Conference with Tecnmseh.

f r.
William Henry Harrison's old home
stead at Vincennes, Ind, has just been
sold to 3. s. Shepard for $4,000. The
building was erected by Gen. Harrison
In 1904 at cost of $4,000, nearly 400
acres of land being exchanged for the
bricks alone. Here John Scott Harri-
son, father of former President Benja-
min Harrison, was born, and here Gen.
William 81. Harrison, afterward Presi-
dent, held his celebrated conference
with the Indian chief, Tecumseh. The
purchaser of the historic home has be-
gun to repair the damage caused by
years of neglect, and expects to restore
1t to its original appearance and pre-
serve 1t as memento of American
history.
The old home remained in the hands
of the Harrison family until 1910,
when 1t passed to William Pigeon, who
handed 1t down with his estate to
Flavius Pigeon, who in turn was forced
to sell 1t to e. s. Shepard. Since 1t
passed out of the hands of the Harri-
son family it has served multitude
of purposes, ranging from hotel to a
fold for sheep in the winter.

An English girl of good family has
become infatuated with Prince Loben-
gula, the Matabele chief, who has been
on exhibition in London, and, after
vainly trying to marry him in England,
she has gone TO live with him in his
kraal in South Africa. The example
threatens to become contagious, and
London society is scandalized by the
attention which white women of good
breeding have been lavishing upon
these black savages in the Earl Court
exhibition. The sad case Of Desdemo-
ma and Othello does not seem to have
impressed these English women. But
perhaps there are not men enough IN
England to go around. The blame for
this state of affairs may be, laid at the
door of the American girl, who has
been poaching so long on the English
girls preserves. One might write quite
pathetic story showing how the
naughty American heiress has forced
the abandoned and desolate English
maidens to so to the black savages Of
South Africa for their husbands.

ETHER WAVES.
A Remarkable Medium that FIJI, An
Matter and All Space.

A Remarkable Medium that Fills An
Matter and All Space,
The phenomena of wireless telegra-
ply are most marvellous from the pure
ly scientific side. They show us that
this remarkable medium. the ether,
which encompasses us about on every
side, penetrating the densest as well
as the rarest forms Of matter and fill
Ing the whole of celestial space, is in
state of endless disturbance, crossed
and recrossed by waves in infinite va
rlety. In his address on the "Six Gate
ways of knowledge" Lord Kelvin has
called attention to "the vast gap be-
tween 400 vibrations per second, the
sound of rather high tenor voice,
and 40O,000,00O,OOO per second, the
number of vibrations corresponding TO
dull red light, and therefore the lowest
rate in the spectrum" But, now that
Hertz has given us ether waves mil
lions of miles long, how enormously
has this range been widened? With
In this range there is room for twenty
senses, In place Of five, each equal in
range to those we have at present; and
If each should reveal to us as much as
does the eye, what an amazing wealth
of knowledge would be ours! Indeed.
Lodge has suggested IN electrical the.
DRY of vision based ON coherent action.
But why may not these Hertzian
waves have been already utilized by
our organism? We are told that the
day that General Gordon was killed at
Khartoum the people in the streets and
bazaars of Cairo knew of it, though
the distance in direct line is 1000
miles and no telegraph connects these
cities. And British officer In AZ
ghanistan narrates that information of
the intended movement of troops dur
ing the war at distances Of fifty or 100
miles away was known to the natives
at these points almost Immediately,
though no signaling of any sort could
be detected. What worlds of possible
sensation lie all about us in these ether
waves; and, when these are fully rec
ognized, with what tremendous capa-
bilities will the human race be endow-
ed! In the eloquent words of Tyndall,
'The air about us may be full of heav-
ems hallelujahs, while we hear only
the feeble whisper of our own pray
ers.'-Lippincott's

Prof. 3. 2. Slosson, Of the University
of Wyoming, gives some good reasons
in the Independent for the existence
of coeducational colleges. He. not only
admits that the throwing together Of
young men and women at college en-
courages marriage, but he further as
serts that 1t leads to wiser marriages
than those promoted by the ballroom
and the ordinary society methods. The
statistics of Bryn Mawr, college for
women, show that only 80 of the 234
graduates up to 1894 have married, or
only IA per cent. Figures from the Uni
versity of Kansas, a coeducational in
stitution, show that of the 100 women
graduates up to 1894 So have married,
or SO per cent. Thirty-one of the sixty
five married fellow students, indicating
that propinquity Is a good match-mak-
er. Prof. Slosson sums up the case by
saying: IF you want young people to
marry let them be together; If you don't
want them to marry keep them apart
He is undoubtedly correct in saying
that the enforced isolation of the sexes
during the most impressionable age
tends strongly toward permanent cell
bacy. While one cannot quite approve
of the catalogue of Western college
that asserted there were more happy
marriages among its students than in
any other institution in the country,
there is no denying that the healthfUl
association of young men and women
at college Is normal and desirable
way of educating the sexes to know
and appreciate each other. AS the main
object in view is education, the path to
matrimony is through platonic friend
ship instead of through Irritation. IF
the marriages, even in coeducational
college, are fewer than in outside socle-
ty, they are at least founded on the real
tiles of mutual knowledge rather than
on the Illusions of ignorance, and sell
dom lead to divorce.

Of any desired Length for convenience.
Cover them with straw laid up and
down the shed water. and then cover
this with earth-a foot deep finally, as
the winters cold may make it neces-
sary to avoid freezing. But ventilation
must be secured by putting wisps of
straw every four or'.five feet to let the
heated air due to the fermentation Of
the beets escape, otherwise the rootswill
rot. The leaves may be saved in the
same way and will keep long enough to
feed them before the roots are touched.
Any kind of roots, potatoes or apples
will keep in the best manner in this
way, until the spring. There is no other
root grown that is so good for cows
kept for milk as the sugar beet. And
no other crop gives more actual food to
the acre than this when 1t u well
