the recoVerieS was palpably much less
than that on the decline, and the ag-
gressive bidding up of prices showed that
the object was rather to establish Il high

$500,000 beginning March l, among
several colleges and educational in

SONS has already given many hun

made this year average $4,000 to
each college and the donations are to
be paid on condition that each col
lege raises an amount equal to it's
gift. The first Institution to receive
it's portion will be Mount Holyoke

already been generously remembered
by DR.. Pearsons. The doctor was a
country physician in Chicopee, years
ago, and went to Chicago, where be
amassed a large fortune in real estate

Chicago says DR.. Pearsons has de-
cided to give His entire fortune of ST.

and his wife receive an annuity of two

For several days l noticed the word
''panqueque" upon the bill of fare at
the hotel and did not know what it
was. There is q brand of wine from
one of the CHILEAN vineyards with that
name, and l supposed it was perhaps
the same thing referred to, although
it was difficult to understand why it
should appear among the desserts on
the menu at the dinner table and on
the bills of fare for breakfast. The
best way to find out about such things
is to try them, and the next morning,
being in an experimental mood, l or
dered a 'panqueque," which, to our
amaZement, was an ordinary griddle-
cake. Then it dawned upon my dull
perceptions that ''panqueque" spelled
pancake. | called the attention of the
head waiter to the discovery, and he
seemed quite astonished. He could
speak English well and claimed to be
familiar with the cuisine of America.
Therefore he did not see anything I'M
usual in my discovery, and l rather
think he wrote the bill of fare himself,
for he remarked in a surprised tone:
what =. do you call pancake in
America ?"-Cor. Chicago Record.
