Tl«/v» T<»ni Srott llirta. An intevosiinx is told Ity T. C. Curtis of Lowville, Colnmbi.i -county, about Tom Scott, the millionaire lumberman, who died some years a^o. Mr. Curtis came to Wisconsin in the forties and enguKed in hauling goods from Milwaukee to the pineries. While in Milwaukee be met a young man who had fallen into ill luck. He had a few laud warrants, however, from which he hoped to realize a few hundred dollars. These warrants were given to Mr. Curtis to sell. He afterward disposed of them for several times the amount the young man had expected to receive for them. In the meantime the young fellow had gone to New York city. The money was forwarded to him and reached him in a very opportune time, being the moans of placing him in a position where lie became, later, the head of one of the largest drygoods firms in the great metropolis. Some years afterward Mr. Curtis vis ited New York, wlitrc he was joyously received and royally entertained by the merchant prince whom ho had “placed on his feet,” as ho himself expressed it, a few years before. Tom Scott at this time had a sort of store at “the Rapids,” but his slock had so dwindled down that ho remarked to Curtis that he would have to do some hard scratching in order to obtain a new stock. Curtis, remembering his New York friend, signed a joint note with Scott and obtained from the gentleman the desired goods. “That,” says Mr. Curtis, “was Tom Scott’s starter in life.''—Milwaukee Wisconsin.

Stock of

The Butcher and His Customers. “What ’re legso’ mutton selling for?” ariked Qriddlerack, entering the butcher’s shop of Cleaves. Cleaves looks about him cautiously and then whispers, “We’re asking 14, but we'll let you have it for 13.” ‘'Come now, ’’ says Qriddlerack.‘‘none of your shinanigans. You just sold a leg to Rabbage for 13 * 1 - 2 . ” To this Cleaves promptly replies: ‘ ‘ Rut not for tmeh mutton as this. I could sell yon such mutton as I sold to Rabbage for 10 cents—if I had any left.” “Nonsense! I saw you when you cut it off, and 1 know it came off the same sheep that this did. ” Cleaves—You're asiiarp one, you are, Qriddlerack. There’s no getting the start o' you. And nobody wants to. Leastwise, I don’t. Let mo tell you the dead truth about it, Qriddlerack. Rabbage's leg did come off the same critter, and I did sell him for 13!£, but what’s a fellow going to do? Rabbage is such a confoundedly close buyer, it’s next to impossible to sell him. So when he came in just now I put the price way down, but ho didn’t get ahead of me so much as he thought he was going to. 1 cheated him on the w- ight—see? Qriddlerack—Oh, ih-tso? All right then; I’ll take that ieg —Rostcn Transcript. A European Idea. One of the most characteristic features of European prisons as a whole is that prisoners are allowed to have a portion of their earnings. This system prevails in France, Qcrmauy, Italy, Switzerland, Russia, Sweden, Denmark and other countries. The amount earned by the prisoners varies considerably where it depends upon piecework. In France the average salary of the prisoner is 86 cents a day. Of this amount the prisoner is allowed to spend oue-half while in prison for supplementary food and clothing, postage, etc., though no expenditure is made without the approval of the administration. The other half is reserved until the time of his discharge. A three years’ prisoner has to his credit on leaving an average of f60, a four years’ prisoner $70 and a five years’ prisoner about $00.—Chicago Record. Kxperlmentlng* Some gentlemen, cruising round a part of the Irish coast, observing that about the same hour every day a boat containing two men and a woman took its passengers from the shore, and after a shore time returned with them, inquired the reason. “My men,” said one, “what makes you come out here every day? Is it that you like it so much?” “Oh, your honor, not at all, but, your honor, the wife and me’s going soon to Anstraly, and so we’re just practicing the saysickness, that we may be used to it when we start. ” “Well, and do you find yourselves improving?” “Ah, sure, your honor, the wife’s ill every day,but she’s getting on purtily!” —Strand Magazine.

First Bight of a Railway Train. A country boy who was brought up in a remote region of Scotland had occasion to accompany his father to a village near which a branch line of railway paases. The morning after his arrival, when sauntering in the garden behind the house in which they were staying, he beheld with wondering eyes a train go by. For a moment he stood staring ! at it with astonishment, and then, running into the house, he said: “Fayther, faythcr, coineoot. There’s a smiddy ran off wi’ a row o' houses, an it’s awa' doon by the back o’ the town.”—London Telegraph.

Oat of Ills Line. The Horton Transcript reports that two gentlemen fell into a talk about books. ■ “What do you think of the ‘Origin of Rpecies?’ ” asked one man. i “I have never read it,” was the other’s reply. “In fact,” he added, “I am not interested in financial subjects. ”

Literary Versatility. An editor received the other day a curious appli .ation for help. The writer said: ‘Tam sox ry you do not like my romance, for I feel that I have the secret fire in my veins. If, however, you cannot accept my book or my poetry, will you give me a berth as a heavy goods norter?”—London Bookman.

On a call front Dr. Stephenson and Col. Weaver the students of the departments of histojy and political economy met yesterday afternoon and organized a Seminarian) Protective association. The pur pose of the organization is to stop the pillage of books amt preserve order in the seminarium. A set of stringent bylaws were passed which will certainly pui an end to practices that have recently’ become so hu-tfut to the efficiency of the seminariutn. C. D. Hail was elected president, Watson I^ewis vice presi dent. Miss Mahan secretary. The following committee was appointed to see that the rules of the association are enforced: Misses Ritter, Reeves, and Messrs. Poor, F. Hall, Shi reman, Murray and C. Meade. The bylaws of the organization will be printed and hung in the eeminarium in a few days. The penalties for violation of the by laws will range from reprimand to expulsion from the department in which the person is working in pro portion to the character of the crime. The officers of the association pledge themselves to enforce the rules to the letter. The Glee club met for practice last night in music hall. Next Friday is Founders’ and Benefactors’ day. Rev. Parkhurst, of Chicago, formerly pastor of Col lege Avenue church, will speak in Meharry hall on that day. Several students will go to Indi anapolia Saturday to hear the fain ous Paderewski. Messrs. Daggy, Royse and Meade have begun to work together for the debate on the 22nd of next month. Don’t fail to attend the union meeting of the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. tonight at 6 :30. The students who intend taking work in Dr. Bigham’s departments next semester, should see him to morrow. Frank Roller has received word that his father is dangerously ill. Harry Hill will not he in school any more this year. Where is the DePnuw Weekly. There will be no representative from the freshman class on the college oratorical. Messrs. Pulse and Haynes have returned from Anderson. The art work has been begun on the ‘97 Mirage. Miss McDougal, of Washington, who entered Tuesday wear* Alpha Phi colors. The contestants for tha college oratorical which will be held on the 2fth, met in Philo hall this aiternoon and chose judges. Dr. liobln’* Tribute. The Central Christian Advocate ot St. Louis, devotes n page to the late Dr. John W. Locke, with con trihulions by several distinguished writers. Dr. Gohin says in part. Dr. Locke was professor of mathematics in DePnuw university from INtiO to 1*72 He. was in the best sense of the word a popular professor, lie was I not distinguished by the peculiarity of j his methods of instruction so much as j by a strong and inspiring personality, j which made a deep impression fnr good , upon the mind and heart of every stui dent, he was a very loveable teacher, j He lilled the lecture room with an at • i mosphere of sunshine and good fellowship. * * * * At that time it was the custom to . have a lecture in the college chapel on Sunday afternoons. Whenever it was Dr. Locke’s turn to lecture, tnere was j -lire to be a special interest and increase | in attendance on the part of the students and the community in general. The superiority «>f Dr. Locke’s lectures maybe inferred from the value of ids subjects. Some of his old students still remember Ins impressive lecture on “The Perpetuity’ of the Sabbath.” lie gave two able lectures on “Spiritual Light,” the first on its necessity and I the second on ita nature. He also gave | two lectures on “'1 he English Bible ! and its Translator).” A very impressive lecture was that on “’Ilie Bible, the Sword and the Praver-hook.' 1 * • » His career in this university as a professor was a most valuable period in his life work. He is well remembered by his many students as an exalted | type of noble manhood. The kindness

of his smile, the sparkle of his eye. r.i d the tatherly alleclio i indicated in the tones of his voice wdl abide in the memory ol all w ho wore so fortunate as to enjoy his instructions. He was evidently capable of a higher grade of work than was ever assigned to him bv the church, hut it remains a most gratifying consideration with hi' friends t hat he tilled w ith complete competency and faithlillness even’ obligation of Idlife. Napoleon’s Generosity. Coimt de P had been raised by Bonaparte to honors and dignities, hut for some unaccountable reason ho betrayed the coniideuee which his patrou had reposed in him. When Bonaparte became cognizant of the man’s treachery, he ordered him to bo arrested. He was to have been tried the following day and in all probability ho would have been enndi limed, as his guilt was fully established. In the meantime Mnie. de P solicited and obtained an audience of the emperor. “I am very sorry for your sake, madamo,” he said, “that your husband should he mixed up in an affair which places his ingratitude in so glaring a light.” “Perhaps he is not so guilty as your majesty supposes," said the countess. “Do yon know your husband’s signature?” inquired the emperor, taking a letter out of his pocket and handing it to her. Mine, de P rapidly perused the letter, recognized the handwriting and fell into a swoon. When she came around. Bonaparte put the letter into her hands, saying: “Take it. This is the only legal evidence that exists against your husband. There is a lighted fire behind you.” The countess quickly snatched up the important document and threw it into the flames. P ’s life was saved, but as for his honor, not all the influence of a generous emperor could avail to restore it.—Chicago Daily News. Glad to Hee Him. New members of congress feel shy and lonesome. To be thrust suddenly in among almost 400 members, many of whom they have never seen, and only a few of whom they have ever heard of, is rather a trying experience. To make a speech under these conditions takes some courage. James Kerr, ex-member of congress from Pennsylvania, recently told of his experience in going into congress for the first time. He came down from Pennsylvania raw and green. He sat in his seat for several days, and in that time managed to pick up a formal speaking acquaintance with one or two of his neighbors. One day he was sitting in his seat, disconsolate, listening to the reading of some tiresome bill, when the member who sat next to him, wjio had served two terms, eame in like a breeze and said cheerily: “Hello, Jim.” Mr. Kerr wheeled in his chair and said eagerly: “Say that again, will yon, old man? It sounds like home." “Well, Jim, let’s go down to Murrayville and talk about home.” The reference to Murrayville is unintelligible to the outsider, but Mr. Kerr had learned by that time that the name referred to the house restaurant, whers oysters and the cup that cheers were tc be had, and they wended their way down stairs.—New York Tribune.

Making the Round of Hoof Beats. In these days of war plays and stage realism the sound of hoof beats is worked into pretty nearly every melodrama. Very few people know how the effect is produced, and very few, too, could make the noise right even if they had the apparatus. It takes quite a lot of practice to be a good "horse,” as it is called. The necessary outfit consists of a table on which is a long marble slab covered with rubber graduated from an inch thick down to the thinness of n piece of paper. The operator has strapped to each hand half a cocoanut shell, on the edge of which is fastened a horseshoe. He starts in pounding them on the thick rubber to imitate hoof beats in the dis- ; tance and gradually works along to the ‘ thin part as they are supposed to come nearer, and finally ends up with a clatter on the bare stones as the horse is pulled up just ontside the scene. This is considered generally to be the most effective of all the hoof beat machines.—New York Herald. And Than He Proposed. There had been n brief interval of silence, and be felt that he ought to say something. “I see that the students of sociology have figured it out,” ho began, “that education”— He paused as if in doubt whether he ought to proceed, “Yes?" she said encouragingly. —“that education is having a bad effect upon matrimony, ” he continued’, “especially the education of women.” “I never did believe in too much education,’’ said she softly. She waited for him to speak, but he said nothing. “I’m glad I never know my lessous. anyway," she added. Home men are slow to take a hint, hut they are quick to understand when they are hit with an ax. He saw the point.—Chicago Post. India Rubber Tree Fruit. The fruit of the india rubber tree is somewhat similar to that of the Ricinus communis, the castor oil plant, though somewhat larger. The seeds have a not disagreeable taste and yield a purplish oil. It is a fairly good substitute for linseed oil, though it dries less rapidly. Mixed with eopal blue and turpentine, it makes a good varnish. The oil may be also used in the manufacture of soaps and lithographic inks. The seeds are somewhat like tiny chestnuts, although darker in color. The Indiau girls are fond of wearing bracelets and necklets made of them.
