PERSONAL NOTES.

The authorities of Radcliffe College deny
the report that Helen Keller failed in her
examinations last month. She is one of
the brightest women IN the institution.
Sir William Muir, at the age of 81, is
about to leave his position at the head Of
Edinburgh University. During the Indian
mutiny he performed his first public SER
vice, when he was in charge of the intelli-
gence department at Agra.
President David Starr Jordan, of Le-
land Stanford, Jr., University, says he be-
lieves that, since higher education has be-
come so widespread, the future of this
country lies more with the universities
than any other power.

While this project seems even more fan
tastic than the sentimental campaign
initiated by Spanish publicists it must be
remembered that Mr.. Leroy. Beauleu is
celebrated economist and not visionary.
If what he suggests be largely impractical
BILE at least it indicates the apprehension
felt in Europe over our industrial advance,
and should open our eyes to the kind of
struggle that we are in for in the contest
for the worlds trade. The wars which we
shall be called ON to wage in the coming
century will be industrial. Armed as we
are by the higher intelligence of the hu.
man factor, and the greater natural re-
sources of the country, we shall have to
put forward all our best efforts if we are to
confront united Europe. Mr. Leroy
Beaulieu's scheme cannot be realized in
full for generations, but the slightest APP
Proclamation to tariff arrangement which
would unite European countries and shut
out the products of the United States
might prove a serious embarrassment to
the even development of our commerce.
1t will not do to borrow trouble, nor to
cross the bridge of hostile economic
European coalition till we come to it, but
at the same time it will not do to ignore
the obvious drift of things abroad. Our
own industrial advance cannot be too sed-
ulously watched. Everything that gives
it force and increases its possibilities should
be carefully cultivated. We are doing
much in the way of general education. 1t
is not true, as Stanton Colt has said, that
our working people are illiterate. He
looks through Latin and British glasses.
Great Britain, IN fact, only began to real
ize the value of a common education for
all classes about thirty years ago. We
have an advantage here and can keep it,
Just as we are ahead of England, if not OF
Germany, in our technical and CONNER
cial education. But we cannot rest where
we are. We must raise our standards OF
and beat Europe at its own
game.

old people young. For years he has

PHAROAH'S MAGICIAN.
A statuette of the Ancient wonder
Worker Said to BE In BRight-
on Museum.

Visiting Brighton museum, Mr.. Wei
gall, the well-known Egyptologist, saw
an Egyptian statuette. It was such
an attractive statuette-in an archas-
illogical sense-that he examined IT
closely. The result was discovery OF
much interest to Psychologists, says
the London Express.
According to its label, written, ]
understand, by Mr.. Birch, the statuette
belonged TO Pharoah's chief bugler. In
DR.. Birch's day, however, Egyptology
was in its infancy, and / found that
one group of hieroglyphics had been
The real translation is
Chief Magician of the Lord of the Two
Lands; /. e., to the king of Upper and
Lower Egypt, the Pharoah.
ION the right shoulder Of the statu-
cite is out the name Of King Rameses
H., who is generally accepted as the
Pharaoh who oppressed the lsraelites.
From this it is plain that the statuette
belonged to Rameses' chief magician.
Meneptah, who succeeded Rameses, II
generally regarded as the Pharaoh OF
the Exodus. The competition between
Pharaoh's magicians and Aaron and
Moses probably took place at the be-
ginning of Meneptah's reign, and
Rameses' magician might still be in
office.
Therefore, it is possible that the
original owner of the statuette was one
of the very magicians who competed
with Moses and Aaron. Archaeology
has given us so little information re-
Qarding the times of Moses that the
statuette may be regarded as one OF
the most interesting objects in Bibli-
cal archaeology at present known. 1t

other during the next four years that they
will not be able to accomplish much
against Repubicanism. The country will

COMBINING AGAINST UNITED STATES.
Philadelphia Press.

Philadelphia Press
Confronted with the spectacle OF the
paramountcy of the United States in the
Western Hemisphere the recent Spanish
American congress at Madrid talked OF
combining all Latin America in moral,
social and economic zollverejn to oppose
the "pre, ensions" of the United States. 1t
was quite clear at the congress that the
economic combination could not be effect
ed, and as the spiritual aud moral leader
of Latin America Spain is likely to gain
more in the matter of idle compliments
than in substantial results. Unimpressed
by the futile character of the Latin Amer

"Tapeblatt' advocating an economic fed

own, commercial development in order to

Hens Are Killed by Oats,

Oats are good food for hens. for
a change, but they should be boiled
before feeding. A neighbor of mine
who keeps a good many hens was
favored with surprise party this fall,
the party being held in a grove, in
the form Of picnic. The visiting
friends helped to make their call
pleasant by bringing a nice present.
While the friends stayed. the hens
grew hungry, and in the haste of
the moment, they were given a lib
eral feed of oats, as it was just after
thrashing. After the visitors had
gone an account of stock was taken,
and it was found that there was an
increase in resources to the amount
of a new sewing machine, minus the
value of about rs hens, the number
found dead. The oats had so swollen
IN the crop of the fowls that the crop
was actually broken open by the
pressure.-Rural New Yorker.

Captain Hart Suicides.

Baker City, Ore, Feb 1S.-Colonel w.
Thomas Hart, while passenger on the
Boise train coming into Huntington, stood
on the rear platform of the train as it was
crossing the bridge over the Snake river
and jumped overheard before he could be
detained by those who saw him.
Before leaving Huntington he wrote a
letter to the proprietor of the hotel at
Weiser, where he had been stopping, tell
ing him not to expect him home as he in
tended to commit suicide and requesting
him to take care of his effects.
Colonel Hart was a resident of this city
in 1898 and 1899, and was widely known
as a railroad and mining engineer. He
was 68 years old and native of Savan-
nah, Ga, where he has a sister. No rea-
son is known for the suicide. A searching
party will drag the Snake river tomorrow.
Colonel William T. Hart, who commit
ted suicide by jumping from train into
the Snake river, was formerly connected
with the bimetallic properties at Philips
burg, Mont Recently he had been inter
ested in the Seven Devils camp and had
been promoting railway to run into that
section. He was an ex-confederate colonel

Meeker, Col, Feb. lS.-Colonel Roose-
welt and John Golf have ridden into Meek
er from the keystone ranch. When asked
Tor an interview the governor referred the
reporter to Mr.. Golf.
Mr. Golf said II lions were killed durinu
the hunt and that the governor himself
Killed II, four of which he killed with his
knife and eight with his rifle. MIR. Golf
further stated that Governor Roosevelt
yesterday killed the largest lion that has
been killed in that section, weighing z27
pounds and measuring 1-2 feet in the
flesh. Mr. Golf states that Roosevelt kill
ed it with his knife.
One of the most exciting experiences of
the hunt occurred during night before
last. Roosevelt killed with his rifle his
second to the largest lion. In order to
get shot at the unsuspecting beast the
governor leaned the larger portion of his
welghty body over a perpendicular cliff
40 feet high, John Golf holding him by
the leg while Roosevelt aimed and fired in
stantly killing his game. Governor Roose-
welt expresses himself as having had the
most enjoyable time of his life.
Governor Roosevelt will leave Meeker
today in a special conveyance. He will
take the train this evening at Rifle,
whence he will probably go home.
