for the ticket and hurry back for the

why, 1 never once thought of

American Colleges a Century Ago.

The Chicago NetOS says that one
hundred years ago Dartmouth Col
lege consisted of wooden building
one hundred and fifty feet long, fifty
feet wide. and thirty-six feet high.
English grammar and arithmetic
were textbooks in the sophomore
year.
Princeton, the great Presbyterian
college, was huge stone edifice, its
faculty consisting of a president,
vice-presideut, one professor, two
masters of languages and seventy
students.
Harvard University had four
brick buildings; the faculty con-
sisted of president and six profess
sors, and in its halls thronged one
hundred and thirty to one hundred
and sixty students.
Yale boasted Of one brick building
and chapel 6" with steeple one
hundred and twenty five feet high. {"
The faculty was president, a pro-
tessor of divinity and three tutors.
The greatest Episcopal college in
the United States was William and
Mary's. 1t was under royal and
State patronage, and was therefore
more substantially favored than most
Of our American schools. At this
time, 1t is said in a curious old State
report, "the college was a brick
building Of three stories, like brick
kiln," andlhad thirty gentlemen stu
dents. The students lodged i'm dor
mitories, ate at the commons"
and were satisfied with what we
would consider prison diet. Break
fast, small can of coffee, a biscuit
and about an ounce of butter. Din
ner, one pound of meat, two pota-
toes and some vegetables. Supper,
bread and milk. The only uniim-
tied supply furnished was cider,
which was passed in a can from
mouth to mouth. The days were
spoken of as boil day, roast day,

Studying Music.

~ don't thinl; shall take music les
sons this autumn, said young girl to
the writer not long ago "You see |
haven't a particle CT talent, and so,
what is the use:" There is just this use
Admitting that you can never learn to
play as we'll as the most unpretending
professional or those who play by ear,
which latter is to be doubted, ii musical
education is valuable, inasmuch as it
will teach you what to enjoy and how
to enjoy it whenever you have the OPP
pcrtunity to hear good music. To those
who think of music as only Il succession
Of plcasurable sounds it may not seem
worth while for those having no talent
to study the rules governing compost
ton. But if you once learn that music
is as exact a science as mathematics,
that there is an exquisite beauty in the
development of All idea, the working
out of Il musical problem, apart from
the poetry suggested by the melody or
even the harmony, you have found the
key to Il fresh world of never failing
delight. Though you may never be able
to play one page satisfactorily to your
friends or to yourself, you will have
learned music in such " way that you
will not regret the tine spent i'll It's &C.

Fur.

Fur, after some years wear, will look
much improved if cleaned with new
bran previously heated in the oven
Rub the hot bran we'll into the fur with
piece of flannel, shake the fur to re-
move all particles, and then brush thor
oughly. The fur will clean more easily
if the lining and wadding are first re-
moved, but such removal is not abso-
lutely needful. The fiat, oily look which
mars the appearance of the neck portion
of furs long in use is mostly if not
wholly removed by the means of hot
bran. Rub the fur the wrong way, this
meaning i'll this particular instance the
right way.

thing in the lighting, or the desk, or

could be altered. So Fanny kemble sim

MOTHER NATURE.

MOTHER NATURE.
Nature, the gCntlcst mother,
Impatient of no child,
The foeblcst or the waywardest
Her admonition mild
In forest and the hill
By traveller is heard
Restraining rampant squirrel
Or too impotuous bird.
How fair her conversation
a summer afternoon,
Her household, her assembly,
And when the sun goes down
Her voice among the aisles
Incites the timid prayer
OF the minutest cricket,
The most unworthy flower.
When all the children sleep,
She turns as long away
AS will suffice to light her lamps,
Then. bending from the sky,
With infinite affection
And intinitcr care,
Her golden finger OH her lip,
Wills silence everywhere.

A BOYS SILLY CHATTER.
San juan Index Insists That Judge
Laughiin should Hold Court for the
Purpose Of Blowing in Money
No business on the San
Juan Docket.

As yet the matter of holding term of
court here this fall is very indefinite, and
it now looks as though Judge LaughlIn
his august presence this year. 1t is pos
sible that he may hold special term yet
this fall, but from present indications,
hardly probable. And the taxpayers of
this county are to be thus denied the use
of any part of the funds now in the hands
of the county treasurer which are set
apart solely for the purpose of defraying
the expenses of the district court. If no
court is held it will be a very great in
Justice to our people from the fact that
just that much money is taken out of
circulation and can not become current
again until term of court is held. If
the money could be used for any other
purpose then the matter of holding court
would be of little concern to our people.
San Juan Index.
The foregoing must have been written
by a silly boy without investigation or
thought and slipped into the Index with
out the knowledge of the editor. AS a
matter of fact there is so little business
on the docket for San Juan county that it
is seriously Questionable whether Judge
Laughlin would be justified in holding
term OF the district court in that county
at present.
The docket of San Juan county only
shows three civil cases of minor moment
as follows: Stevenson vs.. Woods, ditch
Injunction case, in which the master has
made his report, and the judge can finally
determine the matter at any time In
chambers; Prewitt vs.. Simmons, an at
tachment suit in which there has been no
service, and suit which has recently
been filed, but which is not returnable
till the next regular term.
On the criminal side of the docket there
are seventeen cases, in which warrants
have long been issued, but in which no
arrests have been made, as the defend
ants have left the country. Two of these
cases date back to October, 1887, and
simply cumber the docket.
In the light of these facts, and in view
of numerous protests from prominent
taxpayers of the county against the
waste of the peoples money that term
of court would occasion, no sensible per-
son will be surprised that Judge Laugh
lin doubts the wisdom and expediency of
holding term of court in San Juan
county this fall.
The contention of the Index that Judge
Laughlin should hold term for the sole
purpose Of "blowing in" the money in
the county's court fund is too frivolous
to merit serious consideration.

Nearly Nlnety-ave Miles an nour.

CAPE MAY, July Boa test of the Hol-
man speeding truck was made on the
South Jersey railroad between this city
and Winslow Junction yesterday after
noon. The train to which the locomotive
was attached developed a speed of ninety
four and eleven-twelfths miles an hour in
a run of twelve and one-eight miles. The
time consumed in making the distance
was eight and a quarter minutes, This
was accomplished on a flfty-six pound
rail, with sand ballasted track. There
were three curves and a railroad crossing
in the stretch of track over which the loco
motive was speeded.
