' 24: RAVELINGS. BUSINESS LOCALS. At present the demand is so great for commercial instruction, in the business branches, that the teachers in the public and private schools find their value a necessity and upon the the knowledge of these branches, many in the past year have greatly en- hanced their salaries. In fact, almost all the schools of the country are re- quiring of their teachers, a knowledge of the Commercial branches: and they are not requiring a mere knowledge of them, but they expect them to handle these subjects successfully: and if you are not a teacher, and expect soon to enter the profession, you can do no better than to take a business course at once. Besides, a wide and profitable field is open to all who may desire to follow some commercial persuit. and if so, no wise and prudent man can afford to enter upon his life calling without first fitting himself for the duties in- volved. If you are intending to lead the profession of a doctor or a lawyer, you will be all the better prepared for your work, by first taktng a business course. If you are a farmer, you neen a first class business education. The false notion that the most limited education is sufficient for the farmer, is no long- entertained by thoughtful people, but all will admit that one of the most es- sential things of a farmers education, is a thorough knowledge of business affairs. So man needs to know more concerning contracts, notes, and their endoi ' .sements, payment and collection of bills, the rules of business, the forms of banking and the laws of banking paper, more than the farmer. A knowledgs of book-keeping , is one branch of a young man ' s education. that he cannot afford to be without. Of such an education, Henry Clay said: Young men educate yourself for busi- ness; the professions are full and the age demands it. A business man for the farm, the counting house or the commercial pursuits, and you will suc- ceed now and hereafter. The Monmouth Business Colleg-e offer to the public, an education that well fit you for business pursuits, and make you strong and firm to battle with the ways of commerce. Do not delay, get a business education as soon as possible and join the throng that moves the wheels of commerce, and carries you forward to fame and for- tune. For Journal address T. F.

I! A VELINGS. Eighty-six thousand dollars have been contributed to the University of Pennsylvania since June 12. Would that such a wind might blow our way. FOOT-BALL. Half a league, half a league. Half a league onward. All in the valley of Death Rode the six hundred. ' Forward the Light Brigade! ' Charge for your guns, he said. Into the valley of Death Rode the six hundred. All that was long ago, Times then were very slow, Now foot ball ' s all the go Six days in seven. From College Seniors wise Down to the smallest boys, Each with the other vies To get the blackest eyes On the Eleven. Now when you see a boy With a bumped head or eye You need not ask him why, Or wonder even. He was a center rush, And in a desperate crush, Risking his very life, With a tremendous push Saved the Eleven. What tho ' in other days War ' s heroes won the praise. Poets sang many lays. Laurels were given? Now daily papers flame. With news of foot-ball game, Lists of the killed and lame, Who won undying fame In their Eleven. Tacklers to right of them. Tacklers to left of them. Tacklers behind them. Pommeled and pounded, (iirls would turn faint and ci ' y. Fearing their beaux would die, As they were carried by. Bleeding and wounded. Their scars can never fade. O, the grand rush they made! All under heaven. Cheer for the rush they made! Cheer for the boj ' s who played! Martyred Eleven! —I. W. C, in The Stentor. The Notre Dame Scholastic has quite a treatise on foot ball pro and con. The question is handled very reasonably on both sides, but judging- from late reports in regard to their game with Rush Medical, we would think that the advocates of the game had somewhat the best of the ques- tion. Among the exchanges on hand we notice The Holclad, published at Westminster College. The paper is well edited and deserves the support of the students. A self-acting ' sofa just large enough for two has been invented, says the Valley Junction Express. If properly wound up it will begin to ring a warn- ing bell just before ten o ' clock: at one minute past ten it splits apart, one half carrying the young lady up stairs and the other half kicks the young man out of doors. They will come high, but nevertheless several parents in town feel that one of these sofas will be a household necessity in the near future. Owing to the fact that our Ex- change ' list is somewhat short as yet, we have not been able to take many notes: but hope that by the time the next edition of Ravelings makes its appearance we will have a long and interesting list of exchanges. Do you care for your health? Eat pure goods. Scott Bros. Co.

A Missouri editor says it is caused by grass widows kissing- a fellow by moonlight. An Illinois editor says it is caused by kissing the hired girl while she is feeding hay to the milch cow. The Ottumwa Free Trade is of the opinion that it is caused by miss- ing the girl and hitting ' the cow. Hodgens ' Oysters and such.

Hodgen ' s fine confectionery. Among ' college students foot ball is one of the best diversities from study. For developing the physical man, it is not surpassed. - Besides doing- students an immense amount of good, foot ball makes the college more popu- lar and thereby increases the number of students. — Bethany Collegian.
