II Is commonly supposed that a hu-
man being has five senses-siaht, hear

now held, however, that to these must
be added a sixth.
The sense of muscular tension that we
experience when we sustain or raise a
weight is really distinct from any or all
OF the so-called five senses" and is en-
titled TO be considers a sixth sense, says
Success. Psychologists who have tried
to Measure it, however, are confronted
by numerous difficulties. Not only is it
hard TO separate it's indications from

cautioned Harold to be sure to bring
Eleanor back with him for rest and a
change; but she had represented to
MIN that it was imperative for her to
be en- hand at the opening of the
term. During the fourth summer-the
one just past-Eleanor had not been
able to come East, owing to the fact
that she had been selected to SUPER
wise the building of a new reading
room for the students of "Clavering,"
which was now in process of erection
Instead, her two brothers, who were
nearly ready to graduate from school,
had gone out to pay her visit, whence
they had returned with glowing ac-
counts OF the attractions of the West

Still she felt, as she settled herself

was glad, on the whole, to be going,
in order to see for herself the fabu-
lous cities whose mushroom growth
out of the bosom of the prairies had
taken place almost within the scope

Eleanor's individual surroundings she
felt but little curiosity. She believed
that she could divine in advance pret-
ty well what they would be, and any
attempt to do so made her shudder
While she was studying the land

Record Of Blind Athletes.

Eighty-eight inmates of the state in
stitute for the blind at Janesville, Wis,
held their field day sports recently
OF the fifteen boys who competed for
prizes offered, thirteen were totally
blind and the other two could see only
moving objects. The hurdles, pole
vault and hammer throwing were left
out, but in their places the standing
high jump. the standing broad jump
the football kick, and the thirty-five
yard dash were contested.
A boy named Konia, totally blind
was first in the thirty-fve yard dash
in 0:04 nat. The distance for the run
ming broad jump was seventeen feet
eight inches and the standing high
jump was four feet six inches. The

soften his asperities. Next to what
a boys own sisters can do for him
are the amenities which come from

that can happen to boy in the first

report was as follows: Il should say
that it was composed of the rinsings of
a sour molasses barrel, the suds OBJ
tanned in washing bar-room floor and
all of the moldy grain the liquid would
absorb. 1t is only 2.75 per cent. alco-

CHAPTER XVI.

She took from him the newspaper
he held out, and read at the place
where his finger indicated the follow
ing telegraphic announcement:
THE trustees of Clavering College.
Illinois, at special meeting held yes
terday, elected Miss Eleanor Baldwin
as president of that institution in place
of David B. Albion. resigned. Miss
Baldwin, the newly elected lady presi-
dent, and late assistant professor of
history and literature at the college, is
in her twenty-fifth year, and is said to
be very attractive in her personal ap-
pearance and favorite with the stu
dents both male and female. Her elec.
tion gives general satisfaction"
What do you think of that?" ex
claimed Harold, with manifest enthu.
siasm, when he saw that his wife had
finished.
What does it mean?" she asked
with somewhat dazed air
Why, she has been chosen presi
dent Of the college.
How can she be PRESIDENT"
How can she be? Why shouldn't
she be? She isn't the first woman who
has been put at the head of an educa.
tional institution. It. a great com
pliment to her. and-and does great
credit to her ability and pluck. Pres
ident! Well, that is ten-strike!"
Harold, l think it's awful"
why is 1t awful?"
I'm the first place, to be known as a
lady president is enough to make one
i'll. Salesladies and lady typewriters
are terribls enough, but this caps the
climax"
Come, now. Cherub, be reasonable.
You are lodging the question. You
must admit that they have paid her a
great compliment"
Emma drew her cloak about her
frigidly, as she replied:
II suppose she has got what she
wanted il you mean that"
Not one girl in thousand would
have done so we'll"
Not one girl in ten thousand would
have wished to-
II am sorry for your sex, then" he
retorted warmly. II mean to telegraph
my congratulation at the next station"
Emma made no reply, and resting
her cheek on her gloved hand, turned
to the landscape again. But the sud
denness with which she reverted her
head for few moments later be-.
trayed the warmth OF her emotions,
though she spoke with measured SEN
tences:
"Of course. Harold, understand and
recognize that it is great compli-
ment, in one sense of the word, to
have been chosen president, or what.
ever it is. of this college; and I will
say frankly that it is surprise to me
that Eleanor should have been selected
to fill such a position. She must have
more ability of certain kind than
gave her credit for, and l am ready to
admit that she is entitled to be CON
graduated. But ii, at the same time
you expect me to say that ! think she
is more to be congratulated because
she is to spend her days as the lady

Rudolph and Adolph are just two &C.
centric laughter provoking beings, who
sing, dance and 'cut-up.' The
resemblance of these two characters
forms the basis of the comedy and is
the cause of the complications which
occur. The Masons have been sur
rounded with an unusually excellent
company of comedians, singers and
pretty women. A large chorus of SHOW
girls" who can sing and dance is n
feature. The scenic environment is
said to be on an elaborate scale. The
more prominent parts are played by
Beatrice Mckenzie, prima donna; Bes-
sic Phillips, soubrette; Ada Henry

genue; Airline Athens, Envy Precan,
Janet Agnew, Lew II. Newcomb, sing

Commerce between the United States
and Turkey amounts TO 54,OOOOo0 pias-
ters annually. This seems like very
considerable sum, but its apparent
magnitude is somewhat reduced by the
matter of-fact announcement of the
Department of Commerce and Labor,
through it's bureau of statistics, that
a plaster is only AZ cents in value Cor
TO be more accurate, "A cents). These
are the figures of the Turkish govern
ment. Reduced to United States cur
rency, they give a total value of little
more than 100000. The figures of
the bureau of statistics, however, state
our total commerce with Turkey last
year at about Sc 900 900 with Turkey in
Europe and about s., 100000 with Tur-
key in Asia. If that of Turkeys de-
pendecy in Africa-Egypt-wer in
cluded, the total would be about $2S,-
900. 900, but the figures of the Turkish
government, regarding its foreign COM
merce, do not include that of Egypt.
1t is not surprising, however, that
the figures of Turkey and those of the
United States do not agree regarding
the commerce between the two coun-
tries, since the routes of transportation
between the two countries are in most
cases across other countries. and thus
render difficult any accurate presenta-
ton of the real value of the commerce
passing between them.
Turkey is one of the countries with
which our commerce consists princi-
pally of imports. While the total COM
merce with Turkey in Europe last year
was over Sc, 900, 600, only 1896. 1856 of that
sum was exports and $5,672,57S was
imports. With Turkey in Asia the
commerce of last year was over $5,OO0,-
O0O but Of this sum only $276,247 was
exports and S4,S97,42s was imports. If
we consider Egypt as part of Tur-
key, the total would be considerably
enlarged, though still with a heavy

been in the direct path of the stor

He stated that the early cotton had
of course. been more or less dam
aged by the bolls washing out,
but that even in this line the loss
had been less than was at first ex-
pected. In the other lines there have
no bad effects and unless there should
be another rainy spell he did not be-
lieve that any great loss would result.
All of the farmers are busy prepar-
ing their products for market and all
are hopeful of a good yield.
There is little expectation that the
sugar cane has been injured, the prob
ability being that the rain has SIM
ply fastened the time for it to ma
ture. The rainfall, unless it is to a
great excess. has a good effect on
the cane growth and is considered by
cane-growers as benefit rather than
an injury. Any greatly excessive rains,
however, injure the cane to some
extent. especially as regards the quality
of sugar which can be made from it.
In such cases the cane absorbs an
unusually large amount of water and
this dilutes its sacharrine quality. 1t
is not believed, however. tina. the
rains OF last week have been suf-
1ciently excessive to cause any great
absorption by the cane. The com
ing of the cooler weather is also cause
for rejoicing among the cane-growers
as the effect is to bring the cane rap
idly to maturity.
