AT HARVARD FIFTY YEARS AGO.
N. 8. shaler Tells Us Of the Life Of a
Senior.

He was a senior in Harvard college
and had a well-deserved name for
scholarship in the classics, as well as
for a miscellaneous assortment of tai
ents and knowledge. He was reputed
to be the best player of the game of
checkers in the country; knew the
political history Of the United States
amazingly well; was learned in pugil-
ism. having at his tongues end the
story of all the prize-fights of recent
times; withal he was the merriest lit

When Mark Twain was working

brought him fame he sailed for Eu.

writing on shipboard. leaving it only
for brief recreations. One day an ap-
preaching storm drove him to the
cabin, and as he retired to work he
left word with his daughter then a
very little girl. to explain his absence.

All of the preparations which have
been used to prevent horns from
growing on young animals haye been
composed largely of one or the other
of the caustics above mentioned. In
view of the fact that these substances
alone. without the admixture of 9TH
ers, answer the purpose satisfactorily,
1t would hardly seem to be necessary
to give the following formula but as
1t was used with good results when
much was being written in regard to
dehorning compounds, it has been
thought best to insert 1t here. chiefly
to prevent the necessity for any
further inquiry on the part of those
who may have used it and are no
longer in possession of it. The formu-
la was published in the eighth and
ninth annual reports of the bureau of
animal industry for 1891 and 1892, and
the preparation was at that time
quite largely used. 1t was made by
combining in an emulsion so per cent.

should be made to each horn button,

horns on young animals of this age
can be removed by one cut of a good

There are still many fruit-growins

rights?" asked the man, indicating

homeward rush. His companion
looked and saw slender. handsomely

young man who. in the crush. was
standing in front of her and was car

barrassed and bravely declined with
a pleasant little smile, which was all

In pursuit Of Anstruther, reaches

are now crowding about the polling

Then as Anstruther lights another
match, a shrek rises to them: The
husband Of Marina, Madre dl Dio!"
"Tomassot" exclaims Edwin, add.
ing: In Gods name, where is my
wife,"

here to find her. At the fork of the

be killed"

Anstruther has thrown off his coat
and vest, kicked off his shoes and
taken off his stockings. Toes will
cling to the rough stonework better
than boots. He picks up the letter
and the concluding sentences seem to
make him crazy. He springs to the
window and muttered oath parts his
white lips, for he encounters grillage
of heavy iron so securely fastened on
the outside that 1t Is impossible for
him to make exit.
But even as Edwin struggles with
the grating, he utters low cry, half
of longing, half of despair.

qualities predcable Of God, and the divine reia-

finds proofs less IN distractions like the onto

its inherent spirituality and the rational quail
