REBUKED THE DEAH.
Th» Theological Student Got His ft*
venge tn ■ Few Word*.
Thirty years ago Alexander Schmidt
[ was dean of the university at Dorpat,
j in the Russian province of Livonia.
| "The Bloodsmlth," as the students
called him because of his researches
concerning the circulation of the blood,
j was noted for the severity of his dls
| clplinew An amusing Incident is told
of him by an army chaplain in the
! Zeltung der 10. Armee:
A certain theological strident once
wanted to get leave from the universi
ty to attend his sister's wedding. The
dean refused the necessary permission
on the ground that the reason was too
trivial. The student was greatly of
fended both because be wanted to go
to the wedding and because he sus
pected that Dr. Schmidt had not be
lieved that his excuse was a true one.
Accordingly he was determined to get
some kind of revenge.
It chanced that on the day after the
affair he was reading St Paul's second
letter to Timothy when he suddenly
saw a very clever way to get satisfac
tion. Laying down the Bible, he wrote
to the Dorpat newspaper and ordered
an advertisement Inserted in large
type that said simply, "II Tim. ir,
14-15a."
Every reader of the paper, surprised
by that line, reached for his Bible and
looked up the verses. Imagine the
amusement of the university students
when they found that the passage was,
"Alexander, the coppersmith, did me
much evil; the Lord reward him ac
cording to his warks; of whom be thou
ware also."
BURNING THE LEAVES*
A Foellah Wilt* of What Might Be •
ValuabU Fartlllxap,
Many tons of valuable fertilizer are
wasted every year through our practice
of raking the fallen leaves from lawns
and parks into the street and burning
them. We destroy one of the best of
nature's fertilizers, that on which she
relies for the renewal of the vegetable
humus In the soil
All nature's protection is removed In
the interest of tidiness, Then we won
der why lawns must b« so frequently
resodded and why grass seed "won't
catch." The fallen leaves protect the
roots of grass and shrubs from the
freezing and thawing of winter and,
deposited In a corner of the back yard
with a little earth thrown over them to
prevent their blowing away. In a year
or two are converted into what the
forester calls "duff," an organia ma
terial which makes the loam thst
grows the farmer's best crops.
It is an excellent top dressing for the
lawn and enrichment for flowers and
shrubs and, mixed with a little ordinary
earth, a most desirable soli for filling
the window boxes and repotting plants,
something bard to get in town. It is
invaluable to the amateur gardener
who utilizes his back yard, and yet it is
almost invariably wasted. We pay
thousands of dollars every year for
phosphates and nitrates and overlook
this valuable product of nature's labor
atory.—Detroit Free Press.
Nature's Monument t« Waahlngton.
Among the many monuments to
Washington Is the one which every
visitor to the Cape Verde Islands will
remember as one of the moat colossal
and marvelous freaks of natural sculp
ture in existence. Along the farther
side of the harbor of S&n Vicente, the
principal town, rises a bold ridge of
dark gray volcanic rocks, the crest of
which forms an exact likeness cf oar
Immortal George, seemingly lying face
upward, as if In a peaceful sleep. The
hero's large, bold features, the back
ward wave of the hair, his massive
shoulders and even the frill of the shirt
front are all reproduced oa a gigantic
scale with wonderful exactness. The
strange monument, sharply outlined
against the deep blue of the tropical
sky, Is one of the first objects that
meet one's eye In approaching the
Island.
Vanua and Jupiter.
The "earth's twin sister,'* Venus, Is
67,000,000 miles from the ran. I* re
ceives more beat than we dcx Very lit
tle Is known of Venus, and so few
markings are seen that It is not known
whether Venus rotates on Its axis once
In twenty-four hours or one# In 225
days.
Jupiter, the giant of the suns fam
ily, is covered with a shell oi clouds
which change so rapidly that condi
tions there can be Interpreted only In
one way—that Jupiter Is so large and
It has cooled so slowly that It la still
far too hot to support life.
Value of Knowledge.
Knowledge Is like the coin of ex
change. A man Is Justified, to a de
gree, In taking pride In Its possession
If he himself worked over the gold of
It and tried to coin It or, at least, If
he came by It honestly, already tested
out But when he did not do anything
of the kind, but Just got It from some
passerby who threw It Into his face,
then what ground has he to boast of
lt>-John Ruskln.
Abnormal Situation.
"It Is a wonder the majority of
stenographers In business offices are
feminine."
"Why Is It?"
"Because that Is the only position
left in which a woman will let herself
be dictated to."—Baltimore American.

BABIES MORE LIKELY TO DIE
THAN SOLDIERS
It Is safer to be a soldier in the
trenches than a baby la a cradle,
according to figures quoted by
the Women's Auxiliary Committee,
Minnesota Commission of Public
Safety, Council of National Defense.
"Whil© the death rate of men in
the trenches is about 2 per cent an
num, the death rate of babies un
der 1 year in Minnesota is 7 per
cent," says a recent report fronl
the committee. "Thus it will be
seen that it Is safer to be a fight
ing man at the front than to be a
young baby."
WILD ANIMAL SHIPMENTS
j Yellowstone National Park is
growing in importance as a propa
gating and distributing center for
certain kinds of wild animals. Dur
ing February last 55 elk, 13 of
which were bulls, were shipped to
points in four states—Idaho, Illi
nois, T«xas, and Minnesota. The
Yellowstone contains more wild ani
mals in a state of nature than
any othor preserve in th© world.
It is the policy of the Department
of the Interior to part with super
flous elk, male buffalo, beaver
and bear to. Federal, State, county
and municipal authorities, for ex
hibition and propagation, where
laws exist which will properly pro
tect them.

Doan's Kidney Pills are for weak

Thousands of grateful users en

' Mrs. A. R. England, 728 YV uax
St.f Hillsboro, Ore., says: "Two
years ago I had such e bad attack
of lumbago that I wasn't able to
get up or down stairs. When I sat
in a chair I could hardly get up
again. Sharp pains, like a knife
sticking me in my back, nearly
killed me and I could hardly drag
1 myself about. I had taken only a
few doses of Doan's Kidney Pills
when my back got stronger and one
box made me able to get about as
well as ever. Since then I have
never had any trouble with my back
or kidneys."
Price 60c, at ail dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy —
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mrs. England had. Foster*
