Tho chapel clock peeled the hour fos ~, and we ate 1t with epicurean en. 3oyment We were walking together, the senior and l, and I listened with baited breath while he told me a fish story. Arm in arm we walked, but suddenly he stopped and drew his hands across his eyes. It was good likeness, but obscured his vision bit. Then he resumed
 "We sure were a bunch of hummers in our freshman year. In our snow ball fight with the sophs on Washing tons birthday three of us gained the fence and began to chop 1t up into small pieces for souvenirs. Suddenly a seven foot soph grabbed the smallest of my assistants, but with well aim' ed snowfall between the eyes I laid him low, while scarlet streams rolled down his face and made intricate ara. besques on his collar.'
 The senior paused and fetched . sigh, goodness knows where from.
 "But whence the scarle, streams?" interrogated. "Was 1t h''ol?"
 "No," he palpitated; "th.re was to mato in the snowball."

Silence and Science.

Before 1t was determined scientific ally that smoke is waste. smoke was fixed as the final indication and proof of prosperity. Today smokeIess chimney means nothing less than thrift and good management. Similar. ly we now hear that noise is proof ot urban life, progress and activity. We may answer that noise is loss as surely as smoke is waste. Decreased comfort is loss and noise decreases comfort Disturbed minds are loss through a re. duction of mental force. But thes> and similar consequences are indirect loss. There Is direct loss also. A rat. tling car means worn bearings and a short lived vehicle.

 'You ought to know what it means John,' repeated the saloon keeper Its meaning is the cause of your sus pension"
 "Yes, Jofln," the man resumed; "youl suspension is caused by the New Years swear off of that fellow and thousands like him.
