...like a coffee-mill, with a trumpet-shaped mouth. "This," said my friend, 'is the great Tunnylaff or Marking-machine. It is in use in the Great College at America. A student's name is put in the hopper, the wheel is turned, and the mouth immediately speaks a number, which is the distinguishing mark of the student. The machine talks three languages, Latin, German, and English." The next curiosity was an ancient mummy, bandaged with red tape. "This mummy has an interesting history.

...note with pleasure the revival of interest in Lacrosse. For the past week or more a considerable number of men have been on the field indulging in this game, and the Twelve, if we may believe report, is in very good condition, all things considered, and there is every prospect of a match with Columbia. While we are bound to regard with some jealousy any sport that is likely to draw away good material from the Eleven and Nine, and divide the interest to any considerable extent, still there seems to be room for all. So we wish those interested...
