Origin OF Profanity.

One proposition there is which
needs to be stated emphaiically al
this point. Words and phrases
which are amply sufficient for The
undertaking are often altogether
inadequate for the expression OF
the feelings. The result of this
mental dissatisfaction with the
communication Of mere knowledge
is most conspieuoasly illustrated
in the wide prevalence of profanity.
Into the discussion of this praiice
its moral and religions aspect does
not enter at all. 1t is purely from
the linguistic side that it is here to
be considered. So locked at, its
exisiance and the extent OF the in
diligence in it bear ont the truth
of the principle just announced.
Whatever intellectual justification
there may be for PROFANITY is bas
ed upon the fact that men are aim
ing to state strongly what they
feel strongly. The habit is, in
consequence, subject to the general
law governing intensive. To a
very great extent the practice of
swearing is specially characteristic
of a rude and imperfect civlliza'
ton. With The advance of culture
profanity declines. 1t declines
not SO much because men become
peculiarly sensitive to its vicious
ness, but they do to its Ineffective
Dess. The growth of refinement
both in the individual and in the
community tends more to its disuse
than all the exhortations of moral
lists or the rebuke Of ddvines. Much
must always be allowed in the case
Of particular persons for the in-
fluence Of early association and
training. Exceptions are there
fore, too numerous to lay down
any positive rule; still it is safe to
say in general that a mans intel
lectual Development is largely de-
ternined by the extent of his in
diligence in profanity. No one,
indeed. doubts its wide prevalence
at the present time. But compar-
ed to the practice of the past, it
has been steadily, even if slowly.
diminishing for centuries. This
does not prove that men are better
morally or intellectually than they
were. 1t does show, however;
that there exists now a higher
average of cultivation, which rem
ders the habit distasteful to in
creasingly large numbers.-Pro-
fessor L. E. Lounsbury in Har-
per's Weekly.

Education costs a great deal, but
ignorance costs more, aud having
been a rural school director fer many
years and in the position to note what
a time the patrons OF the school have
had in obtaining textbooks for their
children under the State textbook
laws. It occurs to me that with all
the changes the books have under
gone they should BY this time be al
most perfect and should not be inter
fered with for a reasonable period Of
years. Now, il, as I have said, the
books adopted under the Law now ir
force may be regarded as pearIy per
feet. will some one tell me why the
State carnot have them made in the
penitentiary and distributed to the
children at the actual cost Of produe
tion. Whatever revision is m ade IL

strikes US that Bryan's ideas out

CHANGE IN GRADUATES DINNER.
"cIass of 1402" VIII Meet in Dining
 Hall--Glee Club Graduates win Sing.

It was intended to have the ''1492" dinner given this year in Alumni hall on the main campus and not in the University Dining hall as heretofore. The committee has arranged for this change mainly because of the poor acoustics of the dining hall; it was ab- solutely necessary that the diners should be able to hear, as we'll as eat. But there were many difficulties in con- nection with the servise in Alumni hall and after a number of conferences with the university authorities, it has been decided to abandon Alumni hall and hold the dinner in the Dining hall Tickets issued for Alumni hall will be good for the Dining hall but all sent out in future will specify the new To- cation.
 It Is proposed to hold the dinner in the west end of the Dining hall and the committee, in conjunction with Treasurer McCiung of the university, are about to make some experiments in partitioning off portion of the hall so that the acoustics shall be as per- feet as they can be made. There is no question as to the desirability of the Dining hall: 1t is spacious, cool and especially adapted to service and if a false ceiling or some other acoustic de- vice can be arranged, the songs, mu- sic and Yale spirit can all be enjoyed to the utmost. The committee are very sanguine that the objections to the hall can be eliminated and that everyone who attends will see and hear every thing and everybody.

 Pennsylvania magnificent $1S0OO,OOO capitol in Harrisburg has been insur- ed for $4,OOO,OOO, the amount of the original appropriation for the comple- ton of the building. No thought has apparently been given to the nine mill lions of trimmings and decorations fur nished by John IT. Sanderson and the Pennsylvania Construction company, and the board of public grounds and buildings, which awarded the insur- ance, in its wisdom has considered the figure named by the Legislature sufii- cient to cover any loss which might be Incurred through a fire. The insurance has been split up by the board, 3D. O0O 900 going to two Philadelphia brok- craze houses and $2,O00,0OO to Har- risburg firms.
