There Is absolutely nothing doing In social
circles thcso torrid July days , Everybody
who ran Is going or hns gene nwny , leaving
only n few well known people In town , and
these nro considering "n ledge In some vast
wilderness , n vast contiguity of shade" ns
the only thing loft for such ns thoy. Last
wcoit's terrific weather caused u change
in n great many plans on the
part of the people who had resolved to spend
thusumm'orat homo. Whatever other ad
vantages the Onto City has over the rest of
creation its summer climate Is not one of
them nnd the tonic of a chnngo of nlr nnd

comforts of summer resort llfo , so ludicrously

seemed n veritable bank of ( lowers and

lights with reflecting mirrors , cooled the
atmosphere nnd added brilliancy to the
sceno. The saloon wns transformed Into n

The autumn boforcVlorcnco's death , dur
ing n visit to his old friend Jefferson , Mrs.
Cleveland ran down from Now York with
Mrs , Daniel 1-ainont for a quiet fortnight In
which to enjoy Gray Gables nnd talk over
the projected improvements which were
shortly thereafter begun. The evenings
woto spent alternately at the now house or
nt Mr. Jefferson's place , nnd when nt the
hitter , ns mny bo imagined , Mrs. Clovolnnd's
entertainers loft nothing undone to con
tribute to her amusement. One evening the
Indies were loft to their own devices for
what seemed n very long quarter of un hour.
Suddenly the drawing room floors opened
nnd Jefferson appeared costumed us Romeo
to go through the most romantic nnd tragic
portions of the play to Florence's Juliot.

"Vnssnr has been very fortunate In Its
Omaha girls , " said the Greek professor , as
fresh from Nebraska prairies I stodd before
her ; "wo shall oxpcct you to keep up their
record. "
It won't bo Omaha's fault If I fal , " I nu-
s we red , "because our high school is the best
In the United Status.
She said that she could easily believe that ,
judging from the representatives it had
already sent.
As the year wont by I learned to appro-
elate more nnd moro the advantages of hav
ing biien n student iu the Omaha High
school. It had given such thorough training ,
especially in mathematics and the classics ,
that college work was a ulousuro , not a
struggle.
rlho lessons were long enough to keep us
busy all the week. On Friday nights the
"girls throw books nsiao and blossom out In
all colors of evening gowns. Kvcii the pale
girl wns'jes the ink from her lliiirors , nnd
fopgets to talk algebra at the table. After
dinner comes concert , lecture , banquet , re-
certlou , play , teas or fudges.
Fudges uro distinctly a college product ,
Some ono has described thorn' ns "caramels
cpollod iu the making. " They are made in a
tin pan over a gas jut. They contain milk ,
sugar and chocolate. They are good. The
girls tuod to make the confection at all
hours ' , but , slnco the authorities have
turned of ! thogns during daylight , they
mnko It only after dark.
Another unfortunate consequence of the
gas scarcity is that the girls cannot curl
tholr tholr hair if they sloop late In the
morning , 1 quota n poem on the subject !
"A. 'OAS'-TLT KHSODR. "
I.
I loved n mnlden fair to see.
Whoso hrxlr , In charming ringlets curling ,
Thnt caught the sunlight goldenly ,
Wns dear to mo ns Kngllsh sterling. (
n. .
1 love no moro that mnlden lenrn'd ,
Straight locks can no'or my heart Imprison
Ah , wou be unto them thnt turned
The gns off o'er my love hail rlsqn !
These lines hint nt nnothor feature of
every girls' college , namely "crushes. " Ono
girl Is "crushed" on another when she fnlls
suddenly nnd deeply In love with hor. The
only saving element of n "crush" is its
brevity. The genuine article Insts two
weeks , sometimes thrco. But while it lasts !
Pity , unaffected friends.
The faculty think ' -crushes" demoralizing.
At at any rate "to do n cruih well" costs
inonoy as well as self respect. The "crushed"
ono always a freshman sends candy , flow
ers and molting tittle notes to her adored
generally n senior. Huylor's best nnd double
Violets do not suit n slender purse.
A slender purse Is hard to bo suited any-
whoro. At Vassnr ono can bo very economi
cal. I know of ono frugal Now England
maiden whose expenses excluding railroad
faro and the WOO duu for tuition , board nnd
washing , were less thnn $15 for the whole
year. To bo sure , she did not belong to any
societies , nor buy crinolined abominations
lor Enstor Sunday , nor indulgoln "crushes , "
nor glvo tons and receptions , nor hire n
safety , nor go to the senior auction.
The senior auction was hold to raise money
for class day. An old letter from Richard
Harding Davis sold forl. > . Ninety-throe's
china pug with ono lame foot brought (5. F.
Hopklnson Smith's dance program forPhlln-
lothoan day went , for $2.75.
Philalcthoau day and Founder's day nro
the two great gala days of the college year.
Then it is tnnt Harvard , Yale nnd Princeton
appear at Vnssar in dross suits and embar
rassment.
During the evening's lecture the girls , "who
hnvo no guests , sit iu the gallery nnd criti
cally survey the youths and maidens erf the
main floor. After the lecture como refresh
ments and promenades. Round dances are
vetoed.
Last Founder's day I had my program full
of girls , except the seventh , which was re
served for a fair haired little actor from
Plttsburg. Unluckily I sought him too lato.
I reached the Juno's head , where nnrtuors
wore changed , In tlrao to see him disappear
i among the shifting throng with my best
friend on his arm. I could never hnvo for
given her if she had not brought htm back
in time to glvo mo u live minutes chat. Ho
seemed dazzled and delighted with every
thing. When I suggested that ho must find
it stupid to meet so many strangers ,
nnd to have no dancing , ho protested that ho
liked It. Ho wished that thcro were eight
times eight promenadesl nnd that ho had n
dllTorcnt girl every time. His special hostess
had instructed him to tnko every girl hemet
mot into supper. He faithfully made the
effort , but providentially the supper room
was too crowded most ot the time.
Speaking of refreshments reminds tno of
the democratic banquet which was given
after the election last November. Most of
the faculty are democrats , but the students
have a republican majority. Before the
election this majority held a glorious rally.
It was called n torchlight procession. They
hud no torches nnd the line of march was
through the college halls. Otherwise the
event \vas up to the standard with flags ,
floats , tin horns , yells and speeches. Tno
girls seemed to enjoy most of all the chance
to shout.
After the election they were wonderfully
still , until'tho Greek play in the spring gave
all nnothor opportunity for enthusiasm.
The play wns a great success. When It
was over the Vassar girls in the audience
rushed behind the scones to congratulate
their mates who had taken part. The tall
girl who hud impersonated Croon , was
standing in the center of nn oxcltod group.
A young man pressed his way through them
to Crcon , throw his' arras around her , and
kissed her on both cheeks.
"Isn't thnt lovely 1" whispered ono pretty
mnid , "I wish I had a brother. "
I have asked several students what the
year hns boon to them. The superior girl
from Pennsylvinla , who taught four years
before coming to college , looked nt mo with
a quizzical smile , and would not tell. I could
guess. Her self-trust'was as firm as over ,
but her self-esteem had grown loss.
A studious Boston maiden , who last year
did not swimor skate or dance or play ten
nis or row or ride a safety , who had novcr
heard of gooseberries and thought that roast
peanuts grow on bushes , who vaguely ex
pected that western people would bo "differ
ent , " said that the past year had been ono of
ow idoas.
The palo genius from Vassar had broad
ened hor. I hope that by next summer she
will ho broadened enough to consent to read
"Uncls Tom's Cabin. "
When I asked a bright-faced Now York
girl , who is always sunny and gay and in
love with somebody , she answered , "It hns
boon n year of perfect happiness. "

Ono hundred years ago a man was born In
Bohemia who wus destined to achieve greatness -
ness as a | > oot und writer in Bohemian
'Pnnslavist" literature. The name of Jan
Hollar nnd his poem "Thn Daughter of

the Slavonic race , is the delight of every
Slav's heart today. In recognition of such
services rendered to his race , celebrations
are to bo held hero nnd wherever a sufilclont
number of his countrymen reside to observe
the data of the 100th anniversary of his

ANOTHER FACTORY.
An OinnliA Mnu Invent * nn Ore Crusher
nnd 1'ornn u Stock Compitnjr.
The mineral nnd pnlnt ere trndo has for
years boon looklng or n machine that would
bo comparatively inexpensive nnd economi
cal in Its equipment nnd service In the re
duction of paint nnd mineral ores. Such a
machine has at last been Invented and the
honor is duo an Omaha inventor. In a shed
on Sherman avenue , near Ulnnoy , nh In
ventor has boon working for some ttmo upon
n machine which ho has tit last perfected.
The dovlco comprises essentially nn encasing
shell within which are two communicating
nnd partly cylindrical iihambcrs within
which nro positioned two driving shnfts
each having an enlarged hub provided with
n sorlcs of scattngs , within which nro ro
movably. hold n system of angled
tooth , These teeth ' extend ni nn
anglo to a pluno passing verti
cally and transversely to the
shafts , the tooth of ono shaft inclined
toward ono end nnd those of the other shaft
toward the other end. so that these tcoth
intcrmcsh. Tlio shafts , however , are nmdo
to revolve lu opposite directions. Above ,
the machine is provided with a hopper
having n regulated feed , and , upon each
side , with nn exhaust. The bottom of each
of the semi-circular chambers is further
provided with a series of upwardly extending
tooth , thrro being ono series of teeth for
each of the revolving shafts. Thcso instru
mentalities comprise the machine. In its
workings the two operating shafts , which
are connected by meshing gears , are driven
by any suitable power.
The operation of the dovlco Is very simple.
The material being comminuted , and which
may comprise paint or any mineral ores , is
thrown into the hopper and led into the
chamber , cither intermittently or continu
ously. The Intermeshing shafts are % revolving
nt n very hlph rate of speed In opposite
directions nnd ns the material falls into the
chamber it encounters the revolving tooth ,
which revolve at a tremendous speed , mak
ing from 3,1500 to 8,000 revolutions per mlu-
uto. As the material falls into the chamber
it encounters thcso anglo teeth in such n
manner that the material Is given a now di
rection , either toward ono end or the other
of the chamber , the teeth of ono hub throwIng -
Ing the material in ono direction and the
tcoth of the other in the opposite. Now , in
their ( light thcso ere particles como into violent
lent contact with themselves , and it is by
means of the impact of this collision that
the particles are reduced. This is upon an
entirely now theory. Heretofore the
ores have been reduced by means of burrs ,
nnd as the material is very hard , it
would of course involve a great wear
on the machine. By this now method , how
ever , the material is thrown with great vlo-
lenco against itself , and the reduction Is
brought about by the particles themselves.
Last Tuesday a test of a full-sized machine
was made in the presence of several Omaha
capitalists , during which COO pounds of hard
iron ore , running fully 85 per cent Iron , was
reduced to the finest paint stock , in four
minutes by the watch. The pulverizer at
the time running at the minimum rate of
only 1,000 revolutions per minute.
The invention , machine and everything
connected therewith is purely an Omaha
concern. The inventor , Mr. John M. Jones ,
is an old resident of Omaha and the machine
was built in ono of the local shops. The ox-
i porimont last Tuesday was conducted oy
Mr. Jones and Mr. G. W. Sues , who was the
attorney in procuring the patent for the
machino. A company has just boon organ
ized which will bo incorporated within a
few days , for $150,000 and It expects to
locate n plant In Omaha , ono In Denver and
ono in Brooklyn , with branch houses in
Chicago aud San Francisco.
