also under IRE Tor failing to send back
the main body OF its students TO the
farms. The friends OF the college
have prepared an answer which they
consider strong one, but which stu
admits the truthfulness Qf the main
charge. 1t appears that of the 676
graduates who have been sent out
since the organization Of the institute
In 1857 only 150 assumed the occupa>
ton of farming. But the "a who be-
came teachers and workers In agr1cui-
thral colleges and experiment stations,
the 20 who became civil and mining en-
gineers, and 80 others who became me-
chanics, chemists in foods and feruiiz-
ers, etc, are held to have adopted pur-
suits In keeping with the objects OF the
college making 4S per cent. of all grad
yates who can be so classified. On the
other hand, over one-half took up oc-
equations which were foreign to the
main purpose of the college-S5 teach
ers In non-agricultural schools, "a law
yers, 81 merchants, clerks, etc., 30
physicians, IL druggists, ii editors. IL
bankers, ministers. 2 artists, and SO
on. OF 925 non-graduates heard from
only 161 took up farming, while the
large body Of the rest went into such
occupations as have just been enumer-
ated. There would certainly seem to
be ground for asserting that the agrl-
cultural college tends to educate It's
students away from rather than toward
the farms.

Registering Sunshine.

The Photograph, although not OF re-
cent invention, is now coming more
generally into use since the importance
Of registering the number of hours OF
daily sunshine becomes more popularity
appreciated A recent publication or
Professor Kremser estimates the num-
Der Of photographs now in use at about
fifty in Great Britain, thirty in Ger
many, twenty-five in France, eighteen
in Austria, sixteen in Italy and twelve
in Switzerland. The apparatus is auto
matte Sunshine registers itself
through lenses, for as soon as the sun
comes out of the clouds sufficiently 1T
will burn paper underneath the lens,
leaving black mark thereon. Since
the hours of the day are marked on
paper it will be apparent with approx
mate exactness how many hours each
day the sun really shone.
The results are very surprising in
deed. For instance, the daily average
Of sunshine for several years amounted
in Scotland to 2 hours; Ireland IL
hours; England, 4 hours; Germany,
IL hours; France, 8 hours; Switzer-
land, IA hours; Austria, g hours, and
Spain, Z 1-2 hours. 1t is shown that
there is more sunshine in the south
than there is in the north, and also
more in the east of Europe than in the
west Near mountains the frequency
of fogs lessons the hours of sunshine.
Thus the observatory on Ben Nevis
shows less than ID hours, almost an
T.. L..
The formation of smoke near great
cities and manufacturing centres also
lessons the hours Of sunshine. The in
terror of London shows but IL hours
in Greenwich, and 4 to A IL hours
elsewhere in southern England.-Chi-

Reform in Sleeping Methods.

The rampant reformer of the day,
says an article quoted in Current Liter
AZURE, has now invaded bedrooms. The
orthodox fashion Of making up the bed
so as to slope gently toward the feet,
and having a good-sized pillow or two
under the head, is all wrong. A prom
inent French doctor, NJ. Wilhelm Fisch-
err, is responsible for this statement. He
asserts that after long series of ex-
periments he has proven conclusively
that to sleep in bed prepared in the
old-fashioned way is simply to induce
ailments Of all kinds. You must have
your head on level with or lower than
your feet. If pillows are to be used,
they must be under your feet instead Of
under your head. The result, he
claims will be amazing, being a sure
cure for insomnia, as well as a proven
tive for the nightmare. DIR. Fischer
says further that sleep in this new posi-
ton, Twill always be intellectual, be-
cause more profound; the entire nerv-
Gus system ameliorated, while people
inclined to lung and kidney troubles
will be vastly benefited by sleeping in
this position" To prevent any inconve-
nience by too sudden change, the pill
lows should be gradually reduced and
finally placed under the feet.

Favorite HYMNS in England.

A writer in the Philadelphia MethO-
dist gives some interesting facts con-
corning the hymns most popular in
England to-day. He says:
"There has been some attempt to
learn the most popular hymns in Eng
land recently, and the result was an
nounced not long since. 1t came about
through Mr.. w. II. Stead's decision to
compile hymnal to be sold for pen
ny, and from an inquiry started by The
Sunday at Home. The voting at The
Sunday at Home Office resulted in CIV
ing the first place to Rock Of Ages Cleft
for Me- the second place was won by
abide With Me- and the third by 'Je-
sus, Lover Of My Soul
1.-THE Prince of Wales wrote to Mr..
Stead that his favorite hymn is "Near-
err, My God, to Thee This hymn was
written by Unitarian, Mrs. Sarah f.
Adams, in 1871. The Duke of Argyle
prefers % God Of Bethel, by Whose
Hand Thy People Still are Led This
was written by Doddridge. General
Sir Evelyn Woods favorite is, Lead,
Kindly Light and Mr.. Justin McCar-
thy's is the same. In The Sunday at
Home plebiscite this hymn occupies the
fifteenth place. 1t was written by
Cardinal Newman, but was written
twelve years before he left the Church
of England, in 1845."

WEIRD FAMILY LEGEND.
The Codsmds Said to Have Been Strange
w Swallowed.

Mr.. III. w. Lucy, in his article "From
Behind the Speakers Chair" in the
Strand Magazine, tells a creepy story
in connection with the Goldsmid fam
| lily. For more than hundred years, it
was said. fatal spell hung over the
Goldsmids. Toward the close Of the
eighteenth century there died in Lon
don the Rabbi de Falk, who enjoyed
high reputation as seer. He left to
Aaron Gildsmid, great-grandfather of
the late member for st. Pancras, a
sealed packet, with injunctlons that it
was to be be carefully preserved but
never opened. The old Dutch mer-
chant who founded the branch Of the
Goldsmid family in this country was
warned that as long as this order was
obeyed, so long would the Goldsmids
flourish like a young bay tree. If it
were disregarded, ill-fortune would for
all time dog the footsteps of the race.
Aaron Goldsmid kept the packet in
violate for some years. One day, curl
Osity becoming ungovernable, he opened
ii, When his servant came to call him
he was found dead.
Aaron Goldsmid left a large portion
Of his fortune to two sons, Benjamin
and Abraham. These went into busi-
ness on the London Stock exchange,
and vastly increased their patrimony.
Benjamin founded Naval college, and
performed many acts of less known
generosity. He lived long, but the
curse Of the cabahst overlook him.
Enormously rich, the delusion that he
would die pauper fastened upon him,
and to avoid such conclusion Of the mat
ter, he, on April Is, 1908, being in his
fifty-fifth year, died by his own hand.
Two years later his brother, Abraham,
being concerned In a ministerial loan
Of fourteen millions, lost his nerve,
Numbered and bungled, sank into a
condition of hopeless dependency,
and on September %, 1910, day on
which n sum of half million was due
from him, he was found dead in his
room.
The fortunes Of the family were re-
stored by Isaac Goldsmid, nephew of
the hapless brothers and grandson of
the founder of the English house. Like
all the GOldsmids, Isaac was a man
of generous nature and philanthropic
tendencies. With him 1t seemed that
the curse Of the cabalist had run it's
course. 1T Is true that before he died
he lapsed into a state Of childishness.
But he had at the time passed the limit
of age of fourscore years, after which,
as one Of the kings Of his race wrote
centuries back, mans days are but
labor and sorrow. Isaac Goldsmid was
succeeded in his fortune and his baro-
netcy by his son Francis, on whom the
curse of the cabalist seemed to fall
when he was fatally mangled between
the engines and the rails at Waterloo
station.

The General in His Own Country.

Sir Evelyn Wood. V. c., tells this
story. An entertainment was given in
his honor at his Norfolk home on his
return from Egypt. Among the crowd
assembled on the occasion was the wife
of an agricultural laborer. She was
very eager to see Sir Evelyn Wood, and
n bystander pointed him out to her.
"What!' she exclaimed in amazement,
"that little man General Wood! Why,
my avid man could clout (thrash) him
easily" Never" said Sir Evelyn as
he concluded his tory, chad felt more
Inundated In my life"

CASTLES.

dAere's building boom in Nowhere
land
It's the one that comes each year,
When the spring Is new
And the skies grow blue
And the south winds whispers cheer,
With Fancy as architect we've planned
Oils charges are small but fair
improvements great
For each vast estate
And our castles In the air.
IT'S only minute we need to see
The minarets and towers
In beauty rise
Meath our very eyes
And these treasures all are ours.
Your likes may be tickle and strange
and free,
For easily you repair
The wreck that falls
When the old charm pals
In your castles in the air.
When the golden rivers Of twilight
start
And the scarlet sun sinks low,
It's journey slight
To that land Of light
Where the maybe blossoms blow.
And it's only the friend with the honest
heart
Who has followed through III and
fair
Who can be your guest
AS you dream and rest
In your castle in the air.

rhirty.Nlne Miles of Literature.

The shelves of the reading room and
iron galleries constructed around 1t,
which are known as the New Library,
in the British Museum, all told extend
TO more than eight and twenty miles;
those in the rest Of the department to
eleven miles. 1t may be noticed that
this total Of thirty-nine miles is nearly
the same as that of the shelving of the
French National Library, according to
recent calculations. The prospect Of in
crease of this milage may be reviewed
crease Of this mileage may he viewed
with comparative equanimity In con-
nection with the storage of the ordinary
octavos Of literature; but when one con-
templates the rapid growth Of news

deepened by the soft, dreamy atmo
sphere Of the tropics and the sweet
odor of tropical vegetation. At the
same time the more modern portion Of
the city Is well built, and presents q
dignified and harmonious appearance.
The Spanish influence Is everywhere
apparent, and modified classic archi-
lecture prevails. The houses are built
chiefly Of stone and then plastered, this
latter work being Of good finish and
durable quality. The business people
live over their own stores, the two up
per stories being used for domestic pur-
poses. The entrance to the better class
Of homes Is often freely decorated with
Moorish colored tiles, and stenciling is
employed with good effect upon the
outside walls.
In the older quarters the streets are
narrow and very tortuous and the
houses only one story in height. There
are no sidewalks to speak Of, and as
the great heat necessitates the win
dows being kept continually open, they
are protected by prison-like Iron graft
AhS6s HO intCiiOI VI u OuOah hOihC,
even among the better class, is very
simple In Its appointments. The ex-
cessive heat and the prevalence Of in
sects necessitates the use of as little
furniture as possible, and no hangings
or darperies are to be seen.
The street scenes are novel and often
ludicrous, as when, for instance, the
milk seller drives the COW and calf
(the latter muzzleD up to the door and
milks the amount of his purchase in
the presence of the customer and liter
ally at his doorstep. The favorite lux
ury Is "barquillo," thin cake made Of
flour spiced with cinnamon. The bar
quillo vender goes through the streets
beating quick-step march on musi-
cal triangle. Travel Is mainly carried
on in "volantas," which are hired at
the rate of 90 cents for the trip.
Whether the trip be for two or three
blocks or the whole length Of the city,
the price is the same. The various
promenades, drives and gardens are
exceedingly fine, and no visitors should
miss seeing the botanical gardens and
palm tree avenues of Los Molinos.
1t is difficult to get an exact estimate
Of the population or the relative pro-
portion Of its different elements. 1t is
broadly divided into the Insulares or
native Cubans of Spanish descent, the
Penlnsulares or imported Spanish ele-
ment, which is made up mainly of office
holders, merchants and SPECTATORS,
who do not and never intend to make
Cuba their permanent home, and lastly
the mixed races, such as the mulatto,
negro and Chinese. 1t is roughly esti-
mated that there are 100000 residents
of Spanish extraction. 100000 colored
people and 10000 Chinese coolies.

A miser died very suddenly. The
doctor who was called In to certify his
death appeared to have his doubts
about the case.

throughout the whole island, but more
particularly in the western half.
The cities Of Cuba are fully as pic
turesque In their way as the surround
ing country. BY far the most important
OF these is Havana, which Is the capt.
tai and the chief seaport Of the island.
1t Is admirably situated, both for mill
tary and commercial purposes, on the
shores Of land-locked harbor, the en-
trance to which Is narrow and tortuous
and defended by two forts, known as
the Moro and the Punta castles. The
most celebrated of these Is Moro
castle, which is situated on the north
eastern side Of the entrance 1t is in
the courtyard Of this fortress that
many Cuban patriot has suffered
death for his country
The harbor Is one Of the finest in the
world, and could float thousand ships
Of the largest size Unfortunately, it
Is bein contaminated by the discharge
into 1t Of the whole of the sewage of
Havana. and. as there Is not sufficient
scour of the tide to carry it out to sea,
the filth is constantly accommodating.
The result will certainly be disastrous
to the city, unless some system of dl-
rect drainage to the sea be carried out.
Immediately upon landing the visitor
Is impressed by the strange novelty Of
the city and its inhabitants. There is
romantic air Of mediaevalism about
the older quarters Of the city; he IL

Spanish lost about four thousand men
in the first years operations, but more
than three-fourths Of this mortality
was caused by yellow fever.
As has been announced, the EXPOSE

SIGN of Tennessee as State will not be
