.Iumned for the Ferry.

1t was bright moonlight and II. M, and
one of the toilers on morning newspaper
was on his way home to Brooklyn. He had
to cross by ferry which ran its boats only
half hourly at that time of night, and he
was naturally anxious to catch the boat.
As he rushed down the bridge to the boat
he suddenly perceived that it was just
starting and WAS about five feet from the
slip. Determined to catch it at all hazards,
he shut his teeth firmly, and running down
the bridge gave tremendous leap and
landed beyond the chains amid the cheers
and laughter of the crowd.
Turning TO ascertain the cause Of their
mirth. he saw that the boat was securely
fastened in the slip, and that what he had
taken for the space between slip and boat
was only the shadow cast by the ferry
house in the bright moonlight. NEW York

How do you do?
Now we make a bow.
Two literary societies, named
respectively, Victors and Champ
ions, have been organized. The
object of the organization is to en-
courage literary work, and to place
tho work as much as possible in
the hands of the pupils. The
teacher has the supervision of the
work. Each society will have its
banner inscribed with its name and
Il suitable motto. The victorious
society will have its banner facing
the school until overcome by the
other. The contests will be of two
kinds, viz: two geographical con-
tests, followed by a literary con-
test consisting of recitations, read
ings, compositions and orations.
To-day will be the first geographic
cal contest, to be followed next
Friday by another, this by the lit
erary; this order is to be continued
until the end of the term.
Nearly all the pupils are in ear
nest and work with determina-
ton to accomplish the object for
which they come to school-ac-
quiring an education.
Attendance has been very rcgu-
lar, fact for which teachers are
always thankful.
The library books are being read
by the pupils, and they also make
good use of the International Die
tionary and Chambers Encyclope-
dia.
The books have all arrived and
are in use, except the Primary Ian
guage lessons, which arc still due.

Oml. Experiment Station.

Commenting on a recent criti-
cism of the FREE Press on the
way in which the Prof. of Agricul-
ture had closed down the Grange
vile Experiment Station, the Mos
cow Mirror says:
The FREE PRESS is either mistaken or mis-.
states the facts as are informed by the Sec
rotary of the Board of Regents. The facts in
the are these: The Board have been to
large expense in securing appliances and nee
essaries for the University and the Experiment
tai Stations, and they found that it was neces-
sary to reduce expenses to keep within the APP
preparation made for the maintenance of the
institution. large amount OF money has
been spent in buying and Furnishing the Ex
perimental Stations. and since the Board found
that at the rate they were making e penditures
they would not have funds to continue during
the year they decided to reduce expenses as
much as possible. The Stations are not aban-
doned as the FREE Press would have its read
ers believe.
Nothing that the Mirror can say
or do can affect the proposition
one way Or the other. The FEEDER
al government appropriates $4,000
per year for each Experiment Sta
ton. The Grangeville station is
now in its second year, and only a
small fraction Of the appropriation
has been expended in it's mainte-
nance. The citizens of Camas
prairie bought and paid for the
land, on the understanding that
the entire appropriation of $4,000
was to be expended each year on
the Station itself. Instead of do
ing SO, $4,000 of the $1,000 is di-
verted from its legitimate object to
help pay big salaries to a whole lot
of State University professors at
Moscow. With the exception of a
little building and the purchase OF
few cayuse cows, there has been
no expenditures on the Grange
vile Station.
