BRINGS RARE CURIOS.
Army Officer Must Pay Duty on
His Treasures.


Five Chinese imperial seals and II
jade tablets from the temple at Pc
king, which were brought home By
Lieut. John B. Schoeffel. of the Ninth
infantry, were seized at the transport
dock at San Francisco by the customs
officers the other day Itwas supposed
at first that the tablets were of great
historical value, but more careful ex-
animation convinces the customs Off
cials that they were simply ornaments
and of no particular value except as
curios. Both the tablets and seals are
beautifully done, and they will com
mand high prices as eurios. 1t was in
tended at first to hold the relics pend
ing instructions from Washington, but
later it was decided that Schoeffel
could have his property by paying the
duty. The amount has not been fixed.
The imperial seals weigh about six
pounds. are of rectangular shape,
about six inches square and three
inches in height. Carved dragons in
crouching attitudes surmount the
block. serving as handles. Chinese
characters are carved in relief on the
base of the seals, and a yellow tassel is
knotted on one of them. The tablets
are of dark green jade, each inscribed
on one side with Chinese characters
traced in gold. The five-toed dragon
the Chinese royal escutcheon, is i'm
printed on the other side, also traced
in gold. The tablets are ten inches by
five, by one-half an inch in thickness
Lieut.. Schoeffel said he bought the
jade tablets of Chinese, who did mo-
tell him where they came from. He
declares that if they are Of any his
torical value he did not know it. II.
bought them simply as curios, and ha.
been carting them around for tw.

HOUSEKEEPING LORE.
Various Bits Of DOmes Informa-
tion for the Aia of the Basy
Housewife.

Flour used for cake should be the
pastry or winter wheat which lumps
in the sitter.
Kettles should never be allowed to
boil dry and then be filled with cold
water, thus cracking the enamel.
Wash-silk waists should be washed
as the colored shirt waists Before
they are wholly dry iron on the wrong
side. A little gum arabic water will
give the waist a slight stiffness if de-
sired.
After your bacon is sliced off do not
throw away the rind as useless Scrub
off the outside with plenty of water
and vegetable brush and use the, rind
with the scraps of fat remaining to
season your dried pea soup or your
kettle of greens"
To Prepare Starch.-Mix three ia
blespoonfuls of starch with half cup
of cold water and cook 20 minutes.
Strain through cheese cloth and use
! hot. While cooking add one-half a tea>
spoonful of lard or a small piece of
wax, and this will help to keep the
, starch smooth and prevent it from
sticking to the iron. A wheat starch
| is considered best.
Did you know that iced coffee with
lemon is quite as refreshing as iced
tea? Make an extra amount for
breakfast. pour what is left off the
grounds into glass jar and set down
cellar or in the icebox to chill. At
luncheon or dinner serve in glasses
with Clipped ice and sliced lemon.
By the way, never allow either tea or
| coffee to stand on its grounds. Al
ways strain before setting away to
cool.
If the appetite flags and one feels
that it is too hot to eat anything
an egg lemonade taken two or three
times day will keep up the strength
The acid of the lemon neutrahzes the
bilious tendencies of the egg and the
physicians frequently recommend it to
comsumptives or those with liver tron-
BILE. Either milk or water may be used
To one well-beaten egg add two level
tablespoonfuls of sugar and the juice
of half lemon. Fill the glass with
milk or water, beating rapidly as it is
poured in.

ORIGIN OF ICE CREAM.
The Process of Evolutio ON Dates Back
to the Begin ming of the Sew
enteenth Century,

Ice cream has been brought to it's
present state of perfection by grad
ual process of evolution from the
original idea which dates back to the
beginning of the seventeenth century,
says What to Eat. At that time iced
fruits and~cups made of ice first ap-
peared at banquets. Like many other
good things for the table, ice cream
claims Paris for its birthplace, and yet
it was not Frenchman but an Ital-
ian named Precope Couteaux who first
thought out the idea of icing lem
onades and liquors. From this was
gradually evolved over 100 years later
ice cream, or iced butter, as it was then
called, from it's resemblance to that
article of food
While all civilized nations serve ices
in great variety, we are apt to think
of ice cream as an essentially Ameri-
can dish, probably because frozen des-
serts of all kinds are more generally
used in this country than in any other.
Ice cream first made its appearance in
America in Philadelphia at the end of
the eighteenth century. 1t was then
considered a great luxury, and, conse-
qnently, was rarely seen except on
state occasions. 1t was not within the
reach of ordinary mortals until 1900,
Wen an Italian confectioner estab-
l'shed an ice cream house, as it was
then called, at Germantown, a suburb
Of Philadelphia.

Athens, Ca, June 9.-Chancellor Hill
read his annual report before the
board of trustees this afternoon and it
was referred to the committees. After
a general introduction the chancellor
reported the attendance upon the uni
versity during the past session as fol-
lows: OF college grade: In Franklin
College, ISL; in State College of Agri-
culture. 1853; in graduate school, A; in
North Georgia Agricultural College, 1876;

sional schools: In the law department,

total attendance was 2,491.
The New Science Hall.
The destruction of Science Hall and
the loss to the university was referred
to at some length. Concerning the
The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1904-06-10

steps taken to repair the loss thus
sustained. the chancellor said:
THE insurance was $685. 900 on the
building and equipment. In insuring
for this sum the officers of the uni
versity followed the state law, Code
Sec. 124, which directs that state
property shall be insured for one-half
it's value. This means that the state
chooses to be, to the extent of one
half of the value. its own insurer upon
public property and to make good the
other half in case of loss. The restora-
ton of the loss with incidental ad
vantage to the university will be Sc
cured by erecting Science Hall as a
two-story building with d basement,
and providing for the classes taught
in the third story in the various
branches of biology, smaller building
not greatly exceeding in cost a third
story for the larger building. Among
the many advantages of such a plan is
that in this way better light can be
secured for the large amount of work
done with the microscope in the biologi-
cal laboratories. 1t has been suggested,
1 think fehcitously, that the larger
building should be named Terrell Hall,
after Dr. William Terrell, whose en-
dowment of the chair of scientific Ag-
riculture in 1854 was one of the earliest
recognitions of the Importance of this
be called LeConte Hail, in honor of
the scientist of national reputation Of
whom the university was the Alma
Mater"
The Peabody Library.
The approaching completion of the
Peabody Library building was referred
to, ana the trustees were reminded
that the university will have to pro-
vide for its equipment at cost of S.
600, the $4,000 given by Mr.. Peabody
being for the building alone.
Concerning the election of a libra
rian. the following appears in the re-
port: "The election Of librarian-in-
chief viii be necessary cordially
indorse the recommendation of the Lii
brary Committee that he be an expert
whose training in library science and
whose general culture will qualify him
10 be a guide and inspiration to the
students in the use of the library, and
member of the faculty. The require
ments of discipline and the reasons for
his membership in the faculty make il
important that a man be chosen for
the position" The retention of the
present librarian, Miss Sarah Frierson,
as assistant librarian is strongly urged.
University Organization.
The chancellor referred in terms OF
highest praise to the work of State
Agent Joseph S. Stewart and said:
Il transmit herewith the report of Mr..
j. S. Stewart. the State Agent of the
University. His broad comprehension
of his duties as outlined in his report
dsarmed criticism from the beginning.
His work has been beneficial to the
university and TO all the interests of
education in the state. and this fact
/ believe has been generally recogniz-
ed. He has visited eighty-one COun-
ties. delivered loo public addresses, has

visited or inspected 106 high schools and
local systems; he has addressed the
people in courts in more than forty
counties. In these addresses. without
antagonizing any form of education, he
has emphasized the unity of the uni
versity organization and is thus pre-
pairing the way for the work proposed
by the University Auxiliary of aiding
the several institutions composing the
university system"
The school of Agriculture.
The School of Agriculture received a
good deal of attention in the report, Of
the chancellor, who said among other
things:
Despite the conditions relating to
the School of Agriculture as a separate
school, it is gratifying to report great
Improvement and progress in this de-
partment in the state college. Fortu-
nately this encouraging statement does
not depend for it's evidence upon i'm
pressiOns of officers of the university
who might be charged with occupying
positions involving Partially of view.
On the contrary, it is we'll known that
some years ago the General Assembly
passed an act providing that on the
board of visitors appointed by the Gov
ernor to the university, two experts in
agriculture and horticulture should be
designated. The members of this
board occupy ten days each year in
minute and careful investigation of the
university, and the two gentlemen APP
pointed on the board with special ref
erence to an examination of the de-
partment of agriculture, of course
bring about a careful and detailed in
quiry into it's condition. The boards of
visitors thus constituted have for two
years in succession declared that the
department of agriculture was well
officered; that the instruction is ex-
cellent, both scientific and practical;
and that the trustees and faculty of
the university were doing all in their
power to encourage and upbuild this
department.
Various legislative committees have
been appointed and have likewise made
favorable reports. The Agricultural
Society met in Athens last year, and it
was the general remark of the dele
gates that they had not seen any
where IN the state of Georgia a finer
cotton experiment than they found on
the university campus in the area of
The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1904-06-10

seven or eight acres that had been set
apart on the campus for the purposes
of the School of Agriculture. All the
foregoing reports and statements may
confidently be referred to as showing
that all that could be done with the
resources in hand for the School of
Agriculture has been done by the
trustees and the faculty.
The good work done by State Direc-
tor HarVie Jordan, in charge of the
Farmers Institutes under the direc-
ton of the university, was highly COM
mended, as was also the work of Com
mandant Griggs in the department of
military tactics.
The Law school.
| Chancellor Hill referred most happily
to the progress and development of the
University Law School and the report
made by Dean Sylvanus Morris of that
department. Among other things he
SAID:
The two-year course has brought
great advantage not only to the in
! dividual students, who are more thor
| oughly prepared for the bar, but has
! in every way improved the morale of
the department by having continuous
| ly in the university representative of
| the law department. The present
senior class is an exceptionally able
ments with just pride upon their large
participation in the literary activities
of the university and in the debating
societies. He calls attention to the
great need for Improvement In the IL
brary of the Law School,"
school of Commerce Suggested.
The chancellor commended the idea
of establishing a school of commerce
at the university whenever the finances
of the institution warrant that innova-
ton. He spoke of the School of Phar-
macy being unable to commence its
work on account of the destruction of
Science Hall, and expressed the hope
that the university would soon be able
to provide this department. The con-
dition of the literary societies and of
athletics is reported as being great
ly improved. The work of the Univer-
sity Summer School was highly praised.
