Those contributing were Miss Hathaway, Miss Young, Miss Wood, Miss Barnett, Mr. Outealt and Mr. Harwood. Al! signatures have been omitted, as it was the wish of some that such should be done. No attempt was made at any startling innova- tions. The number differs from others only in the quality and the source of the contributions.

I really felt it my duty to make out as good a case as possible for the edifice which is the pride of Berkeley. “Oh, yes, cement,” he grunted liberally. Then feeling that he was on familiar terms with the place, he essayed to walk along the stage to the farther exit. In spite of his efforts to appear unconscious, his manner suggested doubt as to whether the floor was substantial. Neyer- theless, he was as Doric as the columns, Compared with him, all others who have appeared on that stage were sophisticated Corinthians. AA Sonnet to the Frog--Biology II You lumpy, croaking, helpless little thing! Say, did you leave your oozing haunts to bring Us tidings of your pleasant native sphere? Why do you gaze around you in such fear? And why your wobbling legs around you fling? You spread them out as though you would take wing. 3ut no, you cannot, for I need you-—dear, % % % % = Oh, yes! you poor old thing, you well may sigh! [needs must know the way that you are built, And consequently, froggy, you must die.

The subject is a very tempting one, because it is so generous in all its char- acteristics. We may speak of the world in general to the world in general, saying the best things or the worst, and no individual will have any right to feel either flatter- ed or abused. If we were to use the same liberty in speaking to an individual, the result might be embarras- sing to all parties, to say nothing of possible disaster. And yet this very complaisance in the world in general. this trait whieh we take advantage of, is the trait which we are impelled to criticise. The world in general some- times sees its own mistakes; but, instead of rectifying them or casting them forth, binds them up with all their evil effects in neat packages, adds them to its luggage, adjusts the ever growing burden as comfortably as may be, and plods along, a little more wearily, perhaps, but wih undisturbed serenity.
