 A student at Oxford -by no manner of means is allowed the freedom the Amer ican college man" has. Every morning the Oxford collegian is reused by a "scout" that he may be in time to keep chapel or roller" (roll-calD, and be it known that a person must keep a specified number a term in order to re- ceive official credit of having resided" that term If he chooses chapel he must be in his seat before the bell has ceased ringing; if he chooses roll-call he must affix his name to piece of paper before a bell has ceased to ring. He is now pre- sumably up, ready for the days work. In about an hour breakfast arrives, served Ia carte in the students sitting room. He may partake in solitary state, or, as usually happens. breakfast with a classmate or group of fellows. Invita- tions to breakfast are common cour- tesies and the hour after the matin meal often devoted to social interchange and a social pipe. From ten to one, books and lectures.
 The afternoon the Oxonian spends out of doors-for that is what the Eng lishman considers afternoon is made for Rowing, walking, hockey, cricket tennis, polo-any number of sports out of doors, and then another social hour over afternoon tea, manly function at Oxford Dinner takes place "in hall" an old-time building where old time customs obtain Tn the evening a man studies or seeks diversion, as it may happen. If he desires to go out oi college he must leave before nine o'clock; if he stays out later than nine he is fined if he stays out later than 1a it is very dreadful offense. for which he may be sent down Wherefore a trip to London, two hours away, and q theater party there. is quite out of the question.

IAN OXFORD STUDENT
A GLIMPSE OF COLLEGE LIFE
 IN ENGLAND.
An American Students Impression of the Famous University-Culture and Not Cramming - The
 Air of Ease.

The first thing that strikes an Amer ican student beginning study at this ia
 nous university, is that everything Is so awfully English. you know.
 There Is the hospitality. there is the daily afternoon tea, and there Is the wine drinking. Also, what specially i'm.
 presses the American is the large ease.
 the time enough-yery different from the strenuousness of many seats of
 learning
 We were not a little interested in
 reading recent article on Our Rhodes Scholars at Oxford and noting what | impression the air of ease had made on one American student. This young gen tleman observes: If q man seeks for
 mere book learning il would perhaps be
 wiser for him to go to Chicago, Paris or | Heidelberg-where he can have his
 wants served strictly la carte in mod
 ern sty1e-than to come to Oxford. What Oxford has to give a student Is of
 nature quite different from what any ] American, French or German university can offer And then the writer goes cIl ND ltll Us l0dl llle OAlDTd degree uOeS
 not mean that so many dusty tonnes have been digested, as that life of singular suggestiveness, charm and potency has
 been lived for at least three years" He mentions that not few of the American Rhodes scholars have found fault with conditions that allow a man
 to shirk If he has a mind that way and grants that the man may shirk for d reason, ,but sooner or later will have to make up for lost time-that is, if he de- sires to get degree of the sort to which any honor at all attaches
 The tutor system is considered a
 most excellent feature of Oxford life.
 A student beginning work of his final | school is assigned to a tutor who con-

CURE FOR RED NOSES.
Little Instrument Which Bricks the Skin in Thousands of
 Places.

Abnormal redness of he skin, espe- claliy Of the nose, is now treated sue cessfully by the use of an instrument. that bricks the skin in thousands of places. The pricking instrument. which has lately come into use in Ger many, is illustrated in the American Inventor. which also prints the follow Ing description of it's mode of action. contributed by the Berlin correspond ent of that journal. He says:
 The permanent redness of nose is due to pathologically enlarged booi vessels and can be produced by differ ent causes. IL may be said, however. that excessive drinking is far more sel- dom the cause of this anomaly than Is generally supposed In fact. the red ness is most commonly produced by aa extensive though very slight freezinC. resulting in morbid sensitiveness of the blood vessels as to variations lE temperature
 An efficient means Of remedying ab- normal redness consists in scarifying by scratching the extremities of the small veins concerned. This process is however, rather lengthy, and, more over, is liable to result in an even more serious disfiguring of the nose than the

DEMOCRATIC STAIt PRIMARIES
DAVIS IS THE WINNER.
Has e,ee8 Majority in the Contest fos United States Senator--LittIe Car
 ries 66 Counties for Governor.

While the result of the Democratic state primary election held March 2sth, will not be proclaimed offi. cially until the Democratic state convention meets in Hot Springs on June 6 next, reports have been re- ceiyed from all the counties in the state. and these show a majority of 9,99S for Governor Jeff Davis over Senator James II. Berry for the nom. ination for United States senator.
 In great part these figures are offi- cial. In instances where the official canvass has not been made. care has been taken to learn the result from sources considered reliable. When the vote Is cast up by the constituted authorities there Is no reason to be- lieve that the total will vary material. iy from the present available figures.
 In the Poinsett county case, where two primaries were held, the result in the one conducted under the auspices of the regular Democratic county committee Is included i'll the tabulated statement If the insurgent primary be recognized by the state convention the result in the state on the United States senatorship will not be affected.
 The total vote cast in the state will approximate close to 100000. One re- port Is that Governor Davis carried Greene county by 600, Logan by TOO, and that his majority in Calhoun will be more than 75. In case these re- ports are verified on official count the governors lead will thereby be in- creased. The vote on governor has not yet been tabulated. It will probably show that Judge Little has carried 66 counties, MT. Rogers seven, and Col. Sevier two.

 An electrometer is made to drive a concussor Gas used e. g. in filling teeth). The latter is provided with d stamp working in a vertical direction and to the centrifugal end of which | bundle of about 40 thin gilded platinum points has been attached. This stamp can be inserted and removed by near. of convenient key and Is disinfecte'l carefully before each treatment The nose can be anaesthetized by chlore- thyl spray, though most patients read fly endure the pricking treatment. This is made by producing a very full bleeding of the skin (cleaned carefully beforehand by vertical application of the needles kept on for some min utes. The bleeding is arrested instan taneously by compression.
 Six to eight sittings (one or two per week. are said to be sufficient in most cases to restore even the most abnor- nal nose permanently to it's normal color, without leaving any scar. by the sueprficial destruction of the excessive blood vessels.
 The rapidly-repeated pricking may be combined with the use of galvano- caustical or electrolytical needles. Der matologists have been using the device with marked degree ot success, and 1t may serve the purpose of eliminat- ing birthmarks and other bsemishes ot the skin ''

Little fos governor may get 66 out of 75 counties when all the returns are in. He will probably have fully 400 out of 512 delegates in the state convention.
 Other state results are as follows.
 Hon. x. o. Pindall, for attorney general may get 300 out of 512 dele gates.
 Guy B. Tucker will probably have more than 257 delegates on the frs. ballot for commissioner of mines manufactures and agriculture.
 No doubt attaches to the success of Hon. J. J. Doyne for state superintend- ent of public instruction.

Another cross-bar extends through the middle of the platform, and is attached to the cross bar in front and the curved bar at the back. Around the outer edge of the curved angle iron is an upright extension which serves as a guide for the barrel. The handle is made as bar the upper end curved and fashioned to be grasped by the operator. Only a single handle is em- ployed.

TRUCK FOR BARRELS.
Holds the Barrel in Perpendicular Position and Well-Bal-

Trucks of many different sizes and shapes have been devised for some special use, some having handles. while others simply travel on four wheels supporting a platform. To re- move barrels from one place to an other requires trucks constructed especially for that purpose. as very often the barrels must be kept in a perpendicular position and so balanced as not to allow the contents to fall

today II was decided to consider the

AS result of the provision in the

JeCtlon OF single member can pre-
vent another action on the bill other
than its reference to the House COM

the measure is wholly within the con-

is not thought there will be any effor,
to hinder the bilrs ,mmediat, sinh

out the agreement of the Republican
