COrnell'S President
 RebukeS PrinCet0n'S Head

Ithaca, June 7.-Declarations made recently by President Woodrow Wilson of Princeton and other prominent edu- cators that intellectual life was de- caying in American universities be- cause of the loss of the spirit of study, drew forth a strong protest from Pres ident Jacob Gould Schurman of Cor nell University, yesterday. He said that such conditions probably did exist among the older institutions because they clung to the literary traditions and because they attracted many stu dents who did not wish to gain knowl- edge but only the social prestige of a college degree. Cornell and the West ern universities, he said, did not have such troubles.

POINTS OF INTEREST.

Famous TiSSOt Paintings"
 that have been exhibited in large cit viewed them, this most wonderful ser ies of paintings given to the world by this celebrated French artist who devoted twenty years of his life in studying the locality, the people and in painting the scenes connected with the birth and life of the Saviour. Prior to taking the trip to the Holy Land he was known throughout Europe as day while attending church in Paris he had a vision of the Saviour with bleeding hands beckoning to him and and in his heart he heard the insis- tent call of a. higher mission and ho- Her and nobler art. He set about to prepare himself for this wonderful journey and the result of his efforts and study has been the 240 paintings that will live for generations to come. After these paintings had been viewed by hundreds of thousands of people they were purchased and they are now in New York to be viewed for years to come.
 The Tissot Society of New York has reproduced these magnificent works of art and historical interest in the col ors of the original paintings and they are now for sale in a portfolio con- taining 120 pictures of the old testa- ment and 120 of the new testament at the low price of S1 per set. At the present time some of the pictures are being shown at Jackson's Book Shop, 986-9SS Main street, in the north win dow. It will be well worth your while to stop, study and draw from the pictures some of the inspiration that inspired the artist. These colIec- tions are very helpful for study of the Bible they are splendid for the kindergarten and for all Bible stu dents. Beginning as they do with the book of Genesis and ending with the last book of the Bible they make a complete pictorial history of the Bi- ble. Remember also that they can be bought in any number of copies want ed of any one subject to assist with the Sunday-school lessons. It will re- pay you to drop in and see these re- productions.
 Reproducing Old Ideas
 In the up-to-date home of to-day you will find at least or rooms which are decorated and furnished in accordance with some old idea hun dreds of years ago. There are many periods to copy from but the most ef- fective to-day are the Colonial, Eliza bethian, Louis NV and Louis VI. If you are thinking of carrying out any of these ideas you will do well to give me a call as this is the only store of its kind between New York and Bos- ton which carry a complete line of furniture and materials to complete a certain period Here you can get the old Hepplewhite and Sheraton ve1ours used on furniture of this period, the Gothic Tapestries for your Gothic room, etc. Also a fine line of English hand blocked cretonnes and table cov- CTS.
 At this time I can figure to do work at lower prices than ever before and you will make no mistake to let me give you estimate at least. Re- pairing of all kinds dore, also refin- ishing portieres and curtains made to order. J. F. Fay, 239 and 21 Fairfield ave.

snapsne In Warfare.

The method of snfping in warfare is as follows: Three men set out, two in one direction and one in another The single E-1, when he believes he is stn the neighborhood of the enemy, let's off his rifle, no matter in what direc- ton, and thus draws the fire of the sentry. Immediately the two other -stalkers fire into the space lit up by the discharge When this goes on, all round the camp the result is constant aIaFm at night time. Soldiers are warned not to reply to a sniper, but the temptation is we'll nigh irresistible Their exertions, however, meet with hittle success, for snfpers generally stalk the sentries from behind stones- London Globe.

 It is also a fact that while he might not, and perhaps would not, have any part in the distribution of 1t, many thou sands of dollars would be spent in an endeavor to elect local option man to the governorship. It Is an open secret that at the present time the brewers and liquor interests of the United States are pouring considerable sums of money into Alabama with view to influencing legislation either at the special session or at the regular session, which is to come at the beginning of 1911.
 So 1t Is seen that In any event the out come of the special session is going to have a wonderful influence upon the po- litical race which Is sure to follow. The fight is going to be strong on both sides of the prohibition question Money is going to be spent without stint to render the enactments less stringent and leave them more open to evasion and attack.
