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the students of Shorter college are again hard at work Nearly all the boarding pupils have returned; notone has been withdrawn; several new stu • dents will become members of the col lege family; one has already arrived; others are en route.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.

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.

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.

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. Louis Republic. 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.— Pittsburg Dispatch. Telephone subscribers please add to their list R._W.
