Charles Francis Adame, jr., in his address belore the Phi Beta Kappa Society of Harvard University on Thursday attacked the system which now prevails in the colleges of making Greek and Latin the basis of a liberal education. He was graduated from Harvard in 1856. Ot the education he received he said: Such training as I got, useful for the struggle, I got after instead of before graduation. and it came hard; while I never have been able—and now no matter how long I may live, I .never shall be able—to overcome some great disad- vantages which the superstitious and wrong theorjes and worse practices of my ala mater inflicted upon me. And not on me alone. The same may be sald of my contemporaries, as I have observed them in success and failure. What was true in this respect of the college of thirty years azo is, I apprehend, at least par- tially true of the college of to-day. It falls properly to fit graduates for the work they have got to do in the life that awaits them. The college fitted us for this active, bustling, hard-hitting, many tongued world, caring nothing for authority and little for the past, but full of its living thonght and living issues, in dealing with which there was no man who did not stand tM pressing and constant need of every possible p? ation as respects knowl- edge and exactitude and thoroughness—the poor old colleze prepared us to play our parts in this world by compelling us, directly and in- directly, to devote the best p: ot our school tlves to acquiring a confessedly superticial knowledge of two dead languages. We are living in this world of to day; and it is the business of the college to fit men for it. Does se do it? As I have said, my own expe- rience of thirty years ago tells me that she dld not do ft then. The facts being much the same, I do not see how she can doit now. It seems tome she starts from a radically wrong basis. It is, to use plain language, a basis of fetich wor: in which the real and practical is systematicaily sacrificed to the ideal and theo- Tetical. Latin I will not stop to contend over. That isa smail matter. Not only is it a compara- tively simple language, but apart from its lite- rature—for which I cannot myself profess to have any great admiration—it has its modern uses. Not only is it directly the mother tongue of all southwestern Europe, but it has by com- mon consent been adopted in scientific nomen- clature. Hence there are reasons why the edu- cated man should have at least an elementa- ry knowledge of Latin. That knowledge also can be acquired with no great degree of labor. To master the language would be another mat ter: but in these days few think of mastering it. How many students during the last thirty years have graduated from Harvard who could Tead Horace and Tacitus and Juvenal, as we read Goethe and Mommsen and Heine? It there have been ten, I certainly do not believe there have been a score. This itis to acquire alanguage. A knowledge of its rudiments is a wholly different thing; and with a knowledge of the rudiments of Latin as a requirement for admission to college I am not here to quar- rel. Not so Greek. The study of Greek, and I speak from the unmistakable result of my own individual ex- perience in active life, as well asfrom that of a long-continued family experience—the study of Greek in the way It 1s traditionally insisted upon as the chief requirement to entering college is a positive educational wrong. It has already wrought great individual and general injury, and ts now working it. It has been productive be no compensating advantage. It is a super- stition. I would rather myself be familiar with the German tongue and its literature than be equal- ly familiar with the Greek. I would unhesitat- ingly make the same choice for my child What T have said of German as compared with Greek IL will also say of French as compared with Latin. On this last point Ihave no question. Authori- ty and superstition apart, I am indeed unable to see how an intelligent man, having any con- siderable acquaintance with the two literature: can, as respects either richness or beauty, com- pare the Latin with the French; while as a worldly accomplishment. were it not for fetich worship, in these days of universal trayel the man would be properly regarded as out of his mind who preferred to be able to read an ode of Horace rather than to feel at home in the neutral language of al! refined society. rship even of the classical fetich draw- | and [shall hold that I was not | myself sacrificed wholly in vain if what I have said here may contribute to so shapmg the | pol of Harvard that It will not much longer use its prodigious influence toward indirectly closing for its students, as it closed for me, the avenues to modern life and living thought. a THE BRASS CRAZE. Some Fashionabie Ladie« Who Have Learned to] Hammer Pincques in Earnest. From the Philadelphia Times. A number of ladies who were studying the latest fashionable handicraft of brass-beating at one of the private art schools have made a new and practical departure by giving up the the- ories of books and book-learned teachers and placing themselves as apprentices under a regu- Jar brass-beater in an establishment where it {3 carried on as a business. They had been get- ting their hammers and _ tracin; tools for a long time from Anthony Morin, who has been tracing and modeling’ brass for over forty years and whose place is now at Ill south 8th street. In visiting the place getting tools and brass and blocks some of the ladies were struck with the thorough and practical way things were done and very soon found out that.the school was, a great deal of it, child’s play, and that if they wanted to make beautiful and lasting work they would have to take = the methods ot the factory. Accord- h , for nearly a year the herculean and sar- donic brass-beater has had under his care a class comprising some of the best known ladies of the city and has so Instructed them in the way of using and holding their tools, and in the proper kind of stroke to make upon the steel dies, that some of them, who have had a good | deal of practice, are enabled to make articles in Tepousse brass of which they are justly proud. Mrs. Edward Shippen 1s one of those who have become very proficlent, and one or two things she has done in brass are considered as fine as anything ever seen from an amateur hand. Miss Carrie B. Smith, a sister-in-law of the late John Edgar Thomson, ts also a clevi artisan and has turned out, among other things, asterling silver teapot, beaten up from the in- side in real repousse and elaborately chased. Miss Lowber has beaten and chased a beautiful plate, bearing the family coat-ot-arms. She is now inaking a set of bellows plates, ornamented with oak leaves and acorns. Some striking | work has been done by Mrs. Wendell P. Bow- | man, one ot her productions being a placque | with the head of Minerva. Miss LB. Moss has | nearly finished two solid offertory plates, beau- tifully chased and each ornamented with a Greek rayed cross. They are to be presented to achurch, The same young lady has chased some family crests. Miss Horner is making a placque with a shield and crest and the motto “Salus in Fide.” Miss Valentine has also done some ele- gant escutcheons. Miss Davis ts also a skillful chaser. Miss Godley, of San Francisco, who has been visiting Philadelphia, is a most enthusiastic student and has sent home several specimens of her handiwork. One was a coat-of-arms in a wreath of shamrock, displaying the motto “Sans Dieu Rien.” Mrs. D. M. Peck, of Williamsport, has also made eome very beautiful work. ‘The method is very simple and primitive. A sheet or plate of brass is fastened on a block of wood. The design is drawn upon it and the outline is hammered by a die, which has several dots in arow. Then there is a die that makes the groundwork have a frosted, mottled ap- pearance and other dies that make a variety of impressions. Everything depends upon the skill of the hands that hold the tools. Out of a piece of brass costing a few dollars there can be made something that could not be purchased tor less than @25 or $50. Card-receivers are among the things most made, and all sorts of curious things are made for wedding presents, the ar- ticles deriving a special value from being made by the giver’s hand. The work develops the muscles and Is one of the best means of edu- cating the hands in the mechanical arts. Ladies have become so fond of the work that they la) in supplies of brass and amuse themselves witi it while away at the seaside and other resorts. Mr. Morin says it is possible for any girl, with a little practice, to earn in this way two or three times as much as she would earn standing in a ore. —_+o-___. Crazep BY Over-Stupy.—O.

LADY MULCAHEYS REVENGE. How the Rival Sweethearts ef Lord Reginald Short Met Romantic Chicago. From the Chicago Tribune. “Give me the bandoline.” The soft, mellow tinkle of bells came floating over the hills and dales to the Lady Cecil Mul- cahey that June evening as she stood before the glass in her boudoir, beautiful articles of virtu, choice bits of fancy work and all the new corn remedies that were scattered around in graceful confusion giving to the room an air of refined beauty that one so seldom sees outside the pre- cinets of Naples or Kokomo. “Yes, Madame,” replied Nannette Stiggins, the French femme de chambre, handing her mistress the required “And does Mi e wish her vinaigret?” ,” replies Lady Cecil, a cold, cynical smile pene over her features as she speaks. ‘‘Lord Rewinald de Courcey Short will yet rue the di on which he laughed my apple-ple to scorn. she contintied, speaking softly to herself, “and told me, with a cruel sneer on his lips, that he would, ere the raddy glow of autumn faded into the snowy whiteness of winter, wed simple Ruth Redingote, the humble cotter’s daughter. He may think that I have forgotten his words, that Ihave choked away the grim wolf ot despair that has been gnawing at my heart, but time shall teach him better—shall bring home to him with terrible, crushing force the trath that hell hath no fury like a woman's corns—like a wo- man scorned, | mean”—and with a twirl of her taper fingers she chucked the powder-puff deftly into its box and began a long, weary Search for the hair-brush. * * * * . Ruth Redingote and Reginald Short are walk- ing arm in arm down the principal thorough- fare, and as the gaslight falls with fitful filcker upon the pure young face of the girl her com- panion looks down to her with a smile. Regi- nald thinks, as he gazes fondly upon her,’ that there Is none so fair as thiswoman, none that could so securely bind hia heart in the silken fetters of a pure, holy affection. And so, feel- ing thus, it seems to him that he cannot do too much for her, cannot make his yielding to her every wish too plain. And so, bending over her, his bright young face aglow with the kindly light of a deep affection, he asks her if there is anything she would like—any delicacy in the brilliantly-lignted windows that environ them on every side. “Yes,” answers Ruth, a pleased look In her deep, luminous eyes, “i would like something.” “What is {t, darling?” and as he speaks the last word a bright crimson blush suffuses the girl's cheeks. She hesitates an instant, and then, in clear, ringing tones, come forth the words: “Lemon pie!” A low, flendish laugh breaks upon the night air. Reginald turns hastily, and there before him, more beautiful than ever, stands the Lady Mulcahey. “Lemon ple!” she hisses flercely. “And this is your chosen bride—you who are 80 cultured and refined. My vengeance Is satisfied,” and with another mocking laugh she flees away into the darkne: sie ee Saturday Smiles.

In going down the Ye'lowatone and across the vast region lying between Glendive and Man- dan, one Is struck with the evident scarcity of game. This famous regian, where, two or three years ago, herds of buffalo, antelope and deer were to be seen on every side, is now to all ap- Pearances stripped of its game. For the entire distance from Livingston to Mandan I only saw two or three emall bands of antelope and not a sign of a deer or buffato.. The fact is, the slaughter of buffalo and deer has been immense for the past two years, and particularly of the former. It is estimated that during the past winter there have been a thousand hunters en- ed in the business of slaughtering buffalo along the line of the Northern Pacific between Mandan and Livingston. Aneagle eyed hunter got aboard ofthe train at Glendive. and he gave me the following interesting details as to the modus oj indi in slaughtering herds of buffal In the first place, the experienced hunter uses the Sharpe rifle, 40-90 cali With this he can killat one thousand yards. When he sees a herd of buffalo heusually slips up to within conve- nient range, from three to five hundred yards, and_ always selects a cow for his first victim. He does this for thereason that the cow is fol- lowed by both her yearling and two year old calves, and they will usually stand by her to the last. But under no circumstances will the ex- perienced hunter kill his buffalo outright. Ifhe does, the herd will stampede at once. The Policy isto wound fatally, but so the animal will dash around in a circle before falling This it always does where mortally wounded, ana after a few moments lies down. The re- mainder of the herd are not alarmed at this, but continue to gaze or look on dazed spectators of the tragedy being enacted. After his first shot the hunter pauses until quiet is restored, and again fires at another cow with similar resulte. He always aims to put his ball just behind the fore shoulder, which will cause death In five minutes at furthest. When the cows have all been slain he then turns his attention to the calves, and lastly to the bulls. The experienced hunter generally bags his entire herd unless he is so unfortunate as to drop his game immediately, when all the survivors stampede at once. The buffalo does not scare at the crack of a gun. He has decidely more courage than discretion. It is only when the crack 1s followed by an im- Mediate fall that he realizes its deadly nature and takes alarm. The policy of killing the cows first and then the calves has resulted in the almost utter extinction of the female buffalo. Herds of melancholy bulls can still occaslorally be seen. sometimes in bands of twenty or thirty, and often without asinglecow. The few re- maining cows now have their pick of lovers, and always choose from the young blood ot the The buffalo bull, after he passes his fourth year loses his attractiveness to the opposite sex, and the aversion seems to be mutual. Gathering about him his bachelor friends of equal age he sullenly retires into the wilderness and forever avoids the female members of the herd, who mate with younger and more uxu- rious masculines. As I have sald, the bulls are about all that are now left of the buffalo. They largely owe their safety to the fact that their hides are less valuable than those ef the cows, while at the same time they are far more diffi- cult to kill. The hide of the bull is only worth to the hunter from $1.80 to #2, while that of the cow brings $3.25, and that of the two year old calf is worth from #1 to#1.50. But of late there has sprung up quite a demand throughout the east for the head of the buffalo bull. The well preserved head of an aged bull, decked out with glass eyes and horns intact, will readily sell for $25 in the eastern markets. Consequently the buffalo hunter of the future will wage a destruc- tive war upon the bull tribe; andthese venerable relics of a bygone era will also pass swiftly away. Increasing Violence of Sun Storms. From the Rochester Democrat, June 29. On the morning of the 28d the Democrat and Chronicle contained an article headed ‘Terrific Sun Storms.” Since that date the disturbance on the sun has increased with great rapidity An observation yesterday through the flying clouds revealed a view that was somewhat ap- palling. A group of sun spots that was Just making Its appearance on the 23d had reached the sun’s center and had spread over a vast area, while a new group of immense propor- tions had made its appearance on the east. This group consists of two. very large spots con- nected. by a chain of smaller ones, The recion is torn in every direction. About the two great storm centers there is evidence of a ie | motion. The tongues of white flame whicl surround the dark chasms of the spots are bent In the direction of the cyclonic motion. The area of disturbance is now greater than at any time since the sun spot period began. There has been a constant increase in the violence and extent of the solar storms during the past year The tremendous outbreak of last November is fairly dwarfed by the present convulsions. Un- less the sun is undergoing some permanent change It would seem thatthe storms must soon reach a climax and subside. But so long as they continue we may expect violent storms and unaccountable weather on the earth. The pre- cipitation of rain over the north temperate zone has already become a matter of great concern, and there are no Immediate prospects of a dimi- nution. The water has been pumped into the air by the sun’s increased heat, and it must de- scend. It this state of things should continue for two or three years more, the most disastrous conseqnences must follow. In the natural course of events it is expected that the solar disturbance will soon subside. But there is no telling what may happen in our whirl through space. Tue Proression A Unn. Mr. C. H.

Horcomm, druggist, 129 and 151 Congress street, Troy, N. ¥., writes April 7, 1883: “*I am constantly selling Hunt's Remedy for diseases of the kidneys, liver, bledder and urinary organs to my tradeand friends, and find thst it gives general satis faction to all who use it.” v2 ROVAL Baie GLUE a Strongest, toGiee ote ‘The Philevopher Slanders His Stomach Becauve It Rebelled Against Il ‘Treatment—Peeple whe Dream. ‘Having told the story of that terrible mental struggle im his qariier years, which ended tn his abandoning oF ‘thodox in religion, the late Thomas Cariylc ended with theee words: - “Yee, I was shut up in my room in that way for ‘weeks, eating little, and that at all sorts of odd times, and when Ieettied the faith question, and came out to the world again, for the first time in. my life I was con- scious of possessing such an infernal apparatus asa stomach,” It may be added that during the rest of his long life chronic-dyspepsia kept the fact of the exint- enes of his stomach perpetually in the great man’s mind, Disordered digestion and « torbid liver handicap multitudes of people in life's race, They are beaten everywhere. With the liver engorced with blood and their brain fuddlei through lack of nutrition, they pase through the world like them that dream. Thus en- fecbled and flacid in spirit and body they are the first to fall before the touch of an epidemic, or to yicla to ‘any illness. Many » vacant chair in editorisl rooms, in business offices and in the studies of literary men tells this tale, Nature's own stimulus for a sluggish circulation of the blood is BENSON'S CAPCINE POROUS PLAS- TER. It stirs the dull organs into activity, relieves them from the poisonous matter which paralyses their Powers, and renders life real again, and imparts anep and vigor to the man. ‘Without being harmful, the old-style plasters are always slow, weak and uncertain, but Benson's Capcine acts quickly and heals at once. ‘When you buy it take notice that the word CAPCINE. iscutin the plaster, then psy your 25 oents and take hope.
