Special Engineering Courses

In order to bring the work of the
electrical engineering course of the
College up to the standard set by
the leading technical schools of the
East, and to meet the rapidly in
creasing demand for men trained
in telephone work, the College has
established course in Telephone
and Telegraph engineering. One
aim Of the course is to make stu
dents familiar with the electrical
and mechanical features and the
working principles Of the modern
telephone plant. The switchboards
and line circuits used by the Bell
company and the Independent COM
panies are discussed and studied
in detail. The Postal and the
Western Union telegraph systems
are also taken up. Furthermore,
as much time as is available is Civ
en- to study Of railway signaling
by means Of the telegraph and tel
ephone. In order to make the
course as practical as possible, a
study is made of pole lines and
aerial and underground conduit
construction of systems that are in
actual operation, and inspection
trips are made to large telephone
exchanges.
Mr.. II. H. Hillegass, instructor
in electrical engineering, who has
charge of the course, is peculiarly
fitted for the work because as tel
ephone engineer for the Bell Tele-
phone Company for three years,
with headquarters at Pittsburg, he
planned and constructed several
large underground and aerial
plants in the western part Of Penn
sylvania.

Locally, however, the Association

WAS WOMAN OF GREAT CHARM
Empress Josephine One OF the Most
Remarkable Personages of His
torical Record.

While the Empress Josephine had
one million francs year for her pri-
vate purse, it is well-known fact
that she was always in debt, and
while this led to stormy scenes with
Napoleon, and beyond doubt she had
an extravagant wardrobe, it must not
be supposed that she spent this sum
entirely upon herself, as it is esti-
mated that she supported more than
two thousand poor people in addition
to helping many needy aristocrats
who had suffered under the revolu-
ton.
1t is said that she owned several
hundred hats and bonnets which were
peculiarly becoming to her, and paid
her hairdresser six thousand francs a.
year. OF course, the preservation Of
her wonderful charm caused the
spending of many hours a day in her
boudoir, from which all but few
favorite waiting women were ex-
GUIDED So successful was she, in adj
dition to her own wonderful personal
ity, that at the age of forty, and a
grandmother, when arrayed in sim
pie white mousseline and string of
pearls, her husband exclaimed at her
loneliness and said he would be jeal-
Gus.

A Word to Literary Critics.

Critics will show you how such and
such writer repeated the thoughts
of Kant or Hegel, or used the phras-
ing of Dante or Milton, or stole the
plots Of Boccaccio or Guy de Maupas-
SAINT. They often prove their wide
reading, they sometimes demonstrate
their sagacity, but they do not justify
their existence as critics unless they
go further than this, for the genius
OF authorship declares itself less un-
mistakably in gifts shared with fore
runners or contemporaries than in
gifts peculiar to itself Walt Whit
man or William Wordsworth is neither
understood nor calculated when his
possible pilferings have been listed;

SUBSTITUTION.


The fmitator is like the coun-
terfeiter. He enters the field of
business with a cheaper, lower
grade article of merchandise,
made as a substitute for the gen.
uine. and generally sold at a
cheaper price. arguing, as usual,
that it is ''just as good" The
dealer is persuaded to handle it
on glowing promises of enormous
profits-much larger than the reg
made on the genuine article. The
imitator succeeds in playing upon
mans natural avarice, places his
goods on sale with the dealer, and
of the public by substituting the
false article for the genuine at
every opportunity. You can be
pretty sure that whenever you
ask for a well-known product and
the dealer tells you he has some
thing else that's just as good, or
even better, the dealer is going to
make a greater profit on that ar
ticle than the one you call for.
and in nine cases out of ten you
will get a much inferior article.
Some buyers are easily imposed
upon and this encourages the
get-rich-quick'' schemers to in
crease their substitutions. This
manufactures who is putting out
articles of merchandise that rep
resent honest value to the con-
sumner. Where a man has devoted
years of his life. in perfecting an
article that he knows cannot be
excelled in quality; where he has
spent thousands of dollars in adj
Yertising his goods; and where
these goods have been giving uni
versal satisfaction for long
time, great injury results by per-
hitting substitution to rob him
of his market and at the same
time rob the consumer by selling
him a doubtful article at praeti-
ca1ly the same price.
There is no law through which
such evil practices can be stopped.
The sole remedy is for the legiti-
mate manufacturers to ask the
public direct not to patronize
dealers who try to substitute a
different brand of goods for the
kind wanted. All first class deal
ers know that it is poor business
to try to substitute something
else for the article wanted.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitution
al remedies. Deafness is caused by
an inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian tube. When
this tube is inf1amed you can hear a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing
and when it is entirely closed, deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
Illumination can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
