Self Help Tn Case of Fire.

As house is never attacked by fire at the top and bottom at once, if there is safe and ready exit at both top and bottom very little danger to life is to be feared It is important that all exits should be so known as to De easi- ly found hy day or night by every in- mate of the house. If the clothes you have on catch fire. a blanket. rug or some such woolen article should be quickly and tightly wrapped around you. Air is thus excluded. and the fire goes out.

They Didn't Interfere.

Governor Bob Taylor of Tennessee had heart as tender as woman, and the way he pardoned out convicts was something awful. He was waited upon by committee of the legislature, who very fatly and in no uncertain way told him that this "wholesale pardon ing must stop"
 "Govner Bob" looked at the commit tee, tapped bell, asked for his pardon clerk and when he came said
 Make out pardons for every man in the penitentiary."
 The clerk bowed and withdrew. Then the governor looked at the committee, who were staring as if they thought he was going mad.
 "Gentlemen." he said finally, q am governor of Tennessee, and if this con- mittee or any other ever again seeks to interfere with my constitutional right to pardon I'll sign every one of those pardons which the clerk is making out. Good morning."-Denver Times.

Blood Vessels of the Eye.

Purlinje discovered very simple md highly entertaining experiment by, means of which the retina, with all it's veins and blood vessels standing out in relief against it, can be thrown into the air before ones eyes. It is called the aborescent figure, to it's likeness to a many branched tree, and is produced in the following manner: In dark room at night move a candle backward and forward before the eyes. After few seconds the air will assume reddish appearance, and running over it in all directions may be seen the veins and blood vessels in bold relief, while to- ward the center of the figure there rises up dark trunk, from which the veins branch out on all sides.
 The trunk is visible where the optic nerve enters the eye, and this eXperi- ment is chiefly interesting to the stu dent as proving that the parts of the retina which actually receive and pro- duce the sensation of light must lie be- hind the blood vessels, since these cast their shadow on to it and cen be seen as clearly as any other object exter- nally.

Our Varied Seasons.

The longest cold season in the United States is found in the Rocky mountain region, where it exceeds the warm by about ten days. The warm season in Texas and the lower Missouri valley opens about ten days earlier than in the region near the middle Atlantic coast and from twenty to twenty-five days earlier than on the southern coast of California. In the northwest the warm season opens from twenty to twenty-five days earlier than in the lake region and from fifteen to twenty days earlier than in the north Pacific coast region.

Regard For Sacred Trees.

Throughout the length and breadth of India the Ficus religiosa. under which Buddha rested for seven years plunged in divine thought, is dedicated to religious worship and may on no ac- count be felled or destroyed. Wi,I more universal but not less sincere rev. erence do the peasants of Russia pros- trate themselves before the trees which they are about to cut and deprecate the vengeance of the deities whose rest ing places they then proceed to de. stroy.-Gentleman's Magazine.

 Frank Hatton was a great stickler for details" said former representa- tive of congress who had been in Washington when MT.

He let 1t be known among the heads of bureaus and divisions that he proposed to fa- miliarize himself with the business of the department until he had grasped all the details of the work over which he presided.
 "The second day at his desk the ven. erable colored messenger who attended him brought the usual large bundle of letters to be signed. It was pile of typewriter epistles. inches thick. The messenger placed them before MT. Hat ton and. with plotting pad in hand, stood waiting for the signature. as he had done for Mir. Hatton's predecessors since Hayes time. The first letter was a long one on topic with which the new postmaster general was not famil- far and so formal, legal and involved that one reading did not make its meaning clear. Mir. Hatton hesitated. wrinkled his forehead and unused to himself:
 "'Whats this all about anyway? It's all news to me. don't know whether approve of the things 1t says or not. 1 cant make head or tail out of 1t. don't know whether it's good thing or not
 "The old messenger, standing with plotting pad raised leaned over and placed his forefinger on the space at the end of the last page and answered:

THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN.
Last Meeting of the Present Board Last

Last Meeting of the Present Board Last
 Night.
 The last meeting of the present board of aldermen was held last night, the session being an adjourned one. It was late before the board was called to or der by President Hubbard, the delay being caused by the lack of a quorum. When the session finally began just a uuorum-sixte members--was pres erlt.
 The report of the special committee on the issue of the s20,000 worth of school bonds asked for by the board of education was received, recommending that the issue to that amount be au- thorized Alderman Wallace spoke strongly against authorizing the issue, and Aldermen Miller, Wright and J. J.. Walsh spoke for it. Alderman Wallace moved an amendment to provide for the issue of s10000 worth of bonds, but the amendment was defeated and then the committee recommendation was adopted
 The board concurred with the coun- cilmen in ordering the extension of Sec ond street after Alderman Savers an- nounced that objection to the extension had been withdrawn.
 An answer was received from City Engineer Kelly in reply to question addressed to him as to whether any layout had ever been made for the ex- tension of Pearl street, from Orange street to Whitney avenue. The city en- gineer stated in his reply that the mat ter of the extension first came up in 1871, but that no layout had ever been made. The matter was then referred to the incoming court of common coun- cil
 The resolution authorizing the sale of West Rock park land to l.. Wheeler Beecher recommended by a special committee, was taken up. This mat ter has been pending for a long time, and the strongest kind of lobbying has been brought to bear to get the resolu- tion through. Finally ex-Mayor Dris- coll secured a temporary injunction to restrain the sale of the land, and the matter of the permanency of the in- junction is still pending in the courts In view of this fact the whole matter was referred to the incoming board.
 Then, after the transaction of some minor business and voting thanks to the president and other officers of the board for efficient services, an adjourn ment sine die was taken.

OMEGA LAMBDA CHI NIGHT
YALE STUDENTS HAD fl ROYAL
 CELEBRATION
Second Regiment Band Furnished Music--CharIes Gould Marshal of the Exercises es-Tug-of-War Between the Freshmen and s0phomoEes-Strain so Great That Heavy Rope Was Broken- College Songs and Cheers.

The annual celebration of Omega
 Lambda Chi took place on the Yale campus last evening. Fully 2,50O stu 1 dents were assembled and the enthu- siasm was that and only that of Yale | assemblage. The exercises of the eye-
 ming began promptly at 6:45, when the Second Regiment band struck up the
 ever popular "Boola Boola.' The sen- l iors formed in marching column with
 E. L. Fox E. Easton, J. B. Hart, J. R..
 Swan, A. L. Ferguson as class mar
 shals. Then came the juniors under
 the leadership of F. w. Wilhemi, G. B.
 Chadwick, G. A. Goss, c. J. Hamlin, s. ] O. Wander Poel. and tbe sophomores | followed with w. B. Soper, B. Wnslow, | H. G. Metcalf, w. c. Hall H. Drum
 mond as marshals. The attraction of the evening was the freshman class and over 800 of 1905 men, under the leadership of w. M. Stfllman, J. R. Bloonler, J. J. Hogan, R. r. Tilney, H, S. Knopf ap-
 peared to uphold the name and inci- dentally the first year honors of the class. The procession marched from Durfee hall to Vanderbilt court. the march being a typical Lombda Chi af-
 fair, resembling a wild, zig-zag like dance.
 The marshal of the procession,
 Charles Gould, captain of the football team last fall, announced from ros- tum that the Pass of Thermoyplae" would no. be formed. but that the ex- ercises would consist of a tug-of- war between the freshmen and the sopho- mores, to be followed by general Yale celebration of the vocal variety. The tug -of-War occurred in front of Dwight hall. An inch and one-eighth rope was used and just as the fresh- men were beginning to move the sopho- mores the rope snapped like so much twine. Three hundred '05 men and nearly 200 '04 men were piled in heaps. The greater part of the rope was found in the possession of the '05 men, and the freshmen were declared the win ners, The sophomores made a rush for their fence when cries for the fresmen to take the fence were card. The fresh men marched in body to a position just opposite the sophomore fence The two classes stood facing one another for five minutes and then the freshmen gave a vociferous Yale yell with "19O4" three times at the end. The '04 men returned the compliment and the entire student body then assembled in a mann moth circle, the glee club and the band occupying the center. Songs were sung, college yells were given with all the vim and force characteristic of a Yale gath ering and, in conclusion, Charlie Gould, Raymond Guernsey, Newell Harsrave, Phil Kunzig, and George Chadwick were accorded prolonged applause,
 The Yale "benediction' came in the Yale frog yell, repsated and for third time given without cessation, ending with nine times Yale"
