Dr. Ihwing's Logic.

PORTLAND, July 10.-The second days
session Of the convention Of the American
Teachers Institute of Instruction was
largely attended. Rev DR.. Thwing, pres
ident of the Western Reserve university
and Adelbort college, spoke upon "What
More Can the American College Do TO
Help American Lifc?" DR.. Thwing thinks
that all American colleges devote too
much attention TO athletics, and that the
manner of living among collegians Is too
luxurious. True patriotism should also
be taught, and the students should be in
structed to understand the democratic
principles on which our government IL
based and live up to these principles. DR..
Thwing also counseled that something be
done to cheaper the cost OF education, so
that every poor boy and girl could take
university courses without their parents
making too many sacrifices

 It Is reported that George Meredith, the English writer, has almost entirely lost his hearing.
 William Watson smokes clay pipes, re- sembling in this respect the late Lord Ten nyson. Ho uses thcm but once, getting a fresh pipe each time he wishes to smoke.
 Nordau, the dogoneratophobist, is utter ly indifferent as to dress, but very pArticu- lar in the care of his hair and beard, both of which arc perfectly snow white, though he Is barely 45.
 Few people who know Sir Walter Besant believe that he can be 57 years old. His plump face and clear complexion and his very thick and very brown hair and beard make him look a much younger man.
 James Whitcomb Riley says that much of tho dialect poetry in tho newspapers to which his name is attached was not writ ten by him. The editors have n way of crediting him with any unidentified verse of the kind they como across.
 Du Maurier's full name Is George Louis Palmella Busson Du Maurier. His real family name Is Busson, the Du Maurier coming from the Chateau le Maurier, in Anjou on Main. His mother was an Eng fish woman, and he was born in little house on the Champs Elyssas on NArch. q 1884.

 FooCHow, Aug. 20.-It is reported on good authority that the Chinese govern ment has refused to allow the American and British consuls, Mir. J. c. Hixson and Mir. k. w. Mansfield, who accompanied the commission appointed to investigate the recent massacres of missionaries and their families at Kucheng. to make any investigation into the circumstances of the massacre.
 LONDON, Aug. 20.-The Times has a dispatch from Hongkong confirming tho Foo Chow dispatch containing the report that the Chinese government has refused to allow tho American and British consulS to make any investigation into the Ku- chong massacre. The Times dispatch adds that soldiers arc enaged in plunder- ing the people, who feel that the foreign CTS arc the cause of their suffering, and that therefore tho latter should be do stroycd. Furtbcr incendiary placards have been posted at Canton.
 HONGKoNG, Aug. 20.-Tho prcfect sent with the commission to kuchcng, together with the Chinese official at kuchCng, has refused to allow the presence of tho con suls during the examination of tho prison CTS Tho matter has been referred to the viccroy. Serious trouble is feared.
 WASHINGToN, Aug. 20.-Tho officials of tho Chinese legation have no information throwing any light on tho reported refusal of tho home government to permit the members of the mixed British and Amer ican commission to investigate tho Ku- cheng massacre. In fact the legation has not yet been appraised officially of the ap- pointmcnt of tho commission.
 If the reported action of the Chinese be correct, it is apparently not matter of very great surprise to the officials of the state department here. They attribute any refusal of tho local authorities to per init tho commission to investigate the troubles to the we'll known desires of the Chinese to conduct such inquiries by their own people, the dislike to having any in tcrfrrencc by outsiders and to tho general suspicion with which they look upon for eiSncrS.
