a Fine Old Veteran.

President Angel of the university
of Michigan, veteran among admins
traitors of state universities, has
just been told on his eightieth birth
day how much he is respected by his
fellow-educatiora administrators,
President Eliot acting as spokesman.
The delightful feature of President
Angeles reply was its optimism, its
buoyancy, it's delight in life. AS he
says, growing up among youth, ever
keeping in touch with them, has kept
the heart and mind young, and the
body, too, such is the reflex influence
of mind and feeling upon bodily well
fare. The same note of youth in age
is struck by President Eliot when
ever he speaks. Life Is still a joyous
thing to these veteran educators be-
cause devoted to youthful Deterrent
and to service for others. This meet
ing at Ithaca has been memorable
not only for the recognition paid to
President Angel, but also for the
tributes paid to President Eliot, who
a year hence will have withdrawn
from membership and attendance

basin Of corn and oat
feed to each COW twice
daily and l substituted
the Badger, feeding the
same quantity. | secured
one.third more milk on

will give as much milk
on the Badger feed as
they will on grass. l

Taking the tariff off lumber will not
reduce the cost of lumber one cent to
the American consumer. Every dollar
that is now paid into the American
treasury by reason of importations of
lumber into the United States from
Canada and elsewhere will be retain
ed by the importer and added to his
profits. This is just what happened
in the case of the reduction of duties
on sugar from Cuba The United
States lost the duty and sugar prices
remained the same. The importer
gained everything that was made
through the transaction. The price of
lumber to the consumer will not in the
slightest be affected by the tariff But
the receipts of our government will be
affected by it.-Cadillac News and Ex-

A ousan Elizabeth Joke.

Queen Elizabeth liked her jokes. and.
although her pleasantries we're of a
less sanguinary turn than her fathers.
she must have been even more Ioi
midable than usual when disposed to
be froliesome. A tale may be found
in one of Lord Essex's letters with
regP nd to a new dress belonging to one
of her maids Of honor. over the pos
session of which the owner had been
rash enough 20 exhibit some elation.
The young lady. it seems. was several
inches taller than her majesty. hardly
perhaps quite nice or loyal thing to
be. Having desired that the dress
should be made over to her custody.
the queen, first carefully selecting an
extremely wet day. was pleased TO put

in the mud. the owner Of the hui

delighted with the royal fun and CON
descension as the rest OF the lockers

An American Joke From England.

The typical American, says con-
tri5utor to the English Illustrated
Magazine. although partial to making
jokes, is often quick tempered and I'M
able to recognize joke made by an
other. with results that are sometimes
unpleasant.
Thus. a senator was once alta fast
ionable dinner party at Washington
when he was asked what fish he would
take.
"waal,' he said, 81 reckon III take
place.
A wit who CHANGED to be present re-
marked, with a twinkle In his eye,
'Ah. senator, still place seekerE
"Yaas." answered the senator, at the
same time whipping out revolver
and shooting the wit dead. but what's
that to you, you dern'd stranger?
Afterward. when the joke was ex-
planned to him, the senator confessed
that he had acted rather hastily. and
to show that he bore no grudge he
went to the funeral Of the inopp 1rtune
wit.
