As Prince Henry, of Orleans was wont to say: I'll ny a qu'un pas PInde au Thibet.'

Hereafter athletes at Harvard will be required to pay as they go, or not go. Retrenchment is to be enforced on the one hand by the elimination of {high-salaried professional coaches and rigid economy in the matter of prizes and expensive equipment. Ath- letes have very proper and necessary function in a university course, but they are merely means to an end, and not the end itself, says an ex- change. A sound mind in healthy body should be the end and aim of a university or college training. Bod fly exercise should be engaged in to promote the sound mind, but, pushing athletes to an extreme is indefensible.

A labor leader in Chicago has offer- ed to bind himself to work on a farm for ten years for 40 acres of land, says the Sun of that city. There ought not be much difficulty in getting contract of this kind. However, it would de- pend much on the character of the land and the kind of work the man who makes the offer is willing to put up. 1t would be easy to find 40 acres of land that is not worth good days work, and on the other hand, one good acre in Illinois or Iowa is worth ten years labor of sthe kind some people would furnish. On a basis of good Iowa land such a proposition would be worth about $4O0 per year, which is good wages for farm work. In Mexico it is quite the custom for peons to contract their labor for life in order to get little money to gamble with.

 Music scarcely had a voice before the time of William Killings (born in Boston October ', 1784l. Yet by trade this man was tanner, an eccentric and uncouth character, easily ridicul- ed even in his own day.
 He is said to have chalked down his earliest compositions on sides of leath- CT. He was deformed in person, blind in one eye, untidy in dress, with one leg shorter than the other A tremen- dous snuff taker, he carried tobacco as well around with him in his coat, the pocket of which was purposely made of leather. But his music always had a spice Of patriotism in it Ia quality much prized at the time of the revo- l1tion), and so greatly did the colo nists like his work that the strains of his inspiring tunes were heard from every pipe in the New England ranks and led the way to victory on many q hard fought field.
 Billings is said to have been the first to introduce the yioloncello into New England churches, great step toward the eventual introduction of the organ.

To such as have never been under the care of the Radio-C Chemic Physicians. those who have been ex- amined but failed to take treatment are also included, is extended an inyi- tatton to come to the office within the next two weeks for a gratuitous X-Ray examination. and in addition a free trial treatment.

Everything is dearer, and even on a salary of $1,20o American teachers can lay up very little No wonder Amer jeans are not failing over one another in mad dash for the oriental top portunities."
