From the New York Sun: On Tues- day morning last the Smith college girls had an opportunity of seeing at elose range what the parting of thirty years ago must have been when tha soldier boys went away. <A_ great crowd gathered at the station at 8:15 to cheer the soldiers on their way to the state camp. The band played pa- triotic airs, cannon saluted, bells rang, whistles blew and th cple shouted themselves hoarse, and college girls helped in the enthusiasm. For a week or more the college organ had been out of repair, but at chapel that morning it was ready for use again. Dr. Blodgett played “The Star Spangled Banner” as the girls marched cut two by two, and even the girl who did not sympathize with the war felt a thrill of the patriot- ism on that occasion. : At a class meeting which ted the entire afternoon, a few days ago, the juniors discussed the adv giving up the promenade ments were broug con, but it was fina idell that the best thing Smith girls couj¢do in these exciting times was to keep the even tenor of their way, to dd well the du- ties before them, and t6 hold the junior promenade on May 11. Mount Holyoke has not been behind er sister college sfons of pa- otism. On A a flag was pre- ented to the students by Mr. Hill, the teward, and a flagstaff by A. L, Wil- ter. At. 0 in the morning the | girls marched, two by two, lines, from the different houses con- | verging on the south campus, where any r@ pro and pr the flagstaff was placed. The flag was raised enthusiasm, amid much and after the formal ceremonies the girls | ating college songs | sang together, altern | with national airs. presented ta the college, this time by the Robert O. Tyler Grand Army post of Hartford, Conn. At ehapel, Hazen read a from the donors, saying: “In this time of war and battle when we, as true Americans, wish to show our colors, it is the desire of the mem- bers of Robert O. Tyler Post, No. 50, of the Grand Army of the Republic, Hartford, Conn, to present this flag to Mount Holyc*%e college. Throw it to the breeze pad there let it wave until vietory is ours.” As Miss Hazen finished reading the | letter there was an outburst of ap- plause; the audience rose as one girl xd sang “America.” A TRAIN OF HARD TACK. One Million, One Hundred and Twenty Thousand Biscuit for Cuba. From the Atlanta Constitution: A train load of hard tack, made in Atlan- ta factories, was shipped from here to Tampa yesterday for the army which ; is to invade Cuba tomorrow. The gov- ernment, in its contract, stipulated that the bread for the troops at Tampa be ready there today. This in itself sig- nifies that the invasicn is to be made tomorrow. Eighty thousand pounds of hard tack was sent from th’'s city. Block’s candy and cracker factory and Lewis’ cracker factory made the hard tack for the soldiers, and the govern- ment officials said it was 2s good as any they had ever eaten. The order for ihe crackers was at first for 60,000 pounds, but it was increased to 80,000 pounds to meet the demand of the troops. Hard tack is tough cracker, in shape exactly similar to a large soda cracker. The tacks are cut with the soda cracker molds and aré the same size, with the exception that they are much thicker, They have the little in- dentations and perforations mark the soda crackers and can not be told from a common cracker until tasted. One mill'on, one hundred and twenty thousand of the tough little bis- cuits were made here Sunday and yes- terday. It takes fourteen of the crack- ers to weigh a pound, and 80,000 pounds were made. About twenty of the canpgpom Conese — crackers are served to each cf the mea | every day, and, considering the fact that they are solid, they make threo good meals. The hard tack is enly used to a large extent upon invasion q marches and like excurs‘ons. Siways | where a campaign of aetive fighting be- gins the troops are well supplied wi'h the tack, so that they may have bread ready cooked. The large supply of hard tack sent to Tampa makes it ecr- tain that the troops there are ready tc invade Cuba. for un'ess an invasion was contemplated the immense supply would not have been sent.

There is one great practical advants age to women that comes from train- ing or from proper exercise that is as much a matter of beauty and attrac- tion as it is of health—that is her car- | riage.

Far away out in the deep Pacific ecean exists a small strip_ of) land which shows that it has a sweet little allegiance to any country. Govern- ments often experience considerable trouble in preserying the allegiance of people they haye conquered, but as a rule a piece of property or real es- tate has been looked upon as likely to remain in the same place for a eonsiderable period of time. This lit- tle island, which has received the name of Falcon Island, proves an ex- ception to the rule, however.

Mrs. Fails Front had been the lead- | ing spirit in the movement to call a meeting of women to protest against the theater regulations which c for the removal of women’s hats in the various New York temples of Thespis. She visited seventeen different ladies and urged them to attend; she pro- cured the use of a hall for the meeting and when the ladjes came together she made no less than five speeches, de- claring that the removal of hats in the theater was an iniquitous innovation that the women of this great and glori- ous land of the free should rise up and crush, Her vehemence was so noticeable that after the iniquitous innovation had been duly*crushed by weighty pre- ambles and resolutions several women who attended the meeting were won- dering why she threw so much spirit into the crusade, “She was so flerce in her denuncia- of the hat-removal regulations,” dM n Howles, “I never saw earnest before.” said Mrs, Wiilard Henderson, have any good reason for be- so ardent?” Reason!” cried little Mrs. Gadsby Teller. “Did she have any reason?
