COLLEGE ADMISSION TESTS
Princeton university has Just vot
ed to fall iu Hue next year with
Harvard and Yale in co-operative
uction with other colleges iu en
trusting supervision oi June en
trance examinations to the col
lege entrance examination board.
Dartmouth's recent independent ac
tion, quite the reverse of this
trend, is the exception proving a
rule taat has commended itself at
last to the more conservative and
individualistic of the eastern col
leges, and that if followed, here
after will give a certain uniformity
and standardization to the process
of admission such as some educators
have loug wished to see.
Put with the new and alternative
form of admission examination
•vhieh some cf the crlleges are
trying, and which the entrance, ex
amination board enforces as well
as the older form, this alignment.of
Princeton, Yale and Harvard with
the other colleges, marks a new
era of federation, and It solidifies
the ranks of the institutions de
clining to accept the certificate
plan of admission and that insist on
tome test of a formal kind which
may be said to stand for the col-,
leges' ideals of what scholartnip
should be in secondary Bchools.
Broadly speaking it may be said
that the outcome of the past gen
eration's experimenting with the
two methods of admission, by cer
tificate and by a special formal
test carried out by the colleges
singly or co-operatively, has been
to disclose merits and also defects
in each plan. The future evidently
is to set something like a compro
mise and also considerably more
flexibility of standard to suit new
conditions, especially to meet the
public'.v iusported secondary schools
and uuuersitiea with their more
independent and democratic ideals.
It has been the imperative neces
sity ot getting recruits for
their freshmen c'asses from the
public high schools and from regrioia
of the country where the state uni
versity competition is keen that has
led the older Atlantic seaboard in
stitutions to cease holding their
aloof and severely Independent pose
about entrance admissions. Har
vard's experiment with the new
method hag been long enough to
show two things; that it draws men
now fron: a wider contributing area,
and that students who elect the
simpler and partly certified sys
tem of admission maintain an ad
mirable standard of scholarship.
STOCK RAISING TO
HE ALASKA INDUSTRY
Seattle, June 17—F. E. Ryus,
who with his brother, owns a com
tf. et* drug anil jewelry store at
Ketchikan, is in the city on a
business rrip in connection with a
livestock project upon which the
brothers have embarked. They have
leased an island containing 60,000
ac^es near Ketchikan and will raise
cattle, hogs, and sheep for the
northern markets. Mr. Ryus is in
the city to arrange for getting breed
ing stock for the range. The. ex
periment has already proved a suc
cess as far as hogs are concerned,
a few having been on the island
for two months, .where they are
thriving.
"Stock raising will prove to be
one of the best of the industries
o' the northern country in my
opinion," declared Mr. Ryus re
cently at the Rector. "There is a
lot* of good grazing to be had and
if the winters are not luiy worse
than last year's, cattle and other I
animals may stay outside the great
er Dart of the time. We have a lease
on an island which contains 60,
000 acres and most of it is suitable
for pasture right now."
Mr. Ryus doesn't think that
Kotchikar will lose much money .on
account cf the competition of Prince
Hubert for the halibut eaten.
"Fishermen, with ordinary catches
will more than likely Btop at
Ketchikan to sell, while any time
they nave a lull load they will go
oa to Seattle," he said. "The mild
curing of salmon will he a failure
this year, as there is practically
no market now that Germany is not
buying. The eighteen .canneries
ndjacent to Ketchikan, however,
are at. present planning to run to
full capacity, which will help to
comDeiisate for the loss in .the
mild curing end of the fishing in
dustry.—-Seattle P.-I. I

RURAL AMERICA.
Our Country as It Was In the Tim* of
Georga Washington.
The America of Washington's dny
was primitively, racily rural. The
country outnumbered the city thirty to
one. It outvoted nnd outlnflueneed the
city. The country was countrified
without urban qualities or depend
encies. Not even the cities themselves
were citified. Philadelphia, the great
st of them all, with the finest shops,
the best houses, the most extravagant
people, was but a poor, small triangle
of houses, with its base on the Dela
ware and its apex stretching timidly
toward the west. Its people, though
reputed gay and luxurious, went early
to bed. rose early and were without
the opportunities and distractions of
modern urban life. There were no
great factories, no armies of workmen,
no extended commerce, no horse ears,
no omnibuses, no sharp differentiation
of the city into business and residence
sections. Like envious New York and
aspiring Boston. Philadelphia wasi still
half rural.
A great city was not desired nor
even contemplated. To "the fathers"
the very conception had in It some
thing unwholesome. A city was a
dwelling place of turbulent. Impious,
Ignorant mobs, of a congregation of
"unproductive" artisans, wastrels, crim
inals, Sabbath breakers. It was a
blister on the social body, a tumor
which absorbed the healthy Juices.
The city was vaguely associated with
royalties, courts, armies, beggars and
tattered. Insolent, rascally mobs* the
country was the cradle of republican
virtue nnd democratic simplicity. Jef
ferson. having in mind the squalid ag
glomerations of the old countries, con
gratulated America on being rural. De
Tocqueville in the thirties believed
that the absence of a great capital city
was "one of the first causes of the
maintenance of Republican Institu
tions."—Walter Weyl in Ilnrper's Mag
azine.
CURIOUS CARD TRICK.
It Deal* With Odd Numbers, and the
Explanation le a Mystery.
There Is a puzzle which may be per
formed with any odd number of ob
jects, playing cards being usually em
ployed, and which any one can do, but
no one seems able to explain the rea
son for It. Let us suppose the numbei
selected to be twenty-seven cards, al
though fifteen or twenty-one would do
just as welL
After having them Bbuffled hold them
In the left hand face upward and then
deal them face upward one at a time
In three piles so thnt the fourth card
comes on the first and the fifth on the
top of the second and so on until you
have three piles of nine cards each.
Request any person who Is watching
you to make a silent note of any card
he pleases, and when you have finished
dealing to tell you in which pile the
card lies. By picking up the three piles
again one at a time as before, the not
ed card will reappear. Ask In which
pile It came that time and place that
pile In the middle as before.
Upon dealing the cards Into three
piles for the third time note carefully
the card that comes In the middle of
each pile. With twenty-seven there
will be nine' in each pile and the fifth
will be the middle card. Now, when
the person who selected the card names
the pile In which his card comes you
will know It was the middle card of
that pile. With this knowledge in your
possession you can finish the trick in
any manner you please.
This Is only a statement of results,
but what Is the explanation or reason
for It? What Is the rule that makes it
always come out right, regardless of
the number of objects used, so that it
is odd?—New York Sun.

The Use of Iron.
Irou has been known to men for h
eery loug time. In the time of the As
syrians It was extensively used. Iron
saws, knives and other tools having
been found by Ijiyard «t Nineveh.
Homer refers to the forging of Iron,
while the liardeulng and tempering of
steel appear to have been operations
In common use among the early
Greeks The employment of a kind of
bellows for the forging of tools, pre
sumably of Iron, figures In Egyptian
sculpture of 1500 II. C. Cast Iron ap
pears to have lieen discovered about
350 B. C. Through the agency of the
Romans the manufacture of Iron was

A l^le to Depend Upon a Well
Earned Reputation
For months Alaskan road ere have
seen the constant expression of
praise for Doan's Kidney Pills, .and
tead about the good work they
have done. What other remedy
'•ver produced such convincing proof
of merit?
Anthony Miller, 431G S. Puget
Sound Ave., Tacoma, Wash., says:
' I had lameness across my kidneys
and neadaches and dizzy spells. I
suffered from a constant backache
■vhen on my feet. I tried .every
thing but got nothing that would
remove the trouble until Doan's
Kidney Pills were recommended to
me. They quickly strengthened my
back and removed the lameness. I
was Soon able to sleep well at night
and got up in the morning feeling
refreshed, instead of being more
tired than when I went to bod."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get loan's Kidney Pills—the smie

unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and tills tube restored to Its normal condi
