Most of the easterner were as familiar with a Kansas harvest field as a new study of the details of a reform government on Mars. DBnt they heard the song of the harvest, sent advance letters asking for jobs, bought raiiroad tick- ets and hastened to the big fields of yellow grain. A few weeks ago a weary, sad and brcken pilgrimage started for the cast. It was the rah rah boys going hack to schools. The college yells were forgotten in a discussion of the merits of homely remedies that re- move sunburns, restore lost flesh and reliave mental anguish and distress.

A Wager Settled by Boiling Hams in Ink and Champagne (From Washington Letter to the Troy Times.)

James K. Jones, a lawyer of this town, and F. B. Conger, former | Postmaster of the city of Washington and now a contractor's agent are joint owners of a boat which is propelled by gasoline. ‘These gentlmen fre- quently organize little parties for trips down the Potomac. They go without a chef. and usually their guests demonstrate their ability to produce toothsome viands on the gas- oline stoves with which the boat is provided. About four vears ago ona of those guests, “Tony” Richardson, bragged about his ability to cook a ham in champagne. Whereupon Mr. Conger snceringly remarked that he could cook a ham in ink which any | unbiased person would decide was just as tasty as a ham cooked in champagne” In other words, as- serted Mr. Conger, ‘it makes no difference what the ham is cooked in, for it will of the material.” During the last four years Mr. Conger and Mr. Richardson have, to use a coloquial expression, ‘“‘chewed the rag” over their respective ideas But finally a wager resulted, and last Wednesday the test was made. Mr. Conger bought eight stone bottles filled with ink, and Mr. Richardson paid for four quarts of champague, and a small stove was secured and set up in the establishment of the Shoemaker company, which is one of the gathering places for newspaper correspondents, army officers, sena- tors, members of the House and other jovial people. The ink was brought | to a boil; and so was the champagne Mr. Richardson, being the advocate | of champagne as the best material in “whlrh to cook ham, placed his pork in the “wine of France” and Mr. | Conger inserted his in the bubbling black writing fluld. Three or four hours afterward the two cooks an- nounced that the feast was ready for all those who had any desire to test the products of the culinary art of | the two men, and during the next hour all visitors to the establishment, and there were more than 100, were | requested to state which was the bet- | ter. And there was not a man who could | conscientiously say he could tell the | difference between the ham cooked in ink and the ham cooked in cham- | pagne. | Unfortunately for the advocate of ink he had agreed that the other fel- low should be the judge, and very naturally the other fellow decided in his own favor. Whereupon Mr. Con- ger paid the het and settled for the | cost of the hams and the champagne and the ink. This simply indicates, if it shows anything, that ©= ham may be cooked i in elther ink or champagne or cider or water without absorbing any of the flavors of the ingredients in which it is boiled. Conger's ham was a black, nasty iooking product when it was withdrawn from the kettle, but after the outer skin and the fat had been removed it was just as palatable in every respect as the | Richardson ham.

Bailliet, dead the pedagogy schootof New York Univer- city, told the National Education as- socjation a few days ago that present day college terms are “four years of loafing.” This agrees with an article by a college undergraduate recently printed in the Outlook, which says of college courses are so easy that stu- dents slip through with little work. Yet many students, apparently per- fectly truthful, say they have to work hard to pass tests and keep out of conditions. The parent looking for a good college for his hoy or girl feels puzzled to know which point of view is correct. The bright student may get the sub- stance of a lesson in ten minutes, over which the duller fellow would work an hour. By dodging studies like mathematics and the classic lan- guages, which call for steady grind raany long hours are saved. With ten minutes hurried reading | or a subject like literature, civil gov- ernment, political emonomy, the stu- dent with ready wit and facile speech might make a far hetter showing than the slow tongued grind. The frequent cases like these indi- cate the fallacy of too many-electives. The educator with scholastic tastes may think each student is selecting the course that accords best with his own needs and gifts. But probably the majority of students pick the easy courses. A college should not with its work unless careful is given to each individual If he is slipping along on courses, the authorities need to hand cut some real intellectual wood-pile for him to saw and split. Few parents sent their boys to school to spend their time with their feet on the rlazza rail of fraternity houses, or eating and sleeping on the ball satisfied thought student. easy be | ground. The Shrewd Dancing Masters. (From the New York World.) In rejecting a revamped tango a Gance full of demi-cortes, medio-cortes and other intricate steps dear to the profession, and in indors- ing what they call the old dances for the coming season, the Philadelphia dancing masters show a becoming discretion. Signs have not been want- ing that the dance professors were killing the goose that has been laying golden eggs for them, through their too great ingenuity in deversing new steps. They have scen a light and are prudently adapting themselves to the changing conditions. That the dance craze is waning there seems to be no doubt particular- ly among dancers past youth's prime whose interest gave it added im- petus. If their patronage was not to be wholly alienated, some halt had to be called on the multiplication of new dances, and this the dancing masters are apparently now planning to do. The “old” dances in question, the fox-trot, one-step and canter, are not exactly unique. They have survived through the maze of maxixes, Argen- tines, horse-trots and what not, and as dances offering a line of least re- sistance to the learner they retain a vogue which the more compli ed steps speedily lost. Elderly observ- ers fail to see much poetry of mo- tion in them. But there they are as examples of the best that ragtime dancing can produce, and there they bid likely to stay until cobwebs grow on the last of Brodaway's tango par- lors. Is that day very far in the fu- ture? cortes How to Live to the Age of 100. (American Magazine.) .. Henry F. Swanback is the oldest 0dd Fellow in America, and lives at the age of 100 at Greenwood, Ne- braska Mr. Swanback was a boyhood friend of Bismarck's. His grand- father lived to be 117.

Shipping Gold. (Bridgeport Farmer.) In a little more than a hundred million in gold has been * shipped to this country, principally from Great Britain, to the very con- siderable anxiety of gentlemen who control the gold market in the United Elates. Plentiful gold means cheap gold. Those who control gold want it scarce enough to command a high price, With certain allowance for conditions created by legislation, gold acts like any other commoditiy Wten it is scarce it commands the highest price When it is plentiful the price tends to drop. The arrival of unexpected gold, in large quaniities from Burope, & about us welcome to monopolists in gold, as the arrival of unexpected uantities from new mines. It has, in a less degree, the same cffect as an announcement would have that gold counld be produced by synthesis, in the chemical laboratory at a less rato than current prices per ounce. The New York Press expresses apprehension in this language: “War finance ie showing us a good many things that people didn’t com- monly understand hefore, Ome is that while gold is good thing to have, it in about ag bad for a country to have too much as to have too little of it If we get all the gold we will be in the position of the merchant with his shelves full of goods, but neithes cales nor yardsticks which to measure.” Translated thig to this: Plentiful month a its by statement amounts gold is bad for the owners of gold. They will have to give more of it, for wheat The more pleatiful gold is, the more diffi- cult it will be to maintain a mono- poly of it. Therefore it is bad for the owners of gold to have too much goid, hccause other people will own gold, and the other gold will be in com- | putition with their gold. Presently men will improve their civilization until they can exchanga commodities, one against the other, and keep things moving, as long as things can be produced that pesaple necd to eat, drink, wear and use, and as ‘ong as there are workers able to produce those things We have had too much production for finance, and not enough produc- tion for use. One of the benefits of the war is the attention that has been atiracted to the industrial systems of the =everal countries. It hag been taught, #nd in some degree learned, that a country may he weak in a military sense by maintaining an old fashioned finance and industry, as well as by having inferfor drmament,
