He declares that McCor- nick saved his life by his own treat- ment. e McCornick was hunting through serub oak when he felt a peculiar sting in bis leg. He looked down and, saw the snake dragging on the ground as he walked. Its fangs had become fastened in his leggings and it was un- able to withdraw them. ‘With the butt of his gun McCornick knocked the snake off and then crushed As quickly as possible he ran into theg open and car- ried the snake with him. When he .its head with his heel. bared his leg he squeezed all the blood he could out of the two punctures Then he opened a gash, cutting through the two which the fangs had made. wounds and letting out the blood and poison. He cyt a plece of flesh out of the wound. tied his leg again just above the knee to stop the polson from working through his gystem. MecCornick wasmiles from any Settle- ment where he could eecure medical attention, so he started back to Grape- land. His leg pulsated with pain and | he soon became deathly sick. In his weakened condition he was compélled te rest on the road time and again. When he finally reached home he was almost exhausted and hizs leg was dreadfully swollen and almost black. McCornick says that his treatment Indians for snake bites and he has known of & was famous among the number of instances where its applica- slight McCornick used his handkerchief for bandages and then struction in the poultry department, a water tower, tank and windmill, a state road from the college to the Eagleville 1ailroad station, and the estimated ex- penses of the experiment station. Trus- tee B. C. Patterson handled the hear- ing on behalf of the college and first called on President Beach to present the college’s needs, which he did in a very concise and graphic manner. Describing the institution as a “land grant college,” President Beach first went into the fAinaneial condition of the college. Its annual Income comes fromn three sources, $6,750 from the federal land grant, $40,000 from the Morrill fund and $25,000 from the state of Con- necticut. The Morrill fund grows $5,000 per year until in 1911 it reaches $50,000 annually. The financial state- ment for the past year comes to $4,212, but of thiz $4,101 was expended for the steel water tower, tank and windmill which the trustees had to build and are now asking the Jegislature to’'pay for. This shows an expenditure net $111 over the income, which is run- ning pretty close. The need for the new water plant was so plain that Dr. Beach didi’t find it necessary to enlarge on this sub- ject to any extent and he went on Lo the other necds of the colleage. He ex- plained that there was a great need of dormitory room and that the college had not now an officer of the United States army as Instructor in military tactics, which it was required to tesch by the federal law, because it had no place in which to house him. The college has a line of 160 students and has almost sufficient equipment to give education to 150 male students, which form the requirements to be met before the government will supply the officer from the active list of the army, and the government will pay house ren: when a house can be covers this matter new dining hall and t a cost of $30,000.

T e prial 0 an mng up the horticultural which has been constructed under an appropriation made by the last gen~ eral unmvblg.“e President h went into the eral conditions surrounding the necticut college to e extent. “It isn’t a college,” said he, “ but an agri- cultural high school. We now with- hold the degree because we are able to give only three years of a college course and not four. There is no rea. son why the college at Storrs shouldn’ be on a par with that at Amherst or at Kingston or the agricultural depart- ment of Cornell university. “Half of our. graduating class this year, fifteén students, are going away to college because we are unable give them all of the education which they feel they require. Six are going to agricultural colleges,” sald Dr. Beach, in answer to a question from a memper of the committee, concern- ing how many of the Storrs gradu- ates went into farming pursuits, “an thirteen of the remaining fifteen are going into agriculture.” He went on to say that the trus- tees of the institution and the faculty had decided to make the course a five- year course beginning next fall and that this will increase the number 6f students at the institution, and in the course of a short time make it neces- sary to add five members to the pres- ent faculty. The college is able to pay their salaries and the other inci- dental expenses from the Morrill fund, Dr. Beach referred to other needs of the institution which subsequent leg- islatures would have to be asked for, and urged that all of the recommen- dations of the agricultural committee be acted upon favorably by this com- mittee and this legislature in order rot only to meet present needs, but to clear the way. He was followed by Messrs. Stad- muiler of West Hartford, Lee of New Haven, Daniels of Middletown, agri- culturists and dairymen, who are fa- miliar with the needs of the institu- tion and strongly in favor of doing ev- erything possible to aid it in the very fine work they found it doing. The Battle of Life. There is more adventure in the life of the working man who descends as a common soldier into the battle of life than in that of the millionaire who sits apart in an office, like Von Moltke, and only directs the maneuvers by tel- egraph. Give me to hear about the career of him who is in the thiek of business; to whom one change of mar- ket means an empty stomach and to adother a copious and savory meal. This is not the philosophical but the human side of economics; it interests like a story; and the life of all who are thus situated partakes im a small way of the charm of Robinson Crusoe; “for every step is critical, and human life is presented to you naked and verging to its lowest terms—Steven- son. Doctors’ Fees. “Do you mean to tell me,” agked a learned counsel, when he was cross- examining Mr. Whistler in a well- known case, “that for a piece of work which only takes you half an hour you can charge. so extravagant a price?” And Mr. Whistler's answer remains the classical apology of all learned and technical skill. “Yes,” he replied, “but I am charging for the knowledge and experience of a life- time.” A doctor’s fee may seem enor- mous to a patient who is aware that he bas only seen him for 20 minutes. It still remains true that what is charged represents that accumulated mass of hardly earned experience which distinguishes the medical profi- cient from the mere amateur.—Lon- don Telegraph. India Marriage Lottery. Every year in the Rumal country, in India, a marriage lottery is held, us ually in October. The names ‘of all the marriageable girls and of young men desirous of matrimony are writ- ten on slips of paper and thrown into earthen pots. One of each kind is drawn out at a time by a wise man. The youth whose name i{s drawn out obtains a letter of introduction to the young woman whose name accompan- ies his, and then all that remains for him to do is to start his love making at once. tuitous courtships turn out admirably Ladies Everywhere ave glad to know of the wonderful benefit thad Vidurn-O-Gia bas always beem to sufferers of their sex. > Thousands of ladie: neighbors and friends. spread the good news among thelr Others write letters for publication, that suffering sisters, unknown to them, may learn about t in the newspapers.

ARNOLD'S “GONDOLAS” IN 8IGHT. 8unk by Him in Lake Champlain. They Can Be Seen on the Bottom. Parkman’s history describes the “gondolas” which Benedict Arnold de- stroyed on Lake Champlain when he was forced to retreat before superior British forces in 1776. The wreckage may still be seen op a calm day at the bottom ef Arnold's bay. A sojourn- er in that reglon thus describes a recent visit to the bay: “The water is lower in the lake than the oldest imhabitants can re- member. It has gome down six feet since June. Ws found ope of the ‘gondolas.’ These were evidently stout, ‘wide boats, very large and strong, pro- pelled by oars, as the two oak ribs sticking up from the keel of the one we discovered piainly showed. These ribs are about five or six inches thick. “After a long struggie we sawed off a plece with two rusty nails in it; nails that are really large spikes. As the water is about seven feet deep and the top of the ridge was about two feet below the surface, the task of sawing about a foot off was heroic. It is bard oak, now quite black. “There were already six saw cuts in the plece we secured. Some other travelers had been at it and had got discouraged, which is met surpris- ing.” A Star on Stars. He was one of the leading actors of America—of international fame—and he was talking off guard. ‘“Women certalnly have the best of it on the stage,”” he said, “althoush they may not always think so. What- ever a man attains in the dramatic profession he must toil for, but & wom- an with a little bit of talent can make & hit if she has a pretty face or figure that will place her In a brief time and almost without labor in a position of financial independence—to say noth- ing of belng a popular idol. No, I trust I'm not envious, but sometimes I feel a bit discouraged when I con- trast my years of toil with the hop, skip and jump that lands a round- faced girl at the front.” The Man In the Heme. Some Newark men whose wives go a great deal to women’s olubs are preparing a memorial. They will ask the ladies to adopt the fashion of long apron strings again. Most aprons nowadays, they repert, are made with short strings that reach barely around the owners’ waists and are pinned to- gether. When a man tries to put on one of these aprons, they say, he has to tuck it into the top of his trousers or twine it around his suspenders, both satisfactory. The gentlemen of the committee pray thet apron strings be made long e to go around a man's waist and be tied.—Nowark News.
