TAP DAY AT YALE.
What It Mean* to tho Junior* Who
Have -Mad* Good."
The three- groat sealer societies of
Sale—Skull and Bone*. Scroll and
Key and Wolf* Head—choose on tap
day fifteen member* each from the
Junior class, th* flftoaa members of
the outgoing senior close making tho
choice. Each senior 1a allotted his man
of the juniors and must find him In
the crowd at th* troo and tap him on
the shoulder and giro him tho order
to go to hla room. Followed by his
sponsor, he obeys, and what happens
at the room no ono but the men of the
society knows. With shining fq$e the
lad comes back lator and Is slapped
on the shoulder and told. “Good work,
old mian,” cordially and whole heart-
ly by every friend and acquaintance—
by lads who have “made** every honor
possible, by lads who havo “mode"
noticing, just as heartily, for that Is
the spirit of Tala.
Only juniors room la Durfeo hall.
On tap day an outsider Is lucky who
has a friend there, for a window is a
proscenium box for tho play—the play
which Is a tragedy to all but forty-five
of the three hundred and odd juniors.
The windows of every story of the
graystone facade are crowded with a
deeply interested audience. Grizzled
heads of old graduates mix with flow
ery hats of women. Every one is watch
ing every detail, every arrival. In
front of the hall are a drive and room
for perhaps a dozen carriages next the
fence—the^ famous fence of Tale—
which rails the campus round. Just
Inside it, at the northeast comer,
rises the tree. People stand up In the
carriages, women and men. The fence
Is loaded with people, often standing,
too, to see that tree.
All over the campus surges a crowd—
Otudents of the other classes, seniors
who last year stood In the compact
gathering at the tree and left It sore
hearted, not having been “taken;"
sophomores who will stand there next
year, who already are hoping for and
dreading their tap day; little fresh
men, each one sure that he at least
will be of the elect, and again the
Iron gray heads, the Interested faces
of old Tale men, and the gay spring
hats like bouquets of flowers.
It Is perhaps the most critical single
* day of tho four years’ course at the
university. It shows to the world
..whether or no a boy, after three years
of college life, has in the eyes of the
student body "made good." It Is a cru
cial test, a heartrending test for a boy
of twenty years.—Mary B. & Andrew#

They Were All “Pill*." |
One of the fashionable east side
churches recently witnessed a funny
Incident at a choir rehearsal. They,
Were prepairing for the following Sun- 1
day morning a beautiful selection, the
first words of which were, “1 am a
pilgrim-’’ It so happened that the
music divided the word "pilgrim” and
made a pause after the syllable. The
effect was most amusing. ‘The soprano
sang In a high key "I am a ptl” and
then Stopped. The tenor acknowl
edged that he was a "pH.” and
when the bass came thundering in
with a like declaration, "I am a pH,"
It was too much for the gravity of
the singers, and they roared. No
amount of practice could get them
past the fatal pause without an out
burst, and the piece had to be given
up.—Musical World
Te Stop Hiccoughs.
Simple cases of hiccough aro often
relieved-by such measures as sucking
Ice or taking salt and vinegar, says the
New Tork Medical Journal. Pulling
the tongue forward and holding it for
some time Is an effective procedure.
Sometimes obstinate hiccough is re
lieved when the patient Is strong by,
having him bang with tho arms ex-'
tended and grasping some beam or
pole, so that his feet do not tonch
the floor. With all the abdominal
muscles tense, have him hold his
breath as long as possible. Sneezing
Is very efficient in certain cases, since
It Is the exact opposite to hiccough, 1
being a sudden expiratory act

MoSwIney’s Gun.
Near Horn Head, County Donegal,
Ireland, there Is a hole in the rocks
called McSwtney’s gun. It is on the
seacoast and Is said to have connec
tion with a cavern. When the north
wind blows and the sea is at half
flood the wind and the waves enter
the cavern and send up jets of water
from the “gun” to a height of more
than 100 feet The Jets of water are
accompanied by explosions which may
be heard for miles.
A Silk Producing Caterpillar.
In Assam, Where the natives call it
“eri," a silk producing caterpillar has
been used for silk spinning for cen
turies, but, strange to say, its employ
ment for the purpose has been restrict
ed almost exclusively to that region.
One of Its advantages Is that its co
coons are not sealed Uk* those of th*
common silkworm. One end of the co
coon Is closed only with converging
loops of sllfe. This renders it unneces
sary to kill the insect when Its silk
London Pin* 8aJ*e One of the Marvels
of th* Commoroial World.
An interesting sight in London is
one of the great periodical sales of
raw skins and furs held at a fur
Warehouse in the city. The magni
tude of the trade and the vast
amount of money involved would
surprise any one who visited one of
these sales for the first time.
At the premises in Great Queen
street one can wander from floor to
floor piled with thousands upon
thousands of skins until one begins
to wonder where all the creatures
they once clothed lived.
Upon the “bear floor,” for in
stance, some 10,000 Russian hear
skins are at times to be Been. These,
however, represent only the number
which is to be disposed of at a sin
gle sale.
Some of the smaller and com
moner skins, such as raccoon and
opossum, are handled by the mil
lion.
Skins of foxes of various species
are imported in vast quantities, and
it seems marvelous that so m'apy of
these wily creatures are secured by
the hunters. The prices of foxskins
range from a few shillings each up
to huge sums for a skin of the king
of all furs, the exquisite silver fox.
As much as $2,500 has been paid
for a single costly skin, which can
be found in fairly large quantities
at most sales in the Russian Bable.
In many parts of the world ani
mals are reared and farmed either
partially or solely on account of
their furs. Thus in Switzerland
enormous numbers of goats of a
special breed are kept upon the
mountains, their skins being uti
lized generally for hearthrugs and
motor clothing. Rabbit skins, too,
are of so much commercial value
that the breeders of Dutch rabbits
make a special study of the color
and texture of the furs.
The most wonderful fur‘farms in
the world are to be found upon the
wild islands which dot Prince Wil
liam's sound, off the inhospitable
coast of Alaska. In these far north
ern regions enterprising individuals
have established colonies of bine
arctic foxes. These creatures can
not be tamed., bnt they Jqjd _$])

Woeful Leek of Confidence.
A prominent actor tells about a
Chicago theatrical woman about to
wed who was one day amusing her
self by going over tho marriage
service. To a friend who discov
ered her, prayer hook in hand, she
said:
“I always make it a. point to do
this, for no matter how well you
may have known a part in the past
it should always be rehearsed be
fore the piece is revived.” ' Then,
rather playfully, she read the*words,
"Till death do us part.”

FEEDING. THE CHILDREN.
Building Up Diet Recommended by at
New York Phyelolan.
Parents of young and growing
childreh will study with interest
the following possiblo solution o£
the problem of what to feed them
on, prepared by Dr. E. M. Sill, a
Hew York physician, for tho Med
ical Record.
Dr. Sill suggests this schedule in
compiling a diet for both healthy
and malnourished children: One-
half hour for breakfast, 7 to 8 a.
m.—glass of milk, baked apple or
orange; cereals—oatmeal, cracked
wheat, farina, hominy, etc.; two to
three tablespoonfuls of one of these
cereals, with cream and milk; eggs,
one to three, according to the ag®
of the child, either soft boiled,
scrambled or poached or in the form
of an, omelet, or a lamb chop or fish,
for variety occasionally; one to
three slices of bread three-eighths
of an inch thick, with butter.
Ten a. m., an apple, a banana, a
couple of graham crackers or a
small glass of milk; one hour, for
dinner, 12 to 1 p. m.—-soup, bread
and butter; meats—rare steak, rare
roast beef, mutton or chicken (fish
may be given once a week). From
one-eighth to one-fourth of a pound
of meat should be given, according
to the age and capacity of the child.
Baked or boiled potatoes, with but
ter and salt or stewed with milk,
and a green vegetable, such as spin
ach, carrots, string beans, green
peas, cauliflower, squash, a puree of
dried soy beans or dried peas, may
be given three or four times a week
at this meal, or baked beans may be
given, one to two. tablespoonfuls,
and this will in a measure take the
place of meat; a glass of milk.
Hominy or rice may be given three
>r four times a week (two to three
tablespoonfuje); a simple dessert
