Amid the jeers and mock applause of the under-class men of the univer- sity, the seniors who take military in- struction from Captain J. T. Nance marched according to orders into his | classroom in North Hall this after- . noon. Two weeks ago the same students rebelied against Nance's requirement that they form in line in the roadway before the hall and march quietly into | his classroom. At that time a mob took possession of the roadway, hoot- ing and jeering Professor W. A. Set- who tried to quiet them, and preventing any who wished to obey Nance's order. Captain Nance at once ordered all suspected of complicity in the affair to make explanations to him, or be dropped from the class and lose their degrees. His investigation is still in prograss. The effect of the inquiry upon the temper of the students was noticed to- day, when the time for marching into classroom came. The seniors formed in lines, under the direction of section monitors, and i arched into the build- ing. Sophomores and freshmen shouted in derision, but the seniors took their medicine quietly, while Captain Nance watched the procession from his classroom window upstairs, smiling approval at the spectacle. The under-class men then dispersed, without further demonstration. UNIVERSITY EVENTS BE LEY.

As some of President Roosevelt's critics claim to have discovered, after reading his letter of acceptance, that while he is peaceful enough now he is | preparing for war, it may be interest- ing to call their attention to the fact that the army, so far from being in- creased, is of less strength than it w: the summer before he succeeded to the Presidency. The actual strength of the regular army, including the hospital corps, the Porto Rico regiment and the Philippine scouts, was, June 30, 1901, 2940 officers and 78,646 enlisted men; to- tal, 81,686.

There is nothing more extraordinary than the effect produced by reiteration upon the public mind. Almost any non- sense makes an Impression it only ‘it is repeated often enough in print. The fortunes r:ade by seaps, hair washes, patent medicines, patent aids to cook- ery, etc., are witnesses to this. curious fact. There is a form of self-advertisement which proves even more pointedly than commercial advertisement the wom{,r- ful potency of assertion. It is some- thing far subtler than what we have been discussing and appeals to a small- er and more select public. In this case the deception goes further, but it is necessary to obtain the full effect that a person who makes the assertion should himself belleve in its truth. The power to deceive with which the seif- deceived are often endowed is remark- able. ¥ By countless assertions a stupld mn‘ can convinece himself. This is why. un- receptive people become so plg-m.d and prejudiced as they get older.—Spec- tator. —_———— One of Italy’s Weaknesses. The great weakness of the conserv- ative influences in Italy lies in the general poverty of the people and in the fact that there is almost nb sub- stantial bourgeois ‘middle class, firm- ly joined against dangerous social or industrial experiments. In the south a wretched . agricultural pemnti;. with no chance to get at the soil save as virtual serfs, stands ready to join itself with the lazzaroni of Naples and other southern cities.and the discon- tented industrial proletariat of the whole north. These elements promise 11l in case of any really general strike. —New York Mail. i ———— Wild Dogs of Central Africa. The wild dog of Central Africa, an explorer writes, is common enough.
