The COLLEGE "GRINp.

He Works, Economics and Becomes
Reciuse.
The Harvard grind is term used
as often in the college circles as any
surname, says the Boston Herald. The
name originated from the old custom
men had of getting down and working
hard u few days before examination.
Finally, when a fellow was known to
keep up this grinding process through
out the term, he soon went under the
caption of grind" The name has
now become an established term in
Harvard life, and the visitor is now
shown the grind's headquarters, the
grind's table in our dining hall, and the
grind's haunts.
To see him in his true light, the
grind must be hunted out at different
times of the year. l traced up one of
these fellows year ago in the dead of
winter. He lived in an upstairs room,
eight by eight feet; no stove in the
room, no heating apparatus of any
kind, for, in fact, there was not room
for any; a small single bed across one
side, a bureau across the other, and
little table under the one window. In
the narrow aisle in the center there was
room but for one chair. A light carpet
on the floor, looking-glass set in the
bureau top, and one or two wall decora-
tions completed the furnishings of the
room. 1t was totally wanting in all
those little artistic designs so char
acteristic of the Harvard room. No
fine art lectures practiced as pre-
scribed there by Prof. Norton; no
trace OF bric-a-brac and crimson deco
IN short ~ nrf nf don
in which a man could "eat and sleep
and have his being"
To be sure, this was not an attract
i've lodging, but, as the occupant in
formed me, he could study there and
the room cost him only two dollars
per week. When l ventured the sug-
gestion that it must be very risky liv-
ing there without fire in the dead of
winter, he said he usually worked in
one of the university private libraries
during the day and until ten o'clock at
night. Upon seeing q small oil cook
stove in one corner / made great
venture upon its use and found that
this student was doing his own cook
ing. / also learned that his laundry
bills were a minimum. In short, that he
was living on one dollar and fifteen
cents per week, according to his own
figures.
Here is n rare case, but one not near
ly as rare as might be expected at first
thought. Because men are students
in university does not make all of
them aspire to anything socially.
Hero Is an actual case where man
turned himself into n recluse, did his
own cooking and washing, and spent
every minute grinding over books.

How he Braves Death at the HOLY City
of His Faith.

Cl uiLf.
The accounts givc.l BY the pilgrims
of the way in which cholera attacked
them are terrible in their grim fatal
ism, says the London Spectator. June
"a, two days before the Courban
Bairnm, upward of one hundred thou
sand Mrssulnnns, Arabs, Turks and
Indians had gathered on the sacred
mount to hear the solemn address
which is delivered TO those who wish
to become hadji. Many of these peo-
pie were in the most wrctched con-
dition, ard some had not even a loaf Of
bread.
It was here that the disease appears
to have struck them, like the blast of
a poisoned wind. When next Gay the
onward movement to the holy city be-
gan it was found that the Froand was
strewn like battlefield wi;i, the dead
and dying. and so terribly virCleat was
the type of infection THIS ca;-cndcrcd
that it yvaS, says the account, impos-
sible for any living creature to ap-
proach the place.
The authorities seem, however. to
have realized that something must be
done, and that the bodies could not be
left to rot. Accordingly, Turkish
regiment was sent to perform the work
of burial and to remove any of the pill
grirns who still lirci. Ncrcr did troops
in the heat of battle receive 4 com
mand more iraught with peril. The
risk, as it proved, was literally greater
than that OF facing machine guns, and
the moral effect was far more terrible.
There are ten men who will fccc
death to one who will face death
by cholera Yet these Turkish sol
diers, with the fatalistic courage of
their race, obeyed as they obeyed at
Plevaa.
The battalion, when it reached the
mount, was seven hur,u- ii strong.
After the worl: had :jeo.l done two
hundred men only remained to go back
to the coast. Five hundred OF the sol
diers had died of cholera. That is.
nearly three-quarters of the regiment
doubt English troops would have been
upheld by many considerations-by re-
ligious feeling and by the instinct of
mercy, and they would, moreover,
have been well fed.
The Turkish troops probably felt the
sense of pity very little, and their Off
GERS were almost certainly men with
anything but high sense of conduct.
They acted merely from the most
naked sense of the duty OF not ilinch-
ing at = command. II was an order
given from atar and from above, and
that and faith are TO them all one.

ANIMAL FERTILIZERS.
A New Way to Provide Plants with Elcc-
triciiy.


A dead animal of any kind, fish. fowl
or beast, buried near the roots of
fruit or other tree, will cause Won
derful growth, says Fosters Weather
Bureau. The animal substance docs
not pass i:Ito the vegetable. but being
n natural and Q powerful generator OF
electricity, increases the current that
passes from the atmosphere to the
cartA. auG thereby larger quantity of
support is drawn from the atmosphere.
Yo- can grow 4 good crop Of potatoes
on . brick pavement il moisture is re-
tanned and the potato vines are con-
nected with moist earth by copper
wires
Commercial fertilizers do not enrich
the soil, do not add anything to it that
is of value. The object sought in these
fertilizers is to put the sod into con-
dition that will enable it to conduct
electricity. The electrical current
passes into the vegetable through its
leaves, carrying with it the gross mat
ter that goes to build up the vegetable
cells, and after that matter is deposited
in the vegetable the electric current
must have n conductor through which
to pass to the earth.
Worn-out soils are poor conductors.
and the acids used in the commercial
fertilizers, which are LITTLE more than
acids and sand, pulvcrizc the dead soil
and cnlivcn it for q short time. Those
acid fertilizers are largely used in the
New England states and in the cotton
countries east of the Mississippi.
But few people in the upper Missis-
sippi and the Missouri valleys ever saw
n commercial fertilizer. If science can
find something that will render worn
ont soil n good conductor it will save
millions Of dollars annually that is now
paid ont for commercial fertilizers.

LOVING BROTHERS AND SISTERS.

Ih-re Are Undoubtedly Many Noted Ones
In Our History.
One OF the saddest declarations ever
made was that of man who had livcS,
n stormy domestic life on account of
the claims Of property, says the Youths
Com panion.
Don't talk TO me about the love of
brothers and sisters!" he said, bitterly.
AT heart they always hate each
other"
The evidence of history gives the lie
to this saddeninR conclusion. Among
the most beautiful souls we know there
has been the strongest and most last
ing fratcrnal attachment.
The beautiful Margaret of Navarro
was devoted to her brother, Francis l.
When she was apparently dying at
Madrid she found her way to him
through privation and danger and sue
cceded in cffecting his dcliverGncc.
When he was i'll at distance from
her she went every day and sat down
on a stone in the middle of the road to
catch the first glimpse of n messenger
afar off. And she said:
"Ah! whoever shall come to announce
the recovery of the king, my brother,
though he be tired, jadcd, soiled, dis
beveled, l will kiss him and embrace
him rs though he were the finest
gentleman in the kingdom"
When he died she seemed literally
heart-broken and she did not long sur
vivc him.
Sir William and Caroline Herschcl
seemed to have but a single thought in
their common occupation of studying
the stars. One swept the heavens with
the telescope and the other patiently
noted down the results. Together they
reached old age, always interested
in the same pursuit and always de-
votedly attached to each other.
Goethe was always the loving friend
and partisan of his sister Cornelia.
81 was again drawn toward home"
he writes concerning one of his fre-
qucnt excursions, land that by mag
net which attracts me strongly at all

To approach our own time and
tongue more nearly is to find Dorothy
Wordsworth, who lived in her brothers
ambitions and desires. Byron found
his good angel in his sister Augusta.
Charles Lamb and Mary were friends
true and tried, and the poet Whittier
lived, loved and worked in the delight
full companionship of his sister, of
whom he said after her death that
