ecEIcr Remlr,sesWoes,

The chapel clock peeled the hour for u1, and we ate it With epicurean en- 5oyment. We were walking together. the senior and l, and l listened w::'h baited breath while he told ne fish story. Arm In arm we walked. but suddenly he stopped and drew his hands across his eyes It was q good likeness, but obscured his vision a bit Then he resumed:
 we sure were a bunch of hummers in our freshman year. Tn our snow ball fight with the sophs on Washing tons birthday three of us gained the fence and began 10 chop it up into small pieces for souvenirs. Suddenly a seven foot soph grabbed the smallest of my assistants, but with a well aim ed snowball 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 a eigh, goodness knows where from.
 But whence the scarlet streamsT ! interrogated. Was 1t blood?"
 "No," he palpitated; there was ts mato in the snowball."
 Then silence fell but we suetaine N between us.-Yale Record.

Hookina the Wary Trout

Trout when hungry usually face u.s current This fact should be remern. pered when approaching a bridge oF eddy where the "spcckled beauties love to hide" If possible. such spots should be approached upstream. It may take little more time to go around and come back up, but make haste slow. V' Is said to be the first axiom of trout fishing.

Silence and Science.

Before 1t was determined scientific ally that smoke is waste. snoke was fixed as the final indication and proot of prosperity. Today a smokeless ch;noney means nothing less than thrift and good management. Similar ly we now hear that noise Is proof of urban life, progress and activity. We may answer that no.>e is loss as surely as smoke is waste Decreased comfort is loss and noise decreases comfort Disturbed minds are lu$s through re- ducticn of mental force, But these and similar consequences are indirect loss. There is direct loss also. A rat ting car means worn bearings and short lived vehicle. Otherwise rail roads would not spend so much on their roadbeds, and they would run trains at higher speed.-Detroit Free Press

We used to say to each other: Why, where are the children? Haven't they got any:' But at New Years weMound out that they had. This Is the great holiday of all the year in China, when erybody hangs out flags and colored lanterns and sets off frecrackers. (We borrowed our custom of frecrackers for the Fourth of July from China's New Year's.> All the people put on their best clothes and the children the best of all, jackets and trousers o! bright blue or green or yellow or rur- pie, the boys and the girls so much alike that you can only tell them apart by their hair. The boys of course is braided in pigtail, and the girls is done up on her head with silver pins or. If she's very grand little girl, With gold or jade. Thus decked out, the children go walking with their proud papas and mammas and often go to the theater. which is a rare treat for them.
