Tobacco and Development.

The perennial table of statistics
on the subject of the physiological
effects of tobacco smoke has again
made its appearance. This time DR..
Jay Seaver has based o series Of OBJ
servations on a class of one hun
dred and eighty-seven college men
during their first and final year,
enumera ting the growth in weight,
height, chest girth and lung capacity
of ''non-users," irregular users"
and "habit ual users" Of tobacco.
Expressed In the form of percent
ages, in weight the non-user in
creased 1914 per cent. more than the
regular user, and sc per cent.
more than the occasional user.
In the growth of height the
non-user increased twenty-four
per cent. more than the user,
and fourteen per cent. more than the
occasional user. In the growth Of
the chest girth the non-user has an
advantage over the regular user of
26.7 per cent, and over the occa-
sional user of twenty-five per cent,
but in lung capacity the growth is
in favor of the non-user by 77.5 per
cent. when compared with the regu-
lar user, and 49.5 per cent. when
compared with the irregular user.

Why Yale Wins.

In the recent biography of DR..
Noah Porter, Mr.. George S. Merri-
am, himself Yale college man, com
menting upon the prominece of ath-
letics in that institution, has this to
say upon zone side of the story"
A Yale senior was lately asked:
"Who is ex-officio the greatest man
in college?"
"The captain of the football team,
was the prompt reply.
"Of course; and who has second
honors?"
Second, but at good remove,
come the captains of the crew and
OF the baseball team"
"And who Is next2"
"There isn't any next"
And 1t was not o Harvard, but a
Yale man who offered one explana-
tion of his colleges supremacy in
athletics:
"You see at Yale the athletic in
terest is supreme, while at Harvard
it divides attention with scholarship
and literature and various other af-
fairs; so of course we beat them in
our speciality. Youths Compan-

A MINISTERIAL CANDIDATE.
Vice President Stevenson Tells a Good
Negro Story.


Vice President Stevenson told the
following story to a group of sena-
tors the other night: There was an
old darky In southern Illinois who
wanted to join the ministry. He
had progressed through many years
OF trial and tribulation to the digni-
fed office of sexton and chief bell
ringer Of the white folks church in
the same town. He couldn't read,
but hts granddaughter Eucindy
could, and he made her read to him
every evening from the Good Book.
he was finally brought before the
board for examination, which was
conducted as follows:
"Brer 'Lias, do you know the
Bible2"
"Yas, praise de Lawd."
"Brer 'Lias, do you believe it to
be the word of God2"
"Yas, dat 1 do, praise the Lawd."

A Girls Disappointments.

The girl with the inquiring mind
says, in the Philadelphia Times, that
she wishes some one would explain to
her why it is
That all the things that she likes
to eat are bad for her complexion,
and all the things she hates-like
oatmeal and rye bread-are very
wholesome.
That the lady who runs her board
ing house insists upon cooking eth
er cabbage or onions for dinner
whenever she expects callers in the
evening.
That the only time she wants a
drink of water Is when the water
pipes are frozen up.
That nothing ever offends the ten
men that she simply can't tolerate,
while two hasty words or a silly
little note will cause a most heart
breaking quarrel with the one man
that in rash moments she thinks
she'd die for.
That after she gets home from a
party she thinks of hundreds of
smart things that she might have
said if she'd only had her wits about
her.
That whenever she hears about
q wonderfully cheap sale" and
rushes down town in the morning to
take advantage Of it, she gets there
just in time to be told that "the last
one was sold not two minutes ago,
lady"
That this life is SO full of disap-
DOintmentS. ANYWAY.

A MARVELLOUS INSTINCT.
The Ability Of Beheaded Turtles Of
Locating Water.

''~'S''
Reptiles and batrachians usually
possess what may be termed the
water-location sense.
My attention was first called to
this by my brother, who, while en-
gagged In a natural history expedi-
tion In southeastern Texas, had
what at the time we both considered
unique experience with large sea
tortoise.
This tortoise had been surprised
some distance from the water, among
the sand dunes that line the gulf
shore, and on being overtaken had
its head chopped off preparatory to
serving as very toothsome addition
to our diet. Much to the surprise
of the party the beheaded animal
continued on its way toward the
water.
Several times it was turned
around, entirely or part way, but
every time it was able to right its
position perfectly, and again make
directly for the water.
At the time this was narrated to
me l was of the opinion that there
must have been something In the
contour of the land that enabled the
tortoise to regain the correct direc-
tion In each case.
Since then l have had numerous
proofs that this ability belongs to a
number of species Of these animals
In the West Indies, and that the loss
of eyes and nasal organs, of the en-
tire head and neck, In fact, apparent
ly works no inconvenience to them
in this particular. This Is a family
characteristic which, so far as have
been able to find, is not alluded to
in any work concerning them.
The same singular ability may be
observed in certain species Of water
frequenting snakes, The common
water snake, often enormously
called the water moccasin, almost
invariably finds its way to the water,
if not too far away, when its head is
cut off.-St. Louis Republic.

Crispi's Capacity for Work

Sig. Crispi, the italian premier, is
man of robust physique, with an
extraordinary capacity for work.
He rises early, does not waste mo-
ment of the day, and puts all his
time to the best possible use. He is
most abstemious in eating rand drink
ing, and for a period of four years
did not once go to the theater,
though he is fond of the drama. So
ciety bores him, and his politeness
and charm of manner are conse-
quently lost to it. This, at least, is
the testimony of his secretary, to
whom the statesman is great deal
of a hero. Yhe public at large has
not credited Crispi with the possess
sion Of too much of the milk Of hu-
man kindness.

Senator hoar as a Wit.

Senator Hoar has q rather droll
wit and has been known to say things
upon occasion. Some one once asked
him about young man said to be
from his city who was just then oc-
cupying prominent pew in the
amen corner of the public press
throughout the country. ''Why, no, :"
the senator said, "he can't be from
my town. I know about everybody
there; ! never heard of him before. I"
AS the other urged positively to the
contrary the old gentleman reflect
lively admitted that "then he must
be a young man of purely national
reputation; he has no local status
at all" :.

said to have o love for ruins, cannot
be induced to sell the buildings nor
part with the smelling works. The
agent of the plant, N. L. Knotwell,
hotel-keeper at Newberry, some
time ago named the place after him
self and put ]. A. Chambers in
charge of the ruins. "Knotwell" is
very appropriate name, sure
enough, as one views the surround
ings and considers the history that
lies behind this pcopleless place, fast

The Great ANDREW" Was in pittsburg

Old Man in the Street

The Great Andrew" Was in pittsburg
and Exercised His Healing Power on an
Old Man in the Street
In the city of Pittsburg while passing
along the streets one stormy day the
great Andrew" noticed an old man
slowly making his way along the slip
perry walk scarcely able to keep in an
upright position while leaning heavily
upon pair of crutches with the assist
ance of motherly old lady, who every
now and then gave him word of en-
couragement and a helping hand. The
snow was falling and the wind was
blowing bleek and cold. The features
of the man bespoke the pain and misery
he was suffering at every step, while
the good and faithful wife plainly
showed the care and burden under
which she was resting from the poverty
and helpless condition of her dependent
husband. The doctor stopped and quick
ly stepping up to the old couple he
made few rapid passes over the old
mans body and limbs, took his crutches
from him and threw them in the gutter,
commanding him to straighten up and
walk on. The old man took few steps
forward and then stopped and carefully
examined his legs and arms, looked
blankly at his wife and said, Mary,
what did that man do to me? She an
swered, oh, nothing, papa. He only
made few foolish passes over you with
his hands and mumbled something to
himself. l guess he is some poor, crazy
fool. Shall l get your crutches. No,
no; don't need them-see, l can walk;
| can walk. Thank God that man has
cured me. Mary, l am well, see how !
can walk. And as the crowd gathered
around the old couple, asking all man.
ner of questions of who that man was
and how it all happened, the doctor
slipped away, pondering over the vaga.
ries and miseries of humanity. This
doctor is the same great Andrew" who

BY that time every male member of

the buttresses to see what all the
row was about. None of the non-union
