Thanksgiving  Day. 

Wake,  Oh Echoes,  from  the  distance, 
Lend  us  of  thy best  assistance; 
Rouse  to make the woodlands  ring 
With  the praises  which  we  bring. 

Day of sweet  and  peaceful  beauty, 
Day  of rest  yet solemn  duty, 
Day  of lofty  thoughts,  expressing 
Gratitude  for every  blessing. 

Day  when  love seems freest  flowing, 
When  the left  hand,  though  unknowing, 
Aids the right  hand  in  bestowing 
Needed  blessings  through  the  land. 

Day  when  thoughts  expressed  or  hidden, 
Form  in thanks  e'er  they  are  bidden; 
Where  we pause  to think  that  heaven 
All our happiness  has given. 

Day  of thanks,  Oh draw  us  nearer 
To  our Savior.  Make  us  dearer 
To the one who, always  sending, 
Is in love  now o'er  us  bending. 

May our voices  praise  forever 
Him  whose  bounty  faileth  never, 
And  who answers  as we  pray 
On this  glad  Thanksgiving  day. 

STUDENT. 

Professor  Weil  Remembered. 

to  the  Professor 

Professor  Weil  has  been  made 
the  recipient  of  a  valuable  present 
from  the  Mechanical  Engineering 
class  of  '95.  T h at  it  was  a  com 
plete  surprise 
is 
shown  by  the fact  that  it  took  him 
three  weeks  to  find  out  where 
the 
instrument  came  from.  About  four 
weeks  ago  he  received  a  neat  case 
about  three  feet  long,  which  he  dis 
covered  upon  opening  contained  a 
Thacher's  Calculating  Instrument. 
Supposing  the  instrument  had  been 
sent  here  by  the  makers  for  trial,  or 
that  it  had  come  by  mistake,  he  did 
not  remove  it  from  the  case, but  put 
it  aside  to  await  the  letter  which  he 
supposed  would  follow.  No  letter 
came,  and  last  week  he 
took  the 
instrument 
its  case.  W h at 
was  his  surprise  to  find  on  the  bot 
tom  a  silver  plate  on  which  was en 
graved  his  name,  a  few  words  of 
regard 
the 
names  of  the  donors,  Messrs.  J.  P. 
Churchill,  W.  J.  Goodenough,  F. 
Johnson,  H.  F. Lake, H.  R.  Parish, 
and  R.  L.  Reynolds. 
It  is  needless 
to  say  that  Professor  Weil  appre 
ciates  the  regard  which  prompted 
these  young  men,  two  years  after 
graduation,  to  present  him  such  a 
valuable  testimonial.

A  Superior  Mechanical  Course  for 
Little  Money. 

G.  A.  Goodenough,  '91, a  teacher 
of  six  years  experience 
in  Illinois 
University  and  other  institutions  of 
learning,  and  now  professor  of  me 
chanics  at  Scranton,  Pa  , has  a  good

is  paid  to 

turn  of  mind, 

" To  the  young  man  of  mechan 
ical 
the  Michigan 
Agricultural  College  offers  many 
advantages.  T he Mechanical  Course 
given  at  the  College  is  equal  to  that 
given  in  the most pretentious  eastern 
universities  ;  in  fact,  it  is superior  to 
that  given  in  many  colleges  because

sive  and  showy  equipment.  T he 
young  man  who  has  his  own  way 
to  make  in  the  world  cannot  do  bet 
ter  than  attend  the  M.  A.  C.  He 
will  there  obtain  a  preparation 
in 
the  principles  of  mechanics,  which 
underlie  all  the  engineering  profes 
sions,  so  that  with  a  little  additional 
study  in  special  lines  he will  be  cap 
able  of  filling  a  good  position  in  the 
mechanical,  civil,  or  electrical  fields. 
T he  M.  A. C.  is  especially  suited  to 
young  men  of  small  m e a n s;  no  per 
son  need  be  barred  from  taking  a 
course  from  lack  of  funds. 
I  know 
of  no  place  where  a  good  education 
can  be  obtained  for  so little  money."

to  play  a  game 
with  us  in  order

Concerning  Mushrooms. 

F or  over  three  hundred  years  the 
inhabitants  of  France,  Germany, 
Russia  and  Italy  have  been 
famil 
iar,  through  popular  tradition,  with 
the  edible  mushrooms  of  Europe. 
F or  weeks  together  the  sole  diet  of 
thousands  consists  of  bread  and 
mushrooms,  while  those  not  eaten 
fresh  are  dried  or  preserved  in  oil, 
vinegar  or  brine  for  winter  use.  In 
the  large  cities  of  Italy  since  1837 
there  have  been  appointed  inspectors 
of  fungi.  In  the  city  of  R o me  alone 
the  tax  returns  show  that  tons  are 
brought 
in

Fifty  years  ago  Dr.  C.  D.  Bad-

the  young  man who  cannot  leave  the  farm 
for  a  more  extended  time,  these  courses

part  the  trees,  upon  which  the  galls 
have  appeared,  came

been  found  in  Michigan  nurseries. 
Although  not  confined  to  any  one 
kind  of  soil  or 
to  any  particular 
location,  the  galls  are  most  common 
upon  trees  growing  in  soils  rich  in

plant  lice  of  various  k i n d s;  (2)  the 
nematode  galls,  which  are  small 
nodules  found  on  the  roots  of  plants 
growing  in  wet  soils;  (3)  the  club

the  cabbage  and 
turnip,  which  is  due  to  the  work  of 
a  slime  mould; 
the  so-called 
mechanical  galls,  which  often  ap

been  injured  in  some  way  and  (5) 
the  small  tubercles  which  are  found 
on  the  roots  of  plants  of  the  clover 
tribe.  T he  crown  galls  have  been

there  is  no  direct  evidence  that  any

where  the  soil  has  been  dug  away 
from  roots  of  trees  to  determine  the 
absence  or  presence  of 
the  galls,

Selby  of  Ohio,  reports
