Congressional sentiment may be de-

plated by the War department measure

gress as al adequate means of supplying

Man is the Oldest Student

the university, a sight which probably
finds no parallel in the world. That
the former still preserves his mental
activity sufficiently to engage actively
in the teaching of this difficult subject,
requiring the deepest study and the
most clear-headed reasoning, is nearly
as marvellous as the fact that Rev. Mr..
Higgins at ninety-three is still sui.
ficiently active mentally and ambitious
physically to ,grappIe with subject
that is almost entirely new to him.
such has been the change In the sys-
TENS and textbooks since he first en-
gagged in its mysteries nearly three
quarters Of century ago..
Rev. Mr.. Higgins was born In Maine
In 1917. His early education was re-
ceived In that state, but Wesleyan col
lege was his alma mater.
Prof. Wilbur Fisk was then presi-
dent of Wesleyan, and Rev. Mr.. Hig-
gins recalls many incidents connected
with that noted teacher and scholar.
The aged student attends the class
of Professor Hoose every Monday, and
is busy nearly all the week with the
pages of Rudolph Eucken, the solon OF
Jena university.
Both teacher and student are excep-
tionally bright and vigorous for their
years, and the only defect that Rev.
Mr.. Higgins suffers from is a slight
deafness. He is too busy to speculate
on his probable span of life, and is
anxious to fill the remaining years
with the bright light and consolation
that the study of pure reason and
philosophy only can give.

Skim Milk for Poultry.

Skinned milk makes an excellent
poultry feed, and may be used to
moisten mixture of ground grains. or
the milk may be given to hens to
drink. When skinned milk is abun-
dant it may be heated until the curd
forms, and this curd fed to the flock.
On many farms the supply of meat
and milk will be ample to meet the
needs Of the flock, while on others, the
supply will be limited, and beef scraps
or fresh ground green bone should be
purchased. Green bone or other meat
may form about eight per cent. OF the
total ration in winter. In the sum-
mer well managed farm flock Sc
cures many insects, which supply the
necessary meat for egg production.

Report From Revenue Cutter of
Wanton Slaughter.
rrioyioH Islands May Be Declared
Government Reservations, Access

Water Supply involved.

Seattle, Wash.-Because of the
Pribylof islands by Japanese, these
islands may be declared government
reservations, accessible only to fed
eral officials, as the only method of
preventing the Japanese from secur-
ing supplies for their sealing fleets,
which this season got away with 900
sea1skins, valued at $40 each. This
plan is the outcome Of investigation
by the cutter seal patrol service
maintained the last season, in which
40 Japanese were arrested on the
charge of poaching.
|. Officers of the cutter Manning,
which reached this port from the seal
ing grounds, declared that the slaugh-
ter of the seal herds goes on I'M
abated, and that the diminution. which
even among hundreds of animals has
become rerceptible, spells positive ex-

curiosity, and receives her death
wound. Her pup on shore starves to
death, for no other seal mother Will

when one Is killed.
