where the father of his country often visited. little hatchet of antiquated pattern has been found.
 This little hatchet was of pattern used about the time Washington was a boy. There was nothing to identify it as the famous cherry-tree hatehet, but it is not at all unlikely that he'who was first in war, first in peace" etc, used it in that cherry-tree episode which ever since has served to point a moral to the young and rising genera tions. At any rate, it is considered a treasure of a relic, and it has been pro- posed that this ancient ilatchet be pre- sented to the Mt. Vernon Association and treasured at Washingtons beauti- full home on the silvery Potomac, along with the many other Washington relics there stored. So let it be. It should be garnered among the relics in question. There are a thousand reasons why it should be placed where it can ever sug- gest and emphasize the importance of that splendid lesson which it will rep resent-a lesson needed to-day among our statesmen and law-givers, and everywhere in the maelstrom of busi- ness and trade and finance.

1M MERIC4N.

The telegraph and telephone compa- nies are not worried much over the prospects as to the commercial uses of wireless telegraphy, and expect to continue business at the old stands awhile longer. In a series of lectures which Professor J. A. Fleming has just delivered before the Society of Arts in London he gives the latest authorita- tive account of wireless telegraphy. As to distance in the use of wireless tel egraphy he says that all that he could assert positively is that communica- tions can be carried between points 5000 miles apart; that three times as much power is needed to do so on a globe, where a bulge 300 miles high is interposed between stations, than if the surface were fiat, and that sunlight so paralyzes the service that messages will go only 700 miles by day when with the same expenditure of energy they can be sent 2,O0O miles at night. As to secresy and non-interference of dispatches much remains to be demon strated before satisfactory work can be counted upon. Meanwhile the Pacific cable laid recently between California and Hawaii attests that the old plan of telegraphing from continent to con- tinent remains in vogue, and on the next glorious Fourth of July, as is now confidently expected, this country will be connected by cable via Hawaii with its Philippine Islands possessions. Two steamships have started with the strands for the section between Hawaii and the islands where our little brown brothers dwell. It was a memorable day indeed. when the first Atlantic cable was successfully operated and there are. many among us yet who recollect what a commotion that won derful event created all over the world and how for our share in the world
 wide rejoicing huge bonfires blazed on
 East Rock, casting their lurid glare

 Eastern part of the globe should be the

RELIGIOUS DEGREES AT OXFORD.


 Furthermore, Oxford must frankly sacrifice the last dyke of the Anglican tradition which still closes the B. D. and the D. D. to all but the Anglican. A NonconfQrmist to-day can obtain a first class in the honor school of theol- ogy (theology is a branch of education) he cannot obtain the B. D. and the D. D.; in other words, theology as a de- partment of knowledge and research is still corrected in religious test The B. D. must be made like the B. c. L.. the D. D. as the D. c. L., degrees open without reserve to every worker who can satisfy the requirements of knowl- edge; and then, and not till then, will Oxford be able to say that ill theology as in law, in medicine, history or math- ematics she knows of no sect, no faith no schools-she recognizes and knows only the servants of knowledge and the seekers after truth. And the universi- ty will then have an incontroVertible answer to the red caps that would as- sault her educational system. You must prove, she will say, that your subject is not merely educationally good in itself, but educationally better than what already is prescribed. To those who urge she is neglecting a branch of knowledge, she will reply: Prove to me that your subject is fit branch of knowledge for educated stu dents and serious research, and I will gladly provide you with a post-gradu- ate school in it." and this. position will be based on a clear perception of her dual functions as a university woods Magazine.

SHALL IT GO.

The New York Tribune lifts up its voice regarding the pending South Mid dle question at Yale and is led to do so from the interest shown by the Yale Alumni Weekly on the subject and the natural inference thus arising that the question is much agitated on Yale cam pus and among Yale's graduates. The Tribune quotes from President Hadleys witty speech delivered at the recent Yale dinner in Milwaukee and inclines to the belief that from the tenor of President Hadley's remarks regarding old South Middle he does not favor the preservation of the building either on it's present site or anywhere else. In the course of his talk President Hadley said: When South Middle falls to pieces, either let it fall or rebuild it as a monument. No, if we wish to keep South Middle, we must build a South Middle which will be permanent and be a monument to the future of the histor- ic work that was done: a permanent monument, not an old building, unfit to live in as a dormitory, equally unfit for ing, in danger of those fires which have cnly been kept out of it because, while t1,t1a +od entered it regularly at 1. 3. 3, and 5 o'clock in the morning with persisten- cy which no paid night watchman would
 ever acquire
 The Tribune's view of the question is
 that the building is aged, decrepit and
 uncomely and unworthy of preservation
 except for it's associations, and that the
 associations would be half lost and
 wholly confused if the structure should
 be taken down and set up on different
 site. In it's present position and envir-
 onment the old structure mars the looks of adjacent buildings and is an obstruc- tion. So in view of these facts the
 Tribune says it would vote if it had the
 chance to get rid of the antiquated structure as soon as possible.
 The discussion should go on until the questjonsis. settled right. The Alumni Weekly's interest in the question is timely. Now is the time for the "old
 grads to wake up on this subject, and free their minds. New Haven as city had most memorable question of a similar kind not many years ago. That was the old State House question: whether that grand old pile,' as some termed it, that reminder of the Parthe. l non,' should stand or be torn down. Af. tier discussions that fairly shook the city | in their vehemence and multitudinous ] character, and ought to have made the solid old State House itself tremble, the ! edict of destruction went forth anf
 now the green grass grows all around l serenely on it's site and the dismal olf pile is regretted by nobody save in, | birds perhaps that used it's recesses fo, l dormitories.

SNUFFBOX-MA!KIN

In the early years of the last century, it is interesting to recall, the manufac- ture of snuffboXes was prosperous in- dustry in several districts in the north ern kingdom. Laurencekirk was famed for it's beautifully wrought boxes, the hinges of which are so delicate that they are almost invisible. The secret of their manufacture was for years un- known outside Kincardineshire; but by 1926 the craft of snuffbox making had progressed to such an extent in Ayr shire that eight manufacturers in Cum mock at that time employed over one

When from the South the breezes come To put old Winter out of plumb, When gentle spring is close at hand And pleasant sunshine fills the land
 Then lovely woman goes about With the energy to beat the band
 To put the dirt to rout. Her hair is in an apron tied, Her dress pinned up on either side; She dOns faded underskirt And valiantly pursues the dirt With dust rag, broom and mop: She hasn't even time to fiirt;
 For gossip she won't stop. The humble man about the place Has pressing business or case That calls him very far away; He won't get back till late next day. He knows that If he'll only wait There's trash to burn and rugs to lay, And so he pulls his freight. o, when the Spring it's lease has signed, A microbe rules all womankind, And she must clean her house or die; No use to ask the reason why Or of the matter further talk, So when man sees it in her eye He takes a walk.

hundred hands. The center of the manufacture then shifted to Mauch- line, where in the middle of the last century, over two hundred persons were engaged in the industry. Snuff box making was also carried on at Auchinleck, which at one time was more widely known for the snuffboxes it produced than for its associations with Dr. Johnson's biographer. When the industry was at its height in Ayr shire, as high figure as fifty shillings was willingly paid for an ordinary sized snuffbox. Forty years ago the industry began to decline. and long since became extinct.-St. James Ga Zette.

CRASHES INTO
NORTHWESTERN
Green Bay Freight Plays Havoc
With Train Bound For
Marshfield.
CAR AND ENGINE
THROWN OFF THE TRACK
Accident Takes Place Near Ober.
beck Factory Saturday
Afternoon.

The Green Bay & Winona freight
train, coming up from Winona Friday
afternoon. at $50. ran into a North
western freight at the point where
the two tracks cross near the Oberbeck
factory.
Engineer Crane, who had charge of
the Green Bay engine, claims that he
was compelled to stop at the Central
crossing, sixty feet from the North
western crossing, to let the Central
northbound freight pass. AS soon as
the Central had cleared, he started up
his engine. He did not notice that
the Northwestern train was also
making the crossing and the result
was that the two trains collided. The
Green Bay engine was thrown into
the ditch and two cars Of the North
western derailed. About seventy-fve
feet of track were torn up. The cab
and cow-catcher of the Green Bay
engine were demolished.
The Northwestern company sent up
wrecking crew from Fond du Lac
who worked all night clearing up the
wreck. At O'Clock Saturday morn
ing all trains were able to pass the
point where the wreck took place.
Some of the Green Bay employees are
inclined to blame the Northwestern
for the wreck. They claim that their
train had the right OF way and that
the Northwestern should not have
passed at the time it did.
PA. Friess Explains.
P. A. Friess, head of the North
western wrecking crew, and F. D,
Pindell, trainmaster of the North
western at Fond du Lac, when seen
Saturday, said that they could not
see where the right-of-way theory
came in. "It seems to me-" said Mr..
Friess, "that the accident could have
been avoided. The Green Bay had a
heavy freight, and it would appear
from this fact that, having started up
after the Central had cleared the
track, the train was not going at such
speed but that it could have been
stopped before reaching the North
| western train, the distance between
| the cross tracks of the Central and
Northwestern being about sixty feet.
However, this matter will be settled
| when the investigation takes place at
Fond du Lac. 1t is all nonsense, this
report that is being circulated about
the Northwestern company's feeling
the responsibility because they took
care Of the Green Bays part Of the
wreck. AS matter of fact 1 received
a dispatch from the Green Bay officials
asking US to help them"
