UNIVERSITY OF MAINE.
The School of Agricultural New
and Useful Feature.

Inc school of Agricultural New
and Useful Feature.
With the exception OF the short winter
courses in dairying, horticulture and
poultry husbandry, the instruction of
agriculture at the University OF Maine
has been in the past of regular college
grade and open only to students with
sufficient preparatory training to "enter
college''.
AT the April meeting, the trustees ap-
pointed committee to prepare plans for
school OF practical agriculture as de-
partmeDt OF the college OF agriculture Of
the university. At the June meeting,
the establishment of the school was
authorized, and the necessary funds for
Its development and maintenance were
appropriated.
10 addition to the six professors who
are employed In agricultural instruction
and investigation at the college, the
president was empowered to engage an
additional professor in agriculture to de-
vote all his time to the work OF instruc-
ton In agriculture, particularly along
the line OF crops and crop production.
The school will open for its first term
next October, and an early announce
ment will be made of the courses. The
work of the school will be along lines OF
practical agriculture, and with the excep-
tion OF English, the studies will all. be
agricultural. In general, one fourth .of
the students time will be taken up with
animal husbandry; one-fourthi: with
crops and crop production; nearly an
other fourth with the problems of the or
chard and garden; while English lam
gusge, carpentry, forge work and agri-
cultural chemistry will take up the re-
mainder.
Boys and girls fifteen years old or older
VINO are prepared to enter an advanced
grammar or high school will be admitted.
There will be no charge for tuition, and
every endeavor will be made to keep the
living expenses as low as possible. The
course VIII cover five terms. The fall
term will begin about October Is, and
continue thirteen weeks; tbs spring term
wpl begin about February 1, and continue
thirteen weeks, and the summer term will
negin about July l and continue ten
weeks
Each term OF the first year will be
complete in itself, SO that persons who
cannot take the entire course OF sixty-two
weeks can come for one term or more.
The aim of the, school will be to fit
young men and young women for the
practical, everyday life of the farm.

Receipts from New Organizations.

Receipts from New Organizations.
Figures given out at the office OF the
State treasurer last Wednesday show that
for the first six months Of this year the
sum Of s52 $50 was received from the Or
ganization OF new corporations. and g, 100
received in fees from corporations al
ready organized in increasing the amount
of their capitalization.
Maine began the making OF corpo-
rations for profit in the year 1887, and
since that time the State has cleaned up
over half a million of dollars in this line,
for the making of new and the enIarging
of old companies.
Figures for the first six months of 1903
show that the year will eclipse all others
In the amount paid at the treasurer's
office. The State has derived q further
revenue from corporations by reason of
the franchise tax which was placed by
the legislature of 1901, through the efforts
OF the grange. The receipts under this
law have been as follows: For 1901, S39,-
go; for 1902, $685. $50, making total of
s7S, 140 for the two years. 1t Is certain
that the franchise tax receipts for 1903
will be larger than 1902.

number of the city's best horsewomen
ride astride. Neither can the Capital
be said to have escaped the discussion
OF the question. The debate has reached
even as far as the suburbs.
Last week. al, meeting OF the Home

were present. and all participated IN the
debate. A vote of those present showed
twenty three out of twenty-eight al ad-
vocates of riding astride. and wearing
the divided skirt.
Miss Ruth Mason. the second daughter
of Senator Mason, was often seen dur
Ing her residence in the city riding
astride. She learned TO ride in the
West, and can take a fence with the
ease and grace of the accomplished
horsewoman. Miss Mason is OF some

Miss Tierny. of Ravenswood Mansion,

quickly absorbed by the cold OF the rail.
And then there was another surprise.
It was found that less electricity was
necessary to keep tho magnets charged
after the train was in motion. Mag
nets have never been used to slide in
this way before, and there was nothing
in the textbooks about them DR.. Al
bertson made the valuable discovery.
which may some day be incorporated In
the textbooks. that a magnet moving
with one pole back Of the other slides
with less charging force because the
first pole induces it's pole and, sliding
bv leaves 1t for the second pole COM
ing up. Therefore as the magnet slides
along 1t has to induce but one pole.
while If it remain stationary it needs
enough charge to induce two poles at
one time.
When the car is in motion at a high
rate OF speed the only brake necessary
TO bring IL TO a full stop at a station
will be the application by the engineer
in the cab OF more power in the magnets,
which will cause them to grip the under
part OF the rail and slide with a great
deal of resistance. There will be an in.
dicator for each car attached to his train
and each indicator will show how much
the car and its load weighs Before he
starts his engine he viii turn on enough
magnetic power to make the finger on
the dial go down to ten pounds. Then,
having made his train OF. say, three cars
weigh thirty pounds. he viii be ready 10

With Dr. Albertson II is another case
of the barefoot boy. He was born IN
Sieswick. Denmark. and had lots OF ups
and downs while very young. He
worked at various vocations in order to
make money with which to buy books
and receive instruction. After his boy
hood he went to Copenhagen, where he
spent the better part OF his life working
in machine shops as calculator and
draughtsman. frequenting the technical
high school by day and night and finally
the Polytechnic Institute of Copen-
hagen. where he gathered some knowl-
edge from Denmark's great professors,
Julius Peterson in mathematics, Holton

:: THE SPINSTER IN GERMANY :.

T HE education Of a German girl be-
L gins at six: it is compulsory, and
the rule for attendance is strictly en-
forced. a mother cannot keep a deli
cate or ailing child at home without a
doctors certificate. Work is carried on
at the fullest stretch, and the strain on
mind and body is such that many a Ger
man girl leaves school with her nerves
shaken and her health injured for life.
Little time is allowed for gymnastics
or outdoor games, though some change
in this respect is now being made, and
at sixteen the girl leaves school, after
passing numberless examinations, her
studies having included languages, his
tory, science, mathematics, dancing. and
singing, a thorough course in cookery.
and needlework. 1t is of these last two
accomplishments that she makes the
most use In after life. The rest lead 10
nothing, and IN the majority OF cases
the girl might just as well have been
spared the strain OF acquiring so much
supertluous education.
Marriage is considered as much a sine
qua non with a German as with q
