A Three-Year College Course.
From Harper's Weekly.

From Harper's Weekly.
The new Harvard catalogue states more
clearly and explicitly than previous cata-
logues have done the conditions under
which student may get his A. B. degree
in three years. Students are required to
take four courses year, and are permitted
to take six, but not more. A student who
completes seventeen courses. whether in
three years or three and a half, has done
all the work required of him. His A. B.
degree will be given him at the end of his
third year IF he shall have attained grade
or B in at least nine courses, or shall
have received honorable mention twice"
If his scholarship is less distinguished he
gets his degree with hfs class at the end of
the fourth year. But as soon as he finishes
his seventeen courses-which cannot be
done in less than three years-he may leave
Cambridge, go to work. travel or study his
profession. His time is his own. This sys-
tenn has been in practical operation at Har-
ward for a number of years. About one
hundred men. or nearly quarter of the
present senior class. are now on leave of
absence, having. finished their work in ac-
cordance with It's provisions.

ERUPTIoNs OF vEsUvIUs.
Bursting of Volcano One of Natures
Awesome Sights.
From the Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript
A volcanic erution, even on compare
lively small scale, is fearful and wonder
full sight: once witnessed. one realizes how
impossible it would be to escape, were one
anywhere in the immediate neighborhood.
In July, 1895, the writer chanced to be look
ing across the Bay of Naples at Vesuvius,
when the new crater, 100 yards in dame
ter, was opened in less time than it takes
to write line of this account.
The mountain had been strangely quies-
cent for some time before. The long plume
of smoke no more trailed its solemn pen
non away off toward the horizon line or
lowered it's majestic palm above the black
ened summit. The morning was pellucid
and bamy. one of those perfect summer
days which one sees only in the blue
Neapolitan bay, those days which combine
all the charms of all seasons and all cli-
mates; the luStrouS wavelets Tapped along
the shining shingle and seemed to WOO us
to float at will above the sunken splendors
of imperial Rome, buried for centuries be-
meath the translucent waters.
Suddenly without a moments warning,
this immense mass Of solid rock split into
millions of fragments and, mixed with fire,
smoke, molten lava and scalding steam,
from the quiet flank of the smiling vine-
clad mountain and fell with a crash which
shook the solid stone houses around us
twenty miles away.
The mountain top was shrouded in a
dense cloud; the smoke cleared away in the
that most lovely gulf, and as 1t cleared we
saw that the main crater had again be-
come active and was vomiting forth masses
Of smoke and flame.

hour. Then the tour of the embassies was
begun. The carriages passed through the
lines of cavairymen, drawn up in Jackson
place, to Connecticut avenue and then
moved at a trot to the British embassy
Each of the vehicles stopped for q. minute
under the porte cocffere while the footman
ran up the steps with cards from all the
Frenchmen inside. The party then pro-
ceeded to the German embassy, the Russian
embassy, the Mexican embassy and the
Italian embassy in turn, at each of which
the same procedure was observed.
By o'clock. approximately. all the MEM
bers of the mission had returned to the Ar
lington, where luncheon served.
The American officials later called at the
Arlington and left their cards for the
French visitors.
Navy Yard and Mt. Vernon.
Their carriages were ordered for 1:30,
when they were to proceed to the navy
yard, but the start for the yard was not
made until little later. A short tour of
the gunshops was made. The party then
went aboard the L. S. S. Sylph, Capt. Will
lam H. Buck commanding, and set off for

POETIC COMPLIMENT.
Whittier Likens Maiden's Gown to
Petals of a Rose.
From Youths Companion.

From Youths Companion.
To move a poet to compliment beautiful
woman does not seem to be difficult task.
To move a Quaker to compliment the pretty
gown of a pretty girl is a different matter.
1t was rarely indeed that compliments Of
either kind were extracted from the poet
of the Friends, Whittier, who, with all his
keen appreciation of beauty. retained a
Quakerly preference for simplicity in attire
and Quakerly shyness and reluctance to
indulge in personal praise. Nevertheless, it
was recently related of him that once
seated on the piazza of summer cottage
he was a silent listener to a discussion 10y
group of ladies of the costume worn by 4
girl who was crossing the lawn not far
away.
She had but just returned from abroad
ana wore one of her new Paris gowns-one
of those apparently simple ''creations"
which to the knowing feminine eye are
complex indeed. Many were the comments
and admiring remarks upon its elegance
and style as she floated past among the
greenery in gauzy cloud of rose and faint
blue. At length, to close the conversation
one OF the ladies laughingly appealed to Mr.
whittier for his opinion, adding however
that she supposed he would disdafn to have
one on such a matter. No" said the noet
looking beneyolenty after the radiant
young beauty; and with poetical references
to the fiower-like face he added Truly +
think that young lady's petals are ex1uf
sltely fringed and tinted"

GENERAL BRUGERE.
Long Been Known for His Regard for
the United States.

General Brugere, the head of the mission
sent to this country by France, long has
been known in his own country for his
especial regard for the United States. 1t
is recalled that General Brugere showed
this feeling in a remarkable manner last
fall at the time of the French army maneu-
vers near Rethel. The French government
had been entertaining in camp the military
attaches of the foreign emba ssies in Paris,
and at the close of the maneuvers, Septem-
Der IA, General Brugere gave a banquet in
honor of all the attaches.
Just as the guests We're about to seat
themselves al the dinner table news reached
Gen. Brugere that President Mckinley had
been shot. AT once Gen. Brugere gave or
ders that the banquet proceed without music
and he explained that there could be no
toasts, as usual, to the heads of foreign
governments, because the head of the great
American republic lay stricken by the hand
of an assassin.
AS an evidence of the friendliness Of Gen.
Brugere to the United States it is recalled
that the executive committee Of the Ameri-
can colony in Paris in 1892 adopted a resolu-
tion presenting to the French commander
the thanks of Americans in Farnce for the
kindness, official and personal, which he
had uniformly extended to them.

INITIALS ON SHIRT WAISTS.
Evanston Qll.) Co-Eds Have a Nov
city in Dress.
ON the Chicago Inter Ocean

FROM the Chicago Inter Ocean.
If you want to be up to date in Evanston
you must have your initials embroidered on
your shirt waist Northwestern University
co-eds have set the fashion, and it is de-
creed that it shall be the reigning fad of
the season. The new shirt waist girl has
not yet made her appearance but a dozen
enthusiastic co-eds have already fiocked to
the dressmaker, and before the week is over
it is expected that the fad will have bios
somed out.
The idea of wearing the letters of the
name across the front of a shirt waist as a
man wears the initials of his college upon
his sweater originated with the members of
one OF the numerous sororities at North
western. The girls of this particular soror-
ity wanted something to wear which would
serve as badge of membership in that So
clety. Brains were racked i'm the effort to
hit upon a novel and striking device.
When the shirt waist initial plan was sug-
gested the girls went into ecstases over IT,
Now the initial fad has spread to all of the
co-eds in the university, and Evanston
dressmakers complain of being overrushed
with orders for shirt waists of the new
pattern.

Plea of Vegetarians.

From the Philadelphia Record
Vegetarians hold that meat is poisonous.
and condemn it severely in every possible
way. Water forms 75 per cent of its COM
position, they claim. and what gives II its
flavor is the principle of active poison I'm it,
Venous blood, they say, is admitted TO be
poisonous, and 1t is this blood in meat that
causes it to taste pleasantly. To prove
their claim they state that meat. washed
clean Of its venous blood. has no taste
whatever. and no one will eat IT. Eat
vegetables, fruits and grains" says the
vegetarian, IF you would be healthy. Join
our ranks, for one-third of the worlds in
habltants belong to us aiready-the millions
of Buddhists are with us, their creed for
bidding them TO kill any living thing. Tol-
stoy is a vegetarian, and Thoreau was one
also, while in the past our fold included
Adam, Plato, Voltaire, Benjamin Franklin
and a thousand other immortal names"

The Passing Of the West.
From the Tacoma Ledger.


To those whose days have been spent in
the enjoyment Of the freedom OF the old
west, even as 1t appeared in the eighties.
there comes regret in the contemplation
Of the new order of things. For assuredly
the old has given way to the new. The old
west as the early settlers knew it for twen-
ty years and more has gone as went the
Indian and the buffalo, and with it has
gone that larger freedom which was its
characteristic and It's charm. There is no
longer any west. The methods and condi-
tions of the west are the methods and con-
ditions of the east. plus western energy.
Indeed, to be entirely just, 1t may be ques-
toned whether western push is not an i'm
portation, for certainly it did not flourish
in the ante-ra!lroad days.
