QUAINT COLLEGE LAWS.

Rules Prescribing the Dress of Har-
ward students In Bygone Days.
The curious laws regarding students
Dress which prevailed at Harvard up to
the middle of the last century are Illus
trated by two eighteenth century waist
coats which are among the collections
OF the Boston Art museum. One wis
worn by member Of the class of 1740
and the other by his son in 1884.
The latter waistcoat Is olive green in
color. conforming to the college regula-
tions. which required either blue gray,
plain black, "nankeen"-a kind of buff
or olive. The coat and breeches which
originally went with 1t, as one may
read In the old time Harvard Laws"
were blue gray. Freshmen of that date
were allowed only plain buttonholes,
sophomores leaped to the dignity of
having buttons on their cuffs. juniors
might have inexpensive frogs to their
buttonholes except that they might not
have them on their cuff buttonholes.
and the senior enjoyed frogs, button
holes and buttons complete. Seniors
and Juniors were permitted also to
wear black Oxford gowns. such as are
worn at graduation today. and might
gown" or dressing gown. was per-
missible on certain unimportant occa-
sions. 1t cost mot more than 10 shil-
lings" for every appearance of gold or
silver adornment.
The rules of costume were changed,
OF course, from time to time. In 1923
for example. the prescribed dress con-
sisted of a black mixed coat, single
breasted. with a rolling cape square
at the end and with pocket flaps, the
waist reaching to the natural waist,
with lapels of the same length" 1t Is
explained that "black Mixed" called
also oxford mixed, was black with not
more than one-twentieth nor less than
one-twenty-ffth part of white. The
senior was allowed to support his dig
nifty with three 'crow's feet" of black
silk cord on the lower part of his coat
sleeve. Two crows feet were permitted
TO the junior, one to the sophomore and
none at all to the freshman. The waist
coat was of black mixed or of black or,
when of cotton or linen fabric, of white;
single breasted. with standing collar.
The pantaloons were of black mixed.

Little bendings are In progress all the
time the world over. The 'immovable"
hills are bowling and scrapng to each
other constantly. Every evening, as the
dew settles in the valleys between
them, they nod to one another. SO like
wise do the mountains, even to a great
er extent. Gravity is Juggling all the
time.
And in London, too. where earth
quake sensations are practically un-
known, the earth bends daily. and the
buildings, like the hills and the noun
tains, nod to their friends opposite
when the morning traffic begins. On
Sunday usually their manners take a
rest excepting in such places as Petit
coat lane, where business flourishes in
as lively a fashion as in Paris.
Heine said that even the trees made
obeisance to Napoleon l when he enter
ed Berlin. This was imaginative, yet
truthful, for the weight of the crowd
along Inter den Linden made fitting
sufficient for Professor Mines pendu-
lums to have recorded distinctly. One
might say the crust of the earth acts
like steel spring, it bends so easily

A Joke ON = Professor,

Among some intensely amusing col
lege scrapes told by "a Graduate" in
The Ladies' Home Journal is the story
Of a certain professor not much liked
by his pupils who was to be married.
The lady lived in Cleveland. And the
students that loved (O him were not
Of course invited. But they determin-
ed that in some way he should hear
from them. And he did. On the day
appointed the professor took the train
at 10 a. m, due to arrive at Cleveland
at 1890 p. m. About IL o'clock Jim
Townsend rushed to the telegraph Of
fee and sent off this dispatch:
"Chief Of Police, Cleveland: Man
coming on train No. 6, tall, we'll dress
ed, frock coat, silk hat, side whiskers.
Escaped lunatic. Hold. Shrewd, there
fore beware. Strange case. Will say
name Finalll. Mistake. Thinks he 10
professor in q college. Delusion. Es-
cort to home of friends at No. - Euc-
lid avenue"
This message reached it's destination
long before train No. 6 reached Cleve-
land, so that when Professor Finalll
alighted it was to walk straight into
the custody of three detectives. They
would listen to no words of reason, but
escorted him out to the house on Euclid
avenue, the home of his intended bride.

You often hear of rendering a rattle
snake harmless by pulling out its
fangs. Then. again, you read of cases
where a serpent so treated has bitten
persons fatally. The reason for this Is
that poisonous snake is deprived only
temporarily of its venomous powers by
the extraction of the two incisors in
the upper jaw. at the bases of which
are the poison glands. OF course you
know that the fangs are hollow, so
that when the animal strikes the vei-
ON gnsbes through them into the flesh
of the person struck. Now. by draw
ing the two teeth the snake may be
rendered harmless for a few weeks,
but after n short time the two teeth
just behind the original fangs move up
and take their places, making connec-
tion with the poison glands and thus
becoming poison fangs as good and eff
fective as the old ones.

HOrnea and Cold.

Colonel Sir T. II. Holdich. writing In
"The Indian Borderland" of the terrible
storms and wind and snow which over
take the traveller on the high passes of
the Herat mountains. remarks on the
superior power Of the horse to with
stand cold. In one such storm lover
twenty men persisted and many mules.
All the dogs with the caravan were
dead. but, SO far as | can remember,
no horses. Yet some Of the chargers of
the Eleventh Bengal lancers got slowly
on their legs the day after the blizzard
literally sheeted with Ice as an ironclad
sheeted with steel" 1t is fact worth
noting that the horse will stand cold
where a mule or camel will not and
where a dog will die.

trade, which under prohibitlve duties on
foreign imports has been enabled to
build up business so strong and great
that 1t not only monopolizes the trade of
this country but has branched out and
grasped much of the foreign trade. But
because the prohibitive duties on foreign
imports still hold good, the steel manu-
facturer requires the home consumer to
pay In some cases almost double the price
charged abroad, even though transporta-
ton must be paid on the exports. He
knows that the home consumer has no
choice but to pay, while abroad the goods
have to meet competition. 1t is not a
question Of cost of production, but Of
how much the consumer can be forced
to pay; and back of this scheme Of
robbery are the high duties of the pro-
tectIve tariff, which having in this case
long ago served their object of legitimate
protection, are still maintained to bolster
up a trust which defies all law.

A NEEDED VILLAGE IMPROVEMENT.

1t is stated with authority that the
Rutland Railroad company will spend
one million dollars for improvements
along its line. Plans In detail have not
yet been perfected. Here is an oppor-
tunity for Middlebury's village board to
put In an application for the improve
ment of the unsightly. ditch now used by
the road in the very heart of the village.
A tunnel is perhaps too much to ask Of
the corporation, but street high retain.
ing-walls with iron fences surmounting
them would be vast improvement over
the present ditch and its lS-cents-a-y yard
wire fence. The triangle in the center
OF the village, one side of which is formed
by the aforesaid railroad cut, can be
made the beauty-spot of the town !;
but so long as the railroad compa-
ny neglects to improve its right-of-
way, the effect of any attempt the vii
lage might make would be wholly mar
red. AS 1t is, the many improvements
made by the village in recent years, such
as concrete paths through and around
the adjacent well-kept park and macad-
amized streets AUDITING on the railroad
property, have brought out the shah
biness of the railroads ditch and "dry"
bridges In most painful, not to say
violent, contrast. The REGISTER be-
lieve that il this matter were brought to
the attention OF the proper railroad
authorities, the subject would be taken
under adyisement and If found within
the bounds of reason as regards expense,
the Improvement desired would follow.
This is matter that every citizen who
has paid special taxes for recent i'm
provements is interested in. The tax
payer has done his part loyalty; the
railroad company cannot afford to be less
liberal.

Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Covert were the
victims of most successful surprise
party on Wednesday evening at their
home on Weybridge street. Though the
surprise was complete, they were equal
to the occasion, and the conspirators

fine chair, which was presented by
f. Shambo. Fine refreshments were
served during the evening.
May Parker's Pickaninnes and Con-
cert Co. played here last Friday evening

the young violiniste, proved to be the
most acceptable, judging from the very
fattering reception each of her numbers
received. Miss Parker, Miss Baker and
the other members of the company main
tanned their positions as entertainers of a
very high degree Of merit.

A legitimate ard successful use of the
protective tariff may be found in the
tin-plate industry. 1t was less than a
decade ago that the business was estab-
lished in this country. At that time it
was declared that it could not succeed
against the Welsh imported article with
out protection, so this was accorded.
Now, after these few years of grounding,
the announcement comes from Pittsburg
that with new machinery just put in
the mills there will be able to compete
with the foreign manufacturers without
the aid of the protective tariff. In this
and most laudable purpose. The reverse
