COLLEGE FIGURES

Dartmouth's new freshman class has
1876 members.
Mount Holyoke college began its-new
year with SOP students.
Radcliffe now offers 100 courses for
women, an increase of IS over last year.
Harvard has 394 instructors; Yale,
245; Pennsylvania, PAS; Michigan, 167,
and Chicago, IT'S.
During the last six years the value
Of the property of 10 leading colleges
has increased 81 per cent
In answer TO an inquiry the authori-
ties of Cornell university have just cal
culated that a good student could take
all the courses which were offered when
he was freshman in just 10 years.
This is a rather forcible suggestion that
as universities are now conducted the
student cannot hope to know it all.
The college graduates of the country
make a pretty good part of the popu-
lation, and Harvard takes the lead with
a total of 22,2S7 graduates. Yale has
sent out into the world 1880 men and
Columbia 1891. Princeton has gradu-
ated 1900 students; Dartmouth, $500;
Brown, 1900; Bowdoin, 4,619; Amherst,
1000, and Washington university,

The mounted police force of New

for the horses now in use. He has been
in trouble just once while on the force,
and that exceptional unpleasantness
was directly traeeable to the intelli-
gence OF his horse. Machines have no

porter my horse. on the other hand,

not keep open all night So he did,
night after night, and most of the traf-

a barn behind the saloon which was the
very place for the horse while the man
got warmed up a little. The poor ami
NAL was equally protected against the
night winds and against evil eyes

TOBACCO SMOKE.
Scientific Test 40 Discover the Pres

To demonstrate the presence of nico-
sine in tobacco smoke, kissing uses a
bottle half full of water rendered faint

pass through the stopper, one dipping
into the fluid and having cigar in
serted in the upper end; through the
other much shorter tube the assistant
draws the smoke in the ordinary way
of smoking. When a portion of the
cigar is consumed. a few drops 81
Mayors reagent are added to the liq-
uid, in which a copious precipitate is
produced in the presence of nicotine.
Further evidence of nicotine may be
obtained by rendering the solution
alkaline with soda and distilling. The
idea that picoline base, and not
nicotine, causes the reaction described
As not borne out by this experiment

his leg just before his master was go

the same territory that had to cover.
All was lovely and the horse scrambled
along as peacefully as lamb until he
came in front of the saloon and received
no hint TO stop. The brute's nextmove
was sudden and carried the astonished
roundsman sideways in direction Of the
barn, to which the horse had taken
as eagerly as TO the front part, know
ing that there was always some oats
waiting for him. A fierce struggle be-
tween man and horse followed and last
