Harvard Glass Funds.

1t is a custom at Harvard that each class
shall at graduation subscribe or raise
among its members n fund sufficient to
pay for the annual reunions of the class,
for the dinners held every few years, for
the class reports, published every five or
ten years, and for other similar purposes
AS the class becomes extinct these funds
are turned over to the use of the college, and
it also frequently happens that the fund
becomes so large that part of it is given to
the college while there are still many men,
bers of the class living. The capital of the
funds now paid in to Harvard college
stands about as follows: 1902, 81, 300,

INDIANS AND CROWS.
Some Queer Legends That Are Heard
Among the Red Men.

Among the Red Men.
BY Indian legend the crow was selected
10y the great spirit as messenger to the
red men, he placed kernel of corn in it's
right ear and n bean in the left, and sent
1t forth with the gift of life to his people,
wisely muiiling the ears of the crow, so that
1t might neither hear nor heed anything
that might interrupt its flight. Because
Of that mission the crows right to n share
of the Indians corn wherever planted is
never denied, and the ''life bearing bird"
has been reyerenced by the Indians forever.
Like the Indian, the crow has been
tracked, prosecuted and hunted by the
pale face" wherever he has lotered for
shelter He is accused as a thief that is
best when he is dead. His usefulness in
picking the grubs out of the growing corn
is not considered. If he snatches one grain
of corn with four or five grubs that are in
comparably more destructive than he, he is
condemned and shot as q plunderer
by the Indian logic, "all the corn be-
longed to the Indian as original proprie-
tor, but the crow is an Indian, and there
fore the corn belongs to the crow The
primitive Indian takes good care of the
crow and divides the corn with him at the
planting season. The farmer who shoots
the crow off his premises for the sin of steal
ing few grains of corn forgets to thank
him for the killing of the willy hen hawk,
the sneak thief who frequents the barnyard,
intent on "a meal of young chickens.
The crow carries off an egg now and
then, but his small game is confined to
field mice, insects, grubs, small snakes,
worms, lizards and frogs, and in his win
ter hunger he descends to carrion. While
he occasionally worries small birds, his de-
light is the owl, opossum and raccoon.
An Indian tells this story of white
man and crow:
The white man, who had killed deer
for its skin, left its body in an open place
in the forest. A crow, flying over the
woods, swooped down TO the deer, walked
all around it, "talked to himself about it,
and then flew rapidly away. An Indian
took the deer to his cabin nearby and while
he was dressing il he heard commotion in
the air. A crow, which seemed to be lead
ing numerous flock, was screaming with
terror. The uproar continued for some
time and ended by the entire flock's sur
rounding the unfortunate and pecking
him to death, his body falling to the
ground in fragments. The Indian argues
that the first crow found the carcass and
generously flew to tell the flock, and as the
Indian had in the meantime removed the
deer, the disappointed flock, failing to find
it, had "just killed the leader crow for
telling lie!'-Our Animal Friends.

Origin of the Passion Play.

According to local tradition, the orr
gin of the Oberammergau Passion
play was as follows: When in the year
1888 deadly plague threatened to de-
populate the districts of Partenkirchen,
Escheloke and Kohlgrub, which are sep.
arated from Ammerthal, or the valley
of the Ammer, by rampant of noun
tains, the Ammerthalers succeeded for a
time in protecting themselves against
the dread contagion, but one day ma
tive who had been working all summer
at Escheloke evaded the quarantine and
entered the Ammerthal by secret path
in order to celebrate an annual church
festival with his family. Two days aft
erward he was corpse, and III less than
three weeks the plague had carried off
81 of the Ammerthalers.
Despairing of all human succor, the
terrified survivors addressed themselves
that if he heard their prayer and re-
moved the scourge they would repre-
sent, every ten years, "for thankful re-
membrance and edifying contemplation,
and by the help Of the Almighty, the
sufferings Of Jesus, the Saviour of the
world"
Not single person died Of the plague
after the vow was made, though many
were affected by it. The first represen-
tation of the Passion play in fulfill
ment of the VOW of these simple villa
gers took place at Oberammergau in the
following year, and it has been repeated
every ten years without single omis-

SPANKING AN ELEPHANT.
Remarkable Occurrence In Which One
Animal Had to Punish Another.

Remarkable Occurrence In Which One
Animal Had to Punish Another.
Did you ever see an elephant spanked?
Scarcely, for they don't do such things
i'll this country, but they do in India.
Captain Martin of the British army,
stationed at Campbellpore, vouches for
this story: Elephant Abdul (No. l5)
was on trial for killing his keeper, Syce
Ramboucles, by picking him up by the
legs and crushing his skull against "a
tree.
The president of the court martial was
Major Cameron of the Thirty fourth
Hagras native infantry. He read the
charge, and then witnesses proved that
Abdul was guilty as charged. The pres
ident then sentenced the culprit to 90
lashes and to two years Imprisonment
Two elephants led Abdul to an open
space, and in the presence Of the whole
battery the punishment began. The cul-
prit trumpeted in fear and made an un-
earthly noise.
There were IA elephants on one side
and the officers and men of the battery
on the other three. In the center of this
hollow square stood Lalla (No. u, the
flogger, and the prisoner. The latter
was chained by the four legs to as many
heavy iron pegs and could not move.
Fastened to Lalla's trunk was an inn
mense cable chain. When all was ready,
the major gave the word, and down
came the chain with resounding
whack. Abdul roared for all he was
worth. Fifty times was the operation
repeated, and then Abdul was taken to
a compound, where he remained pris-
oner for two years. New York Journal.

GOLD COMES IN FREE.

The New York Evening Post processes
inability to see why the Dingley tariff
does not collect duties on gold as we'll as
on commodities. Says that journal:
every argument for putting duty on
sugar or hides is an argument for putting
duty on gold"
The Post chooses to disregard the fact
that every nation in the civilized world
is producing things to sell for gold. To
put duty on product of nature that is
limited in mount, and that is everywhere
sought in exchange for products that
may be increased practically without
limit as to amount, would debar the
country imposing such duty for a sale of
it's products. 1t could only sell for gold
by selling as much cheaper than other
countries as would offset the duty.
Gold is now the only article of product
that has in relation to other products a
fixed and universal value. The minis of
all nations are open to the coinage of all
the gold that may be offered, and GER
tain number of grains with the mint
stamp upon the coin constitutes the ma
tion's unit of value. Gold bullion Is re-
ceived by all nations in liquidation of
debts at fixed value. It's fluctuations
are marked by the rise and fall of com
modities. IL the United States certain
number of grains is dollar, bat the pur
chasing power of that dollar may be in
creased or diminished. Its purchasing
power in relation to wheat this year was
diminished through a rise In the price of
that cereal.
OF course it is understood that the
Posts argument is playful effort to
hold up the protective policy to ridicule.
The New York Evening Post is not fool
newspaper, though at times it seems in
clined to create an impression that ii is.

THAT TIRED FEELING,

The statement of free trade papers that
"the increased tariff tax will enhance the
price of goods in greater ratio than the
improvement of business will add to the
purchasing power of labor" gives the
intelligent portion Of the people "that
tired feeling"
There has never been a protective tariff
law enacted that has not called forth Just
such twaddle from the free traders, and
yet there has not been time in the his
tory Of the country when high protective
tariff has not reduced the price of com.
modities. The theory that "tariff tax"
by shutting out foreign competition, re.
suits in high prices, is very pretty to LOOK
at and talk about, but theory and practical
demonstration are two entirely different
things. A tariff for protection invariably
results in fierce domestic COR clifton,
and prices decline while quality is bet
tered. None are so bljad as those who
will not see, and Since the industrial
statissics of this country for 81 years past
have failed to convince the chronic Anglo
" ,iao that protection is price reducer,
-1 10 certainly nothing this side Of
dsath that will.

CAUGHT THE CANNY SCOTS.

A special cable from London to the
New York Sun says: "Some smart Amer
loans have caught mapping some smart
Scotchmen, and much consequent bad

week. It seems that the gas committee
of the Glasgow corporation wanted a big
supply nezt year of large oast-iron iping'
aud tenders were invited in the usual
way, There happens to be ring in this
particular business, and the Glasgow
ironmssters, not dreaming of American
competition, put in pretty stiff prices, as
they had successfully done in the past.
When the tenders came to be opened it
was found that an American firm offered
to deliver the pipes for IS ton less than
the lowest home tender.
"Such tremendous row has been kicked
up at the idea of giving the contract to
foreigners that the gas committee has
been practically coerced into postponing
definite decision; but as the acceptance
of the American tender means saving
OF nearly $4,000, the probabilities are that
the United States will have the honor of
supplying the pipes after all"
The New MEXICAN is making a special
