DRINKING PEARLS
MAKES EXPENSIVE
DINNER PASTIME
Cleopatra was not tho first to drink
n pearl.
According to riiny, the practice be
nu, known before Cleopatra's time
lu!u t was found that the liquor
formed by dissolving n pearl has a de
Helens flavor. In fact, the solution
became a favorite beverage at tho
time of the Emperor Claudius.
IVrhaps tho 1,,ost Interesting in
stance of "pearl drinking" is one
cited by Burr, Tatterson & Co., frater
nity j. wtlors of Detroit, which con
cerns Sir Thomas Gresham, a wealthy
Ximlish merchant of tho timo of
Queen Elizabeth. Tho story has it
Hint on a certain occasion, the Span
ish ambassador at the English court
toenail to bras loudly of tho vast
wealth of his own sovereign. Where
upon, the loyal Sir Thomas proudly
jeplied that tho English Queen had
subjects who spent as much at one
mad as tho daily revenue of the
Spanish Kins end all his grandess
put together.
Shortly afterwards, the ambassador
was invited to dine with Sir Thomas
when the feast was at its height,
the latter grandly took from his pock
et a pearl for which he had refused
$75,000, ground it to a owder, and
drank it in a glass of wine as a toast
to good Queen Elizabeth. History

doea not tell us what tho chagrined
Spauis envoy did after witnessing tis
spectacle, but it Is mifo to nay that he
thenceforth left to others tho extoll
lug of Ids country's walth,
v A certain belief in tho unlucky at
tributes of pearls, which, however,
seems to havo gained little headway,
Is said to bo founded on, tho discovery
that tho stono was formed around a
grain of sand lodged in the flesh or
tho mollusk and consequently could
only bo had at tho expense of suffer
ing. A more plausible explanation, how
ever, seems to bo that tho great dif
ficulty which tho ancient jewel set
ters had in setting the stono without
cracking it often caused them much
"suffering" at the hands of a hard
master when they were unsuccessful.
History shows, in spito of these
theories, that almost from timo im
memorial, the pearl has been consid
ered n beautiful jewel with a most
romantic history. Tho Persian oot
Saadl says of its origin that a drop
of water fell into the sea and was so
overcome at its own significance that
a kind shell received it and it became
a magnificent pearl worthy of a king's
diadem.
An old Chinese tradition tells us
that a rainbow gradually descended
to earth in the form of an immense
pearl, but that in falling it was shat
tered into innumerable perfect frag
ments, which have given the world its
pearls ever since.
Alumni Notes.
Dean J. E. Le Uossignol left Thurs
day for Philadelphia, where he will
attend the national association of col
legaite schools of business, in session
May 4, 5, and 6.
Mr. May and Mr. Lambert, repre
senting the Northwestern ell Tele
phone company, will address members
cf the college of business administra
tion in regard to their field in the
near future. Arrangements are being
made for a series of such talks in or
dor that students may acquaint them
selves of the opportunities in the dif
ferent fields and professions for per
inanent employment.
Prof. Henry F. Osborn of Columbia
university has published a paper based
upon materials found by Harold J.
Cook in Pliocene deposits south of
Agate, Siox county, Neb. The mater
ial is that of an advanced man-like
ape which could scarcely have been
expected in Nebraska. This specimen
was found by Mr. Cook four or five
years ago and was recently given to
Professor Osborn. It is counted a
very important and unexpected dis
covery. Certificates of honorary recognition
were bestowed on C. H. Morrill of
Stroinsburg, George W. Holdrege of
Omaha and F. W. Chase of Pawnee
City at the recent school of agricul
ture commencement. The bestowal
was according to a provision made by
the University cf Nebraska a year
or two ago, by which t'y agricultural
college is permitted to honor certain
men by issuing a testimonial of appre
ciation indicating their distinguished
service to the development of agricul
ture. Mr. Holdrege and Mr. Chase
wore present in person to receive the
recognition, but Mr. .Morrill was pre
venied from illness from coming to
Lincoln. In writing to Mr. Morrill af
ter the event. Dean E. A. urnett, head
of the agricultural college, wrote:
' The university feels that it is hon
oring itself by giving recognitions to
the sterling qualities of men who have
helped to build the agriculture of this
state and to develop its colleges and
universities. Few men have had so
noble a part in this development as
vou. and this certificate Is but a small
token of our appreciation of your emi
nent services.
W. G. Whitmore, ex regent of the
university, formerly of Valley but
now living in Lincoln, and S. C. as-
sett of Gibbon, had previously been
honored according to this plan.
The university extension division is
distributing to the bankers over the
state a bulletin on "What to Read
on Banking," compiled by F. B. Wolfe
of the college of Business administra
tion. Arrangements havo been made for
a series of lectures on play grounds
to be given to summer school stu
dents, June 8, 9 and 12 by Mrs. Susie
Rhodes of Washington, D. C. Mrs.
Rhodes is superintendent of play
grounds for the District of Columbia.
These lectures will be in the social
science building and will be illus
trated. Dr. A. A. Reed, director of univer
sity extension and head of the sum
mer sessions, reports that many stu
dents are registering for the summer
term by mail. By doing this, the stu
dent saves himself the time and trou
ble of waitir.3 in line.

And I can stand a loan.

Bad Break in Half Mile.
In the half mile relay race, the
1 tuskers had a bad break In luck and
had to be satisfied with second place.
Up to the last 220 yards, the Huskers
were leading by a comfortable mar
gin, and seemed to have the race
won. However, Noble and Smith lost
too much time because of hard luck
in passing the baton. Smith ran a
beautiful race, and finished a close
second in spite of the handicap.
Herbert Gish captured third honors
in the 120-yard high hurdles, a special
event. Gish won first in one of the
two divisions in the prelime on Fri
day, and then topped this feat by
winning third place in the finals on
Saturday. Baldwin placed fourth in
one division of the 100-yard dash in
the prelims Friday. The victor of this
division, Hays of Notre Dame, copped
first place in the finals.
The feature of the big athletic carn
ival, in which forty-eight schools were
entered in the University and college
section, was the record-breaking teats
in the four-mile relay, the high jump,
and the javelin throw.
' The world's record in the four-mile
relay was shattered when the Illinois
team (Yates, Patterson, and Whar
ton) crossed the line in 17:45, six and
one-fifth seconds faster than the prev
ious . world's record. The Illinois
milers, who averaged 4:26, ran at a
"man-killing" pace, and were far in
the lead when the run was ended.
The Ulnois milers were in training in
the south for two weeks previous to
the meet.
Javelin Record Smashed.

Osborne, pulled the second big sur

It 202 feet, 10 Inches. This throw has
never been surpassed except by the

Individual honors of the meet were
divided between two Olympic sfirs,
Bradley of Kansas ami Hamilton of
Missouri. Bradley took first in the
broad jump and shot put, and second
place in the 120-yard high hurdles

its rough exterior in mulo, attrac
tive lines, makes a fitting appearance
for such a memorial on the Nebraska
campus. It was designed by Proles
sor Barbour and erected of Sioux
quartzite boulders left near Lincoln
by glaciers. The ccmpl. 'e cost was
around one hundred do'lars.
"The Clock" on the library huildina
was purchased by tl.e class nf 1012
and is designed to bo opera led by
electricity, but th regulation is dif

There has been some talk of razing
the dignified old iron fence which
encloses that portion of the campus
known as the original land grant. Op
position has brought out tho story of
its erection. It was during the first
year of Chancellor Canfield's odmin
istration in 1SSU, that it was necessary
to erect this fence to prevent the
grazing of the neighborhood cattle on
the campus. A story is told on a
member of the faculty at that time
and runs somewhat as follows: An
absent minded professor walking on
the campus, with his nose in a book,
deeply interested in a particular ar
ticle, suddenly bumps into something
and with exaggerated politenesses
lifts his hat, bows and says, "I beg
