Short Course Has Many More
Students.

The large enrolment of students in
the Short Course of the Agricultural
College of the University Of Wisconsin,
which opened Dec. 4, shows the grow
ing reputation and popularity of the
Badger institution. An increase in the
number of non resident students is
noteworthy, % members coming from
Illinois, which state ranks second to
Wisconsin. The increased attendance
from other states indicates the keen
appreciation throughout the country of
the superior opportunity afforded for
agricultural education at Wisconsin.
Eleven states are represented by 1853
students, 275 first year, and 1873 second
year men. The total enrolment will
doubtless reach the 475 mark, when ali
the desultory registrations are COM
pleted. The attendance at last years
course numbered 461. The list of stu
dents includes two women for the cur
rent year.

LANGUAGES In the British Isles.

Has anybody ever reckoned how
many languages are spoken in the
British isles? Few people would put
the number as high as seven. But
take a census thus: English, Welsh in
Wales, Erse in Ireland, Manx in the
Isle Of Man Church services in Manx
were discontinued there but recently,
Gaelic in Scotland (six weeks ago at
Oban this writer heard maidservants
gossiping in that tongue), French In
the Channel islands and Cornish was
spoken in Cornwall far more recently
than either historians or the public
know. The total is seven languages
for the British isles, and yet the Eng
lishman is the poorest linguist in the
world,-London Spectator

The idea being an alarming one, he
scrambled out of bed and CROPPED his
way TO the window He was obliged
to rub the frost off with the sleeve of
his dressing gown before he could see
anything, and he could see very little
then. All he could make out was that
1t was still very foggy and extremely
cold and that there was no noise of
people running to and fro and making
a great stir. as there unQuestionably
would have been if night had beaten
off bright day and taken possession Of
the world.
Scrooge went to bed again and
thought and thought and thought it
over and over and over and could
make nothing of it, WAS it dream

Scrooge lay in this state until the
chimes had gone three-Quarters more,
when he remembered on Il sudden that
the ghost had warned him of Il visi-

resolved TO lie awake until the hour
was past.
The quarter was so long that he was
more than once convinced he must
have sunk into a doZe unconsciouSly

broke upon his listening ear.

He spoke before the hour bell sound

up in the room upon the instant, and
the curtains of his bed were drawn,
and Scrooge, starting up into a half
recumbent attitude, found himself face
to face with the unearthly visitor who
drew them.

Tt was a strange figure, like a child,
yet not so like q child as like an old
man viewed through some supernat-
ural medium, which gave him the ap-
pearance Of having receded from the
view and being diminished to a childs
proportions. It's hair, which hung about
its neck and down its back, was white
as if with age, and yet the face had
not a wrinkle in it, and the tenderest
bloom was on the skin. The arms were
very long and muscular, the hands the
same as if it's hold were Of uncommon
strength It's legs and feet, most deli
cately formed, were like those upper
members, bare. 1t wore tun1c OF
the purcst white, and round its waist
was bound a lustrous belt, the sheen
Of which was beautiful. 1t held a
branch of fresh green holly in it's hand
and in singular contradiction of that
wintry emblem had it's dress trimmed
with summer flowers. But the stran-
gest thing about it was that from the
crown Of it's head there sprang a
bright, clear jet Of light by which all
this was visible and which was doubt
less the occasion of it's using in its
duIler moments great extlngu1sher

MANS MISSION.

In his own life a man is not to
expect happiness. He is only to
profit gladly by it if it shall arise.
He is ON duty here. He knows
not how or why and does not need
to know. He knows not for what
hire and must not ask. Somehow
or other, though he does not know
what goodness is, he must try to be
good. Somehow or other, though
he cannot tell what will do it, he
must try to give happiness to 9TH

TRAINING SCHOOL NOTES.

Seventy students are now registered
in the Training school. Ahcc;siiu forty
of them represent twenty-one towns
of The county, the remaining number
are from the city.
Mr.. Everett G. Glenn, principal of
the Lincoln school, lectured before
the students on Thursday. He out
lined briefly and simply the progress
of education through the ages, begin
ming with Chsnais contribution, then
Egypt's contribution to education, the
influence of Grecian and Roman civili-
zation, and finally America s contribu-
ton so far as it could now be dis
cerned.
On election day the opening hour
was devoted to speech-making by the
students. Very creditable talks We're
given by many of the boys in behalf
of the various parties. The G.. O. p.
and the Social Democratic party
appeared to have many advocates.
LaFollette was strongly supported by
two or three. Many good words were
spoken for candidates for county
offices by personal friends of theirs.
A BALLOT was cast in the evening by
the young ladies as well as the young
men.
Mr.. w. w. Albers gave talk on
Friday afternoon about his trip
through Norway. He started his
journey at Christiana and gradually
progressed northward, dwelling quite
extensively upon the description of
scenery, rivers, lakes, forests, and
fjords, and also upon interesting de-
tails regarding the journey, which are
omitted from the geographical descrip-
tion of that country. Arrived at the
extreme north, Mr.. Albers spoke OF
the extensive fishing industries, but
found words inadequate to describe
the feelings which oyercame one in
the contemplation of the midnight
sun. He closed by giving a quotation
from Bayard Taylor regarding its
strange yet wondrous glory. The lee
ture was rare treat to all, and was
presented in a most interesting man.
