SIGNS OF EARLY SPRING.
Some Seen by Prof. Von Joggleby
from Hie Study Window—
Backyard Scenes.
“I know when spring is at
band,” said Prof, von Joggleby,
according to the New York Sun,
“by the things I see in the range
of backyards in view from my
study window.
“In the sheltered corner of some
of these yards, where it is pro
tected from the cold winds and
where it gets not only the direct,
but from the sheltering fences,
the reflected rays of the advanc
ing season’s warmer sun, the
grass begins to grow green while
yet there may be in other parts of
the yard patches of snow and ice.
The eager grass responds to the
first call of spring.
“And so do the dwellers in the
houses to which these yards are at
tached. On that same day in some
of these yards there were people
out raking up the winter’s debris;
the scraps and pieces of paper,
and the twigs and the sticks, left
on the ground after the melting
away of its winter covering. They
had sensed the approach of spring
t 1 1 1 _ • _ J M
itIILI llicv Were urauiug auu vu
the first occasion, anyway, they
were moved no doubt not so much
by a desire for neatness and trim
ness in their several yards as by
an inward prompting to get back
to them once more; to mother
earth.
“It doesn’t matter to me what
the ground hog may say, or how
many other indications may
point, I always know when spring
is at hand by these two signs, by
the coming green of the tufts of
grass in the sheltered corners of
my back yard, and by the appear
ance of my neighbors at work
cleaning up.”
NOT THE ORIGINAL BOAT.
Shell Seen by Visitors at Columbia
Not the One in Which Her
Crew Won at Henley.
Columbia students and gradu
ates will be disappointed to learn
that the old shell hung in the uni
versity trophy room on Morning
side Heights is not the original
boat in which the Columbia crew
won the Visitors’ Challenge cup
at Henley in 1878. The shell, says
the New York Sun, occupies the
most prominent position in the
room and has been pointed out to
every visitor as the only American
boat manned by a college crew to
win at Henley.
The first doubt as to the authen
ticity of the boat was expressed
several months ago by Francis
Sedgwick Bangs, a trustee of the
university, who has always been
prominent in Columbia’s rowing
interests. Subsequent investiga
tions harp shown that on the dav
before the Henley crew sailed for
America Capt. Goodwin sold the
two shells which Columbia had
taken to England to Cambridge
university, where they were used
till a very few years ago, when
they were broken up.
There is some consolation for
the Columbia men in the fact that
the oars used by her crew in this
race, which are also on view in the
trophy room, are the real ones
brought back by the crew and sub
sequently presented to the uni
versity.
The Summer Season.
When one reflects upon the
delightful weather which pre
vailed so generally in October,
says Four-Ttack News, and the
even more perfect weather in No
vember, it naturally calls forth the
query, “why do we call ‘the sum
mer season’ from July 1 to Sep
tember 1?” It is absurd! June
and September,—even October
and often November gives us more
delightful weather than July and
August. I, for one, vote unani
mously for a longer summer sea
son, for a fuller ^period in which
to enjoy the beauties of nature,
for nature is so varied in her
moods, and bo lavish with her
charms that she deserves more of
our attention, and the more atten
tion we bestow the more we learn
to admire her every phase and
fancy, and the more we admire
the better off we are, for every in
fluence which nature exerts is for
the good.

KEYSTONE OF
Kimball Kano
STRUCTURE.
The szale of the Kimball Plano la the keystone of its unsurpassable quality, the founds*
tion of its great musical worth, the cause of its popularity with artists and musicians. Perfect
piano scale-making is a mathematical problem figured out by sound waves to the merest fraction
of a sezond. Not all piano makers strive for perfection along this line (many making no pre
tense), but out of the few who have nearly reaJhed the goal,
Kimball is Prom ment.
i
One of the most perfect musical scales is displayed in the zultivated human voice. An
Inperfect scale piano is like a person who cannot sing correctly—it’s worse because all do not
jlaim to sing. It costs money to cultivate the voice, it costs more money to perfect a piano
scale. The cost to produce a perfect Kimball scale has been no less than that of other of the
recognized artistic pianos of the world, yet because of the advantages of the largest output
from any factory, we are able to sell the Kimball at a very moderate price, quality considered
The Kimball System and easy payment plan brings it within reach of all.
