PROF. ALVIN r. PARNADy.

A reporter recently called at this famous
seat Of learning and was shown into the
room Of the President. Prof. Alvin P. Rar.
naby. When last seen bv the reporter Prof.
Barnaby Yves in delicate health. TODAY he
was apparently in the best of ealth. In
response to an inquiry the professor said:
ooh, yes, l am much better than for some
time. l am now in perfect health; but my
recover was brought about in rather a pc
culiar way"
Tell me about it, said the reporter.
"Well, to begin at. the beginning" said
the professor, Il studied too hard when at
school, endeavoring to educate myself for
the professions. After completing the com-
mon course l cam here, and graduated
from the theological course. I entered the
ministry. and accepted the charge OF q
United Brethren Church at a small place in
Kent County, Mich. Being Of an ambitious
nature, l applied myself diligently to my
work and studies. In time I noticed that
my health was failing. My trouble was in
digestion, and this with other troubles
brought on nervousness.

and for awhile my health was better, but
my duties Were heavy. and again l found
my trouble returning. This time it was
more severe, and in the winter | became
completely prostrated. l tried various
medicines and different physicians. Finally
l was able to return to my duties. Last

THE POLITE DRUMMER.
A Little Story of How His Politeness
Was Not Wasted.

A group Of travelling men In the
smoking compartment of the Pullman
car were talking over various business
peculiarities, and the subject inciden-
tally took in the exclusiveness of the
heads of certain large and aristocratic
firms. principally in New York, Phil
adelphia and Boston.
"I think / had about the oldest eX-
perience in that line once" remarked
a Philadelphia drummer. when l Iirst
went on the road 1 was only twenty
one, and, of course, man of that age
can't have very great weight or In
fluence, either with the firm or it's Gus,
toners. The result was that I didn't
know a single member of our firm,
even by sight, unless perhaps it was
the Junior member, and all my deal
ings were with the manager, to whom
l looked for position, pay, instruc-
tions and so on.
my first trip out for the house last
ed three months, and in that time l
had unusually good luck, and when
started back to headquarters it was
with a full belief that l had made my
record and the future was in my own
hands. But / wasn't proud, and, thank
the Lord, wasn't fresh; at least, not
too fresh. At breakfast on the train
which would land me at home late in
the afternoon / sat with an elderly
gentleman, who was inclined to listen
&c my political. commercial and other
opinions, and we became quite good
friends before the meal was finished.
After that he took one of my cigars,
which was better than the car stock,
and we continued our acquaintance
Before the day was done I had told
him pretty much all about myself and
had discovered that he was going to
Philadelphia also. Who he was other
than that he had not communicated,
though had given him my name early
in the morning and had told him with
pride that l represented the great firm
of X Y. Y. & Co.
Just before we reached the station
j gave him a special invitation to call
on me at my place of business and 1
would be glad to show him what there
was to be seen in town and pay for a
cold bottle as slight token of my
esteem.
Now if you will be kind enough
10 give me your name said I, so can
leave note, If should have occasion
to, shall be very much obliged.
Ihe old gent smiled in the most
fatherly way.
Certainly he said. my name is
X, and if you will come into my
private office tomorrow morning at 10
o'clock I'd like to talk to you.
well, gentlemen" concluded the
drummer, "you could have knocked me
down with feather when he said that.
but l put up the same good front I'd
been giving him all day. / was on hand
promptly next morning likewise, and
i've felt better ever since, and that
was dozen or fifteen years ago."

special invitation. look over the books
and make any sugg sstion they believed
would materially aid the scholars. Mr..
Thomas called the attention of the
board to the disgraceful ections of a
gang Of boys who infest the vicinity
of No. school. The case was in the
hands of Directors King. Coyne and
Thomas. An agent with patent win
dow curtain, introduced n specimen of
his wares which he guaranteed to be
en- unparalleled remedy for protecting
the eyesight of the pupils. After u
careful consideration the project was
pigeon-holed. The next order of busi-
ness was the report of the teachers in
regard to new books. Mr.. Thomas
moved that the principals report to the
bJard In writing. He afterward with
drew his motion and the board em-
powered the principals to make a ver-
bal report of this suggestion. Profess
sor Theron G. Osborne gave splendid
explanation on the merits of a few
books which in the consensus of opin-
ion of the principals, would be of great
benefit to the scholars that have been
advancing in the highest grades. The
board then wiled away time listening
to the trio IF drummers who were on
hand. Mr.. King offered a motion that
the matter be tabled until the next
meeting which carried by an unani-
nous vote. Mr.. Thomas moved that
the windows In No. / school be screen
ed to protect the school from intrusion.
The motion prevailed. After a little
sparring on the sanitary condition of
Stark's school the board. acting on the
suggestion of Mr.. McCrindle, decided
to purchase a half lot in Moosic to
square up the plot If a satisfactory
agreement can be made with the own
ers. As the auditors had refrained
from signing the report, Director Nc
Crlndle offered a motion that the re-
port of last year be printed without
the signature of the auditors. The
melton carried The board then ad-
journed.

A KISSLESS REGION.
In the Far East Amorous Oscillation
Is Quite Unknown.

Kissing is almost unknown by the
native inhabitants of the far east. In
Burmah, many parts Of India, Papua,
Tahiti China and Japan, the people of
those countries do not kiss. Young
japanese girls, although they have
rosy lips and coy smiles, do not know
what kiss is. No lover courts his
mistress in their country with sweet
persuasive kisses, and no mother kisses
her baby as she presses it against her
bosom. 1t is curious that this absence
or kissing is the solitary point Of agree
ment between the peoples of the tro-
pical South Seas and the icy north. In
some of the countries. instead of kiss
ing, the people rub roses, and In Bur-
nah the nearest approach to kissing is
said to be smelling. The Burmese
lover, while putting his arm round the
waist OF the lady he adores, literally
smells her cheek. The mother bends
over her baby's little body and contin-
ually sninfs at 1t.
