Z ' vy. Wliat did the ancients mean by “mixed wine” has lately agitated the minds of the Greek I. One suggested sugar and vvine, the second, wine with a straw, and the third, with assur¬ ance, combined all three, evidently not innocent as to the present custom. What can have come over tlie spirit of the ex-ed. of the Niagara Index? Scarcely a word but of commendation ii the February number. Scarcely a vituperative epithet! Can it be that he is sick? Can it be that thoughts of the future have caused him to see the error of liis ways? Can it be that his criticisms were written just after a good dinner? Or, at last, can it be that there is a new ex-ed.? What can be the matter? II as not the Medium rather a wrong idea of the meaning of the word “criti¬ cism” ? Does it mean to find fault ? Does it not rather mean to point out the beauties as well as the defects of a composition? Surely, if this is done in a kindly s])irit, it cannot fail to be of some benefit to those interested. Accoirlino- lo our wav of thinking, the lleview, from Washington, D. C., has about the right idea on the subject when it says: “Let all criticism be honest and truthful and our own pa¬ pers will feel the good result.” Our exchanges for Fehruarv seem O V to consider St. Valentine of more in¬ terest to their respective publics than George Washington, judging from the amount of space devoted to each. We notice among them three topics of considerable disturbance to our jour¬ nalistic brothers and sisters : viz,— The Canadian fishery troubles, about which great harmony of opinion pre¬ vails; whether Barbara Fiaetchie used really “to be or not to be,” and the action of Mr. Clark of Worcester in founding a new college in that city. The latter comes nearest home to us, and perhajis that is the reason Mr. Clark’s action meets with our approv¬ al. The Phillipian wishes that he had founded a college in the West. Let us see, what is that statement that has been goingthe rounds of our exchanges, that “Illinois has more colleges than all Europe”? If the same state of affairs exists throughout the West, and still the West has not sufficient educational means, by all means let the West send its surplus of aspirants for a liberal education to Worcester. They will find means enough there. H OMRD.

Multuni in Parvo redivivus! Holi- dav number just received. The Enterprise is at last true to its name in starting an exchange column. Academy Echo, why don’t yon fol¬ low your own advice, and have an ex¬ change column ? The Bric-a-Brac comes to ns tliis montli for the first, but we liope not for the last time. Spartan Your advice, if not unique, is certainly antique. Please find ns “mended” for once. The Boston Globe has quite an in¬ teresting article in the Guardian from Waco, Texas, on Barrett and Carleton. The Deland Collegiate is another, new acquaintance that promises to he a pleasant one. “Please exchange?” Gladly. Consider yourself the recipient of onr politest how, Abstract, and be as¬ sured that the desire to exchange regu¬ larly is mutual. We welcome three new exchanges, Minerva, an old friend under a new name, Our Conqdiments, and High School Times, of Dayton, Ohio. Stray Shot has hit the target of originality full in the center in its story, “The Ghost in the Meal Sack.” The idea of adojiting and converting a ghost! The Woonsocket High School Re¬ cord, in an editorial exceedingly Avell ivritten for a high school jiinim ' , de¬ fines the ])osition and ambition of Russia. A poiverful exchange column, that February one of yours, Premier! Wake ii]), neighbor, and make your exchange column as good as the rest of your paper. The Academy Bell, with others of onr exchanges thinks that a cover would greatly add to onr personal apjiearance. We quite agree, and we should be su¬ premely ha])i)y, dear Academy Bell, could we adorn ourselves with as fine an outside as yours, hut alas 1 and alack- a-day! the s])irit is ivilling, hut tlie pocket-book is iveak. Plowever,— “Hope sprinsis eternal in the human breast, Man never is, hut always to be, blest.” We’ll have a cover, sometime, with the rest. The Tilton, N. IL, seminary hoys are jubilant over their prospective new scliot l buildings, and the editorials of the h ehrmiry issue tire full of an enthu¬ siasm ivhich is so contagious that we heartily wish we had been there to join with them in signing their Jnbi- late ivhen the welcome news Avas an¬ nounced. In the literary department are two good articles on “The Study of (ierman,” and “Our Two Systems of Education.” The Shattuck Cadet tolls the chest¬ nut bell over the lifeless remains of justice in the competitive examinations for admittance to West Point. Onr sympathies are with the Cadet. The Globe, from Abbott Village, Maine, tells ns, in a very one-sided ar¬ ticle on music, tliat of the fine arts, “music, poetry, painting, sculpture, etc.”, we find hut one among the an¬ cients and that one, music. When can the Globe’s “ancients” have lived ? Are Homer, Vergil, Phidias, Praxiteles, and a long list of others, too young or too old, to claim that little from the Globe? The Washington Review is a bright paper and lives up to its breezy motto, but imagine its good exchange de])art- ment left out, and the paper ivould be less enjoyable by several degrees. We rejoice ivith the Washington schools that they are freed from writ¬ ten examinations, but are heartily glad for our own sakes that our lucky star lias not made us directly depend¬ ent on the National Congress for sup- jiort and supplies. The High School Stylus is a new candidate in the field, which iiromiscs from its initial number to tnke a high rank among liigh school jiajiers. Its editorial exjilains clearly its purpose and aim. Another article introduces us to the Brockton high school, and we feel better acquainted with this recent friend than with some of our older ones. We heartily wish it suc¬ cess. We take nj) the Academy Echo, and onr taste is gratified with the clear tint of the cover and its particu¬ larly appropriate illustrations, and with the fine paper and clean-cut type of the inside. Nor are we disapjmint¬ ed by a jiainfnl contrast between the work of the printer and that of the writers. May we suggest, though, that if room could he found on the cover for the name of the month it would he a little more convenient for your readers? The Kentucky Deaf Mute, although there are both hoys and girls in its oivn school, criticizes Dr. Gallandet for admitting women to the National College for the Deaf, in Washington, arguing that such a step will be an in¬ jury to both the young men and the young M ' omen, by taking some of the masculine tone so hard to define accurately, from the former and forcing it upon the latter. But, perhaps Dr. Gallandet is of the oi.inion that after all, the Creator did not make a mistake in placing men and women upon tlie same planet.

' The shortest and surest way to jirove a work possible is strennonsly to set about it.—[South. I am not so lost in lexicography as to forget that ivords are the daughters of eartli, and that things are the sons of heaven.—[Samuel Johnson. “Are you the conductor?” asked a lad on the exenrsion train. “I am,” replied tliat obliging official, “and my name is W ood.” “0, that can’t be,” said the boy, “for wood is a non-con¬ ductor.” Ba;tf ,ed comes from the custom, in the days of chivalry, of taking a recreant kniglit, iiersonally or in effigy, banging him nji by the heels, and making him the snliject of all kinds of indignities. How little has our word of that meaning or force! Every school, established by law, should be specially bound to teach the duties of the citizens to the state, to unfold the principles of free institu¬ tions, and to tr.ain the young to an enlightened jiatriotism.—[W. E. Chan- ning. The total value of the colors derived from coal tar is $45,000,000 and they are jirincijially used to color the fibres of silk, wool and cotton ; though the blue used to color paper and the color¬ ing of ink are exam])ies of their minor use. The great beauty of modern prints is due to tlicse colors. “Feb. 11, 1808, made an experiment of burning the common stone coal of the valley in a grate in a common fire¬ place in my house, and find it w’ill answer the jmrjiose of fuel, making a clearer and better fire than burning wood in the common way.” This is an abstract from a diary kept by Judge Bell of Pittsburg, Pa.; but before this date, in 1768, two hlaeksmiths of Wy¬ oming valley first used anthracite coal, or “stone coal,” for business purjioses. The human figure, ivhen well pro¬ portioned, is about eiglit heads in length ; tlie elbows come to tiie small of the waist; tlie tips of the fingers reach half way from the hip to the knee; the knee is about one fourth the height of the figure from the fioor; tlie liead and trunk are one half the length of the figure ; tlie lower limbs are one lialf also; the distance from the tips of the lingers, arms extended, ought to he practically equal to the height ; the length of the arm should be three times the lieight of the head.
