ONE  LESSON  IN THE STUDY 
OF  WEEDS. 

A  farmer  or seedsman  might  think 
it  impossible  to  distinguish  any  dif 
ference  between  the  achenes  (small 
fruits)  of  narrow-leaved  dock  and 
broad-leaved  dock.  Both  are  about 
the  size  of  seeds  of  red  clover  and 
are  often 
found  with  such  seeds. 
An  hour  with  a  stage  microscope 
enables  each  of  a  class  of  agricul 
tural  Juniors  to  observe  the  follow 
ing  differences: 

1.  T he  achenes  of  broad-leaved 

dock  are  lighter  in  color. 

2.  T h ey  are  less  highly  polished 

or  less  glistening.

Attorney  Fred  A.  Baker  cf 
Detroit  has  written  an  opinion  con 
cerning  franchises,  based  on  a  deci 
sion  of  the  Supreme  Court  in  the 
California  water 
rights  case,  to  the 
effect  that  special  franchises  granted 
by  councils 
in  cities,  villages  or 
townships  exist  only  as  long  as the 
legislature  of  the  state  chooses  to 
tolerate  them.  T he  legislature  can 
delegate  to the boards  of  supervisors 
the  power  to  revise  passenger  tariffs 
on  all electric  lines  within  the  several 
counties.  T he  value  of  these  prop 
erties  can  also  be  appraised  by  these 
boards  and  a  rate  of  fare  can be 
fixed  which  will  enable  the  company 
to  earn  a  reasonable  dividend  on the 
actual  investment.

J u d ge  W.  L.  Carpenter  wrote 
quite  an  important  decision  in  the 
supreme  court  on  March  15.  A 
saloon  was  kept  open  on  Labor  Day 
and  the  proprietor  was  convicted  in 
the  circuit  court.  T he  case  was 
appealed  on  the  ground  that  Labor 
Day  is  not  a 
legal  holiday  in  the 
meaning  of  the  general  liquor  law. 
T he  defendant's  attorneys  argued 
that  since  the  liquor  law  was  passed 
in  1SS7  and  that  Labor  Day  was 
not  legalized  till  1893, the  legislature 
of  that  year  could  not  have  had  in 
mind  the  closing  of  saloons  on  that 
particular  day.  J u d ge  Carpenter 
cited  many  cases  from  which  he 
established  the  fact  that  the  liquor 
to  apply  to  holi 
law  was  intended 
days  subsequently  created  as well  as 
those  existing  in  1S93.  T he  saloon 
men  used  this  as  a  test  case.  T he 
decision  affirms  an  important  prin 
ciple  in  law  which  if  not  sustained 
would  have  caused  serious  ditlicultv.

a  bulletin  on  the  Brown-tail  Moth. 
T he  caterpillars  of  this  moth 
feed 
upon  a  great  variety  of  fruit  and

trees.  T he  winter  months 
are  spent  in  cocoon-like  nests  con

In  about  three  or  four  weeks 
whitish  moths  appear.  T he  females 
lay  eggs  in  clusters  of  two or  three 
hundred  each,  and  the  latter  part  of 
into 
the  summer  these  eggs  hatch 
small  caterpillars.  Besides  destroy 
ing  trees,  the  barbed  hairs  of  the 
caterpillars  cause  a  peculiar 
skin 
disease.  W h en  the caterpilLars  molt, 
these  barbed  hairs  are shed  with  the 
skin,  and  are  blown  around  by  the 
wind.  Upon  coming 
in  contact 
with  the  human  skin  they  produce 
inflammation  and  a  rash  resembling 
eczema,  a  sort  of  watery  blister  on 
top  of  the  eruption.  T he  winter 
nests  should  be  cut  and  burned.

evening,  at 
held 
which  time  Mr.  Howard  Severance, 
the  president  of the  club,  gave  a  very 
instructive  address. 
This  address 

took  the  form  of

a  not  uncommon  view,  was  nicely 
set  forth  in Bailey's  characterization 
of  those  who  are  unable  to see any

Bailey  listed  in that  class  those  who, 
having  been  early  apprenticed,  have

suggestion  of  some 
that 
young  men  can  learn  'farmin'  better 
by  working  for  some  good  farmer 
than  they  can  by going  to  College). 
T he  ideal  view  of what  education 
is  and  should  do  for  one is,  that  it 
should  train  a person  to think  and to

two  at  the  time.  This  brings  us 
again  to our original  proposition  of 
the  two views  of  education. 

Some  students,  holding  to the  old 

view  of  education  as  the  acquire

strument  for use in their  future  work, 
hurry  their  course.  Pride,  desire to

lines. 

In  our  common  school  days  we 
were  given  high  ideals  and  ambi 
tions  for future  achievements  in  in 
tellectual 
In  our  vacations, 
looking  forward  to a college  course, 
we  attempted  in  a desultory  way  to 
keep  up  self-improvement  in  prepar 
ation  for  College.  But  our  ideals 
and  ideas  of  education  are at variance 
with  our environment.  Absent  from 
the  schoolroom,  we  find  ourselves 
burdened  with  the strife  after  some 
thing  superficial  to  our  immediate 
needs.  ( H e re  we  have 
suggested 
a  fault  of our common  schools in  not 
directing  the thought  of  their  pupils 
to  their  environment.)  We  finally 
give  up  and  put  the  matter  off to 
arrival  at  College  where  we  can 
devote  our  whole  time  directly  to 
one  thing—education.  Arrived  at 
college,  the  student  still  finds  him 
self  harassed  by that  same  trouble, 
lack  of  time.  Pride  of  appearance, 
the  desire  to  excel,  or  to  keep  u p, 
thoroughness 
lead  him  to  put off 
until  that  future  day when  out  of 
college  he  will  have  more 
time. 
T he  desire  to excel, to keep  up, will 
not  cease  to  suggest 
itself  to one 
after  he  has  passed  from  the  Halls 
of  College.  T he  very  busy  life  of 
R.  M.  Kellog,  long  one of  Mich 
igan's 
leading  horticulturists,  was 
portrayed  as a suggestion  that  might 
be  the means  of  disillusioning  those 
young  persons  whose 
ambition 
prompts  them  to put off  thoroughness 
to  some  future  time.  T he  point is 
that  sooner  or  later  if  we  would 
succeed,  we must  balance  our outlay 
of  work  with  our  powers  of  execu 

tion.  And  he who  delays  the  yield

misses  the  vital  thing  which  it is  the 
essential  purpose  of a college  educa 
tion  to do for  him. 

In  closing  the  speaker  said 

that 
had  he  been  forced 
to  found  his 
farewell  remarks  on a text,  he  would 
have  taken  that  incident  where  the 
aged  Simeon  w ho  saw  our  Lord 
brought  by  his parents  to the  temple, 
said, I  have  lived  all these  years  with 
the  desire  to  see Him,  and now that 
my  desire  is fulfilled  I  am  ready  to 
die.  So with  this  view  of  education, 
it  has  required  all  these  years  to 
arrive  at this  conception  but with its 
arrival  vanish  all  those  errors  and 
that  fear,  born  of  past  experience, 
that  with  the  departure  from  the 
classroom  there  would  return  again 
a  relapse  into  that  apathy  and  men 
tal  stagnation  which  ever 
follows 
the  attempt  to follow  divergent  lines 
of  thought  and  work.  So  having 
arrived  at  this  conception,  I  am 
ready  to say  farewell  to  college and 
to  enter  into  the  field of  life. 

Mr.  T h o m as  Gunson  talked  a few 
minutes  on  " M a r k e t s ."  He  spoke 
of  the influence  the past  severe  win

of  perishable  products.

T he  Columbian  Literary  Society 
entertained  their  friends  with  a  very 
unique  party  last  Saturday  evening. 
to  their 
T he  members  responded 
nicknames  with  quotations  of  their 
society  members. 
In  the  course  of 
the roll  call many  valuable  facts  about 
the  various  members  were  disclosed. 
T he  entertainment  was  almost  en 
tirely  original,  and  the  participants 
deserve  considerable  credit  for  the 
interest  that  was  manifested  during 
the  performance.  After 
the  pro 
gram  was  over  refreshments  were 
served,  but owing  to the lateness  of 
the  hour  the  games  that  had  been 
planned  for  the  evening  had  to be 
dispensed  with,  and  the young  ladies 
had  to return  home,  feeling  that the 
evening  had  merely  begun. 
In  the 
business  meeting  later  in  the  even 
ing,  the  society  elected  the  following 
officers:  Pres.,  W . J.  W r i g h t;  Vice 
Pres.,  W.  P.  Robinson;  S e c,  A. 
M.  R o b s o n;  Treas.,  J.  Bowditch;

Prof.  L.  R.  Taft 

from 
St.  Louis 
last  Tuesday.  Most  of 
the  buildings  are  ready.  Some  of 
the  foreign  buildings  are  still  in 
process  of  construction.  T he  Fair 
grounds  are  being  put  into  shape 
and  will  be  very  attractive.  Many 
exhibits  are already  on the grounds, 
tables  and  cases  are  being  prepared 
and  everything  will  be  ready  in  the 
near  future.  T he  Michigan  build 
ing  has  been  delayed  on  account  of 
a  strike  by  the  plasterers.  These 
men 
they 
receive  almost  anything 
want,  $7.00  per day  being  the regu 
lar  wages.  F or small  jobs  they ask 
at  the  rate  of  $15.00  for an eight-
hour  day.  F. W. Taylor,  Superin 
tendent  of Horticulture  and  Agricul 
ture  of  the  Exposition,  has  asked 
Prof.  Taft  to act as chairman  of the 
department  jury  of  horticultural ex 
hibits.  This  work  will  be  divided 
into-five  groups—pomology,  viticul 
ture,  arboriculture,  cut 
flowers, 
greenhouse  plants,  tools  and  appar 
atus.  Each  group  will  have  a  sepa 
rate  jury  and the  chairman  of  these 
group  juries  will  constitute  the  de 
partment  jury  of  which  Prof.  Taft 
is  to  be  chairman.  T he  president 
of  the exhibition,  the director  of  ex 
hibits,  the head  of  each  department 
and  the  chairman  of  each  depart 
ment  jury  will  constitute  the  super 
ior 
jury.  Only  men  of  national 
reputation  will  be  found  on  this 
jury.  T he  selection  of  Prof.  Taft 
not  only  recognizes  him as  one of 
the 
in  the 
country  but is  at  the  same  time  an 
honor  to M. A. C.  T he work  will 
begin  about  April  first  and continue 
for  eight  months.  T i nt  R E C O R D, 
in  behalf  of the  college  community 
and  alumni,  extends  congratulations 
to  Prof.  Taft.

Prof.  U.  P.  Hedrick's  statement 
that  robins  cause  serious  damage  to 
cherries  and  strawberries  particu 
larly,  and  that  something  should  be 
done  to  prevent  their  destructiveness 
has  called  forth  lengthv  editorials  in 
some  of  the  Detroit  papers  and  criti 
cisms  pro  and  con  from  many  stale 
editors.  Some  advocate  a  trial  by 
an  impartial  jury  of  peers  before  the 
robin  is  condemned.  No  doubt  the 
owl  would  make  an  excellent  Judge 
arid  a  sparrow  or  two,  a  blackbird,  a 
cherry  bird,  etc.,  would  constitute  a 
good  jury.  T he  hawk  might  be  re 
tained  as  attorney  for  defendant  and

It  has  been  found  that  an  insoluble 
body

whatever  upon

reduce 
the

injurious  effects  of 
seedlings.  This  has  been  proved  in 
the  case  of  8  different  solutions  (all 
which  are  used)  by  the  addition  of 
thoroughly  washed  ground  quartz 
to  the  solution.  An  illustration  may
