CAREERS OF FIRST SCHOLARS.
Contrary to General Belief, Obscurity Does Not, as a Rule, Engulf Them.

The college man who ranks highest in his class has often been 8 subject of dubious speculation. says the New York Times. He has been a dig" a grind" or even a greasy grind" He was a precocious child. and will suffer an early dulling of his mental powers. Or, he has undermined his health by too much study. and will succumb to the first epidemic that comes his way At any rate. his subsequent career will not be brilliant. He will not fulfill the expectations of his friends Most col lege men can recall cases of classmates who attained high rank. and after graduation drifted into obscurity Is this the rule with first scholars?
 The Harvard Graduates Magazine for December says it is not the rule It reprints and augments the list in Kings Harvard Register of 1I3 first scholars in Harvard's classes during the century from 1777 to 1888. Only I9 became parsons. and of these 16 were graduated before 1S4s Very nearly half of them. B. were lawyers. 10 were congressman. three members of presi- dents cabinets. two ministers to Great Britain. and three more ministers to other countries. one first scholar be- came justice of the United States su- preme court, and six were judges of United States court and of state su- preme courts Then there were two presidents of Harvard and one acting president. many who became educators of high rank. and large nunber of lawyers whose work las associated their names with great industrial af- fairs. Few were boOkworms or in valids.
 They did not die at 30 The aver age age of Harvards first scholars at death has been over 5SIs years. The American Tables of Mortality" show an expectation of life" at 22. the age of college graduation. to be 62.S5 years But that is the present average. not the average of a century or even of fifty years ago. The 25 first scholars of this list who are now living average 59.7O years each. and will die at the normal age or older

ST. PAUL BELLIES ARE
 PLEASED WITH PHOENIX
Impressed With Local Society and
 Will Extend Visit.

That Phoenix was a frontier city. surrounded by wide sweeps of barren wastes. that red skinned savages were common and that progressive. genteel citizens were unknown, was the i'm precision entertained by the Misses Adelaide and Helen Ruff. two charm ing young society ladies of Minne- sota, until they arrived in this city about two weeks ago to spend a few weeks. the guests of their uncle, F. J Barr. a local real estate dealer So completely disabused of this theory have their minds become, since their advent into the land of sunshine. that they have now decided that. they will spend the remaining months of the winter season in the south west.
 Society leaders in St. Paul, they have discovered that society here is fully equal to that of their home city and quite as exclusive They have already been the guests of honor at a number of functions in Phoenix, from which they have become aware that Arizona and her capital city are not quite as far removed from the centers of civilization as they had supposed. and that the ladies of this city entertain quite as royalty and as elaborately as they do in the mid de west. In anticipation of the sea sons gayeties, which can hardly be said to have more than fairly be- gun, the Misses Ruff have sent home for their choicest gowns and expect 10 take an active part in local sO- cial events this winter and will prob ably themselves entertain on more than one occasion before the arrival of the day of their departure.
 Incidental with the departure from St. Paul of these. young ladies. the Pioneer Press of that city published two-column half-tOne cut of Miss Adelaide in one of her most effective poses, and announced that she would be missed from the social circles of that city during her absence in Ari- Zona.
 Miss Helen is reputed to be an elo- cutionist of rare ability and when she has become somewhat more ac- quainted with those comprising Phoe- nix social circles may be constrained to entertain in her chosen way. Both she and her sister are loud in their praise of Phoenix and Phoenix so- ciety and admit they have no present desire to return to the colder cline of St. Paul.

TRAFFIC BY PANAMA AND TE-
 HUANTEPEC.

This transisthmian traffic between the eastern and western coasts of the United States and between the east ern coast of the United States and the western coast of Central and South America has greatly increased in re- cent years. Tn the fiscal year 1905 it aggregated but SS,OOO 900; in 1910 it was over $50, 0,0OO. 900, or ten times as much. This increase is the result in part of the opening on January |, 1907. of the railway across the 18th mus of Tehuantepec, Mexico, 190 miles in length. operated in conjunction with and supplied with facilities for trans porting freight from steamer to rail- way and from railway to steamer. The value Of it's traffic in merchandise or iginating irf and destined for ports of the United States has grown from about S25O00000 in the calendar year 1907. the first year of it's operation, to S70O00. 900 in the fiscal year 1910. In the meantime the value of Ameri- can merchandise crossing by way of the Panama Railway, largely occupied at the present time with the service incident to the construction of the Panama canal, has grown from S9,- 50G.000 in the fiscal year 1907 to S12,- 750. 900 in the fiscal year 1910.
 Practically all of the American traf- fife carried across the Isthmus of Te- hauntepec passes between the eastern and western coast ports of the United States, including the Hawaiian islands, while about three-fifths passes be- tween ports of the United States, and about two-fifths between domestic ports and ports of foreign countries.

in their raw state they were used for fertilizer and even a few years ago when cotton seed crushing had got a
 fairly good start 20 cents bushel was regarded as an excellent prise and the returns were regarded as velvet by the farmers. The seed this year is selling for 40 cents to 50 cents a bushel
 There are in the south today several
 hundred plants for crushing the oil
 from cotton seed. Three large cor
 porations are engaged extensively in
 the manufacture of the products of
 the seed. these three alone owning nearly 400 crushing mills and quite a number of refineries. These companies are the Southern Cotton oil company. the American Cotton oil company and procter & Gamble The scores of oth- CT mills in the south sell their crude oil to these larger companies CT to inc dependent refineries and the packing houses.
 The ordinary mill turns out three products from the seed-hull. meal and crude oil. The hulls and meal are sold to farmers who mix them them selves for cattle feed. while the crude oil is sold to the large companies or to refinerics, etc. h some of the large mills the meal and hulls are scientifi- cally mixed and blended into bOveta and other balanced cattle feed which has within the last year or so been shipped to the eastern states to dairy men and stockmen. while. b. the intro duction of corn, rice. bran and small amount of molasses. a horse feed re- rembling oats in its constituency is made. and this product. called scocotes is becoming quite popular with those who purchase instead of raise their horse feed.
 Cotton flour for human consumption was manufactured for the first time last fall and winter It is made by a rather expensive process and has not been put on the market as a cheap product Its claim to favor lies in the fact that it contains a very high per cent of protein. a larger proportion, in fact. than almost any other article known, while the proportion of starch is exceedingly small. The flour is so rich that it cannot be made into bread by itself, but is mixed with wheat flour or corn meal. Mixed with wheat flour in the proper proportion it makes

a bread that resembles graham bread.
 The oil is by far the most valuable product of the seed. being worth prob ably three times as much as all the other products put together. Few peo- pie have any idea of the large number of uses to which cotton seed oil is put. When the crude oil is refined the flour oil results with soap stock is the byproduct. This by-product is worked up into several marketable products, including soaps. pitch. paints. glycer- inc and others. while new uses are con- stantly begin found for ii.
 The refined oil has many products. but the most important are the cook ing fats.

VALUE OF COTTON CROP.
Worth About One Fifth as Much as
 the Cotton Crop.

The farmers of the south will receive this year for the seed from their cotton approximately 165.OOO.OO0. at least one fifth as much as they will receive from the fleecy staple itself. says the Wall Street Journal. Within the memory of men still comparatively young the seed from the entire cotton crop. with the exception of the few saved for planting the next crop, were regarded as a bother and nuisance. and were thrown into waste places.

DULUTH MILL LOSS 100000.
Lumber Is Consumed by Flames But
Mill Is Spared.


Duluth. - An early Sunday morning
fire destroyed 100000 worth of lum.
Der, lath and singles at the West Du.
luth sawmill Of Alger, Smith & Co.
The wind blew away from the com.
pany's big sawmill, SO that It was not
endangered. but it was with great diff.
ficulty that 80 head of horses were
gotten out Of the company's barn in
time to save them before the structure
was consumed. The origin Of the fire
Is unknown at the present time, but
there are people who believe that the
New Duluth firebug, who has destroyed
100000 worth Of property in four
weeks, with six fires, has extended his
operations to Duluth proper.
1t may be q matter of some signifi.
canoe that only few hours before the
big fire at Alger, Smith G Co.'S mill
yard the fire department was sum.
moned to the plant Of the Scott-Graff
Lumber company at the west end.
This fre was easily extinguished Be.
fore the flames spread far enough to
do much damage. The lumber con.
sumed at the Alger, Smith & Co. fire
consisted Of nearly 100000 feet, the
bulk OF which was low grade stock.
This loss amounted to about $50 900
and the loss on shingles and lath
amounting to $4,000 and may exceed
that amount, all covered by insurance.
The figures are given out by the con,
pany and doubtless are conservative.
