By his will the late Alfred Nobel, the
Swedish dynamite manufacturer, left
almost the whole of his fortune TO be
converted into an international fund
for the Advancement of scientific re-
search. The bequest, however, was dis
puted by the relatives of the deceased
and litigation ensued. 1t is now an.
nounced that a compromise has been
reached whereby the relatives receive
about 81 100000 of the property, the bal
ance, amounting to about 81 ,OOO, 900, be-
ing used as designated by Mr.. Nobel
This will give, under the terms of the
will, five prizes annually of about SAL.
900 each TO persons making the most
important discovery in physics, chem.
istry, physiology or medicine.

Artistic Postal Cards.

The pictorial postal cards Of Ger
many. which furnish the imperial mail
department with an ever-increasing
amount of revenue. have for some time
been assuming a decidedly artistic
character. 1t now appears that even
the masters of German art do not
disdain TO take "A hand in this direc-
ton. A Berlin paper warns the col
lectors Of picturesque "Ausichts-Kar-
ten" to look our for a new one, which
is TO be issued by committee of the
"Internationale Postkarten Gesell-
schaft." The artist in this case is no
other than Adolph Won Mcneil, the
president of the Berlin Academy of
Arts. and one of the five foreign men,
bers Of the British Academy of Arts.
The subject of the picture is night
scene in Berlin cafe: and as the num-
Der Of copies will be limited ii is quite
certain that the card is destined in
time to command n very high price. 1t
seems rather strange that this feature
of mail devices has not yet been intro
duced in the United States.
Even the kaiser's visit to Palestine
has been used as the subject of pic
torial cards, for every effort is being
made TO keep the famous journey be-
fore the German mind. Palestine
thalers have been coined with the fig
ure of the imperial couple on the face
and a guardian angel distributing
wreaths with both hands. God the
Almighty His Guidance" Is the in
scription on these memorial coins.

said about smoking in her presence ?"
The conductor had to confess that,
though he had heard good many
stories on the rear platform, he had
never heard this particular one.

William DAILY, the racehorse owner,
better known as "Father Bill" is often
the victim of practical jokers on the
racetracks, but frequently gets off a
little joke himself, and whenever he
does it usually pays. His latest at
tempt in this line occurred during the
fall meeting of the Aqueduct track,
and he won 1925 from stranger who
failed to recognize in a dusty, seedy-
looking man "Father Bill" One of
Bill's horses pulled up lame after
gallop, and as the colored boy jumped
from his back DAILY sent the boy to the
stable for pail of hot water. The boy
returned, and DAILY was about to put
the horses foot into the steaming hot
water when the stranger stepped up.
He looked on until the foot was finally
showed into the pail. Then he began
to call DAILY names because DAILY was
cruel to the horse.
Father Bill went on bathing the lame
foot, but as the stranger broke out
afresh he stopped in his work, and
looking up said:
"Sure the water isn't hot at all.''

You're brute, and it would serve you
just right to have your foot stuck in

DAILY was quiet moment and then
he said:
CPL show you that it doesn't hurt by
putting in my own foot"
"Bet you $25 you WON'T" said the
stranger. "You're too much of
coward or you wouldn't treat dumb
animal that way"
"Take him, Bill. Bet him." shouted
the colored stable boy who stood by.
"Well, put up your money" said
DAILY with sly wink at the stable boy,
which the stranger didn't see, for he
was busy counting out the money.
The colored boy held the stakes, and a
fresh pail of steaming hot water was
brought. DAILY then pulled up his
trousers and plunged in his foot, the
water reaching almost to his knee.
"My God!" screamed the stranger, as
DAILY drew his foot out with smile.
"What are you made OFF"
ooh, Pm all right" answered DAILY
"but the leg is wood"

What Did Shakespeare Mean ,

Shakespeare never wrote truer words than,
Life of our pleasant vices doth make whips
to scourge u.s." This can only mean that to
our misuse of the pleasures of life we owe
most of the ills of poor health. Duubly do
the words apply to men who, through igno-
rance, folly and indiscretion, have used up
strength, energy and vitality, and left them
selves almost wrecks of manhood. Their
condition would indeed be pitiable were it
not for the fact that scientific physician,
specialist in the cure of this class of dis
eases of men, has come to their relief and
made it easily possible for weak and vigorless
men to regain their lost vitality and yigor,
We refer to DR.. Greene of "a Temple Place,
Boston, Mass, discoverer of the world famous
DR.. Greene's Nervura, as well as other mar

Grating remedies, who, notwithstanding his
enormous practice and excessive demand
upon his time, offers to consult with any suf-
ferer from nervous and physical debility abso-
lutely free and advise and counsel him in
