FRESHMAN HUNTINGTON.

-f A 2 Els F tE He is the son of H. E. Huntington, who is managing the Pacific railroads left by Collis F. Huntington. and> grandson of 5Solof,. brother of Collis P. He is heir to the Huntington mill lions. He. is 24 years Of age: yet q fresh man. For six years lie has worked ln California as a surveyor. He went to work as a boy. worked up by merit to chain boy and then moved on. His advance was by hard. consistent work. His father and grand father shared ColliS r. Huntington's views on college education. They felt it menace to young man. They wanted 2 young man to pick his occu- patton and work up. Huntington did that until he felt the need of higher study in his line. For that he came to Harvard's scientific school, and has buckled down to hard work.
 He does not live in any of Harvard's srstocratic hallR-Claverly, Beck, Dunster, Randolph. Ware or any build ing where sons of millionaires live, He says: ..a,t...-
 Those men are inclined to waste time. I am here for work. That is why I am living in Walter Hastings hall''
 Hastings hall is the best dormitory the college owns. It is comfortable and home-likc. but not elaborate like the above named. Here Huntington has settled down. He is used to hard work, used to simple minded. working men and used to living comfortably, but not luXuriously s..
 He has modelled his life along these lines. ,..
 He boards at Randall hall. where all of the poor men eat. This hall is run on a plan so that q, man pays for what he eats. and one can live for S2 a week.
 Huntington lives here, but on more money, of course.
 It is plain, simple place, where he meets plain, working. practical men, and he likes it.
 His room has been furnished modest lv. He purchased comfortable chairs, useful desks and tables, and a good bookcase. Then he ordered a hundred books. He didn't order books as Har- yard men order them: nor pretty sets. in neat and costly bindings. He got books on surveying, books he needs and books he wants to read. And he got books for lighter reading, of good selection.
 He is plain, democratic, and never will be a marked man, as most mil lionaireS are at Harvard among wis itorS seeking "the sights s''-Boston Post. -,rfSi t,. E.

THE FIRST VIOLIN.

The violin is said to be the modern form or the viola da braccio, q small Flol supported on the arm. The violin nlaue its appearance first about inc year looO in the north of Italy. It diff iereu from the true viol in having the pack as we'll as the front arched in the number of strings and in various technical points. Earlier than the yiol were the troubadour's instruments. small bowed instruments known vari- ously as geiges, crowds, rebecks and nelds. They were rested on the shoul- der and played with deeply curved bows. and were much smaller than the modern violin.
 Originally they were so small that they produced only shrill notes fit to accompany boys voices; to get deeper notes for mems voices larger instru- ments were used, and from them came the viols. and from the viols the violin was refined. The name fiddle. though now used almost always contemptu- ousiy or humorously, is the proper Eng fish name for the violin Century die tlonary. 'fiddle"D The word comes from the middle Latin vitula. a fiddle. and it is found also in the Teutonic Ian guagc in various forms.

LIONS AS THEY REALLY ARE.

Lions infest the whole of the. Beira route to this day. Then years ago when the line was being surveyed for, they crawled everywhere. The usual idea of these carniyals is that they are the king of beasts: that lions prance and lash their tails, step after a lordly fashion, and are both noble looking and noble in their habits.
 Never was there a greater mistake. Those who have made their close ac- quaintance-and they are those who pioneered for this railrOad-say that a lion far more often creeps on his stomach like a stalking cat than goes on his hind legs like his heraldic coun- terfeit. Until one jumps at you he looks quite insignificant. But when he has made a spring within a few yards of your shoulder, he seeuis to fill the heavens above aId the earth beneath.

 The smell of lion is also "foote" It is now. a, nobly overpowering odor: it is as the smell of hot, dirty mice. It is a scent once met with never forgot ten. y Liens such as I have described prow led around the pioneer camp when ever it halted. Once when the pion- eers had lit fire. some fat slices of game were laid across it on a piece of galvanized iron. A loud 'hoose' from Kaffir reused one of the Eng lishmen from sleep in time to see one of these large cats quietly licking up the grease left in the imprevised fry ing pan The Kaffir was frightened; the lion was much more so. At the human uproar he slunk away with his tail between his legs, just as any do mestiespussy would have done if found ng.-Contemporary Review.

 The first uncensored cablegram from Manila says the Filipinos are recruit ing for an active campaign, although they know of MT McKinley's re-elec- tion. How do the republicans account for this?
 If the republicans put out that talk about reducing the congressional repre- sentation of the south as "feeler," they must be thoroughly convinced by this time of the dangerous nature of such an undertaking.

BREATHING EXERCISES.

If during the coming winter the ob- servant pedestrian should notice in numerable excited people stridlng through the streets with a stick across their backs and between their elbows. he must not jump at the conclusion that London has suddenly lost it's senses. For this form of exercise is part of a treatment which is now rap idly becoming popular-the cure for aSthmal bronchitis and all the other pulmonary diseases which trouble and distress dwellers in our foggy. smoke laden cities. Heretofore the asthmatic person has kept in doors as much as possible. carefully shutting windows and doors and keeping a roaring fire blazing in the grate. Now he is bid den to fling his windows open. and. moreover, to keep in the open air as much as possible.
 But this is not all. He is taught that it is not so important what he breathes as how he breathes. Breath ing exercises, then, are part of the cure. and here not Cnly the sufferer from bronchial catarrh is concerned. but even the woman of fashion anxious to maintain her good looks. For if teen minutes. twice q day. women of fashion, asthmatic patients. and indeed all the world. are bidden to stand out of doors. preferably in the sunshine. and, holding the chest up, to inhale slowly through the nose and then as quickly CXhale the brea tn through the mouth. Of course, every one knows that it is through the nostrils he should inhale, and it is quite probable that many of humanitv's illnesses are due to improper breathing. but at the same time it will be an almost ,superhuman feat to make mankind breathe through the nostrils.-London Globe

As a sample of the current drift of the exports. says Henry Clews ill his weekly letter. the exports of cotton for the month of October show an increase of S32, 900 GOO over those of the same month of 1899: and to that must be securities to London and Germany within the last two weeks. Such state of things may be expected to soon develop a situation that will com pei either q large return of securities. or considerable European shipments of gold, or large lendings by New York to London and Berlin to bridge over the emergency. It is perhaps not like ly that New York will apply any press ure to bring gold to this side the At lantic. The time for the return of money from the interior is close at hand. and New York may be expected to easily take care of the demand for loans; and it would clearly serve the purpose of our banks to allow q con- siderable balance to remain on demand III uAoPe la'heI tldn to force Seitle- ments in gold, with the effect of pro- ducing q local redundancy of money and thereby forcing down the rate of interest. In any event, the situation. present and prospective. may be ex- pected to favor ease in the New York money market from this time forward for six months; the boom therefore is likely to be felt free to disport itself fer considerable time without inter- position.

Colonel Callahan'S resignation seems destined to kick up the biggest rumpus that has yet visited the Connecticut National Guard and it is a well known fact that it's troubles have not been few and far between. The general opinion seems to be that the colonel wasn't treated with the respect and leniency that twenty-eight years of ser vice in the militia would seem to en- title him to.
