MARRIED TO A VASE.
Unique Ceremony Not lnfrequent In
the Celestial Empire.

One of the most extraordinary OF
Chinese customs to Western minds
is the not infrequent practice of mar
rying celebrated widows to native
vases. An American traveller wit.
messed such a ceremony, which was
performed with great pomp. The
widow was Of high station. When the
news of her husbands death reached
her she was inconsolable and wished
,to enter the state of widowhood but
her father demurred. Somebody sug.
gested that another husband might be
forthcoming, and, as may readily be
surmised, at this stage of the proceed
ings the woman was In despair A wise
teacher of the Confuclan philosophy
was consulted and he recalled to mind
the ancient ceremony of n marriage to
fiowec vase. II was rite of great
antiquity, legend attributing its origin
to an empress who ruled before the
Christian era. 1t was decided that
the woman might marry the red
vase" II was necessary, however,
to procure the imperial sanction. This

ed, and on May the wedding was sol
emnizei.
In the procession the vase was car.
rled under sllken canopy on palan-
quin borne by youths OF noble birth.
while the bride followed in another
palanquin guarded by twelve maidens
and twelve matrons. A military guard
and civic escort made up the parade.

some time sampled the cooking of the
Domestic Science girls, which affords
sufficient recommendation for the
department. The neat needlcwork
o'syiayed In the students exercises,
ana the fashionable dresses and tailor

rooms as student work, have been
praised by the best critics OF domestic
arts In the country. 1t is the depart

The work Of reconstructing the
Mechanic Arts buildings is almost
finished, and a finer structure than
the one destroyed by fire last Septem-

foundry, and forge shop, are now
covered, the smoke stack is completed,
the scafiold torn down, and, with the
exception Of the central front, the

he excels. That accounts for the fact
that there are half dozen lucrative
positions awaiting every graduate OF
the Agricultural College. He is not
"out of job" II he wants one. The
College does not guarantee position
to anyone, but 1t does guarantee TO
every earnest student, who will com

courses, an education that will make
him useful citizen. 1t is an inter

Conclusion.

The Agricultural College OF Utah
ranks among the best technical
schools OF the country 1t has com.
plete laboratory equipment, plenty OF
class room, and a strong teaching
force, IL offers long and short courses
In Agriculture, Commerce, Domestic
Science and Art, Engineering, and Me-
chanic Arts, and General Science. And
for the accommodation OF those who
are unable TO attend school except
during the winter months special
provisions have been made in the es-
Enlistment Of short winter courses.
Every student has free access to a
library Of more than 1900 volumes,
and In the scientific laboratories the
use Of thousands Of dollars worth of
apparatus for experimental work.

Student ORGANIZATIONS.

During the past two years there has
been comparatively little interest
taken in literary activities and debate.
This important phase OF school work
has been TO some extent neglected.
But this year is a genuine renaissance

Attendance.

On account of the Importance of
the Mechanic Arts courses and the
complete handicap Of the College in
these lines as result of the fire, it
was believed by many that the pheno-
henal growth of the institution would
be seriously and suddenly checked.
IL was, at least, the general impress
sion that there would be marked
diminuti0n in the registration this
year. Contrary to these expectations,
however, the students have returned
to the college this year In almost equal
: numbers and with greater enthusiasm
and earnestness than ever before. The
enrolment today is practically the
same as that Of one year ago. Never
before were there so many students
exhibiting real pride and interest in
their work and SO few idlers. II last
year is to be regarded as a remarkable
epoch In the growth OF the school,
this year Is equally remarkable for its
development In the character of the
work done.
The School OF Engineering and
Mechanic Arts has suffered from the
effects of adverse legislation and fire
AS result there are not so many
students registered in this depart
ment at present But the reconstruc-
tion Of the shops will completely over
come the evil effects of the later
calamity and with the new year will
come scores OF young men who appre-
ciatc the worth of manual training
. and know the value of higher educa-
Rion.
y There is practically no loss in regis
tration in the School OF Commerce,
while IN the Schools of Agriculture
and Domestic Science, the enrolment
Is much higher this year than last.

Agriculture.

The fact that the school OF Agricul
ture has regist cred more students this
year than ever before, is an indication
that scientific farming is becoming
popular in Utah. 1t has been said
that college graduates will not return
to the farm, and therefore IL is waste
Of time and money for young man
who intends TO follow agricultural
pursuits TO spend five or six years In
school. This apparent tendency TO
educate away from the farm Is easily
explained. A boy is born and reared
on the farm; it is his home and he
loves IL, He has not thought of spend
ing his life elsewhere. But he real
ICES TO some extent the value OF an
education and he enters school, It is
certain that IL he takes an .agricul-
tural course his love for the farm will
not be diminished. On the other
hand, as he becomes acquainted with
the processes Of growth In plants and
animals and the forces at work in the
soils, understands the relationship be-
tween soil fertility and crop produc-
tion, knows the available forms of
plant foods and can judiciously select
' Ksfertilizers and apply them In prop
amounts, his interests 10 agricul-
lure Is intensified. But when he COM
p.etes his course his broad training
has qualified him for positions that
yield better returns than he could ex-
,pect from the farm. He Is wanted In
.the Experiment Station, for he is able
10 do scientific experimental farming
He Is wanted as teacher. He would
make good foreman for one of the ex-
perimental farms. lie could make an
accurate soil survey. His Services are
In demand everywhere, and he cannot
get back to the ordinary farm life. III
a larger number OF agricultural stu
dents were graduated each year, these
desirable positions could all be filled
and the surplus of educated agricul-
turalists could return TO the farm.
When these conditions prevail, farm
ing will be raised TO tie dignity OF
profession. Tor young men, who, Tor
any reason, cannot remain In college
long enough to get this necessary
scientific training, there is provided
three years course in agriculture,
which aims to prepare the student for
intelligent and successful farming, and
1T the same time equip him with
Thorough high school education,
