COLLEGE Oeqrees.

Harper's Weekly seems to have Sc
cured more information in reference to
the meeting of college presidents that
occurred here few weeks since than
other outsiders. 1t says of the proceed
ings:
1.-The discussion of the question of
shortening the course for the B. A. de
gree is increasing in interest. President
Elliot, having turned four years into
three, undertook to defend his action at
the recent meeting of New England col
lege presidents at Middlebury, VT. He
showed that by means of work in vaca-
tions (Which is not done, by-the-way, by
undergraduates) by raising the stand
ard of admission to the freshman class,
by greater intensity of work, the
studies of four college years may be
damned into three. He frankly con-
fessed that he was yielding to the pres
sure of the material world, and that the
cries of the professional schools were
ringing in his ears. He met calm, and
apparently an exasperating, resistance
from the presidents and other represent
atives of the small colleges.
president Tucker, of Dartmouth,
pointed to the fact that the proportion of
undergraduates who were not going to
enter professions is increasing, and he
urged proper regard for their interests.
He took position that must appeal
with increasing force to those who want
an education for the mere sake of its
discipline and of Its Embellishments,
that the youth who go TO college for the
training and illumination of the course
which leads to the b. A. degree have a
right to demand the full measure of the
liberal culture of which this degree is
the sign and seal.
"He was followed by the president of
Middlebury college, who made strong
plea for ripening leisure, which Presi-
dent Eliot rather sensitively construed
into plea for idleness. 1t was, how
ever, in reality strong and convincing
statement OF the claims of the spiritual
element of the students. In brief, the
meeting showed decided inclination on
the part of the small college to fol-
low In the way pointed out by Williams
last summer, at the Inauguration of DR..
Hopkins, and emphasized a fortnight
ago by President Woodrow Wilson at
Princeton. There seemed to be fore
shadowed an interesting struggle be-
tween spirit and matter, and 1t is in
keeping with the admirable traditions of
the small colleges of New England that
they are sure to give battle for the finer
and the spiritual side"

real estate set in the grand list; and the
excess of individual deposits above 81 800
taxed to the individual depositors in this
state.
The commissioner shows that all of
the books of the savings banks and trust
companies are subject to the inspection
of the commissioner of taxes and of the
state inspector of finance, who makes
regular inspections; and he concludes
that the present system of the state is
just to these corporations and most ad-
vantageous to the individual taxpayers.
lie recommends that the statute dealing
with the computation of the taxable sur
plus of insurance companies be made to
specify that all of the gross admitted
assets of such company, after deducting
therefrOm the necessary reserve on eX
isting policies, the valuation of all prop.
erty taxed locally and such items as
may be exempted, shall be subject to a
tax of one per cent.
Commissioner Cushman devotes con-
siderable space to the question of the
method of taxing railroads and expresses
the opinion that the rate on the APP
praisal should be large enough at least
to equal the rate upon the gross earn
ings basis, if it is to be the future policy
of the state to tax railroads upon their
gross earnings.
The report is replete with information
that will be useful as well as interesting
to legislators and others, and in view of
the comprehensive character of the sub
jet handled the data used is presented
in remarkably concise and intelligent
manner.

a twentieth Century Sunday.

The following Is from a private letter
received from an old Middlebury bow,
who is now In his second year of travel
in Europe. He gives a lucid account of
a twentieth-century Sunday in the
birth place of Calvinism:
To any one who is acquainted with
the futile attempts of our American cities
to make Sunday "dry" day, it is
rather interesting to observe the way
in which the people of a sister republic
pass Sunday. In Geneva, which is
naturally more French than German in
its character and customs, Sunday is
accepted and observed as festival. not
a holy day. OF course some of the peo-
pie go to church, but the vast majority
proceed to get all the worldly enjoyment
out of it that is possible within fifteen
hours.
The shores of the lake and even the
principal bridges are thronged with men
and boys fishing. There are excursions
to neighboring towns, to the mountains
and upon the lake. BY midday several
societies, headed by brass bands, are
marching through the streets, and half
the shops are open for business. Soon
crowds are seen hurrying to the theatres
to attend the special matinees; others
to the shooting parks or some athletic
entertainment: but the cafe is the center
of attraction to most of those who are
off for a restful Sunday afternoon.
There are no saloons in the American
sense of the word, except as they have
been introduced as novelties under the
name Of English or American bars; but
the cafe = the open all, Vienna cafe
is everywhere. In the parks there are
large kiOsks where meals are served and
concert is rendered by good orches-
ira. These places are usually well
patronized on Sunday by family parties,
and men, women and children sit and
sip their light drinks, laugh and chat,
and otherwise seem TO enjoy themselves.
The cafe is often run In connection with
restaurant or small hotel, especially
those to which the common people re.
sort.
In the evening, after the plat du jour
has been despatched, the table covers
are removed from the polished hard
wood tables, and by nine o'clock the
room is crowded. Here it is that many
of the Swiss societies hold their meet
party of French tourists hold banquet,

THE BEST REMEDY FOR GROUP.
From the Atchison, Kan, Daily Globe :,

This is the season when the woman who
knows the best remedies for Group is in de-
mand in every neighborhood. One of the
most terrible things in the world is to be
awakened in the middle of the night by a
whoop from one of the children. The Group
remedies are almost as sure to be lost, in case
of Group, as a revolver is sure to be lost in
case of burglars. There used to be an old
fashioned remedy for Group, known as hive
syrup and tulu, but some modern mothers say
that Chamberlains Cough Remedy is better,
and does not cost so much. 1t causes the
patient to "throw up the phlegm" quicker,
and gives relief in shorter time Give this
remedy as soon as the croupy cough appears
and it will prevent the attack. 1t never fails
and is pleasant and safe to take. For sale by

taken to excess. Occasionally a work
ing man be comes very cheerful after
his bottle of wine and entertains the
company with song and dance. No
attention is paid to him and he soon
quiets down and departs. This sort of
entertainment is kept up until between
eleven and twelve O'Clock, by which
latter hour everybody has departed.
There is no law against keeping open
after certain hour, but most Of the
cafes are closed by midnight.
Everything is done in very democra.

TR|FL|NG WITH YOUR HEALTH
Is like Playing with a loaded
Gun. If you have Kid
ney Trouble attend
to it at once.

1t is easy to tell whether your Kidneys
or bladder are diseased. Take bottle or
glass tumbler and fill it with urine. If
there is a sediment-a powder-like sub
stance-after standing day and night, if
it is pale or discolored, ropy or stringy,
there is something wrong with the Kid
neys. Other sure signs of disease are a
desire to urinate often, pain in the back,
or if your urine stains linen.
There is no question that DR.. David
Kennedy's Favorite Remedy is the best
and surest medicine in the world for dis
eases of the Kidneys, Liver, Bladder and
Blood, Rheumatism, Dyspepsia, Chronic
Constipation, and the sicknesses peculiar
to women. 1t quickly relieves and cures
inability to hold urine and the necessity
of getting up number of times during
the night, and puts an end to the scalding
pain when passing urine.

Corn Smut.

Gamgee, conducting experiments for
the department of agriculture, Wash
ington, years ago fed forty pounds of
corn smut to two COWS without ill eff
fects, says w. A. Henry in Breeders
Gazette. More recently the depart
ment of agriculture fed corn smut to
heifers likewise without ill effects. At
the Michigan station Smith fed corn
smut to four COWS. The maximum
daily allowance reached eleven pounds
Of smut per COW. When this allowance
was reached, one cow showed indispo
sition for time, but soon returned to
normal health. At the Wisconsin sta
ton the writer fed carefully cleaned
smut to two cows. When the allow
ance reached thirty-two ounces per
other COW continued to eat more and
more until she was consuming sixty
four ounces per day and was fattening
rapidly upon the fair grain ration CIV
en-. Then death suddenly ensued
1t is certain that under ordinary con-
ditions smut is not injurious to cattle.
1t is possible that in certain years or
with certain animals it may be poison
Gus or that certain animals become
abnormal in appetite and seek large
quantities of smut in the stalkfelds
and consuming this brings on trouble
or death. More experiments are need
ed

Feed of the Dairy Cow.

An important point to consider in
making the dairy business pay is the
feed Of the COW, writes Roscoe White
in Kansas Farmer. The cow should
have succulent food and as much varie-
ty as it is possible to provide for her
To get best results you must give her
a balanced ration. A milk cow needs
feed with lots of protein and not as
much fat as the beef cattle require. In
making a balanced ration it should con
sist of foods not too laxative and not
too constipative and should be made OF
laxative foods combined with some
constipative food to equalize the ra-
ton. The food should not be all grain
nor all hay. The hay should be put UP
in the best condition possible and not
let stand until it gets hard and stem
my. but should be cut while yet green
as this gives it a more succulent char
acter.
Every dairyman should have silo
and put up his feed as silage so as to
have green feed through the winter
This makes a very succulent feed fol-
the COWS and is about the cheapest way
of putting up feed. A cow fed about
thirty or forty pounds of ensilage day
will give excellent results.

Our citizens were startled and alarmed
last week by the report that a case of
smallpox existed in town, Mr. Aaron At
kinson being afflicted with the dread
disease On Friday Eddie Osmundson,
who had been indisposed for some days,
was pronounced to be suffering from the
scourge, and before the end of the week
third case had developed, Mrs John
Slime being the sufferer. All three cases
have been most carefully isolated, and
as no new cases have developed since
Sunday it is thought by our physicians
that there will be no further spreading
of the disease. The contagion was
brought here by Frank Atkinson from
Des Moines, Iowa, where he had been
sick week previous to his coming home
for the Christmas vacation. During his
visit here he was all broken out but ap-
parently was ignorant of having small
pox and worked in the ice harvest with
Osmundson, Ross Hyland and others,
and also attended the New Years ball at
the armory.

They CRUSH The POWERS

This is written in mid October. The long,
oppressive summer is quite gone. Fading
leaf, whitening tree and the rustling corn in
the fields are signs of the season. Fog,
frost, rain, snow,--they are coming. You
remember last winter; of 1900 and 1901.
The weather was cruel ALL the thous-
ands it killed, and the hundreds of thous-
ands it MANNED and crippled. Oh, the
rough grasp it laid on men at work, women
at home, and children in cribs and cradles.
sCoughs that began before Thanksgiving
Day are racking and tearing them still; yes,
and growing worse as they dig deeper into
the poor, tired throat and lungs. Many
were cured by using Benson's Porous Plas-
ters. For the soothing and healing power
of these Plasters is wonderful. They con-
duer the complaints

Pack Rutter With Care.

Butter for shipment or for the home
market should have much greater care
than is usually given at the farm
dairy, says New England Homestead.
Of course the size and kind Of package
will depend upon the demands of the
customers. If tubs are wanted, see
that the butter is put in solidly. The
top may be smoothed off evenly by
means of straight edge or wire. A
cloth is then spread over the top Of the
tub, and a light layer of salt is sprin-
kIed over the cloth. If prints are
wanted, see that they are carefully
and neatly made, are wrapped in parch-
ment paper and carefully packed. Use
special care with small packages de-
signed for custom trade.

to meet the present wants OF dalrymen.
The animals would be altogether too
expensive, even if it were possible to
find them. Again, it may be doubted
whether any advantage would be gain
ed in the mere production Of milk over
crossing Of common stock with thor
oughbreds. The grade animal as a
mixer may prove equal to or even bet
ter than the thoroughbred. The only
course for the most of dairymen is to
start with a good herd of native COWS
having good dairy types, use a thor
oughbred bull and breed up to the quail
tiles desired.
