ment for the present session will
undoubtedly pass beyond the 60C
mark before June next. The in
crease in attendance has been
made in the face Of more exacting
entrance requirements both in the
Law and in the Literary Depart
ments. A larger number Of stu
dents failed to pass the entrance
examinations than for several
years. The per centage Of increase
Of male students is ten per cent, Of
female studente thirty per cent.
This notable difference in the at.
tendence Of the two sexes accentu
ates the need so frequently alluded
TO by President Winston, Of
building erected expressly for the
use Of lady students. The people
Of Texas are beginning to show an
inquest nable assent to the doc.
trine that the same educational IA.
cilities should be provided for the
! young women as Tor the young
men.
-
The work Of the young lady stu
dents in the University demon.
slra,es more and more clearly year
after year that they are the equals
in every respect Of the young men
in mental breadth and intellectual
power There are at present in
the University five lady students
holding honorary fellowships,
and two lady teachers giving
regular instruction; all Of
whom have won their places in
competitor with the brightest young
men Of Texas. They have received
their appointments not because Of
their sex, but because of their su.
perior mental attainments. The
Of Miss Florence p.
Lewis, Of Austin, Texas, an NJ. A.
graduate of the University, in win
ming a fellowship in Philosophy in
Bryn Mawr College in competition
with the entire United States is
noteworthy and sugges.
tive.
A healthy indication Of the
growth and progress Of the Uni
versit ymay be attested from the
fact that many Texas students who
have been attending universities
outside Of the state have enrolled
the present session in their own
state institution. Ex.students from
Cornell University, Dartmouth
University, University of Virginia,
Vanderbilt University, University
Of the South, Tulane University,
University Of Mississippi, Uniyer.
sity Of Alabama, University Of
Louisiana, University of North
and other leading insti-
tutions Of the North and East are
this year natricnlates in the Uni.

Those members of the editorial
fraternity fortunate enough to have
enjoyed the 18th annual meeting
and outing Of the So. Oak. Editorial
Association will long carry pleasant
memories of the Inequalities Of Sioux
Falls. In nc better hands could the
pleasant task of entertainment have
been entrusted than those OF Mark
SCOTT, John I. Cogan, and George
Schlosser. Early and late they la
bored for the pleasure of their guests,

sesame to the hearts and Inequalities

Just think of a Democratic Con-

President Mckinley as "a stateman
and a patriot voting down Con-
gresham Bailey's resolution oppos-

ing out singing mime eyes have

The season Of sport just closed
has been such a striking success that
steps should be taken at once look
ing to next season. Recollect that
next year this city must celebrate
July 4th, must entertain G.. A. r.
three days and Old Settlers one day
and it will be plain that plans should
be laid beforehand. Why not organ
ize an association, purchase a tract of
land adjoining the city for a race
track, base ball park and bicycle
path, making the shares of stock pay
able in instalIments. la this way
the land would be paid for by May
LIST. and money enough in the treas
ury to make all neutrality-suspicious..
A race track and park are a necessity
to this city and there is no time like
the present to secure it. Who will
start the ball rolling?

Queer American Rivers" is the title of an article in St. Nicholas, written by F. R. Spearman- The author says of the great intermountain streams like the Yellowstone and the Colorado:
 They flow through landscapes of desc late grandeur, vast e1panEas compassed by endless mountain ranges that chill the bright skies with never melting mowE The countless peaks look down on the clouds. while far below the clouds wind valleys that the sunlight never reachea Twisting in gloomy dusk through these valleys 6 gaping canyon yawnA Peering fearfully into it's black, forbidding depths, an echo reaches the ear. It is the fury of a mighty river, so far below that only sullen roar rises to the light of day. With frightful ve- locity it rushes through a channel cut during centuries of patience deep into the stubborn rock. Now mad with whirlpools, now silently awful with stretches of green water that wait to lure the boatman to death, the mighty river rushes darkly through the Grand Colorado canyon.
 No sport, no fun, no frolic there. Here are only awe inspiring gloom and grandeur and dangers so hideous that only Q handful of men have ever brayed them-fewer still survived

The E6ecs of Pox.

Accidents due to the obscuration O: objects by fog are so common that scientists are making a study of absorb ent power of fog as regards lights of all kinds. It appears that London fog ab- sorbs 90. 8 per cent of the light from an incandescent burner. while the ordinary gas flame loses but Ill per cent. The incandescent light contains more blue, and this is readily absorbed by the fog. Red lights are much more penetrative than blue, and as the gaslight contains far more red than the electric it is much more valuable as 8 light for use in very heavy fogs It is fact familiar to every one that when the sun shows through mist it is of @ deep red color. This is accounted for by the fact that the blue rays are entirely absorbed, leaving only the red with its much more powerful quality of penetration New York Ledger.

What should An Architect Be TaaEhss
 Sound and ready knowledge of build ing. dexterous readiness and some 3D. preach to excellence as e freehand drafts man and some skill as @ modeler-these are the three things which the student should be taught says Russell Sturgis in The Atlantic. All else is 6 part of his higher education, of his training as a man rather than as an architect Time was when there existed no such distinction; when there were living traditions which the young architect had to learn, which he would learn naturally as an apprentice. exactly as the apprentice painter picked up his art of painting naturally and ground his masters oolors and swept out his mas ter's workshop the while. Those days are gone.
 There is no tradition now which ought to be learned. because there is DO tradition which is not that of some school or ooterie, none which binds the world of building men. There is no tra- dttion now which should not be avoided, because there is no tradition which is not telling against a healthy growth of the fine art of building. The traditions now are of the most mischievous char scter, and nothing can come of famil- iarity with them but 8 prolongation of the sterile years. the years of the lean kline. through which the European world goes starving in spirit for food of the solid and wholesome sort known to men of old Designing cannot be taught; good taste cannot be taught, and yet 1t is well for the artist In any department to learn what other artists have done and to learn how they designed and to see what they accounted good taste.

The Change in BoutelIe.

"What the people of Maine can not we'll understand" said MT. J. l.. Day of the Pine Tree state, ''is the mysterious at itude of Congressman Boutelle. At home Capt. Boutelle is looked on a. vsritabIe Hotspur, a Prince Rupert, who would like to break a lance against a tyranni- cal foe that starves poor peasants to death by the ten thousand.
 "To see the dashing, impulsive and gallant Boutelle acting with the so-called conservatives who hes itate to strike in a cauee that the whole world knows to be just, is inexplicsble. It is a novel role for him, and his people cannot why he should have as sumed it. it."-Wsshington Star.
