4 department of domestic science has
been authorized by an appropriation of
$4,000. rooms have been equipped as
kitchen and laboratory. and the turn
Ing out of domestic experts will begin
with the next commencement in June.
The appropriation for this department
was made by the legislature after the
club women of the state had appeared
and pcrsistently lObbied for the meas
ure. The old South hall. dormitory a
couple OF score of years ago. then chem
icaI laboratory and in recent years bac-
THEOLOGICAL laboratory and headquar-
tiers of the short course school of agri-
culture was renovated and equipped.
A domestic science expert. Miss Caro-
line l.. Hunt. was secured. and the
work is about TO begin. The enrolment
of the first class will be the limit of
the capacity of the department, as the
idea has caught on" at Madison, and
probably it will be exceedingly popular
for the leading society girls to take
course in cookies and pies.
The course Will include scientific and
practical study and preparation of
foods, house sanitation, decoration and
management and domestic physiology.

Charles Warren Fairbanks were nomi-

of the United States by the Republican
National Convention, and the great
work which called together over 1000
delegates from all parts of the coun-
try was brought to successful and
glorious end.
No one could complain of lack OF
enthusiasm the last day of the con-
vention for stirred by eloquent ora
tory the convention spent day III
genuine enthusiasm seldom indulged
in, even at a national convention.
The great Coliseum, on Wabash
avenue, was crowded to overflowlng,
and hundreds were content only to
stand.
The delegates. as well as the crowds
fortunate enough to hold admission
tickets to the convention hail. were
on hand early. for the session was
to be called to ordcr at 10 o'clock.
and for over four hours the vast
throng that hcllcd the Coliseum from
cellar to roof gave itself mp to un-

Steel VS.. Iron IIorsesbors.

Many blacksmiths are using steel
horscshOes instead of those made of
iron, owing to their longer life. 1t has
been noticed. however, that a steel
shoe becomes hot after brisk trot OF
a couple of miles. under conditions
where an iron shoe would be nnaf-
fectcd. This heat, besides showing
that the foot has been Jared, causes
the hoor itself to crack and dry up so
that after a few months ShOeing with
steel the feet become bad. The expla.
nation is that he iron being SO much
softer, does not slip like steel. and
hence there is not SO much jarrins.
