As illustrating the variety of
benefits occuring from a college
education it may be mentioned
that a Missouri dentist conceived
his idea for the invention of a safe
ty razor while attending the state
university.
Thousands of dollars may be
poured in on'communities suffering
from a sudden calamity, but there
is no amount of money, no surplus
of sympathy, that can bring back
the happiness and prosperity of
the community before the visita
tion. Human aid is of little avail
in times like these. Memory is too
poignant to be lightly considered.
BANKING SYSTEM CONXICTED.
There is war and the threat of
war in Europe. Mexico is in the
thoes of a chaos-making revolution.
Europe is hoarding gold. Gold is
being withdrawn from this country
because Europe is willing to pay
the price for it. A revision of the
tariff is impending and a readjust
ment of business will be necessary
as a consequence. The laws in re
gard to trusts and big corporations
are scheduled for change. Security
values are at a low point—lower
than in many years. There is
much business uncertainty and yet
business keeps up. Exports are
still breaking records. Domestic
commerce shows no sign of halt
ing. With tariff changes at hand,
with the uncertainty created by
probable laws regulating trusts,
with war abroad, with a crop seas
on approaching, what are the pros
pects for a strain on the banking
and credit system next fall? The
country's banking system has been
convicted of inadequacy. It is a
triumph when it approximately
meets the fair-weather demands of
business. What is to be expected
of it when put under the strain
that seems impending? It cannot
be revised too quickly.
THE SERPENT'S TONGUE.
V/hile walking along the streets
the other day we overheard a cer
tain person make a remark about a
lady as she was passing. It wasn’t
a nice one either. We often won
der what satisfaction a person car
get out of making a vulgar or ob
scene remark about ladies as they
pass along the street, and the mort
we hear of such the less we think
of some men. It looks like they
could find more to do than to talk
unrespectfully of ladies. They no
doubt forget that they have a
mother or a sister, and we wager a
bet they would want to knock a
man crazy if they heard him mak.e
a nasty remark about them. How
ever, he doesn't stop to think that
some one else’s mother or sister is
just as good as his. The longer
such people live the more they will
talk. Their tongue is like a serpent
and will sting the pure and innocent
every time it speaks. Get rid of
such degenerates and the com
munity will be better off; Courier
Democrat, Russellville.
Which reminds us of what
Quincy Adams Sawyer cnce said:
“Always be thoughtful of all
women, for some of them are
mother and all of them are daught
ers of mothers.’’

FOUND IN RU!i\!S OF LYSTRA
Beautifully Sculptured Stone and Re
mains of Early Christian Church
Reward Travelers’ Visit.
_
On the great sloping hillside where
| the chief buildings of Lystra stood,
and the level plain at its foot, the only
semblance of buildings we saw, says
a w riter in the Christian Herald, were
some rough stone sheepfolds where
the shepherds shelter their timid
docks by night or in stormy weather.
Built into one of these rude sheep
folds we found a beautifully sculp
tured stone with inscriptions that
would rejoice tbe heart of an archeol
ogist.
In another part of the plain we saw
the scanty ruins of a small Christian
-church. Near it a fountain gushes
forth. This fountain is called Ayasma.
and its very name shows that it was
considered sacred by the Christians.
The most interesting site in all
Lystra is that of the temple where
Caul and Barnabas were hailed as
! gods. At least there is every proba
bility that its location has been dis
covered, for on the level plain, just
before the land begins to rise to the
hill on which the chief buildings were
situated, on its southeast side stands
a pedestal on which is an inscription
showing that it was dedicated to the
Emperor Augustus, whese worship
was connected with the chief temple.
“Here undoubtedly was the temple
of "Zeus-before-the-City,” and wonder
ful discoveries and confirmation of
Scripture doubtless await the excava
tor's spade.
Family Bulletin Board.
Get a prettily mounted scratch pad
and haag in the hall, close to where
you lay off your wraps. Hang a pencil
to the tablet. When a mother leaves j
the house before the children are
home from school she should write
on it where she has gone and when
she expects to return, and also remind
them of any duties she wishes them
to perform in her absence. In their
turn, if they go out, they should write
a message for her, so that she will
know where they are and when they
will return. If any one calls on any
member of the family during his or
her absence, it should be promptly
recorded, together with any message
that may have been left. Telephone
messages should also be written down
as soon as received. Each member of
the family should look at the bulletin
board immediately upon entering the
house, and thus no one will ever be
bothered by messages being forgotten.
Extraordinary Multiplication.
A German philosopher has calculat
ed that a single grain of wheat pro- |
duces fifty grains, and that these fifty !
will each produce fifty grains more, ]
and so on. Thus he finds that the |
grain would develop in the following |
way: In the second year. 2,590 grains.
In the third year, 125,000 grains. In
the sixth year, 15,625,000,000 grains.
In the the twelfth year, 244,140,625,
1)00,000 grains. The third year's crop
would give three hundred men one
meal, leaving enough bran to feed
eight pigs for one day. The pro
duce of a single grain in the twelfth
year would suffice to support all the
world with food during their life
time.—Bakers' Weekly.
Telephones in Turkey.
The Ottoman government has re
cently installed a telephone Jy stem in
lerusaletn for its own us'e There are
ten stations, including Government
house, the courthouse, military head
quarters and several municipal polic<
stations. The instruments used are c
the Bell system and were supplied b>
'hat company's Belgian house. Th'
matter of a concession for a public
telephone service in Jerusalem, Jafb

SPLENDID TRIBE OF INDIANS
Inhabitants of Tiburon Island, Accord
ing to Consul, Closely Approach
Physical Perfection.
United States Consul Long at No
gales, Mexico, tells of a peculiar peo
ple known as the Seris Indians, who
occupy Tiburon island, in the Gulf of
California. He says that the island of
Tiburon is one of the largest and most
picturesque in the Gulf of California
and is peopled by a most remarkable
tribe of Indians, who are noted for
their large size and extraordinary ath
letics on land and water. Those who
have witnessed their aquatic sports a1
a respectful distance declare tluw
many of them can actually walk, oi
rather run, upon the water with no
other assistance than broad rawhide
shoes. The consul states that they are
expert fishermen and huntsmen, haw
ing rigid ideas as to the maintenance
of game preserves on their island and
limiting the killing of game under se
vere penalties. They destroy all chil
dren in infancy that are malformed or
apparently lacking in intelligence. In
thill vr.yThe slanTlanl of physical and
mental conditions in both sexes is kept
very high.
The natives have no school, but
each home has a system of physical
training. No man is allowed to pene
trate the island, even if he should
riake a landing. The natives guard
•be shores day and night. It Is said
ihat njt> epidemics have ever prevailed
on the island, and disease is scarcely
known among this extraordinary peo
ple. so that the men and women are
magnificent in physical endowment.
NTo man or woman is allowed to live
beyond the age of 70, no matter how
well preserved in body and mind. By
careful selection, a large percentage
of the women have a transparent,
peachy complexion and deep auburn
hair.
ONE OF NATURE'S MARVELS
Transformation of Reptiles from Wa
ter Dwellers to the Amphibian
Stage Is a Striking One.
Every one is familiar with the an
nual transformation of tadpoles into
frogs. Tittle fislilike creatures, with
fringed gills protruding from the sides
of the neck, and a swimming tail, sud
denly change into land animals, differ
ent in shape and color, and. breathing
air by means of their lungs.
Newts and salamanders go through
a similar change, which, however, is a
little less striking because the tail,
although it loses its swimming web,
persists in the adult condition. The
Mexican axolotl, of which there are
always a number of examples in the
reptile house at the London Zoologi
cal Gardens, is a very large newt,
black in color, with a pair of long
fringed gills at each side and a swim
ming tail, the web of which runs
along the back toward the head. It
lives entirely in water, and breeds
freely in a condition which represents
the larval stage of common newts.
This axolotl was for a long time
believed to represent a type of am
phibian which had not ret acquired
the adult stage. More than 50. years
ago, at the Jardin des Plantes, in
Parle, it was reported that some of
the axolotls had become transferred
into a well-known .Mexican *.ilaman
der known as Amhiystoma, and which
was a typical land animal, without
gills, with a lizard-like tail and ter
restrial habit. The evidence was defi
nite.
GOT ONE ON CHARLIE MANN
Well-Known Washington Off cial for
Once Was Not as Wideawake as
He Usually Is Found.
Charles H. Mann is noted for his
charity and geniality. Ilut above these
qualities is his pride in discharging
his duties according to the letter and
the spirit of the rules which govern
him. He is the superintendent of the
press gallery of the house of repre
sentatives in the national eapitol. has
a total of 21 silver hairs on his head,
and is believed to have been the first
white baby born in the District of
Columbia.
Last summer charitable Charlie, on
account of his wide acquaintance with
the newspaper correspondents and ed
itors throughout tlie country, was
asked to guard the door leading to
the newspaper men’s section at the
Baltimore convention, and to admit no
one unless he exhibited a certain
white card entitling the holder to a
seat in that section.
After one of the evening recesses
of the convention, when the corre
spondents were rushing back to their
seats, a finely built, snappy-looking
young man brushed by Charlie and
left with him a white card. Later on
Charlie looked at it and read all there
was on it, which was as follows:
“Please make a small donation to
buy me a wooden leg.”
“And me,” said Charlie, in great
self disgust, “a wooden head."—Pop
ular Magazine.
Writer’s Cramp.
Biological tests by scientists at the
London hospital show that “writer's
cramp" and other similar states of
apparent muscular paralysis are actu
ally due. not to the tiring of the mus
cles, but to brain fag. It appears that
the particular part of the brain which
controls special combinations of mus
cle action, such as the movements of
writing or the working of a telegraph
key. tend to become more quickly ex
hausted in some individuals than oth
ers. Such exhaustion leads to a state
in which the brain is actually unable
to send out its necessary messages
to the hands and fingers to write, tap
a key. hold a violin bow and so forth.
Furthermore, once the nerve cells,
the “batteries” of the brain, got thor
oughly run down it is not easy to re
store their energy. Heretofore it has
been supposed that all troubles of the
kind were due simply to overtiring
of the muscles concerned.
