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.
