HE MADE THE OPPORTUNITY
How Educator Succeeded in Desire
to Address Students.

A distinguished educator OF Boston,
who once visited a western college
during examination week, was, for
some reason or other, not asked TO
address the students. as he had ex-
pected he would be. In chapel he
was merely requested to lead in pray
er, which he did in this wise:
BE pleased, rather in Heaven, to
guide the steps of the president of
this college. Thou knowest that he
was a clasmate of Thy servant,
graduate of the class of 81, taking
high honors. Thine eye hath looked
with favor upon the happy choice that
resulted in his appointment, with the
consent of the trustees, as the head
of this institution. Thou knowest
that the students OF this college ought
to look upon him as friend as well
as their president. Thou knowest
that thy servant is well pleased with
the high standards of scholarship
here prevailing and with the right
eousacss and loyalty of the stu
dents"
Finally, to the intense delight OF
the students, the visitor concluded his
prayer as follows:
And l thank Thee for this oppor-
tunity to address the students Of this
college"

BUYING Diamonds.

In the tariff revision period OF 1896

were still upon us and the Dinqlev
law had not yet been passed. the inn

nine years OF Dinglcy tariff prosperi-

Dangerous Anti-Fat Treatment.

Fat girls who are inclined to drink
vinegar and eat pickles in the hope
pf reducing flesh may take warning
from the fate of Annie Gross, a %
Eear-old st. Louis woman. She was
stout and had been dieting to re-
heavy food and neighbors gave the
information that she had made a
practice of eating from a dozen to
two dozen sour pickles a day and
drinking from half a pint to a pint
of vinegar every "a hours. Sudden
death came to her Sunday evening
when she had lett party of her
friends to get drink of water. At
the autopsy physicians found the in
ner walls of the stomach almost com
pletely eaten away. The cause of
death was given as "hemorrhage Of
the stomach and acetic poisoning"
due to pickles and vinegar. 1t is
easy, says the Chicago Sun, to see
how such results would naturally
come more quickly TO a stomach that
was deprived of other classes OF food.
a similar condition has often been
found in the stomach of men who
were small eaters and habitual drink.
ers of large quantities of hard cider.
The stomach is not proper recepta-

Wages and the Tariff.

In a speech in Congress the other
day Hon. John Sharp Williams re-
viewed the coming of immigrants to
this country, the swelling stream
ever since colonial days. He said
they came to better their condition;
that there was falling off in panic
years, but that the rule was steady
inflow. He gave as one reason the
high wages paid in this country and
said:
There never was a period from
the time the pilgrims landed on Ply
mouth Rock up to the adoption of
the Constitution of the United States
when wages for the blacksmith, the
carpenter, for skilled artisan and the
unskilled labor in the field, were not
about double what they were in
Great Britain. No Tariff, high Tar
iff-all sorts of Tariff-it made no
difference what the Tariff on our
statue books was, they came.
That is very reckless talk for a
leader in Congress. Can Mr.. Will
liams explain why there was always
a falling off in immigration when
Free-Trade was the rule in our
country?
Without celebrating or going
back beyond the memories of mid
dle-aged men, it is enough to say
that in 1898, 1894 and 1895 skilled
laborers' wages fell 40 per cent.
common laborers' wages fell 30 per
cent, and thousands and tens of
thousands and hundreds of thousands
of laborers, skilled and unskilled,
were unable to find employment on
any terms. This may not have ap-
piled to Mississippi, but it did apply
to the entire Northeast, North and
West.

if were struck down to-day million
