Used Him as Eraser,

The late DR.. Henry Martyr Field
come years ago related at a Williams
alumni dinner a rather amusing incl
dent of his freshman days at college.
Being only II years old when he
entered he had not reached the point
where the natural friction between the
big boy and the small boy ceases and
he was at particular feud with one of
mis- fellows, a stalwart country youth
fresh from the farm. One day young
Field went early TO the classroom and
put upon the big blackboard a very
eXasperating caricature of his en-.
envy, with his name beneath. When
the aggrieved party saw what had
been done he said not a word, but
catching up his youthful tormentor, he
used him as an eraser and after rub
bling ont the offensive picture quietly
took his seat.

Greek Emigration Increasing.

Information received by the govern.

dicateS that the emigration to America
is increasing. A committee of depu.
ties has been appointed to look into
the matter, and it is probable that
measures will be adopted to restrict
and limit emigration from Greece. It
is estimated that by the end of the
year the number of those who have
eXpatriated themselves will reach TO-.
900, Hitherto emigration has taken
place principally from the Peloponne-
sus, but it is now spreading to central
Greece, to Thessaly and the islands.
To the last call for conscripts for the

1t is now possible, thanks to a re-.

from the fiber of the cotton stalk It
is asserted that all grades of paper,
from the best form of linen to the
lowest grade. can be manufactured
from cotton stalks, In addition to
this, a variety of by-pSodncts, such as
alcohol, nitrogen. material for gun
cotton and smokeless powder, can be
secured in paying quantities. 1t is
estimated that on an area of land pro.
ducing bale of cotton at least one
ton of stalks can be gathered.
