The Home-Spun Fair.

! Skill is the power of the hand
guided by an intelligent mind. The
beauty of the coverlids which our
mountain friends make tell OF an
intelligence which planned the pat
tern and then guided the hand to
reproduce it in the loom. The we'll
made axe-handle is the expression
of a master mind directing the will
ling hand.
Berea College believes in practi-
cal education-thee education which
not only gives knowledge but
teaoh hes how to use il.
There are many Preside indus
tries that are expressions OF just
this kind OF practical intelligence,
and Berea College wishes to en-
courage all such industries and for
several years has conducted a
Home-Spun Fair on Commence
ment day and has given premiums
for the best and second-best OF
each exhibit.
The premium-list has been re-
vised this year and we hope our
friends will carefully read il and
the rules governing exhibits, and
will plan to enter one or more
articles. Here is an opportunity
to take premium and also to make
a sale of the article, If you so
desire.
We are offering a premium OF

for a good sum. We can hear the

Mr.. Andrew Carnegie, who is Civ
ing the magnificent new Library
Building to Berea, has set aside a
large sum of money to be used by
trustees in paying certain pensions tc
college professors who have retired
from active teaching.
These trustees have decided that
they will include in their list Of col.
leges only those Which meet certain
requirements, and these requirements
are such as to shut out all the colleges
of this state with one possible excep-
ton. Berea meets all other require
ments, but is cut out because its pro
fessors give instruction in the Acad-
envy and Normal Department rs we'll
as in the College itself.

As result Of the sympathy shown
for and the assistance rendered to
the sufferers from the effects Of the
eruption Of Vesuyius by the King
and Queen Of Italy, there is a much
better state of feeling toward the
government in southern Italy than
has ever been before. Il is hoped
that this bringing the King in close
contact with the poverty Of the south
will result in something being done
to ameliorate the condition Of the
people of that section Of Italy.

would be paid on fire loss which was
caused by a FIRE started by an earth
quake in some other structure.

OF such restrictions being placed In con-

as well as expect Losses indirectly due to

ranged from that 10 40 per cent.
