Some one has noted that the adjective
applied by college graduates and stu
dents to their alma mater is always
"old." 1t is "old Harvard" "old Yale"
cold Dartmouth" and one enthusiastic
admirer and attendant at the University
of Chicago has been heard to refer to
certain rules of that institution as "a
way we have at old Chicago" There is
certainly an affection conveyed by the
word "old" that no other adjective car
ries, and like the terms of address cold
man" or ''old boy" it signifies that low
ing familiarity with which every one re-
CARDS his college ome.-Boston Journal.

Danger From Adhesive Plasters.

The Lancet gives an account Of fatal
case of blood poisoning in which the in
lection was traced to a bunion plaster.
One can readily see how the common
court plaster or any adhesive plaster
might be the cause of injecting a fresh
wound. They are made to great ex-
tent of animal refuse and beyond that
may be infected in the pocket or by be-
ing carelessly left in place where they
are liable to contamination.

A SUN WoRSHIPER.
Since no song birds lyric gush

Since no song birds lyric gush
Breaks the gray and icy hush,
Since the meadows are in bond,
And white letters chain the pond,
Since the barren boughs bewail,
And the bright hours swiftly fail,
Since the nights are one black blur,
I have turned sun worshiper.
Though my vision may not scan
Precepts Zoroastrain,
D., Yet have some rapture caught
That the ancient Parsees taught.
Winter prisoned, am won
By the promise of the sun,
And lift my prayer that he
Set the weary captive free.
He can shatter frosty bars,
Edge hillpaths with blossom stars;
He can heal the bare bough's grief
BY the boon of bursting leaf,
Woo the solitude to song,
Right the wasting winters wrong;
He can golden life confer
have turned sun warshiper!

The reckless prodigality with which
in ancient Egypt the upper classes
squandered away the labor and lives of
the people is perfectly startling. In this
respect, as the monuments yet remain
ing abundantly prove, they stand alone
and without rival. We may form
some idea of the almost incredible waste
when we hear that 1000 men were occu-
pied for three years in carrying single
stone from Elephantine to Sais, that the
canal Of the Red sea alone cost the lives
of 100, 900 Egyptians, and that to build
one of the pyramids required the labor
of 100000 men for 20 years.-London

dare to indulge in such amenities laughed
wildly, while the lawyer said he

the common herd. Exchange

Then there was shout, and men
felt rising to their throats. From

One Of the distinguishing qualities OF

II am not at all surprised" said :
bright woman, THAT some men And
other wemen mere attractive than their
wives. In this age Of progress and
newspapers women who do not live up
to the times must expect TO be eclipsed
by those who do. The Hannah Jane
Theory set forth In Carleton's poem is
exploded.
THE occasion for my disgust is that
twice within the past week have met
wives who did not care for the frivoli-
ties of life, and whose husbands l did
not blame for casting Sleeps eyes at
more attractive women. The first wom-
an came into the dining-room OF hotel
in a western city. She evidently
boarded at the place, and it was
really good hotel. Every other person
In the dining-room was well dressed.
Her husband was well dressed. She
actually wore wrapper. one such as
is sold In the stores at ninety-eight
cents apiece. It was Of dull peacock
green color, with yellow rings In 1t,
and intensified her sallowness. Her
skin and hair had a neglected look. the
latter brushed back SO tightly that two
thin places near her temples were
plainly visible. Her whole appearance
was Of the don't care order. The
sooner she drops away from this mum
dane sphere the better it will be for
the husband, whose eyes wandered
often to the tables where sat othef
women, who were fixed up"
1.-THE other case was that of the pres
ident OF great trades union, with
whom an interview was necessary.
His home was sought towards evening.
It was a neat brick house, the front
closely shut up, and it actually became
a necessity for the correspondent to at
tack the kitchen door before she found
anyone. This anyone proved to be the
wife Of the man, young, black-eyed
woman, with neglected child clinging
to her dress. She was, by all appear
ances, @ born slattern. The interview
was short and not interesting. The
husband was sought in the Office of the
trades union OF which he was chief Of
flcer. He was grand surprise, as he
was a man, not only of Drawn and
brain, but remarkably well dressed and
thoroughly intelligent. He seemed
rather suspicious, but thawed easily
under genial influences. The truth in
advertently leaked out that he rarely
got home until midnight I did not
wonder. I only wondered that he ever
went home. l don't think l would have

Cheese and Fruit Sandwiches.

Have you ever tried cream cheese and
fruit sandwiches? For these mash any
fruit as you would the Strawberries,
flavoring and sweetening them to taste.
Have ready some slices Of bread (tiny
scones or slim cakes are delicious for
this) and lay on each thin slice Of
pure cream cheese sprinkled with cas-
ter sugar, and on this again a layer Of
mashed fruit, and put them together,
pressing them slightly on to each other.
Cream cheese, either sweetened or not,
is excellent as an accompaniment to
fruit, and so Of course is clotted or Dew
onshire cream.

Conan Doyle has begun to pave the
way for his approaching lecture tour
of the United States by say ing fiatter-

He likes the work of Riley, Cable, and
Miss Jewett, but he Is especially
charmed with Mary E. Wilkins, whom
he considers "a singularly gifted wom-
an, who writes as no one else in Amer
lea writes"-which might be dubious
praise, but is really intended for high
compliment.
Capt. Mahan, U. S. N, who has
been receiving such unusual honors
from England, is extremely modest by
tempera After he had finished
the manuscript of his remarkable work
or '.Sea Power" early in the year 1889,
he submitted it to literary man in
New York. making the characteristic
remark that it was "a conscientious
piece of work. The New York littera-

that, and strongly advocated its pub.
lication. 1t has made Mahan famous.

mentioned that the assault occurred
while he was returning home from an
