Alumni Exercises,

The alumni reception and promenade
concert on the east lawn of the university
campus was an exceptional success. The
novelty of the event greatly added to the
pleasure and the weather though cool
was entirely proptious. The campus
was protusely illuminated by electric arc
lights strung IN convenient places. so
the scene was one of unusual beauty.
The crowds that awaited themselves Of
the opportunity showed the popularity
OF the event. The me mbers Of the alumni,
association were present and many were
the meetings between old time friends
and comrades. The pleasant feature Of
the affair was the music by the Boulder
band, the selections being Of a popular
strain, well calculated to please and en-.

Vile to the distant shores of Tangan-
yika the whole interior is the scene of
fighting in some form or another. There
is scarcely a single post on the whole of
the Congo from which part of the gar
rison is not absent on expeditions
against the natives. He says that ex-
cept in the district between the coast
and Leopoldville the zone of safety does
not exceed a mile back from the river.
In Equator, Bangala, Aruwimi or Stan
ley Falls to venture alone a mile from
the river means to be massacred and
probably eaten. Even in the case of
steamers tying up for the night to cut
wood the native crews sent ashore are
a trip up the river he saw five Belgian
wood posts burning, having been at
tackled and destroyed by interior canni-
bal tribes. He goes on to assert that
the actual state of affairs in this vast
region can never be known except from
officers or missionaries who do not mean
to return to the Congo. Foreigners, he
adds, are treated more like cattle than
anything else. In Brussels and on the
journey out they receive every kindness
and consideration. On landing, how
ever, they have to shift for themselves
No arrangements have been made for
new arrivals, and everything is in a
state of chaos. Foreigners on up-river
stations are promised supplies of food
at regular intervals including wine and
medical comforts, but these are often
purposely delayed on the lower river
simply because they are not consigned
to Belgian officers. Lieutenant Andrew
says that competent Belgian officers are
very loath to go to the Congo, and that
consequently districts are often in
charge of non-commissioned officers,
wholly unequal to the responsibilities
imposed upon them.

WILL GRoW IN THE DESERT.

The great American desert is not likely
to soon blossom as a rose, but parts of
it may soon be much greener than they
have been. At the California expert
ment station at Berkeley, DR.. e. w.
Hilgard, director, new fodder plant
suited to alkaline desert lands has been
brought into use. The plant is an Aus
tralian saltwort, a relative of our pig
weed. This plant will thrive in soil con-
tanning $4,000 pounds of alkall salts to
the acre. In arid soils with underlying
hardpan the salt bush also flourlshes
and covers the ground. The especial
test that attracted public attention most
was made near Paso Robes, at sub
station or branch of the California ex-
pertinent station. Late in the spring OF
1885, seed was sown there. The total
rainfall of that season from September,
1897 to June, 1898, was less than five
inches (this is about the average rain
fall of the dreadful Death Valley des-
erD. Strong northers prevailed, all the
field crops in the district persisted, and
cattle died for lack of pasture. But the
salt-bush grew, kept green all summer,
and furnished three cuttings of hay OF
good quality. In the autumn the roots
Of plant were traced with great care,
and were found to descend through four
or five feet of dry hard-pan to the looser
and moister soil beneath.
Experiments on alkaline lands have
been equally successful The Tulare ex-
pertinent station has undertaken to sup
ply the great demand for seed through
out the arid regions. 1t is stated that
cattle and sheep thrive on the plant.
Two or three trailing species of the salt
bush have also been adopted as worthy
of use on arid lands.

good wages is thus thwarted. These
small bakeries disclaim any responsible
ity for the daily surplus of bread, charg-
ing that to the Trust baking companies,
who are said to make enough profit on
cake and pie to more than balance the
loss on bread. The "nub' of the con-
troversy was put by a representative
of the Polish residents Of the city, who
asked the aldermen whether it was bet
ter to consider the wishes of 100 bakers
or Of the people who daily consume the
1900 loaves of stale bread. The alder
men took time to consider this question.

COMUERCI4L EDUC1 TION.

The Hon. James Bryce, M. p, has
something to say in the North Amerl-
can Review concerning Commercial
Education 1t is not contended that a
successful business man can be manu-
featured to order. mo amount of
teaching or cleverness," says Mr. Bryce,
twill insure success in business. All
that special preparation can do is to
make those having natural gifts some
what better and those in whom natural
gifts are deficient somewhat less bad.
A host of other things beside ability
and education are elements in success.
Industry, sobriety, steadiness of appli-
cation, pleasant manners, social tact
and knowledge of human nature, the
power Of inspiring contidence-all these
things count for much in winning sue
cess in any walk of life"
Mr. Bryce distinguishes three classes
of youths and sketches a course of prep
aration suited to each Those whose
means are scanty will finish their gem
eraI education at Is or IA and then give
a couple of years to the following top
les: Commercial arithmetic, with prac-
tice in making quick calculations with
out the aid of pencil and paper, COM
mercial geography, one modern Ian
guage, shorthand and bookkeeping,
English composition, with a view to
learning how to express ideas in few
words. Boys who leave school at is
can take a wider course, as follows:
composition, with practice in summar-
izing the contents of documents or re-
ports shorthand and bookkeeping,
commercial geography and exchange
of commodities, a general view of in
dustry and trade, the elements of bus
fness practice. including study Of the
nature of documents used in business,
incorporated companies, banking, etc.
The third class embraces those who,
dropping general education at IS, can
afford to prepare themselves for BUSH
ness by still wider course of study.
These are the sons of men already at
the head of established manufacturing
or trading firms or corporations who
expect to step at once on leaving the
special school into positions of respon-
sibility. They would study recent econ
omic history, elements of commercial
law, statistics, movements Of the mark
cts, securities etc. Persons in the first
two classes may supplement their
training by attending night schools.
Promotion will be speeded by thus in
creasing ones breadth of view. For
the third class a new course ought to ba
provided by the universities. The
scientific study of commercial econom-
les may very well, Mr.. Bryce thinks
supplement the dry-as-dust and barren
courses now commonly required by in
stitutions of the highest-grade.,
There is wisdom in these suggestions.
The experience of Germany, France
and Belgium is good evidence of the
value Of special commercial education

THE TALLEST OF THE HOHEN-
ZOILERNS

Prince AlbertAdf Prussia, prince regent
of Brunswick, who is coming to stay at
Ilfracombe for few weeks for the ben
eft of his health, is the tallest member
of the Hohenzollern family, which is ia
nous for tall men, and he is one of the
few remaining field marshals who still
figure in the Prussian army list. He is
a cavalry general, like his cousin, the
late Red Prince, and in the war of 1870
II distinguished himself on the Lolr.
He has never had much liking for his
duties asregent of Brunswick, being lit
tie of a statesman, and it is understood
that he would not b sorry to be relieved
of his vicarious sceptre-which he prob
ably will be when the eldest son of the
Duke of Cumberland has been rendered
fit, by year or two's service in a Prus-
sian Guard regiment at Potsdam, to
succeed him.-London Chronicle.

FASHION NOTES.
Simple But Not Plain,

Now that coat sleeves are so general
ly worn, there is no little complaint of
their entire plainness. The days of
epaulette finish and shoulder puffs are
not long passed, and now that summer
brings the usual invitation to highly
wrought effects, there is demand for
less severity in sleeves, particularly in
those for cloth dresses. So a collection
of sleeves whose variations from the
coat form are entirely permissible, and
which were taken from new model
gowns, is of interest. In the first Of
these gray nuns yelling was cut away
at the shoulder to admit shirred white
mousseline which also finished the cuff,
where, as above. was white silk en-
broidery on the cloth, Putting and

In the lower row the first sleeve was

lace and loops of the silk. Cuttings of

into tailor and dressy sorts, none of
these specifications is imperative, and
the choice of goods, colors and trim

AS these are but a few of the patterns
that are available, it is evident that no
one need wear the severe coat sleeves
unless she desires to.
The liking for yoke finish that ex-
tends out over the shoulders suggests
another way to vary matters at the top
of the arm, and pretty new designs of
this nature are constantly appearing.
1t should be noticed, however, that the
most attractive of these bring no
change of outline at the shoulder. The

The London Electrical Review depre-
Gates the use of compressed air for
street car motors, but thinks it has a
great future for other purposes. In
mining it is very valuable, as it affords
needed ventilation and serves as COOL
ing agent. Like electricity" says the
Review, compressed air is, after all,
merely medium of power transfer
ence; it is not prime mover, but it
absorbs power and gives it out again,
and certain losses are inevitable in the
process just as they are in the manu-
facture and transport and use of cleo
tricity But the loss in air is very great.
Work goes in the shape of heat and it
goes in large quantity. But this is no
argument against the use Of air, and
may be an argument at times in its ia
yor. Compressed air is supplemental to
