END OF COMMENCEMENT.
Two Bontrides Thursday Brought En-

1t was "A happy thought when 1t occurred
to those having in charge the centennial
celebration of the University of Vermont
to give the guests of the university and
visiting alumni boatridc on Lake Cham

ride was the leading social feature of the
week; to all IL was n most delightful trip.
The steamer Chatcaugay left tho King

noon, having on board Az people. With
bright sky and hardly IL ripple on tho
water the afternoon was all that could be
desired for Il ride on the lake. Tho steam

to Dr. w. s. Wcbbs handsome place;

HEROIC REMEDIES.

Whipping Was Prescribed at One
Time For Insanity and Fits.
III health is a bad thing at any time,
but 80 years ago it was made more
terrible by the remedies in use. Blood
letting, of course, was a simple affair.
A writer in Macmillans Magazine says
that everybody was bled twice year
in the spring and autumn. The bar
bers were the surgeons and, like wise
men, adapted their prices to their pa
tientS.
A gentleman who so INDUCED him.
self as to go to bed to be bled was
charged half a crown and his fine lady
half a sovereign Certain days were
unlucky for blOodletting, and nothing
would induce the BARRIERS to operate
on these occasions. Serious diseases
seem to have been beyond the medical
skill of the day. Villages and towns
simply drove out the infected from
their midst
Among remedies herbs Of course
played a great part. For salves," runs
an old notebook which had a great
vogue, "the country parsons wife
seeks not the city and prefers her gar
den and fields before all outlandish
gums" Sage was held a very great
medicine. It was even asked in Latin.
why should any one die who has sage
in bis garden?" If any one had dis
ease of the mouth, the Eighth Psalm
should be read for three days, seven
times on each day. AS a remedy it
was sovereign"
For insanity or fits whipping was
prescribed Little wonder that NOR
tally was great. In old days in Wes-
sex, England, persons with infectious
diseases were confined in the lookup.
and whipping was deemed too good for
them. Should the sick be loud in Ia
ment, the Waterman kept them quiet by
this popular discipline, and one town
has upon it's records, "Paid T. Haw-
kins for whipping two people that had
the smallpox eightpence."
Fortunately the spirit of this age is
different from that.

A Home Thrust.

There is good story told about the
late Henry Bergh. While walking
about the streets of New York city one
morning he saw teamster whipping a
balky horse.
''StOp that, you BRUTE" he exclaimed,
cor I'll have you locked up inside of
five minutes! Why don't you try kind
ness on the animal? Don't you sup
pose a horse can be reached by kind
word the same as human being?"
81 b'lieve ye're right, sor," replied
the teamster, Il quick witted freshman,
who, with all his faults of temper, was
not bad man at heart, ''an' if a harse
has feelin's, sor, don't We spose his
dhriver has too? Thry koind wor-rd
on the dhriver, if We Phase"
The stern face of Mr.. Bergh relaxed
into a smile. and in the better under
standing that followed the horse for
got that it was baking and started off
in trOt.

"THE SLEEPLESS ARCH"
Old HindOO Principle the Basis of
All Modern Bridges.

Old HindoO Principle the Basis of
All Modern Bridges.
Although the building of great arches
of masonry dates beyond the ancient
Roman civilization, the principle that
gives strength to the massive stone
bridges of today is the same that built
the bridges of the Roman empire.
The history of bridge building is, to
a large degree, the history Of the arch,
whose efficiency lies in the truth of the
old Hindoo saying that "the arch never
sleeps because each separate section
of which it consists, beginning at the
keystone, or central section, is con-
stantly pushing against it's immediate
neighbors until the pressure finally
reaches the firm foundation upon which
the structure is erected.
To secure a perfectly trustworthy
foundation, therefore, the bridge build
er has often to penetrate far below the
surface of the earth, and not infre-
Quently the part of his structure thus
covered up and concealed is greater
than that visible above ground.
1t was their inability to solve the
problem of a trustworthy foundation
that led the ancient Hindoos to dis
trust the arch, arguing that the sleep
less activity that held it together was
equally active in tearing it to pieces.
Not only is the modern bridge builder
skilled in setting his structure on a
firm base, but thoroughly acquainted
with the time honored materials for
his work, to say nothing Of new ma
terials, and an important part of his
student training in such modern schools
as the Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology is devoted to methods of test
ing materials during construction that
would have surprised and delighted
even the most accomplished of the an
Gent Roman engineers.

SOLAR HEAT WAVES.

THE Sum and the Hot stove Pour Out
the Same Kind of Energy.
SO far us l know no reasons at all for
doubling the high temperature of the
central body of the solar system have
ever been found. There are in general
three distinct ways in which heat can
be transferred from one body to an
INSTRUMENTATION, convection and radi-
alton The first two are dependent
upon the presence of matter. The lat
ter will take place across a perfect
vacuum.
We may receive heat from a stove by
ali three methods. If we place our
hands upon it we receive heat by con-
duction: if we hold them above it they
are warmed by convection, the heat be-
ing brought TO them by the rising cur
rent of hot air; if now we stand in front
of the stove we still feel its warmth,
the sensation in this case being pro-
duced by the heat waves which it
emitS. These waves are similar to the
electric waves used in wireless telegra-
ply, differing from them only in their
length. They bear the same relation to
them as the ripples on a mill pond bear
to the Atlantic rollers. With the in
struments at our disposal at the pres
ent time we can measure the length of
these waves rs accurately as we can
measure the length of table with a
footrule. and we can prove that they
will pass through a vacuum, a plate of
glass or tank fell of liquid air With
out losing their ability to warm our
hands. We find, however, that if we
pass this radiant heat through certain
subStanceS-water vapOr, for instance
its intensity is diminished owing to
the fact that some of the waves have
been absorbed. 1t is possible to deter
mine the exact length of the waves of
heat which have been removed by alb
sOrptiOn in the vapor, and if we test
the radiation which comes to us from
the sun we find that waves of this
same length are absent, the water va
por in the earth's atmosphere having
refused to transmit them. This fact,
taken alone, is pretty good evidence
that the sun and the hot stove are
pouring out the same kind of energy

Tnc Tragedy OF Little Things That
Are Left UndOne.
The judge and spectators in a Kan
sas City courtroom laughed when a
husband testified that his wife gave
him only mechanical Kisses
Then the lawyers devoted many min
utes to the question, "What is a me-
chanical kiss?" They decided that it
was salutation given only through a
sense of duty, and then they laughed
some more.
They didn't go far enough. They
might have called it a tragedy.

And shadow fell on a romance, and

She assured herself a hundred times
that it was such little thing and that
it was natural for him to forget and
that it was unreasonable for her to eX-
pect the joy Of the honeymoon through

A COMIC TRAGEDY.
The Audience Was Ready, but the
Show Was Tangled Up.

The Audience Was Ready, but the
Show Was Tangled Up.
John Barnard, who afterward be-
came famous as the painter Of great
panorama of Mississippi scenery, set
out in his boyhood, in the early thir-
ties, to travel down the Great Water"
in a fiatboat with a number Of cOmpan-
ions. They built their boat on the Wa
bash and were to pay their way by
exhibiting dioramic views in the cabin
at landings. Unfortunately the can
delights were not then shining
through the sycamOres along the Wa
bash, and before the Adventures reach
visions. In the woods they could find
nothing but papaws, luscious at first,
but quickly cloying.
For two days, wrote the sixteen
year-old Barnard, we had nothing
whatever to eat but those awful pa
paws. The very sight or memory of
one made me shudder. Then, on a joy
full, sunny afternoon, we approached
ShaWneetoWn, Ill.,, on the Ohio river.
where we were advertised to exhibit.
AS we came in we could see on the
bank crowd IF people. Some car
ried chickens, some eggs, some vans,
some potatoes, some ''side meat" (ba-
COM and some cornmeal. Our dinner
was in sight for all those things were
intended as payment for admission at
the door, and all were good"
Our stomachs hungered, and our
mouths watered for the feast; but,
alas, we were too eager! Working our
boat toward land, we ran upon reef
and stuck fast. Every effort to set us
free failed. Darkness came on, and be-
fore our eyes our ''house" disbanded
and went home, carrying our supper
with them.
Discouraged and forlorn, we turned
to our bag of papaws for what conso-
lation we could find and then went ia
sleep. In the night we foated free and
at daylight were in the woods again
eight miles below those luscious pro-
visions. That was one of the most
awful tragedies of my life.-Youth's

For Tender Feet.

After dancing for little while many
peoples feet get very tender and un-
comfortable. If you are troubled in
this way. try this plan: Put ivy leaves
next the soles of your feet, inside the
stockings. Cut out the hard center rib,
lay the leaves as smoothly as possible,
draw your stockings carefully over so
as not to disarrange them, and see that
your shoes fit just comfortably. For
walking in warm weather this is an ex-
cellent plan and prevents the feet from
getting tender.-New York News.
