Reopeninu of the University.

Under the guidance of its new presi- dent, Dr. Wyman, the doors of the University of Alabama have been thrown open for the coming Univer- sity year. The prospects of the insti- tuition were never brighter. The en- rollment, not yet completed, promises to be large, especially in new students. The new president is beloved and re- spected throughout the State. Poli- tics has been banished, and there is no reason why the University with all its resources and with so much his tory behind it, should not get out of the list of the minor colleges and be- come one of the great educational in stitutions of the South. It is now en- titled to the support of all Alabam- ians. for it is no longer the football of a political cnque. No politician can dictate to Dr. Wyman, or secure from him undue privileges for a son ol favorite. All such things have been stopped, and the University Is to be conducted, as all may well know, or a high and honorable plane.
 The adoption of the new constitution will complete the work of taking the University out of politics. As soon as the new instrument is ratified the board of trustees will become a self perpetuating body; the income of tho institution will be permanently de termined by the constitution itself and no favors will be asked either from the executive or legislative de partment. The University will ther indeed be out of politics, and politics will be banished from its portals. This is a consummation that all good men in the State have long desired.

My Dream.

Very musical and entertaining are tht latest lines from Samuel Minturn Peck Alabama's poet, gone long ago to dwel in Boston-and the great company her' in this State who have been charmed many a time by his song will find thu old charm, the old ring in My Dream dreamed that I was singing
 A little song for you; The happy notes went wingfng Like swallows OCT the dew. My breast so fondly pleaded
 In strains by passion stirred. No waking prayer were needed If you had only heard,
 Sweetheart,
 If you had only heard Your glance was grief-beguiling, It made my sorrow flee; In peerless beauty smiling
 You gave your heart to me But night hath fled, and morning Brings back the old heartbreak- To meet your cruel scorning.
 Alas, why did I wake.
 Sweetheart,
 Alas, why did I wake!

 It was Charlie's first game of golf His patient friend had taken him sadly around the eighteen holes and watched him hack the ball into small bits and cut up the green as though 1t had been played on by shrapnel. Afterwards the two were talking to a few of the golfers on the clubhouse veranda.
 That was beautiful shot you made this afternoon. Charlie" said the pa tient friend.

 "On one of the coldest days of last winter I met Mir. noberts in his shirt sleeves in the street. He had come without a coat across country from his home at Toadv'ne, twenty-five miles away.
 |" Surely, MT. Roberts, I said, you must be crazy, out a day like this in your shirt sleeves. I am shivering in this heavy overcoat!'
 "'why, I am perfectly comfortable he said, and he looked 1t.
 MT. Roberts is remarkably stout and strong, the red-faced, sandy-haired, blue-eyed embodiment of perfect health. There are doubtless quite number of men in this climate who never wear overcoats In winter, but I'll wager that MT. Roberts is the only man in Jeffer- son County who doesn't wear any kind of coat at any time"

Following the earthquake shocks
that visited the Pacific coast the other

velOped in the waters CT the Pacific.
Within distance of slxiy-Gve miles
along the Los Angeles County shore
line tho salty waters, heretofore clear
and Of the usual greenish color, have
become terra-cotta red.
This color line extends off shore for
several miles and is so distasteful to
the fish family that they have gone
far into the ocean to seek clear waters.
At night this colored sea water gives
off phosphorescent light, and as the
long lines of waves roll, toss and
strike the beaches they cast renec-
tion that enables one to read average
print.
At certain points along the beach
the water has turned sweet. The
theory is advanced that the earth
quake opened a tissue off the coast
that forces fresh water and colorcd
matter to the surface.-New York Sun.

Strange Reunion Of Brothers.

A remarkable reunion has been ef.
fected between two brothers in Henry
County, Indiana. after a separation of
nearly half n century. during which
time each thought the other dead.
Barton and Jabez Guyer lived with
their parents In North Carolina. In
1852 Barton left home to make his
way In the world. He went to Texas,
thence to Mexico, finally returning to
Texas, where he located. He wrote
his brother repeatedly, but received
no reply to his letters and gave him
up for dead.
Jabez never received any information
from Barton. He lost all trace of
him, and likewise mourned him as
dead. Barton enlisted in the Confed
crate army. and served until peace
was declared. Jabez later on moved
with his family to Henry County, Ind.
Recently relative of the family
learned, through conversation with
n travelling salesman. OF man named
Barton Guyer in Harrisburg. Texas.
A correspondence developed the fact
that he was the long-lost brother.
Barton came on to meet his brother.-

Shoes and Health,

Many women torture thmeselves by
cramping their feet into too small
shocs. in the hope of thereby lncreas-
ing their charms. The effect is just
the contrary. To begin with. the pro-
cess causes pain. and the result Is that
the face often has a strained, worn
look, which is followed in time by
wrinkles. Sometimes the compression
is sufficient to cause not only corns
and bunions. but also more serious
injury TO the foot. which, instead OF
being, ms 1t ought TO be. thing of
beauty, becomes almost rs hideously
distorted as that of Chinese lady.
Too tight shoes are always worn at
the expense Of health. for their wcarer
gives up walking exercise on account
of the suffering and difficulty it IN
wolves. \ shoe that Is too narrow or
too short is such an instrument of tor
ture that one cannot imagine n SEN
sible woman would ever have recourse
TO Il. but every shoemaker knows that
many fashionable women habitually
under go this self-imposed penance.
Their intimates probably find their
charms lessened by the irritable nerves
and tempers which they now acquire,
and even strangers soon notice an anX-
ious, suffering. and even disagreeablc
expression becoming fixed on their
hitherto pleasant features. but still
they persist I'm their efforts to obtain
"a pretty little foot" Wifi courage

Dizzy ?
Chicago Man Has Two Hearts.

Injuries in an explosion resulted in
Karl Wambold learning that he has
two healthy hearts. Wambold, who
~ "a years old, bears no external ev-
idence of being unusually different
from other men, yet wherever he goes
medical men besiege him for private
exhibitions. AS soon as the medical
college vacations are ended he will re-
turn to Chicago from tour which
he Is making of the northern lake
districts. About ~ years ago, while
working in stone quarry I'm Ger
many, Wambold attempted to lnvesti-
gate why charge of powder had fail
Ell TO explode, and he was injured.
Along with several other men he was
picked up for dead. One man put an
ear to Wambold's breast. The heart
beat was detected, though on the
wrong side of Wambold's body. When
the surgeons arrived they found not
only one abnormal organ, but the nor
mal one AS well. The right heart Is
said to perform its functions as prop
erly as the left, against which 1t press
es slightly, and both are as free from
disease apparently as any normal
heart. Physicians say there has never
been similar case, so far as medical
records show.

Vast improvements on the StiT Collars
May Be Made and Laundcrcd Mt Home.
The summer girl at last has realized
that the comfort of her shirtwiast is
more than half spoiled by the dis
comfort of her stiff linen collars, and
this year has betaken herself TO stocks.
While some of these are really very
little improvement on collars, as far
as comfort is concerned, others are
soft and thin. easily laundered and
easily made at home.
One of the simplest is the stock tie
Take n strip of white nninsooll, thin,
but not too sheer, or of dimity, one and
one-half yards long anu four incncs
wide. and round II slightly Mt the
throat by a collar pattern that opens
in the back. With bias strip Of
colored chnmbray or lawn one inch
wide bind the entire tie by sewing
one edge OF the bias strip TO the edge
of the tie, folding IL In the middle and
stitching down the other edge over the
first seam.
These ties are worn without any
other collar and are put around the
neck. crossed in the back and tied In
front in bow or four-in-hand.
Another. easily made. too, Is the
crush stock of white plpue, cheviot or
even duck, with colored ends. These
have n straight edge at the top, which
gives n more decidedly crushed effect
when worn. They are made by sew
ing two thicknesses of pique together,
stitching around edges and adding any
kind of ties one likes. There are the
short ties for mere knot. ties rounded
or pointed for small bow and long
ends for four-in-hand. made Of the
material Of shrtwaist with which the
stock Is TO he worn. of solid chambray
or linen. or some Of the pretty white
shirtwaist stuffs sold in the shops.
One of these ties is scwed only Mt its
extreme edges. so TO leave a slit for
the other tie to go through when put
around the neck. Still another very
effective one Is made from a linen
or a lawn handkerchief. with narrow
hemstitched hem and tiny vine of en-
S-oidery. First fold the handkerchief
from corner to corner and cut in n
straight line one and one-half inches
from each side of the fold. Cut this
strip in two crosswise and you have

Turkish Women Honting.

One OF the few amusements of which
Turkish women may avail themselves
in summer is the boating on the Sweet
Waters of Europe and Asia on Fri
days and Saturdays. These two rivers
are crowded in fine weather with
graceful caiques, which carry only
two pleasure seekers and require a
special boatman. 1t is brilliant
sight, for the oarsmen appear in white
costumes. with silk or satin Zouave
jackets embroidered in gold and silver.
Since the dress Of the women permits
little variety Of color, they give vent
to their love Of brilliant hues in the
parasols which they carry even after
sunset. Only two of the caiques now
retain the traditional furnishings OF a
carpet or piece of embroidery training
in the water ON both sides OF the boat.

One of the first women in the coun-
try to take up the profession of in
terror decoration in serious way was
Mrs. Harry Klingenfeld, who dozen
years or so ago took a special course at
Columbia College as preparation OF
the work. At that time Columbia
College had not opened Its doors
to women, even informally, but
concessions were made to Mrs. king
enfield, who was the daughter of Sen
ator Ijams, of Nebraska, and under
the private tutorship of the best man
the school afforded, she pursued a
special course in architectural
draughtsmanship and fiat water color
work with a thorough grounding in
the artistic and historical side of the
subject.
1t was an unusual line for woman
to adopt at til, time. There were few,
il any, women decorators in the coun-
try, certainly none at all in the West
when Mrs. Klingenfeld came back to
open n studio in Chicago. A little
later Miss Mary Tillinghast, who had
Uctu Sluuy lhE win JOhh LII a. sc 'Ni
years, opened n studio of her own in
New York, and to the business of
making stained glass windows added
that OF making rooms in which the
windows would fit Since then good
many other women have gone into
the work, with more or less of similar
preparation and with proportionate
success, but Mrs. Klingenfeld was a
pioneer in the field, with all of the
true pioneers enthusiasm and hope
and with also the pioneers courage
in overcoming obstacles. None of these
qualities has deserted her to-day and
her love for her work and her belief
in It as a legitimate phase of art
reaching out and touching the lives
of the people are as strong to-day as
ever.
Probably no other decade has ever
seen so marked an improvement in
public taste as the last ten years. 1t
would be hard to find to-day woman
who would tie yellow satin bow to
the heel of the flying Mercury as Mrs.
Klingenfeld found one when she first
began to decorate other people 3

mental POINT of view, and not at all
from their utilitarian side, has about
