To Guard the Health.

New Departments.

The fall term of Worcester academy
was the best for years. The present
term opens with greater promise,
larger attendance and more enthu-
siasm. The business department is
located in Aldrich cottage, occupying
one whole floor, 4OxS0 feet. In order
to appreciate this department it is
necessary to see it at work. Prof.
Daily is an experienced teacher, hav-
ing been in such work in Kansas City

LUCK AGAINST A BAD MAN.
Queer Things That Happened to
TOothpick Davis.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
One evening at hotel in Denver one of
a party of men happened to read aloud an
article re.ative to John Wesley Hardin,
now in the Texas penitentlary. Then he
remarked:
Speaking of Hardin and bad men in
general, reminds me of Jim Davis, Tooth
pick Davis, as he was more Familiarity
called in whom used to take great deal
of interest when he was in Austin, Tex
Afterward used to see him a great deal
in Galveston, where he ran a faro game
and general gambling house. Davis was
the hardest man 1 ever met, and 1 have
seen a few. He was a giant of a man.
over six feet in hight, broad and burly
as well. One time 1 was out tarpon fish
ing, possibly a mile or two from shore
when l noticed Toothpick and another man
cruising about al a little distance from
me. Suddenly Toothpick's partner who
was stepping gayly about in the boat, fell
into the water. In wild endeavor to
save his friend, Davis fell after him. The
boat, which was sailing a bit free at the
time went something like 100 yards and
then got her head into the wind and stood
there tapping her sails. When the frs:
man hit the water my boatman, with
out Waiting for orders, at once headed to
the rescue. When Davis fell into the
water he was, if anything, nearer to US
than his friend. We pointed for him to
pick him up. but as we approached he
waved his hand and yelled:
Don't stop for me. Save my friend
He can't swim lick, and ne owes me ST.
COO
"Of course, we kept on and captured his
friend, who had about tub of water in
him, and didn't have anything to say for
an hour. Toothpick, who could sustain
himself we recovered safe and sound II
was perhaps three days later when I
CHANGED to meet Toothpick Davis in the
barroom of the hotel, and, after thanking
me for saving his life. he said:
But about my friend. You know that
I yelled to you that he owed me 81 500
Well. that's straight; but what does the
fellow do? AS soon as he recovered his
breath he lands on me aud says that he
must be in a streak of good luck because
he didn't drown, and that If I'd stake him
against faro bank he could win $lOO. 1000.
The worst of it is that he actually made
me believe it. Well coughed up $1,000,
and he now owes me $500 see? 1t would
have been better for me financially If he
had drowned SO I'm not so grateful as
l was"

there are still some of their widows alive.
This state of affairs can only be possible
on the ground that some of the soldiers.
after they had attained old age, married
young wives. The war of 1924 closed
with the battle of New Orleans, on JAM
8, 1915, eighty-four years ago. Surprising
that the youngest soldiers Were IS years
old, period of 102 years has elapsed since
the birth of such soldiers. Evidently many
of them, after they were old, married
young women, so that, although all the
men but three are dead, they have left be
hind more than 1000 widows.
By the same rule of procedure it is plain
there will be widows of soldiers of the civil
war on the pension rolls in 1880, and even
few in the year A. D. 1000, more than a
century hence, for if a soldier IS years old
in 1861 should marry when he reached the
age of 50 years, in 1923, a girl Is years old,
she might hope to live " years longer.

WAR WIDOWS.
Some of Them May Survive Even To

From the PhlladeIphia Telegranh-

From the Philadelphia Telegraph.
One Of the curiosites of the United
States pension service is the astonishing
survival OF war widows. The report of
the United States commissioner of pen-
sions, just issued, shows some remarkable
and interesting facts in regard to the
longevity of the widows of soldiers. For
instance. while there is not a single SOL
der of the war of the revolution alive To-
day, there are still surviving and drawing
pensions twelve widows and daughters Of
soldiers of the revolution. or the war of
1872 there are only three soldiers strl
alive, but of their widows there are sur-
viving and drawing pensions the aston
ishing number of 2,407.

A STREAM OF EARTH.
Said to Be Moving Down a steep VAL
ley in India at the Rate of 600
Feet a Year.
From the New York Sun.

Feet a Year.
From the New York Sun.
Capt. Roberts of the British army writes
to Sir Martin Conway, the explorer of the
Himalayas. of az curious phenomenon he
has seen among the mountains of the eX-
IRENE Northwestern part of India, not far
from the Upper Indus. There is very
narrow valley or nullah among these
mountains, the head of which is about T.
900 feet and the foot about 5000 feet above
sea level The earth on the floor OF TINS
nuilah is moving down toward the foot
OF the valley at the rate of about 800 feet
year. This estimate of the rate of move
ment is made from the position OF trees
that are growing on the surface and every
year are nearer the foot of the valley. Inc
surface of the moving mass fills the bot
tom of the nullah and is about 800 feet
wide. AS far as he is able TO ascertain
there is no ice or snow above or within
the moving mass. The surface is undulat-
ing and looks like a moraine-covered gla-
Ger, except that grass is growing upon
it. The neighboring villagers have made
a few cultivation terraces upon the moving
grass. In depressions on both sides OF II
streams flow between the mass and the
hiGsides - IS.
The natives say there is nothing new
about the phenomenon, that the mass i5
always in very ggadual motion ana
though they TN a part of the surface they
have given up attempts to build houses
on il because they always tumble down
Though this Information is made public
without comment by so high an authority
as Sir Martin Conway, the editor of Ma
ture, in which it appears. seems inclined to
regard 1t as a fish story and disclaims re-
sponsibilty for it. If the Information $
correct it would seem that the slope OF
the rock underlying the alIuvial mass IS
suf1ciently steep to overcome the frlc-
lion TO a considerable extent permitting
a SLOW movement of the earth down the
valley, as glaciers move to dover levels
This phenomenon appears to be midway
between the landslides that are frequent N
mountain regions when the lower part OF
the earth mass becomes saturated with wa
ter, making the rock slope on which Il
rests slippery, and the very thick, black
mud avalanches that Sir Martin Conway
and other explorers have described as rusn-
ing down the steep nullahs in the HIM
adayas at the rate of several miles an
hour.
