Topic: How TO Study Subject:
Excelsior QLongfellow).
In studying any piece of literature
We must frst find out the authors
purpose in writing il; what lesson he
wishes 10 teach or what truth he de
sires 10 bring out. The main point
that Longfellow makes in this poem
is that il is right and just 10 want to
excel, 10 be ambitious, TO be the best
in our profession. He uses as an H.
lustration Of that point a youth
climbing one Of the peaks Of the Alps,
and bearing in his hands a banner
which be clings TO through all his
hardships aud dangers. Upon this
banner is written the one word Eek
celsior," which he takes for his motto
throughout his journey; and il il
that word that spurs him on unta he
reaches the top. In his greatest trials,
when his temptations are strongest
and the way is toughest, he keeps up
his courage and determination 10y re-
peating that word He is tempted
by the PLEASURES Of home and love and
is warned Of the great danger ahead,
but in spite Of ali he goes bravely on,
determined 10 climb higher than any
one ever did before, and nothing can
swerye him from his determination.
The application TO us is that il we
would excel all others we must be
willing to make sacrifices; we must
endure hardships, we must resist
temptations, we must give up many
pleasures and must even be willing
TO die in the struggle if necessary, as
this youth did. He reached the sum
nit of the mountain, but was found
dead there, still clasping the banner.
Longfellow does not mean that
every one should give up all happiness
and the pleasures of life to satisfy
ambition. He simply meant that II is
not selfish or wrong TO be satisfied
with nothing short of the highest and
best, but that in order 10 secure it,
we must struggle and persevere.

The Cabbage snake Scare.

More than hundred letters have
been received by the Missouri
Agricultural College asking for
information concerning the so-called
poisoning cabbage snake" and the
collection of snails, centipedes and
other creeping things received from
these inquirers would form the
foundation for a splendid collection
of Missouri's lower animal life The
most peculiar thing about this scare
that has swept the state from one
end 10 the other is that it has no
foundation in fact. Prof. j. NJ.
Stedman, etomologist Of the college
says, "Not thing is to be found on
cabbage that could not have been
found any fall for the last twenty
years. And more than this" he
continues, "there is not an animal
in the world that will poison cabbage
so as to injure the person eating the
cabbage alone or both cabbage and
animal. The whole scare seems TO
have started from a fake report
concocted by a correspondent of one
Of the st. Louis papers. Being hard
pressed for news one day, he wrote
Of whole family that had come to a
painful death from eating cabbage
on which new reptile resembling a
small snake was present in large
numbers. Other papers copied the
story. People read it and began 10
carefully scrutinize their cabbage
patch, and of course we're rewarded
by finding upon it bugs and worms
that can be found any fall. The
mott common specimen l have
received is a nematode worm, some
what resembling horse hair, that
lives as a parasite in crickets and
grasshoppers and is perfectly harm
less. Not a single one of the seventy
five specimens | have received is at
all injurious. This so-called cab
bage snake is a myth pure and
simple, and people should cease
bothering about it."-Western Fruit

some Faults Of farmers.

Once in a while some farmers do
have some faults For instance:
Nine times out OF ten il is more
the fault Of the farmer that his
horse is not well broken than il is OF
the horse himself. A careful, steady
man will be quite apt to have a
steady well-trained horse.
More often than otherwise, when
the COW kicks the milk pail out of
the window and the man after il,
the man on the milking stool is the
one who ought TO be punished. The
COW knows when she is well-treated,
and appreciates it fully as much as
the rest of US.
So, too, more COWS and other stock
are made unruly by the fault of the
owner in not providing good fences.
In fact, most of the trouble for
which we blame our farm stock
comes from some lack of good
judgment on our part.-Fdrm Jour
