COLLEGE
AT SALEM
THE kIMBAlL SCHOOL FACULTY
fully Equipped Theological School Al

Work TO Members Of the lecturlng
Force

The Kimball College of Theology
of Willamette University began its.
second years work during the pres
ent week. The enrolment of stu
dents has already far exceeded that
of last year, and several other stu
dents will register during the next
two weeks. Owing to the recent ses
sion of the Oregon conference, sew
eral students are obliged to move
their families to new charges, and
are thus late in reaching the school.
The faculty list remains the same
as last year, with the exception that
the name of Prof. Edwin Sherwood,
A. NJ, b. D., is added in the depart
ment Of New Testament and Greek.
Prof. w. z. Kirk will also OFFER
courses in the English Bibld. For
the present year Dean Kimball of
fers a new cource in psychology and
Prof. Washburn new courses in
Hermenentics and Bible History.
The work of Prof. Sherwood in the
Greek department gives promise of
being a valuable feature OF the
school.
Beginning with the new year the
college maintains separate chapel
services. These are held daily at 4
o'clock.
A series OF lectures by representa-
tive clergymen and educators will
be given during the year. Among
those who are expected to address
the students in the near future are
Bishop d. II. Moore. Portland; DR..
J. Whitcom Brougher and C. II.
Dyott. of Portland, and President L.
w. Riley, of McMinnville college.
During the summer some Inn
provements have been made to the
college buildings, the recitation
rooms having been made unusually
inviting In their appearance.
At the recent session of the Ore
gon conference in Portland about
$4,000 was subscribed as the be-
ginning of an endowment fund for
the college. II is expected that this
sum will be greatly increased dur
Ing the present year.
With an efficient faculty, a loyal
student body and growing constit-
uency, the future OF the college OF
theology is very bright.
The faculty OF the college con-
sists OF Rev. J. II. Coleman, d. d,
president and lecturer on Theism;
Rev. ID. II. Kimball, ID. ID. LII. d.,
dean, Systematic and Practical The |

II is not generally known that,
besides the school of arts and sci

SPLENDOR OF SlENA.
An Italian City That Continues To Be
 Old and Restful.

The modern spirit has spoiled Rome and is daily destroying there writes Arthur Symons in Scribners. It is more slowly, but not less certainly, destroying Venice with a literal, calculated destruction. Florence has let in the English, who board there, and a new spirit. not de- structive, reverent of past things, but superficial with new civilization, has mingled the renaissance with the com monplace of the modern world.
 But Sena is content to remain itself, neither ambitious nor dejected. busying itself with it's old industries tthe smell of the tanneries. as in the days of St. Cath crime, never out of its streets) keeping its beautiful old things quietly, not trying to make new things like them: content with the old limits and with all old things as they were.
 And the splendor and dignity of its past still live nobly in all the walls of Sena. Its history is written there in stone and with lasting beauty on the walls of all it's palaces. Palaces line the streets. Gothic and renaissance, all fiat, severe. built with gray stone cut into square

blocks with here and there a reminis- cence of the less simple and admirable
 Florentne manner of building with partly
 unhewn blocks.
 The palaces join walls with private
 houses and ask for no more space in
 these equalizing streets, to which they
 add force and beauty. They accommo- , date themselves to fhe street and turn
 with it in d kind of democracy of pride.
 Towers, structures like prisons, gloomy
 remnants, which stand at street corners
 or between shop and shop, come into the
 pattern naturally. without incongrulty.
 All Siena is of one piece, and at night
 sleeps together with the same tranquil sleen.
 There is in the streets at night cu- rious sense of quiet, not the quiet of sus-
 pense or desolaton, but rather of people who prefer to stay indoors in their own homes, with walls and windows between them and other people, in a quiet friendly aloofness. The streets do not call to
 them as they call to people in the south. They are corridors to walk through, not alleys to finger in, and the Sienese are not lingerers. Even by day few people stand idle in the streets. The church square on it's height is no meeting place Siena works quietly by day and at night sleeps quietly

Bath Room Essential.

In the bath room. next to having plen- ty of hot and cold water and a good quality of pure toilet soap-preferably misunderstanding is more essential than towels. The kind depends largely upon the individuals using them and their de- sire for a soft or friction" rub. To the average person soft white Turkish towel that quickly absorbs the water and dries the flesh easily is desirable in the summer time, though some prefer the stiff Irish linen towelings that make a splendid glow when the skin is rubbed vigorously.
 Wash cloths are still considered essen- tial by some persons, though bath mitts have taken their places in many house. holds. Like the towels, they may be of the soft Turkish variety of silk, that is also soft to the touch, or of a stiff qual- ity of linen that creates a friction. Then there are several porous qualities much favored because they are soft.
 In selecting brushes for bath room use care should be taken to buy those with light colored bristles that are stiff, for the efficacy of a brush depends upon It's being wiry enough to invigorate the flesh. Black bristles should be avoided because they are only wood fibred, which lack elasticity of brstles and are no gooc for the skin, and incidentally wear out sooner.
 Though rubber sponges are used ir many families with comparatively goot results, they are not as serviceable noi as satisfactory as the old sponges witt which every one is familiar. Once rubber sponge collects dirt, as they al do when constantly used, it is impossibl, to clean them.
 When the regulation salt watei sponges need cleaning the best plan |, cut the dirt is to soak them in vinegar for several hours and then run cleal warm water through them until the acit is all out. They should then be hung sir the sunshine where they will air and dry After each bath a sponge should b, washed out with clean hot water ant soap. and rinsed with cold water, ther put in place where the air and sunshin, surround it. for unless sponges are wei aired they become sour and disagreeabl, to use.

fall over an artistic representation of one or another feature in the sad, sad pa geant of mans miseres?"
 The problem is all the more difficult because it is by no means every one who enjoys a good cry or who even feels lh- clined to cry at all over the pathetic or the tragic in poetry. fiction or the drama. For one l dislike the art which trles 10 draw tear down my iron cheeks, and dislike it in proportion to the arllst ex- hibition of his purpose. It seems prob able that this distaste for the consciously pathetic if not for the tragic, Is modern phase and is increasing. One could endure and even to some extent enjoy the artistic stimulation of tears in early boyhood, put not later. For long one has been a shamefaced partisan of the aesthetic or Charles II. Tn my reign, said the RlnS,

Home Manlcurinq.

F.. B. R.-The home manicure should devote 15 minutes one day a week to her nails. This will keep them in good con dition. On this day she slightly files them, pinches the tops of the fingers to make them pointed, whitens the nails and shapes them. They will look nice for whole week
 Of course she must pay a little attention to them every day. She must soak them in warm water and massage them from the tip to the base, so as to push the flesh down. And she will give them a dash of liquid polish and, perhaps, some other trifling attention.
 It well pays a woman to learn how to be her own manicure, for not only does she save several dollars a month, but she becomes independent of her surroundings. She can go away and still be sure that her hands will be properly treated.

Neck Development.

c. c. C.-Here is another exercise that will help fill in hollows:
 Lay the head in the palm of the hand at the temple. then move the head slow ly toward the shoulder, resisting the movement with the force of the hand Come back to the erect position of the head in the same way, resisting the press- ure of the hand by the head. Repeat this exercise to the left.
 Clasp hands back of the head, and carry the head back, resisting with the hands Take chin In hands and repeat the ex- ercse in the opposite direction.
 Then move your head with a rotary mo- ton, letting 1t come well down on the chest and far back on the shoulders. Persist in these few exercises every day and you should soon have a pretty, plump neck.
 Deep breathing and swinging the arms as far back as they will go should help to increase the size of your bust.
 Live in the open air as much as possi- ble. get plenty of sleep and drink milk, and you should soon have no need of an artificial developer

A Graceful Fiuure,

A poor figure can be made graceful; the secret is q splendid, soldierly carriage Large hips are not desirable. If you will learn to hold the head erect in a straight line with the spine, if you will keep the chest uplifted the hips back. the abdo- men held in-in fact, if you will adapt yourself to a modified kangaroo walk'- you will be surprised to find how much your figure will change for the better. A good corset, made especially to fit you, will be a tremendous aid. A corset should fit snugly about the hips, with such lines that hold the abdomen in place and send the hips back. The waist must be large and ample, and the corset must fit tightly only about the hips. The well-fitting cor set is the cause of most good figures Walking will enlarge the hips.

Half a Dozen Brief Renlles.

E. F. CA good cooling powder for perspirng feet is composed of four parts talcum powder and one part boracic acid thoroughly mixed.
 G. GA paste made of an ounce of pure 1anoline and as much peroxide as the melted fat will absorb. Is excellent for re- moving obstinate freclxles.
 Grace.-Working with the head bent over is very injurious to the eyes, as it tends to gorge the vessels of the eyes with blood and to produce congestion.
 M E. C.-The constant use of toilet pumice with a lather of toilet soap will keep the growth of superfluous hair in- visible, but 1t will not permanently re- move it.
 F. O.-Some sufferers from insomnia have found cold water to be very helpful in producing sleep. Wet a cloth in cold water and apply to the back of the head and neck.
 Beatrice.-When bathing the eyes add a little salt to the water-a teaspoonful of table salt to a pint of water is about right. The salted water will not smart like the unsalted water when it gets into the eyes.

TEARS, IDLE TEARS.
Andrew Lang on the Art Which Would
 Bedew His Iron Cheeks.

From the London Post.
 Some years ago an artist in Punch designed scene in the gallery of a the atre. A girl is moved to a passion of tears by the play. Her sister says: Leave off crying; they are only acting" and the emotional maiden sobs out: Let me alone! Can't you see that I am enjoying myself?" No doubt sne was thoroughly enjoying herself, and the question is, Why? What is it in q narrowing scene that at once extorts the tear of woe and inspires the scene of pleasure?
 No problem on the frontiers of psy- chology, metaphysics and aethetics Is more puzzling. Between Aristotle and Mrs. Barbaul Q743-lS25) libraries must have been written on the subject, and vet we do not seem much the wiser. Why does person enjoy weeping like water

Milk Baths.

Mrs. R. R. McC.-A milk bath is by no means a new idea for many of the cele- brated beauties of bygone ages preserv- ed their complexions by the use of milk; but there are new ways of doing old things, and from Paris comes the decree that certain preparations must be made if the bath Is to be properly beneficial
 First, the face and neck must be thor oughly cleaned with raw cotton dipped in- to a mixture of olive oil and cognac or olive oil and cologne, then wiped perfectly dry with a soft towel. Next the milk is applied and allowed to dry on the face, and this must be followed by gentle rubbing with slices of raw tomato or cu- cumber.
 In addition to the external application of milk. women who are very enthusiasts tic over the treatment drink several glasses. of 1t a day. They eat sparingly of meat avoid cake and wine altogether, take plenty of salad and drink a glass of hot water on going to bed at night and another on getting up in the morning.

Scalp Massage.

A course in massage and good hair tonc with frequent shampooings, ought to make your hair of uniform color, as it will make it healthy. If you cannot af- ford a course of head massage by spe- cialist, give yourself half-hour treatments every night. Press the fingers well into the scalp on each side of the temples and go all over the head in a series of wheel like movements. Just before completing the massage apply the following quinine tonic: Sulphate of quinine, one dram; rose water three ounces; dilute sulphuric acid, 10 minims; rectlfled spirits two ounces; essence royal or musk, five or six minlms. Agitate until solution is com- plete

Keeping the Hair Liqht.

Blonde.-My hair Is light but is growing darker. Is there some shampoo l can use that will keep it light?
 When shampooing the hair, add three spoonfuls peroxide of hydrogen to the last rnsing water Borax and soda brighten light golden hair, but as they are extremely drying they should be used with the utmost caution. One has to remem- Der that what will agree nicely with one glory halo will not do for another, so the experimenting must be slow. The hair is most sympathetically affected by the general health, and in many cases 1t serves as an accurate barometer of the physical and mental condition. This is not surprising when we know how de- pendent it's marvellous organization is up- on the absolutely healthy circulation of the scalp and the tone of its nerves. All nervous tension and anything that in- terferes with the circulation of the blood checks the nutrition of the hair roots,

Homemade Massage Cream.

Mary R.-The following formula will be what you want, as it is good massage cream and does not produce hair or darken the skin as does the olive oil after using for some time: Take l ounce each of white wax and sperma- cetti and A pint oil of almonds; melt pour into a mortar which has been heat ed by being immersed in boiling water; gradually add three ounces of rose water and one ounce of witch hazel, stirring the mixture until an emulsion is formed, and afterward until 1t is nearly cold

Cure of the Hair.

B. R. O.-The hair, to look well, must receive a maximum of attention. and the fact is too often ignored that the neces- sary time spent on this important matter of the toilette Is never thrown away as far as looks are concerned, the present fashions making more stringent demands than ever on the amateur hairdresser.
