BLACKBERRYING.

The other day my uncle took me for q
long ride on the Rockville cars up to lady
friends country home. Her garden is very
pretty, but we did not stay there long, be-
cause all three of us took a nice long walk,
first along a road and then through a field,
where we found a lot Of blackberries. which
we picked and put in the basket we had
brought with US. We had also found q few
berries on the side Of the road where some
bushes were. There was another field
which was almost full Of flowers, and the
white flowers looked very pretty, dotted
here and there with yellow daisies. We
gathered q large bunch OF them. After our
basket was nearly full Of berries we went
back to the lady's house the same way we
came. only crossed large grass plot and
crawled under a fence. then we were in
the lady's garden again. Then we rested
little while and after had drink of nice
cold milk. which I enjoyed very much, we
took the car for home. When We reached

Nine Holes.

This game differs from the above in
there being nine holes dug in the ground
near a wall. which holes are made use of
instead of hats or caps. The holes are
numbered and each player is allotted one
of them by chance or otherwise. The ball
Is bowled Into the holes, not thrown
Should one OF the runners be struck by the
player Into whose number the ball has been
bowled he may, II he can obtain the ball
soon enough. strike another with It. and he
In his turn may strike third. In this way
five or six may be struck in succession until
miss is made. when the one so missing
loses point and bowls. Sometimes one
player volunteers to take the ball from an
other and endeavors to hit one near him.
Should he fail. however. he loses a point
and must take the consequences. When a
player has lost one point he Is called q
'fver;" when he has lost two. a '.tenner,'
and when he has lost three. a "lfteener"
A player stands out when he has lost four
points. The losers are punished as In Egg
Hat"

they were not in a position to meet all demands
upon them for converted goods. Mill men are not
satisfied that the effects of the curtailmen though
the delay longer than expected are beginning
show. THIS encourages them to continue the
waiting game that has characterized their attitude
in the last two months.
While there is no margin In any lines of cloth.
and the price obtained for goods does not
compare favorably with the cost OF production
there is little talk of any reduction i'm that
cost Il is generally believed that to reduce the
cost of production would be TO play into the hands
OF the buyers, who would find I'm IL a new reason
FOR their requests for concessions. The few who
favor a lower basis Of cost in first hands do be-
cause outside markets are underselling Fall River
on certain grades OF cloth.
There are different opinions regarding the stock
on hand. The majority say there has been no
great accumulation, but II is felt that extremely
small sales in the last month must have resulted i'm
more of a surplus than many OF the mills care TO
carry.

The fact that this country has usec enormously increased portions of do
 nestle manufactures of the past twelve mouths and also increased its sales ot manufactured articles adequately ex. plains why We have required S66, 00O, GOO more of foreign raw materials the past fiscal year than we did the year preceding. Our exports of manufac
 tures have increased S2, 600, 900 for the past eleven months ending last May, as compared with the corresponding peri od of the previous year. But the chief fact IS that big as our domestic manu- factures are, they have not kept pace with the general expansion of the coun- try. We probably have couple of millions more people to consume our products than we had year ago for example, an increase in one year as large as that of all King Peters Servia.

Needed Reforms in the Universit,

The result of the meeting of the board of university regents on Mon day and Tuesday Is awaited with more than ordinary interest by the best friends of that institution, who realize that If 1t IS ever to attain the true measure of university, radical re- forms in its management are neces- sary.
 It Is essential that the university be entirely removed from political inhu- ences and that the regents be appointed for their culture and irreproachable citizenship, as we'll as executive ability, without regard to their place of resi-. dence within the territory. Also, that members of the faculty be selected with greater care, that the standard of professional attainments be raised, and fayoritsm and pulls" in the appoint ment of teachers be resoutely elimin- ated The lines defining the authority and duties, respectively, of the regents, faculty and students must be more clearly drawn, and better discipline established in the institution.
 The University of Arizona has been very great disappointment, if not a complete failure. Although large sums of money, drawn from the pockets of taxpayers, have been expended upon it, and the annual appropriation for maintenance, made by the federal gov. ernment, is S50,OO0, yet our so-called university has not risen to s position much above an academy, and without the reforms here suggested it is not likely to advance.
 We have confidence in Governor Brodie's ho- esty of purpose and abil- ity to straighten out the university tan gle, at the same time realizing that 10 effect these reforms will require some time, and therefore, we will patiently await the outcome.
