Class-Day Programme.

BERKELEY, CAL, March 21.-The State
University class of '96 is discussing the
programme for the class-day exercises.
Some Of the members are in favor of some.
thing of a variation from the usual pro-
gramme of hop, aspectacle, aconcert and
ivy-planting with speeches. The ivy that
is so tremendously planted generally lives
but short time, so that after a few weeks
all that rem aims of what might be a class
memento is a withered twig.
A suggestion is being considered that
the '96 graduates make their class-day ora
tions over some permanent improvement
that will be really memorial OF the class.
Among the schemes mentioned are the
construction of q water fountain or a stone
walk and the donation of some needed
books to the university library.
A plan for future graduates to follow is
the transplantiug of oaks to shade the
students Pathway" as suggested by
attempt to do this, but the matter is receiv-
ing attention from other classes.

occur every year ushered in by little
injudiclous exposure and seemingly tri-
fling symptoms. Beyond this, there are
to-day countless invalids who can trace
their complaints to "colds," which at

as the family of E. G. Moore were sit

good deal startled by hearing a heavy
roaring noise, followed by crash, and
then shock that shook the house and
aroused the whole neighborhood. Upon
investigation, it was found that sled,
loaded with four inch maple planks,
weighing $500 pounds, which had been
left in a neighbours yard, had become
loosened by the storm and had slid down
the hill across the road and into Mr..
Moores front yard. 1t struck the
fence which it laid low, then a shade
tree five inches through where the sled

broke the tree off close to the ground,
and struck with terrible force against
the banking and the side of the house.
1t was lucky escape from a bad acct
dent, for if the sled had turned a few
inches more it would have gone by the
tree and the entire load would have
gone right through the side of the
