For the past weeks the members
of the Physics class have been pa
tiently studying the various theories
Of electricity and its manifold appli
cations. The mechanism and work
ing Of the motor and dynamo re-
ceived no little attention. Besides
the many experiments performed in
the laboratory, the electric light
plant was thoroughly inspected with
a view to determing the working and
relation Of the numerous appurte-
nances Of such an establishment. If
the interest manifested in the plant
and the number Of questions asked
are a criterion on which to base q
conclusion, then we must infer that
all the members Of the class are well
informed on the science and practi-
cal working of an electric light
plant. 1T is but fitting that in con-
nectiOn with this we return thanks
to the gentlemen in charge of the
plant for the kindly manner in
which they received the class, and
for the time spent in explanation of
the workings Of each and every part
of the machinery.

sigument of Mondays lessons and the
remainder of the hour given to a
short program. The affair was en-

wishes to tender her gratitude to the

and creditably responded to an al
most extemporaneous call. A well

more 'grassy, cloverly and home-like
than 'Idyl,'" ." as the author expresses
himself to his publisher. Lars con-
tains many fine pictorial descriptions
and character sketches, as well as
some beautiful quotations. The auth
or has displayed great tact in sus-
tanning the interest to the close, by
mipgling with these descriptions a
simple Norwegian love story. The
class has enjoyed reading this poem
very much and Miss Jones has made it
so interesting that the majority Of the
class say it is too short, but we must
think that "All's we'll that ends we'll"
Many beautiful quotatations will be
long remembered, but none longer
than the closing lines, which every
Freshman might make his motto:
Each separate star
Seems nothing, but myriad
scattered stars
Break up the night, and make
it beautiful
Problems directly connected with
the practical application of electricity
are interesting the Physics class this

with pleasure to the event. The class
expects that it may yet produce a

AS the regular examinations are
on March 5th, 9th and 7th, we think
this clipping from the school notes
of another school may be profitable
to US.
"There is ample time before the
examinations begin to make a thor
ough review in every subject one is
studing without much pressure by
simply utilizing the odd moments
usually spent neither in work or re-
creation, but simply wasted. The
student can review a little each day.
A review conducted in this manner
is worth something. The student
who makes his review a matter of
weeks rather than hours, should
come to his examinations with a
clear head and light heart. If any
of us have been letting our work
slide there is still time to take
brace. But that brace should be
taken soon. The sliding should not
continue up to the time of examina-
tions, or an attempt to cram at the
last moment will be decidedly up hill
work. OUR PHILOSOPHER.
Not "Blue Monday" today! The
teachers report the best Monday since

The Senior class are working on
Hamlet. With all the conveniences
of the old Globe Theater, we hope to
develop some skill in dramatic art.
We have the gentle Ophelia, the
clever PolOnius, and even the serious
Prince of Denmark himself: but where
is the part of the ghost? The Senior
class has no available material.
Will some one from the other classes
volunteer?

often produce an excess of drones, which,Sas
they only eat honey and make none, are by
no means popular with bee farmers. Ger
tain proportion, perhaps Is per cent of the
occupants of the hive, must be drones, for
the queen is capricious in her choice of a
mate, and must have a wide field for selection,
and moreover the bees do not work well with
out the incentive given to support their board
ers. =... p . ..- -s-
1T isn't safe to interfere too much with
their breeding places at the start, but later
in the season many drones lose their heads
atthe edge of sharp knife which decapitates
them in the cell before they are hatched.
THE drones have no stings and no influence
in the hive. They take short afternoon
fight each day, and for the rest of the time
remain in inactivity. -s..~t
1.-The worker bees tolerate them so long as
there is an abundance of food, but after frost
shuts down on the bloom l will come out in
the yard some morning to find the ground
streWn with dead drOneS. The workers have
tired of the drones and thrown them out Pa
tience has ceased to be a virtue. The ur-
lucky drones are caught wing and leg and
elected, and the entrance to the hive is closed
and they are left to freeze or starye as the
case may be.
bees are good citizens if they are treated
right, but they do not like to be interfered
with and they are nervous and excitable
They become ugly if the hives are opened for
honey when the weather is cold or at night
for they know that cold air is bad for the
young bees in the brood chamber, and II
once they get angry they apt to stay so
and to resent even the commOnest familiart-
ties for the entire season.
my bees are good-tempered because I have
crossed them but little. A bee never stings

THE FASHIONABLE FOB

The fob is now permanently established in
fashionable feminine favor and appears in
as numerous and constantly varied designs
as does the fob for mems wear.
Reproductions in silver of antique coins are
in vogue for the decoration Of women's fobs.
One, for example, is formed of three silver
medallions, graduated in size, bearing three
different antiquestu dies of the head OF Mi
nerva Sometimes a single medallion with
the profile of the helmet-crowned goddess of
wisdom is suspended by heavy silver ring
from a black ribbon fob.
! The signet seal is one Of the smartest and
most approved pendants for this fashionable
feminine accessory. 1t is of gold, carved
with monogram or crest and is attached to
ribbon or leather fob.
Leathers of various kinds and colors are
used for fobs and in width ranging from one
inch to barely more than one-quarter. A
one-half-inch wide fob Of black morocco has
for a. pendant an Indian warriors head in
French gray silver. "A handsome gold signet
swings from a one-haH-inch wide black fob.
Then there are fobs of lizard skin, black
tan and gray walrus, pigskin and various
other materials that can be laundered.
