A circular letter of inquiry sent out by President James, of the University of Illinois, to lawyers practicing in that part of the country has brought him hundreds of replies, and digest of them appears in the Interocean of Chi cago. From this we learn that 348 of the lawyers have no students in their offices; five advise students to study the law nowhere else than in a law office; 2S5 advise them to do all their studying of the law in the law school: 122 advise them to study in both. As to preparation for the study of the law, 257 advise full college course; twen- ty-four advise "at least two years" at college; sixty-one advise high school course only, and seven would have the boy go straight to his law studies from the grammar school.

{ Tacoma is to have the tallest concrete chimney in the world. It will be three hundred feet high and four hundred and fifty feet above sea level. It marks an epoch in using concrete for such purpose. One well posted engineer goes 50 far as to declare that most of the building material for the next general ton will be stone, cement and concrete. The extension of building operations and great engineering works has ne- cessitated exact scientific investigations into the strength Of materials and the nature and binding power of cement. Grinders and joists of iron, imbedded in concrete, replace the old balks or raft CTS of timber, and, hidden in the ma sorry of the walls, answer for the for mer beams and arches of wood, while affording security from the ravages of fire

A little English girl wrote the fol- lowing essay on a cat: 1.-The cat is a square quadruped, and, as is customary with square quadrupeds, has it's legs at the four corners. If you want to please this animal you must stroke it on the back. If it is very much pleased it sets up it's tail quite stiff, like a ruler, so that your hand can- not get any further. The cat is said to have nine livess but in this country it seldom needs them all because of Christianity"

Printers Ink tells of man who grew to dislike another because the latter had failed to answer an import ant letter sent to him by the former. The writer afterward discovered the letter iri an inside pocket of his own coat, which was conclusive evidence that the other had not received it, and therefore was not delinquent. But he had got into such habit of disIiking te other man that he could not cure himself of it, even when the apparent justification for the feeling was re- moved.
