Lets turn out Sat urday and cheer the varsity on to rous victory. By-the-way a good ing mass meeting will help some. hearty THE sentiment expressed at the meeting of the East Lansing church society last Sunday and the adjourning of the meeting to a week day for the transaction of business deserves commendation. T he action of many churches in de vising plots and schemes on the Sabbath and often at the very hour of service to separate the congrega tion from their surplus cash, some times used wholly for mercenary purposes, and at the same time heap ing opprobium upon the heads of the poor Samaritans for acts of in nocent pleasure or recreation falls little short of hollow mockery.

As a lad J o hn Ruskin read the Bible through, aloud, to his moth r, time after time. Certain chapters, selected by her, he committed to memory. Late in life, referring to this fact, he wrote : " I have just opened my oldest (in use) Bible; my mother's list of chapters with which, thus learned, she established my soul in life, has just fallen out of it. A nd truly insta'lation this material * * * of my mind in that property of chapters I count very contid ntly the most precious and, on the -whole, the one essential educa fart tion." ofmy T he list of chapters is as follows : Exodus 15 and 2 0; Second Samuel 1, from the 17th verse 10 the e n d; I Kings 8; Psalms 2 3 , 3 2 , 9 0 , 8 1, 103, 112, 119, 139; Proverbs 2, 3, 8, 12 ; Isaiah 5 8; Matthew 5, 6, 7 ; Acts 2 6; I C rinthians 13, 1 5; J a m es 4 ; Revelation 5, 6; 26 chap ters in all.

THE RULE OF CONTRARIES. A man's life is full of crosses and temptations. He comes into this world without his consent, and goes out against his will, and the trip between the two is exctedmgly rocky. T he rule of contraries is one of the important features of the trip. W h en he is little the girls kiss him, but when he is g r o wn the little girls kiss him. If he is 1 oor he is a bad manager ; if he is rich he is dishonest. . If he needs credit he can't get i t; if he is prosperous everyone wants to do him a favor. If he's in politics its for p i e; if he's out of politics you Can't place him, and he's no good for his coun- try. If he doesn't give to charity he is a stingy cuss; if he does it is for show. If be is actively religious he is a hypocrite; if he takes no interest in religi n he is a hardened sinner. If he shows affection he is a soft specimen; if he seems to care for no one he is cold-blooded. If he dies young there was a future ahead of "him ; if he great lives to an old age he has lived be yond his usefulness. T he Road is Rocky, but Man Loves to travel it.—Ex.

This amused me exceedingly. H ad such a note been sent Dr. Blaisdell or several others it wouldn't be so of stmnge. T he secretary did not venture to expose himself by writ ing with his own hand. the faculty In all seriousness, possibly after foundation all there may be some for the note referred to. During vacation I registered at a hotel in A nn Arbor. A friend expecting me there telephoned as to whether Dr. Beal was there. T he clerk scanned carefully his register and replied in the negative. He read my name W . J. Bed.

T h e re is no more marked differ ence between the uneducated and the educated man than in the great superiority of the latter over the former in his capacity to accomplish intellectual labor. His mind is obe dient to his will. He can at once concentrate his mind upon his task and hold it steadily to duty. W h en the hour for his self-imposed toil comes, he can banish thoughts of all things else from his mind and fix his attention upon the task until it is done. T he ability to do this is one of the most distinguishing marks of the truly educated man. Ohio, imprisonment in 1S93, passed a law against " what is commonly called hazing," with a penalty of from $ 10 to $100, or from thirty days to a year. This law in its definition. was not precise It is n ow replaced bv a new act covering educational institutions of all kinds and defining what is meant by hazing. It is described as " any act that injures, frightens, degrades, or disgraces, or injure, frighten, degrade, or disgrace any fellow-student or person attending such institution." T he maximum fine is increased to $200 and the maximum imprisonment is reduced to six m o n t h s; but provision is made for the imprisonment of the offender until the payment of the fine. tends to T h r o u gh the kindness of Dr. Beal we are able to give this week some statistics regarding the alumni at the different experiment stations in the U.
