property uniniured. Since the war.
the university has regained itsansientl
prestige, the attendance being larger
than ever before.
The present disaster will be q great
blow, for it cannot be restored as it
was, and many Of the historical as
sociations will be destroyed forever.
The hopeful side OF this melancholy
picture is seen in the promptne2s and
zeal with which the faculty have!
started movement to restore the,
burned buildings, and at the same,
tin ): to provide the university with
.ner buildings that have long been
sadly needed. 1t is proposed to re-
erect the rotunda on the old lines, and
thus perpetuate the outward eYieance
of Jeferson,s work as the founder ct
the institution. The estimated cost
of this restoration is $50, 600, and
new building is desired to replacs the
annex which shall cost 500, 600: while
other structures that are needed at
the earliest possible moment viii call
for $76, 900, and the purchase OF new
books and the proper endowment OF
the library $4,000 apiece-a grand
total of $sk6, 600, towards which in
surance and endowments in hanc will
provide $5s, 900. There is chus re-

in the work. "Nor should the call
reach only graduates of the univer-
sity, . says the New York Post. Its
fullest equipment is matter OF Ma :
tional Importance, and no friend OF
education in any part of the coaatry
could do better service for the up,
building Of the South, and thereby OF
the whole country, than by a contri-

The Boston transcripts "Listener'

The Boston transcripts 'Tdstener"
grows extremely aesthetic in his crit
icism Of the modern iron building.
Says he: "A large building is going
up in Boston in which great weight
is apparently being supported By col
nmns so slender that they must surely
be crushed. But no one need be
alarmed-at least not at present.
These colamns are. not Of stone, but Of
iron encased in Composition OF
stone, decoratively treated as if it were
stone. Every one of these graceful
piliars-for the details are throughout
beautiful--is q monument to q lie.
They are SO brazenly false to their
purpose that common laborers, pass
ing by, are struck by their unhtness,
and comment upon it."

Times, it is seen how easily the feat
may be accomplished. The first thing
is to insert needle in cork SO that
the point barely comes through. If
the large end of the needle projects at
the upper end of the cork, snap it off
with pair of heavy shears, so that it
may be flush with the surface of the
cork. Place nickel upon two blocks
of wood, and put the cork on it with
the sharp end of the needle down, of
course. Give the cork quick, sharp
blow with hammer, and the needle,
being unable to bend, owing to the
support given it by the cork, will easily
go through the nickel. A silver quar-
ter may be used in place of the nickel.

Ir. Sam Heller, Of Raleigh, N. O.,
knowing that there was no Limit to
the weight of first. class mail packages,
ordered box of shoes, weighing 125
pounds, sent to him by mail. With
only 2-cent stamp affixed. There
were on the box when it arrived $40
worth of postage due stamps. There
were fifty OF the denomination of fifty
cents, for which he says ne can OBJ
tain from the dealers $1.25 each, and
fifty of thirty cents, worth seventy
five cents each; SO by this calculation
he makes $50. This is the heaviest
package of the kind which ever passed
through the mail in Raleigh.

A Wonderful Cotton Stalk.

Mr.. John Keil has quite a lot of
long staple cotton growing on his
farm near the exposition grounds. He
has seventy stalks without limbs which
average thirteen feet in height. The
cotton was raised from seed brought
him by his brother from South Amer
ica. 1t was planted on poor soil and
was shaded, otherwise he believes the
stalks would have been much taller.
The cotton is good in color and was
not hurt by the frost.-Atlanta Con-

SATIN BEAVER.

The new material for handsome
cloaks and teagowns is the satin
beaver, which combines the lustrous
effect of satin with the depth of color
in plush or velvet, and, wonderful to
say, it does not crush in wear and is
moderate in price. So many advan-
tages are certain to insure its prompt
adoption and consequent success.

IS srrprising that the great river
which Professor Bell claims to have
discovered in Northern Quebec should
have received no name from the ma,

but it may be that the Esquimaux
named this stream the great river be-
cause of It's majestic size. When ex-

When the Civil War came the ma

"fringe" has been almost entirely dis
carded, and only few soft, loose
rings of hair are allowed to stray over
the forehead.
Some hairdressers use small cushions
at the back of the head over each ear,
and this gives the wide outline which
seems so desirable. Some very smart
