gave Mankato an opportunity to select
Prot. Varney as superintendent, as
well as ne an opportunity to accept,
while the investigation was pending.
Consequently meeting of the board
was held last Monday afternoon for
the purpose of electing principal.

state, and care should be taken by
the board in selecting principal who
would continue to advance the school

thoroughly competent and expert
enced professor, we should Judge,
would be the one for the position

lege romance abou, the junior hop at
Ann Arbor.
4 pale and sickly new boy was valniy
trying to sell his wares in a crowded
Parlor car. Travellers fatigued with
long and hard journey; nd chilled with
the cold even in the car. were not inter
ested in the paper, and only one was
affected by the pale look upon the face
OF the poor and thinly-clad boy.
This was a very handsome young
lady; she was tired with her journey
and seemed weary of the world. She
purchased all the papers because she
pitied the boy. She looked them over;
her eye CHANGED upon a college echo
She read the story, for she used TO know
college girls and fellows. too. for all
that.
The story finished, the paper at her
feet, this very handsome young lady
unconsciously lent a charm 10 her
beauty by the tear In her soft blue eyes.
The next day shortly before noon
there was a light step upon the dingy
old staircase that led to Harvey's room,
and there was light rap at the door.
Harvey, thinking Il was his washwom-
an, called out: Come in, but have no
washing for you to-day" The visitor
came in, and Harvey looked up; he al
most tainted. for before him he saw his
sweetheart of other days, Bessie Hill.
/ have just received letter from
Harvey to-day in which be says: IN
this mail you will receive printed in
vitation, etc. Well, old man, the affair's
TO be in Boston, so as all the fellows
can be there, and IL is a special request
Of Bessie's that you be the best man.

q music festival at Bonn, occupying
about a week, during whose continu-
ance nothing but Beethoven compost
tons are rendered by the most re-
nowned instrumentalists, vocalists and
orchestras. A large chorus of male and
female voices is trained for the purpose
of taking part in these musical fetes
and this chorus is made up of the most
distinguished people of Bonn. The
compositions chosen for the occasion
are, as a matter of course, among the
finest and their manner of rendition
has become, in the course of time, so
perfect as to outvie anything elsewhere.
This year, couple of weeks ago, the
Leonore symphony, for instance, was
played with such exquisite skill and
finish. and the participants were all
such masters of their instruments, that
from all over Germany the lovers of
pure music went as to a pilgrimage,
much as is done to the Wagner perform
ances in Bayreuth.
But outside of these musical perform
nnces there is a Beethoven Memorial So
ciety in Bonn whose self-imposed task
IL is to keep intact the house and the
room in which the great maestro was
born. The house stands on quiet side
street of the town, and il differs in its
looks in nowise from scores of others in
the vicinity. 1t may be about $50 years
old and is well preserved. In its rear
portion the wing standing in the court
yard and little garden, whose smooth
gree usward and rose trees just now
look most inviting. was the abode of
Beetho,cn's parents. Trellised vines
spread over the smooth whitewashed

VITRIFIED BRICK.
Its Value as IA Paving Material Now
Widely RecognizeH.


Nitrified brick is highly spoken of as
a paving material, in which capacity
it promises to become strong rival of
both asphalt and wood. The brick is
thoroughly annealed and blended, so
as to obtain the maximum degree of
hardness and toughness, together with
the minimum tendency to absorption of
water.
The bricks made from shale are the
best The silica, alumina and iron they
contain give material that is harder
than steel. 1t is the only substance that
will successfully resist the calks and
heels of the horses shoe. 1t wears uni
formly. As the bricks are non-absorb-
ent and uniform in size they present an
absolutely water-tight pavement which
is easily cleaned by washing or sweep
ing, and affords the best sanitary pave
ment vet discovered. Brick pavings can
be easily repaired. They are compare
lively noiseless and less slippery than
either granite or asphalt. They have
been successfully used in Holland for
100 years, and in thiscountry at Charles
ton, w. Va, without any repairs for %
years They are now the standard
pavement in many other cities.
One of the best tests for determining
the value of brick for paving purposes
is the RATHER or abrasion test. The
bricks are put into a foundry RATHER,
together with 300 pounds of scrap iron,
and revolved for 200 revolutions. They
are weighed before and after. The per-
centage of loss is said to be equal to 25
years wear in the street. In such tests
the Ala oama made brick lost 10 per
cent, while other bricks lost IL to
Is per cent.
