SKULL.
or His Dead Sweetheart Decorated
with Floral Wreath.

In the Office of DR.. ]. {. Snyder.
one of the most prominent physici.
ans of Bowling Green, Ohio, and a
surgical authority of some note, is
skull bedecked with withered
flowers, about which clings most
peculiar and interesting romance.
The Doctor is devoted 10 the science
of surgery, and in his Office are
many pieces Of the human frame,
but this particular skull is. perhaps,
the only one in existence tina,
yearly is honored with a birthday
celebration, and which is treated
and revered as a thing of soul and
feeling.
Years ago, when the Doctor
was a student at the University OF
Michigan, he met and loved young
woman of neighboring town.
Her parents were wealthy, and,
although the girl loved the strug-
Cling medic dearly, they considered
him too far below them socially to
be considered as a suitor, and told
her that she must bid him despair
of ever being more than a friend.
This she told him one S nday
while he was at her home, with
many tears. She commanded him
to go on with his study, to seek out
the mysteries of medical science,
and, for her sake to make himself
OF use to the world, and, perhaps, IN
the future her hard hearted parents
would reconsider their action and
they might yet be happy.
He went bsck to the college with
a heavy heart, but determined to
win. Several years later he walked
into the dissecting room and was
about to begin work on a subject
just brought in when, with cry of
horror, he recognized the body of
his sweetheart. Quickly recovering
himself, he made closer examina-
ton, hoping that he had been mis-
taken, but beyond doubt it was she.
Later investigation made by him
showed that she had died suddenly
after his departure, that Immediately
after her burial grave robbers, so
common in that vicinity, had VIC
lated her grave and brought the
body to the college.
He bought the body and went out
with his work, saying nothing to the
girls friends about his discovery.
He dissected it and mounted the
skeleton. He loved her then and
still adores her memory, and each
year he crowns her heshless bones
with a wreath Of flowers.

HOME.

How beautiful is this world that
Thou hast given us in which to live
How dear to us are the trees of the
forest, the flowers of the meadows,
the fruits of the earth ! How true
to their creation and their Creator
are the beasts of the field, the birds
of the air and the fishes of the sea
Man alone, whom Thou hast made
in Thine own image and endowed
with reason and made a free agent,
is base and false to Thee.
Man alone disobeys the laws and
limitations that Thou hast set for
his government and wanders away
from Thy home on a road that
Thou hast not made.
Yet Thou hast made a path for
his return after his wanderings.
Thou hast sent Thy Son to take
him by the hand and lead hin,
home, and on the returning way
speak no word of censure or re.
proach, but only love and the pleas.
ures of that home and reunited
family. And as he retraces hi:
eager steps, the bitter weeds thai
grew by the roadside as he wandered
away, will, by the sweetness of the
Galileean's love, be turned into
banks of roses and the trees will be-
laden with refreshing fruit.
My brother, my sister, let us &c
back home.

State Superintendent of Schools
Thomas c. Miller mas taken sum
mary action in regard to stopping
PROSECUTING by Mormon elders in
this State. He has notified all
school trustees that Mormons are
not religious denomination within
the meaning of the law and that
they cannot be allowed the use OF
school-houses in the State for the
purpose of holding services, as
religious denomination are. In
most of the country districts where
the Mormon elders are working
there IS no other place to hold
services. Over hundred elders
are proselyting in this State and
last year they made over 5000 con
verts.

inc bill being promised in exchange
for votes for the subsidy bill.
II I
On Tuesday the Senate devoted
itself to the consideration OF the bill
for the protection Of the President.
Senator Bacon of Georgia, defend
ing his amendment making the pro-
visions OF the bill applicable only
to those persons who might assault
the President, or his possible sue
cessors, because Of their position,
severely arraigned the growing ten
dency Of the Republicans to legis-
late on lines similar TO those of mon
archial countries and condemned
the quotation Of Great Britain on
every hand. The bill is expected
to pass today. 1t will be followed
by the anti oleomargarine bill and
that, in turn, by the Chinese exclu-
sion bill. The program of the Re
publican steering committee is to
pass the bill repeating the war taxes
with a minimum of debate, take up
the eight remaining appropriation
bills and adjourn carly in June,
avoiding, in as far as possible, all
further discussion of those questions
on which the Democrats hold op.
posite views from themselves as they
realize that the debates which would
follow their consideration would be
productive of telling effect in the
coming election. l I'm told that
even the Philippine government bill
will be permitted to go over to the
short session, as the Republican
leaders believe that further discus
sion of the Philippine question be-
fore the election will be productive
of injury to the party. "Keep the
people in the dark as far as posi-
BILE" will be the motto for the rest
of the session.

TO the London correspondent of Har.

At one performance of that play two
women sat behind him-stodgy, lower.

the suburbs. One had treated the
other, and wanted some acknowlcdg.

II hope you enjoyed it. my dear?'
Well" said the other. you know
It amt what you could call deep play

The other tale was about farmer
who went TO see Hamlet for the first
time. apparently quite unbiased by any
knowledge of either tragedy or author
After the Prince of Denmark had
made his first exit, the man asked his
neighbour:
Does that young man in black come
on ngain!'
"Oh. yes" was the answer. you'll
see good deal of HIM"
"Ah." said the farmer, then I'm off.
