A  IVord  to  t he  Wise. 

,fTts  a  story  oft  related 
Th:it.  in  regions  q u i te  unknown. 
There  exists  a  private  sanctum 
F or  the  RECORD  staff  alone. 

Where  a re pigeon  holes  in  plenty, 
Stocked  w i th  manuscripts  galore,— 
^pglsere  t he  flow  of  suastve  language 
Kuslies  forth  with  mighty  roar. 

But,  «las.  this  fancied  c h a m b er 
Is  imagination  mere, 
F or  t he spot  w h e re  genius  iurketh 
Is  cerebral  hemisphere. 

Sot  aspiring  mortals,  hearken,— 
If  bright  columns  you'd 
insure, 
Seize  t he  flying  bits  of  genius, 
Jot  them  down  in  Ink  secure. 

Keep  your  little  note  books  handy. 
F or  invaluable  they'll  be 
As  rich  stores  of  t h o u g ht  a nd  fancy, 
Gathered  for  futurity.

their  A m e r i ca 

agents,  W I H. J>  Mntbesen  Jfc ('•»-. New 
York,  have  presented  the chemical  de-
parttneht  '«  c^uriplcte  set of  sampies  of 
their  aniline  dye  stuffs. 
T he  set  is 
very  complete,  containing  nearly  one 
thousand  samples  of ^ t bm and  woolen 
stuffs  artistically  arranged  and  giving 
the  formula  for each  tint. 

It  i*  quietly  hinted  that,  the  w ay In 
which  some  of  the "old boys"  led  forth 
the  winsome  lassies  to the quadrille  at 
the  ftrange  party  t he  other  night  w as 
a.  revelation  to t he younger  generation. 
To  see 
them  c ut  t he  plgeon-wlng. 
ehass£  around  t he  Ifooni,  execute  the 
double-shuttle,  and  end  up  with  t he 
dizzy  pirouette,  one  would 
think  t he 
shade  of  St.  Vitas  were  master  of 
ceremonies. 

While  t he  Dairy  school  w as In  prog 
ress  the  F a rm  d e p a r t m e nt  worked  up 
such  a  demand  for  their  butter 
t h at 
now  they  a re entirely  unable  to  supply 
Several  grocers  of  Lan 
this  demand. 
sing  have  sent  out.  urging  t h at  they  be 
kept  supplied  with  \f,  A.  C.  butter. 
This  proves  to  us  that  there  is  certain 
ly  ft  great  a nd  eonstant  demand  for 
first-class  butter  and t h at  this  demand 
Is  much  in  excess  of  t he  supply. 

The  agricultural  freshmen  finished  a 
course  of six  weeks  in  t he wood  shops 
last  F r i d a y.  T he  work  h as  been  very 
valuable  to  those  w ho took  an  Interest 
in  it.  Tt included  t he  malting  of  vari 
ous  kinds  of  joint.**—mortise,stub,  dove 
joints—dovetail 
tail,  miter,  and  half 
boxes,  a nd  patterns,  for  those  who 
showed  proficiency  in  the  other  work. 
Saw-filing  a nd  tool-grinding  also  made 
up  a  part  of  t he  work,  a nd  two  days 
were  spent  at  the  1st lies  doing  plain 
t u r n i n g. 

On  Wednesday  evening.  F e b. I I, t he 
Capitol  Grange  of  Lansing  held  a  so-

sented  by  Messrs.  Newman.  True,

And  of  streams  of  cold  water  with

Till  the  Fre*hmon  forgot  his  a w k w a rd

At  last,  like  one Who  for  delay
