No school anywhere gives its pupils better or more home like sur roundings, and those connected with the man. agement of The Alabama Brenau are untiring in their efforts to make the stay of the pupils at the college, not only profitable, but pleasant. To this end the somewhat monotonous life of school girl is varied with finding entertain ments and social functions which tend to fit the young ladies of the school for assuming leading positions in the society of their homes. These entertainments are conducted entirely by the faculty and student body, with two exceptions, at Christmas and Commencement of each year. On these occasions, reception is rendered the college classes by the Faculty and the young ladies are permitted to invite their young gen. tlemen friends. The first of these receptions was given on Friday evening last, and was thor oughly enjoyed by all present. The large par lore, recreation hall and music studios on the

During the present session, with the house literally packed with students, there has not been single case of illness-a record al- most unparalleled in the history of schools.

Eufaula, Ala, Dec. 16-When Professors Van Hoose and Pearce of Brenau College Conservatory Gainesville, Ga, decided to open Spring, one of the conditions upon which they agreed to come was that Eufaula would provide a new building so soon as the present building was filled. ,A At that time, the school then known as Union Female College, was closed and had been without students for two years. No one dreamed that within two months after opening the first session of the Alabama Bre- nau the house would be filled with students and that Eufaula would in so short time be called upon to redeem its pledge. But this is just what has happened, and the plans for the new building, cut of which is herewith pre- sented, are being drawn by T. W. Smith & Co.,, Architects, of Columbus, Ga.,
 THE NEW BUILDING
 Will be one of the most elegant structures for college purposes, in the South. In style it will be colonial, broad verandas, supported by large columns, extending around the entire building. It will contain handsome parlors, a large recit- ation hall, Y. W. c. A. room, a beautiful hall. stage and settings for the department of oratory, some fifteen or twenty practice rooms, dining hall, kitchen, fifty bed rooms, baths, toilet, etc.
 It will be handsomely finished in yellow pine, and no college in the South will offer more home like surroundings to the pupils than will the Alabama Brenau.

Naming the Baby.

In some foreign lands the baby's name is chosen in strange ways. The little Chinese girls of the poorer classes are thought of so little importance that they rarely get name at all as in- fants. but are called number one, two, three or whatever their place in the list of daughters may be. Chinese boys are given a name by which they are called till they attain the age of 20. Then their father gives them new name. Japanese girls have pretty names, usually those of some flower

Regret has been often expressed re-

many species of wild animals.
Of late, however, some of the worlds
millionaires have begun to devote their
attention to the task of preserving

which buffaloes, antelopes, giraffes,

carefully cherished. In some cases

the miserably poor representation, their

Exposure of the practice Of the

Bourke Cochran, of New York, and

this bill will be taken up and given
the serious consideration which it
was denied at the last session, but
that a bill containing provisions of
the same general description as those
of the Cochran bill will be introduced
and pressed to a vote is moral GER
tainty.
The Cochran bill provided that
every contribution Of more than $50

NEW PONTOON BRIDGES.
CoIIapsible Boats of Canvas Which

The soldiers of the United States En-
gineers' Corps seem to have solved one
of the greatest problems which has
confronted generals in command of an
army when on the march. Small un-
fordable streams are often encountered
by the army and these must be crossed
in the shortest time possible. In fact
large rivers often confront an army
when about to give battle to the enemy,
and it would take weeks, if not months,
to construct even temporary bridges
to allow the men with their heavy
ornaments to cross. The pontoon
boat, of course, is well known to every
reader of history, for this most useful

Postof1ce Department.
Each holiday season brings to her
desk thousands and thousands of
Santa Claus" letters and were she of
the ordinary type of clerk, thinking
only of the salary she draws twice
month, these letters might go into
Uncle Sans waste basket without so
much as thought for the writer's.
Not so with Mrs. Collins. Through
her generous heart, her love for chill
dren and, possibly, with a memory or
two of her own when she, too, believed
in the real existence of the children's
patron saint, this lovable woman at
tends first to her duties of returning
the letters to their writer's if this is
possible and then she plays Mrs.
Santa Claus" to her army of little
friends.
Christmas Presents to the Children
When surh a thing is possible Mrs.
Collins finds out the addresses of these
children, sends them some little thing
they have asked for and gets her
friends interested in them until she
has now earned the title which came
to her so long ago merely through her
associations with this part of Uncle
Sans postoffice.
This is rather the sentimental side
of Mrs. Collins work, but there is an
other and scientific phase of it which
has made her invaluable to the Gov
ernment. She is the official chiro-
graphical expert of the Department
and through her efforts each year

whom it is addressed.

to the republican committees in the
last three presidential campaigns,
and John A. Mccall, president of the
New York Life Insurance Company
admitted that he had contributed
$150,O0O of the company's funds to
the same committees. In fact the
big companies have frequently been

Public May Demand Legislation.
There are two questions involved
in any fair consideration of these dis
closures. The first is the deslra bility
of corporations taking such an active
and influential part in political cam
paigns and the second Is the moral
ity of corporation officers making
contributions on their own initiative
out Of funds that are really trust
funds.
CT course a law can be made pro-
hibiting campaign contributions by
insurance companies or other corpo-
rations. This may correct the abuse
or it may not. Laws are not always
obeyed or enforced. There, for exam
pie are the laws of Moses. The world
has been violating them for thou
sands of years. 1t might be consid-
cred fair if the directors of every in
surance company, savings bank, trust
company or o.her corporation hand
ling the peoples money, would adopt
a rule forbidding absolutely all such
contributions and holding every Off
Ger financially and morally respon-
sible for its observance. Second, po-
litical candidates and committees
could announce that they would
neither solicit nor receive cn-tribu.
tiors.
Public sentiment is rapidly crystal.

Looked Upon as Cochran Oddity.
The bill was treated with derision
last winter, both by the daily press
and by gentlemen of tue Louise OF
Representatives, the Senate and
Third House. 1t was worth a laugh,
people said. There was very little
corruption, they averred. The idea
that corporations employed legisla-
tive agents and disbursed huge sums
of money for or against certain bills
was moonshine doled out by sensa-
tionalists to crafty the morbid fancy
and the appetite for scandal of a Pc
culiar class of peop.e.
The legislative inquiry into the af-
fairs and conduct of the Equitable
Life and Mutual insurance companies
at New York seems to have placed
the matter of campaign contributions
and legislative disbursements in
other than a humorous Tight. 1t ma'
ters not whether the corporations
come forward voluntarily with their
contributions to camnai~n funds or
whether they are solicited and hound
ed by campaign collectors until they
contribute-the result is the same.
