rollment OF 345, OF which number 254 are

rollment in the medical school, ninety

planned by the fact that the recent change
in the length OF the medal course from
three years to four causes the school TO be

On Wednesday the Senate received
from the President the report of the
Isthmian Canal commission and the
Hay Pauncefote treaty. The pro-
visions of the treaty accorded with
the predictions made in these letters.

Britain in return for the abrogation of
the Clayton Bulwer treaty and leaves
the United States the sole master of
the canal with the right to fortify or
otherwise protect it, and requires the
simple pledge that the canal shall be
maintained as neutral waterway.

The trip OF the rural mail agent In
Maine during the winter months is not
exactly one OF pleasure. Rain or shine,
snow or blow, he must make his regular
trips, and deliver the letters and papers to
the people along the route comfortably
ensconced by their own firesides IL YOU
think the job OF the rural mail messenger
is a sinecure, imagine yourself with Mes
seDger Drummey, on his trip over the
Trenton, Oak Point and BHsside route,
during last Wednesdays blizzard The
wind was bowling out OF the north, piling
the snow in formida bic drifts. 1t was still
showing, and blowing great guns " hen
he left the postoffice at 8 O'Clock in the
morning. The blizzard had blocked
trains from the west, but train had run
down from Bangor with papers and let
tiers, and scattered along his route OF over
tweBty-three miles were families who
would welcome his coming, though few
expected him to get through. The snow
which tied up railroad trains did not
dsunt Messenger Drummey. People in
Ellsworth laughed at him W hen he started
out, and predicted that he would not get
over the Beechland hill. But with his
brave little horse, which is yet to see the
spowdrift 1t will not tackle, he started.
The trip was a memorable one. For
seventeen of the twenty-three miles he
covered, Mf. Drummey made the first
track. The island stage which followed
him WAS soon lost sight OF. In places,
drifts five feet deep were encountered, but
the little horse waiiowed through them
Four times ne went down, but was soon
on his feet, with courage as good as ever.
Mr.. Drummey was back at the Ellsworth
postoffice at 2 so O'Clock, having covered
his route in just 81 hours, the time limit
allowed him by the department, and not
only did he break seventeen miles OF road,
but handled the usual amount of mail.
The postal department may be pretty sure
after this that when any body can go over
the route, Mr.. Drummey will get there.

Army JOKE. win a Moral.

During the civil war" said an ex-
army officer, ''the authorities for some
reason were anxious to move troops up
the Tombigbee river. Word was sent
to the engineer In that district asking
what it would cost to run up the Tom
bigbee. That official got gay and re-
ported that the Tombigbee ran down
and not up, joke that promptly land
ed his head in the basket, as the mat
ter was serious.
"At the bombardment Of Charleston
it was extremely desirable to bring to
bear on the city an extra heavy gun
called by the men the Swamp Angel.
The gun took its name from the.swamp
in which it stood, and to move it
through that Doggy morass was an en-
gineering feat of extreme difficulty.
However, the commanding officers were
determined to have the gun brought
within range of Charleston and issued
orders to that effect. At the same time
they sent word to the engineer having
the matter in charge of requisition
without regard to trouble or expense
for anything necessary to accomplish
the desired object. His first requisi-
ton called for men &c feet inches in
height. Another officer promptly took
the matter in charge. from which it can
readily be deduced that it is not a pay
ing investment to make jokes in the
army at the expense OF your superiors."

A Contrn.t In Cooke.

In an article contributed to a London
paper John Strange Winter, who has
been living for many months past in
Bieppe, compares the French to the
English cook, rather to the detriment
of the latter. I'm the French Kitchen"
she says, ''there is no waste. 1t would
seem that the French mind does not
run to waste or revel in it as the lower
class English mind invariably does"
The French cook will not only do a
bit of the homework, but she will do it
cheerfully and as a matter of course.
You cannot buy your French cook too
many pans, and her soul loves copper
in her kitchen. Certainly an English
cook would grumble if she was expect
ed to keep kitchen full of copper pans
bright and clean, but a French one has
them in condition akin to FURNISHED
gold. Her pride is gratified If her
kitchen walls are hung with these or
naments, and even if she does the
greater part of her small cooking in
little enameied pans she will daily rub
up the copper ones which hang on the
wall"

A few days later. when showing a

ing, if possible, more a scarecrow than
ever.
.'Why are you still wearing those old
clothes, Mat?" he asked.
Sure, yer honor, they're the best
