A Strangely Impressive Spectacle.

A strangely impressive spectacle is the
forming of the line of graduates that
marches to the commencement dinner
of an old college. First comes the grad

in order of seniority. "Class of 1907
cries the marshal. Perhaps there is no
response. "Class of 1921 Glass of 1922!
Glass of 1921" Presently, as his class is
reached, the Oldest graduate present
steps out, venerable man, perhaps the
sole representative of his year, and takes
his place amid the cheers of the specta-
tors.
Then for dozen or score of classes,
as the marshal calls the year, one or two
or four or five old men walk by arm in
arm, supporting one another's steps.
Then, as the list gets into the forties,
come gray haired men, but vigorous, and
not yet of the lean and slippered period.
And then in larger companies the men

men, and finally boisterous crowd 2OC

To Send a Newspaper Clipping

We find the following editorial para
graph in reference to sending newspaper
clippings in the Tendon Times. Of
course it has no application to similar
postoffice regulations on this side the
water, Oh, no!
Let any one propose to send small newspa-
per cutting, say an inch square, to a friend. A
variety of methods of doing this are open to
him. If he chooses, he can send the whole pa
per for a halfpenny by means of a stamp or
wrapper. Or he can cut out the portion of the
paper in which it is found and send that in a
wrapper. Or he can inclose the paragraph in
an open envelope, and halfpenny stamp will
frank it through the post. One method, how
ever, he must not adopt under pains and PEN
alties, and that unfortunately is the easiest
and simplest of them all. He must not by
means of a little gum af1ix the little cutting to
the back of postcard, for this is contrary TO
"the regulations" and involves the payment C.
an extra penny on delivery.
Should he fail to appreciate the reasonable
ness of this regulation" and ask for an eX-
PLANTATION, the postmaster will reply in cour-
teous terms and send him copy of the ''regu-
lations," showing that he or his correspondent
has been rightly surcharged with double post
age. No explanation is vouchsafed, possibly
for the sufficient reason that none occurs to
the mind of the writer, and indeed it is diff
cult to imagine any justification for SO absurd
rule. 1t seems to belong to the category Of
vexatious and restrictive red tapeism once so
abundant in our postoffice, and apparently so
dear to the official mind. What objection
there can be TO scrap of printed matter being
affixed to the back of a postcard it passes the
wit of q plain man to find out.

The Worlds Wheat,

The wheat statisticians are promis-
ing the farmers higher prices for their
grain next spring. That is poor con-
ISOLATION, however, when the farmer has
between him and then the cold season
with all its rigorous demands in the way
of purchases He will have to sell most
of his grain now, and the promise Of
high prices next spring is rather hollow
sounding to him.
The Hungarian minister of agricul-
ture finds that the worlds wheat cropis
deficient by million bushels compared
with the average for the past 10 years.
The total crop will be about 2,279, 000,-
900 bushels. The countries that import
wheat will need above their home sup
ply 379,000,00O bushels. To meet this
requirement the wheat sellii g countries
have not enough by $50, 600 bushels, &C
cording to tina Hungarian minister's fig
uring. The deficit must be made up by
Indian corn, rye and barley.
Russia has most wheat to spare, her
surplus being not quite 9S,000,000 bush
els. Next comes the United States with
9,518,0 600 bushels to spare, while Hun.
gary is third, with 45,400,C00. The
fourth wheat exporting country is In

The Breathing Cure.

There are two places on this globe
where consumption never makes its
haunt. They are respectively within
the arctic and antarctic circles close
around the north and south poles, These
two spots, however, not being conven-
lent or agreeable as a place of residence
to the majority of mankind, it is neces-
sary to find some other way of relieving
those whose lungs are weak.
Persons who are threatened with con-
sumption and those in whose families
| this disease is hereditary should try the
breathing cure. 1t has really saved the
lives of those who, so far as human in
telligence could perceive, were doomed
to an early grave. 1t consists simply in
taking in all the pure air you can in
long, slow breaths. Of course the suf-
ferer should live outdoors as much as
possible. Air and sunshine scatter con-
sumption microbes. But whether out
doors OF in it will help every one, con-
sumptive or otherwise, to draw in who'll
ly through the nostrils long, deep inha-
lations of the purest air he can get.
Breathe slowly, but tremendously.
A brother and sister who came of a
consumptive family began the breath
ing cure 20 years ago The lady was so
| weak she could scarcely stand and had
already cough when she began taking
in at every inspiration all her poor lungs
would hold of the air which the AL
mighty has bestowed on us so lavishly.
To all intents and purposes her doom
was already sealed. But she persisted
in the slow, deep breaths. She has to-
day no sign Of consumption about her
The brother, who began the habit Of
taking long, deep breaths, is noticeable
anywhere for his strong lungs and well
developed chest.
Even if as matter of good looks you
want to develop a fine, full chest, the
way to do it is to hold your chest up
not allowing it for one moment to sluml
down upon your stomach, and persist il
the practice of inhaling slowly all the
air you can at every breath.
| Fill the upper part of the lungs espe
cially, for this is the part that gets starv
ed of its share of air, and consequently
the part ON which the consumption mi
crobes first fasten. Edwin Checkley, tn,
athlete, says that 10 times minute il

Rapid breathing exhausts the muscle
concerned in the operation.

Adams Stolen Rib,

In one of the many and varied COM
ments ON the creation Of women in the
Talmud, the Emperor Hadrian is intro
duced as conversing with Rabbi CANA
liel ON several religious questions. With
the object of casting ridicule on the
Bible, Hadrian exclaims: "Why, your
God is represented therein as thief!
He surprised Adam in his sleep and
robbed him Of one of his ribs!'
The rabbits daughter, who was pres.
ent, Graves permission to reply to the
emperor. This is granted her. "But
first let me implore thy imperial protec-
ton, puissant sire!' she exclaims. "a
grave outrage has been perpetrated on
our house." "Who has dared to infict
any harm on the abode of friendY'
asked the sovereign.
Under cover of the night an auda-
cious thief broke into our house, took a
silver fagon from our chest and left a
golden one in its stead What a well
come theft cries Hadrian. "Would
that such robbers might visit my palace
every day" And was not the Creator
even such thief as this" archly rejoins
the blushing damsel, who deprived
Adam Of a rib, and in lieu thereof gave
him a loving, lovely brideY'-Chief Rab-
bi Adler in Nineteenth Century.

The Great Yacht Race.

It was in December, 1892, that the
challenge was received from Lord Dun
raven to race for the famous cup which
had been won Al years before from Eng
land by the yacht America and has
never been got back again by any Eng
lish boat. The challenge was accepted
and now the best racing yacht in Eng
land, the Valkyrie, meets the Vigilant,
the best racing yacht in the United
States. These boats are, like race horses,
absolutely of no value except to bet on
and show how fast they can be made to
go. Their quarters are too cramped for
anybody to stow himself away comfort
ably, even for few days outing. But
they each carry sail enough, if it were all
spread out, to cover several city lots,
and we shall find out when the race is
done whether the American or British
way of building racing yachts makes
them go the faster. The Vigilant is of
the favorite Yankee centerboard pattern.
The dimensions of the two boats are
as follows:
valkyrie, length over all, l26; length water
line, $3.50; beam, 20.06; draft, 1876.
Vigilant, length over ALL 124; length water
line, S6.12; beam, 26; draft, IA.
1t will be seen the English cutter has more
length over all and more draft Her bow Is an
improvement on the bow of the Queen Nab
She has the good points of a cutter and center
boarder Her counter measures 30 feet. The
body Of the hull runs aft. The lines are fine
All in all she is very powerful boat.

The airshfp, when it has come to stay,
will have no balloon attachment, it is
conceded. For half a century the in
vention of the sewing machine was de-
layed because men could not get away
from the idea that needles eye had to
be in its head instead of being able to be
placed also in it's point. Perhaps the
notion that a balloon must necessarily
be attached to an airship has kept back
aerial navigation 100 years. The best
opinion now is that the machine must
be constructed so as to sustain itself in
the air and then be propelled by some
motive power, perhaps electricity. One
writer suggests the trolley system, with
the airship catching electricity from a
wire hanging below it and running
along the stretched wire.

Gladstone becomes more and more Of
a terror in his sarcasm and eloquence
the older he grows. His language be-
comes less scholastic and more Anglo
Saxon. An American stump orator
could not be more plain and direct than
he was in the speech in which he chas-
tised the house of lords for its claim
that it had the right to force dissolu-
ton of parliament by obstinately hold
ing out against home rule. The minis
try had the right to recommend disso-
luton of parliament, said Gladstone,
and the house of commons had the right
by its vote to force dissolution. "But,"
continues he, "no such thing has been
recorded at any period of our history as
dissolution brought about by vote of
the house of lords. Such a contention
is gross, a monstrous innovation, an
odious new tangled doctrine, and NO
men are fonder of these doctrines than

THE
Londonderry Sitter.
So. Londonderry, Vermont.
THE
Mr.. Schurz Is Scared.

Apparently Carl Schurz fears the
United States is on the point Of annex
ing Mexico and all the Central and South
American republics and the outlying is
lands, revolutions and all. One judges
this to be the case from his paper on
Manifest Destiny" in Harper's Maya
zine. He begins by supposing that we
annex Cuba, since it is near the Florida
coast, very fertile and menace to our
manifest destiny. Cuba being taken
possession of, what is to hinder annexing
the Haytian islands for the same reason,
and that being done, why should we not
take in Mexico and all the rest of the
Spanish Americans and incorporate
them in our republic?
Then, having already annexed all
these in his mind, Mr.. Schurz goes on to
predict the dire train of evils that would
fellow. No republic ever prospered and
endured long in tropical climate, says
he. The reason is that in warm eli
mate people are too lazy to work stead
lily, being able to supply their bodily
needs without it. The permanency Of
republicanism depends on the being COM
PEELED to work steadily for a living, ac-
cording to the Schurzian logic. Perhaps
it is true
If we annex all South America to us.
we shall have to admit oman equal foot
ing with ourselves in government and
in the various states all the mongrel
population south of us-part negro, part
Spanish, part Indian-and, in Mr..
Schurz's estimation, wholly heather.
What will then become of us? he asks
triumphantly. The Lord knows. We
ourselves wouldn't like to live to see it.
But who wants the Spanish American
republics to become part of this Unioni
Did Mr.. Schurz ever hear any manifest
destiny" American hint that he han
kered to take to his bosom as man and
brother any of the citizens named? 1t is
bad enough to be forced thus to take
some that we have among us already,
and the average American will not do ii
except at election time.
At the close of Carls paper we find
the real motive. Its sting is in the tail,
SO to speak. He has fired off all these
heavy guns against the proposed annexa'
ton Of poor little Hawaii. He will in
deed permit Canada to come in and bt
one of us if she wants to, because hel
people are similar to our own, but there
he draws the line. Hawaii, never! But
we would like to ease Mr.. Schurz's
mind. Therefore we will recall to hin
the fact that the heather native popu
lation Of Hawaii is dying off at ratt
that will soon leave some white nation
to take peaceable possession. And i
not the Americans who shall it be?

The Fruit Season.

The grape season is on. Eat grapes,
ripe, sound ones, in abundance. Many
people can make whole breakfast off
them and nothing else and feel the bet
ter for it. Don't be afraid of them. The
grape cure in Europe frequently causes
a mans dyspepsia and dumps to flee
away forever, and he feels as though he
were made ovtI again and were walking
on air. 1t will do the same in America.
If anything is certain, it is that the
food of civilization is changing some
what, particularly in America. The
heavy, stuffy, greasy foods of our ances-
tors are giving way to those which are
lighter, more nourishing and more quick
ly digested. The American cannot af-
ford to spend six hours digesting his
dinner when he wants all the blood he
can get for use in his brain to invent new
machines, to write or to plan out COM
mercial enterprises. Life is too short to
give SO many of the "a hours up to the
stomach.
Therefore fruit, and a quantity of it,
takes the place of sausage, billed din
