A Man Turkey Gobbler.

A Cincinnati Enquirer reporter paid
a visit to the inirmary of Dearborn
county, Indiana, and there saw a mon
strosity in the way of a man turkey
gobbler. The creature is about forty
years old, is named Baxter, and has
been an inmate of the institution for over
twenty years. His previous history is
unknown, and he has neither sense nor
language to tell of himself. His char
acteristics are entirely those of turkey
gobbler, and his imitation of that fowls
gobble is the only sound which ever
issues from his lips. When he walks or
sits the upper part of his body is carried
in an almost horizontal position. The
only food he takes is some cereal in its
natural state. When let out into the
ward he is sure to climb fence or tree
and roost upon the top rail or a limb
Another popularity is shown in his in
sisting on continually having several
sticks, some six inches long, in his
mouth. If these be taken away he butts
his head in grief OF rage against the
walls of his cell.

aThe Colleges OF this Country.

President Eliot, of Harvard, says IN
his annual report: There are scattered
over the United States about $50 col
leges or universities, exclusive OF instr
tutions, which receive only women. Ot
these nearly 200 have been organized
since 1850; only twenty of them were in
existence before this century, and only
twenty eight were in existence IN 1917.
More than one third charge no tuition
fee or only q nominal one (not over $50
year). There are, moreover, forty
three agricultural and mechanical col
)eges (so-called) endowed by the govern
ment. the great majority of which
charge no tuition fee. While the popu-
lation of the United States has probably
increased about tive-fold in tie sixty
years between 1920 and 1880, the num-
Der of colleges and universities has been
multiplied by fourteen. All the old col
leges in the original States charged and
still charee tuition fee; but the prln-
cipal increase in the number OF colleges
has been'a the West, and it is there that
the practice of charging no tuition fee
most obtains. The difficulty OF justl .
estimating the relative standing or merit
of these various Institutions is very
great, particularly for an uneduca ed
man who tries to choose college TOR
his sons. The names college and uni
versity afford no indication of the real
Grade of the institutions to which they
are applied, and the common criterion
of price-the rule that the dearest is
probably best-aiso fails; for some Of
the institutions which charge very low
fees, or none, are better than some which
charge higher fees.

Japanese Mirrors.

The metallic mirrors of the j apanese
have long been famous, but some of
them possess a curious property, which
until recently remained a mystery. On
the back of the mirror are placed in re-
lief the figures Of birds, flowers or or
naments. When a beam or solar cleo
trio light is cast upon the polished sur
face in such way as to throw refec-
ton against shade, wall or other OBJ
ject, these designs. also make their ap-
pearance in the reflection. Messrs. Ayr
ton & Perry, professors in the polytech-
mic school at Toxic. have discovered the
process by which these effects are pro-
duced. The designs are engraved,
either sunken or in relief, on the back Of
the mirror before it has received its hnal
polish. The polishing is effected by
rubbing the mirror upon some hard
substance on which the polisher leans
with great force This pressure natur.
ally only bears upon the raised portions
while the sunken lines are untouched
Consequently corresponding inequalitie
are left upon the rejecting surface, ane
these produce the delicate lines in thu
reflection.

Lies Triumph.

Each lite has one grand day; the clouds may
lie
Along the hills, the storm-winds hercely
blow
The great red sun shine like thing of woe;
And deaths sad skeleton stalk grimly by.
Yet none OF these, no matter how they try,
Can shroud the perfect triumph we shall
know,
Or dim the glory that some star will show
Set far away, in depths of purple sky.
Sweet love may bring to Us this day supreme,
Or it may thrill our souls through art or
song,
Or meet us where red battle-surges foam;
Hopes stranded wreck the barren coasts may
CLEAN,
And weeks and months run by, somber
throng,
But sometime, somewhere, it will surely
come.

III summertime how fair it showed,
MY garden by the village road
"nere fery stalks of blossom glowed
AND roses softly blushed:
mi'n azure spires. and garlands white.
as heiiotrope, the suns delight,
Aad doors that perfumed the NIGHT
Where'er the south wind rrshos
Inere solemn purple pansies stood,
Gay tulips red with floral blood
ana wild things fresh from field and wood
Alive with dainty grace.
Deep heaven-blue bells OF columbine
The darkly-mystic passion-vine.
And clematis, that loves to Irvine.
bedecked that happy place.
beneath that strong unclouded blaze
VI long and iervent summer DAYS
Aneir coiors smote the passing gaze,
And dazzled every eye.
Their cups of scented honey-dew
Charmed all the bees that DER them flew.
N D"ecOAiiCo VI TdQ1dnU nue.
Paused as they fioated by.
Now falls a cloud OF sailing snow,
Ine bitter winds of winter blow.
NO blossom dares its cup to show
Faith folds them in her breast;
A shroud OF white, virgin pail,
Is slowly, softly, hiding all;
In vain shall any sweet wind call
10 break their silent rest.
Ny garden is vanished dream,
Dead in the waning moons cold beam,
Clear icices above it CLEAN;
And yeti know not how
My flowers will hear the dropping rain
When spring reneweth hill and plain,
And then it shall be mine again;
1t is Gods garden now.
