Missouri Students Growing WhIskers.
The students of Missouri university
have organized club to promote the
growth OF whiskers. The bylaws,
which were adopted on Feb. II, are
rigid and exacting. No student will be
permitted to shave before next April,
and something more than a moustache
is required. The student who has the
longest beard at the. close of school IS
to be rewarded. The club is said to
owe its existence to the fact that the
pupils became distressed at the re-
marks regarding their extremely
youthful appearance.

Gold Mines In Great BrisaaA.

Near DolgelIy, in Wales, there is q
gold bearing district which yields
about 1900 year. That isn't much for
a gold mine; but it's more than most
people imagine there is in the whole
of Great Britain. Then at Leadhills,
In Scotland, some gold is to be found
some of it in quartz, in approved
South African fashion, and some loose
about the place. Ireland has a fair
share Of the spoil, and County Wicklow
is the richest in gold. The entire
amount taken therefrcm wouldn't
make one big Australian nugget prob
ably. Silver, OF course, is to be found
in some quantities in the Cornish sill

nouncing in all probability the cap
ture of the city of Santa Cruz, a
leading town in country as yet I'M
touched by the American forces and
now in the hands of the Filipino
forces.
Santa Cruz is place of considerable
Importance in several respects. It is
the capital of the province of Laguna
and has population, according to the
best available information here. of
considerably more than IL. 900 persons
It is regarded as likely that General
Lawton already has gained possession
of this stronghold, for it is but a short
journey over the bay Lagoon, a fresh
water sea which comes almost up to
Manila itself, which is forty-eight
miles away from Santa Cruz.
Santa Cruz is apparently an opening
wedge for the country beyond From
it lead highways in all directions, to
Manila by going around the shores of
Bay Lagoon, and to the important
point of Batangas and the we'll ad-
vanced province of Tayabas, whose
capital city is located ninety-one miles
from Manila General Lawton, how
ever, may not contemplate any mate
rial advance beyond Santa Cruz at this
time, as the region to the south is a
very broken country, covered with
mountains, and the rainy season is
coming on, so that his purpose may be
merely to gain an advantageous posi-
ton for the future

Increase In Minor Crimes

The British home Office report for

a great increase il minor offenses. By

The snake Nut

The snake NUT tree is a native OF
Demerara and Guiana. The nuts are
about the size Of q walnut, and when
they are opened the kernel displays a
wonderful resemblance to snake
coiled up. There are the head, mouth
and eyes, so complete that any one
unacquainted with the nut would be-
lieve it TO be an imitation by human
hands and not freak of nature. This
wonderful resemblance to a snake has
induced the natives to consider the
nut an antidote 10 snake poison. The
