Following out instructions from the

the old knife bay0net, which had been
employed In our army for years, and
with which our soldiers could cut down
an enemy, or throw up entrenchments
with equal facility, was tossed on To-
the junk heap. In Its place was suhsti-

the American troops the shortest carried

rifles showed that the shorter typecould
be adopted without loss Of accuracy or

the old play grounds of our
youthful days; and the happiest

finds himself in this happy place,

talking with his old school-mates
On the beautiful Saturday
morning, April 29, was greet

great School of Life, was to he
told by DR.. M. G. B. Mason. In
this, his baccalaurate sermon,
as the eleven graduates sat with
attentive and devoted minds, he
showed them that while they
were to cut, carve and mold in
the imponderable material of
the mind and soul. they had just
become fit subjects to enter the
school of life and commence the
duties of architects of fate. But

DR.. Mason.
Only the brilliancy of the day
faded when the setting sun told
that night had come; but We
grew none the less light hearted
for we knew that the hours of
Joy and the period of enthusi-
asm was still at hand. The low
illness of the evenings program
was the re lit of animated
minds and inspired hearts from
the noble sermon preached by
Elder Gilham of st. Louis, Mo.
He held the congregation for
more than an hour in touch with
that congenial spirit of love and
peace, which had been beauti-
fully illustrated in the address
of DR.. J. w. Gennings in the
early afternoon. At the closing
of the days program, was re-
ported a collection of S32; the
same of which was for the In

THE ENCORE.
1t Originated In France In the Severn


1t Originated In France In the seven-
teenth Century.
The beginning Of the encore dates
back to some time between 184o and
17O9 probably about 1850, when Louis
XIE. demanded the repetition Of GER
tain parts of an opera. The opera was
by Corneille, Fontenelle and Bolleau,
which was sung before his majesty,
and the king was SO pleased with GER
tain parts that be asked to have them
repeated. 1t took fully century FOR
the ordinary opera goers to obtain the
kings prerogative for themselves. 1t
came about in this way: Gluck had
produced an opera which had been
failure; but, having rewritten the
worst parts, he produced it again. One
or two songs were accepted by the au-
dience with applause, and one in par
ticular was demanded second time.
The most remarkable encores on rec
ord are those which were insisted upon
by the late king Of Bavaria. Before he
was known to be insane, when merely
thought eccentric, he had plays per-
formed before him as the sole auditor,
the curtain rising at midnight. If be
liked the play be insisted on having it
repeated at once. But, unlike most en-.
core fiends, he paid literally for them.
Though our word encore" is adopt
ed from the French, they themselves
do not make use of it in this connec-
ton. They call IBIS, bis" and obtain
repetition-New York Herald.

A FAMOUS STAR GROUP.


The Constellation Orion In AeEcaG
and Literature.
The constellation Orion is mentioned
in the literature Of all ages. In Egypt
it represented uorus, the young or us
ing sun, il boat surmounted by stars,
closely followed by Sirius, which was
shown rs 4 COW. 1t has also been
found sculptured on the walls OF
Thebcs 5000 years ago. And on the
men Of that early time it shone down
from the same position and with the
same brightness as it does on US today,
a striking example Of the unchange-
ablencss Of the heavens.
From the days Of the early I1indoos
to the present the constellation has for
some reason borne always a stormy
character. Allusions to its direful in1u-
ence are found everywhere among the
classic writer's. Thus Milton wrote:
When with fierce winds Orion arrived
Hath vexed the Red sea coast.
The loss of the Roman squadron in
the first Punic war was ascribed to the
fleets having sailed just after the ris-
ing Of Orion The group has also been
employed as a calendar sign, its morn
Ing rising indicating the beginning Of
summer, its midnight rising the season
Of grape gathering and its early even
ing rising the arrival Of winter, with
its attendant storms. In recent times
the group has always represented d
great hunter Or warrior. Its present
title came into Greek astronomy from
the Euphrates and originally signifed
the light Of heaven.

At three years of age John Stuart
Mill began the study Of Greek, with

At eight be began Latin, Euclid and
algebra and had to act as tutor to the
younger children. He was a stern and
efficient tutor.
At twelve he began scholastic logic
and political ecouomy-the latter bis

France, he learned French as relaxa.
ton from studying two or three hours
before breakfast, five hours between
breakfast and dinner and two or three
In the evening. Being for the time
master of his own hours and not sub
ject to a stern father, be took lessons
also in his spare hours in music, sing
ing, dancing, fencing and riding, but
never became proficient.
At sixteen Mill could speak in debate
with adults with ease and freedom.
At eighteen he contributed to the
Westminster Review. At twenty-one
he was made assistant in the India
Office and received large salary for
those days.
But Mill was bald at twenty-five.
He did not marry until be was forty
five. He himself said: 81 never was
