4 GIRLS STRANGE APPETITE.

Servant to Eat Soap.

The Queer Hankering Of . Sturdy BunAle
Servant to Eat Soap.
A servant girl, BY name Louisa Bank
burr. in the employ Of Reese r. McMa-
han Of this city, says Buffalo corre-
spondent, has developed most singu-
lar taste for eating soap, OF which she
has been known to devour nearly .,
pound in day The family for some
time past were much puzzled to account
for the way in which the soap disap-
peared from the boxes, and II was not
until the girl was seen eating q cake
with all the relish in the world that it
occurred to them to ascribe the disap-
pearance to her She is large. healthy
looking girl of about seventeen, and
she declares that her singular diet in
which she has indulged for some months
has never disagreed with her, but Mr..
McMahan says that it has affected her
appetite so that she does not care to eat
much beside soap.
At first she preferred the milder kind
Of complexion and hand soaps, but as
she indulged the unnatural craving her
taste grew for the strongest kind, and
now she eats with avidity those used
for kitchen work. The physicians who
have examined into the peculiar case
say that the girls morbid appetite
comes from no disorder Of her stomach,
but Is probably q cultivated idiosyncra-
sy Louisa herself states that she was
first induced to eat It BY the pleasure )
piece Of toilet soap afforded her by ita
perfume Efforts have been made to
get her to give up the habit, which will
ultimately cause her death, but she
persists in It, and says that she would
die without II. She Is perfectly sensi-
BILE. and even very intelligent. and has
grown very sensitive on the subject.
Mr. McMahan gives her an excellent
character, and offers to bear the ex-
pense of placing her in an inebriate
asylum If her family, who live in Ton
AMANDA, will consent. certain pallor
and a purplish discoloration Of the
lips and corners of the nose and nails
are the only perceptible effects Of the
diet, and her digestion, as far as can
be gathered from Louisa herself. re-
mains unimpaired, while she has act
ually gained nearly twenty pounds In
the last six months. or since she began
to eat soap.

Yale Confers a Degree on a Member OF

the Class OF 1899.
Yale University has Just conferred
the degree of A b upon Douglas Put
nam of Ohio. a gentleman eighty four
years of age. His sheepskin Is made
retroactive in effect, so that the new
fedged bachelor of arts becomes mem
Der of the class Of 1926. which gradual

lately but six survivors of that class.
now the number is increased to seven.
The recruit. who, by the way Is Ger.
tainly in one sense an ''old bachelor
is o grandaon of the General Israel Put
nam. whose heroic deeds formed one of
the most interesting chapters in revolu-
tionary story
1t seems, says the New York Press,
that Douglas Putnam was one of the
two others who rode from Ohio to
New .Iven, Conn.,, on horse back in 1922
and entered Yale college in the autumn
of the year; that at the close of the
junior year their father died and only
one of the brothers could be spared to
pursue the studies of the senior year
while the elder Douglas was kept at
home to care for the family and estate.
This is an interesting bit of story. and
the action OF the corporation of Yale
university in voting to restore him to his
class standing and bestow the degree
thus ,onorably sacrificed is touching
and + 'mantic incident. Several thoughts
are suggested to the rejecting collegiate
mind thereby. One of them is that,
very likely, if Douglas Putnam,
aged eighty-four years. were examined
upon the branches taught at Yale dur
ing the senior years sixty-four years
ago he would not attain an average
marking Of any thing near one hum
dred per cent. for his answers. But
the next thought is that just as likely,
If the other six surviving members of
the class of 1926, who actually went
through with those studies and stood
examinations upon them. were now to
be submitted to the same ordeal they
would succeed no better than the newly
graduated member would do. Still an
other thought in the same line How
many Yale graduates of the class OF 1890
could sustain creditable examination
of the studies pursued by the class of
1892
When once the scholastic mind begins
to ponder in this way there is no visible
stopping place. Time brings many
changes. Four years are but small
fraction of four score. One year more
or less in the great school at New Haven
is of value only as it affects ones career
as student in the great school of life.
And it would be tolerably safe guess
to hazard that the young man who rode
on horseback from Ohio to New Haven
in search OF knowledge, and rode from
New Haven to Ohio on horseback at the
call OF duty, is to-day no less truly a
man OF Liberal education" than are his
surviving classmates who spent ono
year more at Yale than he did.

A LIVELY CONGO TOWN.

Boom.

A Boom.
About the Nveliest place in equatorial
Africa Just now is Matadi, the starting
point on the lower Congo of the Congo
railroad A thousand men are working
in Matadi and along the river within
few miles Of that place. Missionaries
write that It would surprise any one to
see the number Of good houses that are
going up at Matadi, substantially built
Of stone, brick, iron and wood. The ad-
vent Of the railroad laborers has made
things exceedingly brisk for the few
missionaries Of Bishop Taylor's station
In that neighborhood These mission
aries, it is well known, depend mostly
upon their own exertions for support.
They find that they have now ready
market for every thing that they can
produce in their gardens. Mr.. Teter
writes to the African News that he has
as good a market for his produce at
Matadi as he would have in New York
or London. The Congo State has given
Mr.. Teter site upon which to build q
Church at M4tadi and also supply Of
lumber and other building material for
the edifce. Some OF the native laborers
on the railroad are contributing money
to support this church, which, it Is ex-
pected, will be entirely self-supporting
from the first. One native subscribed
twenty dollars and others nearly equal
amounts toward the building OF an iron
church which, as soon as possible, will
take the place Of the temporary struc-
ture. Theae natives were probably
brought from mission stations further
north ON the west coast, and they wish
to have the same religious privileges on
the Congo they have been accustomed

Frank Ebeling, died the other day in
Atchison. Among his assets are 5000
bushels of wheat which the old man had
in his warehouse five years, refusing to

was his fondest occupation, and he con.
stantly turned it with wooden shovel

Canals ~ Fish Traps.

A petition is being circulated and
largely signed by the people In this part
Of the valley, says the La Jara (Col.)
Echo, and will be presented to the
Eighth General Assembly praying for
the enactment Of law to provide for
the screening Of the headgates of the
irrigating canals for the protection of
fish. The destruction of fish through
this source is deplorable. Recently as
the water was being turned of in the
Del Norte irrigating canal a seining
party succeeded in catching two hum
dred pounds Of trout, and only half q
mile was gone over. As the canal Is
forty miles long it is estimated that 1t
contained sixteen thousand pounds.
And this is one Of many canals in the
valley, but the Del Norte ditch is
thought to be the most destructive.
