The authorities of the University OF
Gollingen, have decided that hereafter
all women who wish to pursue their
studies at the university must either
show by satisfactory testimonials. or
prove by an informal examination "a So
called colloquium), that they have the
necessary preparation. The professors
will then make a report to the pro-
rector, who will give his decision. Other
German universities are adopting similar
regulations, the object of which is to ex-
clude women who are not fitted to enter
with profit to themselves or with honor
to the institution. These more rigid rules
are, 1t is said, regarded as a sign Of pro-
gress in the matter of higher female edu-
cation in Germany, since they indicate a
tendency to place women on the same
footing as men in their relations to the
university.

FACTS FOR THE FARM.

Corn, shorts and skim milk make q
combination that will produce q high
grade of pork. Wheat may replace the
shorts. These foods assist in producing
flesh so rapidly as to enable the feeder
to dispose of his pigs to advantage
when young, yet of good weight.
For reliability and constancy of
bloom nothing can beat the peony,
perennial phioXes in different colors,
the Siberian and Iceland poppies, fu-
schias, hollyhocks, foXgloves, dianthus
garden. Any gaps that occur during
the summer can always be filed up
with such ANIMALS as zinnias, French or
African marigolds, alyssum, mignon-
cite, portulaca and asters.
There is nothing better to make
young pigs grow than a patch of peas,
into which they may be turned an hour
or SO every day until the peas become
so scarce that all day is required to sat
isfy them. They furnish the same kind
of nutrition that milk does, and at q
much cheaper rate. When thus fed
their frames will grow rapidly, and
they can be given corn feed later in the
season without the injury that comes
to hogs summered on grass and clover
and suddenly changed to corn.
The fact that the country is short on
swine and long on corn renders it es-
pecially desirable this year that grow
ers should feed and care for the pigs in
way that will develop them rapidly
and perfectly. The tendency is to feed
the growing pigs too much corn. Some
corn is all right, but the ration should
contain some more nitrogcneus food to
give q good development of bone and
muscle; then when you come to fatten
on corn you will have something to
build on.-Rural World.

Detective Hartly, prowling through
the East end in search of such thieves
and transgressors as he might with
dignity escort to the "lock-up," was
turning a corner, when he suddenly be-
came aware that on the opposite side
of the street a familiar and not exact
ly pleasing figure was ambling along at
n rapid rate, with something peculiar
in the bulgy appearance of his coat.
There's that Crooked Jem again."
said the detective, to himself. He cast
a suspicious eye at Jem's pockets, pulled
at his eycbrow-which was way he
had-and then beckoned to a policeman
to follow him.
When he was within an inch or two
of the said pockets he suddenly clapped
the unsuspecting Jem on the shoul-
der-so suddenly that Jem's jaw fell,
and he made an abrupt, half undecided
movement as If TO flee from the wrath
of the law.
"Now, them" said Hartly, severely,
none of that. On with the handouts.
And, Snaith, you come here and take
his arm"
Jem looked from one to the other in
something like dismay.

THE SILENT MARCH.


When the march begins in the morning
And the heart and the foot are light,
When the flags are all a-flutter
And the world is gay and bright,
When the bugles lead the column
And the drums are proud in the van,
It's shoulder to shoulder, forward, marchI
All! let him lag who can!
For it's easy to march to music
With your comrades all in line,
And you don't get tired. you feel inspired.
And life IS draught divine.
When the march drags on at evening
And the color bearers gone,
When the merry strains are silent
That piped so brave in the dawn,
When you miss the dear old fellows
Who started out with you,
When it's stubborn and sturdy, forward,
march!
Though the ragged lines are few.
Then it's hard to march in silence,
And the road has lonesome grown,
And life is a bitter cup to drink;
But the soldier must not moan.
And this is the task before us,
A task we may never shirk,
In the gay time and the sorrowful time
We must march and do our work
We must march when the music cheers US,
March when the strains are dumb,
Plucky and valiant, forward, march!
And smile, whatever may come.
For, whether life's hard or easy,
The strong man keeps the pace,
For the deSolate march and the silent
The strong soul finds the grace.
