ROMANCE IN VARSITY TOWNS
Seems to Be Part of the Atmosphere,
at Least in English Centers
of Learning.
The romantic story of the adoption
of an innkeeper’s daughter by a rich
banker, recently unfolded in the law
courts, reminds one that Oxford and
Cambridge are the birthplaces of ro
mance; for hearts are always young in
the university cities.
Many happy marriages can be
traced to that long standing institu
tion, the Sunday afternoon tea in North
Oxford and the residential suburbs of
Cambridge, but the greater romances
find their origin in dances at rectory
barns or even in the country inns.
A popular hostess at one of the im
portant embassies today lived less
than ten years ago at a humble inn
within three miles from one of the
ancient English universities. Her
husband fell in love with her when
she was yet at school. He made no
secret of his affection, but actually
entertained the whole of her school
fellows to pleasure excursions, mis
tresses and masters sharing in the
tun.
A similar romance which happened
recently at the sister university would
create a sensation in society circles
and in the family of one of our mer
chant princes if the facts were known.
The eligible young man, says the Eve
ning Standard, whose return from dis
tant parts of the empire society hos
tesses were keenly awaiting, forsook
single blessedness two or three years
ago, and is now enjoying domestic
bliss with the daughter of a local
tradesman.
HOW HE RECOGNIZED THEM
Youthful Picture Gazer Was Not ln>
pressed by Beauty of the Faces
of the Madonnas-
An art missionary was giving an ex
hibition of pictures to a crowd of set
tlement children. One small boy
aeemed especially interested in the
Madonnas and listened attentively to
Iker explanation of the meaning con
veyed by each picture.
When half a dozen Madonnas had
been shown he cried out excitedly:
"Here’s another of them like we’ve
had before!”
The earnest young woman turned
with surprise. “Why, did you really
evcognize it?” she questioned.
“Yep—yer c’n spot ’em every time,"
was the prompt response.
“Can you, truly?” she queried,
touched and pleased.
"Surest thing you know!” the small
critic replied.
The art missionary thought a mo
ment, then said softly to him, “Yes,
you are right. You can distinguish
them from other pictures. There is a
tenderness, a beauty, a sort of brood
ing mother-love such as you never
•ee anywhere but in the face of Mary
as she looks at the Child Jesus.”
"Naw, ’tain’t that!” was the dis
gusted rejoinder. “It’s them rings
around their heads that gives ’em
away!”
Accounting for Courage.
"I think,” she said, hesitatingly and
With downcast eyes, “that you’d better
speak to papa.”
“Os course!” he replied promptly.
“That’s easy. The only thing that
troubled me was the interview with
you.”
"You’re not afraid of papa?” she
said, inquiringly, opening her eyes in
astonishment.
“Afraid!” he exclaimed. “Why
should I be?”
"Really, I don’t know,” she an
swered, “but it’s usual, you know.”
“Oh, I suppose so,” he answered in
the off-hand way of the man of the
world. “With inexperienced men there
would be nothing surprising in it, but
I have taken the precaution to lend
him money, which is still unpaid.”
Then it was that the beautiful girl
realized that she had caught a genuine
financier for a husband. —Stray
Stories.
King of French Thieves.
Franchomme, who bears the title in
Paris of “King of Thieves,” has been
condemned to three years in prison.
He is the hero of 70 thefts, his prey
for the most part having been Pari
sian jewelers. M. Franchomme has
been employing his spare time while
in prison writing his “memoirs,” in
which he boasts of his marvelous dex
terity. Le Cri de Paris quotes a
passage from these memoirs, which
are soon to be published: “My thefts,
my swindles, will figure into the thou
sands. Paris is truly the city par ex
cellence to produce a man so resource
ful in his adventures, having at hand
an inexhaustible spring of stratagems.
I have employed in this city a super
natural intelligence and no end of
novel inventions to obtain money. I
have turned the same tricks in Paris
and London and Brussels, but in Paris
I did more of them, until at last the
Parisians could no more allow them
selves to be taken in.”
Outdoor Sleeping Apartments.
To convert a small upstairs porch
into a sleeping porch, place half-inch
brass rods at the top and bottom of
the opening on each side and on these
curtains of light silkoline or similar
material. These can be slipped back
and forth on the rods like sash cur
tains.
Those who have never had the ex
perience of sleeping out of doors will
find it a real joy and the improvised
quarters will become an indispenwt'A
part of the home.

ACTIVELY HOSTILE TO MAN
Sctenthrt Points Out Why Instinct to
Kill Insects Has Root In Self-
Preservation.
Our instinct to kill insects at sight
is perfectly sound, writes Dr. Woods
Hutchinson. Out of the quarter of a
million species now known to science,
a mere handful are even remotely
helpful to man, and most of these only
by their power of living upon other
and more dangerous insects. On the
other hand, thousands of species are
actively hostile to man, his food
plants and to his domestic animals.
Whole tribes have been swept out of
existence by the attack of insects car
rying bacilli —as within the last two
decades in Central Africa by the dread
“sleeping sickness,” carried by the
tsetse fly. Whole nations have been
weakened and crippled and whole civ
ilizations retarded by another insect
borne disease —malaria. Indeed, re
cent investigators have advanced the
theory that the historic decline in both
Greece and Rome was largely due to
the ravages of this disease, brought
into Europe by armies returning from
wars in Asia and Africa. It may yet
come when we see things in their true
perspective that the warriors of civ
ilized nations will turn from slaugh
tering one another to battling against
our insect enemies. Turn every bat
tery of artillery in the world against
that angel of the pestilence, the com
mon house fly, and In ten years he
would be exterminated root and
branch. With him would go half of
our 50,000 deaths In the United States
every year from the summer diseases
of children, two-thlrds of our dysen
teries and cholera morbus and one
fourth of our typhoid, with not a lit
tle of our tuberculosis, our tetanus
and our boils and blood poisonings.
WHEN INDIANS MAKE HASTE
Their Terror of the Dead Cause* Nav
ajo* to Hurry In the Dieposal
of the Body.
Another practise of the Navajos
that promotes health among them,
however repugnant it may be to us, is
their disposition of the dead. In the
presence of the living, the Navajo is
without fear, but his terror of the
dead is abject and unreasoning. The
dead are believed to be possessed
only of malevolent feelings toward the
survivors, with unlimited powers for
working evil upon those who careless
ly place themselves within the power
of the spirits. So when any one dies,
the only anxiety of the surviving rela
tives is to get rid of the body as
quickly as possible. If there are any
white men living in the neighborhood,
an effort is made to induce them to
perform the offices of undertaker. If
not, the disposition of the body de
pends somewhat upon circumstances.
If the hogan—the modern wigwam—is
built of wood, it is set on fire and
burned with the body in it. If of
stone the body Is usually taken out
side, the entrance to the hogan closed
up with stones and sticks, and a hole
made in the wall opposite to permit
the evil spirits to enter and depart,
and to warn passers-by that the struc
ture belongs to the dead. If the death
occurred in a rocky country, the body
will likely be taken to some crevice
and thrown in it. It may be left un
covered, to become the prey of wolves
and coyotes, or sticks and stones may
be cast over it. If the family lives
in a sandy part of the reservation,
with no convenient crevices or chasms
near by, the body will be laid upon the
sand, a little earth and some stones
thrown upon it, and a pile of brush
laid over all.
Found New Species of Microbes.
A new species of microbes, the ac
tion of which has developed a new
form of disease, has been developed
by Mme. Victor Henri, a bacteriologist.
She subjected the baccilli of anthrax
to ultra violet rays, which changed
their nature and shape. Then the
modified bacilli were injected into
guinea pigs, the result being a slowly
developing disease of a totally differ
ent character from that of anthrax.
Mme. Henri deduces from her discov
ery the possibility of evolution in the
bacteria world, as in the animal
world, and expresses the opinion that
the multitudes of existing species
come from a few primitive forms,
which have undergone transformations
under the action of light, and have en
gendered the varieties of germs re
sponsible for the diseases known to
science.
Fight With Mud and Water.
One of the oddest annual contests
in the world, a mud and water fight,
during which the women of far-off
and little-known Bhutan, in the heart
of the Himalayas, seek to prevent the
men from taking possession of an
inundated rice field, is described by
John Claude White, late political offi
cer in charge of Sikhim, Bhutan, and
parts of Tibet within the sphere of
British influence, in a communication
to the National Geographic society.
The event is known as the spring
ceremony of blessing the rice fields.
Victory for the women portends, dur
ing the coming season, fertility of the
soil and increase among the flocks
and herds.
Seismograph as Witness.
Seismograph records have fre

SLUGGISH LIVERS
STARTED PLEASANTLY
No Need to Risk Disagreeable, Dan
gerous Calomel Now That Dod
son’s Liver Tone Takes Its
Place.
Plenty of people—thousands of
them—have found that it is no longer
necessary to risk being “all knocked
out’’ by taking calomel when con
stipated or suffering from a sluggish
liver.
Nowadays Dodson's Liver Tone
takes the place of calomel.
What calomel does upleasantly
and often with danger, Dodson’s
Liver Tone does for you safely and
pleasantly, with no pain and no
gripe. It does not interfere in any
way with your regular business,
habits or diet.
Os course, this reliable remedy has
its imitators. But Dodson's Liver
Tone has been made to take the
place of calomel from the start.
The label ou the bottle has always
said so, beginning with the first
bottle sold. And it is widely
known today how good Dodson's
Liver Tone is as a remedy and that
Dodson never makes extravagant
statements. He says that it “livens
the liver,” overcomes constipation
agreeably and makes you feel good,
and if you are not satisfied com
pletely with it Dr. J. B. George will
hand back the purchase price (50c.)

made without true merit to back
them up and it is easy for you to
prove them for yourself at no cost if
not satisfied and convinced.

The Difference Between COM FORTand
Just as a hair may divide the false from the true, so
may a spring prove the difference between comfort and
discomfort. And comfort is a very desirable condition.
It is restlessness at night and loss of sleep which produce ner
; vousness; which undermine health. In too many instances the
j real cause is not thought of. Are you laboring under discomfort
which robs you of a night’s good rest? Perhaps your bed is not
equipped with the proper spring. Perhaps the spring is too weak
| in some places and too rigid in others and has an uneven surface.
