increased attendance. Nothing could
be more natural. The untiring en-
ergy of Col. A. F. Fleet, the super
intendent, than whom no better man
for his position could be found, is
sure to bring to his institution phe-
nomenal success.
The work of the scholastic year of
the Academy just closed has given
unbounded satisfaction and has been
attended with eommendable conduct
on the part of the cadets. Their study
has been close, the discipline thor
ough and the grades high. The moral
training here of the student is every
thing that could be desired, which
cannot be said of all military schools.
Every scholar loved and honored
his preceptor and last night at the
close of the exercises the farewells
spoken by Col. Fleet and his officers
to the departing young men were
with sadness of heart. Many of the
students, however, will be with us
again next year, when hundreds of
new faces will be gladly welcomed to
the West Point of the West.
THE GRADUATING EXERCISES.
The curtain of the Ferris Grand
Opera House went up on the gradu-
ating exercises of the Missouri Mill
tary Academy Monday evening at a
few minutes after s O'Clock, when
another grand audience was present.
When Treloar's orchestra had in
geniously rendered a harmonious
selection Rev. Middleton made a
fervent prayer, in~vocating Gods
blessing upon the graduates and the
assemblage.
Col. A. f. Fleet, whose individu-
atty stands out in its Incompatible
blending of masterfulness and ten
derness of strength and mildness,
appeared before the footlights and
made the announcement that the
faculty had selected two out OF the
seven graduates to deliver their es-
saws before the audience and the
other five had been read be-
fore the faculty. Cadet w. III,
Dulany, of Hannibal, was then in.
trodueed and in his essay on "Oul
Railroads." he said:
Among the many improvements
which have caused the Nineteenth
Century to be recognized as thu

some queer Misunderstanding and lu-

he stepped into corner drug store and
asked the question he had put to the po-
hceman.
"Mr. j lives on Geety street."
"Where is that placer
"Just eleven blocks north of here.n
A Wells street car soon covered the
eleven blocks and Goethe street was
reached. After the interview had been

made of various persons in regard to the

dozen different pronunciations. Chi

1t is matter Of common observation
that Hebrews as a rule are more than
ordinarily devoted to their families, and
their home life is beautiful in many
ways. As everything has a cause, the
most plausible one in this regard appears
TO me TO be the severe prosecutions to
which that race has been subjected for
centuries, compelling clannishness and
affording them their greatest happiness
at home. Persistent influences acting
through numberless generations would
surely institute a racial popularity such
as this.--S. V. Clevenger in Science.

Mr.. Gunther, in his work on "The
Study Of Fishes" states that the only
species Of fish in which the mother takes
any care Of her offspring are Of the genera
Aspredo and Solenostoma. But l have
seen the common catfish guarding her
young in the most devoted manner; ii
may, however, have been the male, bat
don't believe it. IT was ia July, 1882,
and | was on the west shore of Long
lake, in the great northern wilderness OF
New York state. The catfish had got
her young (dfty or sixty in the school
should say into little bay so shallow
that her enemies could not swim in it.
The young catfishes were very small in
deed and looked like little tadpoles.
Whenever anyone Of the little fellows
ventured into deepish place he was
sure to be seized by some large fish, the
large fish seemed to be perch and there
were half dozen OF so Of them.
Every perch that came near was at
tackled by the mother fish and driven
back several feet or yaris; but when
ever the mother fish turned to 10 back
TO her young one or more of the
perch would bite her. Her caudal fin,
or tail, was torn to pieces. | watched
the battle for some time. The old cat
fish was getting the worst Of 1t, and
when left she was making q brave but
losing fight. One by one her offspring
were picked off, the perch occasionally
rushing into the shallow water close 10
the school OF the young fish. l do not
know whether my observation Is the
only one Of the kind or not.-Exchange.
