The Undergraduates. Oxford.

AS for the modern undergraduate, as
rule he is the most quiet and peace
able OF mortals and has long since given
up such violent delights as wrenching
of door-knockers, assaulting policemen
or squaring up to bargees. Not that
he is the least deficient in spirit or
courage, as those who have watched
the football matches in the parks will
readily testify. but, except at such
licensed saturnalia as a college Rag"
or bump supper, he keeps his voice
and temper under perfect control and
cultivates dignified repose of manner
which would do credit to a member of
Whites or Arthur's. Anything like
loudness or ostentation is vetoed as bad
taste and it may be added that his dress
is as quiet as his department.

A MURDERER'S LAST MEAL.
The Condemned Is Allowed to Order spe-
cIal Dishes.

The Condemned Is Allowed to Order Spe-
clal Dishes.
It is a pretty generally accepted be-
lief that q condemned murderer eats
hearty breakfast just before he sits
down in the death chair. Officials of
the state prison at Sing Sing say that
while it has been so claimed by those
who were with the doomed persons in
their last hours, the fact is that it is sell
dom man awaiting death asks for any
particular food for his last meal and
that, as a rule, the meal is but sparingly
eaten.
Condemned murderers are accorded
many privileges which are denied to
those convicted Of other crimes. But
burglars, highwaymen, incendiaries and
defaulters consider the end of the n,ur-
derer and never envy the short COIN
forts granted the latter.
Murderers, on their arrival at state
prison, arc placed in what are known
as the CONDEMNED cells" These are
strong iron cages. The occupants are
not required to perform any labor.
They are allowed to exercise in narrow
corridor for one hour daily and mnst
pass the remainder of the time in their
cells. They are put on special rations
for the time of sentence and can order
what they want.
Their meals are prepared in the los
pital, and the bill includes fruit in
abundance, roast beef, ham and eggs,
mutton stew, lamb, eggs in all styles,
fish, pudding, good coffee and tea. AT. er
en appeal has been decided and sentence
reimposed the doomed persons are fed
from the warden's table.-N. Y. World.

RAISING LARGE TREES,
A Simple Practice Successfully Used I
Philadelphia.

Philadelphia.
In the vicinity of Philadelphia they
have a fashion of lifting large trees
where the grade has been raised that
does not seem to be in practice else
where. Two ropes are attached to the
top of the tree so that each can he
drawn in different directions. A trench
is dug around the base of the tree, the
circle being as wide as may seem judi
cious. When dug to the depth desired
the earth is forked away from the bali
on one side, and block set under the
roots as a sort of fulcrum. The rope en-
that side is drawn over the block, and
the result is the lifting up Of the mass
of roots on the opposite side. A. little
earth is then placed under these ele-
waited roots, and the opposite rope
drawn to that side. This lifts the roots
over the block and more earth is placed
there. The tree hY the aid of the OPP
posite ropes is then drawn backward
and forward, more earth being placed
at each turn. In very short time the
tree may be elevated as many feet as
may be desired, standing sn the summit
of firm mound of earth. Trees % to
so feet high, with trunks 10 to IS inches
in thickness, have been lifted in this way
with very little check to future growth

Flies on Shipboard.

Among the things that furnish occu-
patton for the eyes and minds of trans
Atlantic voyagers are the house flies
which accompany the great steamships
from one side of the ocear to the other.
In fine, sunshiny weather the flies buzz
cheerfully about sheltered places on the
decks, and when the vino blows high
they take refuge in the cabins and sa-
looms. The flies often remain with
the ship while in port and return with
her on her next trip, thus crossing the
ocean several times in succession, and
perhaps spending the entire season at
sea.-N. Y. Sun.

Once at his desk, he tore down from
her stills his wooden heroine, while the
fever was hot within him, while the fire
burned.
But what the dickens did she mean
by so much blushing?" he continually
asked himself. "And she was afraid
afraid I'd never notice her. Poor little
thing!"
He smiled until his mouth ached.
He never wrote with such enthusiasm
before. He even let in a verse of the
song he had sung.
"She says I sang it beautifully" he
murmured, and hummed softly the re-
frain, 81 love thee"
Day after day Dexter found sweet
Daisy with the thimble and ruffle,
stitching away, and equally ready to
talk or to listen-the incarnation of
youth and womanliness. She always
greeted him with that smiling, rosy
blush.
"But what the deuce does she blush
about?" he asked himself over and
over. and was always on the watch and
striving to solve the mystery.
"Mr. Dexter" she once told him, 81
don't believe I forget word you ever
tell me. Oh, I am going to astonish
you some day-see if 1 don't''-and she
spread her pretty hands over her burn
ing face.
Dexter stepped about" as lively as
young boy. He took Daisy driving,
and his friend, meeting him, sly look
passed between them.
But letter came for Daisy; she was
called home-all the way to Texas
and she showed openly that it grieved
her to the core.
Just when l am doing so WE'LL" she
pouted, land so happy and content"
Dexter really blushed himself-the
first time in IS years.
There is something I will have to
hurry up, Mr.. Dexter; l have made up
my mind to ask you to- mean want
you to tell me-show me-exactly how
they act when they are truly in love.
l have secret reason-I-"
When Dexter's tanned countenance
showed color, Daisy's famed scarlet.
"Oh, have ! said what should not
l am sure I don't know. Please excuse
my ignorance"
But Dexter, declaring there was moth
ing to excuse, cantered off like young
colt into the fields of romance, and ut
tered all manner Of sweet and foolish
sentiments.
"Ah!" she sighed, you are so good!
I believe I am really learning. What a

you were my gr-"
Lover" Dexter interposed; really
am not far off; Daisy, you have taken

She looked at him with dreamy eyes,
and said, almost Whispering:
II have secret to confess to you, Mr..
Dexter"
Dexter was so frightened that he lit
orally trembled.
! II can't muster courage yet; but you
shall know tomorrow. 1t is-about-
about yourself" and she ran out of the
room.

II am dying to know about this thing

they say would have taught us great
deal. But Sister Angelo found it, and
they said she burnt it with fire that
flashed from her eyes. Mr.. Dexter, will
you tell me what love is?"
presently; want to hear you talk
now"
Daisy flushed rosy red, and Dexter
hooked the scissors over his thumbs.
1t was enhancing 10 see this beautiful
bud unfolding before his very eyes.
She told him about the convent; how
they said their prayers and. asked
Heaven to protect them; how the dear
sisters ignore such world-minded things
as gladden. the heart of women; but her
own soul was filled with yearning for
domestic tenderness, and she longed to
be like real, everyday people and learn
everything and help to do her part in
the world; she was very fond Of chill
dren; she clasped her hands in her ear
nestness and tears filed the blue depths
of her eyes.
And Dexter, like an ancient war horse,
hearing the sound Of the trumpet,
warmed up to the occasion.
He gave the rein to all the sentiment
that surged in his mind. Was not such
a chapter needed to soften his steel-cut
story?
He narrowed his mind and raked his
brain for tender, fanciful language to
paint Dan Cupid. He got Romeo and
Juliet" and ranted as much as he could
without peeping in the book.
"How beautiful" cried Daisy.
He got Tennyson and read until his
voice grew hoarse, and Daisy still Inur-
mured: "Beautiful-oh, how beauti-
full"
She wanted to hear more about love.
Dexter made bold resolve. He knew
g little song that his sister had taught
him ages ago-one only-and he had
worked himself up to so wild and reck
less n pitch that he went to the piano
anu tnuLlpeu OUT SOIne sorI Oh accOn-

and sang six verses of it with chorus
each time.
Daisy sat in a trance and murmured:
"Beautiful-oh, but you do make such
beautiful music!"
Suddenly he looked at his watch and
found that hours had been consumed in
this pathos. He sprang up to go.
"Oh, thank you'll" cried Daisy. 81 will
think over all the beautiful words you
have said. could never have dreamed
it ALL"
"You dear little dimpled darling"
thought Dexter, and ne could scarcely
refrain from saying it aloud.

the knowledge, that so many forms Of
