The field of veterinary surgery, hith- erto held by men alone in this country will soon be invaded by ambitious Wo- man. The New York College of Veteri- nary Surgeons has five women enrolled for the three years course in this de- gree, forming the first women's class in a veterinary college in the United States. They are not so very numerous abroad, either. France has one lone graduate, and there are several in Ger many and Russia.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

Offenders Encased In An Empty Gas
Tank, Witch II Rolled and Beaten.
What IL believed to be the most orig
inal and unique method yet evolved to
bring an intoxicated man back to .
sober condition is that in use at Waver-
~, an oil town in Wood county, w. Va.
q short distance south of Listersvlile.
When oil was first struck there among
the first people to arrive were the sa-
loon men, and drunkennessswas very
common occurrence on the streets Of
the little city until one night the chief
Of police hit upon happy idea and
proceeded to put it into execution with
the help of a number of men about the
city whom he had put on.
In large vacant lot back Of one of
the supply houses there was huge
iron gas tank lying, and in one end of
1t there was hole just large enough to
admit OF good-sized man beingput In.
A drunk was secured and the chief and
his assistants proceeded to give him
free dose Of a new jag cure. The fell
low was compelled to 60 along, and he
was showed through the hole in the top
Of the gas tank, and once in there, the
tank was rolled around all over the lot,
and there was no chance for him to get
out until the crowd got tired Of the
sport and Let him out Of its own &C.
cord.
When the tank is started rolling a
number Of the gang with stones, pieces
of pipe and clubs walk around with it,
and as fast as possible tap the tank
gently with the weapon, and this, of
course, in a hollow iron receptacle,
makes terrible noise. The sound Of
the noise from the outside is ear-split-
ting, and what it is on the inside is
hard to conjecture. Quite number of
DRINKS have been treated to a round of
pleasure in the gas tank, and none of
them have ever been known to get too
much on board since. and some have
even quit drinking altogether.

UNIVERSITY FOR CHINA.

Enstitution Planned for Instruction in
Western Culture and Ideas.
DR.. John Freyer, professor of orien-
tai languages and literature of the
state university of California, arrived
in San Francisco from China, where
be has been in consultation with high
government officials about the found
ing of great university at Shanghai
for the education of Chinese In western
art, science and literature.
DR.. Freyer declined an offer to be-
come the president of the institution,
but consented to assist the project.
The establishment Of this institu-
ton is one of the ambitious ideas Of
the progressive party in China. It is
intended to be an educational center,
where the favored youths of the en-
pire may go to gain knowledge of the
occidental civilization. There is now
at Tien Tain an academic institution,
but it is planned to have that at Shang-
hai of a much higher standard.
AS the nucleus of the Shanghai uni
versity, a normal training school is
now in operation with 30 pupils who
are preparing to become instructors.

DIED WITH HIS SECRET.

Valuable Invention Lost to the World
by Mans Obstinacy.
A special to the New York World
from New Haven, Conn.,, says: With the
recent death at Naugatuck Of Herbert
B. Fowler, there has been lost the Sc
cret of an invention that promised to be
of great value to the commercial world.
It was process for making an electric
al deposit of copper from a. solution
upon wood or any other rigid or semi
rigid substance This process was made
possible by coating the substance that
was to be appropriated with a liquid
preparation, the secret Of which was
known only to Mr.. Fowler. Every
means had been used to induce him to
patent the invention, but he declined,
fearing he might lose the use Of it.
A Chicago company was recently
formed which offered to take up manu-
featuring with the copper deposit e3-
tcnsiue1y, but conditioned their offer
upon the patenting Of the invention
Their proposition was sent to Mr.. Fow-
her, but before an agreement had BEEN
reached the inventor died.

new life and richness to the blood and restore
shattered nerves They are an unfailing spe-

effects of la. grippe, palpitation of the heart,
pale and sallow compilations, all forms OF
weakness either in male or female, and all
diseases resulting from vitiated humors in the

FOR WOMEN LEARNING 70 SWIM

Pneumatic Corset Under Bathing Suit
Keeps Novice Afloat.
Beginners in swimming have great
difficulty in rapid improvement on &C
count of the utter lack Of self-con-
fdence and fear of drowning. The
movements are comparatively easy to
learn, but the courage to strike out into
deep water is necessary in order to be
successful. Hitherto the only thing
which has given such confidence was
the great ugly cork life presever,
which kept ones head high and dry,
perhaps, but which prevented the prop
er use of the arms, and was, besides.
decidedly uncomfortable. The rubber
rings which can be tied about the body
are much pleasanter than the cork at
fairs, but they are objected to because
they are in the way of the free move
ments of the arms, ...s
A new arrangement which IL just put
upon the market, and which lacks all
the disadvantages of the old methods
Of enforcing courage, and still has all
the advantages desired, is pneumatic
corset. This Is not bunglesome at
fair, but fits quite closely to the body
under the bathing suit, like any ordi-
nary corset, and is a support to the fg-
pre,. especially If corpulent, adding but
little to the size Of the wearer.
This is far ahead Of any old style
arrangement, and one is not reduced
to the necessity of taking few dry
land lessons in swimming while sus-
pended across hammock. All the ex-
ercises may be practiced in the water.
Familiarity with the feeling OF the wa
ter about the neck and head, with the
sense of security given by the corset,
will soon take away all fear, and then
one may discard it. It has always
seemed too much to expect Of anyone
to leave fear behind before the art Of
swimming was fully mastered. This
new assistance to learning to swim is a
most pleasant one.

Udney 2. Wilson, contractor and builder,
living in Detroit, Mich, at 81 High Street,
West, said regarding DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People: For years I have
been out of doors in all kinds of bad weather,
looking after my building contracts. have
worked many days in the rain and cold to
complete some building. About two years
ago noticed I could not get around as l
should, and commenced to have severe pain
in my back. tried the usual remedies with.
out getting any relief, and for nearly year I
suffered intensely. l kept up as long as l
could, as had several contracts for buildings
that had to be completed.
cat night could not sleep. Ny physi-
clan said it was my kidneys, and every day
went out doors they would keep me awake
nearly all the following night. Instead Of
getting better I became worse, and worried
great deal about my work. The doctor
said / must quit work and 90 to bed, or he
would not be responsible for my life.
"All the medicines took only helped
me temporarily. Some days l would feel
better and 60 out day only to be again con-
fined to nj. bed for weeks at time. One
day my wife suggested that ! try, DR.. Will:
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and
laughed at the idea.
Finally when got into such condition
that would take almost anything in the
hope of relief, tried the pills. They helped
me from the start, but would not acknow1-
edge it and said it was the other medicines
that had just commenced to work. disliked

Important Ruling In Caso Of Lieut..
Rogers, Of Revenue Service.

sci having been in active cooperation
with the navy, by order of the presi-
dent, in the Mexican wal, buthe was sub

he was not legally enlisted into mill

come the counterfeit presentment OF the
clasped hands, one with blue cuffs, the
other with gray. underneath. the quota

tend the same welcome to them that she
did to the soldiers of the Revolution
hundred years ago" This banner will
be carried in the parade.
Major-General Thomas A. Brander said
Yesterday that he had received letters
from prominent G.. A. r. men in different
parts Of the country. and they, one and
