A Dreaded Quilt.

Queen Victoria was an expert and In
defatlgable knitter. During the Egyp
tian campaign she and the ladies OF the
household employed themselves in
knitting quilts, which at the end OF
the war were sent to Netley hospital
for the use of the wounded. One OF
these, made entirely by her majesty
and bearing an elaborate V. II. in the
center, was the coverlet par excellence
OF the institution and in universal de-
mand for time. In assessing the
claims of the candidates for the honor
OF sleeping upon It the medical stan
naturally gave the precedence to the
most severely wounded, and rs the
most severely wounded was the one
most likely to die very soon, alas, al
evil omen attached itself to the dstnc.

HARVARD AND YALE.

The gift of ten thousand dollars made by a Harvard man to Yale, for the pur- pose of cementing the friendship be- tween the two institutions, it must be admitted, has puzzled Harvard. No body at Cambridge knows why the gift was necessary, nor even advisable. The relations between the govsrning bodies of the two institutions are wholly friendly, nor can this gift make them any more so. President Eliot, indeed, thinks that the only form of strsnuous rivalry between the universities, that in athletics has been carried too far, and he would like to see less of it. The re- lations between Harvard and Yale are far more friendly than they were in the tin1s of Cotton Mather. That worthy, it may be remembered, disappointed in some efforts to get himself made presi
 dent of Harvard, coquetted with Yale and did his bsst to promote discord be- tween the colleges. It was Mather who said to the Yale men that he delight ed in the Yale commencemsnts far more than in those at Harvard" For the Yale men discussed only sober and seri- ous subjects, while the Harvard mer wasted their time talking of empty tritialities." President Eliot at least can teach the Yale men that Harvard now does more than that.-Boston Ad- vertiser.

TROUT EATS FROM HAND.

Bedding Man Has Something New in
 the Way of a Pet. S5
 George Banks, of Bedding, deputy game warden, has a pet the like of which there is probably not in the state or country. The pet is a big trout which MT. Banks placed in a spring near his house some time ago. The trout has bsen waxing fat since it be- gan it's residence in the spring and ap- pears to be perfectly contented in the exchange of the brook for the placid spring.
 The fish is fed with luscious worms every day by MT. Banks and 1t shows that 1t recognizes him as readily as a dog recognizes it's master It comes to the edge of the spring every time MT. Banks appears and waits for the expected worms. Not only will the fish approach as near the bank as 1t can swim, but will take worms from MT. Banks hand when he holds them within an inch of the surface of the water. This trick of thsl fish has been exhibited to many visitors at MT. Banks home, and it is surprising in view of the shyness and wariness of the trout variety.
