First Suit.

The first suit against Central
University, growing out Of the con-
solidation Of that institution with
Centre College, was filed by Judge
c. II. Buck, in the Circuit Court
at Richmond July ,, in behalf OF
the heirs Of Mrs. X e b c a
Shearer. Mrs. Shearer gave 81, 900
to the erection fund Of the univer-
sity, and left certain sum in the
hands of trustees to be turned over
to the university when it had accu-
In the course of time
the fund amouted TO about S3, 600.
This amount was turned over to
the university, and the interest has
been used in educating the young
men of the Il II t y at different
times. The Shearer heirs claim
they have a right to recover the
fund, since the object for which it
was z i V n is thwarted. 1t is
probable that other suits may fol-
low this one.

Wheat May Rule The World
Next Fall

If the latest advices from France
and Germany are correct our farm
ers will have nothing to do but
" laugh and grow fat next fall.
Consul-General Mason sends word
from Berlin that "the cereal har-
vests of 1901 in Prussia will show
the largest and most disastrous
deficit that has been recorded in
recent years" He estimates that
the shortage of bread-making
grain in Prussia alone will be / -
766, 900 tons, worth at the present
price over $67, 900, 600.
From Paris comes the report
that the French wheat crop will
be so deficient as to make neces-
sary the importation of at least
36, 600, 900 bushels, worth at the
present price about $26, 900.
Here then is prospective for
eign demand for nearly 100000, =
600 worth of American grain over
and above the demand of last year
The Russian and the Argentine
wheat crops are both reported to
be less than last year. Our own
wheat crops, as now estimated,
will be something over zoo, 900, 600
bushels. which is one-third larger
than the crop Of 1900.
At this writing it looks like
American wheat will rule the
world next fall.-New York World

Throwing Rice.

How many people know that the Gus
tom of throwing rice at "A wedding
symbolizes not the expression of good
luck, but it is metaphorical flight Of
arrows shot at the bridegroom. In un-
civilized ages most nations were accus-
toned to the forcible capture of a bride
by her lover, and the attempts on the
part of her male relatives to prevent
her husband from carrying her away is
typified by volley of rice instead OF
more fatal missiles.

When "a boy turns his bulging
pocket inside out we marvel at the
quantity and variety of articles
he has slowed away. Odd lengths
of string, marbles, a horse-chest-
nut, IA top, brass nails, hickory
nuts, an apple, and many more ar
ticles are garnered by this
snapper up of unconsidered
trifles. We think the collection
must be hard on boys pocket.
And it is. But do we ever think of
the variety and miscellany of the
substances we put into the pocket
of our stomach? There's the apple
and the nuts, and things besides
quite as indigestible as brass nails
and with no more food value
than so many marbles. And yet
we wonder that the stomach "gives
out" When the stomach breaks
down under the strain of careless
eating and irregular meals it car,
be perfectly and permanently re-
stored to health and strength by
the use Of Doctor Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. The action of
this medicine on the stomach and
other organs of digestion and nu-
triton is so marked, that relief
from disease is at once experienced,
and the headaches, liv T
"troubles," )" kidney disorders, skin
eruptions and other symptoms of a
diseased stomach are quickly cured.
Whenever the use of laXitive
medicine is indicated, use DR..
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They act
in harmony with the discovery"
and assist its action by purging
the bowels of foul accumulations.

Blood.

We live by our blood and on it.
We thrive or starve, as our blood
is rich or poor.
There is nothing else to live on
or by.
When strength is full and spirits
high, we are being refreshed, bone,
muscle and brain, in body and
mind, with continual flow of rich
blood.
This is health.
When weak, in low spirits, no
cheer, no spring, when rest is not
rest and sleep is not sleep, we are
starved; our blood is poor; there
rs little nutriment in it.
When it fails, take Scott's
Emulsion of ced-liver oil. 1t sets
the whole body going again-man,

home is marve! OF comfort and

that the lady is not overburdened

Mrs. jackson said;
1T is really very easy to deco

absolutely no actual cost if one
goes the right way about it. Pict-
ures are the best ornaments in my
opinion. They strike the eye at

have expensive pictures in rich
frames / would do SO, but, not be-
ing wealthy, | have to curb my
ambitions. Yet there are really
beautiful and artistic productions
which make a great impression on
the beholder, and their cost is in
finitesimal, in fact they can be had
for nothing"
"How may they be obtained for
nothing, Mrs. Jackson?" the re-
porter inquired. "That must
surely be valuable piece of
knowledge. j."
"Oh, l don't know. There are
hundreds of thousands of families

Must Report.

A law which took effect July /,
says all trains must report to the
Insterstate Commerce Commission
at Washington accidents of all
kinds. The reports must cover de-
railments and collisions, but small
accidents where no one is hurt or
much property is injured, need not
be reported. The law requires full
reports Of casualties to passengers
and employees, except where the
employe is slightly injured and is
able to resume work in few days.
1t is believed the law will have a
good effect in reducing the number
of accidents.

Proiessions Not overcrowded.


There is a dearth of thoroughly train
ed men i'm all professions. The more
eXacting the conditions the greater the
need. The thoroughly trained man
nowadays must be a college man. The
universities are using every effort TO
train men along special lines for def
mite efficiency in something. The old
idea of college education as general
culture is passing away. The universi-
ty takes men as they are and makes
the most out of what they can do. A
man today in America is foolish TO be
self made" when better means are at
hand. 1t is equally foolish to choose a
self taught man as against other men
who have worked with equal zest and
force and with much better advan-
tages.
Formerly man Of an executive turn,
a leader i'm business or politics, found
in college education little that could
help him. Now he finds everything.
In the future the college men will be
the natural leaders i'm Industrial and
political affairs. The reason is that the
men born to lead cannot afford to stay
out of college.-Success.
