SOUTHERN UNIVERSITIES.

In the report of the President of the
University he speaks of the relatively
lower cost to- the State of the educa-
tional facilities accorded at the Universe
ty and the impossibility of continuing
to do efficient work ut that rate. The
following figures show this fact very
clearly. The table represents the cost
to the State of the education of the
figures are gotten by dividing the State
or State and Government appropriation
by the total number of students:
North Carolina 80. $4SS2 per student.
Georgia ... 64.57 per student.
Texas ........ 1928 per student.
Tennessee ..... 1929 per student.
Virginia ....... 124.O1 per student.
West Virginia ..... 1914 per student.
South Carolina -. 1855 per student.
Arkansas ..... 1929 per student.
Kentucky ....... 2O2.29 per student.
Louisiana ....... 254.OO per student.
AS both Georgia and Texas have large
productive funds besides the aid from
the State fairer comparison would be
by total income. The same comparison
is given fbr Alabama and Mississippi,
no other figures being obtainable for
these.

Learning Among the Clergy.

The idea that the business of a cler-
gyman is to maintain and spread belief
in a particular religion which he be-
lieves to have been revealed, and Of Il
bishop to see that he does it, is slowly
dying away, until there is a doubt
whether learning is of any use, and the
mar who possesses it, especially if it
be of the older kind, is regarded often
with kindness no doubt, and
times with admiration, but usually
with a pity from which contempt is
not entirely absent. What could you
expect?" said a country town magnate

HYDRAULIC PIPE-DRIVING MA
CHIME.

To drill wells in soft or sandy soils
is the work Of the apparatus seen in
the accompanying picture, the invent
or, being a Nebraskan. Ordinarily the
task is accomplished by driving the
sections Of pipe with a heavy sledge,
but this arrangement is intended to
remove the earth Immediately below
the end of the pipe, causing it to fall
gradually into the ground. The ap-
paratus consists of a suction pump,
which is connected with the horizon
tai cylinder lying in the box, the cyl
inder being in turn connected with
the churnlike cask on the platform.
The pipe is connected in sections by
means of ball joints, which allow free
play as the pipe falls, and the upper
end of the pipe is attached to the cask.
The hole formed by the pipe is filled
to the surface with water and the ac-
ton of the pump in sucking the water
from the hole draws the loose dirt
from around the end of the pipe into
che cask, which acts as a settling
chamber and can be emptied from
time to time. The water passes on
into the cylinder and thence back to
the earth again. The inventor claims
that one man, with the aid Of this APP

A BRAKE For BOATS

Count Posse of Sweden has invented
an apparatus for stopping the Roadway
of boats, which, he thinks, will be use
full in preventing collisions between
vessels of all kinds. The apparatus.
which has recently been tested on a
large steam-launch, consists of steel
plate shutters, applied on both sides
of the vessel about o~ne-quarter of it's
length from the stern. These can be
opened and shut by the helmsman
with the aid of a lever. When the
launch was going at full speed, nine
knots an hour, it was stopped in if-
teen seconds, within half it's length. by
reversing the engine and extending
the shutters.

THE HYGIENE CARE OF CLOTHING.
Many people who pay great attention
to cleanliness from the sanitary point
of view, who lay much stress upon the
proper ventilation of their rooms and
are careful to battle often, are yet
found wanting in one most important
particular-that is, the hygienic care
of clothing, especially outer clothing.
Underclothing goes frequently to the
laundry, and is not, therefore, the text
of these remarks. But many people,
otherwise scrupulous in their personal
hygiene, will come in from a long, hot
and dusty journey, remove a warm,
perspiration-soaked dress or coat, and
hang it at once in a close, dark closet,
or place in the same receptacle a skirt
that has been for hours gathering up
the filthy sweepings of streets and cars.
IL 40 01L1dll WOAOS1 IApJ IA1O oNC1 dSO
wardrobe should give out a most dis
agreeable odor when the door has been
closed for a short time.
All outer clothing, especially if of
wooden material, should be hung up in
a current of fresh air to dry and cool
before being put away. Dress shields,
the Innings of women's collars, and
the bindings of skirts should be often
renewed.
Frequent change of clothing will be
necessary, and "dress shields" should
be worn by all who have this %unpleas-
ant infirmity, men as well as women,
and the same suit or dress should
never be worn on two consecutive
days. Indeed, for every one, for
clothes and shoes alike, the alternate
day system is both clearly and eco
nomical-one day for wearing, one day
for airing.

SCIENCE OF THE NERvEs-PAIN.

4
This term is used to designate re-
curing paroxysms of pain, usually
affecting but one side of the face. The
cause of the trouble is, of course, an
important consideration, since if it can
be found there is a chance that it may
be removed, and it's removal will
eventually, although perhaps not i'm
mediately, terminate the attacks.
This tracing of the pain to its
source-the point where some form OF
Inflammation irritates the delicate
nerve endings-is not always easy.
One naturally looks first to the teeth,
which are often at the root of the
trouble; but the nose, the throat, the
ear may each be the seat Of disease
which occasion the neuralgia; or it
may be c~hargeable to some disorder of
the stomach or to a deranged condi-
ton of the general health, although
the two latter cause are more often
accessory, rather than primary.
In almost every case the sufferer is
compelled, from the severity of the
pain, to seek temporary relief in what
eve way he may.
When an attack is allowed to pro-
coed without the employment of any
means to ameliorate it, the initial dull
pain increases by darts and throbbing,
slowly becoming more violent and
rapid until the sufferer shrinks almost
as If from blows. Then, having reached
its worst, it gradually or suddenly
fvanishes.
Heat applied externally in some form
is always beneficial. 1t may be APP
piled to the face and neck by means of
the hot-water bag or bottle, or of the
more primitive hop bag or salt bag.
The important thing is to have the
bag large, thick, soft and flexible, so
that it may long retain its heat and fit
closely to the face and neck.
Recurrence Of the attacks is caused
by exposure to cold and dampness, es-
Ipecially to damp winds, and by n
exposure or injury of the nerves espe-
cially affected. 1t is common, for ex-
ample, for an attack to recur with
severity after the removal of an Of
Tending tooth, especially if its removal
is attended with laceration Of the gum
or jaw.
Internal remedies, best used under
the physicians direction, are frequent
ly necessary. Treatment, however, is
never to be confined to the relief of
the pain; the sufferer should invari-
ably be sustained with tonics and an
abundance of food. A generous diet,
especially in the matter of fatty food,
ike butter, cream and olive oil, is i'm
portant.
Strength is lent to the theory that
malaria frequently complexities facial
neuralgia by the fact that the remedies
employed against malaria almost al
ways lessen the force of neuralgia at
lacks.
The chances of being permanently
relieved from neuralgia are less in per-
sons past middle age than In the
young and vigorous. For this reason,
if for no other, efforts to locate and
annihilate the cause should be deter
mined from the beginning.
