A. and NJ. commencement.

We have just received pro-
pramme Of the commencement ex'
ercises OF the Agricultural and Me- /
chanical College Of Texas, at Col
Aege Station, June lith TO 18Th.
We take great pleasure in making
the announcement, for this instiiu-
ton is doing a noble work, not
withstanding the fact that Il has
been handicapped in several re-
poets, among which probably the
most serious is the small appropria'
tions made by the Legislature for
its equipment. The record this
college has made, with its able fac
ulty, though inadequate facilities,
under the lamented Gov. l.. 5.
Ross, and now under its efficient
/ president, l.. l.. Foster, warranted
the belief that the state would not
only relieve its necessities, but ex.
tend its usefulness by making an
appropriation commensurate with
the importance Of the institution.
The legislature recently adjourned
has TO some extent met these ex-
pectations by providing for an
agricultural building with proper
equipment, an additional dormitory
building, some more residences,
water supply, etc. the total
amounts being $l0S,9O0 ana $780,.
900 for 1901. These additional
equipments will enable the college
to receive probably more than 100
additional pupils and permit
the agricultural department
to assume the importance
It's merit demands. The com.
mencement exercises ofthis institu.
ton are always interesting and in
srtuclive TO all who attend. Itisex-
pected that the attendance will be
larger this year than ever before,
as the college is growing rapidly
in public favor We have good
reports if the graduating class and
congratulate them on the suspicious
occasion that ushers them from the
class room into the goodly con-
gregation of our influential citizen
ship. The alumni Of the Texas A.

WHY DO WOMEN CRY ?

once to meet a bride and bridegroom
says writer. The latter choked over
something and turned dreadfully white
MS eyes staring in the most horrible
manner. We were all very much
alarmed. What did the bride do? She
began to cry, ran round the table, laid
her hand on his shoulder and said:
Speak to me, Edward" The poor
man was taken out of the room and
after awhile got all right. But I have
never forgotten the brides babyish be-

man to speak to her, when he was alb

have theory that half the tears
shed in this world-a good half-are
distilled from rage or disappointment,
not from grief; that is to say, from
self-love, not true affection. The other

A FAD.
The Camera F'iend
Has Invented
SNAPSHOT DIARY.
The Journal Has Been Re-
placed by Photographs.

The snapshot diary has taken the
place of the once popular journal,
wherein Angelina recorded her joys
and sorrows in big. round hand. The
camera ffend is responsible for the
snapshot diary. 1t has grown out of
his collections and albums and exhibit
tions. The amateurs good negative is
too precious to throw away or mislay,
so he or she preserves it piously,
whether it be a portrait Of Carlo with
his mouth open or a picture of the
baby in his morning tub. The result
is tumble of pictures that, having
no relation to each other or to any
particular time or Splace or series OF
events, soon lose interest for the own
er and tell no story to the stranger.
The snapshot diary does away with
the purposeless conglomeration of pic
lures that cucumber most homes in
these days OF cheap cameras. 1t har-
vests skill and energy and gives the
enthusiastic picture taker something
to show for his labor that will at the
same time be Of interest to him al
| least for months, perhaps for years
| The diary is almost wordless, says the

edges of the front gore are then basted

cores, the line of basting should fol-

true direction of the basting line is de-
termined by holding the cores to the
