| lift them mentally, and to quicken
their moral natures and awaken public
conscience. His effort seems to be to
leave vivid impression of his theme
upon his hearers-rather than memory
of his gestures and voice. After this
third time hearing him we find no
reason to revise our verdict or modify
| its form of expression.
The lecture was followed with the
Medley Overture, "The Wonder" by
the orchestra, after which Judge Tap
pan as secretary of the Board of Ed
ucation came forward and in very
| fitting speech presented the seYen
graduates each with, a diploma. The
judges speech had prelude which
was not down on the program and it
consisted in the presentation of a set
of books to each of the two retiring
teachers, Prof j. Q. Roode and Miss
Mary Brown. The Professor respond
ed in few feeling and fitting words,
while Miss Brown modestly bowed her
thanks. In this connection we may
add that at the close of the evenings
exercises bushels of bouquets were
heaped upon the graduates. We also
are Informed that all the members of
the class received elegant and costly
presents from relatives and friends,
and some of them more than score of
each of these tokens of kindly thought
and appreciation. Several of these
were in the shape of gold watches.
The exercises closed with a class
song which had been composed for the
occasion by w. ii. Smith, of st. Clair.
At the rendering of this song Miss
Edith Holden presided at the piano
and the singing was by the graduates.
The exercises closed with the bene-
diction by Rev. G. d. Ellis.
1t is due to the persistent efforts of
the 1901 class that the special feature
of orchestra music was introduced at
this commencement. This was fur
nished by the Marine City Concert
Orchestral, composed of the following
persons: Flutist, John Hermann; Vio-
linist, Prof. A. A. McNiff; Clarinetist,
G. A. Laydon; Cornetist, Eber Arnold
I'd Cornetist, G.. w. Carman; from
bone, Frank Climans; Drummer, Dan
Aytley; Pianist, Prof. A. Calzin; VIM.
Welhouser handling the Base Viol.
Of the music given by these boys it is
folly to attempt its description in cold
type. The mere negative praise ITO
the delight and satisfaction of all
present" won't fit the occasion at all.
To tell of it to those not present to
hear it, would be almost like showing
bouquet of rare flowers to blind
horse-he could only inhale their frag-
rance, nothing more. Those who were
present are free to say it was the finest
musical treat of its kind ever given to
Yale audience. We congratulate
the boys on their complete filling of
the musical part of the program,
which was abundantly fine enough for
city or country, college or common
school, commencement, or any other
place or occasion in the world where
good orchestral music is desired.
At the close of the program the 1901
"class hop" and reception came off at
Michaels' hall. Some thirty-five couples
took part in the exercise, besides num-
erous other invited guests who graced
the event by their presence and Joined
in the amusements of the hour. The
music for this reception was furnished
by the aforementioned orchestra.

Horace GreeIy's View.

Apropos of what Hon. G.. A. Gear
hart said about the need of preserving
the American Sabbath, a friend hands
US the following clipping, which is an
extract from one of Horace Greely's
editorial letters, written from Switzer-
land:-
"I could wish you might stand an
hour with me on Sunday morning in
the labor market in Geneva, and see
the troops of dull, tired, saddened-
looking laborers, in ragged blouses,
unwashed from the CRIME and sweat
of one weeks work of seven days,
trudging off sluggishly and YEARLY,
like dumb driven cattle, to the work
of the next week of seven days. care
these slaves?" you ask. Slayes! Bless
you, no. These are freemen. These
are voters and citizens in land of
universal suffrage, under the freest
government on earth, with an advanc-
ed and liberal constitution of the latest
French invention, and with the
modern improvements. No blue laws
here. They once had blue laws in
Geneva, but they have laughed them
down long ago. This, which you see,
is liberty, complete, untrammeled, ,
personal liberty. Every one of these
free citizens has right to work on
Sunday, and that is what il ends in for
him, and that is what it will end in for
you if you choose to make the costly
experiment. The workingman who
may work on Sunday has got to work
on Sunday when work is wanted.
The right to rest for each depends up
on the law of the rest for all. Think
of it twice, think oft again, then say
if you will barter away your birthright,
the American Sabbath, the universal
privilege of rich and poor, for this
miserable French delusion, this con-
tiuental holiday, through which half
of the people haYe to toll that the
other half may frolic."

The Absence Of 1t.

If there is any truth in the saying
that happiness is the absence Of all
pain, mental and physical, the enjoyment
of it can only be found in heaven. But
so. far as the physical is concerned, it
is within easy reach; at least measur-
ably so, as far as cure will go. The
sum of human misery in this line is
made up of greater or less degrees of
physical suffering. The minor aches and
pains which afflict mankind are easy to
reach and as easily cured. There are
none in the whole category, which, if
taken in time, cannot be cured. They
must in some form aff1ict the nerves,
the bones, the muscles and joints Of the
human body. They are all more or less
hurtful and wasteful to the system. ST..
Jacobs Oil is made to cure them, to
search out hidden pain spots, and to
cure promptly in a true remedial and
lasting way. Very, very many have not
known happiness for years till they
used it, and very many are putting off
cure and happiness because they don't
use it.

Some Hotel Figures.

Statistics are not very entertaining, but
there are some stories of hotels that they
alone can tell, and that of the supplies
is one Of them. For instance, during the
year 1900 one Of these big hotels spent
6%c dSr meats, $2Qo9oo f9G f9G dS% Popltry $113-
$4,000; for eggs, $4,000; for butter,
1000, and for the flowers used in dec
orations-and there are flowers on the
tables every day-$3O, 900. The initial
investment in silverware was $250,O00,
and with the losses that, charitably, are
credited to the souvenir craze. and the
general wear and tear on table service,
about $4,000 year is spent in keeping

Along this Brazil coast it has been

yield must be enormous, as there are few
households that do not use cocoanuts in
some form or other. In spite Of the great
number of trees, the supply does not
seem equal to the demand. Before the
