ass and three books OF the Iliad. Nor, as
we have said, can young man contemplat-
ing an A. B degree drop either OF the
classic tongues after entering college; for,
whatever electives he may wish ultimate
ly to take, it Is obligatory upon him
TO read, in Latin, the Odes, Satires, and
Epstlcs of HORACE, and selections from
CICERO, Ivy, GELLIUs, TACiTUs, PLlNY
the Younger, JuvENAL, PERsIus, and the
elcgiac poets; while in Greek he cannot es-
cape reading PLATo's Apology, and more or
less Of HOMER, HERoDOTUs, THUcYDIDEs,
DEMosTHEHEs, HGsCHYLUs, SOriIOCLEs, Eu-
RlPfDEs, and ARIsTOPHANEs. Neither can the
undergraduate Mt Colgate shirk mathcmat-
les, for the prescribed work covers the higher
algebra, solid and spherical geometry, trig-
onomctry, plane and spherical, surveying,
analytic geometry, and the calculus.
II is obvious that due precautions have
been taken at Colgate to assure to the de-
gree of bachelor of arts its proper signif-
icance as regards both the classics and
mathematics. Weshould note further, that
the theological school, which has 30 students,
confers the degree of bachelor of divinity
only upon those of it's graduates who before
entering the seminary had taken degree in
arts. This requirement, the grounds OF
which are manifest, is nevertheless not in
sisted upon by all theological seminaries.

pirate the property OF many Of the legal officials

them and all who symrathize with them. The

than three years.
The bill Furthermore makes IL n misdc-
meanor for person to practise ms public
accountant unless he be licensed under the
provisions of the statute every violation OF
which is punishable by n fine of 500.
The main purpose Of this measure, aside
from the absurd and needless restrictions
that 1t imposes upon an employment
which there is no occasion to regulate by
law, seems to he to bring about the estab-
lishment OF an institution called school OF
accounts, under the sanction and control Of
the state Government; for no one is to be
allowed to become a public accountant un-
less he obtains his education in such school.
The State does not need such an institu

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: have read
with an exceeding human interest, il may
call it. the delightful and instructive letters OH
the whereabouts of Tamscn and of the propa-
ganda OF the Tamsen cult Having just
turned from n long voyage on n Stettin- built
hermaphrodite brig, it may interest you little
bit to hear of land off tho southern end OF
South America whero there is everlasting
dispute now going on between two tribes-one
called the Hykaars and the other the Tamsyn.
These two tribes are near alike. being probably
descended from the one great progenitor. that
there is sometimes great trouble in separating
them. No method has been devised to listi n
guish Hykaar from a Tamsyn, but an
infalible test has been found to tell Tam
syn. and that is to take the Tamsyn and put
pair of short breechcs on him called a jiaagir
which renches just to the knees. The legs BY
this means are left bare. The native is then
placed in n large field in which are two more
tom turkeys. Ii the PARTY is genuine Tansyn
the turkeys find great pleasure in pecking at the
calves OF his legs in order to get at the nutri-
ment which sustains Il true Tamsyn and which
is generally of an esculent and highly savory
nature, somewhat akin to diseased cabbage.
The accompanying diagram explains this.

The repeal by the Legislature at Trenton

stitution Of more acceptable one will now allow
tho establishment of two battalions of naval
militia, one at Jersey City and the other at
Camden. Each battalion will contain not less
than two nor more than four divisions, n divi-
sion being the equivalent Of company. The
Jersey City battalion has two divisions already
formed, and the other two should be added.
The Naval Reserve has proved, in many States,

lar navy, particularly in the guarding of coasts
and coast waters. is beyond any question As a

pieces and torpedoes. boat duty. and a weeks
cruise on a war ship form part OF the attrac-
tive variety offered to the recruits for this ser

cerned, the Jersey City battalion should be able

The war fever in Mexico has been al
layed rapidly as it was developed. For about
n month the Mexicans seemed to be uncontroi-
liable intheir rage against Guatemala, and the
Guatemalians were almost scared out of their
boots by the threats OF Mexico. Reason re-
turned first 10 Guatemala. and soon obtained
possession of Mexico. The hot blood of both
parties reganed its natural coolness. and the
brains of both obtained rest. 1t turned out that
President BARRIos only too happy to
renew friendship with President DIAZ. and
that each of them misunderstood the other.
In back ing down BARRIos acted discrcetly. for
he would have been beaten IN the event of hos
tilities. In refusing to crowd BARHIos to tho
wall, DIAZ gave evidence of his native sense.
for his country would have suffered grievously
In IA conflict. The two Presidents have recently
exchanged compliments with each other. which
Is better than exchanging shots. Mexico has
won everything; Guatemala has not lost any
thing worth keeping. Tho Mexicans smile
where but recently they scowed in the presence
OF the Guatemalians, who have come to think
better than ever before OF the good Mexicsns.

Those Rules of tho Road at Sea.

The bill TO postpone the enforcement Of
the act of Aug 10 1890 entitled AN act
to adopt regulations for preventing col
lislons mt sea-" has become law, but not
without some plain talk in Congress upon
the course OF Great Britain in this matter.
Half dozen years ago, in 1889 delegates
from the leading maritime powers OF the
world assembled at Washington and drew
up II set OF Tules of the road at sea. Twenty
eight nations were represented, owning,
according to Senator WHITES figures "a
Oo0,O 900 tons of shipping, while the nations
not represented possessed an aggregate OF
only l27 900 tons Great Britain, the
United States, and France alone owned
rs, 100000 tons last year, or about two
thirds OF the tonnage of the globe.
Congress promptly passed, at the session
following this conference, an act for carry
ing the new rules into effect at time to be
agreed upon. Then the British Government,
which was naturally taking leading part in
the matter, on account OF the magnitude of
its shipping interests, selected March /,

Among other things, DR.. Brady said.
Senator Hoar said that this movement is
not to be taken seriously, but he doesn't
know anything about it. Senator Hoar
has presidential bee buzzing in his bon
net. Benjamin Harrison is in favor Of pa
triotic societies, and William Mckinley is
also in favor of patriotic societies, so Sen
ator Hoar thinks that it will not do for
three of them to be In favor of patriotic
societies, and he throws out bait for the
Catholic vote. Senator Hoar has owed
the A. P. A. whipping ever since last
year for sending an A. p. A. to the state
convention instead of sending him."
