The only college president in the East
who is not known as an advocate OF
President Mckinley's reelection Is
President Eliot Of Harvard. He has
refused to give any hint as to how ne
would vote. but he has now published
an article discussing the political stu
alton in which his leaning toward the
Republican side is unmistakable. He
criticizes McKinley's record in some
respect, yet points out the danger of a
change at this time. He has no re-
spect for Bryans foreign policy and i
firm on the matter Of the gold stan
dard. He praises the Presidents cabi-
net and his representatives in Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippines Hs
declares that on the issue of sound
finance and a reformed civil service
the Republican cause or the Republi-
can ticket is the more deserving Of
support. while as 10 the tariff the
reciprocity doctrine of the Republican
party seems TO afford the best oppor-
tunity for liberal legislation" He
deprecates the renewed Democratic at
tack upon the independence of the
Judiciary. Though President Eliot has
been Democrat since 1854 there seems
mo doubt that he will vote the Repub-
mean ticket this year.

worth the money to bring back the

paid. In the course Of a day or two
the lady came back in company with

THE GAIKWAR OF BARODA.
An Indian Prince Whom the EnxHnh
$ Hold In the Highest
A. + Esteem, !

81 The gaikwar of Baroda, who is pay
ing his fourth visit to England, is
known in India as "a model prince
and in. Europe as an enlightened advo-
cate of progress. Born in 1861, he has
now ruled the important state Of Ba-
roda with conspicuous success and. adj
evantageto his subjects during 20 years.
In that period he has devoted, his chief
attention to works calculated to ben
efit his people, and to improve their
condition from the moral as well as
! the material standpoint. The gaikwar
is a great patron Of educat ton, hav-
ing founded many schools and colleges,
and specially interested himself in the
thorny question, in India, Of female
education. He is now giving further
proof of his zeal in educational mat
tiers by the decision he has formed of
sending his eldest son to Oxford, and
some N of his younger sons to schools
in England. This is startling deci-
sion on the part 7of a prince of high
caste and royal rank. His highness
has shown himself IN another respect
quite above the practice of most orr
entails in being strict monogamist.

THE WORLDS OLDEST BRIDE,
An EaStern Woman Who IL Almost
] Centeharian Becomes
a.S ~ q Bride. ~

At the age of SO years a woman of
Waterloo, n. y, lately took upon her
self the vows of matrimony and is
proud Of the fact that she is probably
the Oldest bride in the world. In 1882
she was first married to Thomas Pres
ton, with whom she lived happily for
many years, and at the age of 68 be-
came wiLow. In 1873 she was wooed
and won by Albert Brainerd. The
union was not altogether happy one,.
but the husband put an end to his
wife's misery about a year ago by
dying. Then Samuel Decker appeared
upon the scene, and immediately fell
in love with the gay and festive
widow, and a few days ago the Rev.
Pulaski Smith, of the Magee Baptist
church, drove up to the little brown
dwelling. There was simple but
touching ceremony in the parlor. The
Widow Brainerd was again bride.
When the clergyman had gone Sam
.uel I: Decker l3t went out to work in the
garden He was working there the
next day when a correspondent Of a
New York paper called. The bride
called hi him in. When he learned of the
mission he FASTENED to put on his Sun
day clothes. When asked about her
health the bride said: =

was "smart." IL 49,

DRAIN The SWAMP.
There Are Many Reasons, Economical
and Sanitary, Why 1t Should
be Done Now. -

There are yet multitudes of farms
in this country where swamps exist.
We see them on every hand. Some
times they are in the meadow, and
every year bring forth crop Of
coarse grass that is of no particular
value to the farmer. Such meadows
might be made producers of timothy,
clover or other grass of value. Some
times, yes, often. we see the swamps
forming part of the pasture. They do
not become really dangerous till near
the middle of the summer when most
of the water has evaporated and what
remains is SO warmed by the sun that
it is filed with life. Disease germs
breed in them and aff1ict both man
and beast. We do not realize this as
we Should. Yet scientists know that
swampy countries are malarious coun-
tries. Drain every swamp that can be
drained. There are many that can be
sgot rid of a little open ditch. The
writer knew of one farm where there
was a swamp that had existed in the
pasture for so years. A ditch two feet
deep and 100 feet long rendered it dry
and tillable land. At the same time
it did way with a slough from which
the cows had drank for years. An
other swamp on the same farm might
have been abolished in the same way,
but it was permitted to remain BY
reason of inattention to this little
work about four acres Of rich land
lay idle, bringing forth only worth
less idlers.-Farmers' Review. SUE

TO DRAIN THE SWAMP.

excavation run the pipe, as suggested
in the dotted line. The lower
end must be lower than the
swamp, and to start the syphon
small pump must be placed near
at the lower end. Stop the lower end
of the pipe and pump it full, then pull
out the plug and the water will flow
itself. After heavy rainfall the basin
can thus be cleared of water with no
work whatever, except the trifing
trouble of starting. the syphon. Then
natural forces will do the rest. 1t is
a good plan to take advantage of ma
lures assistance on all possible occa-
sions. Windmills, hydraulic rams, sy.
phons, ETC., are all examples of this
ability to harness natural forces, tc
make them do the work Of man while
he sleeps-or does something else that
nature may not feel called upon to do

Telling Sex in Poultry.

It is very difficult to distinguish
turkeys when they are young, says
Poultry Keeper. For long time the
males and females are alike, but grad.
ually the male becomes more carun-
culated on the head and neck, the
I "tassel" on the breast begins to ap-
pear on the male, and it's wings will
occasionally be opened and tipped to
the ground, as in ''strutting," even
when it is apparently but chick.
Later on the neck is thicker and the
carriage is more erect, until the diff
ference is plain, as when maturity has
been reached. The drake can always
be distinguished from the female by
its voice, and the same with the gan
der. The female duck is the noisy
one, and makes the loud, harsh sound,
while the drake has q fine, sharp voice.
The same with the gander compared
with the goose. 9. 5fs. &

the story connected with it cleared

The young teacher, as she explained,
was a camera enthusiast, and her spe-

animals. In proving through the
woods she found the lair Of 'possum

that was necessary was to fasten the
camera at the proper range, attach

for that special purpose, and stretch

quently used by amateurs who hunt
with a Genera, omething, by the
way, that's becoming quite a fad.
Anyhow, that was the continuance
into which I had blundered on the
night Of the 'possum chase, and next
day, when the young woman had
found what kind Of game she had
bagged, she was almost as thoroughly
puzzled as had beenmyself.'' IN. 0.
