This practice has pwing in the American univer- pring" the past decade, but as of the universities have taken cognizance of 'the student's in this matter,~—they have not to consider the plight of the han who is forced to work his ough, qfio must offer his ser- his fellow student. Princeton :m} #ulated ithe hours of ' those who work in the pnEne university dining rooms are not forced to devote all their time ta these du- ties, sbut have sufficient" ‘relaxation to mingle with thgh- classmates “‘i the dhflng table. Efld other p)BCQs. ‘The schedule’of work is also regulated so as not to confliét with the courses of study. Further, the plamadopted for the waiters makes it possible for any student to rub elbows with those of his classmates who enjoy more ma- terial goods of the world, because the routine duties of the waiter students are so arranged that each man serves but two meals a day and eats the third with his campus companions. And the meal he eats with the other students is constantly shifted so that one day he is at breakfast with them, the next day dinner, and the following day he enjoys supper, having for ‘nis waiter one of his culinary compan- jons. This is an ideal arrangement. There are seventy students at Prince- ton who will attest to this and who declare other colleges and universi- ties where students serve in the din= ing rooms would do well to follow As professional help has charge of setting tables and cleaning the dishes at Princeton, the student who undertakes to don-the white cgat and apron need lose none of hig§ identity as a student. The faculty realizing the great good done in this matter, and the worthiness of the young men who essay this ‘work, while about them are the pampered sons of wealthy parents, has undertaken to make the tasks of the working stu- dents as light as possible. Students and faculty alike are enthusiastic over the Princeton plan. They declare it to be the true democracy in college life.] The -day of the snob in university life is rapidly passing. = A man is gener- ally judged by what his mental ac- complishments are; not by the amount of money his parents have, nor by his family tree. § suit. TROUSERS FIRST APPEARED. WHEN Historians have seen fit to' disa- gree over one of the most important bits of human interest ever brought to the attention of man, namely the exact date Of the introduction of. long trousers, Some have. asserted that men have worn the bifurcated nether garment, 'though not in its present form, since the beginning of recorded history. - Others contend tha pantaloon ‘type of garment was in- troduced by the Scandanavians away back in the Younger Stone Age, a’ thousand and some years before the, birth of Christ. But the latest ward; on!the subject ¢omes from a'Western after many University where a professor, burning the midnight oil moons, has come to the conclusion that the trousers as worn by present day man were first brought to light one hundred years ago this- year,— 1815. A London tailor is accused of committing the dire deed that dressed man in the croased coverings for his limbs and, according to this-authori- ty, it was no less a personage than the Duke of Wellington ;who made the hideous garment fashionable. Having unearthed all this! valuable information anent the history. of the trousers, the professor and his Horde of friends have set ‘out to fix a date whereon the one hundredth anniver- the may be form the for trousers celebrated. Just what celebration would take has not been mentioned: but we suggest a burning at ‘the stake;” of-the trous- ers, to be.sure. It has been brought to light that the tailor who wore the first set of ltousers down the Strand, in London, was'promply mobbed. He got what he deserved. * The guillotine should have been made ready, for that tailor. He did nothing more nor less than make it possible for future press- ing clubs to get-all the extra quar- ters and half dollars of the young men who would tangé their “way into so- ciety, who would be well dressed. Hayv- ing had one hundred years of . the trousers it is time for mere man to assert himself, take off the hobbled garment, and go back to the good old days, the days when the flowing gar- ment was in use, the days when a Roman Senator was a much respected individual, when there was both grace and ease attached to the movement of the masculine portion of the race. We are for the tunic and the toga. To show that trousers; were very unpopular in their first:::year out, even the Duke of Wellington was driven off a ball room floor when he appeared in his first pair. - Had he not defeated Napoleon he would prob- ably have been lynched, ‘but they: let him live, and, (onsequcntiy the knickerbockers and silk Jto('kmgs were doomed to eternal oblivion. Just what should be done to the profes- sor who advocates that the centenary of the long trousers be celebrated has not yet been determined. He should be either fed poisonm, put on the pro- crastian bed, or dragged over burn- ing coals. Another quick method ot gétting -rid of him: would be shobt- ing at sunrisé. Let'no man’ come to ‘nis defense. He has brought to light sary of ‘| ployea. something which no man cherishes, the story of the first pair of long trousers. FACTS AND. FANCIES.

There used to be a great deal cof | talk about abandoned farms in the| Eastern amd Middle States. There are a good many means as many as there were a few years since. The statement is given publicity that now there are no abandoned farms in Connecticut. That seems to be pretty broad, but it may be, and probably is, practically true. There was a few years ago certainly as good land in the Eastern and Middle States un- occupied as could be had away out West, and -with larger promise of profit if intelligently and diligently cultivated.—Utica Press.

(Worcester Telegram.) The German syndicate which has been trying to buy American cotton at' fifteen cents a pound now offers §1xtsen cents for the million bales it wants. That makes a difference of $5,000,000 in the price of that much cotton, and the total of $80,000,000 offered looks large. -+ The syndicate also promises that none of the cot- ton will be used for military supplies, and therefore there is not a fair rea- son why Americans should not de- liver the goods. If the English ob- ject, send them word that they are not in charge of the husiness of Amer- icans, and if they think they are it ist time to dispel that illusion. De- liver some loads of sand at Washing- ton and advise the officials to take an occasional bath in it, just to get them into good American form.

Discussing agricultural problems a speaker is quoted as saying: “What is needed is an eight hour day on the farm.” This position is taken from the standpoint of the hired man, who, | it is argued, will not stay on the farm to work on account of the long hours, but that an eight hour day would cause an interest in agricul- ture which would advance the solu- tion of the scarcity of good farm | help. : It is argued that in addition to shortening the hours of labor better wages should be paid to farmers’ sons with ‘a higher scale of wages to all farm. laborers and that althoygh this might increase the cost of farm prod- ucts. the -ultimate results would be of 'ommon benefit, That the long hours of labor on the ! prospect of better pay WOOL FINISHED BLANKETS.

There was hardly a sign of public interest in the primaries which vere held here vesterday afternoon and evening, and the vote was a mere fraction of the number of enrolled voters and a still smaller fraction of those entitled to vote at the regular election The candidates nominated by this frac- tion of qualified voters appear even more as self-seekers for office than ever and find less difficulty in getting & the coveted place on the ticket, reg- ular or irregular Nobody is any more bound to vote for them at the election or any more likely to be satisfled with the result.
