Gibbon like length nd epic glories, Lika mammoth n4 ce bears, are gone. Earth brings not back the mastodon; The microbe taken it plane. Tbey kdl us Not by a giant, but bacillus. Monster, huge dragon, Laid'y worma, We fear no 'tia unseen "genoa" That floor u in our full pride. We want a "Jack the Germicide," And uoi the giant killer now.

"I!" she faltered, making a little g--ture with her band -a gesture of scorn and hurt dignity. "I haunt your win dow, man! I." The acorn expressed In that soft con temptuous tone of slow disdain would have cut a less sensitive man to the quick, especially her way of anylng "man!"

"My daughter, my daughter, do not be hasty. You forget thi' " And the white -haired old rector drew his daughter to his side and murmured something. To Whining' amazement the ex pression of haughty auger and Insult ed pride instantly faded from the girl's face, giving place to one of pensive sadness, a when one recalls 'some tender memory Inseparable from sor row.

Economy, de cency, manliness and earnestness seem to lie inculcated here a much a twsik learning. I was told by several fellows that from f"5o to f l,.Vsi js-r annum was ample to meet the entire e xwnw of a young mutt at Cambridge.

The stories those young men Udd me of the extravagance of col lege students In the t'nlted Htati-, If true, were enough to make tis out of conceit with the higher schools of our own country.
