Botanists and Artists.

BOt3nlSIS anu ArJlSISs
One day at the foot of damp rock
saw a little lean man coming toward me,
with a nose like an eagles beak, nervous,
jerky movements and something quaint
and earnest in his countenance.
Unfortunately | was looking at plant
with long, straight green stalk and
white, delicate corolla, which grew near
some hidden springs.
He took me for raw fellow bOtanist.
"Ah, here you are, gathering plants!
What BY the stalk, clumsy? What
will it do in your herbarium without
roots?"
''But, sir"-
Common plant, frequent in the en-
virons of Paris, Parnassia palustris; stem
simple, erect. petals rounded. Those
hectares are curious; good study; plant
well chosen. Courage! You'll get on. >
"But am no botanist."
Every good; you are modest. There
are rare plants here which you should
absolutely carry away. Ha! What Is
that? The AQuilegia pyrenaica"
And my little man started off like al
lizard, clambered up slope, carefully
dug the soil about the flower, took it VI
without cutting single root, and re
turned with sparkling eyes, triumphani
air, and holding it aloft like a banner.

have long wanted it. Come, my youns
friend, slight examination. You don't
know the species, but you recognize the
family"
"Alas, don't know word of bot
anyr'
He looked at me stupefed.
"Then why do you gather plants?'
ITO see them, because they are pref
ty."
He put his flower into his case, adjust
ed his cap and went away without add
ing another word.-"A Tour Throug'
the Pyrenees.'

For those other than strictly local would say legislation for a maximum fare per mile and for local maximum fare I would apply this not only for new roads but for any old ones coming here asking for new privileges. To provide against speculative charters I would provide time limit for starting work, another time limit for hay ing matters in running order, and, if not complied with, forfeit their charters. I would provide that 8 speed limit be fixed, and that on none of these roads should a dividend of 6 greater rate than per cent. be paid. I would further provide that all earnings above this should be paid into the state as franchise tax. I would have these roads pay tsx in the town where they are located. would place these rail roads under the local government of the l towns where situated.

This gives majority of 1S7 to the yeas, and so the actions of the athletic captains and managers will stand until January l, 1894.
 The vote on the second proposition stood, 99S In favor of and 213 against. There was not any wonderful display of interest in the voting, as the light vote boiled amply sets forth. Whether the athletic management will consider this as 8 popular expression of the voice and senti- ment of the university remains of course to be seen. It was the feeling among a large number of the students that the faculty in league with the athletic captains would have things as they wanted them anyway, and this probably in measure accounts for the lack of interest which was
 taken in the matter.
 Professor Eugene L. Richards, who takes
 an active interest in athletics, has been through. Professor H. P. Wright, dean of the college, is, however, reported as saying that ''no rule at all would be better than to put this in for year"
 Yale certainly can no longer be called a l unit in her athletics. It now stands be- fore the community as house divided against itself. The strong sentiment in all | the professional departments, especially in 1 the law school, against this action, and the deep, unlying ill-feeling in the college itself | will, some think, eventually breed disorder. The athletics must also suffer, ss the law | school holds some of the most prominent | athletes in the university.

 This Tree?

Tot the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 There is tree right in front of the North church in the green which is in great danger of falling at any moment. It is old and decayed and split from top to bottom. I have watched it for two years, and am afraid it will drop and kill some of the many who daily pass beneath it. The au- thorlties should take this tree down. Can you not use your influence in the matter and perhaps save one or more valuable lives? LEX
