Irksome for Both Parties,

A long friendship and a short en-
gagement is, perhaps, the best COM
bination. A prolonged engagement is
the most trying relationship between
the sexes possible to conceive. For
the woman it means the drawbacks of
matrimony without the charm of rest
full finality, or any of matrimony's
solid worldly advantages, On the
mans side it means the irksomeness
Of the marriage yoke without any Of
It's sa~tisfactions and comforts.-The
Grand Magazine.

Boarding House Geometry.

From Harper'S Weekly. a
 "A scientific friend of mine has drawn up boarding house geometry that strikes me as being noteworthy" says a youth with third-story front"
 Some of his definitions run as fol- lows:
 T. All boarding houses are the same boarding houses.
 "2. Boarders in the same boarding house and on the same floor are equal to ohe another in the matter of price, but not in the matter of outlook.
 "3. A single room is that which has no parts and no ma gnitude.
 A. The landlady of boarding house is a para11elogram--an oblong, angular figure which cannot be described, but is equal to anything.
 "5 All the other rooms being taken, a single room Is said to be a double room.
 Among postulates and propositions the following are worthy of consider ation:
 T. A pie may be produced any num- Der of times.
 "2. The landlady may be reduced to her lowest terms by series of propo- sitions.
 "S. A bee-line may be made from one boarding house to another.
 A. The clothing of boarding house bed although extended indefinitely in both directions, will never meet.
 "5. Any two meals at boarding house are together less than one square meal"

The Harvard House.

John Harvard, the founder of the great university named after him, and after whom the Elizabethan house at Strat- ford-on-Avon is named forms-as did his great contemporary, Shakespeare-an in- teresting link between the famous War wickshire town and the historic borough q Southwark. John Harvard was born in Southwark, the son of Robert Harvye. butcher, whose shop stood opposite the old church that is now Southwark Ca thedral, and who had married Miss Kath. erina Rogers, of Stratford- -on-Avon. The wedding took place in the church where Shakespeare Is buried. On November 29, 1607 John Harvard was christened at in the register is John Harvye, son of }, Robert, butcher When MT. Choate was, ambassador to England, he used to say that If he were the guide of Amer ican tourists through England it would be this entry he would take them to see first Among the property bequeathed by his mother to John Harvard was The Queens Head" Southwark. There is no known portrait of John Harvard and the bronze statue in the university grounds placed there fin 1884, was modelled from a reputed descendant of the Harvards, of Southwark, then in America. In view of the work for education accomplished through his son, 1t Is noteworthy that the Southwark butcher was local church warden, when his colleagues in- cluded another whose name was to be- come famous in connection with education --Alleyn, founder of the great college tt Dulwich.
