During  the  past  week  the  F a rm 
Department  received  and 
tabulated 
the  data  obtained  in  connection  with 
the  beef  steers  and  heifer  fed  at  the 
farm  this  winter,  and  subsequently 
sold  on  Buffalo  market.  While  the 
showing  of  all  the  animals  is  good, 
that  of  Roxie 
is  exceptional,  in  that,

M.  A.  C.  held  their  first  meeting  of 
this  term  last  Wednesday  evening 
in  the  Agricultural  Laboratory  with 
large  attendance.  Dr.  Marshall, 
a

It 
was  short,  practical  and  useful.  He

Percy  Selcus,  who  was  bitten  on 
a  moccasin  water 
Thursday  by 
snake, died Saturday  night.  He  was 
a  professor  of  art  and  language  in 
the  Greenville  schools,  but  had  a 
love  for  reptiles.  He  had  several 
boxes  of  different  kinds  of  venom 
ous  snakes,  which  he  kept 
in  his 
house,  and  every  day  let  them  out 
in  his  room  and  played  with 
them. 
He  handled  them  and  on  cold  nights 
to  bed  with  him  and 
took 
placed  them  next  his  body  to  keep 
them  warm. 
It  was  while  he  was 
having  the  moccasin  out  in  the  room 
that  he  was  bitten.  He  attempted 
to  get  the  snake  back  into  the  cage 
and  touched  the  reptile's  tail,  when 
he  sprang  and  bit  him.  T he  doc 
tors  worked  over  him  without  avail. 
About  two  years  ago  he  was  bitten 
by  a  massasauga  and  it  was  several 
weeks  before  he  was  entirely  over 
the  effects  of  it.

enforces  judgment.  He  also  makes 
the  following  claims: 

"  1.  T h at  it  develops  and  enriches 
the  intellect,  strengthens  the  will  by 
developing  the  power  of  concentra 
tion,  and  by  its  social  development 
fosters  public  spirit. 

"  2.  T h at  it  saves  time. 

It  is  the 
those  giving  careful 
testimony  of 
study  to  the  subject,  that  by  reason 
of  the  development  of 
the  practical 
side  of  education  and  a  greater  con-
centrative  power,  pupils  accomplish 
litera 
as  much  in  history,  English

do  high  school  pupils  not 
taking 
manual 
training,  and  a  good  deal 
more  of  science  and  mathematics— 
not  to  mention  the  additional  work 
of  manual  training  proper. 

" 3.  T h at  it  removes  the  common 
objection  that  our  schools  do  not  fit 
pupils  for  the  duties  of  life. 

"4.  T h at  it  develops  the  sensibil 
ities,  and 
thus  quickens  the  moral 
nature,  while  purely  intellectual  at-
Lrt'uimenls  do  not. 

" 5.  T h at  in  the  final  analysis  of 
progress  we  are  astonished  to  per 
ceive  its  dependence  on  the  manual. 
Every  work  of  art,  be  it  painting, 
sculpture, or  edifice,is  of  the  manual. 
E v e ry  visible  feature  of  civilization 
is  the  product  of 
the  manual,  and 
dependent  upon  it  for  its  continu 
ance.

is  delightful.  One 
needs  but  to  visit  the  manual  train 
ing  work  of  a  school  to  appreciate 
the  real  delight  there  is  in  that  sort 
of  study.  N ot  that  all  pupils  love 
all  the  work,  although  many  claim 
that  they  find  real  enjoyment 
in  it 
all;  but  everyone,  except  the  hope 
lessly  indolent,  finds  in  it  somewhere 
his  delight,  and  thus  learns  from  his 
own  experience  how  elevating  and 
hence  how  noble,  is  labor. 

" 8.  T h at 

the  principle  of 

' t he 
greatest  good  to  the  greatest  num 
b e r'  is  not  ingrafted 
in  our  present

" 9.  T h at  manual 

training  would 
add  to  the  years  of  the  school  life  of 
the  masses,  thus  giving  them  school 
influences  during 
the  most  critical 
years  of  youthful  development—the 
years  of  social  growth  and  independ

World's  F a m o us  Libraries. 

Perhaps  at 

the  present  day 

the 
most  famous  library  in  the  world  is 
the  British  museum,  London. 
It  is 
not  the  largest  nor  the  most  ancient, 
but  it  is  catalogued  with  such  mar 
velous  accuracy  and  is  so  generally 
up  to  date  that  it  outranks  all  others. 
It  started  originally  with  a  gift  of 
50,000  books  to  the  nation  by  Sir 
Hans  Sloane,  but 
truly 
great  in  1757,  when  K i ng  George 
I I,  presented 
it  the  priceless  collec 
tion  of  books and  manuscripts  which 
had  been  made  by  his  predecessors. 
Other  magnificent  gifts  from  royalty 
followed.  There  is  also  a  law  that 
of  each  book  published  and  entered 
at  Stationers'  hall  there  must  be  a 
copy  deposited  in  the  museum.

This  famous  old  cow, for  years 

last.  An 

the  pride  and  pet of the Farm  De 
partment,  was destroyed  on  T h u r s 
day  morning 
increasing 
inability  to  use  her  limbs  had ren 
dered  her  helpless  for  some 
time. 
It  was with  great  reluctance  that the 
order  for her destruction  was  given, 
but  in  view  of  the fact  that  no  hope 
of  ultimate  recovery  was  entertained 
it  was thought  best  to end  her  suffer 
ing. 

A  post-mortem  showed  that  the 
articulating  surfaces  of  her 
limb 
joints  had  undergone  a  species  of 
necrosis,  rendering  their  movement 
extremely  difficult  and  painful. 
At  her  death  Rosa  held 

the 
world's  record  for  milk  production 
for  one week,  viz.:  723.75  lbs.  In 
one  day she gave  106.75  lbs. of  milk 
which  made  3.75  lbs.  of  butter. 
In 
30  days  she gave  2989.5  lbs. of  milk 
with  a  butter  yield  of  95.85 lbs.
