resignation Is due to the assassination

IN GERMAN UNIVERSITIES.
Women Have Been Recently Admitte.
with Encouraging Results.

Women Have Been Recently Admitted
with Encouraging Results.
A new stage in the development of
the question of the admission of women
to German universities, and one that
has been looked forward to with inter-
est and curiosity, has just been reached,
says an exchange. In the last few
years American and English women
and, in smaller numbers, Russians have
been storming the doors of German
universities, and, where they have been
successful in gaining entrance, they
nave done so by virtue of the certih-
Gates and training they have received
In their own countries. In all but
lew exceptional cases German women
were debarred-by their lack of prep
aratlon and of the means of obtaining
lt-Irom such privileges as were grant
ed to foreigners. A German woman ap-
plying for permission to enter uni
Versity where an American or English
woman was studying was told that she
must either go abroad and return with
the degree or diploma presented by her
foreign sister or that she must attend
a gymnasium of the fatherland and
pass its final Or abiturienten examina-
t1on. The latter course was impossible
for all gymnasia were absolutely, and
perhaps wisely, closed to women; the
former course was in general imprac-
tlcaDle. To PIT an end to this state of
things two or three gymnasia for girls
were founded on exactly the same lines
as those for boys, and girls were pre-
pared for the same final examination
wnlch admitted their brothers to the
university. From the girls gymnasium
In Berlin six girls have now passed
this examination, and, armed with the
same certificates and training as men
students, have presented themselves
Tor admission-three to the University
or Berlin and three to the University
OF Halle. Halle has acted with thorough
consistency in the matter and admitted
them 1.-TWO as medical students and one
as student of natural science), with
out restrictions, to all its lectures and
laboratories. Berlin has, however, been
less liberal; the two students who
wished to study medicine have been re-
fused admission to all the anatomical
lectures and laboratories, and the pro-
fessors have availed themselves freely
of their liberty to refuse to admit wom-
en- to their courses-even in philology,
the subject taken by the third student.
Before pronouncing Berlin grudging in
the matter we must, however, remem-
Der that with it's 5000 students and it's
situation in gay capital, it stands on
different footing with Halle and Got
tingen, and it behooves it to be careful
what it undertakes. The result, on the
whole, seems to be sufficiently encour-
aging, however, for the number of stu
dents attending the gymnasia is stead
lily increasing.

FACTS ABOUT GAMES.

On the old-time cards used in India
the vizier is represented as mounted on
horse, a camel or tiger
1t is said by some writer's that the
game Of dominoes was known to the
Jews in the time of Solomon.
Dice of ivory and marble have been
found in the ruins of Roman houses in
various parts of Great Britain.
Dice almost exactly similar to those
now used have been discovered in
Thebes and other Egyptian cities.
Both Aeschylus and Sophocles, in
their tragedies, allude to the game of
dice as being common in their day.
The Arabic cards are believed to have
been originally associated with NEGRO
mantle or fortune-telling practices.
According to one historian, cards
were brought from the East and first
used by Europeans in Italy in 1879.
French historians say that the intro
duction of dice into France was in the
reign Of Philip Augustus, 1850 to 1928.
The name of chess is supposed by
some philologists to have been derived
from Shah, the Persian name for king.

A Napoleon of Journalism.

Alfred G. Harmsworth, the young Ma
poleon of English journalism, is not
yet 80 years of age, and has been in
business for himself only eight years,
but he is the proprietor of eighteen
periodicals, four of them dailies, two
being London dailies. His fortune,
made entirely by his own efforts, is es-
timated at many hundred thousand
pounds. He has a number of brothers
in business with him, and they have
recently organized a company, capt.
talized at 100000, to conduct all of
his publications except his London
dailies, which he has reserved for his
private business. Most of his time
nowadays is spent at his country place
in Kent. On two or three days in the
week he may be found at his office
in London, but most of his business
is done over the telephone from his
Kentish home.

English and French Motbers.

Two devoted mothers, one a French
woman and the other an English wom-
an, were discussing the various meth
DDS of educating boys and eagerly COM
pairing the advantages and disadvant-
ages of the English and French sys-
TENS, respectively. A dignitary of the
Roman church was listening to their
prattle with amusement, and at last he
burst out laughing and said: "It seems
to me, mesdames, that when a pious
French mother wishes to send her son
away from home for education she in
quires ansiously how many times a
week he can attend mass, but when an
English mother sends her boy to school
the principal inquiry she makes is how
often during the week can her son have
a bath, and Elton is evidently consid-
cred the school par excellence, for
there the boys can have baths three
times day if they wish. 1t is amusing
to see how the same instinct is i'm
planted in the mothers of all nationali-
ties You wish to wash your sons: onIy
the Catholic French mother wishes to
purify her sons soul that he may be
clean for all eternity; but the English
mother, apparently, is contented with
washing the outside of her child and
soaping and combing his earthly enve-
lope. New York Tribune.

Helen. Dubuaue. Iowa.

You have the zodiacal sign Libra ris-
ing, and therefore Venus is your ruling
planet. You are medium height or
above; slender figure; medium to light
complexion, hair and eyes. If born
four minutes earlier you have Uranus
also for ruling planet, and that would
denote a little darker shade to the
eyes. You are cheerful and happy
most of the time, yet will be subject to
short spells of the blues, and if any,
one does you an injury you are not
apt to forget it very soon; yet you
will forgive them and be very just to
them if you had any dealings with
them, for you are lover of justice, and
have also a great admiration for the
fine arts. You will have very strong
intuitions at times, yet this will only
be spasmodic in its actions. Marriage
will be more than average fortunate
for you.

Some to BE Buffers on Big Guns and
Others Placed Behind Armor Plates.
Soft cushions to take up the recoil
of Uncle Sans great guns are being
made in Pittsburg, Pa. Experiments
are also under way to apply the
cushions to the breastworks of forth
ficatiuns and battle ships so as to les
sen he force of the shock caused by
a heavy projectile coming in contact
with armor plate. The principle of
buffers on the ends of the platforms Of
railroad passenger coaches is to be ap-
piled to guns and armor plate, and the
experiments will be watched with con-
siderable interest by everybody. If a
success they will mark an era in the
building of battleships and forts. The
cushions for the guns are huge spiral
springs made of the very best steel.
Some are square, while others are
round. They are being manufactured
in considerable quantities.

When Elephants Inhabited Europe.

Recent study of the remains of stone
and flint implements found near Able
vile, France, has strengthened the be-
lief that when those implements were
made by prehistoric men, elephants be-
longing to two species were abundant
in that part of Europe. But of course
the date in centuries, or even in thou
sand-year periods, cannot be ascer-
tanned No writings or Inscriptions or
knew whence it came and whittier it
traditions have been handed down from
that early race of men to their civilized
descendants of to-day. All we have
been able to learn, from the remains of
Clipped stones and bones, is that they
lived among, and frequently hunted
and fought with, animals that had
ceased to inhabit Europe when record
ed history began.

In the Little Dugout He Told the Boys
Why He Came Out West.
From the New York World: 1t was
the season of the year in Texas when
the cattle are rounding up to be driven
north for better grazing. The cow
boys had just finished supper, and sat
around their little dugout swapping
lies. Gradually the conversation turn
ed on the motives which prompted the
different members of the group to go
west. Taey all told of the more or
less discreditable causes for their mi
grafton, with the exception of a rather
taciturn but generally popular fellow
who was known as "Parson Bill" be-
cause of the clerical cut of the attire
which he universally affected.
"Why did you come west, Parson? ?"
queried Swamp-angel Sam.
WELL" drawled out the individual
addressed. Il left the east because I
didn't build church,
Everybody smiled at what was con-
sidered the drollery of the Parson,
who, not noticing the merriment which
he had created, continued:
ct was this way. We used to hold
meetings in the district schoolhouse in
Massachusetts and did the preaching.
The little flock grew, and it was de-
cided to build small church. The
funds, as they were collected, were put
into my hands for safekeeping" He
paused. That's why came west"

the scouts, and he ordered Lieutenant
Curtis to take the advance with 25
men.
He made his way to the front with
all possible speed and was rewarded
one night by seeing the watch fires of
the hostiles all around his position.
Late at night he was prowling about
his camp decidedly uneasy concerning
the outlook. He approached one of
the beats where a sentry was keeping
wary eye out for the hostiles and was
surprised to observe the man lying fiat
on the ground with his carbine point
ing to the north. He concluded some
thing was wrong and advanced to in
estigate.
What is it, sentry?" he asked, as he
neared the place where the man was
lying.
Indians, sir. think they are in
camp just at the base of the hills at our
front. If they don't know we are here
we have a fair chance to surprise
them"
Wouldn't wonder. Keep your eye
peeled and report if any motion is
made"
Curtis then turned on his heel and
made his way back to camp. He
reused the men, cautioned them
against any noise, and marched the
whole body to the point where the
watchful sentry was still keeping his
eye peeled. There the men were or
dered to mount and at the word that
small band of troopers plunged into
that sleeping camp of Indians, the
heavy pistols sounding the alarm.
Right through the camp the boys in
blue rushed, shooting everything in
sight. They passed to the other line of
the camp, wheeled and started to re-
turn.
Give them the STEEL" yelled Curtis,
the flush Of battle mantling his cheeks.
The Indians-all who were left-has-
tened to the recesses of the mountains
and hid in the numerous arroyos. The
troops were called of and the Moqui
scouts camped on the trail of the scat
tered remnant of the band.
AS Curtis rode back to the forest
with the purpose of getting his people
together and starting to the rear, a
shot was fired and his forage cap few
into the air. The magazine of a rifle
was quickly thrown and another shot
was about to follow when a couple of
men seized the would-be slayer and
bore the figure and rife to the earth.
Under the feet of the owner of that
rife lay the dead body of young In
dian whose dress. and especially his
war bonnet, indicated that he was a
chieftain- A bullet through the lungs
had let out his life, but not until he
had run into the woods with the pur-
pose Of hiding. The rifle he carried
was used by the girl-for it was Co
chita-to avenge his death.
Hold! cried Curtis, as he held back
the arm of the sergeant who was about
to run the girl through. Don't you
see that Il Is woman3 Secure her,
