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# in Scribner’s Magiutinp. i 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 PELTS BY THE MILLION. 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.

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.” Whereupon her friend inter rupted : "How foolish that is, isn’t it, dear?
