And Attendant 111# Relieved
By Taking Black-Draught.
The Rev. Granville Ed
wards, who lives at School-
field, near Danville, Va., was
troubled for a long time with
constipation and its attend
ant ills, which kept him from
feeling fit He writes:
“Luckily I then, which was
about twenty years ago, heard
about Black-Draught and be
gan to take it. After tak
ing Black-Draught for a little
I notice'’ that my trou
ble began to disappear. The
poisons, which had accumu
lated in the body, as a result
of constipation, were elimi
nated, and I felt a hundred
per cent, better. The dizzy
feeling, which I had felt al
most every morning before
breakfast, was gone.
“Black-Draught is a house
hold artlclo with us. Wo al
ways keep it on hand."

raris.—Though college yells are
missing and university grid learns un

ing to France by the thousands to
round out their education, statistics
revealed by the American University
union in Paris show.
Exactly 5,87.0 Yankee students are
enrolled in French universities, and
tlie vast majority are working in the
arts or the liberal arts, the report
divulges.
The University of Paris, of course,
leads ail oilier institutions, with 1 000
Americans enrolled. Of lids nuinbei.
3,0.11 are in the school of letters, 7-12
taking the special course de civilisa

tlie rector of the university to give
tlie American student a general and
broad view of European and” especial
ly French culture.
Forty-eight are in the Sorbonne pre
paratory school and the other 2-11 are
scattered through the oilier depart

Rat Killing Profession
of Two College Girls
New York.—Overcoming the fem
inine aversion to rodents, two college
girls. Miss Helen Caldwell, graduate
of the University of West Virginia
and Miss Evelyn Wagar, graduate of
the University of Minnesota, have
adopted rat killing ns a profession.
“We have already exterminated rats
in important cities in 39 of the United
Statue, two provinces in Canada, Ha
waii, Alaska and many Mexican bor
der cities,” .Miss Caldwell said. “As
we travel in our own automobile we
have had much sightseeing and pleas
ure as well as profit out of cur pro
fession, and we can recommend it to
other college girls. - ’
Miss Caldwell got. her original idea
from a community rat drive In Vir
ginia, during wlicli she learned the
use of barium carbonate, the most
effective rat poison known, from her
study of chemistry in college.
£\cw York.—iRiga well known a mV
generally well liked along the IJoweff*
for the last ten years, a good, agree
able, nll-rgund dog except for one ee
centricity, is in need of a new home,
preferably a nice, quiet, sequestered
home in tlie country where there are
no uniformed policemen. Tlie eccen
tricity, as may be guessed, concerns
.ifhifornied policemen. .Rags has had
tlie quirk since lie.'was a small puppy.
He lias not suppressed the desire be
hind it, however, so .his psychic state
really ls*not so bnfl. Spine civilians,
in fact, may find Rags’ psychic state
instinetly refreshing.
Rags hates uniformed policemen,
Oh, liow Rags hates uniformed police
men! When lie was a small puppy, it
seems, Rags whs clubbed In the mouth
by n uniformed policeman, losing two
of Ids front teeth. Since then a still,
small, but very insistent voice inside
Rags has whispered, “Sic ’em!” when
ever a uniformed policeman was sight
ed. It lias been a source of continual
worriment for Michael Fosset, wlio
lias taken care of Rags for the last
six years.
Recently, Mr. Fosset, who is sixty-
four and lives at (lie Majestic hotel
at No. 208 Bowery, decided after
weeks of consideration that Rags
should, for his own good, leave the
Bowery, where uniformed- policemen
simply abound. So Fosset carried
Rags to the Ellin Prince Speyer Hos
pital for Animals at No. 350 Lafayette
street. He is fairly comfortable
there, since he found out tlie blue-
coated attendant was not a uniformed
policeman, but naturally tlie hospital
is not a permanent home.
New York—Boor Harriet Knllon.
Her life is to be just one psychologist
after another.
They are going to study her every
gtlrgle, make notes on her first laugh
ter, catalogue her first curiosity, ana

.. They want to know why she wig
gles Lor loes and they hope to find
out what makes her put liar fist in
her mouth.
Harriet doesn’t know that she Is to
he the object of such close observation
for the sake'of science, for she is only
six weeks old.
The reason for nil this is that Har
riet's family is just naturally inter
ested in psychology. Her father, Dr.
Horace M. Knllcn, is a lecturer on
philosophy and esthetics and has been
on the faculty of I’nnMon, Harvard
and Hie University of Wisconsin. He
Is a disciple of William James and
lias written books.
Tlie child's mother is the head^ cd

Rninliniu. England.—The impor
tance of Great Britain as a •‘•field for

borne opt by several importantMiseov-^
cries made by workmen durirtfc exen-

Bones which arc believed foli.wo
belonged to two ancient Britons who
f\4>re buried at about file time f!f'Janus
Caesar's invasion were found In a
stone coffin which was unearthed two
feet beneath the surface.
The coffin was hewed from a solid
block, while the lid was composed of
1 two large atone slabs and several
I smaller stones. Fragments of bone
| were found inside,
j A quantity of rubbish was also
I found inside tlie coffin, but one in-

The finds are expected to be turned

for thorough exam nation.
Why Hearing Apparatus
Varies in Many Ways
Tlie hearing apparatus of animals
is like that, of human beings, but mod
ified to 'Suit the conditions of the an
imal's life. Deer, hares and horses,
j like nil animals whose life nccessi-
| tales keen hearing, have ears shaped
‘ and set in the best way to catch faint
I or l’ar-of? sounds. The snake lias no
I eardrums. 'In2 car of the fish is a
| membranous labyrinth connected with
the bladder by a series ot IHUe bones.
Though the sense of hearing is per
fect only in the higher animals, even
the animals that have no ears per
ceive sounds.. Instead of ears they
m-e supplied with fine nerves whose
function is- to note and to fespoiul to
every touch; nerves whose receiving
centers’ nre.different fropi the centers’
of Hie purely ’tactile impressions. All
animals, including insects, have an ap

Paris.—A deaf and dumb hairdress

job of executioner of France. The
job, to their disappointment, isn’t
open, for Anntole Diebler, who in
herited it, doesn’t intend to resign.
Besides the coiffeur, 11 boxer, a law
yer, throe engineers, and a bridge
builder have asked for Ihe appoint
ment as headsman, a mechanical
trade now, since Ihe guillotine does
the work.
Deibler. believing in heredity in of

“widow," as ihe machine is tailed,
and to press the button that drops

to offer a well-trained man as his suc

to retire to the country and “plant bis

Dr. D. A. Urquhart, who attended

she weighed 112 pounds, but when the
doctor was called she had taken no

Goats Replace Dogs
in Laboratory Work
Tuscaloosa, Ala.—Resourcefulness Is
as necessary in the scientific lubcvn-
tory as It is in industry.
Dogs nre among tlie most valuable
animals for laboratory study in the
medical sciences. In tlie South, how
ever, they are difficult to obtain. Re
gardless of their lack of any sort of a
■dignified pedigree, hardly anybody Is
■willing to part with them, even for a
good price, In tlie interest of training
physicians and surgeons to alleviate
the ills fo human beings.
No sucli sentimental feeling, how
ever, attaches to goals. And they
abound in the South. So Dr. George
T. Back of tbe University of Alabama
■medical school lias turned to these
mammals for experimental work in
surgery and pathology, finding them
valuable substitutes for dogs and
much less expensive. They are not

Why Called Marines
The word ‘‘marine’’ is derived from
the old French word “mnrin,” meaning
“sea soldier." The United States Ma
rino corps is an independent branch
of the military service, and, though
under the direction of Ihe Navy de
partment, may lie detailed by order of
Bit.- President for service with the
army. The duties assigned lo the Ma
rine corps are to garrison the navy
yards and naval stations and the de
fenses erected for their protection; to
furnish to all battleships and cruisers
and other vessels, when necessary, a
•detachment-for guard duty and also to
assist in the handling of the ships’
guns. A mobile force is also always
held in readiness at the Marine bar
racks as tlie first line for foreign serv
ice when tlie occasion may arise.

Why Termed Slush Fund
A slush fund is a political cam
paign fund collected for the. purpose
of iniluoncing public opinion by im
proper means. The term originated
in the British navy. It was formerly
customary on war vessels to sell ffiush
and other refuse in Hie ships in order
to raise a fund to pay fbr small ’lux
uries and pleasure of tlie mdn, relates
Pathfinder Magazine. Slush is tt soft
mixture of grease and other mate
rials used for lubrication and protec
tion of wood, especially masts and
spars. In time the term "slush fund”
came to he applied to a fund obtained
by-selling all worfiotft equipment and
kitchen refuse from a military camp
or war vessel. Tin political applica
tion of the term is quite rccen’t.

Why Cab Drivers Are Jehus
Because Jehu, the sou of Jehosl.a-

vinely anil miraculously chosen to be
king of Israel, was identified by tlie
watchman cn. ihe tower of Jezreel
through his furious driving in a char

“Jehus.” "The driving is like the driv

Prodigies Sacrifice
Childhood, Says One
New York.—A belated child

prodigies, believes Jascha 110i-

prodigy class himself-.
“The parents of littlo Yehudi
Menuhin, the boy violinist who
so startled New York Ibis sea
son, are very wise in retiring
tlie youngster for tlie rest of tlie
season,” Heifetz said. “A very
few appearances a year serve to

Why Toad Swallows Skin
It is a well-known fact that the com
mon toad molts or sheds its outer
.skin several limes a year. Tlie skin
is swallowed by the toad after it is
sloughed. XVlitit part this peculiar
phenomenon plays in tlie economy of
nature is somewhat of a mystery. The
United States biological survey thinks
the swallowing of the skin is meioly
Incidental to shedding. Toads, says
Unit authority, nre rather clumsy In
their actions nnd movements; appar
ently they swallow the sloughed skin
in their efforts to free themselves
from the incumbrance.
Why Ship Reaches Bottom
If an object heavier than water is
dropped into deep water it will go on
down. Tlie question Is brought up
after nearly every shipwreck nnd was
the subject of much discussion in 1912,
after the Titanic was sunk. The
views of- physicists seem to confirm
the experience of marine explorers
that there is no ground for the belief
that objects heavier than water are
held iu suspense at a definite pressure
