E. Benjamin Andrews chancellor of the Nebraska Univereity, the learned free silverite, who tried in 1896 and in 1900 to oat Bryan on hie heresies, has renounced the white metal and manfully says “I was in great and inexcusable error.” This is only what nine out of every ten level headed men predicted at the time. That a few still ding to the fali&oy is a wonder. After a laborious search of the eoriptnres for a justification of the tobacco habit, a man, who started in with the first ohapter of Genesis, but reaohed the last ohapter of Revelation without finding anything worthy of note, was swaying on the verge of despair, when in the middle of the eleventh of the second olause, he paused, read twioe, slapped his leg, took a fresh ohew ani read aloud: “He that is filthy let him be filthy still ” Pansy From Parr. One of the cleverest things among the specialties introduced into “Pansy from Parr” is the German character sketoh whioh will be given by Messrs Orlan and Van Grant. They have a genius for singing, danoing and burlesque, and haye worked up an aot that is great. There oostumes are fresh from over the Rhine and will give yon a good laugh. Roger Brothers are not in it with them. Gome 'out and hear them.

Net a Genius But an Idiot.

According to a floating item that is going the rounds of the newspaper: “A genius has been figuring out how many ancestors a man has. First he takes your father and motner-that makes two human beings. Each of these must also have a father and mother—that makes four more human being. Each of them must have had a father and mother-and that makes eight more human beings. So he goes on baok fifty-six generations whioh brings him to the time of Jesus Christ. The calculation thus resulting shows that 130,235,017,489,534,976,458 births must have taken plaoe in order to bring you into this word —you who read these lines.” All of whioh is the rankest nonsense, and based on the assumption that all of every per sons’ ancestors were totally unrelated to every other one, even in the remotest degree. As a matter of fact if the human raoe has existed on the earth a million years and all that time contained as many people as it now does, there would not have been one millionth as many people born in that million years, as are given in the above figures as being born in less than two thousand years. At the earth’s present population 40,000,000 births a year keep it up. At that rate it would require over 3,000,000,000,000 years for as many people to be born as the alleged “genius” figures for a paltry 20 centuries.

Name Not Acceptable.

“Dunkards,” the name by whioh they are most commonly known, is not aooeptable to the plain people who are holding their national oonfereuoe at Bellefontaine, Ohio, whioh wilj continue through this week. Neither do they like to be called Dunkera or German Bap tists, and one of the matters to be considered will be the changing of the ohurob to the plain and simple title of Brethren. The oharoh was organized in Germany in 1708 and in 1719 they commenced emigrating to America and formed a settlement around Germantown and Philadelphia, in Psansylania . From this nucleus the ohuroh has rapidly grown until now members of the aeot live in every state; but they are more numerous iu Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, lowa, Missouri and Kansas. The general oouferenoe is also au annual reunion, and it is expected that fully 50.000 people will be at Bellefontaine on some dayß before the meeting oloses.— Elkhart Review.

Farmers’ Picnic Excursion to Purdue.

, ( The annual farmers’ picnic excursion to Lafayette to visit the agricultural experiment station at Purdue University, and the university itself, will be held next Friday, J une 12 th. Arrangements have been made for one and onethird fare round tpp tickets-to Lafayette, on June 11th and 12th, and good returning to und including June 13th. Requests for tickets should be made early so that the loonl agent will have time to aeonre them if he has not already done so.

Guides will meet all trains arriving in Lafayette on June 12th, and oondnot visitors to the Station whioh is located at Purdue University on the west aide of the Wabash river abont a mile and a half from the oity. Street oars run every fifteen minutes from the depots directly to the Station. Upon arriving at the Station, visitors will be shown thiongh the various laboratories and over the farm. The Experiment Station officers will lay aside their regular duties on that day and will be at your servioe to explain the work of the dfferent departments and aid in any way possible to make your trip pleasant and profitable. While the objeot of the excursion is primarily to enable visitors to see the buildings and grounds of the Experiment Station, it will also afford the young men and wofnen of the state an exoellent opportunity to inspect the splendidly equipped laboratories of the University proper whioh enables the institution to give suoh thorough training iu industrial subjects. Ample provisions will be made for the oare of lunoh baskets and wraps, and suitable places for eating luaohes will be provided. Those who do not care to bring Innoh can get meals at the various hotels and restaurants in the city and West Lafayette. Xt is hoped that a large number of farmers and others will avail themselves of this opportunity to visit the Station. Nearly every farmer will find some line of work in progress in whioh he will be especially interested and tfhich he oan inspect with both pleasure and profit. The Agricultural Experiment Station is oondudted sorely for the purpose of aiding the farmer. This is aooomplished principally by the performance of carefully planned experiments directly connected with the agrioulural interests of the state and publishing the results secured. A farm of about one hundred IflNa i»« and thirty aorea is set apart for experimental purposes and on this will be found growing various farm crops under a great many different conditions. There can be seen for example, twenty or thirty different varieties of wheat growing side by side under exaotly the same conditions and offering the best possible means of judging as to the varieties best adapted to Indiana conditions.
