DR.. McBryde, president of the Virginia
Mechanical and Industrial College, has
been spoken Of as a suitable man for
president Of Clemson, If he could be in
duced to accept. In selecting a presi-
dent for this institution administrative
ability and q thorough knowledge of the
duties OF the position should he con-
sdered Indispensable. DIR. McBryde's
long experience as an educator and COL
lege president renders him peculiarly
competent for Clemson's president, and
he will conduct the affairs of the college
with the SHINE consciousness that
has characterized every act OF his life.

the barometric fluctuations, later set

ORIGIN OF THE WORD "scHooN-
FRn

The first vessel Of the schooner rig is
said to have been built in Gloucester
about the year 1713 When she went off
the stocks into the water bystander
cried out: "Oh, how che scoons!" The
builder instantly replied, "a schooner
she be-" And from that time vessels
thus rugged have gone by that name.
The word "scoon" is popularity used in
some parts of New England to denote
the act Of making stones skip along the
surface Of the water. The Scottish
'scon" means the same thing. Schoon-
err appears to have been originally writ
ten "scooner."

Being somewhat of a mechanical turn
of mind, Mr.. Hyde concluded to expert
ment. The result of his tinkering and
thinking is the mechanical contrivance
which hourly turns him over without
awakening him from his slumbers, and
which he says works so charmingly that
his paralysis with accompanying sleep
lessness is a thing of the past. The
frame on which the mattress rests
hangs from the bedstead by means Of
pinions, one at the head and the other
at the foot. The frame is kept in posi-
ton by being secured at the sides to a
clock-like apparatus with cogs and
levers to tilt the mattress frame, the
motion of the rocking being governed
by the clock and spring apparatus. The
fitting of the frame is so nicely gradu-
ated that the sleeper is unconscious OF
the change, but continues undisturbed
in his position during the hour to the
right or the left side as the case may be-

Gated them, too. A boy such as that
deserves to succeed. Such a character,
by the way, never neglects school. By
the time he was 20 he bad earned an
academic education and had begun the
study of law. he was admitted to the
bar and had begun practice when i'll
health compelled him to retire from
that profession. All this occurred in
Ohio, where Gen. Aiger was born in

When the war came, It found young
Alger in the lumber line at Grand Rap
ids Mich, doing pretty well. But the
war swallowed up his savings and he
enlisted as a private in a regiment of
Michigan cavalry. In one year he had
grown up to be a major. Wounded, i'm
prisoned, escaping, joining a new regi-
ment, promoted to lieutenant colonel
cy, then made colonel, he lived with
many mishaps through a career as bril-
liant as that of any soldier in the army.
He came out of the conflict a major
general, full of scars. His career as a
citizen since the war has made Michigan
proud of him. The remembrance of his
early struggles has made him tender

war there are few that know him, es-
pecially his old friends in arms, who will
not agree that he may be said to be "all
