! the schools, and has been used with in- | creasing popularity by visitors to the Northfeld meetings for the last four 1 teen years, The "leafy month of June" | is delightful time to spend amid the
 many natural attractions of this old | town.
 The seminary was founded in Novem- 1 Der, 1S79-twenty-two years ago-With twenty-five students in MT. Moody's
 own home, and, like all MT. Moody's enterprises has been found to meet a great and growing need. The number of students enrolled last September the beginning of the school year-was
 396, the total registration for the year up to the present time being 4S0-the
 largest in the history of the seminary.
 The students come from all over the
 Union, thirty different states being thus represented The lumber received
 since the founding of the seminary is 2,85S.
 Applications for entrance come from all parts at home and abroad at the rate of about three or four hundred a year. The number of such applications since last fall, up to May 13, has been 225, with the expectation that they may reach nearly four hundred before the beginning of the school year next Sep tember. This pressure is far in excess of present accommodations. There are fifteen or sixteen buildings connected with the seminary, with capacity in nine dormitories for 292 students, whereas the total already in residence ie. ,~fa airrl,t C-xr ITl1T lp1a accommodated outside the seminary buildings. In this of course there is loss of control, and two more dormito- ries are imperatively needed, besides, (and yet more urgently better facili- ties for teaching the sciences.
 Northfeld seminary may be regard ed as a secondary school, preparing for college, for which the majority of the girls are ambitious. Their average age is eighteen years, coming largely from ungraded schools, from both crowded cities and country districts. Before entrance many have had but little during school life. Applications are dealt with individually and purely on merit, the considerations being previ- ous advantages, educational surround ings, need and ability to profit by training. The cost of training is about two hundred dollars a year. one-half being provided by the students and one half by the public benefaction. The entrance examinations are graded to suit almost all classes, and the Northfield Students Aid society ren- help to many a girl who could not oth- erwise secure her education.

WHEAT ANED hBHLK UNITED.
Weknown Physician Discovers of BIend ing Valuable Food Properties of Wheat With Pure
 NS!k-A Perfect Food Infants.

Having established the principle, Dr. Hand set about search for fac tory in a grazing section, far from even the probability of contamination of distillery slops or unhealthy cows. The plant was finally located ill the great clover fields near Ubly, Mich.
 Close at hand stands the factory scrupulously clean, light and airy to which the milk is taken direct from the fields. Here the processes are diff ferent from the practice of other con- densing plants. Each successive step in reducing the milk is taken after many tests for the qualities and con- ditions preparatory to the addition of the tasteless phosphates and hypo- phosphites, and when the process is completed it is truly,-as has often been said" the greatest health-giving and best condensed milk made.6
 Hundreds of mothers have discov- cred the wonderful food value of Dr. Hands Phosphatcd Condensed Milk. Following'is one of many letters from Bridgeport, Conp.:

TO END THE BOER WAR
TILHELlIINA'S 4LLEG ED MISSION
 TO GERMANY.
Report That She Gained the Kaiser's Consent to Invoke the Aid 0 the Hague Arbitration Court-Attitude of the Foreign Office Defined Great Britain Not Seeking Outside Interference.

Berlin. June 10.-The Kleines Jour nal to-day prints dispatch from the Hague saying that Queen Wilhelmina' S recent visit here was meant to obtain Emperor Williams consent to end the South African war, both the Zweibund and the Dreibund being willing to do so, through The Hague arbitration court, and that the emperor consented, and that the court began work there on. The dispatch has created a sensa- tion here.
 The Associated Press has just obtain ed the follow foreign office statement, which is authorized by Count von Bue- low, teh imperial chancellor:
 Neither England, France nor Rus sia ever approached Germany to parti- cipate in any action aiming at ending the South African war. Germany has all along distinguished between offer ing her good offices and intervention To render her good offices would be possible under certain circumstances, viz, If both parties to the war request 1t, but 1t will be remembered that Great Britain only joined The Hague conference on condition that the BOer states were excluded. There is no doubt that Mir Kruger, who is a serious statesman, came to Europe to obtain the good offices of several of the pow CTS to end the war, but there is also no doubt that Great Britain does not want their good offices.
 "At least, it is true that since the South African war began Great Brit ain has never either verbally or in writing, confdentially or officially, preached such an idea. It is quite pos- sible that the Boer side has now for mally asked The Hague arbitration court to lend it's aid to end the war somehow, and that the cour thas held a session regarding the matter, but that, of course, is entirely different from any serious steps to end the war"
 London, June IDA dispatch from The Hague says that the permanent arbitration committee of the court of arbitration met on Saturday to discuss the Transvaal question. It was decid- ed to offer mediation by Germany and Holland between Great Britain and the South African countries, but no date was fixed for such a step. The chief point of the proposals will be the independence of the two republics.

White Witch, who was a man. I never could be quite sure that he did
 not believe in himself.
 At Bedford yesterday Sarah Savers, widow, of Silver street, Bideford, was charged with prtending to tell the for tunes of William Hewitt and his fath- er, of Slade, Ilfracombe. On February 9 young Hewitt went to Bideford to see Mrs. Savers about his father, who was ill, and, he feared, i'll wished. Savers agreed that that was so, and that he son was also overlooked. She would cure them both for G3 3s. He paid her &1 10s, and she promised to visit Ilfro- combe on the Monday following. and that (sic) Hewitt must meet her He did so, and on the way home told her he had lost pig and some poultry, anG another pig he had was not worth any thing. She went to the pigsty, end also to the fowls house, and sprinlSled some powder there to cure them, and Et witt paid her a guinea. Then Savers gave him little bags, telling him the whole family must wear them round their necks. Going back to the faLhers house she gave him a little bag, and said they must tell no one for month. She said Hewitt, the father, had been overlooked by his master and mistress, MT. and Mrs. Slee They had been very kind to him. The woman was paid l2s. by Mrs. Hewitt. In cross-eXamlnatlon the witnesses admitted that the HeW- its did better. The defence was that Savers had only done what she Was asked to do and that she did not men tion either MT. or Mrs. Slee. She was fined e3 and e1 1Ss. costs-Fgcm Notes and Queries.

Dr. D. B. Hand, of Scranton, Pa, has spent thirty-six years in the prac- ticc of medicine, more than one-half of which has been devoted to the treatment of children. He is the originator of the Dr. Hand Remedies for Children, which arc largely used beyond the immediate circle of his practice.
 Ill his, large practice the doctor found the greater proportion of his little patients suffered from disorders arising from lack of proper nutri- ton. They had poor teeth, soft bones, little nerve force and lacked vivacity of spirits. Many parents realized the trouble but there was nothing to be had at price of money or endeavor to improve the wee bodies. Milk from the wagon was either adul- terated or was taken from animals themselves ill-nourished. There were prepared foods in any number, but the results demonstrated their principle wrong.
 To meet this dilemma and bridge this dangerous gap ill the food supply, Dr. Hand sought to assemble ill some very palatable form all the elements necessary to building perfect body.
 After many interesting experiments he succeeded in all effort to unite the phosphates and hypophosphites of wheat with the nutritious properties of pure milk. The blend Is perfect; !; the only effect appreciable to the taste being an enriching of the flavor and body of the milk.
 This phosphated, milk, as Dr, Hand calls it, affords phosphates of lime and soda, for teeth and bones hypo- ptosphites of potassium, for nerves and brain; hypophosphites of man ganese, to enrich the blood-which it does by increasing the number of its 1d corpusclcs

an age when the intellect of aost boys Is monpolized by marbles and ''shinny," he was absorbing Virgil, Horace, Taci- tust, Sallust, Suetonius, Livy, Cicero ovid, Catullus and Juvenal, and was equally well advanced in mathematics Af fifteen he read Plato and Hero lotus in the Greek as easily as most p1ys took Mayne Reid and Oliver Optic. He took up German, French, SD luisi, Italian, Portuguese, Hebrew and San skrit in turn, and dabbled in 2lGnce to fill in his spare time, all before he was eighteen. Then he went to liar yard. He took the regular course, and, too, that in law.
