appearance. The above distinguished
guests, together with w. J. Kerr and
President Lindford made felictous
expressions as to the worth and

round. Prof. Lindford and the en-
tire faculty are to be congratulated on
the completeness and success OF the
affair from beginning TO end. The

Story of a Top.Hat.

A lady who lives in a fashionable
suburb is Of a saving turn of mind, and
manages to combine her love of econ
omy with due regard for her hus-
bands appearance by turning his old
top-hats into waste paper baskets. The
other day she saw on the hall table a
prehistoric hat, venerable with age
She seized 1t in triumph, and had just
removed the brim, covered the body
with light blue silk and was finishing
it off with tasteful arrangement of
lace and bows when she was interrupt
ed by the servant: please mum, the
piano tuner says he can't find his ton
hat nowneres; he left it in the hall.
he says" Ten minutes later that
tuner left the house with cap on his
head and sovereign in his pocket.
Waste paper baskets are now scarce
in that house.-London Tit-Bits.

LEARNING TO LIKE AvocA-os.
Alligator Pear From Cuba Growing in
Favor With Cothamites.

One of the results of The Spanish
war has been the popularizing in New
York of the avocato OF alligator pear,
a product of Cuba and Porto Rico. Be-
fore the war there was scarcely any
demand here for this fruit. Only one
downtown fruit store ever had it on
sale, and you were not sure of getting
IL there. New the green or purplish-
red pears may be seen in almost any
fruit stall.
The alligator pear should be eaten
before breakfast Split it open, tane
cut the seed, dress the interior with
oil, vinegar pepper and salt and eat
with spoon. Tne taste for this
fruit, once acquired, is permanent and
enduring. Hundreds of thousands Of
cvocatos come into New York now
where dozens came before the war
with Spain.
The alligator pear, says the New
York Nail and Express. is called In the
West Indies, Central and South Amer
lea either Avocado" "avocato" or
''ayocati" according to location. Each
OF the names is corruption OF an old
Mexican word.

Intelligence of Snaiis.

Camille Spiess. a noted naturalist.
records a remarkable case of animal
sagacity. At the foot of the Jura
mountains in the canton of Vaud there
lives farmer who raises edible snails
(helix pomatia). He has as many as
$4,000 of them at one time in an inclos-
ure surrounded by wooden fence
about two feet high. To prevent the
escape of the mollusks the top of the
fence is covered with board. the edge
of which is armed with sharp metallic
points. Lately the snails have discov-
cred the means to surmount this bar
rier- A number OF them climbed the
fence until they reached the top, then
forming sort of ladder. those behind
passed over the shells of the others in
front. and SO all but one got safely
over the top without being impaled
on the metal points. This simple
story proves" says NJ. Spiess, that
the vineyard snail is not without cum
ming; his behavior in this case gives
evidence Of a reasoning faculty such
as we have never before encountered
in his actions" One must go very low
down the animal scale to reach the
last trace of thought and will.

Afraid Of tho Auburn Hair

The mere fact that Mary Jane Cor.
nish OF Allen, Md, had fiery red hair
would not be very peculiar were if not
for the fact that Mary Jane herself is
as black and shiny as the ace of
spades. Her hair, though red, is as
kinky as it would be if it were blacl,
Mary Jane was born with red hair
and 1t has been a misfortune to her,
Tor as a child she had to stand the

DISCHARGE CAMP FOR TROOPS
Advantsgeo.siy Located on Island in
San Frarcisco tiarbor.


The discharge camp on an island If
San Francisco harbor is a unique es-
tablishment in the history of Ameri-
can military service. Probably no.
where else in the United States could
such a favorable location be found.
Climate, scenery, conveniences of 10
cation, peculiar adaptability to mill
tary requirements, availability of sup
plies, sanitary conditions and means
of transportation, all combine to make
the place most advantageous to the
government and to the soldier, in con
nection with the transpac!tic military
service, and our growing commercial
supremacy in the Orient.
On the average the 1o,747 short-term
soldiers discharged and paid at this
camp from Dec. l, 1901, to June 80.
1902, received a total o. 1886, ,35i. Or
this amount 1873 per cent was expend-
ed for railroad tickets. 1916 per cent in
vested in express money orders, or
total of 53.i per cent (S1,793,S55) dis
posed of through the joint ticket
agency and express Office, leaving a
remainder of 4G.G per cent. or 81 ,562,-

for miscellaneous expenses, various

WOMEN AND THE "WeED."
Ladies Of Many Hationalities Enjoy
Its FraQrance.

The French housekeeper delights in
her after-dinner cigarette. The sonora
OF Barcelona loves in the evening to
wrap her black crepe around her head
and while gently putting her long to-
bacco cigarette to cast heart.thrilling
glances from her balcony above the
walks at the lights below. While the
German frau is fond Of her cigarette
or even cigar, and the Russian wife is
not far behind her in her enjoyment
of the weed, and even the Japanese,
Chinese, Tartar and Dutch wives all
like to let tobacco smoke curl from
their pretty mouths toward the sky,
the Italian signora is, perhaps, the
most passionately fond of the long thin
cigar of the country called the "Vir-
ginia."

Cat Saved House.,

Mr.. and Mrs. N. c. Bishop of Mar
shall, Mo-, think they owe it to their
cat that they now have house. They
had gone into the dining room for
dinner, when they heard the cat new
ing vociferously and dismally in the
sitting room. They investigated and
found that her cries were caused by
the fact that the room was full of fire
and smoke. The heat from a stove
had set fire to the wallpaper, and the
blaze was spreading fast. If Tabithy
had not yelled SO loudly, the house
would soon have been burning over
their heads.

The Worlds Population.

In his presidential address to the
Royal Statistical Society in London
Major Craigie pointed out that since
1880 the population of the world had
increased from approximately S47,-
100000 to approximately 1000, ,000,-
600, of whom one-fourth are in conti-
mental Europe. The empires of China
one-half of this number Six states,
and six only, govern and protect about
three-fourths, and ten control six
sevenths. The order in which the ma

NO MoRE TICKET scA. PING IN

Illinois comes into line with New

action against the ticket scalping
thieves and forgers. three having

while the trial of the Others will
doubtless proceed to another cOnvic-
tion. Chicago has long been favor
ite field for ticket speculation, and a
blow against the nefarious practice
could nowhere have been landed more
effectively. The persistent and unit
ed efforts of the leading railroads of
the country to cxterminate the busi-
ness, which is simply one of petty lar
ceny, robbing the poor and the wage
earners, are bringing most satisfac-
tory results.-From the Brooklyn
