be AN unusual number of visitors
from a distance an attendance on the
A. and NJ. College commencement
exercises. Them hall and all the

ed To the utmost. For the most part
these visitors will be the relatives OF
the cadets, especially Of the gradu-
ating class; the alumni aud guests
especially invited by the board OF
directors and the faculty.
Under these circumstances IL will
be necessary TO restrict admission 10
the mess hall exclusively 10 these
guests from distance, and there
fore TO admit only those who are
provided with meal tickets by the
proper committees.
Trains will run from Bryan on
both the railroads every hour, and

rangement. II is suggested that

not sufficient TO enable them 10 pro-
vide for larger gathering, aud hope
that In the near future better ar
ranaemeats tn~y hs made.

Behind him and somewhat gaining

unwieldy. By dint of hard kicking and
tight holding the rider quickened his pace

Forty Yeers Ago.

Gen. T. s. Grant was tricked by the
rebel Gen. Bragg, by means of a de-
serter's false tale, into prematurely pre-
pairing for the advance on Missionary
Ridge, at Chattanooga.
Orchard Knob, in Missionary Ridge,
Tenn, was successfully stormed by
Union troops under Gems I. j, Wood,
Sheridan and Palmer, as first step
toward driving the rebel Gen. Bragg
from the outskirts of Chattanooga.
Railroad tracks were torn up in Scott
County, ILL.,, by rebel sympathizers, who
declared no more deserters from the
Union army should be arrested there.
The rebel Gen. John Morgan and his
aid, Capt. Hines, escaped from the pen
itentiary at Columbus, Ohio, where they
had been confined since their raid and
capture in that State.
President Lincoln delivered his famous
speech at the conservation of the Gettys-
burg Pa.) national cemetery, Edward
Everett making what was reported at
the time as the principal grafton
The battle of Lookout Mountain,
Tenn, was fought, Union troops under
Hooker driving the rebels under Gen.
Walthall from their intrenchments on
the sides and summit in order to distract
Bragg's attention from Sherman, whose
troops were crossing the Tennessee river
above Chattanooga.
Gen. Longstreet began the lombard
ment OF Knoxville, Tenn, where Gen.
Burnside's Union army was imprisoned,
Gen. w. T. Sanders being killed and his
soldiers driven from their outer intrench-
ments.

lananese Quarantine.

The alert enterprise of Japan has
long been the admiration Of the world.
In its quarantine regulations 1t equals,
if not surpasses, Western countries.
A writer in the Medical Record says
that the Japanese quarantine rules are
strict, for the Chinese and Korean pes
thence centers are only two or three
days distance by steamer, and Japan
has much commerce with the main
land.
On entering a Japanese harbor a
steamer is met by a boatload of quar-
antine doctors. Their launch is
equipped with microscopes and appar-
atus for making meteorological exam
nations. Each of the doctors is able
to speak at least one foreign tongue,
so that English, French, German, Rus
sian and Chinese, indeed, people of all
nations. can be examined in their own
language.
All the passengers and the members
of the crew are lined up on the deck,
called by name and checked off on the
list. While this is going OH the ply
sicians pass along the line, feel every
mans pulse, make him put out his
tongue, and if he shows signs of i'll
ness, they produce thermometers and
take his temperature.
Nothing escapes the doctors. 1t is
useless to try the old trick of sending
a man round the deck-house to be
counted twice, for every man not pres
ent must be accounted for and exam
ined wherever he is ON duty while the
count on deck is going on.
Men who have symptoms of illness
are set aside and examined The doc
tors show proficiency in the latest
methods of diagnosis.
So carefully are the quarantine reg
ulations observed that the crew is in
spected even on vessel going from
one japanese port to another.

- Horsewhins Used.

There is a notable law in effect in
most of the large Russian towns con-
corning horses that deserves special
mention. Among the curious things
that arrest the attention on arriving
in Moscow is the entire absence Of
whips among the drivers of cabs. car
riages and all sorts of vehicles. On
inquiry. says a traveller. was inform
ed that there was law prohibiting
their use. / don't believe there is 8
single whip in use in Moscow. The
excellent condition Of the horses at
tests the benefit of this humane law.
Nothing can exceed the beauty of the
sleek and well groomed horses used in
the carriages of Moscow.

A Poets Mother.

Robert Buchanan had one deep en-
thusiasm, his mother. She was al
ways young in her appearance, but he
regarded her, to the end of her life, as
Astounding even in girlish charms. He
could never realize that she was grow
ing old In looking at her. even when
she was close upon so, he saw the
soft blue eyes and golden hair which
he had loved long ago.
II cannot imagine my mother as
old" he said again and again. the day
after she died. Il do not feel that she
is dead, for L cannot imagine the world
without her.
When, a youth of eighteen, he went
up to London, Ito take the world by
storm he was miserably homesick
Lad. He sat in a corner of the railway
carriage, his heart aching his eyes dim
with tears.
Il realized he says, "that l was for
the first time quite friendless and
alone l thought of my dear mother
praying for me at home, and | longed
to turn back and ask her forgiveness
for any pain l had caused her. Even
now. never take a railway journey at
night without recalling the dismal
heartache of that midnight journey to
London"
Almost daily, during this e.atJ
struggle, did he receive a letter from
her, always full of loving instruction
for his guidance His answers were
overhowing with heart and hope. Moth
err and son were constant in this ten
der service. From first to last they
were the best and most intimate Of
friends.

Worlds Fair Dairy Barns.

The four dairy barns at the Worlds
Fair, st. Louis, viii be completed so
that the COWS may be brought to the
exposition grounds before the first of

end of the live stock site and just west

main amphitheater. The barns will be
uniform octagons. 100 feet in diameter
Each will have thirty eight stalls ar
ranged in a semi-circle, with a rear
promenade twelve feet wide to accom-
modate visitors. Eight box stalls s by
u will be provided for the cows at
calving time, and two box stalls viii

floor will have four feed bins. each
holding about 800 bushels of ground
feed. Sleeping quarters for the men in
charge of the cows are also provide
The arrangement of the barns permits
full inspection of the stock by visitors
and of the care of the cows to the best
possible advantage. Chief Coburn and
Secretary Mills express themselves as
well pleased with the plans.

Good Water Gate.

During the past season farmers who
have had streams running through
their farms have been kept very busy
keeping up water gates. Having such
stream through my farm | have been
thinking up a very good plan for wa
ter gates. l have four or five gates
made according to the plan. a sketch of
which / enclose. The plan of gate,
think, is about as simple as | have
seen. Upon one side of the stream an
ordinary post is set, on the opposite
side much longer post is set, on the
top of which is provided a pulley. The
gate can be made to fit the gap in the
stream, having in the tops of the cross
pieces pulleys. A rope or wire extend
ed from the top of the short post
through the pulleys on the gate, and
then extending through the pulley at
the top of the long post, with weight
attached to the end, completes the de-

The forward bunk is put on with one

Tesch, who is merchant and one of the
creditors who failed to get the promised
payment of 10 per cent the other day.
Tesch met Kersten ON the street and de-

threw him to the ground. The attempted

When feeding meat TO hens do not
use the fatty parts. The object in feed
ing meat TO hens is TO supply them
with nitrogen or albumen and not fat,
as the grains contain all the fat and
starch they require and in cheap
form. If the fat is fed it does not as
sist in any way to provide material
for eggs, but rather retards than as
sists laying. The cheap portions of
beef. such as the neck. are better for
fowls than the choicest fat and lean
steaks. Meat is expensive when eggs
are low, but nevertheless gives a profit,
though small In winter. however. 1t
is cheap feeding. considering its value
as an egg producer. One breeder states
that during one winter when eggs Were
scarce and sold for 30 cents a dozen
he bought meat at 20 cents pound,
fed an ounce daily to each hen. and it
paid him well. as he secured plenty of
eggs. while his neighbors were not get
ting any.

by driving some stakes down in the
soft ground, which will hold the gate
to its place except in high water.
When the water gets up the gate will

it there until the water recedes, when
the gate must again be put in place.
