One Of the features OF the recent
prom week Of The Yale juniors at New
Haven was the entertainment Of guests
in the rooms Of the students who oc-
cupy gorgeous suites in the handsome
dormitofy buildings throughout the
town Not only were there bountifully
spread tea tables for the O'Clock en-
tertainment Of the fair guests. but
many Of the more progressive stu
dents provided elaborate luncheons.
suDpers and even dinners which had
the charm Of novelty for the young
women and their chaperons from out
Of town Many OF these feasts were
provided by caterers and were accom-
panied by flowers and orchestras in
regulation fashion. but by far the jol-
lest were the impromptu spreads
where magic dishes over which the
hosts presided with the air Of conf
denee that comes only of successful
experiences In fac. chafng dish cook
cry has become a fad with the college
boys Of Yale, Of Princeton and Of Cor
nell and there are rumors that many
OF the more accomplished OF these
amateur chefs have taken courses in
the culinary art from private instruc-
tors. Many Of the boys possess not
only one chahng dish, but a series in
different sizes. utilizing one specially
for fish. one for the cooking OF birds
and others for vegetables and these
dishes combined with the salad bowls
and the tea services give a thoroughly
domestic look 10 the rooms Of some Of
the students. In the making OF tea
there is a high standard OF excellence
maintained. although the pouring OF Il
is always given into the hands OF some
kindly chaperon. There is consider
able rivalry among these amateur
cookG as to the results which they put
forth and for this reason some OF the
feasts were marvellous in the variety
and extent Of the yiands served as
well as the cleverness with which they
were prepared above the flaming
lamps. The laurel was awarded to the
man who actually succeeded In serv-
ing a spring dinner in chafing dish

VALUABLE FIND OF FOSSILS.
Rich Discovery Of Professor Holmes
of the Smithsonian Institution
In Indian Territory.

Two miles north of Alton, I. T., there
is spring known as White Sulphur
springs, which is proving veritable
gold mine Tor the scientific world. It
is located on fiat prairie. 1t never
goes dry, but 1t is just now in the low
est stage ever known. 1t thus affords
an excellent opportunity for the in
vestigation conducted by Prof. w. II.
Holmes, head Of the bureau of ethnol-
ogy of the Smithsonian Institution, who,
accompanied by NJ. A. Gill, government
photogra pher, and an assistant, has
thoroughly explored the bog surround
ing the spring. They have accumulated
one of the most wonderful collections
of prehistoric remains ever brought to
the igh,' of science in any locality.
Prof. Holmes has filled numerous
boxes with teeth and bones of mas
todons, bears, wolf, deer and buffalo.
There is also box filled with val
liable stone relies of Indian tribes and
other races. Prof. Holmes only par
tally examined a space not over 10 by
Is feet and 10 feet deep. He thinks
the whole bog is filled with those de-
posts of prehistoric times.
