cessary standard at the end OF the
year. although the grade affirmed

course disposed of the deficiency In
the mos economical way. At the end
of the year had FIVE full courses TO
my credit When the summer was
over. | completed another half course.
did not take any summer work at
the end of my sophomore year, as 7
found it too warm to do much profit

that | should not hurry through. IF
] had wished, | would have been able
10 complete my course this year by
carrying somewhat heavier program.
As is. have only two courses more
to complete the requirements for the
degree. If / wish, / can graduate at
the end of the first semester next year.
But | do not propose to do that, as
there are full courses consider as be-
ing necessary to the rounding-out of
my plan of study. Thus | shall have
at the end of next year at least q
course and a half in excess of the re.
quirement.
So far government has been my ma
ior, although | took my first course IN
edu alton this year, as / shall do my
graduate work in education later 1

although / did not like enocomics so
well as the Others planned my work
rather carefully from the very begin
hing, and thus far ! find the arrange
ment satisfactory.
College life at Harvard Is on the
whole enjoyable. Studying in Cam
bridge, which is only four miles from
Boston, a student enjoys the advan-
tages of large city. To be near
large city like Boston is especially adj
yantageous to a foreign student, who
desires to observe life in a country
from several aspects. 1t is more prob
ably true that a student who has this
advantage is more likely to acquire a
broader point of view in regard to the
life and institutions OF another peo-
pie 1t u likely also that he would
be more sympathetic in the under
standing of the people and their so
cial customs. My impression is that,
the people in the East mean the
educated Americans-are in the main
cordial to foreignss students. have
found, however, tRf some are inclin-
ed to be patrodEfng, which the
Thoughtful foreign Student finds dis
agreeable. Some are woefully ignor-
ant >about other peoples, and are,
therefore. narrow iii their view of for
eigners. In the main, however, think
the people are quite courteous to Chi
nese students. The latter appreciate
their courtesy. In the colleges we are
treated with much, consideration by
both professors and students. I am
glad to say that the Chinese students
are easily adapted ito American Gus
toms and manners. This makes pleas
ant social intercourse much easier. Be-
sides, most of our students are, gen.

At any rate, in the custody of the

much persuasion has been expended
with view OF their liberation,
The powers that be, however, have

Ink Stockings With Many Super
stitiOns

Stockings figure in some curious SUI
perstitions touching old custom, es-
pscially those connected with mar
rage. Everyone knows that there
are actions both lucky and unlucky.
Among the former 1t is commonly
held that to put on any article Of
clothing wrong side out is decided
j sign II good luck; but it must be
lone accidentally, and when the
mistake is found out no change
must be made, else the luck will
Immediately vanish. This idea 10
very firmly held about stockings,
probably because it is more easy to
make such mistake in putting on
a stocking than donning other gar
nents. It would be hard, indeed,
for a woman to put on her dress or
a man his coat or vest inside out
withoutnoticing what he was doing.
Sometimes folks are to be found
who have upon the common notion
u who have even reversed it.
Another superstition touching the
use Of hose is connected with dream
ing. This is a Scotch notion. II a
person be abont to sleep in q bed
that he or she has never slept in be-
fore, the certainty Of dreaming can
assuredby placing the stocking taken
off the right foot under the head.
Not only will the sleeper be sure to
dream, but the dream will certain
come to pass.
OF the superstitions attached to
marriage ceremonies, most people
have heard Of throwing the stock
ings. This rite would hardly pc
regarded now as consistent with
modern notions Of decorum, but it
was highly popular in iormsr days.
The ceremony was performed atthe
conclusion Of the wedding days fes-

This concerted official action COW
cred the United States from the At

lakes to the gulf. Many Of the per-
sons to be arrested are prominent
commercially and socially in their
communities. Some are leading ply

men who live by their wits and are
comparatively little known; one is
a chinaman, who is alleged to have
practiced his calling upon women Of
his own race and upon those Of the
lower strata Of society.
All OF the arrests were to be made
for alleged violation of section 211 of
the penal code of the United States,
which bars from the mails any vile
or obscene matter, whether sealed
or unsealed: any advertisement,
letter or circular proposing or sug-
costing criminal practices; or any
packet containing any substance,
drug or thing intended to be used
for immoral or unlawful purposes.
