the embezzIement charge was postponed
It is understood that Miss Duggan will
not prosecute Vassar if he returns the
money.

decidedly abstemious, yet not total
abstainer, and he smoked tobacco mod

was that he avoided bread, thinking it
undesirable food for person who wish
ed to live long, because of its excessive
starchiness and the amount of earthly
matter that it left in the system. His
chief foods in his later years were
meats, soups and fruits. He said,
few years ago. that for breakfast he
ate a baked apple, an orange, about

The Predicament of College Professor
Owing to Vassar's Tradition.

Inc Pred1calnent OF Il 1OileSe fToiessoi
Owing to Vassar's Tradition.
There is a tradition to the effect that
no man is allowed to become men,
Der of the Vassar faculty unless he is
married. Whether the tradition has
any grounds it is hard to say. One thing
is certain, If the tradition were not true,
then the following story could not be
true either, and where is the man or
woman brave enough to deny the truth
Of the story?
Based, primarily, therefore, upon the
tradition, the story goes on to affirm
that il an unmarried man makes appli-
cation to become a member Of the
Vassar faculty, he is, all other things
concurring, only permitted to do so ON
condition that he get married and at
once Sometimes this is easier than at
others. A young man who sought to fill
the Vassar chair of history not long ago
lat least so says the story was so ac-
ceptable in every way that his eXamin-
ers forgot to inquire into the most i'm
portant thing of all-his state of single

day for opening the college was at hand
did any one of them recall how shock
ingly they had left undone those things
which they ought to have done. The
young man, by that time arrived, had
to confess that he was bachelor. Well,
there was nothing for it but the one
thing, so the faculty hemmed and haw-
ed bit and finally got it out that the
young man must get married.
Wen give you just two weeks"
they said; otherwise you will have to
resign your place. Surely you know of
some girl that you can get to marry
you within two weeks" 1t was now
the turn of the poor young man to hem
and haw, but he saw that there was no
alternative, his whole professional fu-
ture depended upon 1t, so he permitted
himself to be hustled off the campus
before any of the susceptible students
caught sight of him, promising to re-
turn within a fortnight married. He
was as good as his word, though lac
cordlng to the story he had a pretty
hard time fulfilling the contract to the
letter. Besides its verifcation of the
tradition, this story has another value.
1t succinctly disproves the charge that
Nassar or any other woman's college
poses as a discourager of matrimony.

Bamboo as n Building Material.

The great strength of bamboo poles Is
not at all understood by the majority oil
persons. 1t Is stated ON excellent all'
thority that two bamboo poles, each oil
them one and seven-teDths inches ID
diameter, when placed side by side
will support grand piano slung be-
tween them by ropes, and that they
will neither sag or break under the bur
den. Bamboo will form poles sixty-nye
to seventy feet long and from eight to
ten inches in diameter. A derrick
twenty-six feet high, made Of four-lnc0
bamboo poles, raised two iron girdefs
weighing together four hundred anu
twenty-four pounds. The wonderlu'
lightness of this material in proportion
to it's strength has excited comment Oh
late, and new uses are constantly being
made Of it. Scaffoldings of BAMBOO
have the advantage of lightness ana
strength. 1t Is predicted that this ma
terial will come into general use lot
such purposes. :.

Worth Seeing.

A pleasant and unusual street scene
in Philadelphia is sketched by the Rec
ord
A tandem pair of cyclers with only
one pair of arms and legs between them
was the sight which greeted Broad
street promenaders yesterday. The
two men rode fine tandem wheel of
the latest model, and whizzed along
Broad street as smoothly and graceful
ly as you please.
The man in front had but one hand
to steer with, but that was good right
one, and his left leg seemed to bring
plenty of power to bear upon the pedal.
The other mans right arm and left leg
were missing, but the remaining limbs
supplied his needs. Although between
them they only had the number of limbs
which the average cycler upon single
wheel requires to keep him going, they
beat many sturdy rivals who tried to
keep up with them.

The Shah'S Cats,

Lovers of cats will be interested to
know that the Shah of Persia surpasses
all other royal devotees in enthusiasm
for these particular animals. He has
no fewer than 80 of them, and they
have attendants of their own, with spe-
cial room for meals. When the Shah
goes away the cats go, too, carried by
men on horseback. The Queen does not
care for cats, and the visitors to Wind
sor Castle, Osborne or Balmoral see
very few of them, except now and then
in the private apartments of residents.
