AT COLLEGE ExAMINA.
 TONS

Cribbing is growing to be a source
 or worry to college professors when ever the examinations draw near. Yale recently expelled one of her best oars
 men who was caught employing this ihethod Of obtaining high marks with out study and she may be depended upon to keep up the good work.
 There are almost as many ways of
 cribbing" as there are "Cribbers." One
 Of the most elaborate and widely used IS known as the double roll If con Slsts or d long narrow strip of paper. which Is rolled from both ends. | Luhd or information that may be use tuI in examinations can be slowed away on this strip. The student must Know just where each item is to be round and must practice manipulat
 Ing It until he can use it with one hani some of the most elaborate cribs of lhls sort cost hours of hard labor. al- most as manT as would be necessary to cram" on the subject and pass the examination honestly.
 When examination questions can be obtained before the examination. and this happens more often than the col lege professors have any idea of, the common method is to write out a pa per before entering the examination room and substitute it for that on which one has been working. Students take great care not to have these pre- viously prepared paper too per feet and as a rule they are only detected when caught in the act of substitution. There are various ways of getting lists of questions before the examination. Employees in the college printing offices are often dishonest and make practice of selling questions. Sometimes, where the classes are large, the examinations are held in sections. Some one in the first section will toss list of questions out of the window to a waiting member of the second section. This happened a few years ago at Cornell, and the papers of an entire section were refused by the examinating officer, who ordered another examination.
 The old high school practice of bringing textbooks to the building in which the examination is being held, and hiding them in the washroom, is also practiced to some extent in the colleges. The student gets permission to leave the room on one pretext or another and looks up points on which he is in doubt.
 The meanest of all 'cribbers" is the far-sighted individual who looks over his neighbours paper. Students have actually been known to purchase sRe- cial glasses for examinations which would enable them to read papers which were being written at some dis tance from them. There are many keen students who would not think of cheating in examinations themselves, .. but who think nothing of allowing1 some less well-posted student to look eh I.r Fa ulty effort has been directed against this practice, and there is a growing tendency to hold the man who gives assistance in this manner equally gull ty with the man who accepts it.-New York Tribune.

Is Disease a Crime '?

Not very long ago, popular magazine published an editorial article in which the writer asserted, in substance, that all disease should be regarded as criminal Certain 1t is, that much of the sickness and suffering of mankind is due to the violation of certain of Natures laws But to say that all sickness should ba regarded as criminal, must appeal to every reasonable individual as radically wrong.
 It would be harsh, unsympathetie, cruel, yes criminal, to condemn the poor, weak, over worked housewife who sinks under the heavy load of household cares and burdens, and suffers from weak neSSes, various displacementS of pelvic organs and other Arrangements peculiar to her sex.

A MYSTERY OF HUMoR.

When on the pave you chance to fall, With utter lack of grace, And turn your ankle as you sprawl, And, maybe. bruise your face, When angry tears spring to your eye And you are mad as sin. Oh, why does every passerby Behold you with a grin? When foolish wagers you have paid With natural regret, When resolutions boldly made All weakly you forget, When plans go vrong, and you are
 broke,
 When you had hoped to win In pity's name, where is the joke And why do people grin?

VISITORS AT GENEVA.

The official statistics show that 177.- OS5 strangers stopped at the hotels and boarding houses of Geneva be- tween May 15 and October. 1905. Of these 6S,513 were French, 35,1I4 were Swiss, 26,569 were Germans, 14.177 were from the United States and 9,61S were Englishmen. This does not in clude all of the tourists who visited Switzerland, but only those who stopped at Geneva
 During the same time 1O,1O3 tourists visited the Yosemite Valley and 261S8 the Yellowstone Park. The latter num- Der IS double the highest previous rec ord and was the result of low fares and large excursions to the Portland expo- slt1on. In 1904, which mad the highest record up to that date, there were only a few more than I3OOO visitors to the Yellowstone and about 5000 to the To- semlte. The number of Americans in Switzerland is always more than double and sometimes four or five times as great as may be found in any year at any of our own summer re- sorts. They are more numerous than the English and are almost as nuner- ouS as the Germans and French who nave only to cross the border with one days or one nights ride In the ngures l have given of the visitors at Geneva, the Americans are all tourists persons of leisure seeking health and recreation and spending their money freely. The German, French and Eng fish figures include large numbers of commercial travellers and others who went to Geneva on business-W. E. Curtis in Chicago Record Herald.

a phonocard has been invented by
a German. which is finding much
favor abroad. but has not yet found
its way to this country. A descrip-
ton OF the novelty is as follows:
For producing the photographic
postal card an apparatus is used
which records the human voice upon
a piece of pasteboard of the form of
the card, which, it is claimed, has
many advantages over writing, as it
cannot be deciphered except by a re-
producing machine. The recording
of the human voice is done by an or
dinary phonograph of simple con-
struction, by means of a pencil with
a sapphire point. This pencil makes
its impression upon suitable sub
stance called "sonorine" spread upon
the surface of the card. The sonor-
inc, which can be easily spread over
pasteboard poss esses all the proper
ties of a wax cylinder. and is in
reality the invention. The signs are
impressed in the form of spiral.
beginning at the margin of the card
and ending in a very small circle,
and are impressed so deeply that the
stamping by the postal authorities
can only destray two or three words

eighty words.-N. Y. Times.

New York Mecca For Criminals.

There are 1000 professional crimi-
Cals at large in New York City today,
according to police estimates. They
include bank robbers, burglars, fiat
thieves, commercial swindlers, conf"
dence men, pickpockets and shoplift-
ers. A large percentage are eX-con-
victs whose pictures are in the
Rogues' Gallery, and who are known
personally to the detectives of the
Central Office. AS many as one hun
dred of these professionals have been
picked up on the streets as "suspic-
ious persons in a single night by In
spector Mclaughlin detectives only
to be set at liberty in the morning
to pursue their criminal vocations.
In other States, notably in Massachu-
setts and New Jersey, they have law
under which known criminals unable
to give an account of themselves may
be sentenced to short terms of i'm
prisonment as vagrants. The law
works so well that many Massachu-
setts and New Jersey crooks have de-
serted their home and come to New
York to live.-N Y. World.

Hen And Horsc Companions.

Henry Ransome, a farmer living
near here, has a leghorn hen year
and half old, which is never happy
unless IL Is near a horse he uses for
general farm work. The attachment
is mutual and strong. and where you
find one you are pretty sure to find
the other.
A year ago last spring biddy
made nest in Dobbin's manger and
refused TO get out AS the horse
offered no objections, Mr.. Ransome
left the hen undisturbed, and in due
time she Matched out a fine flock of
chicks II was one Of this flock that
took a shine to Dobbin. At first the
horse didn't pay much attention to
the little one, but after time, as he
seemed to miss 1t when it was shut
up in the hen house, IT was given the
run of the barn.
When Dobbin went into the field
to work the chicken followed, always
keeping in sight of the horse, and
when the work was done it returned
and roasted on the heaistill. This
kept up for many weeks. and all the
time the attachment grew stronger.
Finally, one day Mr.. Ransome's road
mare went lame. and he drove old
Dobbin to the village. Before start
| ing he shut up the hen, but she
| managed to get loose and start in
pursuit. Helped by her wings, she
made fast time, and when Mr.. Ran
some was about a mile from home
he found her trailing at the wheel.
Since then she had accompanied Dob
| bin on the road as well as in the
| flelds.-N. Y. World.
