press 

(As you  or  I  might  do). 

She  told  how  to  cut  and  fit  a  dress 
And  how  to stew  many  a savory  mess, 
But she  never  had  tried  it herself,  I  guess, 

(Which  none  of her  readers  knew). 

O, the  hours  we've  spent and  the flour we've 

spent, 

And  the  sugar  we've  wasted  like  sand, 
At- the  hest  of  a  woman  who  never  had 

cooked, 

And  now  we  know that  she never could  cook 

And did  not  understand!

To  be  covered  with  chintz  and  stuffed  with 

hair;

T he  members  of 

the  Botanical 
Club  rendered  a  good  program  at 
their  last  meeting.  Mr.  Longyear 
gave  a  very 
talk  on 
mushrooms  and  puff-balls,  exhibit 
ing  a  large  number  of  specimens 
from  the  College  collection.  Many 
good  observations  were  ttiade,  which 
were  of  interest  to  the  club.  T h e re 
were  over 
thirty-five  present  and 
an  equally  large  attendance  is desired 
at  our  meeting  tonight. 

An  excellent  program  has  been 
prepared 
this  evening,  which 
no  one  interested  in  this  subject  of 
botany  can  afford  to  miss.  w.  s.  p.

the  State  Board  of  Agri

After  a  recess  of  about  a  week, 
the  Board  met  last  Tuesday  night  at 
the  Hotel  Downey  to  consider  these 
estimates.  T he  bids  were  so  close 
that  it  took  several  hours  to  come  to 
a  decision,  but 
the  contract  was 
finally  awarded  at  $73,000.  to  A.

M. A. C. Lost  to D. A. C. 

T he  football  players  that  went  to 
Detroit  Saturday  tell  a  " h a rd  l u c k" 
story,  claiming  that  the  three  touch 
downs  made  by  the  D.  A.  C.  were 
the  result  of  M.  A.  C's  fumbling. 
Their  story  is  corroborated  by  the 
Detroit  Free  Press,  which  says: 

" T he  visitors  were  apDarently 
outweighed  by  the  average  of 
the 
Detroit  valiants,  but  their  team  play 
the 
was  better.  Time  after 
time 
the 
' f a r m e r s'  successfully  worked 
the 
old 
revolving  wedge  against 
local  players  and  it  seldom  fniled 
to 
gain  them  ground.  T he  D.  A.  C. 
the 
interference  was  wretched  and 
team  play  was  ragged.  W e re

He  Found  it  Profitable  to  T a ke  a 
Course  at  M.  A.  C. 

During  the  year  1SS2, I  received 
a letter  from  a  man  living  south  of 
Philadelphia,  and  it  ran  much  like 
this: 

"  Some  years  ago  I  started  in  the 

seed  business,  growing  a  portion  of 
the  stock,  but  importing  most  of  it. 
I  printed  a  very  small,  unpretending 
monthly  magazine  devoted  to  grow 
ing  flowers  about  the  home. 
I  was 
very  poor  for  a  good  while,  hardly 
able  to  make  a  living. 
I  am  mar 
ried  and  have  t wo  children  and  my 
business  has  picked  up  quite  a  bit. 
I  have  long  felt  the  need  of  a  better 
education.  By  sacrificing  something 
in  my  business  I  could  get  away

W h at  is your  advice? 
Is  there  any 
encouragement  for  a  man  o f - my 
age  and  circumstances  to  spend  a 
little  time  in  college?" 

I  wrote  him a letter  and he  entered 
M.  A.  C. in  18S3 without  intending 
to  remain  more  than  a  term  or  two. 
For  weeks  it  was  with  the  greatest 
difficulty  that  he  could  hold  his  mind 
to  his  lessons.  He  was  healthy  and 
persevering. 
spent 
about  two  terms  at  the  College,  and 
in  1885,  rather  more 
two 
terms,  making  up  some  .  studies 
while  here  and  while  engaged  in 
business  at  home. 

In  18S4,  he 

than 

He  took  a  degree  with 

the  class 
of  '86, his  wife  coming  seven  hun 
dred  miles  to  rejoice  with  him  at 
commencement. 

It  is  needless  to  say  that  the  study 
to  publish  a  better

magazine  and  helped  him  in  many 
ways.  F r om  his  commencement  in 
'86  to  the  present  day,  he  has  not

spent  at M. A.  C. a  good  investment 
intellectual  way,  but  it  has 
in  an 
been  of  great  .service 
financially. 
His  business  increased. 

I  take  the  liberty  of  quoting  from 

a  recent  letter: 

"I  am  still  at  the  business  I  have 
been  in  for  years—seedsman,  florist 
and  publisher  at  Libonia,  P a.  T he 
postoffice  was  established  at  my 
place  of  business  to  promote  mailing 
facilities,  the  postage  of  my  business 
amounting  to  about  $10,000  a  year. 
I  haVe  also  an  electrotyping  estab

Natural  History  Society. 

T he  attendance  at  the  meeting  of 
the  Natural  History  Society 
last 
Wednesday  evening  was not so  large 
as the program  deserved.  T he  talks 
by  Prof.  J.  A.  Jeffery  and  D.  B. 
Jewell  were  not  only  interesting  but 
instructive. 

Prof.  Jeffery's 

talk  was  on  the 
formation  of  soils—the  agencies  that 
convert  rocks  into  soil.  He  spoke 
of  the  work  of  water  and  frost  in 
this  connection;  also  of  the  assistance

given  by  vegetation, 
which  penetrate  the  seams  of  rocks 
and  force  them"  apart,  dissolve  the 
rocks  themselves,  and  decaying,  mix 
with  the  mineral  elements  ,to  form 
S^me  in 
• soil  of  a  higher;  order. 
teresting  figures  were  given  regard 
ing  a  gram  of  fine  soil  that  was ex 
hibited.  T he  particles  were  about 
two  ten-thousandths  of  an  inch  in 
diameter,  and  enough  of  them  were 
contained  in  a gram  to keep  a  person 
busy  5251^ years  to count  them, one 
a second,  day and night.  T he  aggre 
gate  surfaces  of  these  grains  would 
be  about  644  square  inches.  Prof. 
Jeffery  also  told  of  some  investiga 
tions  that  he  made  upon  the  dusty 
snow  that  fell  over  a  large  area  in 
the  north  central  states  several  years 
this 
ago.  T he  dust  obtained  from 
snow  was  made  up of quartz,  felspar 
and  mica in  the same-proportion  that 
they  occur  in  granite. 

Mr.  Jewell  told  what  he  saw of 
industry  while  on  mili 
the  sugar 
tary  duty  in  Cuba.  T he sugar  fields, 
he  said,  are  in  ruin,  the  cane  making 
such  a  tangled  jungle  in  places,  that 
he  was  once 
lost,  in  a  field  of  it.
