HARDY BARNARD GIRLS.
Prose and Poetry Hurled at Them for
 Being Late at Lectures.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
 Some of the young women at Barnard college have evidently been causing an- noyance to their professors and their more studious classmates by arriving late at recitations and leaving early. The Barnard Bulletin, the college newspaper, goes at them for this behavior, hurling both poetry and prose at the offenders. Here Is the poetry:
 Some girls stand in the halls and talk And talk till they are late; And they talk little more, and butt Into lectures minutes late.
 And then they make a big lot of noise Rustling to a seat.
 What care they for the others joys If they can step on ones feet? What care they for the humble prof. Who courtesy entreats?
 They openly mock and scoff
 While rustling to their seats. And when the first bell sounds to go, Whether the prof. Is through, They get up with a hullaballoo, And rustic out, you know
 Then here's the editorial:
 The dilatoriness with which girls take lnelr places Tn the classroom at the be- ginning of the hour has been very mo- ticeable this year. Instead of getting ready for work, they finger outside in the hall until the last bell rings and then wander into their seats
 If the instructor has already begun his roll call or his lecture, the confusion that ensues as the late ones come strag- gling In Is very disconcertlng both to him and to those who are trying to lis- ten to him. Indeed, one professor recently had cause to remind his class that his lecture commences at half past and not at twenty-five minutes of 2.
 With the ringing of the first bell the same confusion arises. The girls shut up their notebooks, put away their fountain pens and get their belongings together. The disturbance must be disagreeabe to the professor and. it is very annoying to those who are trying to hear him, to say nothing of its not being over courteous.
 This behavior shows lack of consider alton for others, of which the girls need only to be reminded to avoid 1t in the future

COMMENTS ON MEN AND
 MATTERS OF THE WORLD

of knowing that if his father before him had not set such bad example he would have done better. However. 1t would seem that a man who contemplates de- livering an important address in such a place as the English house of commons would at least scrape up some kind of acquaintance with his manuscript
 For those people who affect an interest in astronomy the information is offered that they can now strain their eyes to great profit by looking for sun spots. After half an hours painful scrutiny the chances are that they will find several and the fact that they have gazed upon these strange phenomena of the solar furnace without in the least knowing what they are or what they portend will give them a vast amount of satisfaction
 The length to which some people will go when hunting for trouble Is illustrat. ed by the case of a lineman in Phila- delphia who tapped wire and heard his wife talking over the telephone to an- other man. The lineman was testing a wire thirty feet from the ground with his pocket telephone when he suddenly heard his wife carrying on an animated con- versation with male acquaintance. The injured husband heard the conversation out and then went home where there was trouble immediately. The lineman was arrested for assault and battery His wife was the plaintiff and hereafter she will put little faith in the privacy of telephones The incident also offers an opportunity for Clyde Fitch to make a hit in a new play.
 Columbia university Is feeling very boastful since she can lay claim to an alumnus who wears a pigtail It is prob able that a number of Chinamen will fol- low the example of their countrymen and imbibe western knowledge at Colum- bia but as yet the Japs have out-dis- tanced them so far that they are not in the running.
 Another town has refused a Carnegie library. Perth, in Canada, came to the conclusion that 1t does not want such an institution on any terms and has endeav- ored to make MT. Carnegie feel very much hurt over the matter but the phi lanthropist has the satisfaction of know ing that so long as he has the dollars to establish libraries he will always be able to find towns glad of the chance to accept one from his hands.
 Philanthropists, actors, playwrights and others not so talented continue to discuss the plan to endow a national theatre but from present indications the project is no further than the talking stage That a national theatre would be a grand institution for this country ana would do much to stimulate achievement in the drama no one denies, but there are just a few hitches about getting the theatre established that are hard to overcome. One of the greatest obstacles is the objection of certain people who for mercenary and personal reasons do not wish to see a national theatre started in the United States. F. c.

Pepper Sauce.

During a meeting of the Louisville Presbytery few days ago, Delegate Hawthorne of Princeton told this story of pioneer days, and vouched for it's accura- ey: One of the circuit riders in my part of the state was exertmely fond of pep per sauce, and as he could seldom find any strong enough at places where he stopped, he always carried a bottle with him. He happened 10 be at a hotel one night, though he usually stopped at the home of friend. A man sat across the table from him, and, seeing the sauce, asked if the minister would share 1t with him. The re- quest was granted, and the stranger poured out liberal allowance of the sauce into his soup. At the first swallow he made a wry face and blurted out: Minister, do you preach hell?" "Yes, brother" was the reply. Why do you ask?" Because you are the first preach .er I ever saw who carried samples" was the answer.

Mir, McDavid's Successor.

Mfr. McDavid, the new secretary of state, states that he will not be can didate to succeed himself. This raises the question, Could he if he wouldY
 Section 116 of the constitution of 1901 reads as follows:
 "The governor, lieutenant governor, at torney general, state auditor, secretary of state, state treasurer, superintendent of education, and commissioner of agri- culture and industries, elected after the ratification of this constitution, shall hold their respective offices for the term of four years from the first Monday after the second Tuesday In January next succeeding their election, and will until their successors shall be elected and qualified. After the first election un- der this constitution no one of said offi- cers shall be eligible as his own success or and the governor shall not be eligi- ble to election or appointment to any of flee under this state, or to the senate of the United States, during his term, and within one year after the expiration thereof"
 No other section of the constitution refers to or in any manner touches the subject under discussion. The construction of section 116 alone de- termines the nature of the succession in the offices named If the construc- tion of the section depended wholly upon the known and common usage of the English language MT. McDavid could not, if he would, become his own successor. After May 1 he will be Alabamas secretary of state. She will then have no other secretary of state, and section 116 distinctly says that no secretary of state shall be eligible as his own successor.
 But if the Supreme court should drop into an amending mood, as Su- preme courts often do, it may travel far outside of the common usage and meaning of the English language. When it is really and truly seeking to amend the law, l. goes deeply into the alleged intentions of the framers of the constitution, and like matters, and no one can say what the outcome will be. Until therefore the question has come before the Supreme court no one will know whether or no MT. McDavid could succeed himself. If the determ- ming clause had read, "No one of said officers elected by the qualified cleo tors of the state shall be eligible as his own successor" all doubts would have been cleared away. The meaning of the section as it stands is anybody's guess until the Supreme court stops all guessing by confirming or amending its obvious meaning.

The Conference.

'The Jefferson theatre was filled to it's full capacity, but I wish every man in Birmingham could have been present to have caught the inspiration of the edu- cational conference," said prominent citizen last night after the conference ad- journed
 ''All of the addresses were hopeful and cheering and if any one had been scepti- cal touching the usefulness of the con ference, doubts and questionings were surely removed. Every leader in this great educational movement impressed himself upon the audience and the facts that were related by the speakers bore witness to the influence of the confer- ence.
 Speaking of Birmingham, the officers Of the conference said that the visitors had been more than pleased with their reception. In many respects this was the most highly enjoyed of all the con ferences.'

Local Taxation for Schools.

The school pyramid in this state stands, not on it's base, but on it's apex. It is based on a big state school fund, which is dished out to the counties, to be there distributed in an uncertain and sometimes unlawful manner. It leads to corruption and to lax interest in the schools on the part of parents.
 No school is closely watched by

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the New York Press.
 A girl is never too thin to dress as If she weren't.
 A woman can stand reflections on her honor, and even her beauty, much better than on her clothes.
 A woman gets very disappointed in a husband she doesn't think some other woman is trying to steal away from her
 When mother is proud of the cake her daughter can make, the daughter Is not likely to be proud of the bread her mother makes.
 It's funny. but tho same dress that a woman tells her husband cost $50 less than it did she tells everybody else cost saD more than it did.

ROMANCE IN THE LIVES
 OF THE CEMENT MAKERS

as an article of commerce Is much greater than is commonly understood. In 1900 this country manufactured S,50OO0O barrels. France produces annually about 100000 barrels, and England s0OO,0OO, while Germany leads with a yearly out put of some 2O,000,O0O barrels. The indus try Is constantly increasing, both it the amount of production and In its value, as new uses are developed.
 "A very large plant was established not long ago in New South Wales. under the direction of a German expert, and has been doing an extensive business. In these countries chalk is generally used. instead of the limestone that is worked in the Pennsylvania mills; and the process of manufacture varies in certain minor details.'
