A. , ‘ Now it chanced that having journey- ed far by land and on the sea, I came again to a penulous city, large and prosperous, called in the tongue of the barbarians, Lindsa, but which in the Greek tongue would be called Pelopol- is, or the city of mud. And it lieth far toward the north star and is nigh unto a region where men may not dwell because of the cold. And fol owing, as is my won’t, my eager longing for knowledge -of the And fol'owing, as is my won’t, my eager longing for knowledge -of the purs; its of men, I betook me once more to the schools, and chiefly to one c lled “The Poor Man’s College,” Tho' why it sht'uld be so ca led I know not, unless it be from the poverty of the priests who conduct the lectures. And there met me at the door of the college a certain old man, exceeding grim and fierce ct’ countenance, con- cerning whom one ot the youths told me twat he was a Briton and bad serv- ed in the Imperial war-galleys, and had been, moreover, a man of great prowess,and that the tame of his deeds had spread through the land, and that through’ the gratitude of the Queen he had retired with a pension, though what a pension is I know not, but I observed that he bore in his teeth a slender S‘em with a bowl at the end, and that he sent forth from his mouth great clouds of smoke whereof his quar ers, which they call the basement, } Stank exceedingly. He, therefore,‘ conducted me to a little pen small and narrow, which they call the “Room of the Priests.” And when I had waited for some time there came one and pull- ed a string, whereat a bell rang violent- ly and then came in the chiet priest, whom they call principal, and other priests came also, whom they ca‘l as- sistants, and a priestess. And I ob erved moreover that all of them were {air and tall, save only the chief priest, but therein was a just degree of Pro- vidence. inasmuch as wherein he lack- ed by nature heze he compensated in rank. But he gave me most kindly greeting and straightway told me ot all those tnings which I desired to know. This column will be open And he declared that he had been much distressed of late by frequent thanges c; the staff, tor that one of the prests had gone farming. having prev- itusly had a predilection thereto, and that another had walked off, and that another had gone far toward the sett- ing sun, to the land of the Yukon, be lured by the iove of gold. And he told me many marvellous thisgs that the youths did. the like whereof I had never heard in any otter land. For there came to the youths not only many holy days, but also a certain evening which they call the Hallowed Evening. To me, ac- cordingly, tot having thought much upon the matter, it seemed that the time whuld be set apart for prayer and fastin'r with much meditation on man s sir nfulness and the t mptations of the Wicked One But he told me that on the contrary, the evening was given up to merry- making, for that the maidens boil d tiffey which they sup plied to the \ ouths and tr .at many of the youths became sick, but wh;ther the taffcy contained a philtre whereof the youths became lovesick, or wheth~ er he meant a certain other kind of sickness, I have not to say. And the youths, too, dlsported themselves With many mischievous pranks, which they are exceedingly fertile in conceiv- inJ. For they rang door-bells an carried off gates, and some would cast at the doors, cabbages whereof the heads had been removed, and that certain youths were even known to throw rotten eggs, and that in former days they delighted to vis.t one of the , priests, by name, Timotheus Agricola and had borne 03' from his house saundry pumpkins and squash and aquantity of ice-cream wherewith he proliosed to regale himself. And he said that on the last oc- casion, whereo’n the awning was ob‘ sened the youths invaded. the back- yards of certain of the priests, uttering war ike cries and discharging theis pea-shooters, and that they called often let the ret In antâ€"Ah for Doodle and hlary also had been; STUDENTS CORNER.

Perry Loucka,¢-0n§table Office of the Clerk of the another party being led by some youths called General and Shorty and Gulliver had seized upon the chariot of a certain dealer in lumber and had placed it upon the steps before the door of the Halls of Minerva, and the other entrance, also. they barricaded ; with sticks of timber frcm the pile wherew th he of the grim countenance, who dwells in the basement, keeps fire in the furnaces to heat the halls wherein the priests lecture. And they left, moreover, a greeting to him .of the grim countenance, when he should return to his toil in the morning. “And this” said he. “you may, even now, see with your own eyes.” Bcâ€" I hereby certify that the foregoing is a correct Dec. 151:, 1899. mg conducted, then, to the window of' II. B, I beheld the timber lying on the ground. W.P.A-â€"S-â€"M.R-â€"-E. “And now," said the High Priest, he that is called Principal, “I know the voices of the youths.” So in the morning these youths, with much shame of countenance, bore hack the wood to the place where it had been ,taken and they drew home the chariot of the seller of lumber and the Gener- al, as was meet, had a fine ride. And many other things told he me, such as for number would fill a book, concerning cadet corps, and certain fresh youths in II. A, and concerning1 a lecture course and the perversity of some who break written premises and concerning Part I. and Part II and Junior Leaving and Matric, but of these, 0 Reader, if it please the gods we shall discourse to you again. 5‘ L6 0‘ 6‘ fl U‘ 6‘ ‘3 Q6 5‘ ct H “ 6‘ t6 H £l Allin, Nina .................. ..1 Stewart, Edith ................ 1 CareW, Annie ............ .. . . . .I Allin, Louise. ....
