University of Orearon. The steady topic all week has been the 'Varsity's unexpected downfall at the hands -of the Salem Athletic Club. Tho one feature upon which all agree is that the team held up splendidly against su perior weight, the disadvantage of a wet field and other discouragements. Every one decidedly favors a return game with Salem, but It is difficult to see how this can be accomplished without working the eleven altogether too hard. A good dele gation accompanies the players to Port land, and the university Is content in knowing that the men will do their best and do It honestly. The seniors have fixed December 14 as the date for their annual reception. Caps and gowns have been adopted as the prop er inslgna for the departing class. It's rather a hard task to maintain the aca demic proprieties of old England In our plain state, but the attempt will be made, hopefully at least. The first regular assembly was held last Wednesday morning at 9:50. After the usual Introductory exercises (hymn), Blblo reading and Lord's Prayer in con cert, Dr. Strong spoke to the students, especially emphasizing the fact that the university exists to teach Its students to do things, and that character is the es sential element In this doing. The seniors in political science and his tory held its second meeting, Wednesday evening, in the president's office. Dr. Strong presented a valuable paper on the work -of writing a historical monograph. He Illustrated the subject by reference to a pamphlet of his own on "A Forgotten Danger to the New England Colonies," dealing with the attempt made by Crom well to Induce the early settlers of New England to remove to Ireland and Ja maica. The university Y. M. C. A. hopes to have the state convention held under its auspices at Eugene, on December 7, 8 and 9. The meeting will be led by Some four Eastern secretaries, and attended by col lege men and others from the entire Northwest. The local association will make every effort to render the meeting, a memorable and valuable one. Last Saturday evening the Misses Friendly received In honor of the 'Varsity eleven, and their opponents from Salem. Although the occasion was not quite as Joyful as its promoters anticipated a pleasant time was passed by all In dis cussing the game and figuring out how It might have been. A consolation game of parlor football was arranged but, ow ing to Incompetent officials, no decisive result was reached. The football men left early, and the non-tralnlng part of the crowd enjoyed some dainty refresments. The literary societies held their usual meetings last Friday evening and debated tho questions of the day. with zeal and Borne understanding. The Phllologlans were especially fortunate In listening to a prepared adress by Dr. Sheldon on "The Ideals of American Scholarship." Wednesday evening, Halloween, the usual student Jokes were extensively per petrated. Gates are missing, now, some NOVEL FRENCH 'HAT. The charm of this little hat la in its perfect orUrinallty. and its perfect mingling of color. The domed crown Is of changeable green and copper red llk; it is gathered three times around. On each side is a drapery of the same silk, and on the brim another of rich copper red velvet. Pigeons -wings of green dyed to match the silk and velvet are caught in these bows at the side, and extend toward the back, where a knot of the copper red vel vet shows between the points of the wings, and corresponds to tho smart round knot la front.

Banker's Magazine. The coinage of the half-cent Is being demanded from numerous quarters. In the early history of the country this coin did not seem to be needed. Business had not reached the degree of division and specialization that rendered It useful. In all new countries, where resources have to be developed, thero is a disregard for detail and of small things. As civili zation progresses and population increases, the trading and every-day business is done on finer lines. Convenient small coins for use In small transactions conduce -to economy and saving. In California ln the pioneer days there were no coins less than a dime. All transactions In which change could not be exactly made, less than a dime, caused a loss to one side and a gain to the other. For a long time California affected to despise nickels, but the advantage of mak ing closer and juster change gradually rec ommended Itself, and now even the cop per cent is gaining ground In that state of great resources and large Ideas. The demand of the half-cent comes from those sections of the country where the struggle for existence Is becoming more difficult, and whore the subdivisions of business and competition in prices cause the loss of even a half cent In making change a serious matter. There are many things sold for a cent which would be sold for a half cent If such a coin existed. The dollars would probably take care of them selves better If the half cent were In exist ence to be taken care of than they are now, when the cent Is tho least coin that can be looked after. To add the half cent to our coins would increase the profits of small dealers, and the possible economies to that class of people who are obliged to make small purchases. As It is now, either the seller or purchaser In these small dealings, which by their number are of great importance, loses or gains. To save a cent each day amounts to $3 65 a year, and to save a half cent each day effects a saving of one-half of the same. The country should have the half cent. Siberia and Emigration. Fortnightly Beview. Becent investigations have shown that while the white emigration to Siberia has been considerable, It has been neither permanent nor beneficial. In 1833, accord ing to a recent Consular report, it amounted to 223,981 souls, but In thr first six months of the same year over 53 Cf 0 returned penlless to Bussla, having taild to find a livelihood. Those who remained are described as pauperized by their priv ileges and doing little or nothing to de velop the country. On the other hand, the Chinese are everywhere overrunning the land. As the white man elthej ob jects to work altogether or requires ex cessive wages, Chinese labor haa bconv a necessity. On all the public wjrks it Is employed, being paid less than hall the pric.e of white labor. In the wak? of the workman comes the Chinese ped dler, and even the Chinese merchant. The movement is fed by an immigration and colonization scheme founded by the Chinese Government in Manchuria and Mongolia, which has proved far more successful than the similar Bussian or ganization In Siberia. At one time it was thought that, owing to the facility with which the Busslans consorted with Asi atics, the result of this Immigration wo' Id be the Slavizing of the Chinese.

THE OLD HARVEST CRADLE. O back I turn back to that harvest field. To that old. familiar farm. "Where the waving grain, like the rolling main. Was the cradler's pride and charm. Where the plowman's toll and the virgin soil Made the train in grandeur grew. When I was young and the cradle swung. Forty years ago! O Joyful tune, thoco days In June, Was the bob-o-llnk's sweet soar. When the drooping ear and the bursting spear Proclaimed the harvest on; When Ceres bold. In her robes of gold. Set heart and head aglow. And I was young, and the cradle swung, Forty years ago! That golden field of bounteous yield From the long lane stretched away To the old rait fence removed long sine And the field of fragrant hay; To the great green grove, where oft I'd rove. On the banks of the Ohio. When I was young, and the cradle swung, Forty years ago! At early dawn on the harvest mora. Our scythe we ground with care; Then all went forth In the bloom of youth. Our brawny arms made bare; With a steady swing our scythes would ting On the stubble clean cut low. When I was young, and the cradle swunsv Forty years ago. Side by side, with a mainly pride. The cradlers swept their way. While binders fast raked off the last Clean slip their cradles lay, O the binder's strife and the cradler's Ufa Bad a slashing, dashlnrr flow. When I was young, and the cradle swung. In the State of Ohlol The singing scythe, by the whetstone plied. Was music dear to me. While the cool brown Jug or gurgling mug Was under shock and tree. 0 glorious days, your deeds I praise And memory backward throw To the cradle swung, when I was young; Forty years ago. Alas, one day & reaper gay. Of cogs and wheels galore. With neighbors queer from far and. near. Came to the old barn door! 1 opened stra'lght the old red gate And laid my grapevine low. When I was young, and the cradle swung. Forty years ago. I cut one swath around that lot. As oft I'd done before; Then ray cradle flung from the burning sua In the shade forever more. As the sickle's day had passed away. So my rrapevlne had to 'go. Though I was young, and the cradle swung; Forty years ago. That cradle long In the oak has hung. And tho rust on Its shlnln; blade Has gnawed Its steel from tip to heel. And Its flnzers rot In the shade That graceful grapevine vnath I loved The wind swings to and fro,. Since I was young, and the cradle swung; Forty years ago. The witling hands that cleared thoee lands. And the cradle swung that day. Have lonff since met their reaper Death! And slee? acrosj the way. And from their temb look ou in rjloom On the self-same field below Where I was younz and the cradle swung. Forty years ago. MacM AHOK, Portland, Or, November 3, 1000. Vulcan was laughing Immoderately, when Jupiter Inquired the reason for th hilarity. "I Just dropped a thunder peal out thero on a cloud and Mercury slipped on it." chuckled Vulcan.
