Prince Henry of Prussia, who was re-
Gently the nations guest, was deeply
loved by his father, the late Emperor
Frederick. 1t was to him that the en-
peror wrote on a slip OF paper, when he
was no longer able to speak: You, at
sorrow, and will make as good hus
band as you have been a loving SON"
And after his death it was learned that
the emperor had left the largest portion
of his fortune to his beloved son. Henry.

a Fellowship for two years at Column
bia, two years in Marburg University,
Germany, a summer in the Interna-
tional Marine and Biological Station
at Naples, another term at Columbia,
two years as professor of physiology
at Tufts College and a year at Harvard.
He went to Chicago University last
September. 1t was in Germany that he
began his experiments. There he
worked with Kossult and other eminent
psychologists and took up his investi-
cations first in the analysis of albumen.
At Naples he tried experiments similar
to those of Professor Loeb, but with
less successful results at the time. AT
Tufts he organized the department of
physiological chemistry, and at Har-
ward he carried on more original expe-
riments. He has been going to Wood S
Holl every summer-eXcept those when
he was abroad, since he was student
in the Institute of Technology. During
late years he has been one of the prin-
cipal lecturers at the summer school
there and ii was at this place wehere
the greater part of his work on nerve
stimulus was done. Here also Profess
sor Loeb carried on his experiments,
and the two men worked together for
some time. At present both are closely
associated, and while Professor Loeb's
work is more exhaustive and complete,
that of his young colleague, Professor
Mathews, is none the less of consider
able Importance. Together they are
working on the further problems which
their discoveries have opened up.

JACOB GARLAND'SGHOS
The Way a Blacksmith Laid
the Troubled Spirit.
BY Philip Little.

"What do l know about ghosts?
Well, not much. perhaps, but I'll tell
you of an experience of friend of
mine. and you can explain it as you
like" and the speaker, tall, thin, ca
daverous looking man. unwound him
self from his chair, walked to the fire,
took up a live coal in the tongs. lit his
pipe, reseated himself, crossed one leg
over the other, and having taken sip
of hot whisky, prepared to commence
his tale.
He was one of six or seven seated
in front of great open fire in the
kitchen of a small roadhouse, hardly
to be dignified with the name inn, in
western Missouri. The month was No
vember; it was a dreary, wet, blowy
night, and the rain beat against the
side of the house heavily.
Now and then a shutter, loosed from
it's fastening, banged fitfully, almost
complainingly, against window. None
of the party moved to make 1t fast,
however. as the warmth of the large
fire had charms of more potent ma
ture.

can only tell the story. Landlord"

audience as they drew their chairs in
half circle closer to the fire and the
story teller.

sens concerned know to whom the con-
tents belong, and as Jacob Garland is
dead, there will be no use in attempt
ing to trace or discover the where
abouts of that owner, or of the avenger
of the wrong
Beyond this there was no trace of
any description which would lead to
even following the perpetrator. Not a
mark was on the floor Of house, stable
or ground. The latter was hard and
the horses feet had evidently been COW
cred. He had gone more mysteriously
than he had come. His name had not
been mentioned by Garland; he had
simply referred to him as Henry and
Mrs. Garland had inferred from some
thing that had been dropped in con-
versation that ne belonged to the
branch Of the family with which Ja-
cob Garland had quarreled.
Jacob Garland was buried In the old
graveyard back of the house. The mat
ter drifted and passed out OF mems
minds. Mrs. Garland, taking Luenshy
with her, moved away and the house
was closed and remained unoccupied
for some five years.

MY friend was in despair. He did
not know which way to turn, and when
a young blacksmith of powerful frame
and steady nerves offered to stop in the
house and try and lay the ghost by fair
means or foul, his offer was accepted
with delight and gratitude.
'The blacksmith, taking with him a
lantern, uniighted, matches and an ak

house. took his post in small room on
the second floor that commanded both
flights of stairs. the one to the third
floor and attic and the flight leading
down to the hall. Here he waited pa
tiently as the hours stole by without a
sound.
Suddenly he is aroused by a gentle
step coming from the short attic flight
to the third floor. It is the tap OF a
slippered heel, as had been described
by the many occupants. II turns and

TWO blocks of the Mathews home His
father, now the wen-known musical
critic and editor of magazine of
music published in Chicago, was at
that time a member of the fire patrol
Which saved what little was left of
the city. Young Mathews received his
nrst training under Prof. Beltwood in
the Evanston High School, who was
then considered the greatest educator
IN the West. When Mathews went east
for college he was asked what educa-
ton he had
High school, he replied.
I'm Illinois,"
'Humph, there are only two high
schools in Illinois," replied the exam
lner. Princeton and Evanston"
Yes, and / came from one of
them" replied Mathews triumphantly.
AS Il matter of fact Prof. Beltwood
established the high school at Prince
ton and then moved to Evanston.
Albert Matthews was the best stu
dent BeltWood ever turned out. At the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology,
the boy was denied admission because
he was too young. The following year
he applied for admission again. He was
still year under age, but a special
dispensation of the authorities gave
him entrance. Throughout his course
there he distinguished himself beyond
previous record. He was scholarship
student and had come down to study
electricity, but got into biology in
stead. Prof. Sedgewick took a liking
for the young man and they did a
great deal of original research work
together. One very practical result of
their association was the tracing down
of the cause of the New England
diphtheria so prevalent at the time to
the milk which came down from the
Merrimac country. The following sum-
mer Mathews went about New Eng
land examining water supplies, wells
and town pumps. Many of these latter
he found full of germs and he had them
