NEW SHORT STORIES.
Meaning of Letters ON the Clouds.
Custom Versus Liberty-A Play
Upon Names.

The colonel has been among the
preachers some more and has brought
back another story. Ii may he new or
old. hut here il is: \ western council
was examining Il candidate for ordna-
lion to the ministry, and one OF the
councillors wanted to know why he
thought that he had call 10 preach.
The candidate said that he had felt
from his childhood that he ought To he
a preacher and that as he grew older
he had visions which had removed all
doubt from his mind.
What We're those visions?" asked
the hard hearted old moderator
The young man replied that as he sat
on the fence To rest while he was hoe
ing corn he would see visions on the
clouds. lie had seen the letters l..
c." as distinctly rs IL they had zen
painted there.
But what do those letters stand
for?"
why, they mean. Go preach Christ "
was the reply.
"You mean. Go plant corn" said the
moderator and the council adjourned.

PHYSICAL CULTURE.
Education In This Direction Should
Not be Neglected.

President Pritchett of the Massachu.
setts Institute of Technology makes
this announcement:
"rhe corporation has voted to estab-
Iish a department of physical culture
which shall have for its object not the
development of athletics in the acute
form. but the entire student body IN
the care of health. which shall inform
them as to the proper rules of exer-
else, which shall make physical In
spection Of each student who enters
and shall prescribe for him in the light
of such inspection the exercise suitable
for his need"
This deserves earnest attention
among educators on account of its re-
markable sanity.
An all round physical education is as
much a necessity as is an all round
education of the mental faculties. The
two should go hand in hand to the
making Of the perfected man.
Two many eccentricities have grown
up in athletics during the past FEW
years. Specialties and gymnastic fads
have become too popular President
Pritcbett's attempt to bring the SUD-
iect under the active control of the fac
ulty and generaize rather than spe'
cialize physical training Is IN the rlsn'
direction

CATCHING CICADAS.
How Certain Malnys Obtain q Curl

Certain natives OF the Malay peninsu.
la catch cicadas and eat them and that
as a considerable luxury. TO eat a ci-
cada seems distinctly curious, says the
London Daily Mail, when we reflect
that this insect is In reality a glorified
member of that insect group which
contains as its most prominent repre-
sentative the diminutive and swarthy
creature which shall be nameless here
for evermore
The way in which the Siamese pro-
ceeds was related to the Geological So

sects, At night, when these insects fly.
the native sallies forth armed with a
torch and but little ralment. The torch
is deposited in a convenient place. and
the swarm of natives proceed to clap
their hands In a perfectly regular fash
lon so as TO produce a considerable
sound
1t Is the combination of light and
sound that allures the cicada from its
haunts to its destruction. The insects
come also IN swarms and settle upon
the bodies of the applauding natives.
whence they are easily detached. pre-
served. cooked and eaten.
The Greek sage remarked that happy
are the cicadas in that they have voice

cicadas who are attracted by what
they fondly believe to be the love cry
of the male and are thus lured to their
fate by that most dangerous of pas

A Play Inon NameA.

A bonmot survives the passing of ad-
minstratiOns and, like the bread cast
upon the water. sometimes returns aft
er many days, as Robert w. Tayler Of
Ohio can testify. From group of CON
genial spirits gathered in his commit
tee room just before the holidays one
gentleman recalled story of Il con-
gressional visitor to the department of
the interior soon after Mr.. McKinley's
first Inauguration. Mr., Bliss was then
the head of the department and was
found in earnest conversation with Mr..
John s. Wise of New York, formerly
of Virginia. II am entirely ignorant
on that subject" protested the secre-
tary after long parley. during which
the congressman was waiting. 81 am
sorry can give you no information
about it"
".Ah. where ignorance is Bliss 'tis
folly to be WISE" interposed the CON
gressional caller, as the former Vir-
ginian walked away.
Mr.. Tayler's eyes twinkled at the re-
membrance of the story, in which he
had been the central figure. 1T is Il
