soutberncr. .ud the CabIuet

MT Cleveland in both of his admins trations had two thorough southerners in his cabinet and one from a border state because slave holding was lawful, and suppose that MT. Wilson will have at least two full fedged southerners in his cabinet" said an old democrat.
 "In Mr. Cleveland's first administration were Gen. L. Q. c. Lamar afterward an associate justice, and A. H. Garland both ex-Confederates. MT. Bayard of Delaware, which was counted in the solid south, was Secretary of State. In his sec ond administration MT. Cleveland had Col. Hilary A Herbert of Alabama and Hoke Smith of Georgia. MT. Carlyle, the Sec retary of the Treasury, was from Ken lucky which, like Delaware, was counted in the solid south, although MT. Car lyle was a Union man during the war.
 "Josephus Daniels of North Carolina Is said to be slated for Postmaster General in Mir. Wilson's cabinet. Henry D. Clay ton, present chairman of the judiciary committee in the House of Representa- tives, is spoken of for the office of At torney General, and I hope to see him ap- pointed Underwood would make an ideal Secretary of the Treasury, but it seems to be thought by many democrats that he will be so much needed in the House as chairman of the ways and means com mittee that he would not consider an in vtation to place in the cabinet"

nueIswheat Cake sympo.ium

Quite a discussion has ybeen going on in the columns of the New York Sun recently anent buckwheat cakes-the way to make them properly and the difference in the buekwheat habit between now and other days.
 One of the latest contributions appeared in Mondays Sun. It is written by an old citizen who was born and reared in one of the upstate counties The writer says in part:
 My recollection goes back to the 40s, when the use of buckwheat was universal; it was one of the staple articles of food. The-improyed methods of milling were un- known in those days, and the buck wheats of the ancients as compared to the present day were about the ratio of proof whisky to sweetened south wind. Tie buckwheat of the ancients was cer- tainly a strong mans food and as far as the youngsters were concerned can speak emphatically. The old milling failed to eliminate an irlitant that had very disastrous effects upon the system, and after a winter of riotous eating the con sequences were an eruption on the skin.
  edy was worse than the disease. That consisted of large wooden spoon, an earthen bowl of goodly dimensions filled with sulphur and molasses. This was generally administered by the mother of the family just before bedtime, and if any of the larger children proved refrac- tory they had to take 1t later with a leather slipper accompaniment by the hand of paterfamilias.
 "It was good medicine and did the bus mess all right, and I often wonder what the young cubs of the present day would do under like circumstances.
 They were good old times after alL and after the sausage was all gone we used to get gravy made out of fat salt pork fried with a mixture of cream. That was good, too. But how times have changedl Who would dare go into a res taurant and order buckwheat cakes and salt pork gravy today? l would like some more than I can tell.
 "Buckwheat flour was the staple in those times. And when the time came for the crop to mature you would often hear the query; How does your buckwheat fll?' as the farmers met at the village store to do their weeks trading. As soon as the crop was threshed there was no time lost in getting it to the mill. The old griddle was brought out and was in con stant use until the following spring, and in some houses they kept it hot all the year round ''

FOUR CLASSES OF COLLEGES

Here is the list of the institutions in the first and second classes, the total for those of the first and the most familiar of those or the second:
 First class-Amherst. Barnard, Beloit. Bowdoin, Brown, Bryn Mawr University of California, Catholic. University oI America. University of Chicago. Colgate. University of Colorado, Columbia, Cornell Dartmouth, Boucher, GrInnen. Hamilton. Harvard, Haverford University of H. ltios, Indiana university, State University Of Iowa, Johns Hopkins, University of Kansas. Knox, Lafayette, Leland Stan ford, Lake Forest, Lehigii, M. 1. T.,
 University of Michigan. University of
 Minnesota. University of Missouri. Mt.
 EIc1yolSe. University of Nebraska. North
 western, Oberlin, Ohio State. University of Pennsylvanis, Princeton. Perdue, Rad cliffe. Rensselaer,, Smith. Stevens insti- | ute, University of Texas Tufts, Uni versity of Vermont Vanderbilt, Vassar, University of Virginia. University of Washington, Washington university. Wellesley, Wesleyan, Western Reserve,
 Williams, University of Wisconsin. Yale | except Sheffield school
 Second Class-Adelphi, University of Alabama, Allegheny, Armour Institute of Technology, Bates. Boston college, Bos- ton university, Buchtel, University of Gin cinnati, Clark college, Colby, De Pauw university, Fordham university, Franklin and Marshall, Georgetown, Hobart, Holy Cross, Kenyon college, Manhattan. Uni versity of Maine, M. A c. Science, Med dlebury New Hampshire State, College of the City of New York, New York uni versity, Pennsylvania State (seience and enginereing), University of Pittsburg, re- cent degrees; University of Rochester,
 Rutgers, St. Francis Xaviers, Sheffield Scientific, Swarthmore, Syracuse, Trinity 1 college, Union, Wells college, Worcester Polytechnic institute.
 In this list Syracuse university is in the second class, but owing to Chancellor Days protest it will be labeled "A1.'
 Though pr. Babcock has divided educa- ! tional institutions into four classes, the main interest naturally, is in the line drawn between the first and second classes.
 The first class he defines as follows: i Institutions whose graduates would or dinarily be able to take masters de- grees at any of the large graduate schools in one year after receiving their bach elors' degrees. without doing more than the amount of work regularly prescribed
 for such higher degrees There are 50 In 1 this class.
 In the second class there are 16l institu- 1 tions, which he defines thus: Institutions whose graduates would probably require for masters degrees in one of the strong graduate schools somewhat more than one years regular graduate work. Per haps one or two extra courses would sup ply the deficiency. From the colleges
 which have a star before them, brilliant students with brilliant undergraduate rec ords, could probably be admitted prosoa- topaily and might do the work required
 for the masters degree within the pre- scrbed time"

From the New York World.

From the New York World.
 sF you wish to know Who's Who in
 \ college land write to the United States
 = commissioner of education, Philan- der P. claxton for a copy Of the report of a secret investigation of "all the col leges and universities of this land" made for him by Dr. Kendric c. Babcoek. for merly president of the University of Ari- zona, and now, according to the com missioner, "a specialist in higher educa- tion" But you'll not get a copy unless you happen to have a stronger pull" thar has the ordinary citizen.
 A reporter for the World who applied for one was politely informed that only 20O copies were struck off and these had been distributed Hong ago among the deans of the graduating colleges"
 The next best thing to be had at the governments bureau was an elaborate ex- planation by Commissioner Claxton cover ing 12 printed pages, bound in pamphlet form, in the government blndery.
 Commissioner Claxton says that great mistake has been made that the govern ment bureau was not sitting in judgment, but was only trying to raise the standard for the bachelors degrees. He regrets the distribution into classes, intimating that that part of the report was unfortunate.
 But this apology has only partially soothed whole lot of college presidents, who are attributing the findings to 'oheek, arrogance trust education meth ods" and bigotry.
 Of course those who are angry are the heads of those colleges and universities which have not been placed by Dr. Bab- cock in the first class.
 However, the World did get one of the
 'only 200 copies of the private report, and, accordingly, is able to give it's readers a list of the colleges that are first class and those that are not-accord- ing to the opinion of pr. Babrook. In general. excepting the Catholic university at Washington, not one college or uniyer- sity in the United States conducted un- der Catholic auspices was able to stand Dr. Babcock s test. Georgetown, one of tine oldest Catholic institutions of learning in the country; Boston college Fordham, Holy Cross, Creighton university and others conducted by the Jesuits were rated in grades below the first. In that report also Chancellor Days Syracuse university was knocked out of the first class, but when the chancellor demanded, Who's Babcoek?" Syracuse was speedily shifted to the first class Day says that lot of colleges and universities have been treated unjustly and that he will be found fighting, with the heads of those
 institutions, for square deal. The Col lege of the City of New York, New York university Manhattan college Cunder the auspices of the Christian Brothers), the University of Rochester, Wells college. the University of Pittsburg (Carnegie's foundauon), Sheffield Scientific school (under the mothering care of Yale) are some of the institutions that have been relegated to second place. A lot more have been put back third or fourth.

to furnish St. Louis with hydro-elec- trio power.
 To sum the matter up, the quick road to power development and river improvement is along the lines that the Register condemns, namely, the application of private or corporate capital under special acts of Congress and the dam act which is really a pretty sound general law. Years would go by if we should attempt to follow the Registers advice, and years also would go by if we wait for dam act that would put the gen. eral government into the hydro-elec- trie business. So long as no dam can be erected, for example, in the Coosa without a special act of Congress, no great danger of monopoly on the part of English or other capital need be feared, for Congress in general and Alabama's 10 representatives and two senators in particular represent the people of Alabama.

Undoing the Pacific Merger

The supreme court has been asked to name the manner of disposing of the 46 per cent of Southern Pacific stock which the Union Pacific owns. The Union Pacific directors propose to sell it to their own stockholders. The Attorney General objects to this on the ground that control of the Southern Pacific would not in that way be changed.
 The Union Pacific naturally de sires to have a voice in Southern Pacific affairs until it can secure a transfer of the Central Pacific to itself on reasonable terms. The Cen tral Pacific runs from San Francisco to Ogden, where it meets the Union Pacific.
 Altogether the problem is difficult. The Union Pacific needs the Central Pacific and when it has secured that road it has no further need perhaps of stock in the Southern Pacific. The untangling of the Pacific roads is much more difficult than was the case when the Northern Securities company was dissolved. No one will perhaps suffer losses, for the way out of the merger is now in the hands of the supreme court.

WHAT A MANGO TASTES r..,<p

Maurice Barring in the January Metropol-
 itan.
 The first thing to do when you reach Ceylon Is to eat mango. will it be as good as you are told it is? Yes, it is- better. First you think it's an apricot and then you think it's a banana: no. fresher-a peach, strawberry; and then cones delicious sharp, fresh, aromatic after taste, slightly tinged with turpen- tine. but not bitter. Then you get all the taste at once and you know that the mango is like nothing else but it's own incomparable self It has all these dif- ferent tastes at once, simultaneously. In this, it resembles the beatific vision as told of by St. Thomas Aquinas The point of the beati1c vision, says St. Thom- as, is its infinite variety. So that those who enjoy it have, at the same time. the sensation that they are looking at a per feet landscape, hearing the sweetest music, bathing in a cold pool on a hot day, reaching the top of a mountain, gal loping on grass on a horse that is going very fast but is not running away, float Ing over tree tops in a balloon; seeing rarely good acting, eating perfect cheese, drinking a rarely good cocktail, and any other nice thing you can think of, all at once. The point, therefore, of the taste of the mango is its infinite variety

Professor Taft of Yale University

President Taft's decision to accept the Kent professorship of law at Yale university involving residence in New Haven and practical retire ment from the practice of law and from politics is we'll received through out the country. He will not at any rate have to appear before judges he had appointed and altogether his dig
 nity as an ex-President will be better maintained at New Haven than it would be in Cincinnati or New York.
 No retiring ex-President ever made better choice, although MT. Cleve- land acted in almost similar man. ner when he went to Princeton. MT. Taft proposes, however, to impress upon the young men who go to Yale his views of the fundamental princi- ples of the American constitution and the American system. He is good deal of standpatter, and no doubt he will combat all of the later reform ideas. He will have an excellent op- portunity to present his views, and the papers will certainly see that those views are carried throughout the country. He will have all the pub licity that he can reasonably ask for. Any ex-President can secure hear ing at any time and on any subject.
