COLLEGE Students as Thinkers.

College Students as MIXERS
It is important for college teachers
to promote the pursuit on the part OF
their students of such subjects as in
their inherent character demand think
ing, and also to p<pmote such a pur-
suit of these subjects as does promote
thinking. Mathematics is a subject
which demands thinking. It is think
ing; it is nothing else. History may
be presented as matter of acquisi.
ton; it also may be presented as a
matter of weighing evidence as a
study of cause and effect. Economics
is a subject which specially offers op.
portunities for such study as develops
thinking. Its phenomena are complex
and the causes which prevail in its
field are often obscure. These studies
and similar ones offer a special ad.
vantage in creating and nourishing the
power of thinking.-North American
Review.

Good Wine from Bad Grapes.


Good Wine from Bad Grapes.
The secret Of the rare bouquet" OF
Moselle wines has been disclosed BY
Prof. Marshall Ward, says the London
Daily Mail. ,sf
"Moldy grapes assertedMthe pro-
lessor, produce far finer wine than
freshly gathered fruit. Moselle wines
come from grapes which are in a
simply awful condition. The grapes
grown in the Moselle districts are not
subjected to sufficient heat5tofi them

attacked by what is known3sas noble

sugar behind. fi ''@

MAMMA FALLS FROM SKY.
The Miracles of Old Reenacted in
7urkeStan.

More than 20 tons of real mama
have just fallen from the skies in
Turkestan, to the superstitious awe
of the natives.
The mama fell in district almost
bare of trees, and it was eagerly col
1ected by the poverty stricken viii
layers, who ground it into flour and
made cakes of it.
Ignorant of it's natural origin, they
regarded it as a gift from heaven.
AS a matter of fact, mama is the
result of the burrowing of a certain
worm in trees. It is regular article
of commerce in the east, the mama
ash tree being cultivated in Sicily.
But the mama that has just created
so profound an impression in Turkes-
tan is not quite the same.
A high authority on Biblical natural
history states that it is the work of
worm that only produces this SUBJ
stance under certain climatic condi-
tons, which obtain only about once
in every Is years or SO.
These worm casts, when dry, are
very light, and in the present case
they were probably caught up by a
whirlwind and carried away to great
distance.
The falling of a dense shower of
these edible casts would naturally be
regarded by the natives as a wonder.
It is possible that the Israelites ex.
perienced this while wandering in the
desert, and although the cause was
perfectly natural, to them it was in
effect a direct interposition of provi.
dence in their behalf.
The word "manna" means in He.
q brew IT know not" In Turkestan the
-. word has similar meaning.
In Australia mama is obtained from
a eucalyptus tree. It was formerly
used incidentally in children's all
ments. a.

SIMPLE GREENeAck SALAD.
Buying 100000 Apartment, House
Small Matter to Hotel Chef.

Catering to the gastronomic fancies
of New York city is certainly q
profitable employment, If the records
of the real estate exchange are to
be believed, says the New York Her
aid. According to them, Gustave
Becker, chef Of the Holland house,
purchased recently from the Ger
mania Life Insurance company two
elevator apartment houses at 306 and
30S West Ninety.fourth street. Mr..
Becker paid 100000 for the prop
erty.
When asked to talk about himself
and tell how he accumulated SO much
money while devising dishes with
which to tickle the palates of patrons
of the hotel, Mr.. Becker took refuge
behind modest reserve which could
not be broken down.
1T is such small matter this
buying of house or two," he said.
why should I speak of it? 1t is not
as If had never before bought prop
erty. Part of this hotel is mine, and
then I own the house in which
live.
$50 many can make money, that it
is no great credit for a cook to do
the same. Other chefs have accumu-
lated fortunes and there has not been
SO much talk about it. It is enough
that 1 have been fortunate and can
purchase bit of land and houses
when see bargain
1t was learned that Mr.. Becker for
some time has had a considerable in
terest in the hotel where he is en-
ployed. The chefs ability to find bar
gains in real estate is not unknown
to Dealers. and it is said he knows
as much about profitable location as
he does about the last delectable
sauce piquant.
Mr.. Becker admitted with show
of nonchalance that he owns the fine
apartment house at 204 West Ninety
fourth street, where he has lived for
a long time. He seemed surprised
that it should be considered unusual
for chef to own home in fine
residential district.

that the phenomenon can be entirely
accounted for by the generally re.
ceived view of the chromatic disper-
sion Of the atmosphere combined with
selective absorption. 1t is not neces-
sary to make elaborate experiments
or to go on sea voyage in order to
observe the green ray. BY fixing q
screen and covering the focal plate
of a telescope, or better still, a dia-
phragm with narrow diametral slit,
a green or blue flash can be seen at

the sun is near the horizon and the
observation can be repeated as Often

Pet Theory.

Perhaps there never was a man who
so thoroughly believed in taking things
coolly as Mr.. Bulteel. The disadvan-

rush, no matter what circumstance
might arise, was the never failing text
upon which he hung many and many

pure-hearted, brave, simple, honest
man, whose patriotism was the inspira-
ton and handspring of his life, he
is mourned to-day. not alone by his
own country, which owes its life as
a nation to him. but by the sister re-
publics of South America, for whose
liberty and welfare he was ever ready
to sacrifice his fortune, his ambitions,
and life itself.
He was a historian, and his histories
Of San Martin and Belgrano are every
where admitted to be true monuments
of his erudition and distinguished lit
erary ability. He was a poet, and a
translator from English, French and
Italian. Dantes Inferno" and Victor
Hugo's "Ruy Bias" being among his
most famous TRANSACTIONS His trans
lation of "Gray's 'Elegy" and Long
fellows Psalm of Life" are among his
finest translations of shorter poems
From an early period of his life,
Gen. Mitre had the distinction OF be-
ing elected a member of the leading
literary and scientific institutions of
the world. These included the Geo
logical Society of Berlin, the Scan
dinavian Royal Antiquarian society,
the Historical Institute of france, the
Royal Academy of Science and Art of
Spain, the Academy of Sciences OF

high honor of the "Insigne Artistica

many similar societies in Europe and
the South American republic. There

the literary works of Gen. Mitre, nor

THE INDIAN PRODICAL.
He, Instead of the Fatted Calf, Was

Solomon Homer, the brilliant Choctaw
Indian, said at his home in Caddo that
he needed to be very intelligent and
Industrious Indian who would go out
into the world and make a name, relates
the Kansas City Journal.
MANY Indians" he said, "go out into
the world and some of them, of course,
succeed. Those who fail return home;
and that is a sad returning, for every one
sneers at the young man whom the world
has conquered and driven back.
There was Black Eagle, a Choctaw.
He went to Chicago, failed and came
back home. But he was afraid to go to
his fathers house till an old man said:
Are you going to your fathers,
Black Eagle?'
"T don't know answered the youth.
"'Go there said the old man, for you
will be very welcome. There is no doubt
of it.
"Heartened a little, Black Eagle did
go to his fathers, and the next day he
met the old man again.
"The old man smiled kindly.
so the prodigal returned he said.
And did your father kill the fatted
calf?'
NO Black Eagle answered, he didn't
kill the fatted calf, but he nearly killed
the prodigal.'

"The effect of opening the Suez ca

it introduced into the business world
that it constituted one of the prime
causes of the universal commercial

by transferring the distributing
points for trade from England to the
Mediterranean ports of southern Eu-
