An expert has recently discovered that
there is a steady increase in the appe-
tites of the students at Vassar. 1t has
been said that brain development is usu-
ally followed by a deterioration of ply
sique, and that where the muscles are
given special attention, the mind is not
brought up to a state of high education.
TO find that the Vassar girls of the pc
Rod are not mentally as bright and pol
ished as were those of any other period,
while they have stronger limbs and better
appetites Indeed, it would seem that
the system Of educating muscles as well
as mind was a movement for the great
benefit Of future generations.

GOOD WORDS FOR JESSE RosERrs

We publish below sketch of Capt
j. Nj. Roberts taken from The In
dependent, of Waverly, Ia. As
many Wisconsin comrades knew Mr.
Roberts well, the following may be
interesting to them:
If there has been any one citizen
who has labored intelligently, UNI
ceasingly and continuously more than
another toward the advancement and
development of this portion of Bremen
county, doubtless that person is Cant.
Roberts. During his % years resi-
dence in Plainfield he has been a de-
voted advocate of progress improved
business facilities municipal organiza-
ton etc; and he and his co-laborerS
are Dcginnlng to see and feel the re-
SUITS OF their perseverance MIR.
Roberts birthplace was in Indiana.
butWisconsin claimed him as a citizen
in an early day. At the breaking out
OF the war he was found in the ranks
OF the 9TH Wisconsin infantry. Go
ing out as private, he returned
home with brevet captaincy and
serious wound which was received in
the line of action at Five Forks on
April /, 1865. The little leaden mes
senger which did the work is in the
possession of Mr.. Roberts, shaving
been secured by him after the sur
geons removed it. In 1871, Capt.
Roberts took up his residence in
Plainfield, and has always taken an
active part in passing local events.
de is now serving his twentieth con-
secutive year as justice of the peace
and notary public, is city recorder
and was unopposed candidate for re-
election. In the spring of 1889 he
disappointed postmaster by President
Harrison and served with credit and
fidelity until. February 1895. when a
democratic successor was appointed.
He has served as Post commander and
held numerous offices of honor and
trust. Capt. Roberts has been especi-
ally active in behalf of war veterans
and many pensioners are indebted to
him for their recognition by the
powers at Washington. He was
especially energetic in the matter OF
municipal organization, and in all
progressive work he is found to the
fore.

The Girls and the Prince.

When the Prince OF Wales was in
America, in 1860, he was a young
man of nineteen and unmarried.
Naturally, the American girls were
deeply interested in him, and period
of the most romantic excitement
ensued in all the cities. Every subter-
fuge to dance with the young Prince
was resorted to, and members of his
party were bribed to arrange a waltz
with the Heir Apparent; the most
unusual expedients were resorted to
by girls. His baggage was kissed as
it was put aboard the cars, and when
he left hotel room women would
rush in and carry away in bottles the
water in which he had washed his
face. Church people forgot them
selves and stood on the cushions Of
the pews IN order to see the Royal
visitor. On every hand it was a sea-
son of excitement, and balls, dinners,
fetes and receptions ruled. One of
the Princes party was Stephen Fiske,
the journalist, who was delegated by
the elder James Gordon Bennett, of
Tile Nea0 York HeraLa, to remain
with the Prince while he was in Ameri-
ca. Naturally, Mr.. Fiske saw all the
incidents of His Royal Highness' tour.
Taking a liking to the American
journalist the young Prince saw that
he was present upon all occasions.
Now Mr.. Fiske has written out the
whole story, and it will form the Janu-
AIRY lnstallment of TIE LadIeS' Home
Journals series of "Great Personal
Events" Illustrations of some of the
great scenes have been made, and
these will be given with the article in
