She laughed at what she called his
folly; he had imagined himself to be in
love with her-which was exactly the
case-and she had sent him about his
business with a pang, but no sign Of
surrender. And, six months later, her
schemes a succeeded beyond her
widest expectations-the broken-down
earl had proposed and was accepted.
He came in now, a fat, bloated look
ing man with the signs of dissipation
written largely over his heavy face. He
might have been taken for anything

Ready, Lena?" he said in a thick,

"Who is she?' Miss Vernon hardly

mencement festivities, the academic cap

d~ergraduates and newly fedged bachelors
proud of their right to the distinctive
garb, visiting alumni glad thus to link
arms once again with a vanished past,
the august faculty body. and those of the
official guests whose scholastic attain
ments entitle them to the privilege, all
don the flowing robe and top it with the
quaint and tasseled mortarboard.
Some persons may call this peculiar at
tire a piece Of ~antiquated funlnery, but
ever they admit that the somber robes,
relieved here and there by the brilliance
Of the hood Innings and of the many hued
velvet faclngs, lend beauty as well as dig
nifty to the assemblage gathered upon the
platform.
The casual glance notes little IL any
difference in the appearance Of the various
gowns, but the initiated eye can tell In
stantly not only the exact degree OF
scholarship attained by the wearer, but
also the faculty of learning that awarded
1t and the university where it was OBJ
tanned. There are other distinguishing
points, but the main ores may be sum-
moned up as follows:

board Of black wooden material, usually
serge. When he wins his bachelors de-
gree he may attach a hood three feet long
to his gown, made Of the same wooden
stuff and lined witE the colors OF his alma
water. When the Bachelor attains the
masters degree or the doctorate he Is
entitled to wear a silken gown and hood,
the latter four feet long. The electorate
entities him also to wear a panel, out
lined with his college colors, beneath his
hood, and to exchange the black tassel on
his mortarboard for one Of gold.
Even the sleeve changes with the value
Of the degree. The open pointed sleavs
of the bachelors gown is closed for the
master, and the doctor wears a roundo one
trimmed with bars of velvet. The doc
tors degre being the highest in the gift
of a university, his attire is the most dis
tinguished in appearance. He may, II he
choose, adorn his gov with velvet fac
ings, black, or of the color that indicates
the special faculty which recommended
him for the degree. White stands for
the school of arts and letters: blue for
philosophy; scarlet for theology; purple
for law; yellow for science, and green for
medicine.
Understanding these distinctions the Wis
itor 1T a college function, watching the
long procession of notables file to their
places upon the platform, can recognize
at a glance the degree attained by each,
the faculty that recommended him fog 1t,
and the university that conferred 1t. Oc-

The experiments of. our agricul.

to the farmers of America. They
show the possibilities and limitations
of corn, supplemented with other
feeds, which can be, to large ex-
tent, produced on every farm, in the
way of roots, pumpkins. etc. In the
corn belt that cereal will always be

less risk than where the animal 10

ANGoRA IS USEFUL.
For Clearing Land of brush This Goat
Has No Equal inSthe Animal
Kingdom.

The Angora goat is as different
from the hairy goat as the sheep is
different from the Angora. It has it's
fields of usefulness that cannot be
denied by the most ardent sheep
breeder. The principal use to which
they can be put is that of brush ex-
terminators; next. mohair producers:
third, as meat producers. In clearing
land of brush this animal seems to
have no equal. The sheep will take
to brush killing If forced to do 1t;
the goat takes to it because it is its
nature. He is a browser first and q
grazer when there is no browse. In
killing out the brush grass will come
to cover the earth, and such lands
can be followed by sheep. 1t is really
an inexpensive way to clear land of
brush. and they have been in demand
for that purpose, says The Home
stead.
The fleece is called mohair and is
used for making pushes of all kinds.
It is also extensively used in making
rugs, astrakhan cloaks, ladies' coats,
dress goods, coat Innings, etc, and
the demand is greater than the sup
ply, which has tendency to keep
the price well up in the scale of
profit. The dressed skins with the
hair ON are used for rugs and robes,
and many of them are used in the
manufacture of capes for children,
collars, muffs and cloak trimmings.
When made up in this manner it is
seldom sold under it's true name. As
to its meat, we cannot speak from
experience. We have been informed
that it is superior to mutton, but
we are inclined to believe this to be
fishy. The kids make good eating;
better than the meat of goats.

From Caledonia, New Zealand, there
recently arrived in Philadelphia the
Danish steamship Kronborg. Previous
to loading ut Caledonia she had been
to Australia, says the Philadelphia Tel
egraph, and at the Australian port the
sailors, to man, secured a pet. There
were two wildcats, q brace of vicious
tiger cubs, . kangaroo of NO very
amiable disposition, small colony of
monkeys, and several black parrots
with white topknots. y
Things were, comparatively PEACEFUL
until the Kronborg dropped anchor;
then trouble broke loose in the me-
nagerie. The wildcats developed. all
their native wildness and the tigers q
thirst for human blood. Even the
kangaroo showed e..desire to be res
venged upon his captors, and all sue
ceeded in making the ship an unhealthy
place.
When wildcat got loose the unload-
ing of the vessel came to aastop. The
stevedores fed from the vessel, and
for a. timesthe wildcatshad undisputed
sway. Finally he. was overcome and
taken back to his cage. Then there
was trouble with the tiger cubs. They
were full of fight, and did not hesitate
to give battle to all who approached.
The representative f local firm Of
ship-chandlers was rash enough togo
too near the, cubs quarters. Later he
was searching for new suit ofclothes,

Teach the rigs to Eat.

Be sure and give the pigs plenty
of exercise, and as soon as possible
the little pigs should be taught to
eat. By providing a little pen where
in they can get cracked corn and
sweet milk, they will soon be able
to get away with lots Of feed and
will transform it into bone and flesh,
thereby decreasing the drain on the
sow. If the sow does not lose in
flesh they should be allowed to
suckle for eight weeks; but this
must be governed by conditions.
