Two Cambridge University TESTS.

The fellow-commoners were always at
Cambridge called empty bottles, from the
following circumstance that occurred at
Emanuel, says the Cornhin Magazine.
Wine merchants send their porters occa-
sionally round the college to collect the
bottles; one of these men, during the hour
of lecture, knocked at the lecture-room
door by mistake and called out Empty
bottles!" The tutor, then out of humor at
being attended only by one fellow-com-
moner when there were twenty in college,
cried out, "Call again another time; 1 have
now but one" This soon gathered wind,
and these young gentlemen of the first
class went afterwards throughout the uni
versity by the name of Empty Bottles.
AS to professional students (some very
few excepted), they are worse scholars at
leaving college than at their admission.
heard our tutor once censure a young man
at lecture, who had been nearly three years
at college, by saying that he knew less
than a freshman who sat next him
well, and what of that?" retorts the
youth. HE is but just come from school,

stating it in this presence. Peace first,
then, with charity for all, establishing the
government of law and order, protecting
life and property and occupation for the
Wen being of the people who participate
in il. under the stars and stripes"
There is no doubt that the President
stated the policy of the government cor
roctly. but it must have occurred to him,
when he was making his disclosure, that
he was not removing the doubt which he
said existed in some quarters. II Is of
course the purpose of the government 10
do just what he says it is. The army Is
expected to conquer peace, and after that
is secured the work of giving the islands
a good government Will be undertaken.
That Is what is being done in Cuba.
The doubt to which the President called
attention, however, Is not what the policy
Of the government Is, but what the policy
Of the Presidents party is in respect to
the Philippines. II is well understood that
it is for Congress TO say whether the
United States shah retain permanent pos
session of the islands and govern them as
colonies or to take steps at once to pre-
pare them for government. II the
President had been as frank as he pre-
tended TO be, he would have told the vast
audience he was addressing whether he
thought it was the intention of the Re
publican majority in Congress 10 hold on
20 the Philippines permanently or to give
them Independence just as soon as they
could be prepared for ito deal with them
Just as it is proposed to deal with Cuba
and he would have announced what course
he intended to advise Congress, In his mes
sage to that body next December, to take
1t is very well underst TODD that the gov
eminent cannot do Otherwise than 1t Is
doing in the Philippines. In order to
change its policy it would be necessary to
call Congress together in an extra session.
The President under existing conditions,
has but one thing to do, and that is TO up
mold the flag-to compel respect for its au-
thority. When that shall have been ac-
complished it viii be his duty to give the
Filipinos a good government, just as good
as he can with the means at his command.
Then it win be his duty to wait until
Congress decides upon the policy to be
pursued in respect to the islands. The
President therefore, in telling his Long
Branch audience what the policy of the
government is in respect to the Philip
pines, did not disclose any state or party
secret, though some of his audience might
have supposed he did from the way in
which he approached the subject.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Chicago Tribune CRep) talking of
Senator Tillman's recent reference TO Bos-
ton as the head and center of all devil
ment says: Heretofore a good deal has
been said about Chicago being the head
quarters of evil but Senator TiHman is an
expert on deVilment, and il is only fair TO
assume that he knows where the central
works are located. Suspicion has in fact
been directed at Boston for some time As

Since then they have only kept adding
to the evidence-against them, until now
the whole world will be likely to agree
with Senator Tllman that Boston is the
head center of devilment."

0uaCk or QuiCh Grass

Assem- blyman Mosher Of st. Croix
county is trying to pilot bill through
the assembly looking to the extermin-
alton of quack grass. This grass is
getting to be the greatest scOurge of
all noxious vegetable growths and any
method that will successfully cope
with it will be verltable godsend.
To class Quack grass in the category
of noxious weeds is easy and proper;
to order its exterimation requires
little effort and brief formality, but
to accomplish its eradication from
ground where 1t has succeeded In
roofing is a serious undertaking, as
any one will find to his annoyance
when he tries it. There are large areas
where this vegetable abomination has
taken complete possession Of the
ground to the absolute exclusion Of
any other green thing. The roots
Intervene In such network as even
to prevent any considerable growth
Of its own grass above the surface.
1t does not seem often to spread from
seed. If the wind carried seed that
propagated the growth the whole
country would quickly be occupied
with it, but it spreads rapidly by the
invasion Of its quick-growing, vigorous
roots. Cultivating the land will .dis-
tribute it from a small patch all over
the field worked and every joint of
root will make new patch Of the
stuff wherever that joint lodges. A
single root is often from six to ten
feet long, with joints every inch or so,
each one Of which will start up new
stem,

Thirty-six ladies gathered at the
Mothers meeting in the Kindergar-
ten last Friday afternoon. The meet
ing was led by Miss Shultes and the
subject was 1.-The Development of the
Child"
The meeting was principally taken
up with readings from a work by OPP
penheim. This man strenuously be-
lieves that the much quoted sayings,
'The child is the father Of the man."
Men are but children Of larger
growth" etc, are. untrue and that
we make great mistakes in streating
children as miniature men. The
child, according to Oppenheim, has
not in him by inheritance that which
makes him a civilized man but that
he is rather the product Of his en-
vironment, that is, he is what he is
trained to be.
Miss Shultes here related a story to
show how little of what we are is
really inherited.
A very small child in India was once
stolen by wolf which having lost her
own young, nurtured the stolen child
instead. This child lived among the
wolves until twelve or thirteen years
of age. When found it was as savage
as its wolf associates, attempting to
tear in pieces its captorS. 1t walked
on all tours which seems to show that
we do not even inherit the tendency
to walk upright. Patient teaching
only resulted in inducing to eat cook
ed food, which it had at first refused,
and to wear clothes.
When so little of the child's char
acter depends on iheredity and so
much on culture, why, asks Open
helm, is there so little pains taken to
train mothers and teachers for their
work. Not enough attention, The says,
is given to such simple matters as
food and air and clothing. A child,
he says, is supposed to be well fed if it
does not die, we'll clothed if it does
not freeze. and we'll taught if it sits
quietly in school. Poor food, or insult
ticient air, he goes on to say, is often
the cause of a child's carelessness or
even viciousness. The reading and
discussion would have been con tinued
much longer for much interest was
shown but the time had come to close
the meeting. The subject for the
next meeting is "Do children tell
lies?"

The water pipe running from the
main into the school house froze up
during the cold spell and it has just
been tina wed out this week. 1t was
necessary to dig down to the pipe in
order to get steam into the pipe to
thaw it out. And as the frost still re-
mains around the pipe it is necessary
to keep the water running TO prevent
its freezing up again.
