cured in ten minutes
by this simple remedy. A friend
flnds it to the greatest relief IN case
of 'srose cold" the cold symptoms en-
tirely leaving the eyes after the first
washing OF the hair. The head should
be thoroughly dried afterwards, and
drafts OF air should be avoided for a
little while. Salem Gazette.

THE COLLEGE WORK.
Everything Progressing Finely ut the
state A A2rtcultural College.


state A ASricultural College.
The attendance at tho Agricultural
College at Brookings this term is very
satisfactory. All OF the older students
who have been teaching through the
long winter vacation have returned and
the actual enrolment is EOS, number
which has not been reached since the
general depression IN money matters
set in. This is another eviJencc Of the
arrival of a prosperous era in our State.
OF this number l2s are in the regular
college classes, distributed as follows:
Seventeen seniors, twenty.three jun
iOrs. thirty-five sophomores, and fifty
three freshmen. Over 60 per cent. Of
these have taught school more or less,
and, as might be expected OF them, they
are industrious and orderly when they
become students.
One of the departments is still va
cant, and another Is in the hands OF an
assistant, both awaiting the joint action
of the two boards to I'll the vacancies.
Otherwise the affairs of the college
never were in more prosperous and
hopeful condition.
Connected with the college Is the nu.
cleus of good working library, which
Is beginning to be an important factor
in the line Of study and research. There
are 2,756 bound volumes and about
5000 pamphlets. The latter are largely
experiment station bulletins from the
fifty or more stations in the United
States, and treat OF every subject OF
experimentation. The books and PAM
phlets are arranged according TO the
decimal or Dewey system, which affords
every facility for intelligent research.
The cOmmodious reading room supplied
with newspapers and the most impor-
tant periodicals Of the day, is one OF the
busiest places about the college.
Athletic sports are not neglected, and
preparations are being made to enter
tain the athletes and orators OF the
other colleges in the State In May.
The college will celebrate ArbOr Day
with appropriate exercises and will add
to its already plentiful stock OF growing
