The Cost of a University Crew.


 1 wv. B. Woodgate In the St. James Gazette.
 The campaign for the boat-race may
 be said to commence when the practice
 and selection for the Autumn Trial
 Flights are first taken in hand by the president. This trial race requires, as a preliminary, the provision of pair of
 ''clinker" build gig eights These should be in good condition-not twist ed, not sodden, and also of about equal | speed. One of them may serve next | spring for preliminary practice of the picked eight. The pair of ships may | last, with luck, for a couple of seasons before they are renewed. If one of them gets a trifle out of sorts. then probably her sister will be sold second hand together with her, and new cou- pie built, in order to secure parity of speed in two ships for the next trial race. These boats cost fifty pounds apiece, without fittings, and two pounds more to "eanvas" their ends. Say a new brace every other year; this leaves a minimum outlay, roughly speaking, of fifty-two pounds per annum for gig eight architecture. Any salvage ob- tained by sales secondhand will be about swamped by cost of repairs, var nish, paint, etc,
 New oars, a set or more five pounds set, will be needed each season for each of these; say fourteen pounds at the lowest. The two crews will be coached from horseback for some twen- ty-tive days, a coach to each; say live " stable charges Especial reduction for taking a quantity'O, twenty pounds or more. The last day or two of prac- tice will be upon the course on which the race will be rowed (Ely for Cam bridge, Moulsford for OXford.) The Oxford University Boat club finds 0 steam-launch to carry the coach; at Cambridge a launch of sufficient speed cannot always be secured, and coach ing has then to be done from the sad dle, as before; say, hire of launch two days, ten pounds. Then the contending crews are entertained, qua lunch, dress ing-rooms, tea after race, by their club each day at some riverside hostelry, say eighteen performers, two coaches (and possibly two or three more hands, ad- visers ard critics) anyhow twenty guests-say 6s. Cd. a head probably more, for two days (thirteen pounds) The boats have to be vanned to and from the scene of action; say five pounds a van (ten pounds). Hence we get, as trial eight" outlay:

TEN DAYS IN 4 TREE,
With Nothing but Chinese Medicines and
 Pair of Boots to Eat.


 Pair of Boots to Eat.
 From the orovi!le Mercury.l
 A Chinese miner, who, with com panion. was lost in the snow amid the rugged mountains of Plumas county, has been found, nearer dead than alive. For ten days he lived in a hollow tree, with nothing to eat but some Chinese medicine and scraps of leather cut from his boots. When rescued by a party of white miners his feet, from which he had cut the boots for food, were terribly frozen, and he was so weak he could hardly move. The searchers could find no trace of his companion, who Is certain to have per- ished.
 There are a large number of Chinese mining at Browns Hill and February 25th two of the number left the camp to go to La Porte, a distance of sixteen miles. to procure some Chinese medi- cine, for the use of the members of the camp. The then weather was good, and the two Chinese proceeded safely over the snow to La Porte, procured the

shown herewith and consists of skirt and bodice with draped fronts that are continued as portions of the front breadth of the skirt and are fastened at the shoulders after the gown is put on The skirt is full in front as well on the sides to harmonize with the drapery. A deep yoke of watered silk appears at front and back of the bod ice, and the garniture consists of ros- cites and bows, with standing collar and sleeve bands of striped velvet ribbon.
 There should be much satisfaction this season to the women who find new silks unattainable, for never have cot tons been so pretty. They combine soft mixture of colors with a crinlSly texture in way that results in a ma terial as fit for Titania as her own cob web brocade. Taste and not money governs the choice of these, too, for all are extremely inexpensive. Silk is min gled in beautiful effect with cotton, and solid, lace and web weaves cross each other with bewildering and beautiful results. Material by the yard can be obtained that appears to be striped with ribbon bands richly inserted with lace, and elaborately drawn at intervals into series of tucks. There's a chance for every purse in the stores now.

sAGACrOUs WORDS.

President Cleveland has his defects, but he has at least one great and con
 spicuous merit, and that is his consist ent and persistent advocacy of sound money. His latest utterance concerning
 the currency question is in letter to
 the business men of Chicago. In this letter he has something to say which may well engage the attention of all interested in the prosperity of the coun-
 try and also the attention of those who are playing or getting ready to play political games. Read this; If the sound money sentiment abroad in the land is to save us from mischief and disasteri 1t must be crystallized and combined and made immediately active. What is now more needed than any thing else is plain and simple pre- sentation of the argument in favor of sound money. It ought not to be diffi- cult to convince the wage-earner that if there are benefits arising from de- generated currency they would reach him least of all and last of all. Dis- guise it as we may, the line of battle is drawn between the forces of safe currency and those of silver monometal- ism.
 This is clear and truthful state ment of the situation. And yet, we are sorry to say. there are "Republican leaders" who can't see any such thing.

FASHION NOTES.
Cottons and sIlks in Crepon weaves.

Cottons and silks in Crepon weaves.
 Crepon is still the popular material and flooding the market with cheap qualities seems only to have stimulated the trade in the supply of more expen- sive weaves of this goods. One of the very latest materials is a crepon weave of cotton. Its threads are flbrous and stiff and are set together so loosely that the goods are entirely transparent. It is woven in very deep honey-combs and spirals and comes in all shades. It is planned to be made over lining of. contrasting color, the transparency and the deep ridging giving a curious effect of change of color and depth of mater ial. A like stuff is shown at very high price in silk. In this material the gloss of the silk adds to the stTangeness of effect. The goods is dif1icult&o handle because of fraying.

q was born in 1793, and since then T have never been i'll a single minute, . Is the statement of pr. de Bossy, the oldest of French physicians, who is still in active practice at Havre. He has never followed any special diet, and is opposed to anything of the sort. hIe rises at seven, summer and winter, and as soon as he is dressed starts on his, rounds, generally on foot. He has drank coffee all his life, has no objection to glass of bitters, and Tobacco is "a poison which he regularly absorbs." He attributes his longevity to moderation in all things. His father lived to be 108. Dr. de Bossy took his degree in 1918, then went to England, and later to India, where he practised medicine, and returned to Havre where he has since been at work, sixty-four years ago. He has two sons, the elder sixty-eight years old.

Orren M. Donelson of Chicago has an idea. The chronic irrigation rows be- tween divers western States and terri tories suggested 1t to him. Briefly, MT. Donelson proposes to wipe out all the present arbitrary boundary lines on the map of that portion of the United States lying west of the Mississippi River and start fresh, running the new State lines on scientific principles with direct ref erence to the natural watersheds and drainage basins. He has worked out this encouragement of things on paper, and finds that it would give us twenty six States in place of eighteen, to say nothing of the gain in peace and quiet ness.

Under the provisions of a law passed by the present legislature of Massachu- setts the expense of the high school tu- ition of pupils attending high schools from towns in the State which main tain no such schools and have a valua- tlon of less than $5OO,OOO is put upon the soate, whereas 1t has formerly been borne by the towns in which the pupils lived. There are seventy-seven such towns in the State, and 1t is calculated that the change will cost the State about $1S,OOo year, The idea seems to be that the wealthier towns and cities can well afford to help the poor and smaller communities.

That is an interesting statement lately issued from Harvard college showing how the elective system of studies there operates to shorten the college course. In the first three years a stu dent is required to take fourteen courses. only two of which are pre- scribed. During the past five years, however, the number of students cred- ited with sixteen courses in three years has increased from fifteen to seventy seven, or more than fifth of the class. Last year, thirty-six men had eighteen courses to their credit the full number required for a degree. Of these, eighteen got their degree at the end of the three years, and to eleven was granted leave of absence during their senior year. These figures show that men of exceptional ability can win their degree in three years if they go to work to do it.

SOMETHING ABOUT THE HAMMOCK
INDIANS.

The Bannocks or Bannacks, occu-
Ply the Fort Hall reservation in
southeastern Idaho, with the Sho-
shones. The Shoshones are more
numerous than the Bannocks, who
in 1894 were TIE, all told, 1872 being
males over Is years of age, while OF
l745 Shoshones there were 2S6
males above Is years of age. The
only purpose for which the Bannocks
appeared to be preserved, according
to the account given the writer while
ON visit to the Fort Hall reserva
ton few years ago, was to vex and
annoy the Shoshones, who take
more kindly to labor, schools, and
the use OF other clothing than blank
cts than do the Bannocks, who ap.
peared to be incurably opposed to
civilization for themselves and other
Indians. The two tribes have been
thrown together tor many years on
the same reservation, and while the
Shoshones have manifested willing
ness to accept the benefits of schools
and instruction in the use of imple-
ments of agriculture, the Bannocks
have assumed superiority because
OF their refusal to be civilized, and
have. tainted the Shoshones as
"squaws" because they embrace the
opportunities for Improvement held
out by the government. The Sho.
shones are peaceful and Industrious.
There were raised and sold for the
reservation in 1893 more than
SIS, 900 worth of agricultural pro-
ducts, of which it is safe to assume
that the Shoshones produced a verv
considerable share. The reports of
the Indian agent show that of all the
Shoshones and Bannocks on the res.
ervatlon, only 40 can speak enough
English to be understood in ordinary
conversation. The degree of civiliza-
ton to which these Indians have
reached is indicated by the statement
that there was one marriage during
the year, and Is chiefs were living in
polygamy.
The United States had Bannock
war in 1873. 1t was hot and short.
and it cost $3.50, 636.19. Twenty
four soldiers, 80 citizens and IA Indi-
ans were killed before it stopped.

BREEDING THE BUFFALO.

The famous Montana character is
Charlie Allard OF Ravali. Mr..
Allard is famous mainly because he
is one OF the owners of the largest
herd OF Buffalo in TIE country, and
no man living has given to these
now rare animals more patient study
and attention than he.
THE coolest storms of winter do
not trouble them" he says, "for
their thick, shaggy coats are wind
proof During the heavy SHOWS and
billiards. they climb the hills, and,
turning their breasts to the wind
defy the storm. They feed where the
snow is thinnest. Cattle are driven
before a storm and will often 90
with wind 60 or 100 miles from
the accustomed range, unless they
reach sheltered spot. Horses turn
their backs to storm, but the buffa-
10 faces it every time. They seem to
keep in about the same condition OF
flesh the year round, and are as good
eating in the spring as they are in
the fall, and buffalo steak is as rine
a morSel as ever man made a meal
OF. About two years ago | pur-
chased the Jones herd OF buffalo,
which was at Omaha. There were
81 of them in the herd. and we paid
(tor have partner now $4,000
tor the lot. Marchiol Pablo, we'll
known cattle man, has joined me in
the business, and for the past year
has had entire charge of them, so
that | do know just exactly how
many we have-about 140 | should
judge now, and by next fall there
will be fully 200 of them.
I'VE have experimental in crossing
buffalo with all breeds of cattle and
the results are most satisfactory.
The polled Angus stock, when crossed
with the buffalo, produces magni6-
cent animal. The fur is finer and
closer than that of the buffalo, and
the meat is sweet and wholesome.
We are procuring as many of these
animals as possible, but will not put
any on the market for several years
yet. We are not selling any buffalo,
either, for the reason that we need
them all at present. We receive let
tiers every day from museums, parks
and shows, wanting them in all
quantities, and though we might
dispose of one or two singly we have
no pairs to sell.
"a good buffalo hide is worth 500
now in the market, and heads bring
from 5000 to $500 when mounted,
and the value of these is steadily in.
creasing, so that buffalo breeding is
as good an investment as real estate.
Our herd is the only one l know
about of anv size. There is a small
one in the Texas Panhandle, and
these with the few that roam in the
National Park, are the sole remnants
OF the thousands which roamed the
prairies but few years ago" Ana.

they were about giving up when
something in one OF the corners at
tracted their attention. Bringing
their lights to bear on this particular
corner, they discovered door, but
so carefully was it disguised that it
might easily have been passed over
in cursary examination. This
door was not locked. When it was
opened it let in a strong current OF
air.
Passing through this door, the
two men saw stretching before them
long narrow passage, barely
broad enough to permit them to
walk abreast. and scarce high
enough to permit them to walk up-
right. They proceeded cautiously,
each with revolver in one hand
and holding a lantern in the other.

CKentucky's First Republican Governor,D
makes him very strong presidential star.
Mckinley is the embodiment of the pro
tective principe, and Bradley's election is
a triumph for sound money. In Ohio both
parties were in substantial agreement on
finances, and outside of the local questions
the Wilson Brice tariff bill was the chief
issue of the campaign.
"In Kentucky both parties in conven-
tion endorsed sound money. On the stump
Bradley was even more outspoken for a
gold standard than his party platform,
while Hardin openly repudiated the utter
ances of his party and proclaimed the
gospel of free and unlimited coinage of
silver in every speech. Mckinley and
Bradley stand for protection and honest
money, the issue upon which next year 5
national campaign must be won. Nc
Kinley and Bradley as candidates forpresi-
dent and vice president would obliterate
Mason and Dixon's line from the political
map and make the complete reconciliation
of the north and south, and thus nation
alize our politics.

Ex-Consul General News Suggestion for
National Republican Ticket.
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. S.-The success of
Bradley in Kentucky has led John c.
New, ex-consul general to London, to re-
mark that he was now an available candi-
date for the vice presidency, and in ex-
planning his position he says: ''Ihe cleo
ton of Colonel Bradley as governor Of
Kentucky-the first practical break of the
solid south-argues the fact that sectional
lines no longer, rs between north and
south, divide the people upon issues that
are of national importance
"It would be an exceedingly fitting time
for the next Republican convention to
nominate for vice president the first IAN
who has succeeded in successfully contest
ing a race in a southern state for Republi-
AN principles. He made his canvas on
national views of the tariff and of a sound
money system acceptable to the whole
country. 1t is also exceedingly fitting,
therefore, that the Republican party, in its
next campaign, should take up such a
man as w. o. Bradley, who has the conf
dence of his people, for vice president.
"The center of population in the United
States is within few miles of Indian
apolis, looking over towards the kentucky
border. The logic of geography as well Il,
of recent events points to the election OF
Harrison as president and Bradley rs vice
president"
