Sunday March 25 th a joint j
meeting of Y W C A was held
in the chapel at which time the
Nashville delegates gave their re
ports of that wonderful conven

great privilege to be brought in
touch with that immense assem
blage of students five thousand
for the evangelization of the
world and betterment of humanity
Memorial exercises were held

Ex Gov Thayer The cadets at

Prof Duncanson head of the
geology department of Peru gave
an interesting and helpful talk
in chapel last Thursday morn
ing on the new coal mine that
has been discovered near Peru
President Crabtree and Prof
Duncanson have visited the
mine several times There is no
one in the state as able to discuss
this new question as Prof Dun
canson The vein of coal dis
covered is a 44 inch one 8 inches
more than is required for the
state bounty The thickness of
the vein is increasing as the work
ers go into the earth The farm
ejsof that vicinity are refusing to
sell their land at any price
The following letter has been
received from the chairman of
the State Board of Education of
Cali I am pleased to report
that the Nebraska State Normal
School at Peru was fully accredit
ed by our State Board of Educa
tion at the meeting held March 3
This enables graduates of that in
stitution to be fully certified in
Cali without any examinations
This action on the part of the
State Board of Education of Calif
places the highest grade of certi
ficateissued by this school on a par
with the highest grade certificate
issued by the Calif State Normal
School Likewise the kindergarten
and Primary certificates of this
institution just as thekinder gar-
Resting n Model
I
Many artists have the reputation of
being Inexorable In their demands up
on the models strength A character
j lstlc example appears In an anecdote
of the late Adolphe Manel the Ger
i man painter who at one time was en-
gaged on a work of mural decoration
j and kept a man posed in an exceeding-
Iy fatiguing position on a scaffold for
two hours The great painter worked
J away heedless of his models
fort Finally the victim called down
Herr Professor how about the re-
cess
Certainly my dear sir Come down
right away and you shall have your
recess
As the model was descending from
the scaffolding his limbs assumed a
position which was one for which the
artist had long been looking
Stop Menzel thundered Hold
Ah line Keep that while I make a
little sketch of it
The artist drew vigorously for half
an hour at the end of which he called
out imperatively There that will do
for now Get up on the scaffold again
We have had our recess
The Towns Crooked Dividing Line
There is a reason for most every
thing said a Cumberland county man
when he was asked how in the world
they came to have such a crooked line
between two towns in his county
Theres a reason for this crooked line
You see some of our towns establish
ed in pioneer times when land was
abundant and people were few had a
big territory which was afterward
sliced off to make new towns It was
so in the case you mention and when
the cut off was made people along the
line of division were of different minds
as to which town they wanted to be in
So the legislature drew a straight line
between the two parts and then pro
vided that persons dwelling on lands
adjoining either side of this line might
be in one town or the other as they
should decide within ninety days after
passing the act Some went one way
and some the other and the line was
all skewed up to accommodate them
Lewiston Journal
BoardiiiK House Take Note
In view of the part that electricity
plays in our modern life it is amusiug
to recall that when Benjamin Franklin
evolved the lightning conductor he was
called to account by certain individuals
for sacrilege in attempting to divert
the Almightys lightning
Restaurant proprietors and boarding
house keepers have apparently over
looked a valuable hint which Dr Frank
lin afforded them as follows He took
an ancient rooster and killed it by a
powerful shock from one of his Leyden
j jars When subsequently the bird was
served at his table its liesn was round
to be as tender as that of a young par
tridge or so he declares This is one of
the discoveries which should make the
name of Franklin forever honored

The Sultans Kiosks
In every city of the Ottoman empire
there Is a kiosk set apart for the
sultan who never even sees it
These palatial abodes are built of
rare marbles and finished in fine
woods enameled in silver and gold
with mirrors and lusters from Vienna
mosaics from Florence and Rome and
are nominally guarded by major domos
who live there in royal ease and lux
ury unparalleled Hundreds of mil
lions of francs are thus squandered
while not a sou is spent in making
roads fertilizing valleys or construct
ing ports
Golden Xose
Tycho Brahe the famous Danish
mathematician was known as the
Wizard of the Golden Nose While
at the university he lost his nose in a
duel and replaced it with a nasal or
gan of gold held in place by cement
and a pair of spectacles This addi
tion to his countenance gave him a
very peculiar appearance and caused
him to be much feared by the common
people who attributed to him many
supernatural powers largely on ac
count of his remarkable nose
Tasmnnian Girls
For many years Tasmania has been
known as the Circassia of the colo
nies a tribute to the exceptional love
liness of its young women There have
been Tasmanian peeresses but the
pretty Tasmanian girls are mostly in
demand as barmaids for Sydney and
Melbourne Some years ago it was
elicited in evidence at an official in
quiry in Melbourne that Tasmanian
barmaids command double the ordi
nary wages for this kind of work
Two Gont Islands
Here is an extraordinary coincidence
The island lying between the American

goat island

MME FALLIERES
The II nd Hearted Democratic First
Ludy of Fruiiee
The wife of the new president of
France M Clement Annand Fallleres
is a person of much the same type as
her husband lie is democratic home
loving short and stout and devoted to
his extensive vineyard She is also in
clined to stoutness has a rotuid cheer
ful face is blessed with gdod nature
and common sense and cares more for
her home and family than society
though she is a woman of culture who
knows how to carry herself in the
Elysee palace the presidential resi
dence
President Fallieres is very fond of
long walks and when he gets hungry
he often steps into a bakeshop buys a
roll and eats it in the shop His wife
matches this democratic habit by go
ing to market and making her

chases which she does with a view to
pleasing her husbands appetite Not
that President Fallieres is a light eat
er for on the contrary he is quite
fond of his dinner but he has strong
preferences in the matter of diet and
it is his good Avifes pleasure to gratify
them Both husband and wife believe
in exercise as a means of keeping in
good health and keeping down their
weight In the latter endeavor they
are not particularly successful The
president is usually up early in the
morning and after his first meal takes
a brisk walk occupying about two
hours time He returns about 10
oclock usually in a dripping perspira
tion and takes a vigorous rub down
before going to his official duties It
is not a valet who assists him in this
task Oh no it is Mine Fallieres her
self for the head of the French na
tion does not like to have servants
around him and the first lady of the
republic has no high fiown notions
about what a lady should not do
Mme Fallieres is the daughter of an
attorney of Nerac of some note in his
time When she was known as the
beautiful Jeanne Besson her standing
in the social scale was higher than
that of M Fallieres for he was the
grandson of a blacksmith and was
born in a room over his grandfathers
forge His career as a youth had not
been promising and his parents de
spaired of making anything of him
but the young girl who accepted his
love saw the elements of greatness in
his character and her influence in the
lorry years since that time has had
much to do with his occupying the posi
tion he does today Her kind face re
flects the goodness and generosity for
which she is noted

In order to travel by such means of lo

been set at about 112 per pair The
wheels make from 1000 to 2o00 rev

will enable a person to travel at a
speed of twenty five miles an hour
The Indian nnd the Railroad
Gail Hamilton said Jf there never
were to be any railroads It would have
been an Impertinence In Columbus to
have discovered America The Indians
knowledge of the location nnd direction
of the rivers and lakes and of the po
sitions of the portages and his readi
ness under the right sort of persuasion
to put this knowledge at the service of
explorers missionaries and settlers
stood off this stigma from Columbus
before the railways came Indians
guided Captain John Smith Champlain
and La Salle through the wilderness
Indian trails blazed pathwaj s for the
pioneers through forests and over
mountains Sometimes these trails
were utilized by the railway builders

at St Louis and at the Lewis and

The Danes and Britain
John Ackworth an English dialect
novelist who made a special study of
the dialects of Lancashire Yorkshire
the east coasts and also of the Danes
shows that the Danes by their early
landings and sojournings in England
have influenced the language of the
east coasts of Britain to an extraor
dinary degree and that the Danes and
the British in spite of apparent dif
ferences are one practically in speech
and language as well as in the rela
tionship of blood So strong is the
English of the east coasts of England
impregnated with Danish John Ack
worth once said that I am sure that
if a fisherman from the east coasts of
England were to be wrecked on the
shores of Denmark and he would only
speak in his true native dialect that
fisherman would be able to make him
self understood
The Christian Era
The Christian era was suggested or
devised by Diouysius Exiguus a Ro
man monk Avho in 527 began its use
and proposed that all public and private
documents should be dated in the year
of our Lord It did not come into gen
eral use in France until the eighth cen
tury nor in England until July 81G in
Spain it was not adopted until the
eleventh century in Portugal it was
made legal in 1415 in the empire of the
east is was established by royal edict
in 1453 a few weeks before the fall of
Constantinople
Where Circulation Is Feeblest
Those who lead a sedentary life find
the circulation feeblest about the nose
lips and temples and those parts of
the face should be energetically knead
ed several times a day AVhen the
pores become distended the fine invis
ible dust in the air enters and clogs
and blackens them Mere ordinary
face washing even when warm water
and soap are used is not sufficient to
remove the dirt in the pores but the
vigorous acid of the lemon will cleanse
and carry off all such unsightly blem
ishes
Care of the Feet
The feet should be bathed at night
and this treatment is an excellent
sleep producer The water should be
salted The feet should be scrubbed
all over with a nailbrush which will
often prevent the formation of xrns
while hard spots on the soles may be
reduced with a piece of fine ornery pa
per or fine file before tho feet are
placed in water
Xot Evenly Matched

hope you will make allowances for the
fact that the lawyer who convicted me

Flowers
