Says Cincinnati literary man; II used
to think that the word sophomore was
made up Of the Greek word siguifying
wise and the English word more The
word was thus applicable, thought, to
the second class in a college, because
they We're more wise than their fellows
in their own estimation. But it seems
that theword has a purer genealogy and
q meaning even less fattering to the
class Of collegians to whom it is applied
d, 1t was first used at the University Of
Cambridge England, and in its infancy
appeared in the form 'soph-lnor. 1t was
composed Of the word 'soph,' q contrac
ton for 'sophister, and Greek word
meaning foolish moros).
"The college course extended over
three years and one teru. The respect
i've clgsses Of students were termed
freshmen, or first year men. Junior
sophs 9r sopb-mors. senior sophs and

transferred to the American higher I'M

Every year there must be two eclipses
of the gun. and there may be five These
are partial eclipses, however, except IN
the comparatively rare case in which the
moon passes nearly centrally over the
suns disk and produces a total obscura-
ton Of his light. Since the invention
the spectroscope, in 1850, there hav-
been barely a score of total eclipses, "a j
a number of these could not be observed
because the belt Of totality fell at the
earth's polar regions or upon the oceans.
The belt of totatty is a narrow strip
never more than no miles wide-where
the point of the moons shadow falls upon
the earth. Total eclpses rarely occur,
therefore, at the same point Of the earth.
at London, for example, there has been
no total eclipse since the year 1140, ex-
cept that of 1715, and there will be none
during the next century.-Professor E.
S. Holden in Century.

The man afoot on the surface Of MS
own earth is the true king; the so called
monarch who journeys in q coach or in
a bomb proof railway carriage is, in
truth a slave. The pressure Of the free
foot on turf OF road eNhilarates the soul:
the magnetism of our mighty mother
flows into our nerves and nourishes
their vitality; our blood dances through
our veins and strengthens muscle and
organ. The whole atmosphere is our
own; it flows rhythmically into our
lungs and uuites us with the sky. The
horizon wooes and stimulates the ewes;
they become bright and gain power and
judgment Nature instructs us at every
step; her beauty must ever remain I'M
known to-him who has not thus placed
himself face to face with her.
Distant hills slowly draw near and
unfold to us their wonders Of color and
form; winding valleys reveal their love
ly hearts to our orderly seeking, temper
ing their surprises by exquisite grada-
tons. The trees are companions; each
yields to US its individual charm, and so
passes us ON to the new charm Of its
neighbor. The forests veil from us the
sky, as if to remind us Of the beauties Of
this EARTH the broad plains smile 10
heaven, i'll intimation that earth and
heaven are inwardly at one Every in
sect, animal and bird vouchsafes us
glimpses Of its secret life which shuns
the monstrosity of our machines. Julian

Sorghum Is Poison To Stock.

The fact hat sorghum at certain
stage of its growth is deadly poison
TO stock is not generally known in
this county. From County Health
Officer Catchings we have received
positive information upon this mat
ter which certainly should be widely
known. He tells us that near his
former home. HazeihurSt, twelve
COWS that had been turned into a
patch OF young sorghum over night
were all dead the rext morning.
Mr.. McCearley, we learn has lost
stock from this cause and Mr.. Chas.
Henley, near here, lost COW few
days ago as he supposed from
charbon. DR.. Catchings, however,
inspected the dead animal, saw no
sign OF Charlton but learned that
the COW bad been eating yonUg scr
ghum which at once revealed to
him the cause OF the death.

Many people who would recoil with
horror from cutting a human creatures
throat, which really does not hurt very
much and only lasts a moment, will
murder a womans good name without
remorso or conjunction, and that hurts
worse than death for a lifetime. 1t
is a meaner crime than murder. We
cry out, and rightly. too, against the
sensational and depraying habit Of maxi
ing heroes Of robbers and cutthroats.
1t is a horrible thing to do. And yet
have less Of hatred and loathing for the
Late Jesse James than | have for some
people who have never been convicted
of capital crime, but whose tongues,
we know. are worse than any knife that
ever severed a human jugular.-R. J
Burdette in Ladies' Home journal.
