TIE idea Of Yale authorities in
admitting women to postgraduate

on desire to let the young gentle

Jesus, the name high over all,
In heaven, or earth, or sky.
To the repenting soul to the exhausted in
valid. to the Sunday school girl, 70 the snow
white octogenarian it is beautiful. The
aged man comes In from long walk, and he
tremulously opens the door OF his home, and
he hangs his hat on the old nail, and he puts
his cane in the usual place, and he lies on his
couch, and he says to his children and his
grandchildren, MY dears, am going away
from you" And they say, Why, where
are you going, grandfather" "Oh.' he says
II am going to Jesus" and so the old man
faints away into heaven.
And the little child comes in from play
and she filings herself in your lap, and she
saws. Mamma, I'm 40 sick, Pm so very
sick;n and you put her to bed, and the fever
Is worse and worse. and some midnight,
while you are shaking up the pillow and CIV
ing the medicine, she looks up in your face
and says, Mamma, I'm going away from
YOU" You say. "WhY. where are you go
ing. nv darling% Aud she says, II am 60
ing to Jesus" And the red cheek that you
take to be the marx of the fever turns out
to be only the carnation bloom Of heaven.
Oh, was it not beautiful when Little
child heard that her playmate was dying,
and she went to the house, and she clambered
"Where are you going to9' and the dying
girl said, 'pm going to Jesus" Then said
the little girl that was we'll as she bent over
to give the parting kiss to her dying play
1nate, "Well, then, if you are going 70 Jesus.
give my love to Him" It is a beautiful
name, whether on the lips Of childhood or
on the lips Of the old man When my father
was dying the village minister said to him.
quoting over his pillow this passage, This
Is faithful saying and worthy Of all ac-
ceptation-that Christ Jesus came into the
world to save sinners "and there he stopped.
Then my father finished the quotation by
saying. 'of whom am chief"
But remark again, in regard to this
name Of Christ, that 1t is q mighty name.

Challenging a Critical Journnllas.

NialACHisipE " tsitlctti ObhFHhttabs
 A very slight and polite criticism in- dulged in at the expense of a cavalry of- ficer who was riding about week ago at the horse show has assumed the pro- portions of 6 serious event. The officer in question sent letter to the writer saying that he could understand the criticising the horsemauship of jockeys and grooms, but that he had no business to pass any remarks on that of gentle men or officers" He forbade the jour nalist to mention his name, and wound up by adding that his sole right was that of the stronger and that he would prove it if the offense were repeated. The journalist in a.second paragraph re- marked that he did not think he had acted improperly in criticising the per formances of horsemen who rode in public place to which admission was ob- tained by payment, and, referring to the letter, said he could not believe that it had been penned by a French officer, and was convinced that it was forgery.
 Thereupon the cavalry officer sent two of his friends to the journalist with a hostile message, and in the duel that followed he wounded him in the arm. He thus proved that he was "Le plus fort" But the affair is creating great sensation, the prevailing opinion being that the argument employed by the off cer was, to say the least, utterly illogi- cal-in fact, this unlucky episode has brought once more on the tapis the vexed question of the expediency of military men displaying their prowess at races and horse shows.-Paris Cor.

The Viking Ship.

Liberal subscriptions have been ms de by the people of Norway toward the fund for building and sending Q Viking ship across to be exhibited at the Worl Is fair. It is intended to row and sail the vessel the entire distance. Not less than thirty rowers will be required to man the ship. It is intended, however, as far as possible to accept the services of none but educated men, who may be able to take part in the compilation of an ac- count of the voyage. Another literary project in connection with the interest ing experiment is the issue of a pamphlet on the Norwegian Viking ship and the discovery, in A. D, 1000, by the Viking Jeff the Fortunate, of Vinland, the chief settlement of the ancient Norsemen in America, territory comprising the present states of Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
 The Viking ship is described as a me morial of the days in which Jeff EIilis- son was the first European to set his foot on American soil The pamphlet on the Viking ship will also contain a It will be published both in Europe and America immediately after the ship starts. It is hoped that the proceeds of the national subscription and of the sales of tho two books mentioned above will leave q surplus, which will be devoted to home for aged Norwegian sailors similar to the well known Sailors Snug Harbor in New York.

CeNef, or the "i'' H' "' tNi''N-'' Wesleyan university, Delaware, O., re- ceiving the second honor.
 Miss Nelson represented De Pauw university directly, Greencastle being her home, and the state generally and the students of De PGuw manifested their pride and joy with cannon, bells, songs and cheers in the most enthusiastic manner. She is a tall and graceful lady of nineteen, with short hair, pleas ing, intellectual face, soft and winning voice and an earnestness in delivery that carries with it Q convincing impression of her sincerity.
 Her theme was industrial Freedom" and her criticisms on all forms of pater- nalism, though rather sharp and aimed squarely at such organizations as the Knights of Labor and Farmers Alliance, and indirectly at protection and other forms of government interference, was received with great applause. Her main objection to such policies was that they lessened the demand for and consequent ly hindered the development of self reliance and individual forethought Mir. Geyer spoke immediately after Miss Nelson, and was evidently handi- capped from the start, but he dealt with "The Optimism of History" so forcibly as to win honors.
