DOWN TO TEN DEGREES.
Way Below Freezing Weather Sched-
uled Here Tonight.

Down to 10 degrees above zero the tenn
parature is expected TO plunge tonight.
Perhaps it may not go lower than to u de-
grecs, but even that is far enough for COM
fort in this city. Last night the same
coldness was experienced, and the sea-
sonal average has so far this week been
exceeded by twenty degrees.
1t will continue cle ar and dry, and that
will have tendency to mitigate the sever
ity of thu cold. A return to more moderate
conditions is predicted for tomorrow.
The cold snap came out of the bleak
northwest, following the storm of snow on
Monday last. Today it overspreads the
entire country from the Mississippi valley
to the Atlantic coast. ParkerSburg reports

today at San Antonio, and light snow has
fallen in the lake regions and New Eng
land. The ,coldest weather of the season
will be experienced in the south Atlantic
states and Florida tonight, with freezing
weather in the interior of central and
northern portions of the state. The snow
area covers nearly two-thirds of the coun-
try, extending far south Texas,
whera at Abilene there is a depth of three

DWIGHTS RESIGNATION ACCEPTED
EulOgistic Resolutions of Passing
President Adopted by Yale.

A New Haven dispatch of yesterday
says: President Dwight's resignation was
accepted today at meeting of the Yale
corporation. An effort was made to have
him withdraw it until after the bi-centen-
nial celebration of 1901, but he adhered to
his original determination to retire at the
end of the present academic year.
Eulogistic resolutions were adopted by
the corporation. They said in part:
The administration of President Dwight
has abundantly vindicated the wisdom of
those who twelve years ago, at critical
moment in the history of this institution,
called him to undertake it.
During this eventful period the endow-
ments intrusted to the corporation have
been more than doubled in amount, new
buildings have been erected for more than
two millions in value, the annual income
of the corporation for all purposes has in
creased more than $50 per cent, the num-
Der of officers and instructors has increased
very nearly 125 per cent, and the number
of students in all departments nearly 1876
per cent.
The resignation of Prof. George f. Brush,
as director of the Sheffield Scientific
School, was accepted, and expression of
appreciation of his forty years services
was adopted

Troubles on n Tenement Street.

Improvidence works sad havoc with
the family exchequer, and the havoc,
cruelty enough, is as great when caused
by inculpable ignorance as by wanton
extravaganza. Wasteful cooking, buy
ing on installments, mortgaging furni-
ture at exorbitant rates and other equal
ly disastrous practices are far too COM
mon. When John German of No. 40
died, his wife received a $500 death
benefit. She INDUCED in the luxury of a
$40 funeral and within a year was in
want
Overproduction of children is another
source of trouble Whether the children
live or whether they die, they are about
equally expensive. The more desperate
the family circumstances the faster the
childrei come. And yet nature seems TO
smile OH this form of improvidence in
the long run. Children are transformed
to breadwinners by time. Thus the fam
lily, dragged down at first by its surplus
of children, is often exalted by this very
thing at the end. Comfortable old age
comes quite as often to the heads of the
large families as to the childless cou-
pies, since the latter have no breadwin-
ners to call OH when they themselves
cease to win bread. Forum.

The Fleet Horse In Poetry.

+. s. Dellenbaugh has an article enti-
tied 1.-The Quick Horse" in st. Nicholas.
1t tells of the trained horses that play such
prominent part in the modern fire de-
partment. Mr.. Dellenbaugh says:
Mankind loves the horse, for the horse
has been one of mans most valuable aids
and companions in all countries and in all
ages But there are preferences among
horses. Some are priced for their steady
working qualities-their ability TO draw
heavy loads From time immemorial the
quality of speed has thrilled humanity and

Everybody with advice on hand took

County and Country Crop.

For, sag, so years the fashion Of the
wearing mems and boys hair in Eng
land has been to cut it shorter and
shorter, so that today hair is shorn in
many cases as close as the BARRIERS shears
can get. A closely cropped head, 80
years and less ago. was in country places
looked upon with some suspicion, for
then only prison birds just out of du-
rance appeared with closely shorn heads,
and this cut was popularity known as
the county CROP" indicating that the
wearer of the short hair had been bar
bered at the expense of the county.
If any man was bold enough to APP
pear with his hair cut short, the words
county CROP were thrown at him
from all sides, and in the same manner
the school lad who came to school with
his hair cut shorter than was the coun-
try fashion had his life made miserable
in the same way, until such time as his
hair had grown again. Tho country
crop" was different matter altogether.
BARRIERS work was done ON men and
boys in many instances at home by moth
ers and grandmothers, and their mode
was to put large basin we'll back Oh
the crown of the head and then shear
round the edge of the basin, making 9
clean sweep of all the hair which pro.
jected below it. This was the country
crop. Notes and Queries.

were Oh the stage with Nine Tessan'
dier drew back, evidently in fear OF O
further discharge of fruit missiles, but
the actress coolly stopped down, picked
up the orange and added to her last
phrase the words, "And here is some
thing with which to refresh myself dur

house aplauded Justify, and the perform

ishment For a Man.
Sixteen cents a day will feed man at
moderate work and 10 cents day is re-
CURED for food for woman, says the ST.
Louis Republic This is the result of ex
periments begun by DR.. II. b. Gibson of
the state university and continued after
his death by Professors Sidney Calvert and
David w. May. Many studies of dietares
were made. The actual amount of food
consumed each day and the cost thereof
have been actually determined The aver
age cost per man per day at the University
Boarding club is lSN cents; of this amount
Mr. May said probably 2 cents worth is
wasted The cost in private families would
be smaller, with less waste.
In summing up the results of the expert
ments Mr. May says; when you buy, go
to the butcher shop and select what you
want Don't let the butcher select it for
you. You will soon learn to know the
best. Round steak is, all things consid-
cred, the cheapest There are better cuts,
but, as rule, not worth the difference in
price. There is moro in the cooking of the
steak than there is in the portion of the
beef from which 1t is cut Make your own
bread It is far cheaper and should be bet
ter Twenty five per cent of water is add
ed to bread in mixing, and water at cents
per pound is not cheap. A good vegetable
lard is cheaper and healthier than hog
lard Sugar is cheap food. Give the
children plenty of it. Beans and peas are
very nutritious and are muscle formers
Tomatoes are of very little nutritive value
and are composed very largely of water
Buy the best butter and take note of the
| amount of cream that rises on your milk
Buy fresh vegetables when you can get
them at reasonable price
above all, variety is the spice of good
appetite. Let there be anticipation mt each
meal and not have the same dishes day
after day Even Thanksgiving dinner
| will become monotonous If served alike

sweet and gentle girl, who was relative
OF the landlord. She was such nice girl
that l was In no hurry to get well, and
while Twas putting it off all could was
as industriously putting on the chains of
love. AT the end of ten days was able to
take up my sample case again, and when
left the town my gentle nurse was on
the same train, In my charge bound for
Kansas City, where she was to DO met by
friends. | had never talked love to her,
and fancy she didn't suspect me of any
thing except desire to flrt little, but
had made up my mind to talk seriously to
her before let her friends take her away
from mo.
Il fooled along, as most men do under
the same circumstances, waiting for a real
good chance to come in, but before | reach
ed the proper condition the train came TO
sudden stop In lonely place, and by the
time we had asked what the trouble was a
half masked train robber stood in the aisle
Of the car with revolver covering the
contents. The girl turned as white as a
sheet and | thought she would faint, but
| told her she wouldn't be hurt, and she
sat there as IL she had turned into stone.
AS it happened l kept my wits, and when
shot and shout rose on the air outside
and attracted the robbers attention for a
moment, whipped my revolver out Of my
overcoat pocket and would have got him
sure, but as brought the gun around the
girl at my side caught my arm and stop
ped me. l looked at her in amazement
Dont' she gasped It's my fatherp
And then she fell in faint while the rob-
Der hurried out in response to the calls
from his partners.
"As for me, concluded the drummer,
II thought probably it would be just rs
well for me not to add to the poor girl d
troubles by trying to get into her family.
