 The Harvard faculty have sat down upon custom of much observance in that university. They have expressly discountenanced the reviews known as seminars" conducted before the regu- lar examinations by clever students, who thus make money for themselves and coach up their backward fellows in various courses. These reviews last from two to four hours, and are at tended sometimes by as many as hum dred students. who pay two or three dollars each for the privilege of attend ing. 1t has also been customary in the more difficult courses for some one to prepare elaborate notes for sale, which. ill many cases have been submitted to the instructors for their approval. This sale of notes is also discountenanced

PERFUMES AND RITUAL.
Revolt of Early Christians Against tt
 Dse of Incense.

 Revolt of Early Christians Against the
 Use of Incense.
 The use of incense in the early Chris tian church would appear at first to have met with strong opposition, and in the contradictory statements of the early fathers we see the traces of a warm controversy. That enthusiastic arch@ologist Didron, in his ''Annales Archeologiques has collected wealth of information bearing on the use of perfumes in the different Christian rituals Writing as $ pious mediDva- list, he contrasts the pagan abuse of perfumes, ministering to their widest orgies, with their more spiritual and refined employment in the service of the church
 Certainly at no time has the cult of perfumes been carried to a higher point than that reached by wealthy Romans of ths empire; witness the important part that they play in the anecdotes of feasting and fast" life which we find scattered through the pages of Apuleius, Petronius, Anthen@us and Lucian.
 In his Banquet" Athen@us quotes an authority who recommends that the legs should be washed with an Egyptian perfume taken from box of gold, the mouth and the breast with a liquor made from dates, the arms with mint. the eyebrows and hair with mar joram, the knees and the neck with thyme" In these debauches de l'odorat the very vessels from which they i drank, brought at great expense from 1 Egypt, were manufactured from per- fumed clay and fred in kiln heated with aromatics. These were the scented cups from which the courtesans drank sirup composed of pepper, myrrh and l Egyptian perfume
 1t was a natural revolt against such practices that led Tertullian, and. in later days, St. Augustin, to inveigh against the use of incense. Moreover, to take a few grains of incense between l the finger and thumb and scatter them on an altar was often all that was re- quired by the authorities to repel the charge of belonging to the new and de- spised sect And yet, for all this, the use of perfumes ere pt into the church, and we find the early fathers adopting an apologetic and uncertain tone on the subject: we might almost accuse them of hedging. Thus Tertullian says:
 It is true we burn no incense. If the Arabian complains of this, the Sabaean will testify that more of bis merchandise and more costly is law ished on the burial of Christians than in burning incense to the gods. Nine teenth Century,

 In hot weather q lemon sherbet or watcr ice is refreshing and wholesome. The juice of an orange is great addi- tiop to this ice, and the proportions may be varied. Four large, juicy lemons make quite quantity when an orange is used. Peel the yellow rind of the lemons very thin, and from the orange also, and put to boil in al porcelain saucepan with one and a quarter pounds of sugar and one quart of water. Boil five minutes, set away to cool: when cold strain into theI lemon and orange juice; strain the whole into the freezer and freeze until stiff then take out the beater, and the whites of three eggs beaten to stiff frotll, beat well together, cover closely or put into mold, repack and set away to harden.

Allow one pint of water to one lemon-four lemons make sufficeint for many dose; cut up the lemons, rinas pulp and all, in the water and boil une til the whole is reduced to one pint; a teaspoonful before each meal is ths dose.
 On hot mornings when the appetite fails and the sight of food disgusts one, try sliced lemons for breakfast. Peel carefully. remove every particle of pith, slice down instead of across into deep glass saucer and strew literally with sugar.-Philadelp Record.

Weatherford Tex. June 4-The
thread OF the Weatherford college ex-
ercses was picked up today at 10 a.
IN. by boys and girls in contest for
medal in the preparatory department
for evolutionary superiority. This ex-
hibiuon Of the class in oratory was OF
such high character as TO elicit long
and loud applause from the audience.
As comparisons are invidious. must
state that Miss Maude Goldiwlre sur
passed in her effort all expectations.
Her posture was grace itself, her ar
ticulation clear, her gestures perfect;
in II word. it'was the climax OF ora
tory fully reached and held through
out the delivery OF her Incompatible
effort. These exercises were enlivened
by sweet strains OF music by the pupils
of the music class and did much TO add
tina. zest to the occasion that such ef-
forts only can. 1t will be a difficult
task for the advanced pupils TO eclipse
some Of these, in their efforts this
morning. At p. M. the chapel was
filled with citizens anxious to witness
the afternoon contest. which was for
medal to be given TO the successful
young lady amid those who strove for
the honor in defamation in the col
leglate course. Young ladies' were the
contestants in this afternoon trial for
the honor. The young ladies were
older than those that appeared on the
rostrum this morning. and while as n
class they excelled, yet they had pat
tern given whose excellence had not
been surpassed. The exercises OF the
entire day We're Of the highest order
and calculated to advance the college
beyond anything yet attained by 1t.
Tonight the Demosthenic and Adel-
phian societies will give an entertain
ment. The recltatlve and declama-
tory exercises of this day is another
milestone passed in the race OF mind
by the pupils of the weatherford col
lege and II the faculty are rescrving
the best wine for the list OF this educa-
tional feast. then the advocates OF ed
ucation will be joyous indeed.

The Country ovcrrun with Them, ms
Proved by the Census OF 1870.

Marrying and giving In marriage is

than In any other country in the world
IL Is matter Of sentiment; and that
so may II be until the end OF time II
the aspiration Of all true lovers and

OF brushing on some OF the bloom OF
fancy from the subject, snys the Bos-
ton Post. 1t IA interesting to regard Il
in the cold light OF figures, which tells
what Kind OF an aggregate is made up
ny the individual tendencies OF the
American people toward matrimony.
such figures are fur nished for the first
time by the census OF 1890. former
enumerations not having been con-
cerned with this very important fea-
ture OF the social condition OF the
United States.
The FIRST thing which catches the at
tention IN the tabulations OF the census
bureau on this subject r. the vast
number OF young bacheiors. At the
age or ~ years only twenty men out OF
100 are married, and even UP TO 20
years nearly one-half stlll remain
single. The women do better. At the
age of 2 nearly half OF them havo be-
come wives. and before they reach 30
yehrs nearly three-quRrters have found
their mates. AS a rule women marry
at an earlier nge than men, and this
accounts In part for the difference, But
the great fact remains that the vast
army OF young men OF America re-
main bachelors at an age at which
their grandfathers were the heads OF
families and bound to the community
by the strongest ties known in our
social system.
Exact comparison IL. OF course, i'm
possible, owing TO the absence OF fig-
ures for previous years, but II Is safe
to say that this habit of hachelorhood
has increased and that the tendencies
OF modern conditions OF life are toward
Its further growth. As the stand
ard OF luNury-which we have come to
call COMFORTS raised, the cost OF
maintaining family becomes greater
md the responsibility becomes more
formidable. The young man who can
support himself in ease hegitates to as
sumo greater burdens. which must In
V1lve some sacrifice OF his habits and
may bring the need of greater excrtlon
as bread-winner than he. In his
bachelor freedom. likes TO contemplate.
And so the young women, seeing new
opportunities OF agreeable occupation
opening up on all hands for those OF
her sex who have capacity for bust
ness, for art, for industry of many
kinds. may be influenced by greater In
difference TO the sentiment which leads
to marriage. Yet, which IA the better
state? II long life IL the desired thing.
these census figures have something Of
interest to tell the young bachelors OF
America. They show that OF all the
American men and women who have
reached the age Of So years. ninety
