No cases are recorded of successful
separation in cases similar to this,
though it has been several times at
tempted.
Considerable trouble was made by
the two sons, who came home from the
west and heard on their arrival that
the doctors had secured the bodies and
gone away to get them photographed
also to see what made the wheels go
round" They gratiied their morbid
curiosity and then brought back the
bodies, with thanks. The brothers
were displeaeed about it, and so ex-
pressed themselves. Some people are
perhaps morbidly sensitive about hav-
ing their parents dissected that way.
A friend of mine named Quill Patter-
son, says that his old doctor has Quilts
fathers stomach in alcohol, and though
Quill has offered him over and over
again four times what the organ is
worth from a mercantile standpoint,
hoping to obtain it and bury it with
the old gentleman, the doctor claims
that Quill can't positively identify it,
and so just because Mr.. Patterson, be-
fore his fathers death, did not fix in
his memory the features of the old gen
tleman's stomach so that he could
recognize it anywhere, he is now de-
MED it by a man who has no real claim
on it.
The Siamese twins were carefully ex
amined by Drs. Pancoast and Agnew,
of Philadelphia, after which they were
photographed and no one to look at
them could have believed that they had
been so recently and thoroughly ex-
ploded.
The sons r~eplevined their fathers, but

Two modest marble monuments

ORIGIN OF POPULAR PHRASES.

1t has occurred to us that a short
space could be entertainingly and even
profitably used now and then by a new
departure. There are comparatively
but few people who own Bartlett" or
the similar large work published by
Funk and Wagnalls, and indeed any
of the several smaller volumes of USE
full quotations. The idea we have is to
utilize two excellent works in giving
to our readers who will be interested
in such things the origin of common
place sayings now SO generally used
among people Of various grades of &C
QUESTION and education.
Mark, it is only the plain, simple,
everyday phrases in use that will en-.
gage u time and attention. We will
show who were the first to use current
popular phases. We would have re-
joiced to obtain this information when
a youth, but it was not accessible for
the diligent cleaners had not been In
the fields of the past then and but few
of the popular sayings had been traced
as to origin. If you will preserve the
numbers containing the quotations,
and paste them in a book, you will
then have what was not obtainabIe
fifty years since.
MAN proposes. but God disposes,"-
Thomas A. Kempis, who lived in 1880
1471. But it is older. 1t will be found
in the Chronicle OF Battel Abbey"
"And when he is out Of sight, quickly
also is he out of mind.-Thomas a
Kempis. A later revision in 1868, by
Googe, is Out of sight, out of mynd."
'Moche crye and no wulI"-John
Fortescue, lived 1895 1885. Butler in
Hudibras much later put it "AII cry
and no wool"
Fortescue has left another saying
Comparisons are odious." Nine other
writer's borrowed this. Shakespeare
has it comparisons are odorous."
John Shelton-146O 1529-wrote He
ruleth all the rosie" Ben Jonson Dor
rowed it and put it Rules the roost."
Shelton is the original Of the follow
ing: I'm spight of his teeth" He
knew what is what" ''By hoke ne by
croke," altered by Spencer into by
hook or crook" THE wolfe from the
dore'' and ''That byrd VS. not honest
that fyleth hys owne nest" This as
the others has been appropriated by
later writers. - Wilmington Messenger.

ROBBED THE STATE,
$40 FRAUDS UNEARTHED IN
MINNESOTA.
Ignatius DonnelIy's Investigating Conn
mittee Has Found Evidence az Start
ling Frauds that Are Expected to
Create u Great Sensation.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, April l2,-Thc
Senate Committee investigating the
charges of fraud in the sale and taxa
ton of Minnesota lands is ready with
its report and will present it in the
Senate this morning. senator Dom
nelly says it will shake the State from
center to circumference. 1t is said to
be the most sensational report ever
made by u legislative committee AID
all based on sworn testimony.
Frauds and conspiracics most gigan-
tic and far-reaching are said to have
been unearthed. 1t is claimed that the
State has been defrauded, directly and
indirectly, out of hundreds of thou
sands of dollars, and many persons
hitherto above suspicion are said to be
involved and besmirched by the com
mittee's findings.
One instance is u ease where the tim
Der on a piece of school land, cSti-
mated by the best Judges to have been
worth S7,525, was sold for a paltry
SITS. Some of the best pine land of
the State is said to have been falsely
certified as swamp land and then pat
cnted to the railroads and by them to
the parties back of the deal
lnnumcrablc eases of false homo,
stead entries, soldiers prescriptions
and Indian allotments, all made on
powers of attorney by men of straw
in the interests of the corporal ons,
are said to have been disclosed,
Vast tracts of land and vast quantities
of standing and cut pine are said
to have escaped the tax rolls, and
one interesting point is that there are
miles of railroad in the woods used for
other purposes than for transporting
logs alone, which are not mentioned
by the assessors and which are not
reached as personal property, nor do
they pay any gross earnings tax.
The law which is designed to pre-
vent corporations from acquiring more
than 5000 acres of land is said to be u
dead letter in the pine regions. The
report says it is hardly possible to cal
culate the sums the State and state
institutions have lost in the alleged
pine-land manipulations, nor is it pos
sible that any considerable portion Of
1t can be recovered.

CHICAGO, April S.-The principal business
of tho day in wheat was over before III
o'clock. II was very much repetition Of
tho actio& of yesterday. The influences
were much the same also. The bull clique
continues to be n big factori in the business
As on Friday clique brokers helped advance
the market from the opening while the
bulish feeling was at its height On the
advance the clique no doubt got out of q
lot of wheat for May to good advantage
1he whole trade started in very bullish
and this gave the July an advance from
tho opening, As in the May, there was
free selling at tho higher hgurei. Tho
shorts acknowledgements on the advance
which was so brisk that no one knew Just
where 1t would end When the shorts were
satisfied and the longs In both May and
July Turned sellers, there was a very nat
urai setback in prices. The May started
over 4 lc Up from last night at sl&ic, and
the TOP point Friday. July started
about &c up from last night at 76}Jc, and
touched i7c on the bulge The decline
in the hour following was to &c May, n
break of &c and to 7bi3c July II was n
weather market pure and simple. Tho
Weather map showed Kansas and the
Sou Invest generally without rains that
were confidently expected following the
heat for days past There was not only
no rain but no prospect OF rain. II will
take very serious crop conditions TO make
this a onesided market while present local
conditions exist. Following the break
to s0i5c and s6j@c early in the doy, there
was n slow return of buliish feeling. There
was reference TO freezing temperature in
several sections of Ohio and other States.
This looked like anything but rain and the
trade started in 10 buy again Before
O'Clock prices we're rallied to 81 &c May, and
,6Ismi7c July. The wheat market held its
strength fairly well to the close with last
prices at slstc May and 1910 July.
Corn closed 4lllc seller May and 422i

The provision market made the best

All winter the class boating crews Mt
Wellesley have been going into the
gymnasium for regular training pre-
paratory to The summer boat race ON

The first attempt ut scientific training
in oarsu a1ship was made ON the lake
last autumn aud with marked success.
II was not until the fall of 1891 that
physical training was made full and
regular course in the college. Now
every freshman that enters Wcllc.lcy
receives thorough physical cxumina
ton, including measurements AMI
strength tests, and from each three
hours work are required ca II week.
The result of the experiment shows a
gratifying development OF physique,
improvement in the vigor and carriage,
and also an increased capacity for men
tai application. il is an interesting
fact that while the records show an in
crease in strength OF 100 or $50 pounds
in the back in six months, the strength
of the legs sometimes decline rather
than increases indicating that the
Young women were accustomed to
walking more before they entered col

OF the body than the locomotive cN-
tremitics. A womln examiner and q
woman instructor have charge of this
department, but their work is much
hindercd by the inefficient room and
appliances of the gymnasium, which
can accommodate only the freshman
class at one time in the regular drill.

4 new scheme OF housawifery has
hcch organized by the committee of the
London school and city guilds by
which elementary school girls receive
instruction in housewifcly arts and an
examination has been held of the work
done during the past year. The course
includes the elementary principles OF
ventilation, hygiene, sanitation, thrift
and recreation, and the students are
girls not more than - years OF age.
The sense and intelligence of the
answers, the readiness and ncatncs,
with which the girls executed the prac-
teal part, were evidence of the appro-
priatenoss of such education for those
that would become the heads of work
inGmen's homes.
