SHORTER DAUGHTERS.
They Are Again at Their Studies—“We
, Are Mot Fairies.”
Now that the holidays belong to the
past, the students of Shorter college are
again hard at work Nearly all the
boarding pupils have returned; notone
has been withdrawn; several new stu
• dents will become members of the col
lege family; one has already arrived;
others are en route. New and old are
chanting the refrain composed by the
college poet:
•*I dearly love Shorter;
I certainly ‘oughter*,
For I am a daughter.”
By the way, the students of this in
stitution wish to be called, not Shorter
girls, but Shorter daughters. This name
brings them nearer to the noble founder
of the college, who inscribed these words
upon the corner stone: “A gift to our
daughters.” i
Another name to which these fastid
iouj damsels object is that of fairies.
•‘Fairies indeed!’’ one exclaims. ‘“lf
people could see how we make whole
some and abundant food disappear at
meal times they would be convinced that
we wou'd never be content with only a
sip of dew and drop of nectar from a
flrwer cbalice. No, fairies are out of
fashion. We are healrhy, hearty, happy
daughters, who desiie not only culture
•of mind and heart but vigor of physique.

THE NUMBER THREE.
Soma Cartons Superstitions Regarding It
In the Popular Mind.
There Is a superstitious regard for the
number three in the popular mind, and
the third repetition of anything is gen
erally looked upon as a crisis. Thus an
article may twice be lost and recovered,
but the third time that it is lost it is
gone for good. Twice a man may pass
through some great danger in safety,
but the third time he loses his life. If,
however, the mystic third can be suc
cessfully passed, all is weli. Three was
called by Pythagoras the -perfect num
ber, and we frequently find its use sym
bolical of Deity. Thus we might men
tion the trident of Neptune, the three
forked lightning of Jove and three head
ed dog of Pluto. The idea of trinity is
not confined to Christianity, but oc
curs in several religions.
In mythology also we find three fates,
three furies and three graces, and, com
ing nearer to our own times, Shake
speare introduces his three witches. In
public house signs three seems to play
an important part, for we frequently
meet with “Three Cups,” “Three Jolly
Sailors, ” “Three Bells, ” “Three Tuns ”
“Three Feathers” —in fact, the number
of almost anything of which a fertile
imagination can conceive a trio. In
nursery rhymes and tales this number
is not unknown, and if we look back to
the days of our childhood most of us
will call to mind the three wise men of
Gotham who took a sea voyage in a
bowl, not to mention the three blind
mice that had their tails cut off by the
farmer’s wife. Perhaps there is some
occult power in the number which gov
erns the division of novels into three
volumes and induces doctors to order
their medicine to be taken thrice daily.
It is said that some tribes of savages
cannot count beyond three. But, al
though they may have no words to ex
press higher -lumbers, perhaps we should
be scarcely justified in assuming that
they are incapable of appreciating the
value of the latter.—New York Adver
tiser.
Do Not Sleep on the Left Side.
There is little doubt that an immense
number of persons habitually sleep on
the left side, and those who do so can
never, it is said, be strictly healthy. It
is the most prolific cause of nightmare,
and also of the unpleasant taste in the
mouth on arising in the morning. All
food enters and leaves the stomach on
the right side, and hence sleeping on the
left side soon after eating involves a sort
of pumping operation which is any
thing but conducive to sound repose.
The action of the heart is also seriously
interfered with and the lungs unduly
compressed. Hence it is best to cultivate
the habit of always sleeping on the right
side, although Sandow and other strong
men are said to invariably sleep on their
backs. —Philadelphia Times.

, EUGENE FIELD INTERVIEWED.
That Is, He Fired Talk For Nine Minutes
at a Reporter.
Eugene Field, the humorous poet, fa
mous for his beautiful children’s verse,
I was told, had just come in from Chi
cago and would be at the Authors’ club
that night. I reached the Authors’ club
about 10 o’clock and learned that Field
had gone.
“Where?’’ *
“To Washington.”
“What train?”
“Eleven o’clock. ”
I was in Jersey City and in that train
at 10:50.
“Whip out your notebook and write
for all you’re worth,” said. Mr. Field,
throwing himself and his bag in the
seat. “You’ve only nine minutes. Time
enough, though, for two uneventful bi
ographies like mine. ”
“Never mind that. You’re fond of
the quaint and curious, Mr. Field.
What’r’ your fads, pets and so on?”
“Well, listen for your life now. I’m
fond of dogs, birds and all small pets.
My favorite Sower is the carnation. My
favorites in fiction are Hawthorne’s
‘Scarlet Letter, ’ ‘Don Quixote’ and ‘Pil
grim’s Progress.’ I believe in ghosts,
in witches and in fairies. I should like
to own a big astronomical telescope
and a 24 tune music box. I adore dolls.
I dislike ‘politics, ’so called. I should
like to have the privilege of voting ex

posed to capital punishment I favor a
system of pensions for noble services in
literature, art, science, etc. I approve
of compulsory education. I believe in
churches and schools. I bate wars, ar

for painting. 1 try not to become inter

of perfumes. My favorite color is red.
I am a poor diner, and I drink no wines
or spirits of any kind, nor do I smoke
tobacco. I dislike crowds, and I abom

and have shocking taste in dress, but 1

K'.ssaorl 4-0,000 Tears lienee.
According to the engineers of the by
drographic bureau, the level of the gull
of Mexico is one foot higher than it Wa
in 1859, and. cf course, the encroach
meut on tiie surrounding coasts has beer
greater or less, pending on their chara:
ter In some places, where themare’-r.
lands are composed of high, rocky bl nil's,
this change of level has gene on iron,
year to year without attracting attei:
tion. On the other band, many low b
ing points (some that, were once inhal
ited by the primitive irhabitants or In
the piont-er white settiers), are entire
!y submerged The cause of this change
of level has not as vet i ven ascertained,
but it is reasonably certain that it is th
result of either a settling of the dry lam:
or of a general and uniform rising or
upheaval in the gulf bed. No man who
has given the matter a moment’s thought
will argue that there is more water in
the gulf now Than there was 35 years
ago On the contrary, there isn’t the
least doubt but that there is much less.
However this may be, if this aqueous
encroachment is steadily maintained.
Keokuk will be a deepwater harbor and
St. Louis and the whole of Missouri
will be entirely submerged in less than
40,000 years from Jan. 1,1895. —5 t.

Wearing of Class Byes.
It is a fallacy to suppose that people
who wear cork legs and glass eyes are
indifferent to their personal appearance.
They are often vainer than ordinary in
dividuals.
A rich man, for instance, who is
obliged to wear an artificial eye will
wear three different eyes every day—an
eye for morning, when the pupil is not
very large; an eye for afternoon, when
the pupil is smaller; an eye for evening,
when the pupil has extended to its full
size.
A London eyemaker, who gave this
information, said he made about an
equal proportion of glass eyes for men
and women. Some people keep quite a
stock in their possession. In fact, no less
than 12 eyes have been made by my in
formant for one gentleman within three
months.
His son had got one eye made from
measurement, and that eye fitted so per
fectly that the old gentleman, in an out
burst of gratitude, wrote off for 11 oth
er eyes. The eyemaker admitted that
this was an exceptional instance.—
