An UnsociaI Pedant.

"At Trinity, Cambridge. the great
DIR. Whewell was the incarnation of
masterful unsociability," says Mr..
Tollemache in his "reminiscences. "a
Trinity friend told me in the fifties
that Whewelrs evening parties went
by the name of 'perpendiculars' be-
cause the undergraduates were expect
ed to remain standing all the time,
though he himself sat down whenever
he chose. 1t is also related that, being
shortsighted, he inspected each man
in turn at unpleasantly close quarters,
and it was high crime for any one
Ito speak until he was spoken to. On
one occasion under the trying scrutiny
an unwary freshman remarked that
the weather was fine. Sir replied the
pedant, are you not aware that if you
have any communication to make to
the master Of your college you should
make it through your tutor?'"

''No. All you need to do is to meas

Some of the colleges have great
dislike to the way in which they are

At the Naval academy there is a
strong prejudice against being called

particularly fond of "midshipmen."
They believe the proper name for their
institution is ''the navy"
Columbia has great distaste for the
name of "Columbians'' for their repre-

lHuqo and Merimee.

1t is probable that with the excep-

ever was greeted with such a storm
of vilificati6n and abuse as Victor
Hugo wien he published Les Miser-

JIG literally off their feet, almost all
Hugo's rivals united in condemning ii

Prosper Merimee wrote in reference
to dinner given to Hugo at Brussels:
"Have you read Victor Hugo's
speech at the dinner given to him by
Belgian librarians and other scoun-
dreis of Brussels? His statements
were without depth, solidity or COM

Gates himself with words and does not

THE DOCTORS.
Tribute to the Nobility of the Medical
Profession.


To enter the medical profession is to
find oneself in most noble company.
When Dante was led by Virgil into the
presence of sthe master of them that
know" he saw Aristotle surrounded by
a group of the sages of antiquity. Look
at them as they are introduced one by
one, and you will see that a fourth of
them bear names illustrious in medi-
cine. To take note of but one-HippOc-
rates is there. The student will not
turn to his pages now to learn what
has to be taught in modern text books
or class rooms. Yet he will do well to
lay to heart the spirit that guided "the
father of medicine" in drawing up the
oath imposed on the students of the
Hippocratic school. with purity and
with holiness" the candidate was
made to swear, II will pass my life
, and practice my art. Into whatever
houses / enter / will go into them for
the benefit of the sick, will abstain
from every voluntary act of mischief
and corruption"
In the long succession of those who
have enlarged the bounds of his sci
ence the student will meet with a
great army of men who have kept the
spirit of that oath under higher sane
lions than were open to the pioneers
whom the medieval poet consigns to
a place in his inferno because, though
blameless of sin, they had not been
baptized-Sir Alexander Simpson in

but it is sure to break out somewhere

for as long as the Uric and Rheumatic
Acid remains in the blood, one is never
entirely free from the trouble. Uric-O
seeks out the Rheumatic poison in the
blood, muscles and kidneys, renders it
inert and harmless and drives it out Of

designed to cure Rheumatism only.

The centre of population In 1900 was
In the state of Indiana. In 1870 the CEN

more, In the state Of Maryland, or virtu-
ally on the Atlantic shore line.

In direction, says the Geographical
Journal. It has lowered for 10 years
along the thirty ninth parallel of lati-
tude, and its total variation In latitude
has been less than one-third OF one de-
gree.
The westward movement has averaged
less than degree In q decade, notwith-
standing the Incredibly swift occupation
OF vacant continent by q movement OF
population westward. The Easterly po-
sition of the centre Of population is in
part due to the fact that the eastern
part of the continent was frat settled
aud was settled from the East. The
easterly position of tho centre of popu.
lation is also due to the more evenly
distributed and more abundant resources
OF the Eastern half Of the United States.
1t should not be forgotten that the
geographical centre of the United States
lies some hundreds of miles west of the
Mississippi River. The eastern half OF
the country, therefore, embraces the
Atlantic lowlauds, the prairies and the
Great Lake plains, the Gulf lowlands
and the forests and minerals of the Ap

APemarkabIe Winter for Birds,

II the reports that come in from many
parts of New England can be relied upon
this has been remarkable winter for
birds. The breeding season of 1908 was
unusually favorable for the birds In most
sections and this has resulted in increas-
ing their numbers. The fall was late
with fine dry weather, and the flights OF
small birds came in numbers and stayed
long. The largest flight Of woodcock
that has been seen for years went through
the New England States in November.
Woodcock were plentiful for few days
all along the Atlantic seaboard, as far
south at least as southern New England,
aud the flight extended we'll back into
the interior. In southeastern New Eng.
land most birds moved south very re-
luctantly. Bluebirds and swallows were
reported in Plymouth and Bristol Coun-
ties, Massachusetts,, late In December,
and good many robins were seen up to
the first week in January. The Carolina
wren, which seems to have invaded New
England in recent years, and which has
extended its range even to Maine has
been reported in some localities this
winter. A few kingfishers were observed
where the streams were still open, and
wild geese were reported late In Decem-
Der. Notwithstanding the fact that
many birds have remained with US long.
or than usual, unusual numbers of GER
tain winter birds have come down from
the north, and farmers report slots OF
small birds" In the fields and woods
this winter. Flocks Of the rarer white
winged crossbill, pine siskins and red
polls are reported. Tree sparrows and
juncos have been seen in large numbers.
The season has been so open In Massa.
chusetts that these birds have found q
plentiful supply of weed seeds in the
fields. Snowy owls are reported from
along the coast.
One correspondent from Maine claims
to have seen that very rare bird the b.
hemian Wax.wing. Maine ornithologists
should be on the lookout for this bird,
for one Is fortunate to get sight of 1t In
q lifetime.
Everyone who lives In the country
should feed the birds In winter. 1t is
very little trouble to keep a few pieces
of suet or some beef bones, with shreds
of meat attached, tied up In the orchard
trees out of reach Of cats and dogs, as
food for tho birds. We shall be well
paid for our trouble by the destruction
OF the insect enemies of the trees. The
birds attracted by the bait hung out will
frequent the vicinity and while feeding a
part of the time on the animal food thus
provided for them will spend the rest of
the time hunting insects on the trees. A
little chaff from the barn floor should be
thrown out under q shed or in some
sheltered place to provide food for the
seed. eating birds.
