 Years.

Urbana, Ill.,, Oct. 2.--For the first time since 1897, when 13 sophomores were expelled from the University of Illinois for interfering with T fresh- men social, hazing has broken out at the state institution. During the past week over a dozen freshmen have been thrown into Boneyard branch. smal: stream running through the campus. Others in scanty attire have been com- pelled to climb telephone poies and perform novel gymnastic feats for t'e benefit of crowds of sophs. So far nobody has been injured, and the hazing has in the main been -aken good naturedly by the tirst-year men. President Draper, whose severity in treating hazers is well known, has not taken action in the matter, as it has not been officially brought to his notice

Thel efore Kansas farmers in many localities have made up'their minds to raise less corn and more wheat

THE AMERICAN PRESS.
Friendly Criticisms Ending in Praise of Newspapers and the
 Men Who Make Them.

London, Oct. 2.-A long article in the London Times, by special corre- spondent who was lately in America. which is correctly attributed to Mo- berly Bell, manager of the Times. de- scribes his experiences with interview CTS and their capacity to provide in- teresting copy, whether the person interviewed contributes thereto or not. In conclusion, however, the cor respondent pays high tribute to the American press, as follows:
 But that the American press is im- proving and is bond to improve can not be doubted by anyone who has come in contact, as I have done. with the men who have made it. However much one may differ from their stand point or deprecate their methods, it is impossible to deny their quick in telligence and breadth of view or the thorough earnestness and upright ness of purpose by which the con ductors of the press are aetuated, while in that which makes a press greater in independence and incor- ruptibility, financial, political or so- cial, the American can compare on equal terms with the English press"

Pulling Teeth With the Fingers.

We learn from the Medical News that Dr. Charles E. Coughlin of Indianapolis, has discarded the forceps in pulling teeth and has adopted the primitive rule of the Chinese by using the index finger for the purpose. He believes that the sight of the forceps constitutes the narrowing part of tooth pulling and that many nervous per. sons are almost as shocked at the sight Of the instrument as they would be if cooked revolver were presented at their heads. He can take out the most firmly rooted double tooth in few seconds, and that without causing pain comparatively speaking Tt is all done with the thumb and forefinger of the right hand,' he declares, "and does not require any great strength. for it is not performed by main force." he learned the art from a Chinese practitioner.-Ths Druggists Cir:u. lar.

Making Soap Bubbles.

Making soap bubbles is great sport for the little folks, but it is twice as much fun to make big ones that will not break when they are foated to the floor. To make these big bubbles, take piece of white castillo soap. about as big as a walnut. Cut 1t up into a cup of warm water and then add teaspoonful of glycerine. Stir we'll and blow from small pipe. This quantity of soap bubble material will make enough for one day. To color the bubbles pink add a few drops of strawberry juice and to i'm part yellow tint add little orange juice.

RACING IN THE SOUTH.

Since Nashville, Tenn, ceased, some ing for harness horses, that branch of sport has made no great progress in the South. Atlanta, Birmingham, and few other cities have held meetings of fair proportions, but none of them have risen to the first rank, their pro- motors very wisely believing that with care they can be grown to become i'm portant yearly events, even though their beginning was modest. In conse- quence Lexington, Ky, has been the only Southern city to hold an annual harness meeting of national import ance. This year Memphis makes it's debut and will have a racing carnival October 21 to 26 inclusive that promises to be one of the very greatest ever held. A new mile track. with modern buildings of every sort, has been built, at a total cost of $250, 1000, and experts say 1t is the most complete plant in the world, devoted entirely to trotting and pacing. For the inaugural meeting the sum of S35, ,000 will be distributed in stakes and purses. Not far from 500 of the best horses in training have been entered for the various races They come from almost every State in the Union, including far-off California. New England, New York and Pennsylvania will be repre- sented. There will be no lack of great horses, noted drivers and prominent owners, and the meeting will mark a new era in the history of harness rae. ing in Tennessee, State that gave to lne world the first twominute pacer, Star Pointer, 1:59H, and the master reinsman, Edward F. Geers, who has driven no less than four horses to worlds records, and whose achieve ments on the turf this year have fur nished sensational climax to his al ready eventful history. It is the in- tention to make the annual meeting at Memphis, including the one of this year, as good as the best, and the result will undoubtedly be a revival in the breeding interests that will be worth thousands of dollars to the people of Tennessee

One Way of Owning a Diamond.

A young man who works in a Chest nut street store, bought a diamond ring some time ago. He was to pay for 1t on the installment plan, $15 a month. He made the first payment and the diamond was delivered to him. At the end of the first month the col. Iector came around again. The young man was broke. Finally he went 10 a pawnbroker, borrowed S15 on the ring and paid the pawnbroker. In three weeks he got the ring out by paying $16.50. Then in another week the collector came around again. Once more the ring was pawned. Then 1t became struggle for the young man to get the ring out in time to pawn it again, but he did. It has now been four months since the diamond was purchased. The young man is paying double interest and the pawnbroker IS custodian of the Philadelphia Times.

This sum of money mother earth gave
from her bosom during last year TO the
citizens Of the United States.
The forthcoming annual report Of the
director Of the United States geological
survey will say that THE total value
of the mineral products Of the United
States for the year 1900 was 81 O70, 10S, r.
$780, OF this grand total over one-half
were metals, Of which iron alone was
worth S260,O00.OO0. A greater quantity
Of copper was won from beneath the
sod than ever before In the history or
our land, although the price realized
was not so much as the year before for
a smaller production,
The gold and silver yield increased
some, and, strange TO say, the value or
gold produced remains as II did In 1898
about 81 100000 In advance of the sill
yer. Lead increased much in value dur
ing 1900, and somewhat In production,
but zinc lost both In value and output.
So perfect is the control Of the alumni
mum market that the amount made and
its valNe since 1898 have not varied an
ounce or a dollar. a steady decrease

slight increase In the yield OF platinum,

How the Whole World Contributes
To Population Of United States.
nrnIu1nnnnnIunnnn

In June, 1900, there were In the Unit
ed States proportIonately few more
females than In 1890, a greater proper
ton OF the population was native born,
and there were also proportlonately
more whites; or stated conversely,
there were proportionately fewer males,
fewer foreigners, and fewer blacks than
ten years ago,
During the past ten years the num-
Der Of women has been growing slight
ly more rapidly than the number Of
men, the native born population has
Increased at nearly double the rate Of
Increase Of the foreign born, the foreign
element having increased at less than
one-third OF the rate OF increase OF the
foreign born during the preceding de-
oade, and the number Of whites has in
creased to quite an extent more rapid
ly than has the number OF blacks.
These are the main conclusions de-
rived from a study Of the figures pre-
scented In recent Census Bulletin.
The total population Of the United
States on June l, 1900, was 16,3OS,SS7. In
GLIDING persons enumerated ct military
and naval stations and naval ships
