STUDENTS DIFFER.
Question of Abolshrg Caps and Gowns to be
Reconsidered

There Is a division Of opinion among the
students of the University College OF Med
icine concerning the adjustment OF the
cap and gown by the graduating class.
which is going to be a live issue before
any decision is reached At a recent meet
ing of the fourth class it was decided to
do away with the cap and gown and re-
turn to the full dress suit, but since that
netting, strong opposition to that action
has sprung up and the question will come
up at an early class-meeting for reconsid-
Grafton and the chances are that the cap
and gown will be reinstated and the class
ic influence of their appearance of learn
ing will again add dignity TO the young

Erratio snnam Domestlcs.

Carson, the capital Of Nevada, Is
probably the only city in the country
where the "hired girl" is c squaw.
These squaws are all designated by
the handy cognomen sally" "Selly'
opens the kitchen door without the for
mality of a knock, and says "Mahayie
(woman), you want work done" Or,
simply, me heap hogadi," which signi.
fies that she is very hungry and de-
sires to work for a meal.
If you are an Eastern woman this is
apt to frighten you into fits the first
time. But after a bit you welcome
Sally gladly, and set her to scrubblng
the 1oor or washing the dishes or
clothes. Sometimes there is a Sally
who will come regularly for a weekly
wash day; but generally they will work
only when they are driven by hunger
The squaws never stay in Carson
over night, and no Eastern woman
fails to look from her window at SUN
set and watch them slowly making
their way along the tran in Indian
file TO their homes In the Forest

OUR BEST CUSTOMER.
A Revolution i'm oar Trade with Great
Britain.

n
Britain.
II Is In Great Britain that we find
in IFS fullest development the effect
Of the American commercial invasion
of the worlds markets. II is true that
American competition has been making
notable inroals into the commerce OF
all the countries in Europe. But i'm
portant as is the effect which has been
produced upon commercial conditions
in the Continental countries, that re-
suit is almost Insignificant when COM
pared with the consequence of this
competition in Great Britain. From the
beginning of our history England has
formed our most important market,
and for two generations at least we
have been the largest customers for
English products. In the last half
dozen years change has taken place
in the trade balance between the two
nations. which is, perhaps, the most
notable single commercial event to be
recorded in the last decade. We have
been steadily reducing our purchases
from the mother-country; we have been
making astounding increases in our
sales to her. Comparing, for instance,
the change which has taken place In
the trade movement between the two
nations in the last half-dozen years, we
see that our annual purchases from the
United Kingdom have dropped $4,000,
000 standing last year at $4,000,
900. In the same period cur sales to
Great Britain nearly doubled, going
up from 1887, 100000 in 1895 to $631,
100000 last year. This change In the
annual trade balance, showing for
us a more favorable total by $2G0,000
900 than we had six years ago, is
change Of such import as can only
mean revolutionary transformation 10
the industrial life of the two nations,
These figures are so significant that
they need to be dwclt on somewhat,
to fix in the mind their Importance.
Six years ago we sold to Great Britain
$22S,000,000 more than we bought.
Last year we sold to her SASS, 100000
more than our purchases. In every
business day last year we sent to
her $1,5O0,OOO more than VIC bought
For every dollars worth of goods we
bought we sold her four dollars and
forty one cents worth of our products.

Food by the Farthing,n worth.

Every little while the discovery is
made that the bread and butter prob.
lem is extremely simple, despite the
apprehension and distress it causes.
Censors of the wasteful poor show
that it is all question of economy.
With the proper selection Of foods
and the proper cooking of the same
repletion may be had for a few dimes
a week, and savings may be laid up
from the surplus which shall consti-
tute the foundations for such another
fortune as Mr.. Carnegies.
Most Of the reformers are wont TO
boast the virtues of a vegetable Ciet,
but for way down cheapness it would
be hard to beat the mixed regimen
which a correspondent of the Pail Mall
Gazette finds common in the White.
chapel district of London. In that
abode of poverty there are large mum
bers of what he calls "farthing shops"
The tradesmen who preside over them
put up farthing packages Of various
ediblcs and drinkables, and of the ccal
and firewOod to cook them. Purchasers
have the choice of bills Of fare that
are indicated thus:
ITO take the first meal Of the day, a
very good penny breakfast can be had
as follows: Bloater farthing, margar.
inc farthing, bread a farthing, coffee
a farthing; or two small kippers can
be substituted for the bloater AMI tea
fer coffee If desired. Should one de-
sire to breakfast in style and a two
course meal be preferred, a farthing
rasher Of bacon, a farthlng kipper,
farthingo worth Of bread and a far

readily obtained"
