"The one great need of this great univeraity is a complete gymnasium, " was the accute observation of Max O'Rell while looking over the institution last Saturday. By the way, O'Rell wi;s astonished at the magnitude of the university, and at lts thoroiigh eauipment. He expected considerable but was astouUhed at what he saw and beard. He had not appreciated the great and rapid growtb. of this western world In letters and in educational facüities. He left here wlth a firni doterminatioii to come agiiin. Advanced sheets of The C.istalian, the new publIcatlOD of tlie Independents have been furnished as, and the announcement is made that the book will be on sale next Tuesday.

The last lectura In the coure of the Students' Lecture Association occurred Friday eveaing, being giveu as announced, by Max O'Rell. This disünguishcd gentleman is an Angliclsed Frenchman. He has considerable of a French accent, not enough to be troublesome to Euglish ears, but enough to cause bla hearers to pay close attention in order to understand all of his words. He caitured his hearers, however, before he had flnishcd two sentences, and the keen wit and ginoolli, clean satire was a rare treat. It was not always hls words that eaptlvated ihe bearer, but his peculiaily npproprlate gestares as well. There are 110 ragged edges to O'Rell's nrltlcUms, they are all clear cut and Bharpaa a twoedged nrord. His descrlptlon oflhe peculiar eharacleristlcs of John Buil, Samly M.-Donald and Brother Jonathan was unique, indeed. To all he gave good poiuts but at the same time part-d Ibelr pecDllarltlea unmercifully. The EnglUhman was stolld, persistent, mulisli, full of assurance, and never failed to learn a lesson taught by hls enemles. The Frenchman was just the opposlte. He was wildly enthuslastic over vlctory, tcrribly despondent over defeat, and never could be tnught a lesson by adversity. The Scotcliman was the shrewdest of all- so shrewd that it was imponible f'ora Jew to get a footiiiíf in thnteountry, the only country on the earth that he dld not enter and prosper in. The lecturer dwelt al length on the bonnie Scot, and related msny anecdotes that were taking. As to Brother Jooathan, the speaker was not so intensely aarcastic as tlic public expected but he showed np many prculiarities - especially that of Inquiaitlveneu anti cheek. The hablt of chewing tobáceo and expectoratingso freelj' he was scathing in his word picture of. The endiug of his lecture was a be;iu:lful tribute to America, bowever, for it was a wish that hls dear France mifiht become more and more like tbis great, broml, progressivp, noble republic. Shonld it ever be Ü'IJell's fortune to come here agaln he wlll be greeted warmly. TUK BOYS AT KA Y CITY.
