Professors May be Better Paid.

An attempt is quietly making this
winter to secure fund for paying
better salaries 10 professors and in
structors of Harvard college. The
present situation is generally admitted
to be- bad-not so bad perhaps as at
some other colleges where high grade
work is done by men who receive
ridiculously inadequate compensa-
ton, but bad enough to occasion con-
Germ among friends of Harvard who
believe that a college teacher should
be paid at least an adequate living
salary. The incomes of many of the
Harvard professorships and lecture
ships are derived from conditional
bequests, and yield amounts that
vary somewhat from year to year.
There is, furthermore, no fixed stand
ard of salaries even among the unen
dowed positions. Making allowance,
however, for so many exceptions that
the g. neral rule seems hard to estab-
lish, it may be said that a full pro-
fessor in Harvard college gets 81, 600
a year; an associate professor, SO, 600;
an assistant professor, $4,000; an in
structor, $1,000; au assistant from
$3.50 to $4o0.

Easter in 1905.

The coming year is one in which
uncertainty might arise as to the date
OF Easter, if the Prayer Book rule
We're strictly followed, says London
Nature. Doctor Downing, +. r. S.,
OF the Nautical Almanac office, states
that inquiries have been addressed to
him on the subject. According to the
Prayer Book, Easter Day Con which
all other movable feasts and holy
days depend) "is always the first
Sunday after the full moon, which
happens upon or next after the 21st
day of March" In 1905 the moon is
full on the morning of Tuesday,
March 81, at All 56min. Greenwich
time, and, therefore, Easter Day
would seem to be the Sunday follow
ing, March 26. But, exp aims Doctor
Downing, 'the moon referred to in
the ecclesiastical calendar is not the
actual moon in the sky, which is full
at definite instant of time; but a
fictitious moon, the times of the
phases of which are so arranged as
not TO differ much from those of the
actual moon. These phases are held
to occur vaguely on certain days and
hold good for all Iongitudes. In the
instance befol us the actual moon is
full at 4h. 56min. a. m. Greenwich
mean time, while the same moon is
full at 1lh. 4Smin. p. m. (on the pre-
ceding day. Washington mean time.
Thus people adopting Greenwich
time would keep Easter on March 26,
while those adopting Washington
time would keep it on April %, the
next full moon" Doctor Downing
gives as the simplest expression for
the date of the Paschal full moon
March GA epacD. When the epact
is equal to or greater than "a this en-
preston gives the date of the preced-
ing full moon, and the Paschal full
moon is found by adding 30 to this
da'e. In 1905 the epacr is 81, and the
calendar moon is full on March 20
and April Is. The latter is, there
fore, the Paschal full moon, and
Eas' er Day is the Sunday following,
April 23-as stated in he almanacs.

WE DISAGREE.

mn + are sorry that obliged to differ with
It1 some, but all cannot be perfect harmony, and
while you may think this is right others may
consider it all wrong.
County officers should not be reelected, especi-
ally the second time. Two terms may be all right
but more than that is all wrong.
There is not county in the State that does not
have more than good man, and when any per-
son asks for the third term they imposing upon
their friends.
Whether it has been customary or not to con-
tlnue men in office in Montour county, we cannot
agree with those who favor It,
One of our esteemed contemporaries this week
claims that good man o should be reelected" and
sighted the services of the late VIM johnson as
Register and Recorder for fourteen terms in our
county.
Mr. johnson did serve Montour county for
over fourteen TERMS it is true, but he never had
strong opposition and was very popular. If any
more popular person would have opposed him, we
claim it was wrong to retain him in Office
If it is an honor to hold office, is it not right
to share the honors. If it is burden, is it not
right for them to be shared! If any good whatso-
ever comes from anything, is it not pure selfshness
to want it all for ones self!

RUSSIA'S SELF-DELUSION.

"a NE of the reasons alleged by Russia for refus-
W ing to listening to any proposals looking to-
wards peace is that she now has the home stu
alton well in hand; that is that the revoutonists,
strikers, Students ralroaders and many others have
been cowed and that no more trouble may be ex-
pected from that quarter. MEANWHILE she will be
able to direct all her energies to supporting and
strengthening her Asian armies, Win d.. equal
chance to emerge victorious from the contest. The
news from every part of Russia, from Finland on
the north to Odessa in the south, and eastward to
the Caspian, contradicts that in the most emphatic
way. The evidence that comes across the ocean
from day to day shows that instead of diminishhAs
the troubles are growing 1t is true, that there
no such violent outbreaks like the first demonstra-
ton in st. Petersburg but, instead of that one,
there are now half hundred, and they dstribu-
ted all over the country. Government workshops
have been brought to standstill. Government
utilities, like railroads, have been halted and must
be run by soldiers; the police in the larger cities
are striking for higher pay; troops have to guard
all the railroad stations between Moscow and St.
Petersburg to prevent their destruction; the tel
egraph lines must also be guarded. Even the re-
serves the soldiers who have been called out to 90
to the front, are refusing to 60. Pretending to
know that ''the is over" they tell the officers
in charge, ''We know you simply want to make
money out of contract for feeding us; we will not
serve;" and off they march.
These are very dangerous symptoms, and they
are increasing in numbers and extent instead of
growing less The peasantry are beginning to take
a hand, and it promises to lead to an uprising of
that large class. They are avang themselves of
the disturbed situation of the empire to demand land
for themselves In some localities they have been
told by secret agents that the Gar has decided to
allot them lands in severay and they have actually
gone to work to parcel out the estates of the large
landed proprietors among themselves.
How, in the face of all these internal disorders,
the Gar and his advisers can persuade themselves
that the situation at home is improving is difficult to
understand. If to what is said above we add that
the Films stand ready to revolt against the taking
away of their guaranteed constitutional rights; the
people of Poland once more to rise in nsurrection,
and even some Asiatic provinces in state of mind
that will plunge them into any excess, however ill
advised or dangerous, fails to see how the Rus
sian Government can claim to have the case we'll in
hand. A defeat in Manchuria would augment these
troubles tenfold. The fact appears to be that moth
ing but the lack of in the hands of the people
prevents general uprising, with probably dis
placement of the Romanoff dynasty.

GAME NEGLECTED.

(ft R. RITTER, of the Office force of the Intelli-
Ill gencer, reveals to us some startling con-
cerning the severe conditions of the present
winter the existence of food for birds and other
animals in the rural districts. Sunday he took a
walk in the direction of the hospital for the nsane
and near about that institution he noticed number
of crows flying and hopping about pile of refuse
that contained sort of stencil that evidently at
tracted them by its odor 1t quite noticeable
that the birds suffered some disability, for as rule
these pests very alert and high themselves away
at the approach of man. Upon closer inspection it
was found that half of the flock was blind. Mr.
Ritter caught one and found it very light in weight
and weak. Scattered about were the bodies of many
dead ones that had died, possibly, of starvatian.
The crow is generally very hardy and if the
present winter has been as to exterminate
many of its kind, what can expect of the more
delicate birds and other animals that are less bold
and not so strong of constitution.

shares increased by nearly million
pounds sterling. The boom in the
shares was largely the result of the
assumption that where one gem of
3032 carats is found Others as big or
even bigger may be located. The
discovery cannot, however, be re-
garded as a net gain 10 the company,
because under the present diamond
law the Government is entitled to six
tenths of all the net profit.
There is something very much like
fairy tale in the history of the
Premier mine, which is located on a
farm whose Boer owner sold it two
years ago for sos, 900. The nominal
capitol of the Premier Company is
$4,000. 1t earned last year $667,-
73S, and the market value of the
shares is now in the neighborhood Of
$4,000, 900. Between October and
January 81 shares have risen from
40 to 80. When the latter figure was
reached few days ago the shares
were split into five shilling preference
shares and half crown deferred shares.
The former were quoted the otler

The other parts of the program,
viz:
Recitation by Miss Dietz, of Ply

successful entertainment.
The Waitress Drill, given by eight
small girls, showed careful training
and good taste, making it one of the
most acceptable numbers of the
program.

Geo. w. Miles, one of the charter

confining his remarks principally to
the origin and work of the order, and
briefly showed the work of the frater-
nal orders, in removing the prejudice
engendered by the war and completed
the work of making us a united peo-
pie, closing on this line by saying
that in the many thousand lodges,

assemble in every lodge room, North

Banner occupies conspicuous posi-

resented as speedily on one side Of the

strong voice, but his pleasing man

just proportions between the parts of the human

increased unshapeliness and discomfort. There
never were more beautiful feet than the Greek

THE BIG DIAMOND
Estimates of Its value Go Beyond
SI25,OOO, 1000.

The discovery Mt Elandsfontein,
near Pretoria, of a diamond which is
reputed to be three times heavier
than the largest stone previously
found has sci the calcuators at work
with amusing results, says London
special cable dispatch to the New
York Sun One of these, who bases
his calculations on the estimated
value of the famous Regent or Pitt
diamond, figures that the new gem,
even If two-thirds of its bulk is lost
in cutting, ought to be worth $25,-
574, ,0S5. This is the most daring of
all computations, most of which vary
between half million and three
million sterling, with one of $l5,-
900, 900
Nothing beyond the bare report of
the discovery of the stone is yet
known, and later information may
reduce this marvel to dimensions
which can more easily be graspeh.
There is no present reason, however,
to doubt that it greatly exceeds the
Excelsior stone of go carats uncut,
which was found at Jagersfontein,
and was the largest hitherto found in
South Africa. This was cut into nine
large gems in December, 1904, by
Tiffany, and doubtless the new stone
will also be divided.

n UST now Mill street presents very ungainly y

ing of Spring and the sweeping of the street the
merchants should be forced to keep their stores in
side. That is to say, give us more room on the

of the twelvefoot side walk has been appropriated
to the display of some of our merchants goods. We
believe in advertising, and satisfied this is
most attractive way of displaying what has to

the duty of Borough Council to for.
Let us hope that the pavements will not be
used as grocery and dry goods advertising stands,
but that other means will be employed to attract
customers in the future
