would probably have had the honor OF
naming the Populist candidate for the
presidency; but as he could not secure
the Democratic endorsement Of Mr..
Ovens candidacy for Congress he had
to step aside for Democrat; and now
thereis fusion and wrangling and bad

said; "One of the requirements for
admission to college should be a 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 the greatest Importance. But
II Is mistake for women to think that
they can keep up to the standard of
work that men set for themselves. 1t
is this disregard of their natural limi.
tatlons 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 depiorablo 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
