College Vacations. Toe Lung

Professor Charles s. Minoi 81 he

studying the question OF vacations in
colleges. and he concludes. as he states
in an article In Science, that the
amount OF vacation "is very exces-
siye." with the vacation shortened
Il would be easily possible to bring
young men into active life a year
earlier than is now possible. and that
would be an immense gain" There
Isn't much doubt Of that. But 1t will

THE ART OF GRADUATION.

What a pleasing and painful occupa.
Is the tiresoma task of preparation
To undergo the operation
Known to the world as graduation.
For several years you're steadily stuff
fing
Up the hill of knowledge painfully puff,
ting.
For several months your brain you're
racking
For the lofty thoughts in your essay
lacking.
For several weeks your dress you're
trying.
Its adjuncts fixing or buy,
ing.
How much Of fuss and elaboration
Belongs to the art OF graduation!
Put at last you rise with some elation
And the least appearance Of imitation
And think ere the night has again de.
scehded
The wondrous process will he ended.
But when it's DER you cannot say
In what the Transformation lay.
Still you can cry with %jubilatiOn.
i've mastered the art Of graduation

c. M Lee & Co.'S Letter to Cothran
 & Co.
 New, York. August 23.-As we fore shadowed yesterday, today's market has ruled generally firm. notwithstanding ac- tive selling for profits by the smaller lorgs. customary on Saturday. The pre- diction from Washington for rain gen orally over the central and eastern belt. and for possible showers over important districts of the western belt, failed to counterect the influence of further bull isl, private crop telegrams which were numerous. The demand for cloths at Fall River ard Providence reflects hesitation on the part of buyers, but in dry goods centers there Is notable shaking together of dry bones. with buyers now apparently willing to listen to the offers of sellers.
 A feature of the local market was the strong support in the near positions, Au- gust and September being in active de- mand for the account of several we'll known spot cotton and export houses Wall street was again very much in evil dence as buyer of January. and the lead ing bear operators were seen to be quiet iy absorbing the winter months in gen. eral.

New Orleans Market.

New Orleans, August 23. - Consistent with the improvement in conditions at Liverpool and in Keeping with the de- cidedly strong undercurrent now running in the market for contracts, spot cotton today showed a further slight tendency to harden and factors in some instances were influenced to withdraw their offer ings altogether to await an anticipated upward turn on Tuesday next, when it is thought the bureaus monthly report of crop conditions will prove to be so unfavorable as to precipltate a big ad- vance in contract values and necessarily carry spots up with them. Sales were 650 bales including 15O to arrive. Quotations unchanged.
