f. II. Thompson, of Chicago, is
in the city this week, represent
ing the University Association.
The object of the Association is
to interest the people in the pur-
suit of useful knowledge, and to
bring to their homes and firesides
the results of profound study and
investigation by trained specialists
in the different branches taught by
them in the prominent colleges
and universities of the country
The plan is carried out by course
of instruction, carefully prepared
by eminent college and university
professors, in science, biography,
and recent discoveries. These
courses of instruction are pre-
pared monthly and mailed to all
members ofthe Association. Asso-
citation classes are formed and
some member of the class is chosen
as instructor. 1t possesses all tn
advantages of the Chautauqua
course, with the additional advan-
tage of being much cheaper to the
members of the association. Every
thing can be said in favor and
nothing against the plan. Mr..
Thompson is here to explain the
object and advantages of the asso-
citation and can not fail to meet
with q hearty response from our
people.

The Cuban war is not SO

China lately paid Japan

is not civilized up to date!
The truth about it is, the

In Cuba, but the non-combatants
are likely to be exterminated.
Spanish warfare is only a terrible
thing to the weaponless and un

If Mr.. Mckinley were attacked

should be slow to severely criti-
else what seems to be youthful
Outburst of folly from the Editor
of the Journal. The Scriptures
teach that Providence sometimes
withholds its purposes from the
wise and reveals them unto babes
and sucklings. Even this how
ever, will hardly explain the ut
terance. If Providence had any
thing whatever to do with the
paragraph, the explanation is
found in NUMBERS XXII Chapter,

tion. The Abyssinians swoop down
on band of Italian soldiers, kill and
wound as many as they can in a few
minutes and then fade away. While
the fighting lasts it is invariably hand
to hand and the man with o long
sword or lance is as good as the man
with the magazine rife.
The lancers do as much damage as
warriors armed with rifles. The
Italian explorer Crecohl says that he
saw q shield made of hippopotamus
hide pierced like piece of paper by
lance thrown by an Abyssinian at
distance of 200 feet. A compactly
formed band of Italian soldiers afford
an easy target for these lancers, who
appear like magic, shower their lances
and disappear before guns can be
trained on them.
But the Abyssiniars who are fight.
ing for the independence Of their
ancient land are capable of waging
war in the regular way. When fights
of this kind are made it is believed
that the native forces are ofticered by
French and Russian military men, as
tactics are adopted which are known
only to soldiers of the most modern
schools. This seems to have been the
case at Makalle. which was surrend-
cred by the Italians under Colonel
Galliano to Ras Makonnep,, comman'

DR.. s.. Weir Mitchell, in his address
at Radcliffe College the other DAY,
said: some of the requirements for
admission to college should be physi.
cal examination, as it is at Amherst,
and during the college course the girls
should not be allowed to neglect gym
nastic work, since regularity of exer-
else is OF che greatest Importance. But
IL is mistake for women to think that
they can keep up to the standard Of
work that men set for themselves. It
in this disregard of.their natural limi-
tations which causes so many women
to break down. Two very important
results of college training are the
cultivation of the power of quick per-
ception and the habit of using the
English language carefully in every
day life. There should be chair for
daily English in every college. A
most deplorable result of spending
four years in college would be to lose
all interest in the world outside of
books, and to let dressing the mind
keep you from giving care to dressing
the body. May this never happen at
Radcliffe.

Pretty Story Abcut O. Dog.

A doctor at Newark, N. j., tells this
pretty story about dog: According
to the doctors story, the dog came to
his Office last Friday night and barked
and whined piteously at the door. He
attempted to drive the animal away,
but did not succeed. Finally the dog
stole into the Office behind o patient,
and taking position in corner of
the front room, continued to whine.
There were several patients in the
room, but as they exhibited no fear
and the dog gave no sign of ugliness
the doctor did not molest him. When
the patients had been dismissed the
dog, evidently believing it was his
turn, hobbled towards the doctor, still
whining and holding its right foreleg
up. The doctor saw that the leg was
broken and started for his operating
room, the dog following. Securing
splints and other things necessary for
setting the limb, the doctor went to
work and soon had the injured mem-
ber in good shape. Throughout the
operation the dog licked the doctors
hand in a grateful manner, and when
it was finished went behind the Office
stove and lay down. He has since
made the Office his home. New Or

pre-eminent. They Losst of their
civilization, but it is q ragged and
worn out echo of the civilization which
reigned thousands of years ago.
But for all that the Abyssinians are
fighters. 1t is now more than year
since Italy began active hostilities and
to-day the Abyssinians have the upper
hand in the fight. The reason of it is
simple. Italy has about fifteen thou
sand men in the field while King
Menelik II. has about 100000. Only
40, 600 of the latter at the outset were
armed with modern rifles, but he is
receiving fresh supplies all the time,
and his fighting force is steadily i'm.

the factory, and in addition to powder
making, they turn out thousands OF

While Menelik had only 40, 600 rifles
at the beginning of the war, it is be-
