University Fees Legal.

F. c. Calkins. member of the Board of
Regents of the State university, who was
appointed a committee to look into the le-
galty of the library and incidental fee
charged by the university to students, and
to make a report on the advisability of
selling textbooks at cost to the students,
made his report last night Mr.. Calkins
holds 1t is legal to charge the fee and he
objects strenuously to the regents going
into the book business. and he believes it
would not result in a saving to the stu
dents He says the buying of books should
be referred to the state legislature, and If
It is found to be good idea the legislature
should make an appropriation to pay for
the books.
In his report Mr.. Calkns mentions that
the normal schools rent books to the stu
dents and probably this would be better
than buying them.

GEESE FOR FARMERS.
Pure Bred Stock More Profitable
 Than Scrub Birds.

Ia these days of utility poultry it seems strange So many farmers still keep what may be called just geese" birds Of no particular breed that have descended for generations in the locality and for this reason only are respected, writes John Malcolm in American Agriculturi5t. It is high time to awake to the fact that such birds are less profitable than well bred stock. In proportion to the amount of food they consume they yield far less in meat and feathers. and both these are of poorer quality than in the case of well bred birds. Again. they gener- ally lay fewer eggs and consequently produce smaller hoeks of goslings and these are more difficult to bring to good marketable size and quality than pure stock. III short, there ts nc com mon sense reason for breeding from them when Il few dollars expended for some birds or for | sitting of eggs would lay the foundation of fur more profitable flock all expenditure that would he many times repaid tha first year the birds Fear goslings. per hans even before by the sale Of sur plus sanders
 The most popular breeds of geese are Toulouse, Embden and Chinese. The Toulouse is the largest. Birds often eX- ceed the standard weight of eighteen and twenty pounds for the young and old gaHder respectively and fifteen and eighteen pounds for the young and old geese. They are gray of various shades. lighter below than above abdomens white The females lay eighteen te tweatyfouf eggs while young. thirty b forty when old They are qHieter than most other breeds and are better suited than others t0 places where wa ter is scarce. Though most popular, this breed k not SD highly valued for market as some others.

In comparison with Toulouse they are inferior layers, but dress bet ACl Aoi lilfti hCl- Ill tIliS iCSpttt iItS tA- eel all other breeds.
 Standard weights of Chinese geese are ten and fourteen pounds for gan ders, young and old respectively, and eight and twelve pounds for geese They are of two varieties, brown and white. The brown are very feeund They lay forty to fifty eggs year. These are noted for their fertility This breed has the reputation of being hard to pluck and to make presentable in the market The white are some what smaller than the brown, but are superior to them as market birds. An objection is that, though the females are excellent layers. they often lay in fertile eggs Another breed kept more or less iS the African. Its standard weight k the same as the Toulouse The birds are gray. not as good layers as Toulouse, but better than Embden. An objection raised against them is that their dark pinfeathers. down and dark skin make dressing difficult, par ticularly with old birds, and the ap- pearanee is decidedly inferior to that of white breeds.

Kissing "Carmen."

One of the most popular operas of the present day, Carmen" underwent an unfortunate experience. but aehiey- ed success too late, alas. to console the disappointed composer, whose death was accelerated, it is said by the i'll reception accorded to his chef doeuvre. Carmen" was, in fact, actually hissed of the stage on its first performance in Paris in 1875, and poor Bizet died shortly after, unable to foresee the great success in store for his latest and best work, whose stirring music so admirably fits the thrilling Spanish llbretto it llustrates-Cornhill Maga- zine

In her earlier years at Concord she had been for a short time a pupil of Henry Thoreau and still earlier of her fathers Boston school Her other education came irregularly from her parents, from a temporary governess and sometimes from town schools. but she always missed the careful education that most of the Con cord girls had. either in public or in private schools

In it was the labyrinth which conceal ed the bower" made famous by the tragic fate of the fair Rosamond. A halo of romance and mystery hangs around this hiding place, but in reality labyrinths were by no means uncom- mon There is evidence of the exist ence of labyrinths in very early times. and they presumably suggested the maze of more modern date. The first labyrinths were winding paths cut i'll the ground, and the survival of them is still traeeable in several places in Eng land.

NEW COLLEGE STUDY.
Political Geography in Demand, Owing TO
World Events Of the Last Tive Years.

NOrlu ENents " aO -"
A new study has been added to the cur
riculum of certain American colleges. 1t
is known as political geography and is de-
fined as the study of geography in relation
70 political and social institutions.
10 teach economic subjects, as we'll as
other university branches a knowledge of
elementary geography is required. 1T
was found that many students. though
primed with Greek and Latin, lacked any
thing approaching familiarity with this
old fashioned study.
Hence the invention Of political geog-
raphy. The elementary side Is taken up
and in connection with this, emphasis is
laid upon an explanation of ho" each
country studied came to be a separate
distinct country; upon it's political in
situations and the geographic influences
hat have affected them, and upon the
present political problems of paramount
interest in connection with each OF the
countries studied.
The world events of the past two years
have greatly assisted in making the course
studying Great Britain. the Irish question
was agitating British politics; IN the study
of France, the great question OF separation
of Church and State came up for discus
sion: the interest Of the class IN Norway
and Sweden was enhanced by the ven
that have ied to the separation OF Norway
from Sweden; the Balkan question has been
at the forefront for a few months past and
for two wears the great Russo-Japanese
war has made the study OF Russia and
JaDan of espeCial interest.
